The following official Circular has been issued last
week from the War Office, addressed to Colonels of
Militias:

Sts—Scveral applications, founded on the proposed reduction
of the Militia Staff, having been made to me, respecting the dis-
charge of Sergeants, I have the honour to acquaint you, that as
the extent to which the reduction shall be carried into effect will
depend upon the determination of Parliament, it will be advisable
that no Sergeants should be discharged until such determination
shall have been announced.

" And as the claims of the Sergeants to be pensioned are made
to depend not only upon length of service, but unfitness and infir.
rimy resulting from military duty, it will be essential to ascertain
before they are discharged, whether their cases' can be brought
within the regulutions under which militia pensions are granted.
"I take this opportunity of informing you, that the clothing due
on the 25th ult. is to he supplied for the number of Non-commis.
simod Officers and Drummers intended to be retained; and that
those whose reduction is contemplated will be considered as entitled
to compensation to the date of their discharge.
• " I have the honour to be,
" Sir, your moat obedient servant,
"H. HARDINGE.

Commander of the blockading squadron, on his late visit there,
