the reductions at the' different Public Offices, and a

in the year 1821. This reduction is £5 per cent.
upon original salaries, and £lO per cent. upon the

thus reduced.

" MY MAR Sta—ln consequence of your and other repre-
sentations, it has been determined by their Lordships, this morn- •
ing, to allow the time far soaking the barley in the pmcess of

It is reported that the Emperor of RUSSIA has in-
