(t has been represented to the Commander in

Chief, that, nuiwithstaeding the farmer Order*
whicbhave been issued on this subject, the Com.
esissioners of the Royal Hospitals :of Chelsea and
Liimainham are much embarrassed in the perform— •
ance of their dutyl, by the very loose and vague
planner, in which, in many instances, the Services
'of Soldiers, who are presented to them, sire asccre
Mined.
The Order of the lath of May, 1608, has been •
revised with the most scrupulous attention, and has
been found perfectly adequate •to its object, It
should therefore be unnecessary to rePeat what has
been so recently and clearly explaioed ; hut the in,
attention of Office:sin command Regiments to
this essential part of their duty, renders it Wis..
pensable on the part of the Commander in Chief,.
to repeat his injections, that the must exact ohedi.
wide be paid to this Otder, and in point out the fol•
lowing irregularities,..as those which hare generally
occasioned the difficulties complained of, vii.

6th. In wipes tottpeties% the obsokte forms of Discharie
have been seed,
Theis various points hue been so clearly ex.
plained in the Regulations, and their object must,
it is resumed, be so itt unison with the feelings 44
every (Merl that the Commander in Chief cannot
but lie much surprised at the want of attention to
thorns which his called for these oninotdversions.
If it was necessary, or proper,' to suggest cny
additional incentive to a sense of duty, the Officers
to whom this Order Is •addressedf *solid find it in
the present instance, in the interest they cannot but
take in the welfare of those, who having served
their hest days ander their command, are seat home
to avail themselves of the bounty and provision,
Which the gratitudeof their sountry, and the gra.
awes care of their Sovereign, have prepared fur
them, but which is frequently withheld, from their
not being furnished with the documents, which are
necessary to ascertain their claims,
It is most distressing to the Commander in Chief,
to state the evils to which Soldiers at the closcuf thcir
services are exposed by such omission but he feels it
so imperiously his duty to redress them, that he has
judged it eapedient thus publicly to decline, that,
shevuld any similar instances hereafter occur, lie nil(
consider any Commanding ()dicer who gives his Sig-
nature to a Discharge, which is nut m rde ail in
formity to the late Regulations, as runt
sible for a Disobedience of Orders,.and for ihe
sequences, with which,. his tiegteca may be ottieud. (14
