necessaries, if any, are to be packed up, and sent to such place
as shall be pointed out by the agent for Commissariat Supplies
at the Treasury, to whom Inventories thereof are to be trans-
mitted.
QUARTERS, AND ACCOUNTS OF THE MEN.-2d, The
quarters of the men to be reduced are to be duly cleared, their
accounts made up, and all their just pretensions completely sa-
tisfied to the time of their being discharged.
CLOTHING OF DISCHARGED MEN..--Id. Each non-com-
missioned officer and private man, who shall be discharged, is
to be permitted to carry away with him his knapsack, and his
proper regimental clothing for the present year.
GREAT COATS OF DISCHARGED MEN-4th. The great
coats in wear will alsote allowed to be taken away by the said
non-commissioned officers and men, if the same shall have been
actually worn for the space of two years ; but, if not, they ,are
to• be packed up and forwarded to such place as shall be pointed
out by the agent for Commissariat Supplies, at the Treasury, to
whom an inventory thereof should be sent.
ESTIMATE OF SUMS REQUIRED.-sth. An estimate of
the sums that will be required on the present occasion, is to be
sent to the Department of Accounts at this. Office, distinguish-
ing the proportion for each head of Service.
CLAIMS OF MEN TO BE REDUCED.-6th. The claims of
the Individuals present with the Regiment, and liable to reduc-
tion, are, of course, to be finally settled on their discharge ;
but in cases of men unavoidably absent, a statement of the ba-
lance due to each is to be transmitted to the Agent, in order
that the claims of such men may be 'settled hereafter upon
their own application to the Agent, without difficulty or
delay.
DATES OF DISCHARGING THE MEN-7th. Care is to be
taken that the day, or days, on which the men are severally
discharged, be inserted in the regimental accounts.
ALLOWANCES rEu Compasy.---Bth. These allowances for
the reduced Companies are to be discontinued from the 25th
instant.
MARCHING MONEY, FAMILY ALLOWANCE AND PAS-
SAGE MONEY.-9th. The allowances to be granted under the
heads of marching money, family allowance, and passages by
water, fcr the men, who, on being discharged, intend to re.
side in the United' Kingdom, and 'tor their families, are spe-
cified- in -Section 2 of the R;gulatiOzis lately issued from this
Office.
DISCHARGES.-10th. It having lately occurred in many in-
stances, that men, producing discharges at Chelsea, have
al-
leged that the discharges did not contain alltheparticulars which
they would have wished to have brought under the consideration
of the Chelsea Ward, it is extremely desirable that especial care
be taken that the discharges of the men, recommended for the
Out-Pension, may show every
.proper ground of claim that each
man may have on account of his services, wounds, or other dis-
ability.
Officers—l lth.—The Field Officers and Captains, who are
Major-Generals, are to be removed from the Regiment, and
are to receive unattached allowances as General Officers, on
being removed from their effective commissions They are to
be succeeded by Captains of Companies, not being Major-Ge-
nerals, who however are to receive only their present pay and
emoluments, until they shall fall into vacancies by the death or
promotion in other Regiments of the Major-Generals removed
by this arrangement. But in the event of the Captains . now
becoming Field Officers being hereafter promoted to the rank
of Major-General, and being consequently removed from their
Regimental Commissions, they are to receive only pay and
allowances as Captains of Companies, and not as Field Officers.
The Five senior Captains of the Six reduced Companies are
to fall into the vacancies caused by the promotions in. conse-
quence of the removal of the Major-Generals, and the remain-
ing Captain is to be retained en second, receiving only his nett
pay and arrears, until he shall fall into a vacancy on the esta-
blishment.
The Lieutenants and Ensigns of the reduced Companies are
to be retained-on the full pay of their ranks en second, until
they shall fall into vacancies on the establishment.
