RETRENCHMENT. • EXT R ACT OF TREASURY MINUTE, DATED AUG. 10, 18'2 REDUCTION AND ALTERATION IN THE . ESTABLISHMENT. • My Lords, in calling Tii:o;iicefiLys - „;iihe other Depat tments of his Majesty's Civil Government to enter upon a revision of their respective Establishments, with a view to such economical reductions as may fulfil the intentions of his Majesty, express ed in his answers to the Addresses of both Houses of Parlia ment, think it right to state the- principles upon which they have proceeded, and the course they have followed in the re vision of the establishment of the - Treasury under their imme diate. direction. They have thought that they should best carry into execu tion the intentions expressed in the Addresses of Parliament, by keeping in view the following general rules :- Ist. That every office was to be restored to the situation, in respect to the number of persons employed, and of their respec tive emoluments, in which it s to o d in 17i17, unless some ade quate cause continued to exist, which rendered some alteration necessary. 2d. That where increase of business, or the more correct and efficient etecution of the public service rendered it necessary to preserve establishments either created or enlarged since 1797, the emoluinent 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. 3d. 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 rules, my Lords began by a careful comparison of the establishment of the Treasury in 1797 and as it now exists ; and 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 ncv establishment, in which no greater number of officers should be retained than was necessary for the execution of the business of the Treasury in its present state, enlarged as it has been by the incorporation of the whole business of the Irish Treasury, as well as greatly in creased in other respects, and in which the emoluments of each class of officers should be as nearly assimilated to those of cor responding situations in 1797, as the alteration of the circum stances of the office would fairly admit. Such a plan having been prepared accordingly, and approved by their Lordships, they have directed that the new establish ment shall be considered as taking effect from the sth of January next, and that every new appointment or promotion which may take place from that day shall be considered as subject to the new regulations. _ In order to introduce this new system as early as may be prac ticable, yet with as little inconvenience as possible to the indi viduals whose interests may be affected, they have directed that every person whose situation is not to be abolished shall retain his present emoluments (subject to such payment to the super annuated 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 to that which he now possesses. HOLYROOD HOUSE. A few days ago we informed our readers of a meeting of the Peers of Scotland, held so long ago as 11th April, 1820 ; at which their Lordships took into consideration the measures which had been pursued to obtain the reparation of Holyrood house Chapel, and the erection of Stalls there for the Knights of the Thistle, with a view to the election of the Representative Peers being conducted under the banners of that most ancient and illustrious order. Regarding the proposed measure as one of great national importance, we have much pleasure in laying before our readers the minutes of the above meeting and the Report and Petition to his Majesty, which we formerly noticed: Minutes of a Meeting of the Peers of Scotland, held at Edin burgh, on the 11th of April, 1820. The Right Hon. the Earl of KELLIE in the Chair. Resolved, Ist, That the Meeting has observed with great sa tisfaction, that the arrangements this day were better than they have been at many former elections, but there still remains much to be done to render them complete, and such as becomes the dignity of the Nobles of Scotland, when assembled for the purpose of election or any other occasion. 2d, That they approve of the minute or memorandum pre sented to the Right Hon. the Secretary of State tier the Home Department, in June, 1818, (a copy of which is hereunto an nexed) and the suggestions therein contained. 3d, That the thanks of the Meeting be given to the Earls of Balcarras, Aboyne, Aberdeen, Roseberry, and the Lords Reay, and Belhaven and Stenton, who signed the said memorandum or minute; to the Earl of Morton, who su pp or t e d it pe rsona lly, and to Lord Grey, who forwarded a separate representation to the same effect. 4th,. That the Meeting do particularly concur in the opinion expressed in that memorandum, that. the Peers be attended at all their Meeting's by the proper and constitutional officer of the Peerage of Scotland, viz. the Usher of the White Rod, to whom they-may give such instructions as circumstances require, and that he do take charge of all the arrangements, and give what directions he may deem requisite to the comfort and due accom modation of the Peers. 