They have created dissatisfaction in the Army, and are
now endeavouring to conciliate the Navy. Their civil
reductions have been equally marked by an utter want of
judgment, and like those in our country, have been made
Fat the wrong end ; in place of reducing the supernumerary
heads of departments with redundant salaries, by which
a real saving might have been effected, they have turned
adrift a multitude of miserable clerks with small salaries,
to become burthens to the public or nuisances to society,

wasting at the bunghole." Such an administration does
not deserve to stand.—Plymoutli Journal.
REDUCTIOWL—With a considerable regard for the
distresses of the poor, accompanied with a thorough con-
viction of the imperative necessity of effecting retrench-
ment to the utmost possible extent in every department,
the Lords of the Admiralty, in place of reducing the
number of artificers employed in this Dock-yard, and
thus adding to the distresses of the poor in this inclement
season, by turning adrift men who have no resource but
their parish when out of employment, have sent down
orders for withdrawing their allowance of chip money,
which, though a mere trifle to the individuals who have
enjoyed it, amounts in the aggregate to a large sum,
being no less than 12,0001. annually at this port alone.
By the adoption of this measure, suggested, as we are
informed, by G. SMITH, Faq. Secretary to the Navy
Board, between 2 and 300 men, who must otherwise have
been discharged, will be retained in employment, at the
