APPENDIX.
Major - - Crescent in gold, star in silver.
1st Captain - Star in silver, with small diamond in centre.
2d Captain - Star in silver.
Lieutenants - Small star in silver, with one quarter of crescent.
Sergeant Major 3 Marks.
Sergeants - -2 Marks.
Corporals - 1 Mark.
Bars on the arm were to be introduced into the artillery
service.
The men are retained as long as they are serviceable, and, if
disabled, or wounded, they are entitled to half pay. They receive
every year a white linen, and also a woollen uniform, either red,
blue, or brown, according to the colour of their regiments. The
price of the linen dress is fifteen ; of the cloth sixty piastres.
Their necessaries are soap, one or two shirts, and a knapsack
supplied by government. A company is divided into ten messes,
each of which have a separate bowl. Their food consists of
lentels, and bread; and meat is supposed to be served out every
fourth day; married men may take their rations to their families.
Tents are provided by government; baggage is carried by
camels, boats, <fcc. &c. belonging to the country; as there are not
any baggage animals attached to the regiments. Courts-martial
are composed of one of each rank.
A regiment of cavalry consists of six squadrons, each squadron
of four pelotons, each peloton of two companies, each company of
two escouardes, each escouarde of six men. The officers are a
colonel, a lieutenant-colonel, two chefs d'escadrons, one adjutant,
one standard-bearer (or cornet), six 1st captains, six 2d captains,
six 1st lieutenants, six 2d lieutenants, six quarter-masters, seventy-
two non-commissioned officers, with the usual number of surgeons,
veterinary surgeons, and farriers. The regiments are numbered,
and in 1836 three of them were to be equipped as cuirassiers with
appointments after the French fashion.
A regiment of infantry is composed of four battalions, each
consisting of 1000 men, divided into eight companies, of which
one is composed of grenadiers, and another of light infantry.
The officers are nearly on the same footing with those of the
cavalry. The drums, fifes, and music, are like those in the French
establishments. Four guns are attached to each regiment. As
some of the muskets are made after the English, and some after
the French pattern, two sorts of ammunition are necessary. Each
