ARMY CLOTHING.

The following circular and warrant have just been
issued by the Secretary-at-War :
(Circular, No. 1,162.)
I have the honour to encloseWtoari°ournac°rPoyjalnew6;rranlatre-
gulating the future position of colonels of regiment, in Tn•
Bard to the clothing of their regiments, and the emolu-
ments which they are to receive, and extending to the
rest of the army the system in nee in the Household
Cavalry, by which the colonels clothing these regiment.
receive a fixed annual payment in lieu of varying profits
derived from the off-reckonings.
In adopting this mode of payment, which is in accordance
with the principle which ought to regulate the iuue of all
public money, and will put an end to much misrepresenta-
tion to which the colonels of regiments have been unjustly
exposed, I am anxious that the change should be so effected
as not to injure the interests of the officers who will be
affected by it.
In cases, therefore, in which the colonels of regiments,
having but lately issued accoutrements to their regiments,
have either had very t echoed profits, or have been exposed
to a loss for which they have not been compensated by
higher profits in previous years, or for which they would
have been reimbursed by a surplus in subsequent years, I
shall be prepared, upon a statement of accounts of past
years, since the colonel has had the regiment, being for-
warded to me, to make compensation for such loss, &mim-
ing the rates of profit to be, on an average, those laid down
in the enclosed warrant.—l have, ko.,

Victoria R.—Whereas it has been found expedient
to alter and revise the warrant and regulations re-
garding the supply of clothing, accoutrements, and
appointments to our army, so that the colonels of
the respective regiments shall in future receive a
fixed annual allowance in lieu of deriving any poen-
niary emoluments, as heretofore, from the off-recken-
ings, we are, therefore, pleased to direct, that, in future,
the following allowances shall be made to the colonels of
the respective corps, in lieu of off-reckonings, vie. :

Grenadier Guards £l,OOO per annum.
