NABOB OF TNt IC. Mr. FRANCIS. if lie knew how it could be done, in a parts. .aneptery manner, would make a motion on the fulled!. But, as ikli mot aware how that could be done, he would merely iuti• will that the Gentlemen of the Law, particularly his i s Attorney General, would 'Ale into their conlideration, heiropittion to that Houle, whether by the Alt of [ 784. of Direaors are ent*kd to delegate the poweeeonfer lealai by that Law, apecting the debts of the Nkbub of 4t o. dm Csessale, to other pokes I likVi MILITARY PLAN. Mr. YORKE role, purfuant to notice, to move for a return of the military opinions laid before Govern. //went at their requifit ion, upon the fubjed of enlifling i Inca for a limited term. The papers containing thee opinions he knew to be in the offices, and he felt that it was highly material they Ibould be communicated e to the Houfe, in order to guide its judgment upon a : projea of fo much importance as that which would in fad involve a complete revolution in our military fyfiem. In deciding as to thertAture of loch a pro jea, the Houk mutt be impreffed with this idea, that they were not to decide as civilians, but accordii.g to the authority of military men, To obtain filch au thority, and the benefit of its experience, was the objed of his motion. From the confideration nt this authority, he had no doubt it would appear, that the plan in contemplation was far from being advifable. On the contrAt y, it was pregnant with danger, and without any precedent elfewhere to futlain it. This, he maintaiucd, notwiddlanding the affection of the Right Hon. Mover of this plan. For he would call upon that Right Hon. Gentleman, or any other perfon, to minion a (late in Europe, or, indeed, any I I; military country upon earth, where the principle of 4, i enliftiog for a limited term was adopted , without r being backed by a confei ip, ion. In confiJeting the p ra dicability of inch a principle, he recommended Minifiers to look carefully at A paper !ii be found in the (karter.inelier General's Office, end which re• fare to the cafe of the Auftruan army. T he Right ' flon. Gentlemen anticipated the objedions which. were likely to be made to his propofitton ; the pi in cipal of which he underilond to be this, that thole ' military opinions' being privately communicated, without any view to publicity, their produdion in tbar Houfc would be perforially difAirerAble to the individualb from whom they came. But &itch pro -1 dunion would not be injurious to the public fervice, this objection nnold have no weight. For the fame objection might With equal' propriety be Made to the yroduCtion of many documents relative to tot refpon. dente between Government and its ambatratiors and other agents. If, however, an nhjenion of this natant were to he ihfilled on, he would urge the Hnufw 16 call for the examination of lonic great military ati:' . Moe ithe at the Bar, before a plan fo novel as that tinder Confideration were allowed to pals into a lain. , He deprecated the adoption of Inch an experiment, until the fullell inquiry among competent perfons flint,ld take place. Independently of the ;anima tion which his motion had iii view, there were others whole opinions were applied for on the hone occa lion, but who Come how or other did pot pi'efent any. To thefe Officers he would particularly with to op. peal—he meant Lord Cathcart, Lord lititchinfon, and General Prefeott. The opirvon of the latter upon a fubjett of this nature, he thought particularly defirable.—The Right Hon. Gentleman's Motion being :cad, General WALPOLE raid, there was a float an ewer to the argument of the Right Hon. Gentleman, that the principle of enLiting Coldiers, in general and even colonial fervice, for limited and (hots perindc, 'was new to the Btitith fervice. On the contrary, fo far from being new, it was neither tinurnal nor un• frequent. It hid been done in the feven years' war, it bad been done its the American war, when men ' were entitled for a term of only three years ; and. it had been done towards the terminatinn of the lall war, and never had nioduied to the fervice the fmallefl inconvenience. WINDHAM deprecated ant difetiffion,of the general principle of entailment for a limited tiMe, As that would more properly come before the Houfe at another time. But with regard to the motion immediately under confideration, he could afflue Gentlemen on the other fide, that whatever inference they might be difpofcd to make, Minilters could not be induced to decline a compliance with this motion, from any idea that the production