The Duke of NORFOLK said, it bad been his intention. to suggest the very measure proposed by the Noble Earl, and that be was glad to be so antici pated by the Noble Earl at the headof his Majesty's Government. He should, however, think it fit to ex.. , cept from the new regulation, the instances of motions of which Noble Lards should previously hive given . the House due and regular notice.

The assistance of Great Britain might be quicker dispatch of business. It was a singularity in more effectually employee for this purpose, fry in ibis Act, that it had passed without fixing any salary directly aiding the Allies by ou r ' resources, than by' for the Judge. It was not therefore to be expected I immediate and partial efforts of our own.

In what. sitaiation,continued the Noble Lord, would the coun try now have been placed if the militia had not lent themselves to the exertions which Parliament front time- ttitime called on them to make? Since - the year 1805, when Government first called on the House to allow the Militia to enter into the line, they had con. tributesl i l*hiu 250 men of 100,000 to the disposable t_pl;c af,tlif ctuntry. If this measure of r en d er i ng - t h e Ifilitia`a iipaiivito the regular army had not taken place, if theroid peejudices, with respect to that deseripi don of force,hatlteemstill kept up, and they had beet; prevented froM entering the regular army, this court: try would not now possess the military character .which .it had Acquired. -We might have kept opt our colonial.policy, and made those exertions which] were witnessed in former wars; but we could nod have kept possostion of Portugal, or have sent . foices to co-operate in the deliverance of the Pen insula at large, and to take up that menacing. position on the frontiers of France, which our army now occupied. We should have been shut up within the bounds of ~our insular polity, and we could not have set that glorious example to other ne.. tions, or borne our share In the general exertions, which have been made for the deliverance of Europe. Parliament ought always,' therefore, to bear in recol lection, that it is to the Militia we owe the character. ..wf at present enjoy in :military Europe ; and that' without the Militia, we could not have ihewn that face arlifch'we have done in the Peninsula. He wished it to be understood; that in what he had to propoie it ,vmenothis intention to transgress ago beyond those great principles which alight to be held sacred with respect to the, ilitia. kXe had never been-one of those who considered that cher were any.principles in the constitution of the Militia which rendered that force inapplicable to the gel erils 'service Of the country,. provided neither officers Got isten wee broken in upon -either directly or indirectly: .-The Militia might be. broken in upon direstlyiby ilaus and they might be. broken in upon indirect/y.in,e manner not less unbe coming; and any alternative which, though not com pulsory on them, it might be 'painful to their own feel. nip to refuse, was very different from the mode of treatment merited by Abet-respectable body. The most complete freedom of choice ought, therefore, in Ids Opinion, to *be preserved.: But he never thought there was any thing in the Militia which rendered thezii unfit for generll seitice. They had' supplied an assistance of not less than-100,000 Men to- the irrdrY, and the, success of the whole contest had-hinged on the exertions which this reinforcement enabled us to make. If the Militia principles were in any respects changed,' they were changed for the better ; and at no period, he would venture so say, 'were the militia of this country either more numerous, more highly disci • lined, or more capable of performing their proper function, that is of occupying a middle station be tween the Local Militia and the standing army, than they were at the present moment. He wished, there 'fore, the House to understand that there Wail in cOn templation no attempt to encroach on the constitution, of the klilida. No person would .wish • the Militia to - 105k up the.service of apy man who would rather serve ra another description of force.
