REGULATIONS (DIRECTED BT ORDER) TO BE OBSERVED
BY REGIMENTAL OFFICERS, ON THEIR APPOINT-

MENT, REMOVAL., EXCHANGE, OR PROMOTION.

Officers, on being newly appointed to Commissions in the Army,
are to join their Regiments or Depots within two months from
the-dates of their appointments, or at such period as may be di-
rected by the Adjutant-General.
The Pay of Officers newly appointed, who fail to join within
two months from the dates of their appointments, or to comply
with the directions they receive from the Adjutant-Generals is
to be stopped ; and if their absenie is not speedily and satisfac-
torily accounted for, their appointments will be cancellei.
Officers who erck;mge s or are removed from one Regiment to
another ; or obtain promotion in another Corr ; or are ap-
pointed from the half-pay, are to have recourse to the readiest
means of joining the Regiment or Depot to which they are ap-
pointed or removed. It is expected that few cases can occur
where an Officer, selected from the half-pay, shall not be re-
vered to join immediately on appointment.
In all eases where Officers do not join their Regiments, or
Depots, enthin two months from the date of their appointment,
removal, exchange, or promotion, their Regimental Pay is to be
withheld (as directed in the fifth article of sixth section of the
Articles of War), until a satisfactory explanation shall have been
given, through the Commanding Officers of their respective regi-
ments or depots, as to the cause of their delay in joining, and a
notification of the same shall have been made by the Adjutant-
General to the Secretary at War.
Officers who are newly appointed to commissions, or from the
half-pay, or who are exchanged or promoted to other corps, may
be reported in the Regimental Returns in the column of " Offi-
cers absent with Lave,' for two months from the dates of their
appointments, removal, exchange, or promotion.
This authority is not. however, to prevent such Officers from
having recourse to the readiest means of joining their regiments,
or depots, as before directed, nor to be construed as a right of
leave of absence to be claimed by them ; nor is it to interfere
with any orders which Commanding Officers of regiments or
depots may, under particular circumstances, deem it necessary
to transmit, requiring such Officers to join forthwith. or at any
giscificperiod within the two months.
The period of two months is allowed to Officers under the
above &communes, to enable them to provide themselves with
the necessary etpdts, and to join their regiments or depots
in any part of the Wwd Kingdom; and the authority for their
being considered en Wm, during that period, is to prevent any
difficulty arising in the issue of their regimental pay on their
joining their respective regiments, or depots..
In the event of an Officer failing to join by the aspiration of toss
months, he is to be reported in the subsequent Regimental Re-
turns," Albsent without leave," from the date of his appointment,
exchange, removal, or promotion, and a special report of his ab-
sence is to be transmitted to the Adjutant-General, at the end of ,
the following, or third month after the date of appointment, &c.
in order that, if no satisfactory account can be obtained as to the
cause of his ebsence, his appointment may be cenceited;
Officers, on joining their regiments or depots, are to report
themselves personally to the Commanding Officers, and are also
to give notice of their arrival, either personally or in writing, to
the Adjutant. The same rule is to be observed on an Officer
joining any garrison or military station.

FATAL. DUEL.
41=M=MIMI611
EXTRACT OF ♦ LETTER FRODI TIT ISLAND OP
NEVIS, DATED AUGUST 1.
A fatal duel was lately fought in this island, be-
tween WALTER MAYNARD, Esq. the President, and
JOHN HUGGINS, Esq. youngest son of one of our
principal planters. Some misunderstanang having
taken place between the President and the elder Mr.
HUGGINS, on their meeting in the street, warm words
passed between them, arid the former applied to the
latter so,tie very severe epithets. In consequence, his
son, Mr. JOHN Hucours, addressed a remonstrance
to the President, couched, it is understood, in very
temperate language. The President, in,reply, refused
to retract the offensive epithets he had applied to the
father, but offered to give the On a meeting. The
consequence was a dueT.: the parties fired together,
and the President's shot unhappily took effect ; the
►all entered above the right hip, passed through the
body, and came out at the upper part of the left
thigh. Mr. HUGGINS lived about an hour and a half
after receiving the fatal wound. He was a young
man of a most amiable character, and was married
only about seven months.
