Of FICIA I, CI RCUI,Mt. TREASURY CHAMBEIZA, JANUARY 8. 1822. My Lords advert to their Minutes of the 10th August last, respecting the revision of the esta blishment of the several Public Offices, and also ih regard t the formation of a Superannuation .I.:und, by a per centage deduction to be made from the salaries of certain public officers. Their Lordships having before them the returns made iu pursuance of the said •Nlinutes, will hereafter communicate their determination or opinion thereon to each office, so far as the establish- OlPnt of such office may be concerned. But seve ral rules of general application having arisen out of a review of the Minutes referred to, and upon a consideration of the several returns, my Lords are phased to direct a copy of the follow;ng ?odes and Regulations to be transmitted to the several Public Offices, for their information and gaidatice so far as they may be respectively can t ernect Ist. The increase of salary for length of service according tb. the existing scales having been suspended by their Lordships' Is-linute of the April last, they are now pleased to direct that all the • intli7iduals who, according to those scales, tteame entitled to increased salary far length of service pre viously to the termination of the Chri3tmas quarter of 132 L should he permitted to receive such increase from the period from which, under the former establishment of the office, they !we:tale entitled thereto, and that from the commencement of the year 132 the new est.o.ltsnment should tat. Flare. 11,,t every p ers pr. will retain the salary to which he may have been entitled at the termination of the year 1821, until he may under the new establishment become entitled to a larger salary. 2.41. That those persons who are in the progress of a period at the close of whi:th they would, under the former establish ment, be entitled to increase of allowance for length of service, Shall not lose the benefit of that part of thq period which has actually expired ; but at the expiration of the period which would have entitled them according to the former establish ' inert to increased salary, they shall receive in addition to their preont salary and allowances such proportion of the increase of salary as will correspond with that part of the period which bad expired up to the end of the Christmas quarter of 1321. 3d. That the application of any new scale for the payment of salaiies in any office according to classes, shall in no case give to any person while he remains in tb;,. class to which he now bOongs„ any increase of salary at an earlier period than he would have obtained it according to the scale which existed immediately previous to the termination of the Christmas quar ter of 1621. 4th. That if by any new classification or arrangement of clerks, or if by any succession to vacancies within a period of three years from the commencement of 1822, any clerk shall he placed in a class above that in which is now serving, and to which he would not have attained but for the new classifica tion of the office, or for the vacancies occasioned by the reduc tions now made, and if the minimum salary of the class to which such clerk may be promoted should exceed the salary of which he may at the time of the promotion be in the actual uceipt, such clerk shall not at once be entitled to the minimum rate of salary of the class to which he may be advanced, but shall receive an annual increase to the amount of his present salary, equal to the annual increase applicable to the class to which he is advanced until the termination of three years from the - time of his promotion, when he shall be placed upon the minimum salary of the class, , unless he shall have attrdned a higher salary by the progrssive annual increases, and from henceforth he shall receive the annual increase of salary appli 'agile to the class to which he may be promoted until he reaches its. maximum. sth. That upon vacancies occurring in any of the superior Ana in any office, the siwations shall not be supplied by seniority only ; but the fittest individual shall be selected to succeed by the heads of the department in which the vacancy :nay, occur. Och. In the cases in which clerks upon the establishment of say of ice are discontinued in consequence of the present re ditctions, their Lordships would be disposed to grant to them following allowances : If they have served less than three years, a gratuity of one yomr's psy. if three years and under five, a gratuity of two years' pay. If they have served five years, and under ten years, an an. nusl allowance not exceeding one-third of their salaries, until. otherwise provided for in the public - service. If ten years and under twenty years, an allowance not exceed lag one-half of their salaries. if twenty years and upwards, an allowance not exceeding, that to which they would be entitled under the proposed new scale for superannuation ; and if any of the clerks have previ cecly-to their appOintment upon the establishment of any office secs d a 3 extra clerks therein, and shall have been not less than three years upon the establishment, they shall, in computing the allowances to which they may be entitled, have the benefit of suels period of service. Their Lordships, however, desire . that the cases of all those persons who may be entitled to such gratuities or allowances may be specially reported 'to them, in order that they may sanction the payments in conformity to the Act 50 George 111. c. 117. 7th. That in lieu of the respective deductions of 151. 10?.. lid. and 5 per cent. directed by the Minute of this Board of the August last, to be made towards the formation of a Su. porsnnuarian Fund from the salaries of all persons holding of faccs which would give them claims to besuperannuated under ti:e Act of the t';Wi George 111. c. 117, the following deduc tion alsall be made from the commencement of the year 1822, Ly the person paying the salaries, from all salaries amounting to 1001. per annum and upwards. . .

