Hardy p. 255. Ao 1783; after April. The Volunteers were
"not satisfied, because their old General" did not the reso
(Lord Charlemont) did not move the Resolution in their favour,
as heretofore; + but they could not have been more Copy to "interest foundation"
in p.256
"dissatisfied than many of those who had passed the
"resolution; and who would gladly have voted, not merely
"the thanks, but the volunteers themselves null and void,
"could they have done so with safety.That army was
"become disagreeable, not to say odious, to some persons
"in power. They menaced certain of the volunteers in private
"and complimented them in public. The menace
"and the compliment were alike inefficacious. In
"vain was it insinuated, that their longer continuance
"in arms would be considered as dangerous to the
"State. In vain was it declared, with a profession
"of courtesies, that no men had ever acted better, and
"that as it was now a time of peace, and every constitutional
"point granted on the part of England,
"they should look to an honourable repose. This was
"true, but the sincerity of those who spoke thus was
"much questioned, and that circumstance spoiled all.
"No one moved. The only auxiliary, which some
"impatient politicians could now look to, for the
"dissolution or decay of the volunteer army, was time
"itself, and that would have aided them though
"slowly. But proceedings were now to take place,
"of a nature, it must be confessed, most novel and
"alarming, which from a particular epocha in the
"History of Lord Charlemont, and the volunteer army,
"and contributed, more than any event whatever,
"to shake that institution to its utmost foundation.
