My Lords, in calling upon the bends of the other departments of his Majesty% civil government to :titer upon a tevision of their respective establishments, with a view to such economical reductions WI may fulfil the intentions of his Majesty, expressed in his answers to the addles es of bolt !louses of Pailiam.m, think it right to state the principle.: upon which they have pro • ceeded, and the course they have fidloweel in the r.vision of the establishment of the Treasury tinder their immediate direction. They have thought that they should best carry into execution the intentions expressed in the addresses of Parliament, by keep ing in view the following general rules:- Ist. That every office was to be restored to the situation in re. spear to the number of persons eniployed, and of their rapective emoluments, in which it stood in 1707, unless some adequate came continued to exist which rendered some alteration neces sary in future, and that the mode of regulation which seems in all re.-pests most eligible. is to ix etsi ye, that individuals themselves who may hereafter enjoy the benefit of atiperamitta tion allowances, bliotihl be called non to tottailnite to a slip r ant:tuition fund, to be administered tinder the direction tn . their Lordship:, and aceoiding to the full using regulations, viz. Ist. All persons holding ofliets, tile sataries nr pecuniary emo luments of which, after tevision, nottioin together to 1001. at year, or upwards, and who are entitled to sopentnnuation tinder the act 30 Geo. 111., c. 117, to contribute 3 per c.. 0. of such salaries or emoluments to • fund to be called tt The General So petanntiation Fund," (My !ends will have mulct further consi deration what directions shall ke given with respect to office% not amounting to 1001. a year.) 2 I. My lords are of opinion. that in addition to the above rely, whedi may be cunsidcued as a fair contribution to be 'required from the individuals who may be entitled to supenumnation nailer the act of the 30111 George II i. c. t 17. in aid of the charge in curred by the public in respect thereof, a further contribution may justly be required hunt those who are in possesaion of tom. loments which have been increased since 179 q, and which arc greater than it is intended hereafter permanently to attach to their respective situation , . They therefore think that persona bokling offices, the salaries of which are hereafter to be reduced, should be called upon to pay an additional contribution of two and a half per cent. upon all eftiees exceeding 1001. a year, and THE NATIONAL REGISTER not exceeding 5001. Five per cent. from 5001. and not exceed ing 1,0401. And ten per cent. exceeding I,ouol. Provided that the increase of such re-pective salaries since 1797 shun have been not I,Ns than double the amount of the additional contribution hereby required. Such w!ditional co n tribution: respectively to muse whenever the parties paying the same shall be promoted to a situstion entitled, under the new regulations, to a salary equal to that which they now possess. &h. Ni, mperanntintiun to he granted to any such contributor, except by the Treasury, and by that board only, nt tour periods to be lifted in each year lexcel‘t in easel of immediate urgency), when a speciid boat d I.r la arils sled! he held for the purpose of considering all opplicadons received in the preceding quarter ; notice of which board shall be given to the heads of the depart ments raonuocniling such applications:, from each of which so,ue proper officer shall, if napfired, attend to answer all such 101,Cti011z at die board of treasury may put, in order to enable it eat to e.sci,lc upon the fitness oe rehaive urgency of each appli cation ; am d to distribute the ilk;sofethle Ammon of the fund, or su much of it us may be r«pii-ite„ in such manner as, upon an cxaminatiod of all the cases before diem, may appear must con ducive to justice rind the public interest. VI. The interest accruing upon the contributions to be aprlied in the first ins mice to the expense of manage:nem of the fund, and the remaiutlcr to accumulate for the benefit of it. th. If the nAgregute atm now paid in superannuation allow ances to public servants alio hold apices coining within the de scription uP the first article, shall be found to exceed one-tenth of the as;g7egate amount of the salaries and pecuniary taindit ;ileitis of all the said offices. the new tilliMlllllllll46l.llB to he granted in any one year shall not exceed one-half of the saving ari•ing from such of those allowances as may have elapsed in the preceding year. until the whole sum so granted shall be reduced to till per cent. or under that amount, in contimmity to the 4th article. _ My lords are further of opinion, that it will be proper to pro pose to Parliament to repeal the several rates of allowances enacted by the 3th Geo. 111. cap. 117, and to substitute the Ibllowin:4 in lien thereof, viz.-- Above ten years' service, and not exceeding 15, 4 12dis of the salary: above 13, and not exceeding 20, 5-I.2ths ; above 20, and not eat:coding 23. 6-120 h; above 23, and not exceeding 50. 7-I2ths; above M.), and not exceeding 55, S-121.i15; above 55, and not exceeding 40, ; above ao, and not exceeding 43, 10-12ths ; above 4.5, and not exceeding at, 11-12 the ; and above 30, the whole. Such respective allowances to be calculated upon the salary and pecuniary emoluments of the office, as charged to the payment made to the contribution fund ; and in no case to exceed the net sum received by the officer after the de duction of such payment. My Lords arc same. that notwithstanding the extreme im portance of adhering to this scale as much as possible, there may arise special cases which it would be difficult to foresee or enumerate, with respect to which some departure from this scale may become indispensable, and that authority to provide accord ingly should be reserved to their Lortlships ; they are of opinion, however, that it should be ennettsl, that in all such circumstances the cases should be laid before Parliament, together with a re• port of the circumstances which have led their Lordships to make the exception. My Lands, in calling upon the heads of the other departments of his Majesty's Civil Government to enter upon a revision of their respective establishments, with a view to such economical reductions us may fulfil the intentions of his Majesty, ex;vessed in his answers to the addresses of both Houses of Pa:hauteur, think it right to state the principles upon which they have pro ceeded, and the coerse they have followed, in the revision of the establishou of of the 'frrnsury under their immediate direction. They have thought that they should hest carry into execution the intentiia.s expressed in the iidilresses of Parliament, by keep ing in view the following g,neral rules:— fat. That every office witg to be restored to the situation, in respect to the number of persons employed, and of their respe...