Clinton to Barrington. New York. Report on his enquiries carried out by the Adjutant General regarding the promotion of Lieutenant Shuttleworth in preference to Lieutenant Layard. Notices in the Gazette that Layard is signified as having succeeded to a company in the 7th Regiment by purchase, hopes this is a mistake. Observations and arguments on the subject.
