• w, _ • lite was neielfary in the prefent times, even Wilt Should not becarried into operation. It was his opi nion, that with proper conciliation and management. the Militia and Volunteers might thereby be rendered a fecond line of the army. He was not perfeely lure Cud it would be expedient to put the Bill in caeca. tion at prefent. whillt the Volunteers were embodied on Such an extenfive kale. But though he agreed in the principle, he could not give his silent to thin Bill in its prefent fhape, bemire fo far from aiding k would lay a reßraint upon the prerogative oU tbe Crown. He could fee no reafon for limiting the opw ration of the Bill to South Britain, and unlefs foam good reafons Should be affigned, he Should move an amenthnent, to infert " Great Britain." inflead of England, and take the fenfe of the Committee upon it. No difference had been made between Scotland and En land, in the Bills which this profeffed to to. peal. If the difference made in the prefent Bill Should bejußified on the efficiency of the Scotch Vo. hmers. he had only to fay, that the greater part of . thole Volunteers were on the fame allowances whide were to be withdrawn, and that there was reafon to 'apprehend from thence that their numbers would he diminiffied. As he could not conceive any Rom, rearm; why the berthen of a mecum which was hi. tended for general bene fi t Should be confined is South Britain, he moved that the words "Great Bei. taut" be inferted inftead of " England." Mr. Secretary WINDHAM laid, it was thou I by Minill ere, that to a very great part of Scotland Lill would - nut apply — the Hi g hl an d s , partici: • which were very thinly peopled, but whore peop e were naturally of a very warlike and military turn, mach more fo than in this part of the kingdom.— They thought alto, that as the greatell part of the Volunteers in Scotland were under the June, or larger allowances, that it would have a very confide table effect on that body 1 and being only a Bill of. exreriment, they thought it belt to keep it within as i narrow a Seale as poffible, and that was the reafon which made him Rate, that it was not intended to/ emend the Bill to Scotland this year. e k Sir JAMES PULTENEY was not aware of any ( ' reafon why the Bill Should not extend to Scotland as well as England. Though the Bill was inapplicable to the Weflern Highlands,it was as applicable to the Lowlands as to any part of Englard, and he, there. fore, though fupporting the principle of the naeafure, protefled againft the erclufion of Scotland from its operation. Mr. PERCIVAL hoped the Right Henourable Se cretary would not think it yet too late to agree to his Right Hon. Friend's amendment. The latenefs of the feffion might be an argument againft the Bill, if ft was now &II brought forward. The Bill was equally inapplicable to part• of Wales and Cumber land, as to the Highlands, and yet that was not a reaftin why thefe dißriets Should be exempted. Colonel WOOD thought it better to try the expe riment in this country firft, and wait another year be fore it Should be extended to Scotland, with a view to akertain its operation. Mr. CALCRAFT could not admit the validity of the chic/lions againft confining the operation of A the Bill to England. The machinery of the Aft of ''' 1803 had 'never been put in operation, and he believed that it never Sad been the. intention of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Yorke) to carry it. into emu. tion. His Right Hon. Friend {Mt. - Secretary -1 Windham) he was fine meant to put this Bill into operation. and there was no redemption of the fee vice. Colonel BASTARD would feel as confident in . leaving the defence of England to the Englifh Vo lunteers, as that of Scotland to the Scotch Volun teers, becaufe they had Shewn as much real, loyalty, and patriotifm, as any Set of men could. He did not know!that this Bill, which profeffed to mile men, ought not to be called a Money Bill, from the fines it impofed. It did not appear to him why the Bill Should not be extended to Scotland. The former Bill, if put into force, moll have been put into exe cution at the point of the bayonet. It was very hard that the Volunteers of Scotland, who were kept up at a very extravagant expenee, Should exempt that country from the burden of this meaffire, while the Volunteers of England, the meaneß of whom contri buted to the eflablifhment, Should not obtain the r . fame exemption for their country. Mr. Secretary WINDHAM, in explanation, Rat ed, that the difference in the fituatien of the two countries was fufficient to jai& the exclufion of Scotland for the prefent, though not permanently. Befides, the Militia Bill was to be confined to Eng land, and confequently the ballot would be Rill en force in Scotland. Lord CASTLEREAGH did not think the tea font advanced by the Right Honourable Gentleman falisfadory. if this was an experiment, it might be tried on a narrower fcale ; for inflame, in the county (Norfolk) with which the Right Hon. Gentleman was more particularly connelted. He agreed with his Hon. Friend (Colonel Ballard) that this was more of a Money Bill than the Bill that bad been called the NIA Bill, and could not confent that the preflure Should be confined to England. • Mr. WHITBREAD thought it extraordinary for . Gentlemen to go fo much into the principle, which might be dikulTed in future Rages. The Bill only provided, in the fiat inflance, for the enrolment of the individuals, and left it afterwards to his Majef k ty's difcretion what proportion was to be trained.