- live emoluments, in which it stood in 1197, unless some adequate cause continued to exist, which rendered some alteration Illtiar• td. That where increase of business, or the more correct and efficient execution of the public service, rendered it necessary to preserve establishments either created or enlarged since 1/97, the emoluments of the officers composing those establishments should be assimilated, as nearly as the change of circumstances would admit, to those received by persons in similar situations in 1797. Sil. That if any office existing in 1797 was found to be no longer necessary to the public service, or that its emoluments might be properly reduced. such office should be abolished or reduced in value, as the case might admit. Proceeding upon the foregoing rule , , my Lords began by a careful comparison of the establishment of the Treasury in 1797, and as it now exists; mid finding that a very large increase had taken place both in respect of the number of persons employed, and the amount of their emoluments in some parts of the office. they directed a plan to be prepared of a new establishment, in which no greater number of officers should be retained titan was necessary for the execution of the imsiness of the Treasury in its present state, enlarged its it has been by the incorporation of the whole business of the Irish Treasury, ass well as greatly Merest-sett in other respects, and in which the emoluments of each class of officers should be as nearly assimilated to those of corresponding situations in 1797, as the alteration of the eircuinstancta, of the office would fairly admit. Fitch a elan having basin prerare I accordingly, and approved by iheir Lordships, they have directed that the new establistiment shall be considered us taking effect front the Sill of January next, and that every new appointnient or promotion which may take place from that day shall be considertal as subject to the new re gulations. In order to introduce this new system as early as may be prac ticable, yet with as little inconvenience as possible to the indivi dn.!, whose interests may be affected, they have directed Mat every person whose situation is nut to be abolished shall retain his present emoluments (subject to such payment to the wiper annoated fund as may be due therefrom), until, by promotion, or allowance for length of service, he shall be entitled, under the new regulations, to a salary at least equal w that which lie now possesses. . _ Under every disadvanta.;e of the late unpromising weather, the most intelligent farmers are of opinion that the present will turn out to be an average crop throughout England. France and the Netherlands have hutl an abundant harvest ; and the stores of tl►e hitter country, the most lertile in the West of Europe, nre described to he overflowing with grain. A very large proportion of English Wheat remains on hand from last year's crop. On Thursday, it. Rush, Esq. the American En voy, went to Chatham, to sec the Royal Dock-yard, and other public establishments. His Excellency was received wits► military honours by Col. Sir A. Christie, command:tat of the garrison, ani every pos,ible attention p thl to hint by Admiral Sir B. Hallowell, Commissioner Sir R. Barlow, and the heads of the several Government departments. Af ter inspecting the Dock-yard and B wracks, his Ex cellency dined with Sir B. Hallowell, and on Friday, slier continuing his visit to whatever was worthy of notice. LANCASHIRE ASSIZES. Before .11r.

The latter indeed have one feature about them a ven untie hideous and disgusting than the jacohins themselves. 'they fell down and worshipped the Goddess of Reason, a must respectable and decent sort or being." And you know, gentlemen, that she was a common pros titute taken from the stews of Paris. " A most respectable and decent sort of twine, compared with that which the radicals have set up as the idol of the;: worship.

'fill this had been done, I would never have defiled my hands by placing the sacred symbols in hers : and this she would have been compelled to do in those good old days when church discipline was in its pristine vigour and activity." Gentlemen, the author of the libel is a Minister of the Gospel. The libel is a sermon ; the act of publication was preaching; the place was his CillifTll; the day was the Sabbath; the audience was Isis congt egetiou. Far be it from me to treat lightly that office el which he wears the nut Was al vestments, and which he by his comlnct o lanes. A pious, humble, inoffensive, charitable Minister of the Gospel of peace is duly entitled to the tribute of affection and respect which is ever cheerfully bestowed. Hilt I know no title to our affectiou or veneration which is possessed by a meddling, intriguing, thrbilleut priest, even when he chooses to separate his sacred °Bice from his profane acts; but far less when Ise mixes up both together —when lie refrains not f entering the sanetusry with calumny—when lie not only invades Ilse sacred circle tit domestic life with the torch nisi nailer, Out enters the hal lowed threshold of the temple and casts it (Lignite on the altar—when he pollutes with rata: eatitittoks the air a hit Is lie especially is hound to preserve holy and pure—when he makes the worship of God the ineatts iii injuring his iteighlreur, and polluting the llock • Jed to his 11'411`.
