OF LORD::, MONDAY, AUGUST io. The Irith Salt Duty, Curates' Relief and General Delancey's Fftate Bills, were brought up from the Commons, and read a firs time A Mort converfatinn tank place on the firft reading of the Co rates' Relief Bill, in cons cpwricepf the Duke of NORFOLK intimat ing that ht fhould.move to poilpone the fecond reading fur three mo-ths; but on an extianation from Lord SIDAIOUTH and the I ORD CHANCELLOR, that the objedt of the Bill waa POI to enadt new law, but to fufpend till 23 days after the meeting of next Par liament the penalties a•tached to Beneficed Clerytymen who had accepted certain defcriptiors of Curacio, the Noble Duke fignified that he ihould not ptrfi:t in his intended motion. _ _ The Duke of NORFOLK moved, that the Re port of the Bill for augmenting the flipend of the Red. r of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, be taken into c-nfideration, with the view of propofing that the Bill fh .ulrl be rejeeted. He it7peated his ob jetlions to ;tie ground (fated in the preamble, name ly, the increafed price of provilions, as - being equally applicable to scoo parifhes in this country. He fhould be glad t -) fee fame general meafure of relief introduced ; but loch a Bill as the prefent, operating partially, he regarded as an unjuft encroachment on the private property of the parifhioners. Had the meafure, as formerly reprefented, been the refult of the fuffrages of a great maiority of the parifhioners, he might be induced to withdraw any oppofition to it, on the c , ndition that fuch content fhould be al ledged in the preamble. But, on inquiry, he found that dye parifh by no means, generally, approved of the meafure. Of this, fufficient evidence was Rated on the face of the Report. The LORD CHANCELLOR reminded the Houle of what he had Paid two years luxe with re ' fpeel to the London Clergy Relief Bill, to thew that he was alive to the impropriety of palling partial mea fares of this defcription. He certainly underflood, that the relent Bill was brought forward with the content of the parifh. He had not had leifure to per ufe the Report, and he only requefted time to fee what evidence bad come our before the Committee. The A RC HBISHOPof CANTERBURY thought that the Lill fhould not proceed, unl!fs it had the ge neral approbation of the patilhioners, of which he expreffed Tome doubts. However defirous to pro mote the interests of the Clergy, he certainly could not approve of any thing which trenched nn the pro rerty cf the laity, any more than he caul(' aftent to a meafure which fhould have the effeit of infringing the 'pa rights c.f the Clergy. The Duke of NORFOLK contented to withdraw his motion. The LORD CHANCELLOR brought in a Bill for the better adminiltration of Juilice in Scotland. He briefly Itated the pcints in which it differed from the projed of the late Minifters, the chief variation being that of dividing the Court of Segion into two intlead of three Chambers. His only objeet at pre fent was, that it Ihould be read a firlt time and then printed, and circulated for the opinion of thofe who were chiefly intorefled in it. Lord SELKIRK took occafion to flare generally his views of what alterations wcre moll eligible in the aiminifitation of juflice in Scotland. He de cidedly approved of the divifion into three Chambers. _ _ Lord LAUDERDALE faid, he had received pe, titions from the Corporation of Glafgow, praying for the extedion to Scotland of the Trial by Jury, in civil cafes. He was not aware that the Bill would be introduced this evening, otherwife he would have beca prepared to prefent thole petitions. The Bill was read a fira time. • Lord STANHOPE laid, that previous to tbeir Lord(hips' going into the Order of the Day, he uld trouble them with giving notice of a motion on a fobjeet, even of far greater importance than the order of the day. His motion related to the fitnation in which we flood with regard to North America. It he fhould underhand that any Noble Lord, high in his Majefly', Councils, law the matter in the fame light as he did, he would not perlift in his notice. His Lordfhip having enlarged fomewhat farther on the importance, at this critical moment, of preferving our conneetion with America, and cherifhing the molt friendly intercourfe with all neu tral nations, Rated that his intended motion was to this effect: Refolved, that the principle of equality and complete reciprocity lhould regulate the conduCt of this country with regard to neutral States, and with all nations with whom we were at peace." Here his Lordfhip paufeJ for a few feconds, in the expeaation of fbme remark from the Noble Lords on the Ministerial bench, but none of them baying rifen, he gave notice, that he &bold bring on his motion on Thurfday, for which, day the Houk was ordered to be fummoned. MILITIA