That the non-commissioned officers and privates of the regiment extra
ordinary be draughted into the old battalions of the quota of this state
in the continental service, and that the field and commissioned officers
of said regiment be recalled.
	And be it enacted, That the said field and commissioned officers
shall be reimbursed the extraordinary expence they may have incurred,
and over and above the pay that may be due to them at the time of
their discharge, shall receive one year's pay, deducting therefrom the
money and value of the cloathing and other necessaries by them
received; provided always, that lieutenant-colonel Alexander Lawson
Smith, of the said regiment extraordinary, do hold the rank of lieu
tenant-colonel, as a supernumerary officer of this state in the continental
service, he having resigned his commission in the continental service for
the purpose of accepting the command of the said regiment, and being
entitled in course to the rank of lieutenant-colonel."
