Abercren . sby, was =Versed. Previout to the third reading of the Volunteer Bill, Lord GRENVILLE again called the attention of the Houfe to the claufe fanflioning the esifience and continuance of Committees, by whom regulations for the internal condua of the different Corps were to be made. He deprecated in lirong terms the idea of encouraging a deliberative body of armed men.— He differed from Noble Lord. on the other fide on this head, in three feveral rerpeCts. In the &II place, in a retrofpeftive poiat of view, he thought it would tend materially to remove this grievance, which previous to the Chriflrnas reeds was fo gene rally antlered to require a remedy, that all regulations originating in Corps or Committee s Ihould, within a certain period after the palling of the Ad, be trent - - mitred for the fantlion of his Majefly, and, according to his approbation or rejection, fhould afterwards be obferved or fall to the ground. Secondly. prorpec tively, he thought that all Inch regulations fhould in future originate with the Commanding Officer, by whom or by the Lord Lieutenant they ought to be tranfruitted to his Majefly for his fanftion. And thirdly, he objected to the claufe as holding out an implied approbation of this fpecies of an armed deli berative force. He therefore moved, that the claufe be omitted, after which he thould propofe another in its (lead, which he hoped would effect the olajefts he had hinted at. Lord AUCKLAND felt himfelf under the need fitiof ditrenting from the motion. He thought that Noble Lords fhould panic a little before they rejefted the clank of which they were in poicellion, and with out hieing fully acquainted with the nature of *at the Noble Baron may propofe to fulitlitute in its place. He did not much relilh the idea of being thus fent to open fee without chart or compaf., and he therefore wilhed that the Noble Baron had fallen upon tonic mode of informing the Houfe to what precife point their coerce was to be directed. He raw much inif chief and confufion likely to refult from the retro fpeftive operation of the claufe, nor could he agree with the Noble Baron, that the exuding Committees were pregnant with the conliitutional inconveniencies lie had fo firongly &refilled ; and above all, he de precated the pollibility of fitting the Volunteer. loore from the regulations they were sifting tinder, even improper as in lonic infants they pollibly might be. He could not cottor in the exaggerated pillure the Noble Baron had drawn of the dangers to be appre hended from a deliberative capacity, refining under certain reftraints and qualifications in a body of men fo patriotically and loyally conflituted as the Volum tecrs. There was no wound, there was no lost:, tl..tt ' required the extraordinary application recommended by the Noble Baron,who teemed to think that they; ezißed in this part f the Volunteer Syftern, lerenntlieata,le evlnua recukoduan, ne pars sw.xfa Lagar , C'a!ta fl 'would net &MCA* to that opinion, and king ' there was no necetlity for carrying the principle to the utnsoft extent that it was meant to- flretch lt, be would oppofe the Motion of the Noble. Baron. Lord GRENVILLE explained, that he amid not, confiftent with ordel, fubmit his ideas on the fubjed in the form of a motion to the Honk, until the claufe propole.l by the Noble Baron had been previoutly expunged, nor could he regularly communicate it to Noble Lords unlefs he had read it as part of his fpeecb. However, with the permiCfion of the Houfe, he would (late the fubilance of what be meant to propole, in cafe his motion for expunging the clank Ihould be carried. It was, firft, That the rules and regulations of all Volunteer Corps,aftually embodied. fhould, within one month from the palling of the Bill, be tranfmitted through the Commanding Officer and the Lord Lieutenant of the County, to the Secretary of State, for his Majelly's approbation : fecondly, That for the future no regulation by a Volunteer Corps Ihould be valid without loch allowance on the part of the King: and, laftly, That all filch regula tions &mild originate with the Commandino Officer, and none other.—He was particularly anxious with regard to the efiablifhment of his lag propofition, becaufe he thought he could perceive a difpotition in the Noble Baron to compromife the pra6ice, and to admit that although k would be proper that the ori ginating power Ihould refide in the Commanding Officer, yet that cafes may arife where it would be prudent in him to confult and refer to the colleaive opinion of the Corps. Lord HAWKESBURY agreed in many of the opinions of the Noble Baron. Hewifbed that thole regulations bad never citified ; bat as Parliament, for tome years pall, had acquiefced in them, be could not fee upon what principles of confifiency or public faith it could now be endeavoured to put an end to them. The mifcbiefs which the Noble Lord appre hended from thole regulations were not, he would contend, fn probable as were fuppofed, and for this ftrong rearm', that whenever they Ihould be placed on permanent duty, or called out in cafe of appear ance of location, there would be an end to