TRANIfTPIt CLL. On the Order of the 1) t v for the tecond reading of the Militia Transfer Bull being read, Lord HAWKESBURY rofe, and, in his -exor dium, took a curfory view of the pollure of Europe, under the late chances, and its prefent notation, as .Iffened by the battles of Jena and Friedland, and by the peace of Tilfit. From evety rational con templa.ion of the fubjeft, whatever doubts might be entertained in other refpeels, it was perfdtly clear that the dangers to which this country was n w ex pofe.l front continental hodility, was greater than at any former period and it was far from being con. folatory to relief), that when a greater force WAS required for the public defence, the military nrength of the empire was inferior not only to what it ought to have hem, hut to its aelual condition at a very recent date. In addition to this circumflance, it was to be recolleBed, that a confiderable portion of the difpolable force was engaged on remote fervice. In Inch a predicament, it was neceffary to take imme diate Reps for the increafe of the Regular Army; and if, to effeel this important purpnfe, it were in evitable to have recourfe to compulflon, coercive expedients fhnuld be retorted to in a manner that would he lead oppreflive ta the people. The ordi nary recruiting was wholly inadequate to produce the augmentation required : it could indeed hardly be deemed competent to meet the annual deficit, efpecially when the foreign fervices were adver•ed to. From June 1805 to June 18c6, the number thus ob tained was 20,130 ; from June 1806 to June 1807, the number was only 17,713, making a deficiency in the comparifon of the two years met iting particu lar attention. It was true, that, forming the eiii mate in the fame year from June iBo6 to January 1807, and onward to June again, the number was in favour of the latter: in the one, 10,783, its the other, 11,412 were railed. The ratio was again le verfed, and the former had the advantage, if the number of boys were included in the computation. Whea the extraordinary exertions in the fervice were taken into the account, by the prodigitsus increafe in the number of recruiting parties, a confiderable aug mentation would have been no matter of alionifh ment ; and particularly when it was remembered that threats were employed, that if the fecund battalions did not produce a certain number fpecified, they would be reduced. One boafted effea of the late regulations was, that defertions would be diminifhed; this, however, was not the truth ; Come difference in the number of deferters had occurred, but it was againft the late fyftem of reform. In jutlice to thole who recommended the alterations, it mud be ac knowledged, that they did not pretend it would produce any fudden change ; they look,:d more to the p rmanent than to the immediate effeel. In this condition of public affairs, and in fuch a fituation of military arrangement, it was abfolutely neceffary that tome great effort fhould be made, either by Come new meafure, or by relenting to Come former projcel, conducive to the augmentation required. There were but two meafures that occurred to his Majedy's Miniders, and they had been maturely confidered ; the one was to open the Regular Army to the Mili:ia, and the other to refort to the Army of Referee Bill j of 1803. The former appeared to him to be the more wife plan, and by it 38,0ca0 men would be added to the. Line, perfectly competent to difcharge the duties which would he there required.: His Lord fhip here Rated the general fcheme of the Bill, which we have before detailed, by which 36,000 men were to be railed for Great Britain, and 8000 for Ireland. He next adverted to the Volunteer force, and con tended that the additional allowances propofed were nectfraty to maintain its ltrength. Infinding Officers were indifpenfable to the difcipline and orgar ization of !rich a body; and in the moment of danger, it could not be employed with any Comparative ad vantage, unlefs Government could receive informa tion from loch perfons, on the dirdlion that Mould be given to their fervices. Such was the arrange. ment in Ireland, where the Yeomanry, a molt re fpdlable corps, had their Brigade Majors to fulfil the like duties. It was not only material to give ' prefent encouragement to the Volunteers, hut it was deniable that they fhould be formed into a perma nent fyflem. Some method mutt be ad 'red, by i which the great mafs of the population of ole king idom (hould be converted into a military body, and Ifor this pnrpofe it might be difcreet to provide that where the number of Volunteers did not equal fix times the number of the Militia, the Training A a fhnuld be put in force. His Lordfhip concluded with fume general obfervations on the utility and im portance of the Bill, and with infilling