GENERAL ORDER.

HORSt-GUARDS, Ayrii 3, 1819.

It hasbeen represented to his !loyal highness the Prince Re-
gent, that Lieutenant Thomas llasker, and Ensign Edward.
Ring, who have recently been placed upon the half-pay from
•
the 55th Regiment, have grossly insulted and challenged Lieut.-
Colonel Frederick, commanding that regiment, upon the grounds
of his conduct towards them in his capacity of Commanding-
officer, while they were on full pay under his orders.
As it would be highly injurious' to the discipline of the ser-
•vice, to permit the notion to pass with impunity, that when an
officer is placed upon half-pay, he shall feel at liberty fO set
aside all the restraints of decorum and subordination, by in-
dulging feelings of personal resentment towards his former
Commanding-officer, his Royal Highness the Prince -Regent,
in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, has been 'pleased
to command, that his displeasure upon this flagrant act of
misconduct shall be. marked by erasing the names of Lieu-
tenant Thomas Hasker and Ensign Edward 'Ring fretn the list
of the army.
The Prince Regent, in the name and on the behalf of his
Majesty, has also been pleased to command, that as Lieutenant
Richard William Lambrecht, on the half-pay of the 3tt Gar-
rison Battalion, who was the bearer of the challenge from
Ensign' Ring to Lieutenant-Col. Fiederick, appears to have
been equally culpable, his name shall in like manner be erased
from the list of the army.
The Commander-in-Chief has received the Prince Regent's
commands to promulgate to the army the above declaration of his
Royal highness's pleasure on the subject of Licht. Thos. Mas-
ker and Ensign Edw. Ring, and of Lieut. Rd. Wn. Lambrecht,
in order that officers on half-pay may he sensible, that When-
ever they so far forget their duty as to give vent to feelings of
personal animosity and resentment against their former com-
manding officer, on the grounds of his conduct towards them
in his official capacity during the time they Were serving under
his command, they will not fail to draw upon themselves the
Royal displeasure tp the same extent 'as is hereby expressed
against the individuals to whom this order especially applies.
The Commander-in-Chief has it further in command to ex-
press his Royal Highness the Prince Regent's approbation of
the line of conduct adopted on this occasion by Lieutenant..
Colonel Frederick, and to declare, that any officer who shall
prove so unmindful of what is due to his station, and so regard.,
less of .military discipline, as to accept a challenge given on
grounds similar to those on which these officers presumed to
challenge their former Conimander, will incur his Royal High-
ness the Prince Regent's highest displeasure.
By command of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, •
HARRY CALVERT, Adjutant-General.

The remainder of the 34th Regiment of Foot embarked at
Portsmouth on Wednesday, on board the Princess Royal trans-
