CIRCULAR LETTER.

HORSE GUARDS, OCT. 24, 1804.

Ilis Majesty's regulations in regard to the sums to be given
and received for commissions in the army, having, lit various
instances, been disregarded, to the great prejudice of His
Majesty's service; His Royal Highness, the Commander-in-
Chief, is pleased to direft, that when an Officer is desirous
of retiring from the service, and of having leave to sell his COT-
If his regiment I. in Great Britain, he is to send his re-
signation in the usual manner, through the Commanding Olicer
of his Regiment, to his Colonel; who, in transmitting the same
to the Conimandevin.Chief, may, at the same time, if there
are purehasevs in the corps, recommend in succession, the se.
vier of their reweective ranks fur purchase, both the Colonel
and Commanding Officers certifying that they are satisfied that
no more than the sum stipulated by His Majesty'. regulation
is given or received.

Should these be no purchaser In the Regiment, the resigna-
tion of the Officer desirous to retire is alone to be traismitted
in the manner and form above-mentioned ; when, should the
application be deemed proper to be granted, 111. Royal High-
ness will reromniend to Hi Majesty such Officer for the pur-
chase, as to Royal Highness may appear most eligible.
Officers belonging to regiments stationed in Ire'aild, must
make their applications in a similar course to the Commander
of the force. there ; and, on Foreign Station., through the
Commanding Officer, to the General Officer wider whose com-
mand they are; their applications being uniformly ,auctioned
by their respective Commanding Officers, who are to aril's',
in the same manner as Colonels of Regiments at home, that
they are satisfied in regard to the sums given, or to be received,
being in strict conformity to His Majesty's regulation..
Colonels, when absent from Great Britain and Ireland, may
empower the Officer in alual command of their regiments, or
their regimental ag-nts, to recommend purchase,. far vacant
commissions in whis.h case the necessary eertiniates, in regard
to the sum to be paid in regimental same...ion, mug be .igited
by them in the Colon F. absence, as well a. the rerumn,...irb
tion for the purcha-ar ; and the person se recommending to
Cooneteies or Ensigocies, vacant by purchase, will be held
responsible for the eligeiility of the person recommended.

The Commander in Chief is further plea.-4 to direct, that
when an Officer is dosirous of retiring to Halt-pay, receivi,g
the difference, the same rules are to be observed in regard to
transmitting his application; but no recommend rtion in suc-
cession it to accompany the request to retire; as Ha Royal
Highness will himself nominate the Officer to be proposed to
lis Maje,ty for the exchange.
To enable the Commander in Chief to recommend Officers
for purchase, it is necessary that regular returns of all Officers
prepared to purchase promotion should be transmitted from
each Regiment and Corp in the entice to the Commander
in Chief's Office, Hirst Guards, Loudon, on the 25th of
March, the 2'th of Jone, the 25th of Sentenib.rr, and the
25th of December in each year, under cover, to His Royal
Highness's Military Secretary; and these returns must partici:-

After these Orders have been circulated, rn attention will
be NH to representations of Officers who have neglected to
return themselves prepared to pinchasl, as, whatever hard-
ships they may nuffer is that case must be entirely owing to
their own neglect.

In causing these orders to be circulated to the army. the
Crenetander-iu•Chief thinks proper to declare, that any °lnver
who shall be found to have given, directly or indirectly, any
thing beyond the regulated price in d sobedience to His Ma-
jesty'• orders, or to have attempted to evade the regulation in
ally manner whatever, wit be reported by the Commander-in-
Chief to His Majesty, in order that he mad• he removed from
the service; and it se al,o to be under‘tood that the prescribed
terms ef appheattitis for the sale and pivellase of r omm.,3ons,
and the usual certiticates aunezed thereto, .ae in .0 instances
to be complied with.

We understand that a very ingenious Engineer
has given in to His Royal Highness the Duke of
Yoga a curious plan of Ambidexter mansuvres
with two muskets on a particular construAion.
They are made extremely light, and carry the balls
to a grunter distance. with less prnporiou of powder,
than those in common use. Two are used at a
time, and may he loaded and fired off together, or
in succession, in less time than a soldier can load
and fire a single musket. This is truly the age of
experiments. Boi.araerz's Legions will have
reason em long to dread the Eng:ish as an infernal
race for destructive inventions. It is indeed a para.
doxical truth, that all discoveries and improvements
in machines for the destntdion of the human race,
ultimately tend to spare them.
An Evening Paper of yesterday says, " It is re.

hastened by intelligence from Paris, of a very press.

countermanded." Rom araar it left Mentz upon the
