2 divillon, at it one net likely, from the fpecimens already afforded, that the Minifters would alter their opinion. 'Dr. LAWRENCE Gid, he would not oppore the Monter:, but give them time to reeunfider their error.. Mr. FOX declared, that never in his life had he before the misfortune In little to underhand the Right Hon. Gentlemen. lie could perceive no ufe in fill ing up a claufe, which, after all, would be no more than fo much wage paper, and if it was omitted, the Minifters might afterwards take their choice, whether they would perfevere in the meafure or not. By fill. ing np the claufe, they fliould confider in what atti- tude the Parliament and the Volunteers would Rand in the interval between this and the final determina tion on the fubjett. After fosse further remarks, the Committee di vided on the claufe, For it tot—Again} it 87—Majority 14. After a converfation between Mr. Yorke, Mr. Pitt, and Mr. F..x, the Chancellor of the Exchequer pro pofed, that the term of fourteen days Ihould be fpe cified for any Volunteer who chofe to refign, in order to give notice of his determination. This amendment was put and . carried. Refpeeling the claufe which exempted Volunteers from the hair-powder tax, it was agreed, that the following words lhould be inferted after hair-powder When he (hall ceafe to be a Member of a Volunteer Corps, he (hall not be ex empted."—Mr. Pitt, in alluding to the two guineas to be allowed each Member of a Corps which (hall march alum the appearance of an enemy, or for im proving thernfelves in military difcipline, thought that no objedion could be made to granting them.

An additional bounty of one guinea ought to be granted to thofe who fhotild ferve in either df thole wrys; . ceconomy in what regarded the fafety of the country wa , imprudent, if not dangerous. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did certainly fed the importance of (economy, but fhould not make any facrifice of die lateral of the country from any fuch motive. 1 General Maitland, Mr. Yorke, and Mr. Pitt made feversl obfervations on. this point ; after which Sir Wm. Pulteney recommended drift attention to men nomrs and differed widely from the Right Hon. Gentleman under the gallery (Mr. Pitt), with regard to the expenditure which lie thought neceffary. He feared that a long time would clapfe before the coon try would forget the profusion of his adminiaration. • Mr. WINDHAM thould agree with his Right Hon. Friend under the gallery, re:peeling an addi tional bounty to Volunteers, if he could induce him fell to think that he .ecured the country by fuch a rneafure. What was to be gained by limb a plan ?—, Not the fafety of the country, as his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Pitt) expeeted, but the mere chance of Grey, and tt,e quellion then would be, whether this chance was b ..;-ht at too ; igh a rate, or may nor be purc.hafed -ter terms? In illuflration of this opinion, the Rig.' is. Member inftanced many uf:s to which mor.
