Care is, however; to. be taken to retain with each Regiment at least one.half Of the Subaltern Officers ; but in cities where this may be done without injury to the Service, Officer will be - considered sufficient 'to remain with Regiments where the number of Field Qfficers is smaller. The same indulgence is to be extended to the. regular Trodps, but Lieutenant-Getieral,HuLsE is left to his own discretion to grant, leave of ab sence, observing only this regulation, that not more than one-third of the Officers shall be absent at the same tithe.
