nerals who never was a soldier, farther than raising a regi-
ment, and wearing an uniform, but who made money by
his regiment, and since has regularly received pay as a
General, when receiving large civil salaried as a favourite
about the Court. There were several others, but happily
they have died off, and the country is no longer charged
with them. We have not particularized those officers who
hold situations itnmediately about the Royal Person, as we
consider that they are really the trappings of Royalty with
which we are not authorized to touch, but whose salaries
might be reduced in proportion with every one who holds
an appointment from the Throne, or in the judicial offices.
We have also taken no notice of the Duke of Wellington
and Sir George Murray, but we think, while they held
high civil situations, they ought not to have drawn their
pay and allowances as military men. But they have been
dismissed from office, and " peace go with them."
We must now particularly point out some of those places
which we consider as extraordinary and much over paid,
and as holding situations incompatible with each other,
and therefore as useless to the public.