on the pro priety of giving the men enlifling into the army the (lotion either of entering for limited or unlimited duty, which would fecure every poffible advantage, without involving all the mifchief incident to the former. Lord SIDMOUTH perfeelly concurred with the Noble Baron, that the ordinary recruiting would be wholly inadequate to meet the prefent exigency of the times. He all() agreed that fume compedfory meafirre would be necefrary, to place the force of the country on a proper eflabliffiment. But while he united in fentiment thus far, he with regret acknnw. ledged that the plan proposed was not commenfurate to the difficulties with which we had to encounter. The main objeCt of his Noble Friend was to aug. ment the difpofable force ; but in his own mind it ' was much more effential to provide for internal de fence. He feemed to contemplate a remote danger only, when there exifled that which was preffing and immediate ; and the more fo, becaufe the military firength of the empire had been cunfiderably dimi niffied. In 1804 there were 182,000 difciplined CU diets, 5000 fea fencibles, and 4t0.0f'.0 volunteers.— From the Chores of the Elbe to the fouthern extremity of Europe, Napoleon was Row mailer of tiro whole maritime power of the Continent—fuck a fituation called for exertion, Toto ammo, tot° corpore regni."— Was the prefent meafure in any degree calculated to anfwer that demand ? By this !theme, 28,000 men were to enter the army from the militia ; the ballot was to be for 44,000-36,000 for Britain, Soco for Ireland. Two years ago, 17,000 were required from the militia, and only 14,000 were obtained ; yet now it was expeCteel to acquire 28,c00, arid from only 77,000 militia. The probability was, that the con tlitutional defence of the realm would be difturbed, without completing the °hie& for which it was dif organifed. On three occasions, the Militia Officers had been called neon to refign their men for the re gular fervice, and they had done it in a manner that !conferred non then the Mghefl k molt oppreffive la their honourable fee:inzs to called upon to make Inch a 'facrtfice. when. inlea,!,- p r om-ri ng , it would diminifh the ces of n tri o; a t defence.

The French at mks traverfed &none fr.rn the Maine and the Rhine to the banks of the Viflula, in the fhwt (race of two months, and, in their progref t ; clothed one of the pre.trelt military powers co the Continent.

Lord BORINGDON replied to the ollervatimis of the laIL speaker, and a.iproved of ttte principle of the Bill as offering the Intl means of 1'11;11% ing a large force in a limited time, lie aifappri , ved, hew. ever, of that clank in the Bill, which did away one of the greatefl improvement• that had hcen yet in. troduced into the military fet vice of the country, that of enlitlment fir term of years. Lord DE DUNSTANVILLE, though not in the habit of agreeing with Minifters, returned his thanks to them for cowing forward with any roe:dine h.ch they conceived would be advantageous for the cowl.. try. He could not, however, avoid expreging his difapprobation of that clanfe in the Bill, wlich left it at the option of the man balloted f it the to enlitt in the regular army. He would have prefetted the Army of RJerve A& to the relent meafine, lord SELKIRK difappt oved of the meafure, as wholly inadequate to the gigantic magnitude of the danger by which we wet e menaced. He was of opini n that the Levy en Male At would have hem a much tore efficacious'tineafure, and he withei reecutfe were had to it. The queflion having been put, that the Bill be read a fecond time, a divition took place. Contents 42—Non contents Is—Majority 27.

Mr. MAGENS rofe to call the attention of the Houk to the I prerent hate M the Weil India l rade. The price of the comma dities imported from the Weft India Colonies was not augtrented in proportion to the great increafe of the duties kid upon them-- The price was, ueverthelefs, fo high, as to cheek the home eon fumption at a time when the exportation of foreign countries was ahrudt at4foluttly prevented. The consequence was. that there was now a illtplUs Of too 001 ho:fheads of fugar, which could no: find a i•norket. He thr.uplit that it w. - s the duty of the Houle, when they impoted loch high duties on articles of colonial product, to take care that the Weil loclia Merchants and planters might fill be allowed to make a fair profit from their capital employed in dux trade. If we could not open the foreign market, to the produco of our colouie,, he thought it became the duty of Parli orient to take ineafures for inereafing the home confumption, which could heft he done by din.inithitz the duties, which would confAuently lower the pric:. It was his with to cAI the attention of Parlir ment to this important lei St early in the next Salton.
