TO THE EDI lOR OF THE STAR.
On well aware that the subject I am going
to treat of is a hacknied one ; but the present state of
the times call loudly for its being again taken into
consideration. At a crisis when every article is so
dcar,•the situation of a Subaltern Officer is peculiarly
. tood, especially !bat of an Ensign. He has to support
tle rank of a Gentleman, his necessary expences are
Dearly the same as those of his Colonel ; and upon
what has he to support them ?—Upon his pay of
4s..ssi. a-day tTsitto be supposed, that upon that
44. ad. he can dine at the ;one table with his Colo-
nel (which is the case), and also support the other
necessary expencts attend. rat on his profession ? In
appearance of dress, and in every respect, his ex-
igences are precisely the same as those of a Captain,
v bile at the same time his pay is very d4proportio-
Slate if -ever there was a time that justly claimed
the increase of pay to any rank, that of a'Subalter6
certainly aloes at present. 'I here has lately been an
order issued to the Army respecting a change of
clothing, and no manner of allowance granted to
Officers to effect it ; although the expellee falls heap,
vier on the Subaltern than on any other regimental
rank, in consequence of the change of epaulettes,
which affect them only. How can it be t epected that
s young man, with merely the p,rof a Subaltets,
an be prepared for such an order ? and the conse-
quence is, that the pecuniary circumstances even of i
she best economist become embarrassed, which,
when once the case, may, and often does end in his
being obliged to giro up his commission. Indeed,
. in the regiment is which I have the honour to belong,
I know some well disposed young Officers, who, un- ,
fortunately having nothing but their profession to
support them (which is likewise the case with many
of the best Officers in the Army) have, by the corn-
bination of the late change of dress with the inereas-
ing ezpences of the present times, become involved
in pecuniary diacritics, who idilitherto been able
to manage, with economy. The hope that this plain
and undisguised statement may attract the attention
of some-Gentleman having it in his power to lay the '
subject before earliament once incite, has induced
nelo intreat you will give this a place in the &ran.