— He did not think that the lower defcription of per. lons would pay the fine of five pounds rather than receive twenty-four Shillings for twenty-four days training. The reafons of his Right Hon. Friend for not extending this Bill to Scotland were to him per fedtly fatisfatiory. Mr. BANKES was ferprifed at the exemption of Scotland from this meafure. There was lets of com mon fenfe in the principle of putting one part of the kingdom on a different footing from the other than he could call to mind in any public meafure. The benefit and the burthen ought, in his opinion, to be eqwally difpenfed to both, and he was Pure the bur then would he more grievoufly felt, from the confi. deration that it was partial. It had been laid that the experiment was to be tried fiat in a confined kale: " Fiat Experimentuin In Carport vili." —Was England a fmall furface ? Was it that vile part in which this experiment was firft to be tried He admitted the zeal, the Spirit and loyalty of the '-4-otch Volunteers, but he lamented the manner in o Such they had teen invidkwjly and groundkfily let .1) , ..ve the Volunteers of England. What was there in the Scotch Volunteers to puce. them .atove-t.hore. of England ? C erta i nly nothing e i ther i n sea l. , loyalty, or alacrity to pre% forivekd in the moment of danger. As a compenfation was Allowed for Or' vice, they could not reckon upon any number of men 'to be railed under the prefent Bill, and he thought it likely that the fines would be paid in a much larger proportion than was afpeßed, or would be defirable i fur the public defence. As to the latenefs of the kr. lion, he could only fay, that there appeared no need'. fity fur fo grnft, to apparent, fo palpable an injuflice. On all thefe ground s he fh ou ld v o f e for the amendment. Colonel EYRE fhnuld not Vote for the amend. ment, beesinfe if the Bill, as it appeared to him, would be onjult and oppreffive in its operation, he could not content to extend it to another part of the kingdom. What neceffity called for the meafure ? If it was any relaxation in the zeal of the country, this Bill would ettinguilh it altogether. He Gould not only vote againa the Amendment, but vote againft the Bill in every other Rage. Mr. CHARLES WYNNE defended the meafbre. He jullified the fines, by Rating that the individitals had an option ; whereas in the cafe of the Pala Bill, penalties were incurred which could not be paid, and forfailure of duties which jt way impoffible to perform. Lord BINNING thought that whatever good or inconvenience, whatever benefit or burthen was to rdult from the mediae, ought to be extended equally to both countries. He was aware that the diaimila rity of laws and other eiretimflanees would place a difference between the countries ' but was foul to find s tbialratuitous diflinEtion propofed ; he thould vote .fintha amendment. • Cefonel MAMIEWSfaid, that from the opinion he ehtertained of the Bill, it would be fir very fhort an experiment, that it was not worth while to extend it to Scotland. Mv.HUSKISSON and Mr.CALCRA FT thought, that the Bill could not, upon any principle of fairnefa, have a limited operation upon England only. Mr. WINDHAM Paid, it would be unfair now to extend the menhirs to Scotland, as the Gentlemen who reprefented that part of the country were abfent. Mr. YORKE laid, he Ihould certainly take the , fence of the Houle on the queßion. Not a word had been advanced to Phew why the country from Aber. deed to Glafgow and Edinburgh, comprifing one of the moll opulent parts of the kingdom, Ihould be exempted. He had never underflood that there would be insurmountable difficulties to the operation of Inch a Bill in Scotland, any more than there were in Wales, Weßmoreland, Cumberland, the North Riding of Yorkfhire, and other dittriels ; but if there really were, why could not the peace ellablifhment of the militia be reforted to in the Highlands, or the men be arociated under this Bill for 24 days together, in fome ceutral pofition Mr. RYDER Paid, that no poffible objection could be advanced againft the extenfion of the Bill to all see Lowlands of Scotland ; and, of the Highlands, Diunbatton, Perthfhire, and other parts, were ins. aitely more populous than many dill' iels of England. The Fissure then divided on the Amendment pro poled by Mr. Yorke—Ayes, 38—Noes, 76—Majo it!, 311. The original Claufe was then agreed tn. 1 1 In the clay& regulating the returns under the MI, Mr-YORKE propofed the introdullion of the words usregard being had to the number of Volunteers -aeltially enrolled and (crying in the counties." This produced a long converfation. in the mitre I .of which, Mr. WINDHAM Paid, that it was intend. ed to give to his Majefly the power of enrolling zoo,ooo meh in addition to the number of Volunteers that might continue to be embodied, but that the authority would poffibly not be embraced to the ex tent of training that number. The returns of perfons liable to the feryice were to be made out from thole who were liable to ferve under the Militia Bill, which was then in progrefs through the Houfe. Mr. YORKE's amendment was at length adopted. . The eltufe relating to the time allowed for train ing, and fat giving his Majefly a power to call out the 'trained men, in cafe of invafion, being read, Vifeount CASTLEREAGH (aid, it was a matter chit required much confideration, and as it was then a late hour, he thought it much better that the Chair man Ihould report progrefs, and the claufe be difeutred to-morrow.—This propotiti. n was agreed to, and Ilse Chairman reported progreli, and obtained leave to lit again to-morrow.—Adjoorned at Twelve o'clock.
