MI was fo derivable in every poitft of view, it had his hearty poncarreaces • . • • • The Marquis of HAADFORT fupported the Bill, and exprelted his regret, that the great Minifler who had brought about the meafore of the-Union, was not at prefent at the head of his Majefty's Couticils. Earl FITZWILLIAM nppded it, as interfering with the principles upon which the Militia of Eng land was originally formed, mid as derogatory from the honour of the nation. which poireffing 380,000 Volunteers, 70,000 Militia, and 44,000 Infantry, with a doe proportion.of Artillery tad Cavalry, Rill was reprefented to be under the necelEty of accepting the Cervices of to,otio frith Militia. ThesDUKE of NORFOLK would vote againft the meafure upon contlitutional grounds. although he acquitted the Knitters of any blame whatever in the t ra dietion, which was in fume nacafure, he had reafon to fuppufe, forced upon 'them, He could nor concur in the wills of a Noble Marquis for the return to power of a Member of another Hoofe,. much lefi in his opinion of his merits as a minißer. He thought that the conßitution had been more violated, the country more °pm tired and impnverithed by taxes, and the Rate of Europe reduced to more difgrace and humiliation by his rneafures, than by the rathnefs or incapacity of all the adminifrations that bad *needed him. The Earl of LIMERICK fiipported the Bill, and retorted with much force the argument advanced by a Noble Earl, that the priollice of volunteering tend ed to countenance that molt dangerous of all princi ple's-to a free Government, the principle of delibera tion by armed bodies. He was furs. when the Noble Lord had made that obfervation, that the extraordi nary refolutions entered into by a number of Militia Colonels at the Thatched Hours, in which the Noble Carl bore fo confpiciious a part, did not offer them (elves to his recollation. He could fee no difference between deliberltion by commanders and deliberation by common foldiers. The Bill had his concurrence, becau(e it would promote that which was the earneß with of his heart, the full political identity of both Lord CARLETON readily admitted, that loch was the Rate of defence in which this part of the United Kingdom was placed, that there did not euift any abfolutt neat ty for the transfer of to,ooo Mili tia from Ireland. Yet, he was dieidedly of opinion, 'Oat when a voluntary offer of fervice was made, like that which had occurred in the prefent inflame, it fliould not be rejefted. It would, in fa& materially tend to the confolidarion of the aft of Union, by !sewing the mutual confidence with which different parts of the fame empire were animated. With re fpea to the °bra-venom whiCh had fallen from a Noble Lord, on the correfpondence that had palled between two Noble Lords in Ireland ) one of whom filled a mof important office, he had merely to re inark,t)tat foal comments were not warranted by the Incidental mention of theicorrefpondence, lance it Was not fairly before their Lordlhips, and could not be made the groondwork of a charge. Lord BORINGDON explained . . The LORD CHANCELLOR delivered a warm eulogium on the character of his abfent Friend ( Lord Redefdale), whom he had keown for many years in the Mod intimate habits of friendfhip, and who he was confident, if he Lad erred, mull have erred from a mittaken idea of the means of good, but in the moil parte& cOnvittion of his heart that what he was then devil* appeared to him molt likely to conduce towards the public welfare. His Lordlhip obfervtd, that, nice:V What had fallen from another Noble Lou. in reference to his Noble Friend, he could hardly thick St incumbent on him to apologife for this digreffion. His LorcHhip then adverted to the general arguments which bad beau nfed ageing the Bill, and contended that the prefent was only a temporary mature, the abuts of which it would be always in the power of Parliament to marlin. If any Voltmeter Corp . * had toted in the Left %fiance to (cite within a particular (tibia. and if there were even an AR of Parliament to continue Inch fervice. would it be reakinable for the Legillatme to prevent them from afterwards ex tending their fervices to the molt diftant parts at the Mend, If they thought fit fo to do ? The Earl of CARNAR VON declared, that from the futillance of the Noble Lord's own arguments, he was induced the more lirongly to infer that a breach of faith was lurking at the bottom of the tranfaelion. From filch a train of argument, they might as well be fent to Jamaica or Ceylon. &fide that, be re minded their Lordihips that the landed property of Ireland paid a large cum of money for the railing of this body for their total defence was it then juft, or becoming the honour and dignity of Parliament. to withdrew fuch a force from them at a time when a florin 'was immediately impending over their heads? Loed AUCKLAND expreffed his furprife, that the oppofition to the Bill fhould chiefly originate from thofe Noble Peers who had repeatedly *Naiad to his Majefly's Mingle's, that they had not in rea ding(' for the defence and fafety of the tountty a force of a difpotable nature fufficiemly large. The oppofition was therefore the more extraordinary, while they blamed Minifters for not having in. creafed die difpofable force, they denied to them, In the fame breath, die power of that kind of force. by refuting their &Tent to a Bill, profelredly direeted to the accomplithmcnt of an objet admitted on all hands to be fo wife and falutary. No man could deny the wifdom and policy of immediately augmenting the difpotable force of the country, more particularly