Memorandum. The List given in the last Sessions, and
agreed to by the House, amounted to Fifty-one
thousand Nine hundred and Sixty-four private
Men; viz. Seven thousand Seven hundred and
Seventy Horse, Two thousand Four hundred and
Eighty Dragoons, and Forty-one thousand Seven
hundred and Fourteen Foot: The Charge of which,
for a Year, amounted to One Million Four hundred
Eighty-nine thousand Eight hundred and Twentynine Pounds Fourteen Shillings.
The foregoing List exceeds the said former List by
Two thousand Five hundred and Ninety-eight Men;
viz. Three hundred and Sixty Horse, and Two thousand Two hundred and Thirty-eight Foot: And yet
the Charge is less by Forty-one thousand and Ninetyseven Pounds Seven Shillings and Five pence; by
reason that the Danes and Dutch, in the former
List, were all computed at English Pay; but, in
this List, the Three Regiments of Danish Horse,
Nine Regiments of Dutch Horse, Seven Battalions
of Danish Foot, and Three Regiments of Dutch
Foot, are computed at Dutch Pay, English Pay
being only allowed to the Troop of Dutch Guards,
the Regiment of Dutch Horse Guards, the Regiment of Dutch Dragoon Guards, the Regiment of
Dutch Foot Guards, and the Battalion of Danish
Foot Guards.