6th, That two Committees be appointed, the one in London, the other in Edinburgh, to whom White Rod will communicate the steps taking to perfect these arrangements, and to whom he may occasionally apply for instruction and support. These Committees to be open, and to consist of two or more Peers re sident in London or in Edinburgh, as the case may be, respec tively, with authority to them to take such steps-in name of the Peerage as to them may seem proper, to appoint Special Sub- Committees in either place, to call Meetings of the Peers, and to issue orders to White Rod accordingly; 6th, That White Rod be directed to report the form and ceremonial, to be followed upon all occasions, when the Peers are assembled for the purpose of electing the Noble Persons who are to represent them in the United Parliament of Great Britain and Ireland. 7th, That White Rod do also inquire into and report con cerning the fees, which the Peers have been called upon to pay on their elections, and to accompany it with such observations and suggestions as he shall think proper. Bth, That the thanks of. the Meeting be given to the Earl of Kellie fox:his attention in the-Ch: and that he do sign these minutes, in their names, and by their authority. (Signed) KELLIE. Report by Sir Patrick Walker, Usher of the White Rod, humbly submitted to the Most Noble the Right Ilonourable the Peers of Scotland, in obedience to the orders contained in their Lordships' minutes of the 11th April, 1820 : It has long been observed with regret, that little or no atten tion is given to conduct the meetings of the Peers in a suitable manner, when assembled at Holyrood-house, for the purpose of electing the representatives to Parliament. Whether it be considered on the ground of the respect that is due to persons of their exalted rank, or of its political con sequences, it is highly necessary to give every possible appear ance of state and ceremony to the meetings of the Peers. In deed it is a duty your Lordships owe to yourselves and the pub lic, not to omit any thing that can mark the superiority of an assemblage of the Nobility over every other meeting, in order to impose upon the minds of the mass of the people a due feel ing of the distinction of ranks. With these sentiments White Rod has peculiar pleasure in obeying the commands of your Lordships to report upon this subject. The Reporter has already noticed verbally what occurred to him respecting the restoration of the Chapel of Holyrood-house, as the basis of a better arrangement for the accommodation of the Peers, which he humbly presumes will meet with the ap probation of his Majesty. By this arrangement, a just degree of importance would be given to the proceedings, as the Peers might then assemble in his Grace the Keeper's apartments, and proceed through the Picture Gallery into the Chapel Royal, by the eastern, or what was called Queen Mary's entry, and hold the election under the banners of the Knights of the Most An cient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle. The Reporter humbly takes leave to press upon your Lord ships the propriety of a decided and united endeavour to obtain the restoration of the Chapel Royal, which there are the strong est reasons for doing ; but to enumerate these would be an un necessary repetition of the reasons for reviving the Ore.:7 of the Thistle, as expressed in the patent of 1687, and or the patriotic feelings that animate all Scotsmen. For who is he that does not feel proud in the remembrance of those chivalrous deeds that maintained the independence of Scotland, and repelled its invaders ? In the triumph of those victories, and to comme morate the gallant deeds of our fathers, which acquired to it the boast of never having been conquered, the national Order of the Thistle was established in Scotland. And what could be more pleasing to our gracious and to the Government— or what could be more grateful to a gallant nation—and what so appropriate to cherish the recollection of the glorious achieve ments performed in our own times—as the restoration of the Chapel of the Order of the Thistle ?_ The only consideration and difficulty is the expense, for upon these points there can be no difference of opinion in any part of the United Kingdom. To economize may be highly proper in the general sense—but to admit it as a reason for objecting to the restorraion of the Chapel Royal of liolyrood-house would be greatly misplaced, especially as the sum required for that, pur pose cannot be excessive. Evenif the amount was considerable, the articles of union have provided, " that there be a commu nication of all other rights, privileges and advantages, which do or may belong to the subjects of either kingdom, except where it is otherwise expressly agreed in these articles." Hence, as the chapel. 