when he looked at , he wretched Rate of the Conti nent. Yet out of that wretched (late force hopes were naturally excited. It was not in the nature of men nr of things, that the war could IsR for any long rime, and in that opini,in he was jullifisd by the an fwers given by the 11 cprefentatives of the different Powers to the Oalcial Communication made to them of the late lying correfpoodence ' and the fain icated plot. It was impoffible that a Government which was founded in regicide, which was railed and exalt ed by blood and poifon, and which was fupported by midnight m.rdeis and aftatErvetions, (boatel long continue to be ri;ded by a baud Rained with the blood of innocent and royal viltans. As to the be. neSts likely to refill: from the Bill before their Lord. ships, there could be hut one opinion. From their lefidence here the Miiitia would acquire im provements arid irninilry, which could not ` , II to be prod -ttive real advAntAgcs, whet' they •et , itned to their nv.r. cro;rtry ; and as to any (IMO . pion of Me M•iiiia in Ireene, by a transfer of ten .1); mi.!. I:'. and, he thought that could form tc the Bill, Ence it was well known Inch was the attachment of the people of that country to the Noblemen tnd Gentlemen, that the number vronid be replaced in a very thort time by a new levy. Lord HARROWBY thought the Bill objeftiona ble, becaufe it went to deprive Ireland of what the molt wanted for her own proteetion, a (hong efficient force; while the principle of reciprocity, with regard to the Cervices of both Militias, went for nothing in the relent cafe as to the difpofable force; for by fabffituting ten thoufand men for the fame number taken away, there was no increafe whatever. • , 2 The Marquis of SLIGO praifed the condo& of the Englitb • Militia in Ireland, and was convinced that the principle of reciprocal fervice would ennui. bute in a very eminent degree to the improvisment and confolidation of the Union. Lord HARROWBY explained. The Duke of MONTROSE. min enemy to the deliberations of all armed bodies. profeired himfelf inimical to the Bill. _ Lord WESTMORELAND entered at Come length into a variety of confiderations and cornparifons to (hew the important benefits which the aseafure was likelT to produce, in the fecurity and welfare of the empire at large. When he looked at the prefent Bill, which went to enable his Majeay to accept the voluntary offers of fervice made by part of the Irilh Militia, he eostfetfed he could not feparatc it from the Bill by which the fame Militia was to be aug• Incited. In this connetled point of view it could not be denied, that a difpofable force was given to Go vernment both in this country and in Ireland, and he mould therefore vote for the Bill. Lord DARNLEY, at eonfiderable length, oppo. fed the Bill. .. . The Earl of EGREMONT raid, that although he had not for a confider:lWe time had occafion to addrefs their Lordthips, yet he conceived the prefent meafure fo novel, and fo objeeiionable on many ac counts, that be thought it his duty to make a public avowal of his difapprobation of :t. Lord GRENVILLE blamed Minifters for not fubming, in a fair and manly mode, to the cont. deratian of Parliament, the principle of reciprocity between the Militia eftablithments of both countries, if fuels was their intention when they firft counte nanced the prefent meafure. But they were not, perhaps, aware that the queßion had been in Come meafure already decided. By the articles of the union with Scotland, it was determined, after great deliberation, that the Militia of England and of that country, fisOuld be confined in refpwa to their ler vices, to the countries by which they were feverally paid. His Lordfltip defended, with his accuflomed ability. the meeting of the Militia Colonels at die Thatched Houle, and challenged any Noble Lord to point out why, or where. it was tmconilitutional for a 'somber of Officers, all of them, without fcarcely an exception, either Peers of Parliament, nr Mem bers of another houfe, to aerobic, and exprels their opinion on a tulle& which moll materially concerned them. His Isorelthip gave his moft decided diflent to the Bill. Lord HAWKESBURY fopported the meafure in a Gott (peech and found fault with the refolutions entered into by the Officers who fubtcribed their names to them. He confidered it as a very great error in them, to (peak as leniently as be could of their conduit, to have ambled in an official and military capacity, and to have poblilbed the refill of their ilaliberationcat that useenng. Lord ROMNEY condemned" the mealier% and vindicated the condo!! of the meeting at the Thatch ed Hoyle, at which he had the honour to be be one. Lords HAWKESBURY and FITZWILLIAM explained. the latter of whom, being called to order by the Loan CRAIN CIL LOA ' fat down, when Lord CARNARVON role* and contended that hie Noble Friend was ark* in order. The queltion being put on the fecund reading, the Houfe divided. Cements% Peers 64, proxies 13, 77—Non Contents : Petri 43, yolk 5..48 —Majority ro. Lord HAWKESBURY laid, at that late hour he would not move for the fecond reading of the other Bill before their Lordships, the bifit Militia Aug mentation Bill, but confine himfeif to moving that the Bill, now read a fecund time, (hould be commit ted for tomorrow. Lord GRENVILLE Rated, that he had infinitely greater objections to the feeond Bill, than to the one note read, and would Rate thole objettions at Come length tomorrow. He agreed with the Noble Baron, that it was now too late to enter upon the difeuifiou of it.—Adjourned at eleven o'clock. HOUSE OP COMMONS.