of' the documents referred to would be at all holine to their °Nett. — He knew that thole Gentlemen were in the habit of profeffing a reluftauce to pyridoce documents, the publication of which might be injurious to the pub lic lei vice, although in a recent innance their praelice was but ton much at war with their prachions (a cry of Rear I hear!) as it was underifond to allude to the documents refpetting the Continental toitlit?On. If Minitlers were not reßrained by public nantivell.j they could not hefitate to complO , With this motion.) For the balance of opinion, in the documents ed to, was in their favour. Fur of the fourteen per lons who communicated their opinions upon this quenion, it appeared that there were feven who re• commended the principle which the Right Honoura ble Gentleman on the other fide MI - approved of— there were fix who obje&ed to it, and there was one who was doubtful—who Was fo impartial as to incline almoll equally to both tides. Such was the (late of the poll. But as to the arguments to be found in there documents, there was realty nothing now to be found in them ; and upon the prelim of authority, he would fubniat Whither that Honfe (hould fuffer its judgment to be direfted bt Military officers, in the timfideration of a point which did not by any means In much involve the mere tonitary charafter and military experience, ai a knowledge of human nature. Upon loch a point of general interen, it could not furely be argued that the Houfe fhould, in the work of Legiflation, call in the aid of artizans. The arguments deigned againft. the propeifed ar rangement, which were drawn from tie circum. fiance of the country being at war, appeared to him rathet to make in its favour. So eery Cupetioy, in. deed, in point of lone, was the tendency of thole ar guments to feveral, even that were ufed by lime of the profeffed advocates of the new plan, that one difpofed to fupport his prom:fa:ion might, in tome inftances, adopt the language of Judge B. who laid, that he fupported a certain decition, not for the rea ions urged by Judge C. who fpnke for it, but for thofe of Judge E. who (poke againfl it. Recurring• to the motion before the Honk the Right Hoe.' Gentleman deprecated the idea de:poling the cese. relpondence of General Officers with the Commander in Chief, for which the adoption of this motion would afford a Precedent, particularly where, assn thie :here was nothing like a itiong neceffity for it. Hos alto endeavoured to impeefs upon the Houle the he.s propriety of laying the grounds tor a difeuffion which was likely to involve a moll onpledfont comparifori of! military authorities. For, after all, that was what the adoption of this motion mutt lead tn. if General Officers were, as propofed, to be examined at the Bar, he would be glad to hear upon what principle the fen lettion of filch Officers was to be continently made. Mr. YORKE, in explanation, laid, that the only! reafon why he alluded to the document refpefling the Auflrian ferries wa,, becatile the ufages of Corionerot cal fervicc had been pleaded by the Right Honoura ble Gentleman in fupport of his plan. General TARLETON was ready to acknowledge. that the principle of the right Hon. Gentleman's plan, in theory, appeared falcinating ; but lie was of opinion that it was totally impratticable as to any uteful effect : more elpecially tot colonial fervice.— The Right Hon. Gentleman had flatted, that the opi nions of eminent military men were at vat Lance upon the quellion, and that fix thought one way, and feven the other. It was extremely neceftiry, however, for the Houle to know what were the nature and form of the quellions prnpofed to there Officers? The Right Hon. Gentlemanadmitted the gale itions were privately put, and tlnit the anfwers alto were private and con fidential ; but it was extremely neceffary to lean thefe opinions, and to compare them with the quel tions in answer to which they were given. For, when the Right Hon. Gentleman laid that Officers dd . . sweet', he wilted to know the mode of the quellions put, as St.:mimeo foinetimes put quellions to military men in a way to elicit an atitwer applicable to their own purpofes. The Right Honourable Gentleman laid the anfwets were coutidemial, and that the pro mitigation of them to the Houle would excite jets lotifies. To this he would reply, then examine dank officers at the bar ; and it it was imagined by any man they were afraid or unwilling to have their opi. Motu known, he mull know little of that emulation which pervaded the Mean of every military