E ARMY.

We have been requested by some of our mili-
tary correspondents to insert the new regulations
for the dress of General, Staff, and Regimental
Officers, according to General Orders of 25th
April last, and which are just published. In
compliance with this request, we insert the Ge-
neral Order, and that portion of the New Re-
gulations, which relates to the dress of General
Officers, and we propose to insert the rest as op-
portunity offers.

GENERAL ORDERS.—Horse-Guards, April 25,1822.—
The King having been pleased to approve of the Uniforms of
the Officers of the Army being permanently fixed according to
the following description (the patterns of which are lodged in
the Office of the Board of General Officers in Spring Gardens),
the Commander-in-Chief has received his Majesty's commands
to enjoin a strict attention thereto throughout the Service ; and
his Royal Highness accordingly holds all General Officers,
Colonels of Regiments, and Commanding Officers of Corps,
responsible, that these Orders for regulating the Dress in all its
particulars, shall be punctually obeyed.
In order, however, to protect Officers from incurring any im-
mediate expence, while they may not be in want of new Ap-
pointments, the. Commander-m-Chief leaves them the option
of postponing the adoption of any change specified in this book
until the expiration of the following periods, viz. :
Six knonths from this date upon the Home Stations:
Twelve months on Foreign Stations, exclusive of India; and
Eighteen months in the East Indies.
It is at the same time to be understood, that all Officers, on
coming into the Service, snail provide themselves according to
the New Patterns. _

Much inconvenience having arisen from the practices of Co-
lonels and Commanding Officers taking upon ,themselves to
alter the ornaments and appointments of Regimental Officers,
the Commander-in-Chief has received his Majesty's commands
to desire that no alterations shall be adopted in future, unless
by special authority through the Adjutant-General ;—and such
Regiments as may have, in this unauthorized manner, adopted
It change, by increasinglhe breadtkand quantity of lace on the
uniform f the Officers within'the last ten years, are hereby desired
to revert to the ,original Regimental of patterns of lace, where
any is worn,. reporting to the Adjutant-General that they have
done so, within the periods above allotted to the respective
Stations. _ _ _ _ .

In circulating this Order, the Commander-in-Chief deems it
essential to draw the attention of the Officers of the Army to
the Order of the Bth July 1820, regarding the necessity of al-
ways appearing in Uniform in Quarters, and which his Royal
Highness observes is still evaded by the practice of appearing
in Blue Great Coats. When Officers wear Great Coats, they
must be according to the Uniform Pattern, and always with
the Sword and Sash over them.
By Command of his Royal Highness the Commander-
in-Chief,
• • HENRY TORRENS, Adjutant-General.