We have. received fome of the minor Paris Jour. nals to the fame date as the hat Mensiturs that ar rived, viz. the toth infant inctufive. The mly im portant ciicumflance they preterit is an admillion of the fait, known before by other channels, that ferious di flurbances have broken out in Switzerland, where they feem completely tired of the French fyftem. We fubjoin the e lamas made from thefe Papers: rit It ts, Aram to.—The lafi poll from Switzerland his brought a nnmiter of letters, Rating the move ments and hoitilities which have taken place in the Cantdn of Zurich. and which attraet the public at tendant not only in Switzerland. but alto in the neighbottiing countries. It i►as geaerally believed in Switzerland, that as Coon as the peafantc of the Canton of Zurich fhould find that a numerous force had been detached againft them by order of the Landamman, they would fubmit to their government, take the oath of fidelity to it, and della from their oppofition to the late decrees in fivour of the inhabitants of the towns ; but the event has proved otherwice. The allembling of the can tonal troops of Zurich was the fignal of refinance with the peafants. They have arrayed themfelves with confiderable order in the dint of Vedenfchwyl or Horgen, have appointed an old fiddler, called their Commander in Chief, and have eonni• tuted a Central Committee. According to the latelk accounts, it likewife ap. pears that the infurgeots are forming themfelves into regular bodies in fereral other diltrifts, viz. Mei len. Ufler. Tekratiorff, Mettunlletten, Andelfingew. &e. The Zurich Government, and the Commander in Chief of the Swift troops (Col. Zicesa), thought it bet! to fubdue, in the firft ionance, the peafants of the dinrid of Horgen. All the troops confequently marched an the 28th alt. and advanced beyond Har gett ; but all their attacks in this quarter were comae cefsful : they were even beaten, and obliged, towards evening, to return, with confiderable precipitation, to Zurich. The peafants pained them within two leagues of the city, and made feveral prifoners.— Reinforcements are eapefed at Zurich from the other cantons, and the infurgents, on their fide, teemed refolved to march againfl the city. The Young Englithmen imprifoned at Verdun have obtained leave of the French Government to finifh their 'ladies at Metz ; an ad of condelkenfion and generofity to an enemy, which they may be far from returning. The fins-women of Rouen having ardently defrred the performance of re Darner as an ad of thankfgiving for the efcape of the FIRST Cousin., they went to the Cathedral in a number of carriages, where the fervice An article dated Stralbourg, March a 6, lays, the ELICTOR of BADEN, as his own proper aA, upon his own territory, has caufed the oriel of Acrnonsus Pewit.

The firil difcovery of a huge lady of troops at Boulogne was on Sundaymbes there was a grand review of at !cal t S,OOO men on the Mlle above Ambleteufe. They remained on the grimed from ten o'clock till paft five, and performed a greet many evolutions. The whole of the affair was a grand difplay of rapid manoeuvres. The two new bafons at Ambleteufe and Vinsereux are almoli quite finifhed, and have a coufiderable number of gun boats in them. The opinion is, that they will have a great advantage over Boulogne as harbours. Fourteen gun boats cave out of Amble teufe on Saturday in ids than ten minutes , fo that it appears clearly, that from the three harbours they can knd out boo fail in a tide. It is foppofed, from the ob arvations made upon the force that remained in the harbour, that about a third part of the enemy's fixht ing force was otundei as nearly one half of tit* veffels are not armed.