Parliamentary warfare is certainly not one of those things which " they manage better in France " than on this side of the Channel ; witness the deb:•te we published yesterday, on the petition of a :- , .rta;ri Sittiir Spy, -f ()Mt:ons sur Marne. This application seems to have been a contrivance of the French Ministry for prema turely drawing off a portion (if the electric mat ter collected, and ready to explode upon the next discussion of the projet respecting offences of the press. There was more boldness than finesse in the manmuvre, but it so far attained its object, that the Deputies launched headlong into one of those tempestuous debates, or rather squabbles, which are not to be paralleled in any country but France, by the proceedings of any 'assembly laying claim to the title of deliberative. The Sieur SPY'S request, a modest one, it must be owned, for a private Gentleman, was, that henceforth offences of the Press should be tried by Judges, and cease to be submitted to a Jury, lie was led to express this desire by observing a perpetual contradiction between the conclusi9m_ ')f t'.%t vublic Min stry the opini on o f ehe J who, it; ids judgment/ .furors, had proved them- I selves unfit for trying the offences in question. The Member who brought up this petition also proposed that it should be referred to the Com blittee already engaged in considering the same s' , liject. As might be expected, several Mem ', I's rose, and several voices were heard, and the discussion opened with " confusion and p g :td cot.. We AO not now enter v poa the question raised by M. Spy's reation, for indeed the De puties themselves very speedily took leave Of it, and fell into a controversy, perhaps more inte resting to the parties engaged, but a little shock ing to our English notions of senatorial dignity. M. Dr. CHAuvrLis having thrown out a reflection on the manner in which the Moniteur had nq ticed another Journal, called the Conseruateur - ; " You," interrupted M. de SALLABERY, " would prefer seeing the authors of the Minerve in place." Upon this, M. tie CASTELBAJAC presently arose on behalf of the Conservateztr, and M. BENJAMIN CONSTANT as the champion of the illinerve, and the war of newspapers, just as we are accustom ed to see it carried on between the Chronicle and the Courier, the Old and New Times, and others of our contemporaries, was waged between two rival Journalists from the tribune of the French Chamber, while the Representatives apparently did not think their time mis-spent, or their Im portance compromised, by listening - to such a dispute. The mention of the Charter kindles a new flame.—" All our powers, and all powers .in France," says M. BENJAMIN CONSTANT, " ema nate from the Charter."—(Confusion of voices on the right)—" You reckon legitimacy as nothing —you acknowledge no sovereignty but that of the people." M. de CoRcELLEs.—" Every thing emanates from the Charter." M.M. BENOIST, JOSSE BE:At:N*OIR, and other voices on the right.—" it ‘vai the King who gave us the Charter." M. BENJAMIN CONSTANT. - Beyond the Charter all powers are illegitimate."—( Violent agitation on the right.) M. de Co cELLEs.--." Do not speak of the Char ter before these gentlemen : it frightens them." M. CONSTANT proceeds.—Murmurs, bravos, laughter, enliven the subject ; a Member rises and addresses the Deputies near him ; the Pre sident interferes, is accused of partiality, and ad monished to,do his duty. A Deputy wishes to speak, but is not indulged. M. CONSTANT at length winds up his oration, and is followed by M. de IVlA.acciuus. Then arises M. de lAA.. METH, and with all the authoritative gravity be longing to a patriarch of the Revolution, pro poses a lecture on legitimacy. 44 I wish," he says, " to explain myself clearly on. the subject of legitimacy. In the first place, that the word may be well understood, it is necessary to con sult its origin. Legitimate is derived from leaf intimus—that is to say, inherent to the law. Le gitimacy is, therefore, an emanation from the law itself. Thus a child, whose birth is legitimate, is one whose filiation is acknowledged by the law. In old times, which arc so much extolled. c_c . c. In short, M. d, cribes legitimacy. as Antony de- .'.ciocti the crocodile to Lypidos— ANT. It is shaped, Sir. like itsAti; and it is as broad hath breadth ; it is just so high as ,t is, and mows with its own organ:: it lives by that which nourisheth it ; anl the cl , :ments once out of it, it transmigrates. L - Ep. What colour is it of ? ANT. Of its own colour too. 'Ti: a strange serpnt. A NT. 'Tis so. And the tears of it are wet. Finally, for the d:nner hour will come, to ar rest the march of eloquence and the excursions of wit ; " the Chamber rejected, by a slight ma jority, the order of the day, and referred the pe tition of the Sieur SPY to the Committee on the Fross." We do not think the success of AI. Spy's me morial tear rants any anticipation of the destiny which may attend the Projet itself ; but it may be pretty confidently predicted, after a perusal of this and similar discussions in the Chamber of Deputies, that, whatever may be their ultimate decision, no important light will be thrown upon the general principles of law and government, nor any great political or philosophical truth be promulgated in the previous debates. One fatal censequence would result from a.th abolition of the Censorship ; that France