The Governor-General in Council, however, it to be his ditty to tecommetid the principle reduaion to the farther consideration of your tonourable Court. The office of Secretary to the eesidency was created, and the salary fixed, at the amount of 1,500 rupees per month, with a view to lish such a regular gredation of allowances in political department, as might induce a due pro ion of the civil servants of the Honourable Com to diret their attention to that department, duties of which no person can be properly del, who shall not have applied with regularity, for a considerable period of time, to the bus:- of the department. Without some intermedi oettion between the Resident and Assistant, of the emoluments shall be fixed at an amount . to diet which might be received by a civil (ant, of similar rank. in the other departments to service, the Honourable Company cannot I to secure, in this branch, a regular succession vii servants, properly qualified to discharge the of the several political Residencies. All the Residents at Foreign Courts have enjoined to regulate their disbursements, on tnt of presents and secret intelligence, on prin of sttiel economy, and on no account to per the charge for presents to exceed the value of presents which may be made to the Company. have been further required to incur no ex ices of a contingent nature, without the previous taion of the Governor-General inCouncil,except in - of unavoidable necessity ; and when such cases occur, to report without delay to Government amount of the charge, and the grounds on which may have been n.ade. 2t. Under these orders it is to be expelled, that .ne expenses of all the foreign Residencies will be considerably diminished. The accounts of each Resideucy will in future be submitted for revision to the Governor-General in Council once in every nvernh, with a report from the Civil Auditor at Fort Wimp ; and every charge of a contingent nature eill be brought under the special observation of Government. 27. 'lle Residencies at Travancore and at Berodee _ tinder the immediate authority of the Right 110- nonrable the Governor in Council of Fort St. George, and of the Honourable the Governor in Council of Bombay. Neither the duties of these tesidencies, nor of that now subsisting at Goa, can deemed of equal roagnitade or importance to the general teatimes of the foreign Residents with the principal native powers. With the view of effeetieg; if praeliceble, a reduaien of the charge of those Residencies, the expediency of inducting the di►- charge of the ditties of the office of Residents to the officer commanding the subsidiary forceein 'Fra 'encore and in Guierat. with a separate allowance - at Goa, has been suggested for the cousideretion A the Governments of Fort St. George and of Bombay. 28. The Governments of Fort St. George and Bombay have likewise been requested to transmit Fort William a detailed statement of the expence - each Residency in the last year, to enable the Governor-General in Council so propose such reduc tion in the established and contingent charges of the lesidencieg, as he shall consider to be compatiede i;h the public service. 29. The private Secretaey to his Excellency the Most Noble the Governor-General has beefs direele,! to state, for the consideration and Indies of Govern ment, such reduelions as may, witheto inconveni ence, be made in the establishments under his im mediate charge; and similar orders have been issued to all the Civil Officers of Government in charge of public Offices at the Presidency, and to the Super intendent of Chendetaugore, and the Commissioner at Chinsuee. 30. lu the department of the Secretaries to the Government, a considerable reduaion of expense will be made, by the proposed abolition of the office of Secretary in the Department of the Ceded and Conquered Provinces, and by the annexation of the duties of that office to the offices of the Secretaries in the Public, and in the Revenue and Judicial De partmeetc. 'this arrangement will be carried into immediate of t. It has been unavoidably delayed by the state of the provinces, and the urgency of business is the Secretary's office during the war. 31. Redoetiens have been made in the expense of the intebliihmeets of the College of Fort William, according to the orders of your Honourable Court. Those redualions wbl be stated to your Honourable Court, in a separate dispatch, 32. The charge in/tiered on account of the bo tanical garden, at Fort William, has been reduced to the monthly sum of three thousand r upees, includ hoe the vilely of the Supetintendrat, and the este bfishment maintained for botanical purposes at Prince of Wales' leiend, has been reduced at the re commendation of DoOor Roxburgh. The Lieute nant Governor has been &reefed to dispose of all the plantations on the island, the psoperty of Govern ment, by public sale. 33. In addition to the orders addressed to the Courts of Sudder Dewanny and Nizamut Adawlut (as stated in a preceding paragraph of this letter), dire ping those courts to propose the necessary porminent establishment for the administration of justice, and for the duties of the police in the ceded and conquered provinces, the coasts have been required to commence all immediate revision of all the judicial and police establishments in the lower provinces, including Benares ; the melt of their inquiries will be sub mitted to your lionethable Court by a future op portunity ; but, it is apprehended, that no mate rial saving can be expo fed in this branch of the public expenditure, which was very lately revised and settled on the most economical principles which could be adopted, without injury to the public ser vice. I. This observation is equally applicable to the establishment: maintained for the collection of t h e revenues in the lower provinces. A report has been received from the Board of Revenue, that no reduaion of those establishments can be effetted without meterial public inconvenience. 