corn. mander, and which was the life and fool of the army. But, with refpna to the qstealion. pat to thole ati cers, he tßarewdly runic:led they slid not proceed from the Horfe Guards, as from the authority orate Com minder in Chief, but from Anne of chore civil I.mihersiy Gentlemen v ho had of late alibied the managerilent of the artily. With rdpeet to the argument of deli: cacy in communicating the opinions received, he thought it fuperfeded by a paramount duty to the Houk and the occafion. He was willing to admit what had been raid by an Honourable Gentleman. (General Walpole) cull in the debate; that recruits were entitled towards the clok of the American war for three years, et' dariag the war ; and he had nn ob• jedion to take as many recruits as could now be rail ed upon the fame principles ; but from what he knew of the fpirit of this country, he was convinced that not one thoufand men extraordinary would be pro. Mimi in tweire moriths, by entailment for limited I periods. Mr. Secretary FOX obferved, that the qiieflimi pot to thole military officers, and which produced &o(,: opininos, were not p•opotinded by hi, Majelly's pre fent Minters. as inlinuated by the Hon. Gentlemste, ' but during the Adminifiration of the late Mr. Pitt• They were put by him, and the anfwers, as Aated by, his Right Hon. Friend, wete found in the office. Lord CASTLEREAGH had.re-id the papers to which the motion referred, and deemed them of great I importance ; and that mutt be felt when tt was 'mown that they (erred to change the opinion of his late Right Honourable Friend, as to the point *fen. lifting for a limited Oise. But Rill there were fevers') of them which certainly.,:.were evidently not written with any view to publicity. Upon the whole, he would recommend that there documents Mould be referred to the feveral officers for revifion before any. were, produced; and that none s thould be laid before the Houle if difagrenble..to the feelings of the per il ties. The Noble Lord denied the fart Rated by the Right HonotirabJe Secretary, that the balance of opinion in thole documents was ha favour attic item pofcd plan of enliitment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob fared, that the prefent fubjed had undergone a dit cullion of two or due/ years, and it was not a little furprifing that thofe who belonged to the laR Adel nitration, andnow wanted to have thole papers made public, did not produce them during any part of the time they were in office—(A (rye/ bear !)—Why did any conceal—.(bear bear 1)--thefe papers froft die Houk during the dikuffion of military marten of great importance ? The Right Honourable Gentle. man who made the permit motion did in fait call' down a cenfore on himfelf for not having done that which he now afked the Houle to do. Did hi mean to call General Ofßcers to the Bar of the Houle, put quell ions to them ; and a& them if a particular Bill was to pats ? The Houfe could never think of refign log its authority In that way, and if there was any thing which it ought to exercife its judgment upon mote than another, it was that of putting an end to ' the term of military fervice The Houk did fo every year in the cafe of the Mutiny Bill. He obje&ed to the motion on general grounds. There was no occa lion for there opinions being Rated publicly to the Houfe, when every Gentleman had the means of hearing the opinions of officers in that Houfe, or of confulting their military friends out of doors. Mt. CANNING begged the Noble Lord to con 6 -1 der, in jollification of the conduit of his late Right Honourable Friend refloating there documents, that there was a material difference between the declining! to bring for Ward the difeuffion of a meafure, which' was the cafe of his Right Honourable Friend, and the determining to carry that reeafure into a law, u was the cafe at prefent. With raped to ,the refill ante now (hewn to afford the Houfe the information applied for, it was curious to abler ye the contnell be tween the prance and profeffions of Come Gentle men. He would, merely for amifement. call the recolledion of the Houfe to the Rory Which was lately told to the Houk of the old Roman morafilli every part of whore apartments were to be perfectly ex. poled to public view. Bat he could not help (bleb ,mg that this Flute was not of Roman, but of Go.' tine ttrature, " huge windows that exclude the light, and peffages that lead to nothing." (Aline ) Lord DE BLAQyIERE thought. that on qu i. Lions relating to the operations of armies, military men ought to be confultedi but with regard