" Enquiries and applications having been addressed to the
Colonial Department, respecting emigration to his Alajesty's
foreign possessions, it has been deemed convenient, with a view
to the information and guidance of individuals interested in this
subject, to state, that—

" lstly. Persons arc not provided with passages, at the public
expence, to any of his Majesty's setlements.
2ndly. Persons proceeding at their own expence to North
America, and to the Cape of Good Lope, and desirous of settling
there, require no previous authority front his Majesty's Secretary
of State to enable them to obtain grunts of land, the Governors
of ills-se settlements being fully empowered to a.ss;gn lands to
applicants, proportioned to the mean; which they actually possess
for bringing them into a state of cultivation. The extent of
those grants must depend upon their quality, position, and other

which can only be asoirtained in the Colony.

" Silly. Persons desirous of settling in New Swath %Vales or
Vun Diemen's Land, mast be proviled with the sanction of his
Majesty's Secretary of State; and dis ran only be obtained upon
written application, accompanied b/ references to two or more
respectable persons, as to the character of the applicant, and the
extent of his capital, which must amount to Five Hundred
rounds, at the lest.

TREASURY MIAUTE.

The following official circular, dated January 8, con
tinning a digested arrangement of the rules which arc to
be generally applied, in the '1 reastiry and other public
offices. for /h. reduction of salaries, and fur the regula-
thou of superannuation and other allowances, has been
issued from the Tteasury. The new establishments will
be formed on the principles and spirit of the Treasury
Minutes of August, 18!.. I, though with some difference
in the details. Tne precise number of clerks to be re-
tained in each office is not yet determined upon ; but as
their Lordships have before thrill the remnrth made from
:he varous offices 111 pursuance of their M. s ul. the
10.1 i August, " trey will hereafter communicate their
determination or opinion thereon to each office, an far as
the estab!ishment of such office may be concerned."
l'he Treasury Minute states--
That upon vacancies occurring in any of the superior
classes in any office, the situations shall not be supplied
by seniority only, but the fittest individual shall be se-
lected to succeed by the heads of the department in which
the vacancy may occur.
6th. In she cases in which clerks upon the establish-
ment of any office are discontinued in consequence of the
present reductions, their Lordships would be disposed to
grant to them the following allowances:—
If they have served less than three years, a gratuity of
one year's pay.
If three years and tinder fire, a gratuity of two years'
pay.
If they have served five years, and under ten year; an
.10111411 allots:ince not t so-et:ding one third of their sala-
ries, until otherwne provided for in the public service.
If tell years and tinder twenty years, all allowance not
exceeding one half of their saiaries.
11 20 yews and upwards, an allowance not exceeding
that to which they would be entitled tinder the proposed
scale of soperainitiation ; and it any of the clerks It eve,
previously to their appointment upon the establishment.
of any office, served as 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 such period of ser-
vice. Their Lordships, however, desite that the Cases of
all those persons who may be einitled to such gratuities
or ailowan .es may be specially reported to them, in order
that they may sanction the paymenu in continunty to
the Act 50 Geo. 111. c. 117.
7th. That in lieu of the respective deductions of 151.
10s. nil and 5 pet cent. 'directed by the Minute of this
Board of the soils Aii4wo Itsr, to be made towards the
formation of a Stsperamin Moo Final, irons the salaries
of all remota holding offices, which would give them
claims to be superannuated under the Act ot the both
Gem 111. c. 117, the fo.lost log deducuol shall he made,
Irian the commencement ol the year Ism by the person
pa)ing the salaries, from all salaries amounting to 1001.
pa annum and upwards.
From so ouch of the salary of every individual as he
would be entitled t", awarding to any new scale about ,

be sanctioned by authority of Parliament, or other-
wise, a deduction of 5 per cent. and a further deduction
of 40 per cent. from the excess only (if any) of salary,of
which he may be in the receipt, beyond the salary to
which he:would be entitled according to such new scale
or regulation.
That a deduction of 21 per cent. be made from J,ll
persons holding utlices entitled to superannuation muter
the Act So Geo. 111. C. 117, the salaries of which shall
exceed MA and he less than 104 per Annum.
Bth. In the event of any person at present upon the
establishment of any (Alice, from whom a deduction may
be made tow irds the formation of a Superannuation
Fund dying in office, and consequently witl having
had any superannuation allowance granted to hint, bite
representative of the person so dying shall be entitled to
reeene the total amount of the several deductions made
nom his salary, but Winona interest. It is net tin ruled
that this regulation should apply to any person who sn..y
be hereafter appoimed to the public service.

