Mr. SHERIDAN rofe for the purl:lore of prefent ing a Petition from three Gentlemen, namely, Hen ry Borges, Efq. of Curzon-fireft, • May Fair, Mr. Damon, and Mr. Giles, whole condua had been feverely implicated in the bufinefs of the late Elec tion for Lifkeard—as well in the language of a pe tition yelterday prefented to the Houfe from Mr. flidiciffon, complaining of an undue elation and re turn ft.r that Borough, as in the language of a Right Hon. Gentleman who prefented that petition, Mr. W. Dunclas, by whom it was imputed to thefe Gen tlemen, that an arrant nick had been played, and cheats had been prat - tiled, with a view to keep Mr. Flulkiffon out of the Houle, and to bring Mr. T. Sheridan into it. He had only to lay, that he under liood Mr. Damon to be a man of very fair, Pimple, and refpthable charaaer. Mr. Burgefs, an agent upon that elation, was a Gentleman certainly of very high tefpatability in his profeffson ; and Mr. Child, one of the burgeffes of Lifkeard, was a man alit) of molt refpatable charatter, and who, upon a resent °coition, received the unanimous thanks of the whole body of the Magifirates of the county of Cornwall. Thofe men, therefore, naturally hurt at the imputations which had been thrown upon their conduit by the petition of Mr. Hufkiffun, and the language of his advocates, only prayed in this pe tition, that the Houfe would not come to any de cifion to their injury, without hearing them in their defence. Mr. W. DUNDAS Paid, that with relpea to what the Hon. Member bad imputed to him, what he Rata merely was, that a grofs trick had 'ken played on the return made in this cafe, and obvioufly wnh a view to deprive Mr. Hufkiffon of his right to a feat in that houfe ; this he hated from what al). peared upon the face of the return ; and if the pro ceedings about to be adduced did not fully bear i in) out in the affection, he Ihould be tu.•ll ready to apologize to anyjnan by whom his language n^i ; ja be felt as injurious.—The Petition wasreceiv•zil, and ordered to lie on the table.

WYNNE lamented that the Honfe had entertained the difettam, or gone into the e zamiaa• then upon thole documents, beeaule it opened a door to dilcullions which belnitgot properly to a Com mittee ; and if once the Houle fhould indulge the habit of entertaining fifth debates, it would take the tenfold. out of the jiarildißion of Committees, where the law had wifely placed it, and let in attain ..)I the mil - chiefs which it was the object of Mr. Grenville's AR to obviate. With tefpeß to the arguments of the Right Han. Gentleman, of the liabi:ity of She riffs to make double returns, and embarrafs the Houle, and its lawful Members, with frivolous and vexatious comets, he liemed to forget that the Sheriffs, by fo doing. would incur the liabiiity of be ing fent to Newgate by that Houle, and of being caft in aCtions at law, with double cods. Mr SHERIDAN agreed with the Hon. Member who fpoke tail, and (*Vented, that fume llrnng gunge had been held towards an Hun. Relation of his, in the affertion, that an endeavour had been made to keep Mr. Hufkiffon out of the Houfe; but he felt it his duty to deny the fail, and to fay, his Hon. Relation had taken no interference whatever in the return made by the Sheriff; and, in fail, all that lie willed was, that the matter fhould be fairly examined, and Mr. Hufitiffon as fpeedily as poffible put in polreffion of his right. The Hon. Gentleman had faid ; indeed, that if the Houle fhould not be I convinced, from the documents now before it, that his charge of tricks and cheats were founded, he would be ready to apologize to the parties injured by Inch language. He hoped he would, and that he fhould lb rely have an opportunity. The Honourable Mem. ber. too, had charged him with ufing warm lan-, {nage, and fehooling the Houfe upon doarines of ;.w. The Honourable Gentleman had on this point been pretty liberal of his temperate froerities, andfoft "Perk,. He owned he was fumetimer, in the habit 4.luting warm language. but it was only when he en &avow edto lupport his opinion againfl the power ful eloquence of (tech antagonias as the Right Host. Geflll.Mall. As to fchooling the Houle upon points 4 , 1 law, lb humble were his opinions of his own qualifi cations for that purpofe, that he would even fubmit to be refloated by. and be thankful to receive in : Ili-naives from the Right Hon. Gentleman, who, however, certainly had not borrowed from him that leifon of magnanimity which taught him to attack the characters of mankind behind their hacks, when they had not an bpportuuity of vindicating them- Irises. But with reference to the law upon this cafe, he would, notwithflanding the confident opinions of the Right Hon. Gentleman, venture to maintain, that the letter and fpirit of the Grenville AR was as clearly mandatory upon the Houfe to fend this cafe to et Committee, as in any cafe that ever occur :ed. He then moved, that the claufe in the Gren. ville AR he read, w:tich requires that when any petition, complaining of an undue return, ( ball he prefented to the Houle, that the Houfe (b all; forth with appoint a day to take the fame into conlidera. tion ; which being read, Mr. Sheridan proceeded to read the words of the Petition, which fpecifically c,.niplained of an undue return; from which he contended, it was as clear as words could ex prefs a meaning, and faid, he Ihould take flame to himfelf for having wafted fo much of the time of the Home, in reafoning on a point In palpable to the molt humble onderltanding. Mr. Sheridan Rated in point the Hehlone cafe. Mr. WM. DUNDAS replied fomewhat picquant ly to Mr. Sheridan. He totally difclaimed any per- Irma' ;Million whatever towards Mr. Thomas Sheri dan, in any thing he had raid ; glanced at Mr. She ridan's ellufion as a lawyer ; reminded him of his having been himfelf bred to the profelfion ; and warned him, that whenever he made fuel; allufinas again to him, be would pay him off in his own coin. Mr. SHERIDAN affured the Hun. Member, he never till that moment. knew that he had been bted to the Law ; for his own part he was ready to ac knowledge he had, fu far as keeping CWIIIIIOII4 and being c.llcd to the Bar ; and he willed he had psi-- fevered. As to the Hon. Gentleman's talking of giving him suarriag," and of 4. paying him gin his own coin," he would not pretend to fay how far filch language was Parliamentary ; all, however, that he pretended to was, a plain underliauding, and a with to !Import his opinion with integrity, and a reafonable (hare of common fettle ; and to long as the Right lion.