to the means of recruiting armies, they could not be Co' good judges as that Houk. He Wei forty to diferi from fo many of his friends on this fobjeet, but be thought they could not have an army without the mature propofed by the Gentle Man oppcifut. cruiting for a limited term was not a novel sneefure. In 1770, he had the honour of being employed to rails the r 7th Regiment of Dragoons; he emitted the men for three years, at a (mall bounty. In 1782 he is the whole regiment agais, then quartered at Coventry, for one guinea bounty. He afterwards vilified the whole, with the exception of every (mall nuMber, for the third time, and his regiment went afterwards to America, where they fought like lions. (Rear ! hear !) He thought the enlitiment for a term of years would tend to the fecurity of the country, as well as the glory of the army and the comforts of the foldiery, hot he did not approve of the little crooked fixpence at the end of the week. (A /ave.) Sir JAMES I'ULTENEY wifhed, as the fubjed was Amon new to the Houfe, and to the country, to fee the opinions of perfons cnnverfant with military affairs laid befote the Houfe. He had thought much on the fobjed, and yet he was convinced he Should derive much information from their communications. The practice of enlilling for a term of years had in• deed been partially introduced into the army, but it had produced fo little effect, as not to live much en couragement for its general application. Befides, though the malice was not new, yet there was a great difference between that partial entitling for time that had already been tried, and a genet al enlifting for the whole airily on the fame principle. Mr. W. I)UNDAS was Corry to differ on this om cation from Mole Gentlemen with whom he attune' aced ; but lie could not confider the opinions that had been moved for as proper for the public infpem tion. They had not been written for the porpofe, or with the defign of being communicated to she public. They were of a private and confidential nature ;um! halides that the publication of them might wooed tbe feelings of individuals, the public fervice might Mkt detriment from fuch a mature. Much might 'tract pare that might be calculated to do publibeigifchief. But though he deprecated their being laid baste the Honk in their prefent form, they might yet perhaps be reviled by thole who had of iginally given them in, and in that Rate, with their confect, fubmitted to Parliament. . 1 j tiff. Ifolett iii &dreg Deuce of what had fallen' from hit Hos. Friend, had no obeftion; with the tier. ntiffion Of the linufe,lo withdraw his motion, provide' bis Majetty's Minillets fhould give the Houle to us 'detfland, that they would take the opinions of high military authorities, for the purpofe of laying them before the Houle. Mr. FOX laid, that he had net heard one piece dent mentioned in fupport of the Motion, that was a: all applicable to the fubjett. The meafure which was propofed would go to alter the charafter of oft.- cers, and invert them with that of legillators. &fides. ' there were certainly many Military Gentlemen ih the Houle whole opinions would be of high autheoity in .. addition to what other Members might learn' in the courfe of theit converfatioos on the fubjeft. The pro: fereriCe which the Haste mutt neceffarily give to the opinion of one general of f icer above that of anothete were they all laid before the Houle, might silo acrd to legen the ufefulnsfs of officers and injute the general' intetefts of the army. Befiies,• one man paid great' 4 deference to the opinion of one General s , and ano ther to that of a fecond. and the confequence would be that the Houfe might confult s hundred and fifty 4 Generals before they could form a decifion on tin! point. There would be no end to the liftiog and .. comparing of dijorent opinions. He therefore could not content to the relent Motion, and he Scald by no means pledge hintfelf to give it libretti-114 even in the altered fate in which the Rig ht Hod. Genllemaia teemed to feel Inclined to pro e it. . Mr. YORKE contended, t t when the ftibjea of • . ifolB6cation, as planned. by the Duke of Richmond, was before the Hoofe, General Officers had been coa foltod, and their opioions laid before the Houfe. . Mr. FOX replied, that there was a dittiollion be- Olken on Ilpi*n given in by a Knott: of Officers, and that which' was communicated individually.