By the Prince Regent packet from the Leeward
Islands, letters dated the '2 Ist of December were
received on Friday last from St. Thomas's. On the
Spanish Main nothing of any moment had occurred,
nor had there been any interruption of tranquillity
in those places occupied by the Independents. It
has been mentioned in the American papers, that a
Spanish squadron blockaded the ports of the Main
along the whole range cf cost ; but it appears it
that is really the case, to be extremely deficient in
vigilance, as traders were in the habit of' passing
from St. Thomas's to Lagnayra, and other places
within that limit, without the least molestation, and
the merchants of the island do not seem even to be
aware of the,tlockude. We learn by letters from St.
Domingo, received at St. Thomas's, that the Spanish
part of that island is making effiarts for its indepen.
dence, which had every prospect of being successful.
The Independents, it is said, have become masters
of the city of St. Domingo, the capital of the iriand :
and the surrounding country has unittal with them
in asserting their freedom. We are tuirther in-
formed, by letters of the lfith of November from
Port-au-Prince, also received by the Leeward Islands'
mail, that a similar spirit had manifested itself at
Monte Christo, where the Patriots had gained the
ascendancy. Many fugitives from Monte Chris.o,
attached to the Royalist cause, had arrived at Bin-
an-Prince, where they were permitted to land by
President Boyer, and treated with kindness and
hospitality. Some letters assert that the President,
encouraged by the disunion that reigns in the Spa-
nish possessions, is collecting troops with the view
of conquering and annexing them to his own terri-
tories : but this does not rest on very good thunda-
tion. Much complaint is made in the mercantile
letters from St. Thomas's, of a singular piece of
negligence either on the part of the master of tile
Prince Regent packet, or the agents of the Post-
office, by which the merchants of that island have
been prevented receiving their English letters.—
Whether the bag for St. Thomas's was left behind
at Falmouth or at Barbadoes, is not clearly ascet-
tallied; but it is certain that the packet arrived at
the former island without it. We need not advert
to the obvious inconvenience this would occasion
to merchants, especially those who were expecting
remittances ; but we trust this culpable neglicence
will be noticed as it should be in the proper quarter.

On Thursday his Majesty arrived at Carlton.
house from Brighton, at twenty minutes beil.)re one
o'clock. His Majesty soon after held a Council,
which was attended by Lord Liverpool, the Mar-
quis of Londonderry, the Duke of Wellington, &c.
Lord Sidmouth resigned his seals of office to the
King, as Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment, and is to be succeeded by the Right Hon. R.
Peel ; who kissed his Majesty's hand. Mr. Charles
W. Wynn, was sworn a Member of the Privy
Council, and also kissed hands, on being appointed
President of the Board of Controul. His Majesty
appeared in good health, and after the Council, gave
audience to the Marquis of Londonderry. Judging
from the state of the country, and the important
procaedings at the late county meetings, it is very
likely that there will be a total change in the ad-
ministration, and that these gentlemen will not
long endure the fatigues of
A CONLINDRUM.-At u party of juvenile fahliion-
ables, a conundrum was given, in the following
terms:—Tell me what will increase, what will de-
crease, and what will metamorphose? The whole
party were wrapt in astonishment ; each made a
a vain attempt to unravel the mystery. A your.g
mily, at last said, I will explain. Rowland's Ma-
cassar Oil will increase the hair; his Extract of
Alsana will decrease the pain of the tooth-ache ; and
his Essence of Tyre will change the colour of any
person's hair.

A commercial letter of the 26th ultimo, from
Trieste, states, that news had arrived there, by a
vessel from Smyrna, of an embargo baring been
laid by the Turks on all Greek property. There
was, however, according to the report, no want of
ships, of difkrent European flags, in the Archipe-
lago, for the protection of their commerce.
