Lord de BLAQITIERE took occalign to oblerve that until this day he bad not had a proper oppor tunity of finding out what the provifions of the Bill wer, ; but having done fo, be had no fcruple in con littering it an unconflitutional meafure in its ten dency, as its operation a ould be that of delaying the psymet,t A the debts which were due to the creditors of Government, for contrads they had entered into, and which he apprehended ...wild produce injußice ; for which reafon he withed the Houle to panic before this Bill wa: further proceeded in, for he could not think that foch a Bill as thi, could be allowed to pars without further explanation. Mr. W. WYNNE apprehended there could be no impropriety in reading the Bill a fecond time, and deferring further dircurfion on it till Monday, when it was to be propored to be (Omitted toe Committee; on which occaGon an Hon.

A Wage from the Lords informed the Houk their Lou:Mips had paired a Bill ' intituled, " A Bill to declare the law with rape& to witneffes being li able to anfwer, r .to which their Lordthipsdefired - the concarreace.of the Houle. The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved that this Bill be read a firß time, which was done accordingly, and ordered to be read a feeond time. Their Lordfhips Meffage alfo informed the Honfe, they bad agreed to the Woollen Manufadurers MILITARY SYSTIIIII. General TARLETON laid, he role to propare very Ihort quellion to one of his Majelty's Mufflers, which he hoped either of them Could anfwer. It was to be recollected that a Right Hon. Gentleman not now prefent, (Mr. Windham) was to bring forward a fyftem for the General Military Defence of this Country, and as he underlined that hulloes was to nand for Monday, he wilhed to know if any Minilles ,prefent was authorifed to inform the Houfe whether that Cubit& was to be brought forward on Monday ? Mr. Secretary FOX Paid, he did not know how tes anfwer that quellion ; but as his Right Hon. Friend had only (fated, fame time ago, that he hoped to be able to bring it forward on that day, and had not fence renewed that notice, he fhould rather apprehend he did not mean to bring it forward on that day. MILITARY DEFENCE. General TARLETON, obferving Mr. Windham enter, Paid he was forty to interrupt the bufinefs of the Houle for half a moment ; bar as he faw the Secretary of State for the War Department now in the Houle, he willied to pot a queftion to him, and he did fo for the convenience of Members who wiffied to know whether the Military Syftem of Defence of the Countri was to be brought forward on. Monday? He willied to know of that Miniller, whether the no• tice, or the half notice, he gave on the fubjea of the Military Defence of the Country, was to come on on Monday next ? Mr. Secretary WINDHAM Paid, that no regular notice bad been given on that fubjet. He lhould fct far have anticipated the fubjed now put to him, if nothing had been Paid on the other fide, as to fay that it was not to come on that day, and he believed that was all which was necefrary to (late upon it at pre. lent. It was certainly to be defired that as little delay fhould take place as poffible, but that did not imply the neceffity of bringing a meafure forward before it was ready, neither did lie know of any particular in. convenience which would be felt by Gentlemen on the other fide in confequence of the delay. He fhould not enter on the confederation of the impatience of Gentlemen whodnanifelled it on this fubje6l,becaufe he did not know why they fhoold be fo There had indeed been delay beyond the expedition of fume Members of that Houle, and perhaps the general expedation ; but it was not a delay that went beyond his expeSation, becaule he was fore that, in the prefent hate of things, upon a fobjeo fo delicate and fo important, it was highly necefrary to confider well a fy ram before it was exhibited to public view. He was thoroughly aware of the difficulty of per. loading Tome perfons, who did not think of the fob jed with the attention it required, that this delay was proper ; but when a military fyftem had been adopt ed by others who preceded him, in which he did not concur, it mull, on refleCtion, be admitted to be, on that account, the more difficult for him to digeft an other, ftich as he fnould hope 'to meet with general concurrence. As to general expreffions of delay, of of inconvenience, they mutt be referred to the im pqrtanee and difficulty of the fubjea to which they applied, and when they were fo, he apprehended their force would he exhaulled. General TARLETON laid A few words in expla- nation, and added that he happened to know, pro. tellirnally, that great anxiety was felt in agreat part of the army upon this fubjeft ; and he trulted the Minifter. who had the controul . would'zive as ample notice as he could of his intention to Fring it forwa►d.