will lose by that event one of her choicest school's of politeness. We doubt, at least, whether any Public Office, even in that refined country, could send forth a billet so fascinating, so courtly...so calculated to uh,st let OCiOUS journalist, as t!i,"e followL!7g riGfice from the Commission of Icensor,hip, produced and read in the course of Friday's debate : " The Commission haS the honour to request MM. the Edi tors of the Journals not to submit to it any article of discussion on the law projet relative to the police of the journals." Private Le tters from Madrid of the 31st De cember state, that the Council of State, held there on the previous rlar, hdd excited much interest and curiosity. The KING, contrary to his usual practice, presided at it, and entered the Council-room when there were only four Coun sellors present, but shortly afterwards the other Members arrived. The KING opened the Sit ting by stating the urgent necessity of adopting vigorous measures. CASTANOS, BLAKE, and Ro m txtr.tos were of opinion that the Ministry ought not to be dismissed ; that if the KING sub- Mitted to the wish expressed by the Cortes and the People, his MAJESTY would only be the in strument of a faction ; and that the Cortes had made common cause with the descamis-ados.— Senors Clac.ta and CARVAGAL were of a con trary opinion ; and the former boldly declared, that, if the KING would consent to the desires of the nation, all would end as if by enchantment, and that the continuance of the present disorders was attributable to his MAJESTY. The KING thanked these two Counsellors for their sincerity, and the Council broke up at five o'clock in the afternoon, without coming to any decision. Another letter from Madrid, dated the Ist of January, states, that the I(ING received the feli citations of the Civil and Military Authorities, and the permanent Deputation of the Cortes, on occasion of the new year. The Queen and In fants also received the congratulations of the same public bodies. Fresh Addresses against the Ministry have been transmitted by the Muni cipalities of Lorca, Alegares, and many other towns. The North of Spain appears to be di vided into parties, and to threaten the evils of a protracted civil war. Boston Papers arrived this morning to the 23d December last. [From the Paper of the 22d December.] Caraccas Papers to the 22d November have been received in Baltimore. The Columbian cruizers continue to be successful in capturing Spanish property. The Congress of Columbia have passed votes of thanks for the aid their cause has received from Lord HOLLkND, the Abbe tie PRADT, Mr. CLAY, Colonel DUANE, and General Sir ROBERT WILSON : they have also passed a new tariff of duties. General DE VLREU had challenged the Vice-President!NA amt, and had been tried and honourably acquit ted ; NARINA had since been dismissed. 1 7 8.01 THE BRAZILS.---BAIIIA, OCT. 24.—We have received from Pernambuco the following narration, which shews that the moderation and prudence of the temporary Constitutional Go vernment has prevailed over the armed forces, which relied only on cannon and bulwarks, and mistook forbearance for timidity:— " The Temporary Constitutional Government makes known that the people of Pao do Alho, Lemoeiro, and Guyana installed this Govern ment and vowed allegiance to it, in which they were joined by most of the people of the Pro, -'. c anu interest to the rest of the Province' An obstinate opposition has been experienced 0 0 th 3 part of the General of Pernambuco, who was flfluenced to ensanguine the pacific measureg proposed by this Government for the election of a Provisional junta. In order to prevent the effusion of blood and the ruin of the greater par t of the Province, the Deputies, after much delibe' ration, submitted to the Council of Recife cer tain propftiy trip since been reduce d to a Convention,- • strLcts ' Hoping for the orders of his Majesty and the Cortez for the installation of a Provisional Junta to govern the whole pfo' v. rice, it is agreed that the Council of Recife i!i;i1 1 . • .nile to govern the village of San Antonio de Recife, and the city ° I Olinda.

REDUCTION OF SALARIES.-An official circular' dated January 8, has been issued from the T re e sury, containing a digested arran ge ment QC e " rules which are to be general ly appli2d,in the Tr e. sury and other public offices, for the reducti on (1 salaries, and for the regulation of superannuatia.o and other allowances. The new es tablishro cltt will be formed on the principl e s and spirit o f th s e Treasury Minutes of August 10,1821, though/4 our Readers will observe, there is some differe r ) e in the details. The precise number of Cleri=it° be retained in each Office is not vet deterniiii t e upon ; but as their Lordships have before t ' ll the returns. r made from the various offices suance of their Minutes of the 10th Aue" " they will hereafter communicate_ their d e termination or opinion thereon to each otgc: so far as the establishment of s uch ° 16 10.g may be concerned."—We regret to find t ' o , this penurious measure is; persevered d dtiv e vinced, as we are, that it must be pro li , of very great inconvenience, arr.l of no sul° 111)° tion of distress, to many deserving $: r I .le , that it cannot afford any present or sensible r' eil t / to the country, though it may, to a trifling ' t improve the financial situation of the G ove hi t ment.
