Sin,--In viewing the late arrangements of the itish Government, in giving the Subaltern Depart ments and Soldiers ef the Army two years rank ns a reward for their conduct in the action of ‘Vaterloo (a circumstance which has no such prior instance for its example), it cannot but appearlo every disin terested person that such a masked distinction in the ackuesledeinent of the merits of that army, when compared with the recant equally highly appre ciated services of the Peninsular Army, is a dis tinction as unmerited as it is impolitic, and cal culeted to cause and increase all that dissatis fat lion which is now so justly and severely felt by those of the latter army, who were not also at Waterloo. For, however gallantly the army may have behaved in that action, which has proved so thoroughly derisive in its consequences—however in lc ined the Govertoment may haie been to appreciate highly services which have been crowned with 'such ' brilliant results—l cannot, Mr. Forron, forbear observing, that the measure adopted of attsching.pecu liar honours and rewards to the army of Waterlo , -, hes caused a great degree of jealousy and dissatisfac tion to exist, among those whom by the acknOw ledgmetots of their country, has so eminently distin ' geislood themselves, during a series of arduous cam paigns, occupying a period of nearly seven years.— Let rely 'ensemble man ask' himself—Do the deci sive kat results of an action enhance the merits of the age n ts? Not at all ; had they tailed (as was neatly the case), their exertions would have been adorn% leolg ed, a Ithootoglo not rewarded. Put the case in +moth,: light, and suppose those rewn!ds to have been foireded on I' e strong terms of sate - farlion made use of in the Disl•vcio of the D ke of Wrt.r.teneov, I isliese it a ill be found that his apptobation'of the conduct of his army et the Mae of the Pyrenees; ( Pr no pel ells ). is expressed in much et miler language. What are men to think who have (might the betties of Albuere, Salamanca, Thorelouse, the storming of Badajns and Ciudad Rodrigo, and a series of actions itifieitels ton numerous to he mentioned, and inasmucl more glorifies' as the obstacles to he encountered were greater ? That those events were frequently both preceded and followed by circumstances of prise-1 Linn. climate, end diffLoolty, which. required the greatest stresogth of mind and body to support. I repeat, what are men who have served thus eminent. ly in such arduous campaigns to imagine, when they find rewards heaped on many, whir have perhaps been in that only action, and that, under such cir cumstances of comfort, with respect to proximity of good quarier.• &c. as though one shou'd say— " We will break up from our quarters in Westmin glee, and light the battle of Vauxhall ?" On exami nation I believe we shall find, the army which sailed for America was composed of the strongest regi ments, and those whose services had been eminently conspicuous in the Peninsula campaign, and it is on those regiments that the case falls particularly severe, to find on their return from an arduous service, that ninny who had been junior to themselves in the. army, are now become senior to them, from the re sult of a single action ! lam ceraitoly of opinion, it never can have been the intention of his Ito) al ilighness the PitINCE Renv:ser to wound the feelings of the subaltern departments and soldiers of the. army of the Peninsula, by eating so apparent nn odium on their long and painful services, as that has manifested in this particular insolence. I cannot but suppose he was hurried away into immediaW, steps of reward by the warmth and sincerity of his acknowledgment of merit; and I sincerely hope he will, ere this, have concurred in the necessity:of making arrangements for the reward of 111(0:e alread) acknowledged, long, and important services of the Peninsula army, as particularly relating to the subal tern officers sod soldiers, as there are a large pro portion of them in the army whose career, begin ning, perhaps. nearly at the same period as those 'campaigns, have tint arrived at that promotion, • which every other more fortunate (less have enjoyed; and, at the same time, that -the duties of the former have been infinitely more subject to the difficulties of fatigue and hardship than those of any other rank.
