A Table, alphabetically arranged, has in like manner been framed,
exhibiting the Amount of Salary, Allowances, and Establishment allot-
ted to each Staff Situation under this Presidency; and the Dates of
Authority fixing the several Sums, are also annexed, by which the in-
sertion of the various Orders issued on the subject, excepting such as
may be of further general import, or in some degree explanatory of the
Functions to be discharged, is rendered unnecessary.

All other Contingent and Miscellaneous Allowances are retained
under the Head or Department to which they severally apply, that
the Section allotted to the Regimental Pay of the Army, may be ren-
dered less voluminous and complicated:- a Plan which has more-
over tended much to the Compression of the Work, as the Regulations
issued on such points, generally combine other matter connected with
the duties or circumstances governing the same, which renders it im-
possible to separate their Contents, for distinct publication, without
obscurity or repetition.

The subjoined Section forming an Addenda, is composed of such
Orders as were received during the publication of the Code, too late
to be incorporated under their appropriate Heads.

ceed the quantity above stated, without the particular permission of the Commander in Chief.

5. The improved quality of the fine Gun Powder used in the Musket Ball Cartridges of the Army at this Presidency, being found to give too great concussion to the Piece, the Governor in Council directs that, when made of fine Powder, the quantity contained in the Musket Ball Cartridge, shall in future be but six drachms; but with regard to the Blank Cartridges made for Practice and Review of Regiments, they shall contain as before, eight drachms.

6. All Indents for Ammunition shall be signed by the Officers Commanding Corps, under whom a Book of Receipts and Issues is to be kept. The day, and the cause that occasioned the Indent, to be mentioned, together with the day and occasion on which the expenditure was made.

7. The foregoing Register is to be kept by the Quarter Masters of Corps, or by the Adjutants, in the absence of the former, or when neither of these Officers are present, by the Officer acting for them; but in all cases the Book is to be carefully compared with the Battalion Orders, as Vouchers, at the end of each Month by the Commanding Officer, and to be minutely inspected by him, with whom the check and responsibility is constantly, and solely, to remain attached.

8. Further to regulate this matter, the quantity of Ammunition, and purpose of its expenditure, is to be issued in the public Orders of the Corps, specifying the number of rounds to be expended by each Man; or, when circumstances do not admit the delay of this method, which however can seldom occur, an explanatory Remark in the column of Expenditure must be added.

:

9. Attending to the above-mentioned Rules, the Commanding Officer will carry such overplus as may remain unexpended at the end of the month, on his Return of Receipts and Expenditure; and on the succeeding month, his indent will only contain the difference between the number in store, and that required to complete.

10. It is also directed that Monthly Accounts be transmitted to the Office of the Adjutant General, of all Receipts and Issues of Ammunition, according to the prescribed form, and which must accompany the Monthly Returns of Corps. Damaged Ammunition is, of course, to be returned into store and exchanged, on Indent, for serviceable.

11. Commanding Officers and Quarter Masters of Regiments and Battalions are held responsible, when indenting back old Ammunition Barrels, that they do so with the Copper Hoops complete, and those
