. N. B. All Exelierrer Bills dated prior to December,
bare been-advertised to be paid oil, and the. Interest thereon
ce;thcAl.

The Fleet willsee, by the Scale hereunto subjoined, that the
ancient practice of Smart Money is continued, and that the
PenSio.us hitherto-granted from the -Chest are also continued
with some variations, beneficial to the general interests of the
Seamen and Marines:-that the Pensions heretofore granted
from Greenwich Hospital to worn-out and disabled Seamen
upon uncertain principles, are now reduced to „fixed and
more equitable system, in which the nature of the injuries re-
ceived; and the meritorious services of the different classes of
men respectiFely, have been carefully considered. and ade-
rjuatelpfe6..unpoiled :=that a new and most important bene-
fit has been extended to the Service ; namely, that every man
who may be discharged aftei.. Fourteen Xears fa;thful service;
even thOwir he should not be disabled, has a right to claim a
Pension, liberally proportioned tn.the number of years he may
have served,—and !hat after Twenty-one Years *Service;
every man, in addition to a Pension of at least One Shilling
per, diem, may demand his free discharge from the Navy.

Tim Fleet will also observe the great reward and cm:on:-
ragement which the Scale affords to those valuable classes of
men the Petty and Non-Conunissioned Officers, between
whom audyersons of inferior, ratings no dilference had been.
hitherto made, but who will now receive a reward propor-
tioned to the length and the merit of their respective ser-
vices. •

In communicating ttn3 measure to the Fleet, the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty cannot but express their con-,
victim] that it will be attended with the most benficial effects,
as we to, the public service as to the indii ideal interests of
tbe.:-PeOy' amt Non-commissimied Officers, the Ncamen and
'Royal Marines;--the dOration of whose services and the
amount of wh ,se rewards, he nu longer uncertain and
variable.;—every man will know to What benefit he ma): he
entitled, and he will feel that flatting but misconduct on
,his
own Burt can deprive him of an honuuriible provision fur his
future
