United States [New York]

Gentleman of the Senate,June 2nd 1790.

The Troops at present in service consisting of one regiment of Infantry and one Battalion of artillery were apportioned by the acts of the former Congress on the States of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania; and as the Officers of said troops are in actual service, I nominate them, as in the list hereunto annexed, according to their ranks respectively, for appointments under the act for regulating the military establishment of the United States, passed the 30th of April 1790.1 And as the said act requires an additional number of officers for one battalion of Infantry, I nominate, under the head of “New-Appointments” in the annexed list, the officers for the same from Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia; it being proposed to raise the said battalion in those States.