4 of.the Orders of England are kept in perfect order and repair at 'Windsor and Westminster, it follows that the chapel of the national order of Scotland at liolyrood-house should be placed in a like good order and repair. Justice, therefore, and an equitable interpretation of the Act of Union, not to say the favourable one provided for by the Articles themselves, entitle the people of Scotland to expect the preservation of this monument of their nation's glory, and they naturally look to the Nobles of that part of the United King doni, and to the Knights of their most ancient and most noble Order of the Thistle, to represent the claim to their beloved Sovereign. To obtain such a boon must increase the ardour and attachment of a brave and loyal people to their King and Government ; and the Peers would deservedly command addi tional regard and respect from the people, by becoming the me dium ot restoring to Scotland such a gr a tifying memorial of former times. The reporter has found various instances of investitures of Knights of the Thistle at Holyrood-house, down to so late a period as 1755, but these will be brought into view by the steps about to be taken by the Knights of that Order. If your Lordships airproVe of this report, it will be necessary that White Rod transmit copies of these proceedings to the Right Honourable. the Lord Viscount Sidmouth, with a request in the name of your Lordships that he will afford all the aid and countenance he finds himself at liberty to give in support of this measure. . I The mode of proceeding should be by an Address and Me morial to the King, to be signed by ti:e Peers of. Scotland, and to be presented by those of their number who may be resident in London at the time, attended by their proper Officer. The minor detail of the ceremony Will be afterwards submit ted, as its forth will depend upon the result of this application. The following is a copy of the proposed Address and Memo rial of the Peers of Scotland to his Majesty : We, your Majesty's loyal and dutiful councillors and sub jects, the Peers of Scotland; beg leave to approach the throne, and humbly to represent to your Majesty, that the Chapel Royal of your Palace of Holyrood House, appointed to be the chapel of the most ancient and most noble Order of the Thistle, is in a very ruinous condition, and we earnestly pray that your Majesty may bt: graciously pleased to take its situa tion into your royal consideration. In consequence of the great inconvenience which we expe rience, when assembled at Holyrood House, for the purpose of electingour Representatives to the United Padiament, we called upon your Majesty's Usher of the White Rod, whose duty we conceive it is, as the Usher of the Parliament, and of the 1 of Scotland, to attend to such matters, to report to us how it might be remedied. And as his Report, with our approba tion thereof, 'accompany this memorial, it is not necessary to repeat what is therein stated, nor to add other reasons in sup port of the present application. Referring to that report, we conclude our, humble suit, by praying, on behalf of ourselves, and on' that of a most loyal, a most gallant, and a most impor tant mart of the United Empire, that it may please your Most Excellent Majesty, to take into your Majesty's consideration, the propriety of re storing the ancient Chapel Royal of Holyrood House to its former state and splendour, so as to enable the Peers of Scotland to conduct their Meetings with - becoming dignity and decorum, by holding their Elections under the banners of their Most Ancient and Most Noble Na tional Order of the Thistle, which will add much to the comfort of the Peers, and be an everlasting proof to the People of Scotland of the high sense your Majesty enter tains of their meritorious services in the late war, and • their devotion in defence of the rights of the British Einpire.—(EDTNlttiltGli CORRESPONDENT.) BRIGHTON', SEPT. 20.—1 t is still said that our gracious Monarch will be here prior to his de parture for Hanover. At the Pavilion, however, every thing remains in stain quo, and nothing certain appears to be known on the subject.— The Duke of YORK, with his accustomed libe rality, has subscribed 20 guineas to the Society of United Fishermen of this town.—Agreeably to the tenor of our remarks last week, the fishermen, it has been proved, have no controut over our Steyne Lawlithey are to enjoy the privilege of drying their nets there as usual, and that is all.— We have before alluded to a general Sea Bath ing Infirmary being established here. We have it from good authority that his MAJESTY will subscribe no less a sum, in the event of its being carried into effect, than .2000 guineas. It is need less to comment on on this unbounded liberality; it requires none. It is a thing generally desired —it is required in fact—and that is a plea suf ficient to call forth the liberal feelings of so generous a Prince.