35. The establishments in the department of the General Post-Office were lately revised, and fixed at the lowest scale cenipatible with the regular and expeditious conveyance of the public mails. A statement ha-, been rekuired from the Pcstmaster- General, of the amount of the reduftion of expence arising from the late arrangetneats les the ntr. Office. 36. The present est.iblishmenti, under the S.:- preme C.Jurt of Judicature, at Fort \\*idiom, and under His Majesty's Justices of the Peace tur the town of Calcutta, will admit of no reductign. 37. Orders have been issued to the Ooard 'of Trade at Fort-William, to propose, for the Consi deration and orders of Government, such perma nent or temporary reduCtions in the several establish ments in the commercial department, as shall, in their judgment, be practicable; adverting to the probable contingency, that the inveatnicas to be provided in Bengal, in the present year, will not exceed the sum of eigh• t lacks of Sicca rupees, and that it will not 1* interiur in value to silty lacks 9f rupees. 38. The Commercial Residency at Cc uckpore has been reduced, and the public investment: which may, in future, be required from that Aurung, are to be provided sander the agency of the Commercial Resident at Benares. 39 A reduction of expense, to t!".^ e':tent of six teen hondred rupees per menam, w.ll Ari,e fr. , m the operation of an arrangement, now io progress, for the future discharge of the dut ies ain csrd E the offices Reporter General of External CAnmorz:•, Superintendant of the Cloth lnvestm-nr, and Ex• aminer and Appraiser of Goods at the Co•toin House. The details of this artanzement will bit submitted to your Honourable Ccuit trom the Com mercial D:partment. 40. The Board of Trade has been direeted to re vise fall the Establishments under their authority, in the Departments of Salt, Opium, and Customs, and to report, for the consideration and orders of Government, whether there establishments will admit of any reduetion, and to what extent. 41. Orders have also been tented to the Marine Board to undertake a, revision of all the establish ments in the Marine Departruents, and to report such retrenchment as may, in their judgment, be prafticable ; stating at the same time their opinion, whether the services of the sun-vessels et present employed under the immediate orders of this Go, vernment may not now be dispensed with, in ilia present commanding stare of the strength of His Majesty's squadron in the Indian Seas ; and under the very able and judicious distribution of the naval force which has been made by Sir E. Pellew, for the prote.Rion of our trade and possessions in India. 42. The same considerations have induced the Governor-General in Councli to propose to Sir Ed ward Pellew the transfer of the flowlap frig ate and the lifienington cruiser to the service of His Ma. jesty. From defals in the Honourable Company's , Marine Establishment at Donate:l, which are iire mediable under its present constitution, it may be doubted whether ships of this size can be ever ex petted to render services adequate to the very heavy expense attendant on the maintenance of them. The ship employed as a cruiser at Prince of Wales' Island has also been direlled to be discharged. 43. When the arrangem-nts now in progress at this Presidency for the rejtietion of the politic charge is every department of the service,, shall have been completed, the Governor-General in Council will submit to your Honourable Court a detailed state ment of the annual sum in which the public expen diture may be diminished by their operation. the aggregate amount of the reduaion of charges will certainly prove considerable: 44. The Right Honourable the Governor in Council of Fort St. George, and the Honourable the Governor in Council of Bombay, have been di rated by the Governor-General in Council (as al ready notified in the dispatch from His Excellency in Council to the Secret Committee of your Ho nourable Court, dated the 23d March last, and transmitter: by the Benxi!) to c?mmehce an im mediate revision cf all the public establishiumts at those Presidencies, with a View to the redu.ion of every charge which may not be absolutely and in dispensibly necessary. 44. The charge incurred for the collation of the land revenue under the Presidency of Fort St. George, appearing to bear a much higher propor tion to the aggregate amount of the revenue, than the charge of the collations in Bengal beats to the amount of the land revenue in these provinces, the attention of die Government of Fort St. George has been particulaily directed to the examination of the Causes to which this difference is to be ascribed ; and it has been suggested to the Right Honourable the Goverpot in Council, that this branch of the public expenditure may probably admit of considerable re daticn.

The Residency at ( . loa has also been reduced, and the duties of that of& e will in fteure be pet- formed by the officer - commending the British troops at GOA, to whom a personal allowance of two thousand rapers per ',lenient has been granted, in addition to lite military pay and allowances, in con- sideration *1 the additional trouble and responsibi- lity imposed on him by this arrangement. The Resident at Goa received a monthly salary if three thousand rupees. tl. The personal allowances received by all the remaining Residents at foreign Courts, under the immediate anthenity of this Gov'ernment, with the exception of the Resident at Lucknovr, were esta- blished at their present standard nearly thirty years ago, and will admit of no redu,ion. The Resi- dents, however, at the Courts of Poona, Ile- derailed, blaugpore, Mysore, Delhi, and at the Court of Don Ent Rao Scindis, have been required on ) no account to permit their charge for tabl e-allaw- i - fusee, camp-equipage, and attendants, to exceed the monthly sure of rupees five thousand r e • bun- . dred and ninety-three, the average amount of the charge on this account made by the Residents at Poona and at Hyderabad for severe: years imme- diately preceding the veer 1798.
