ADMIRALTY•OFFICE, December 22, 1814.

. _
IS Royal' Highness the PRINCE REGENT
-6.-41- has been graciously pleased, in the name and on the
behaff of his ,Majesty, and in pursuance of the power,
rested in his Majesty, by an rket' pasSed in 'the pr?r,ent Ses-
sion of Parlbiu►e.nt,, to issue an Order in Council fur improv-
ing the system by which PENSIONS from the CHEST and
ROYAL HOSPITAL at GREENWICH have hitherto been
granted on account of Wounds, Hurts, Sickness, or Debility,
and for extending to, the Petty and Non-Commissioned Of-
ficers and Met, even though not disabled, the benefit of Peu-
sions adequate to-theirlength of services and to the rank they
may have borne in his Alajesty's Navy.

The Fleet wdlsee, by the Scale hereunto subjoined, that the
ancient practice of 'Smart Money is continued, and that the
Pensions hitherto granted from the Chest are also continued
with some variations, beneficial to the t.Teneral interests of the
Seamen and Marines :—that the Pensions heretofore granted
from Greenwich Hospital to worn-out and disabled Seamen
Upon nricertain principles, are now reduced to a fixed and
more equitable system, in which the nature of the injuries re-
cetved, and the meritorious services of the different classes of
.men respectively; hare been carefully considered and ade-
quately recompaised :—that a new and most important bene-
fit hat been eNtertded to the Service ; namely, that every man
who may be ai.s.hargea after Fourteen Years faithful service,
even though he Shonla not be disabled, has a right to claim a
Pension, liberally'proportionea to the number of years he may
Lave served,—add that after Twenty-one Years Service,
every man, in Inidition to a. Pension of at least One Shilling
per diem, may &Mafia his free discharge from the Navy.
The Fleet will also observe the great reward and encoit-
ragement which the Scale affords to those valuable classes of
men the Petty ',dud Noo.Conunissionea Officers, between
yawn) and Pere nit of inferior ratings no difference hadlfeen
hitherto 4.alb , :tint who will now receive a reward propor-
tioned to the length and the merit of their respeetire ser-

vices. •
Iu communicating this measure to the Fleet, the Lards.
Cominissioners if the Admiralty cannot but express their cow
viction that it will be attended with the most benficial effects,
as well to the public service as to the individual interests o
the Petty and Non-commissioned Officers, the Seamen and
Royal Marines ;-..,,,the duration of whose services and the
amount of whoaelkward3, wilt be nu- longer uncertain and
variable will know to what benefit he may be,
entitled, and he4yill feel that nothing but misconduct on his
oi,vn part can diprive him of an honourable provisiOn for his
future life.