—Upwards of 30001. have al ready been subscribed towards the establishment of Steam Boats on this station.—Very fine mutton from Devonshire, was sold in our market last week, at sd: the pound. About a thousand fat sheep from the above county have been landed at Shoreham, all of which, it is hoped, pro bone publico, will be similarly disposed of. BRISTOL, SEPT. consequence of the return of CATALANI to England, we are soon to have a grand Musical Festival for the benefit of the Infirmary of our City. It is expected to take place on the 30th of next month and the three following days. ASHE, the Director of the Bath and Bristol Concerts, has, it seems, under taken the management,and that celebrated singer is to lend her powerful aid on the occasion ; and Mrs. SALMON, BEGREZ, SAPIO, PLACI, and BELLAMY are also engaged. CRAMER is to be at the head of the musical department as Leader, and LINDLEY and Sox, the, GRIESBACHS, WIL LAN, the PETRIDES, MAHON, &c. arc to form the Band. The Duke of BEAU FORT, with the surrounding Nobility, and the chief Inhabitants of Bristol, are, we understand, to give their warm support, so that the Meeting is expected to be very numerous and prodtictive. CATALANI is still at Cheltenham. Miss STE PHENS concluded her engagement at that place on Thursday, for her benefit, which was attended by a crowded audience. Mr. J. SMITH, father of the little singing boy, excited great applause in sustaining the operatic parts with Miss STE PHENS and the whole was a gratifying treat. Lord TIIANET is confined to his room with a serious attack of the gout at Fenton's Hotel. We are informed that a new road to avoid Croydon is in contemplation ; it will run from the first turnpike at Smithembottom'from hence, direct to Streatham, and will save a mile and a half. A plan is to be immediately laid before the KING. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 20.—Our newly established Regatta has afforded universal satisfaction. Than Portsmouth, no place can be better adapted for such an exhibition. From the extent of space, the eye commands an uninterrupted view of the vessels, with their manoeuvres; while the lines, and South Sea Common, yield accommodation to myriads of spectators. To the same degree these advantages are not possessed on other parts of the coast. In addition to this, the boldness of our shores enables the boats to skirt the very beach. s u s NAT URA.—Last week a cat belonging to Mr. Trivet Alldick, in King-street, brought forth three .kittens one of which had two bodies, two tails, end eight legs ; and when dis covered appeared to have lived some time after it was kittened. —(Norwich Mercury.) The steward of the Dowager Lady COWPER has informed her Hertfordshire tenantry, that on account of the unfavourable season, low price of stock, &c. her Ladyship has been pleased to older a deduction of 20 per cent. from Michael mas last. The greater part of yesterday was dark and lowering. In the evening it rained incessantly, and about twelve o'clock at night a tremendous storm of thunder and lightning passed over the Metropolis ; and left the air purified and cool. POETRY.

" Mourn, Mime, mourn, thy mighty deeds are past, " Thy glory transient as the Mountain blast; " In solemn match, around Adrastus' lane, - " Ye white-robed Druids pour the sorroWing strain ; " Mourn, Mona, mourn, thy mighty deeds are past, " Thy glory transient as the mountain blast ; " In vain thy bards, with more than mortal fire, " Snatch'd, in wild transport, the ecstatic lyre, " And swept the troubled strings with hurried hand, " While ruin scowl'd on their devoted land, " Or rang'd beneath the central oak, in vain " They hymn'd, 'midst mystic rites, their awful strain ; " 'While round the altar, stain'd with human gore, . " Rous'd at the sounds divine the sacred sisters pour ; " Then rudely yelling with terrific cries, " And frantic fury flashing from their eyes " Itusled on the daring foe with bosoms bare, " Shaking their dreadful fire-brands high in air. " Then louder bray'd the horrid trump of war, " Hoarse o'er the midnight wave re-echoing far ; " Startling with awful sound the ear of night, It rous'd die warrior chieftain to the fight. " 'Tis past—amid the still grove's hallooed gloom " No sound is heard, 'tis silent as the tomb ; • " All, all, is lost, and Freedom is no more— " See Rome's proud banners wave on Britain's shore. " What though its Monarch grasp'd the patriot sword, " Onward, resistless, the fierce legions pour'd ; " Torn from the dark grove's violated shade, " Robb'd of Ms crown, deserted, and betray'd ; " To deck the Victor's triumph is his doom ; ." And feast the pride, the insolence of Rome." Bright was the morn ; the clarion's brazen sound, The trampling of proud