PUBLIC REDUCTIONS.
Mk. EDITOR-I beg leave to offer a new plari
of retrenchment, by which, in the. opinion of
many of my friends, a greater saving of officers
and otlicer,.s' salaries, in the Public‘Departments
may be etyeeted, without inftri'y tftan.'y
-titan is expected to acgrn't from the new alTauge-
ments sanctioned by the Lords of the Treasury.
It is well known to many of my friends in the
Public Offices, that, at the time when fees Ivo',
allowed, there were numerous useless forms and
ceremonies introduced into the ptiblic business,
for the purpose of enabling the Officers to make
charges at as many stations as possible. These
useless incumbrances on the dispatch of husiniess
still continue, though the abolition of fees ha'
taken away the only good reason which can be
assigned for their original introduction.
Now, Sir, were the forms themselves abolished,
as well as the right to take fees, which alone ren-
dered them valuable, the duty of Officers would
in some instances be reduced one half ; and con'
sequently fewer Officers would be found regal'
site for the performance of the *lodes. Another
obvious advantage would be increased celerity h'
the dispatch of business. And, its order to make •
the reduction as extensive and effectual as pos-
sible, and the saving as great as is practi-
cable, without injury to the Officers themselves/
I would recommend that all Officers Who
shall give satisfactory proqf that their ~
victual services can be dispensed with, shod'd
be allowed to retire on an allowance of three'
fourths of their existing salary. Adopt tbr!
plan, and you will soon find proofs upon •pr°°l
brought forward of the facility with which tuu
public service may be advantageously curtailed'
—perhaps to the extent of one-third, if not one"
half, of the present expense. The onc-f00"
which I propose to be immediately reserved 103
saving to the public, would amount to 0101
more than will be found to accrue from the hars
dismissal of faithful servants, without any
pro-
vision for them, which is contemplated bY"
TreasuryArrangements,and as the retired °nice":
on my plan die off, the whole of their allotrzo"
will fall to the Public.

So far from this plan being injurious to 311 f
one, it would affect none but those who thoog''
,t
it advantageous to themselves to retire on the re
i
duced allowance ; and there are few who ot"1.
not think the acquisition of their time, for theirnf
own disposal, worth the sacrifice of one -
their present income. I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant. o

SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDE-li at

LONDON,
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1821.

We have received the French Papers of T burs'
day and Friday, the contents of which are still
silent on the state of the relations between Rus-
sia and Turkey. The political situation of Spain
is far from tranquil, added to which a consider-
able portion of the eastern provinces in that
country are suffering dreadfully from the destruc-
tive fever which manifested itself in the first place
at Barcelona, and has since spread to sever°
neighbouring towns. Our extracts will be found
in the preceding columns.

We thought the exhortations of the Patriarchs'
though the " tranquillity of Constantinople" wa4
sagely attributed to his influence, would not 113"
much weight with the Greeks. By the l: test
letters from Constantinople, it appears, that, st)
far from his Appeal having had any effect on th'"
patriotic bands of his countrymen, they refuse to
recognize his authority, in consequence of his
having been appointed by the sole authority '9(
the Porte, without the concurrence of the Syroid7
all the members of which had been assassinated
by the Turks!—Many of the Greeks believe the
new Patriarch to be a Jew in disguise. But thii
is not probable. The Porte had too 111311
Greeks at its absolute disposal, not to find °n©
who would accept the Patriarchal office for tha
purpose of employing its authority, in obediellC
to the commands of the GRAND SIGNOR, aod f°r
the subjection of the Greek people to his tyranll.

GIBRALTAR, SEPT. 10.--it appears, by an ub

ALARMING FIRES IN THE WOODS OF glair IND

NEW BRUNSWICKI
A Gentleman who arrived here on Thursday
in the schooner Active, from Eastport, informs,
that the drought, in the ne;ghhourhood of st.
Croix river, the p7e..ent season., has been gyp•

12sually severe, and that the fires in the woods
have raged to a more alarming extent than ever
before known. Several buildings have been
burnt in the parish of St. Stevens, on the British
sidt of the river ; others were saved with great
difficulty. From Calais to Eastport, abodt a
fortnight since, the vessel our informant took
passage in was entirely enveloped in smoke.
Prom the Devil's Head great damage has been
done to grain, fences, timber, bark, &c. The
fire in various places has been burning for six
weeks. There had not been rain enough for
eight weeks to wet the ground ; the crops of
potatoes, it was expected, would be entirely
cut off.

S VANN Air, SEPT. 1. (Tornado and Hail
Sto'in.)—On the evening of the 22d ult. a tor-
nado, accompanied with hail, thunder, and light-
ning, was experienced at Tybee Island, which
-blew down the north west wing of the United
States barracks, and destroyed many of the panes
of glasses in the light-house. Some of the hail is.
said to be an inch in diameter.
[FRnxt THE SPANISH MAlN]—Near Fork,
Sept. I O.—Capt. S. HENER, arrived yesterday of
t'n'oon from Angostura and Laguira, informs
that the Patriots were besieging Puerto Cabello
and With good prospect of success. Captain
carried the Chief Director of Angostura and se
veral Officers to Laguira, on business.

_adrid Papers to the 18th ult. arrived at a
very late hour last night.—The following are ex-
tracts

CAD) z, SEAT. 6.—An account from Lima of 7th
:April
33YS"- " Our situation with respect to the invaders is better
than it was four months ago, which is all owing to our new
Chief and to our continual sacrifices. We know that there are
IllanY discontented persons in the enemy's army, and on board
Cochrane's fleet, because they see that his plans have failed.—
as we are assured, the two ships arrive within two months,
fore; s Cochrane is ruined, and San Martin also ; for we have land
lough to conquer all this part of America, and when
the two ships arrive it will become tranquil ; but if they have
wtlnot sailed, you should use your influence with the Government
,80,,en,d,..thenl, with good officers. Ever since August last yr ar,
exPedition set out to invade us, we were told that the
I,iovernmt nt would take measures to succour us, and we there- I
for e are in cmstant expectation of the two ships so much de-
shed."

stated
" Saturday, that, in consequence of the
refusal of J. PniNcEP7 Esq. the High Bailiff, to

4‘. WiLsoN, the Requisitionists had determined
..sto meet at the Three Tuns, a public-house in the

rll4ve discovered that the authority of the Lotto
it-ron supersedes that of the High Bailiff, and
the Hall

; he has of course granted it. The Ma-
gistrates, however, are empowered to postpone
adjourn it, if they think proper, by a clause
vthe second section of an Act, passed in the

illghest Law Authorities ; the result of which
not as yet transpired. The sabject of all
