	Warrant by Treasurer Oxford to Francis Gwyn, Secretary at War, to prepare a royal warrant to authorise the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to pay to the Regiments of Horse and Dragoons commanded by MajorGen. Pepper and Col. Bland the difference between the English and the Irish Establishment rates for the subsistence for the effectiveOfficers and men on the muster roll for the time between their being placed on the Establishment of Ireland and the time of their arrival in that kingdom.
	Prefixing: (1) report dated 26 Oct. 1713 by the Comptrollers ofArmy Accounts on the Duke of Ormonde's report for allowing English pay to said Regiments for said intermediate time. The said Regiments were taken prisoner in Spain in 1711; and were (by the Queen's order of 25 July 1712) placed on the Establishment of Ireland “from the 23 of Dec. preceding” but did not arrive from their imprisonment till January 1712–13 and having no notice of their said removal to the Irish Establishment they were subsisted till their arrival in Ireland according to the Establishment of Great Britain, which being much larger than is allowed upon the Establishment of Ireland the difference is charged upon the pay of the Officers in order to reimburse thePaymaster here; and [also] the Establishment of Ireland is less as to numbers both of Officers and men than that of Great Britain, viz. two entire Troops of Major General Pepper's Regiment and several Officers and men in both [? Regiments]: and the subsistence[for the said Regiments] having been issued by the Paymaster [of the Forces] of Great Britain is also charged back on the pay of the Officers, which leaves them under a great hardship. There is a saving on the Establishment of Ireland by the removal of severalRegiments from that Establishment which were not supplied in many months after, viz. the Regiments of Rooke, Price, Slane and Jones on 13 Jan. 1710–11 and Feilding and Tyrrell in April following, all which vacancies were not supplied till December following. As theRegiments of Pearce, Gorge and Mountjoy have been relieved under like circumstances we think these Regiments may also be relieved out of the abovesaid savings, as this hardship has arisen through difficulties in the service not to be foreseen and the order for placing them on the Irish Establishment bears date only 25 July 1712 and they landed from Spain not till January following.