steeds, and all around From gleaming steel the momentary flash, And helmets' waving plumes, the distant clash Of arms, the rattling of the chariot wheels, The frequent shout, , the loud tumultuous peals Of vulgar joy proclaim the pageant nigh ; And hark! again lcud clamours rend the sky ; See too the captive youths, the scythed car, The British targets, the proud spoils of war ; Insult now louder shouts, " They come ! they come !" Thine is the triumph, thine all-conqu'ring Rome ! Now, all is husli'd in genirdus sympathy, As the sad pomp with slow step passes by : For who unmov'd can view the tender scene, A captive Princess, and a fetter'd Queen ? Their looks betray their terror and despair, While unbound o'er their necks hangs down their hair; From their bare bosoms swells the frequent sigh, And silence marks their pride and agony. E'en the rough vet'ran (who in battles past Shook his plum'd helmet to the trumpet's blast), Touch'd by their looks of anguish, seems to feel Unwonted pity o'er his bosom steal ; Slow mid the mournful train, with dauntless mien And lion port, Caractacus is seen ; So firm the captive Monarch mov'd along, He seem'd a victor to the gaping throng Erect his gait, his dark expressive eye Flash'd the bright flame of Patriot Liberty ; No abject tremblings shook that noble form, Strong as the oak that braves the whirlwind's storm. Exalted high on Rome's imperial seat, That blaz'd with gems magnificently great, • The mighty Claudius sat ; with long array, Beneath, the fasces mark'd his sov'reign sway ; The Senators, by flowing vestments known, A rev'rend train, were rang'd beneath the throne. Stern in his chains, with fix'd,'unalter'd mien, . Tile British monarch cy'd the.gorgeous scene ; With conscious worth his cheeks indignant glow, While thus in scorn his feelings bravely flow— Roman, (he cried) whose conqu'ring Eagle soars In glitt'ring pomp, on earth's remotest shores, Roman, behold thy captive, through the fight. - Conquest, that nerv'd this arm, and chill'd met: with affright, Bath now deserted me : I stoop to fate ; • - Beheld me fall'n, forsaken, desolate ; In mind unconquerhl, tho' the chance of war Ilath link'd me captive to thy victor car, Though fetter'd thus, my heart still scorns to yield, As when I met thy legions in the field Have 1 not seen thy proud invading band Pour desolation o'er my native land ; • Seen my poor Country's ruin, and in vain Courted grim death, 'mid heaps of Romans slain ? And - can'st thou wonder that 1 grasp'd the lance, And fearless brav'd thy mailed troops' advance ? Full in the centre of an aged wood At midnight hour, the hoary Druids stood, And while mysterious harpings swell'd around, And Nature paus'd at the slow, solemn sound, Belinus' sword they girded on my thigh, And bade me conquer in the fight or die.— I fought, was vanquisli'd ; well thy warriors know Bow like a mountain torrent on the foe We rush'd to death or conquest ; with what speed Swifter than lightning flew th' impatient steed ; • Yes, on that day, elate in youthful pride ' 'Mid heaps of slaughter'd foes a Hero died, Britain's best hope—it was my boy who bled, And heaphi fresh honours on his father's head ! Yes, he died nobly, and stall 1 repine? Ah ! would to Heav'n his destiny were mine ! Peaceful he rests, where ins forefathers sleep, Beneath the lonely monumental heap, 'Where the grey circle of gigantic stones To distant ages shall protect his bones. Nor fell he unreveng'd ; thy bravest bled, And sunk in death's broad lap, ere Britons fled. For liberty they fought ;,at thy command Must abject terror shake each hostile band ? Must then whole nations grov'ling low with fear Drop at thy dread approach the warlike spear; Cease the grand struggle, close the glorious strife, And basely barter liberty for life ? Had it been thus, had this degen'rate arm Shrunk from the combat nerveless with alarm, Had I bent low beneath thy monarch form, And bow'd obsequious to the f.;ath'ring storm ; Then had I been thy friend—ignoble thought— Yes, thank the Gods, Caractacus has fought. Else where had been the glory, where the fame That gives to latest days the warrior's name ? If Britain's king had ceas'd to be thy foe, Then had no laurels deck'd thy Victor brow. No British spoils had told, no captive car Had mark'd the issue of a nine years' war. E'en now oblivion's form shall sweep away The pomp, the honours of this glorious day ; And, hurried tioWa by time's relentless stream Thy grandeur vanish like the morning dream ; If mercy stretch not forth her arm to save, And bear her brightest wreath above the grave. She best adorns and dignifies mankind, Her's is the noblest triumph of the mind, Mercy for ever lives ; recording fame Shall spread from age to age thy lionour'd name, M'hen Britain's Monarch once, opposed to thee In glorious contest—at thy voice was free. 13IPROAIPTU uro v Arlir.