all their rules and regulations, and they would, in either of thole two inllances, be fubjed to the operation of the mutiny laws, like the reit of his Maj etly's forces. — As the olaufe of his Noble Friend fulficiently provid ed againft future dangers, and as from the tried prudence and loyalty of the Volunteers, he was jufti tied in prefuming that by fee the greaten part of them would be ready to recall their regulations, or to adopt fuels alterations as his Majelly fhould recommend, he would perfill in fuppoi ting the original claufe. The Duke of MONTROSE lamented that either' the preceding or the prefent government (Maid have, either direftly, or by connivance, Conditioned the practice of allowing men with their arms in hands to affume a deliberative capacity. He thought it the duty of parliament to cru(h, by their formal l an d open declaration, the pofiibility of it for the fu. ture. As the claufe intended to be propofed by the Noble Baron would moil fully cad that, it fhould 'have his fupport, and ha would therefore, although the did not wholly difapprove of the prefent claufe, - Ivote for the motion for expunging it. Lord HOBART did not mean, after what bad been urged in reply to the Noble Baron who made the original motion, to enter at large upon the fob jea, but he role for the purpofe of repelling Tome obfervatiuns thrown out by the Noble Baron, tend. hug, in his judgment, to produce all the mifchiefs they purpofed to advert. He raided to that part of his argument, wherein he called upon Parliament to do their duty, regardlefs of any conlequenees that may follow ; and not to have it imagined that they were to be intimidated, by the numbers or ex tent of the Volunteer force, from crating their Committees, and abolifhing the practice of delibera ting. He could not fit fluent, and hear it aflerted, that a Britith Legiflatnre could be ever deterred from the performance of its duty, or the maintenance of its authority, by any body or bodies of men. He thought too well of the principles of loyalty and pa triotilin by which the Volunteers were aftuated, to fuppole that they would ever be guilty of the crime of rafhly Petting rhemfelves up againfl Parliament ; but if they fhould, he trulled that Parliament would always be found competent to the talk of putting them down. When the Volunteers of Ireland, dur ing the period that a Noble Earl near him (Lord Weftmoreland) was Lord Lieutenant there, were engaged in foam proceedings contrary to the calling laws, the Parliament of that country exerted the powers with which the Conaitution had invefted it, and the Volunteers were fuppreffed. Should the fame circumllonces require it. as long as the fame caufe produced the fame effed, a fimilar relish would attend a fimilar attempt by any defcription of force in this part of the Empire. The original claufe would, by its operation, accomplifh, by gentler, and as effalual means, all that the Noble Baron promifed to himielf from the adoption of his fubflitute for it, and therefore it fhould have his fnport. quellion was then put on the Motion for ex• punning G,e Claufe Noe-corlintr, 25—Content4, rs. A new Claule was propolcd by Lord Grenville, and adopted. Some other amendments were made, and the Bill was pallid, and ordered to be Pent back to the Com mons as amended. Lord HOBART moved, that as the printed co. pies mere on the taLle, the lrith Militia Augmenta• Lion Bill flsGuld be read a fecond time to-morrow, and that the Lords fbould be fummone.d. Adjourned to three o'clock tomorrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. hIr.SPEAKER having taken the Ch.or. Mr. ,lIA W, returned Starker for the City of rublin, in the roomed J. C.

Mr.' LONG rote, not, he laid, to oppofe the Or. der of the Day for the fecond reading, but to repeat to the Houle the with already expreffed by a Right Hon. Friend of his (Mr. Pitt) to be prefent in that Rage of it, as he intended toe fpeak his fentiments thereon. The Houfe would recollat that with and intention of his Right Hon. Friend, more particularly from the circumaance of his having, tome week , ago, declared his purpofe of bringin forward Come general meafure on the ruble& of national defence ; and that he ouly refrained from that purpofe until he lhould learn diainftly the nature of the meafures then in the contemplation of his Majelly's Mininers. His Right Hon. Friend was prevented from attend. ing in his place this day, by a flight indifpofition.— He trolled, however, that the Houk would not pro ceed with the next Rage of the Bill without giving his Right Hon. Friend the opportunity he thould with. If, therefore, the Right Hon. Gentlema4 would fay what day they fhould deem molt cony nient to them for the difeutfion, his Right Hon. Friend would on that day attend in his place, declare his fentiments at Come Isngth, and take the fenfe of the Houle upon the Bill. To morrow, he thought would be too early a day ; Friday was already ap pointed for another important diteuttion ; and he prefumed Monday or Tuefday might be convenient. Mr. YORKE Paid, certainly it was Ms with to accommodate the Right Honourable Gentleman ; and, as he underllood there was no oblation to put ting off till Monday the other difcuffion, the Bill might pronged to the next Rage on Friday. Mr. ADAIR, on the part and in the abfenee of his Honourable Friend, Mr. Fox, declared there would be no oblation to pollpone his queftion till 1 Monday. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEVER fait*, it was his intention to pollpone the cotter he had given for Wednefday nest, as he underflood that Come intimation was vitiated from Ireland relative to the loan for that country, the particulars of which it would be neeeffary for him , to know, before he could proceed upon the bufinefs he had in content. plasion. The expelled , iatiasatinn, be hoped, would arrive by Tuefday. • it would be neceffary to bare two or three days to eanfider the fubjea, before the amount of the loan wanted could be correely fpc cified ; the bufinefs, therefore, could not be brought forward till the Monday following. The Army Er. timates, porpofed for next Monday, he would poll pone till Wednefday, which would give an opportu, nity of deferring till Monday the bufinefs intended for Friday, and leave that day open for the difenifion now propofed, Sir ROBERT zuxTon role, not togo into any argument on the merits of the Eril now, though he declared hinffelf decidedly an enemy to it ; but he witted to ark asiltation with regard- to one of its principles, namely, the mode by 'which' the coney was to be altered, for defraying the diurnal eclat* claimable under this Bill. If the affeffments wan to be on counties at large, he had no oblation to that part of the principle, but if Oa PaAeg MOrelis he had arcing oblations. Mr. Secretary YORKE raid, if the Honourable Baronet had looked into the Bill, he would have found the affeffment was intended on parallel, in the nature of poor's rates. The Bill was committed for Fiiday. Ely pul wh the ka tin for 'N ib dui mil I. for for for He ►USL!C ACCOUNTS. Mr. ROSE complained of foam inacettracies in the public accounts of the LsR year laid before the Houle, from which it was impoffible w draw aka or corral conclufion, upon a companion of the IA with the preceding year ; for by one fiatement it would appear there had been a confiderable deficit in the lan year, while by another it was Rated there was a cnnfiderable exceeding. Mr. VANSITTART Ed& he was convinced, if the Right Hnn. Gentleman had accurately examined the accounts laid upon the table, he would have found there was no juR ground for the complaint he Rated, a; every account whatever, relattie to the year, was either laid upon the table, or ready to be tubmiued to the Houle. SILT,II. The Houfe refolvedotrelf into * Committee of Ways and Means, Mr. Alexander in the Chair, The C H A NCELLOR oftheEXCHEQPER role, and Rated, that, on a former day, he had apprised the Houfe of his intention to move. in the Committne oftrays and means, this day, a vole for eleven ma. lions, to be railed by Examiner Bills, to discharge the coin:lading Exchequer Bills not 'provided for, and to replace thole which would, by fuch means, be withdrawn from the market. Since that notice, a conference had been held with perliass on the part of the Bank ; it was propofed by the Bank to defer the payment of a million and a half till next year, toward the renewal of the Bank Charter, which had been agreed tn, fo that it would be neceffory only to mile nine millions and a half. This he would propofe to do by two Bills : the one for railing eight millions. and the other for a millioa and a half. He felt it necessary, at the fame time, to date, that there was no intention of funding any part of the ofaltanding Exchequer Bills. and to fay all°, that there were no Exchequer Bills now ostßandlng of an older date than of the sth of April, aka. He chncladed by moving two Rerilutions, agreeable to his ftatemeat- Mr. JOHNSTONE thought the film propofed was much greater than was nectfrary, as it appeared from the papers on the table, that of the eighteen millions of Exchequer Bills that had been iffued,only 1,400,n001. had been paid, which left a balance dill e:tant of 16,600,0001. which, with Come other fume he hated, made up the fum 24,600,0001. railed laft year. Of the extant fum it was propofed to pay off eleven millions; and now it was propofed to iffue eight millions more, and leave a million and a half in the flank. There were seven millions betides, ha would admit, in the Bank, tinder dilierent ads, that would not come into the market hat Rill, he con tended. there would be fixteen millions afloat, which he confidered a great deal too mirth. Beides, it was much too early in the Se lion to resort to this mode of railing money, and contrary to the precedent of Lit year. when the Right :lon. flewlernan did not propnie his Exchequer Bill Loan till the 13th of July. at which time it was only propore,l to iffue five mil linna was neceflary for the Houfe to be acquainted, in the ISO infianre, with the hudget for the year, in order ti judge whether the Ways and Means were liLely to bear out the propriety c! the relent modulo. for MCC Al as In 3P 3P 41 1 SP IN feq cul del ow Dc int Bu tcl Oil ha , Th