— The cafe referred to bad been of the former dela*. tion, and, therefore, was no precedent for the mea fure now pr Colonel CRAUFLTRD'faid, that tire queftion re (polling the Ohm of general fortification was purely of a Military nature, and, therefore, military men were, withyptat propriety, confulted by Parliament on the occaGon. But the prefent was, by no means, purely a inditary queftion, but required, in order to its difeudion, the union of military information with the talents of the Itatefman. He obferved, that when the Hon. Mover of the prefent quetlion was himfeif at the head of the War Department, we had a Mi litia amouming to sro,ooo, and an army for limited fervice to the amount of so,ooo men ; he therefote could trot perceive much con fi llency in his now repro bating a fiftem, upon which he hindelf had afted to Co great an extent, and contending that the meafure in queltion would caufe a military revolution, that might be attended with die greatelt rifle. Mr. HAWTHORNE emigrated the ftatement of the Hon. Officer with regard to the amount of the Militia and Army of Referve. Mr. PERCIVAL took a general !View of the sr gnment% again& the motion. He conuocled that the meafures of the late Adminieration had beer emi nently fuccefsful in fupporting and increaGog the Mi. litary force of the country, amt that there was no ne ctar for having recourfe to new and untried em rimenta on a fabled of Co Mirth importance. new =afore was of fuels a: nature as tailed for the opinions of peadirad and experienued men I but the Hon. Seq mry teemed fo food of theory, that he with,Ml to exclude predict altogether. It was ratheti exttgordinary, that his Right Honourable Friend, now no more, had Caen reafoo to alter that inclination which be had felt for the principle of limited laving from the very fame caufi that had confirmedthe Right Hon. Secretary_in his original opinion. They had both had recoarfe to the opinions of military men. and had come to very different conclufions from thole opinion*. This &told indite* the Houfe to call for the fentidienti of experienced men. If Inch opinions were withheld from the Honk. the natural conclegon would be, that they were dpon the whole unfavouro. ble to the meafure. Lord TEMPLE contended, that the opinion fur tithed to the Houfe by a Board of Officers appointed to examine the plan of general fortification, afforded on precedent to guide the Houfe on the prefent mes as& That was a Public Board, ettablithed by his omoiy, and refponfible to the country. The /lode bad addreffed his Majelty on that occaftoo, that fuel rota of their official proceedings as were et for pub. lie infpeeion, &mild be laid before them, and this 'Addrefs bad been complied with. But he could fee no analogy between that cafe and the prefent. Mr. ROSE fpnke in fupport of confidering the =refute as a prEfident, and was replied to by Mr. CALCRAFT. The queilion was then put, and the motion was ne gatived. Mr. WINDHAM then brought up the Bill for re pealing the Additional Force AR. On the quettion being put that it be read a fiat time, General TARLETON laid, that fince Co much time had been taken by the preceding debate, he fhould not then enter into the confideration of the Bill, but Ibould referve what he had to fay upon it to a future opportunity. But be would call the at tention of the Houfe, to the papers containing the re turns of the men raifed under the Aft which this bill was intended to repeal. There they would find do cuments to prove that the Ad l a d been highly ufeful; and he trotted, that the Houle would fee no reafon for its repeal. Mt. HAWTHORNE obferved, that if the Houle did examine the returns, they would find that the Ad had failed altogether. Mr. PERCIVAL contended, that the AR was in the courfe of producing more men than the original mover of it had calculated upon. He therefore cal led on thofe who originally fupported the Aft to be continent in oppofing its repeal. Lord TEMPLE. maintained, that the Ad had not realifed thofe promifes that had been held out by its author, and d:fired the Houle to look to the manner in which it had been received by the country, and to what had been its general relult. Mr. CANNING protefled againft repealing the Ad, before any etfeitual fubftitute was propofed in its place. The Right Hon. Gentleman, inttead of the fubltantial refoutces which the Ad prefented, offered nothing but villons and projeds in its room. Mr. FOX left it to the judgMent of the Houfe, how far the Honourable Gentleman, who had jut fat down, was qualified, by the folidity of his own 1 underltanding, to charafterife the plans of his flight ft 0 ii •• h tl E tr I, . a , . al V C • • I i c 1 I 1 I I I . , . , 1 • . , • I I 1 ' 1 a I .r ~.