Colonel CRAUFURD animadvetted on the prin. ciple and provitihns of the Volunteer fyflem, which he obleteed itad been termed by its advocates, a dc licate machine, and truly fo it was, and. therefore a very bad inn) timdat for war. The foundation of thi • fyllem he cot:ads-tea to he had, arth the fuperftrut Lure to be extremely deft live. The Hon. Gentletno. in the courfe of his ipeech, took n•-'.'cot the ordo-t laid to be itfued to deftroy-the nr:tr;rron • that nsig'n he likely, in the event of invafi tn. I. fall into thsi hands of the enemy. This he ruin Owed, as a dif. graceful and barbarous dire:lion, a. one calculated to inflict a ferious injury on ourftives. merely to.pee: vent a poffible benefit from ariting to the enemy. After a loud cry of queftioa I queftion I from the Minillerial Benches, Mr. WINDHAM coddled, that he felt no furprire at the uneafinef. which Minitlers betrayed by their cry for the queftion to get rid of the meafure befoul the Houfe. It had certainly given them much %roue We, and was likely to give them and the country much more. They might, however, Rate, as a jufti fication for the filence which they feemed willing to preferve upon this occafion, that all the arguments ufed by his Hon. Friend, who had juft fat down, had been advanced before. This might be for the mok part true. but he would afk, whether thofe argue meets had ever been anfwered,and whether they did not remain entirely unrefuted 1 If 10, then they ought to he repeated, in order, if potable, to perfuade the pertinacious adherents of this dangerous fyftem to yield to their force, and to rcfort to meafures more confonant to wifdons and calculated to fee= the fafety of the country. But, perhaps, Ministers bad exhaufted their eloqu:nce upon this fubjed, and that being tired of amendment and re-amendment. of commitmentand roicommitmentof prnpofitions and recantations, they were anxious to fendthe meafure out of the Houfe,witfi out any more wordsabout it. To their wilhes,however. he was not difpofed to yield, and as this was perha the laft opportunity of ipeaking upon this Bill, h o would avail himfelf of it to enter his folemn protek againft a meafure which he thou ht. if petalled in. would lead to abfolute ruin. This fentence,however hunt, he could not heatate to prouounce. as the foill conviftion of his mind. The Houle, he obfetved, bad never yet taken a diftinft view of this queftion. The point material •to be confidered was, not fo much what had been done towards the defence of the em pire, as what had not been done. By the fyftem to which this Bill referred, no one could lee that any thing had been aceomplithed of a nature that entitled it to praife. It could noure pretended that it railed the volunteers. for had nothing refpefting it ever erilled, no man could venture to alien that we &fluid have had no volunteers. This fyftem produced no advantage to the volunteers, while it materially in• jured our regular force, and threatened to entail the muff extenfive miCchids on the country. It was pro felled to have principally in view the improvement of the volunteers in military difcipline, a very defirable objet no doubt ; but ;that had the claufe of exemp tions to do with difcipline 1 To expunge that chafe would remove a very important oblation to this Bill, and it was abfurd to fay, that to withdraw that boon 'ty from the volunteers, would be injurious or unlua. It might to be lure tend to diminilh the number of the volunteers, but in return, how much would it add to the real flrength of the country ? The great argument ufed in fupport of this Bill is, that under the prefect circumflances, the volunteers forming our main force for the defence of the country, their im provement ought to be the &ft objea of our atten tion; but without Rapping to enquire why or how the volunteers bad thus become our principal force, or difputing the propriety of communicating to them ,every poOlble improvement, he would all:, whether the Bill then under confideration was calculated at all to improve the volunteer fyftem. and even if it were. whether that improvement, or any of which the Wiens was fulceptible, was not inliznificant in value, com pared to the price which the country was obliged to pay for it. in tolerating the exigence of that (Peen The whole of this cafe, es it appeared to him, might he refolved into three pi opolitions ; IR, whether this Bill was calculated to improve the volunteer fyilem whether, while we w.oe improving this fyftem, we were not cutting up our real military ilrength ? and, thirdly, whetter there was time enough to new model our public farce, and thus to prepare it againli the dangers which menaced us ? Upon each of thefe oropolitions the Right lion Gentleman dilated much at large ; and, in his cootie. took particular notice of the affertions hi often made by the fupp..iters of this Bill—that the danger which threatened us was loch that we Ihritil aa as if it were contain ; and that this danger was to tranfeendent this , nothing fkould be put in corrosethioowi.l; the means of providing againd it.
