the Volunteers in Ireland, Or the competence they had every where (hewn to contend with an enemy ; and that Taft numbers of them had for years been on permanent duty f With refped to the (fate of ddci. plane of the prefent Vs:homers at this moment, from every thing he could learn, namely, from the Gene ral and Field Officers, who, every where throughout the kingdom, had infpetted and reviewed them, he had no doubt in his mind, that thole gallant Corps were even at this moment, if it were necelfary, in loch a Rate of difcipline as to be fit to incorporate theft with the troops of the line and militia, and to march againft the veteran troops of France : for the refult of fuch a conteft upon their native foil, he had no dif couraging apprehenfions. Mr. PITT anfwered, that in fpeaking of the im. perfect ditcipline of a very great portion indeed of the Volunteers, he by no means alluded to thofe brilliant Corps in the metropolis and its vicinity, whole Rate of difcipline was fo highly and fo jtstily praifed by every Officer of experience who had teen them under arms in the field. He meant to allude to the country Corp., a very great portion of whom had been but very lately entered, and had neither the time nor the opportunity, as yet, of perfecting their dikipline. He agreed in the policy of not liking any thing by doing ton much in the way of regulation ; bin he was hill more averfe to rifting a great deal more by doing too little. Any apprebenfions he entertained for Bro. tam Volunteers fighting on their own foil, with a fo. reign foe, were not founded upon any queftion of their valour, but on their dikipline ; and Cutely it Vas the duty of the Government to employ the (bort interval now left, and that he was perfuaded it would be, in rendering that difcipline as peeled as poffible, fo at to render the colaftid, whenever it fhould arife, as &on and decifive as poffible, and with as little lots as poffible of thole valuable and gallant lives, and of that precious blood with which - Parliament was en trufted. The SECRETARY at WAR called the attention tit the Committee back from the (Oen of general ar gument, upon a principle different entirely from the elude now before them, and opon which only their decifion was now called for.
