By inferting the following letter in your paper, you will oblige a Coadant Header : Ma. EDITOR—AS the increafe of the pay of offi cers in the army has of late becis the fubjett of much difcuilion, and having feen one or two paragraphs in your paper to this effect, none of which treated on the folic& of the hay pay of the army, though it ought ferioully to be confidered, I am induced; as an old foldier, to trouble you with a few remarks re fpating the hardarips haltpay officers endure, una voidably placed in that lituation at the termination .of a war. It is ton notorious a Isa to require any comment, that at the commencement of the prefent war, Government was depriud of the fervices of many gallant and di ilinguithed members of the army, in confequence of theirfranty pillow having been in adequate to their fupport, and this inconvenience was greatly heightened by the numerous dedullions for poundage. and extra charges made by agents. pfficers placed on the Iriffi half pay labour under in finitely more difadviustages, as the dedaftions arc without meafure, and the pay is generally upwards of twelve months in arrear before they have the final lett prnfpett of obtaining it ; added to this, thould an officer employ au agent in England, which is commonly done, be is again Cubic& to an additional ex pence of pottage and agency, which literally leaves him little or nothing for his fupport. This certainly calls loudly for redrefr, and it is to be hoped Go i vernmeut will embrace fome opportunity of taking it Into confideration, An uniform currency, it was generally expelled, would have been efieblinsed at the union of the two kingdoms, which would conic quently have benefited both the full and half pay, and from fome meafures recently adopted by Govern ment, it iv yet ',returned this lung wished for event will take place. In regard to the increafe of pay,' I have no doubt in my own mind refitating the in tentions of Government, and am of opinion that the Brains army rank too high in the elljrnation uf Ad miniliration to be Coffered to experience the flighteA inconvenience. Many departments require the ml. nutelt inveffigation, and by giving.' fpecific funs of money to each officer in the army in lieu of extras, Government mull ultimately be snitch benefited, and the loyal and deferring foldier be exonerated from the many hatdihips be at preleut unavoidably endures.
