712 Account of Regulations 



Whether now this division of the army is more con- 

 venient than the former one, and better proportioned 

 to the size and population of the Electoral states, every 

 person acquainted with such matters will be able to 

 judge. 



The 4th light-horse regiment has for special reasons 

 not yet been raised. The other regiments, however, 

 are already actually raised ; and one of them, namely, 

 the ist light-horse regiment, is already more than full; 

 and another one, namely, the ist body-guard dragoon 

 regiment, lacks only a few men of being full. 



Every staff company has now assigned to it one 

 captain with actual rank of captain. Hereafter there 

 will be assigned to each company 3 commissioned 

 officers: namely, i captain, or staff captain with rank 

 of captain ; i first lieutenant ; and i second lieutenant. 



Each company will also receive 8 non-commissioned 

 officers : namely, i orderly sergeant ; i quartermaster 

 sergeant ; 2 sergeants ; 4 corporals ; and 8 exempts 

 (Gcfreite\ And these are already actually appointed 

 in almost all the regiments. 



Every artillery company has 4 officers : i captain ; 

 i first lieutenant; 2 second lieutenants: and 14 non- 

 commissioned officers : i orderly, or head-gunner ; 

 i quartermaster sergeant ; 4 sergeants, or gunners ; 

 8 corporals; and 16 exempts (Gefreite). 



On this plan the skeleton of the army is already 

 actually constructed, and provision has already been 

 made for its instruction. The new tactics have not only 

 been devised, but also, in most of the regiments, already 

 introduced. The new regulations for the infantry are 

 ready to be printed. The new ordinances of the council 

 of war are actually in print.
