LOID AIIHILILST'S FAMILY GIANT, The Houfe refolved into a Committee, to confider his Majefty's Meffage refpefting the commutation to the family of Lord Amberft, for the grant of land , formerly made to that gallant Offi i cer n Canada, and the proceedings of Counfel upon this quettion were i referred to the Committee. The Csancassoa of the Excitskyaa role, and raid that the propofition he meant to fubmit, was fug- gelled by his Majefty's gracious MelTage, and arofe out of the difficulties and °blinks which offered in the way of the execution of his Majefty's kind inten tion towards the family of this gallant Officer ' to whom, in conjunftion with the justly celebrated Ge neral Wolfe, the annexation of Canada to this coun try was to be attributed. The Right Hon. Gentle man went at large into the circumftances of the grant to Lord Amherft, which included one million of acres, an extent of land too much for any individual to poffefs, even upon the contingent increafe of its value, and after dwelling upon the merits of the late Lord Amherft, the moderation of the prefent Lord— at wbofe requeft he declared the prefent meafure was knot props:Ad—he called the attention of the Com mittee to the length of time fincc this grant had been made, not lets than 40 years, and the local circum- Ainces which rendered the grant itrelf unproduelive. He concluded with moving, that it be the opinion of the Committee that an annual rum of soool. be granted so bye Majefty, out of the confolidated fund, the grant to commence on the sth of July 1803, to enable his Majefty to make a commutation to the family of the late Lord Amherft, for a grant of land in Canada, given tO . the Laid Nobleman for and in confideration of his eminent fervices in that province. Mr. Coot LLLLL bore teftithony to the extraordi nary Cervices and amiable and difinterefted charaller of the late Lord Amherft • but with refpe& to the preCent meafure, fuggefted whether it would pot be better to make the propofed allowance to 'the repre tentative of that Noble Lord rather out of the lands in Canada, than out of the Confolidated Fund. 'The principle of the compenfation he admitted to be fair ; hitt , he re retted that it was not extended to many other perlbns who had merited reward, among whom were t onne whom he knew, and who ferved in the fame campaign with the Noble Lord. He indeed had reafon to think that he himfelf was entitled to Come compenfation for particular Cervices at a former period, nor would he be. Co model as not to prefer his claim if be thought his application would have been attended to. Mr. Carmine; fupported the motion, thinking that as the feveral grounds Rated by 'the Hon. Moyer were not difputed. the only queftion was as to the mode of paying the compenfation ; andit appeared to him much more convenient to pay it from the Con folidated Fund than to call upon the reprelinitative of the late Lord Amherft to become the public itc countant, according to the terms of the original grant, for fuch of the produce of the land in Canada as Would exceed 24001. a year. Mr. CouITINAY vindicated his former arguments. The Coascastoa of the Excitscur ea (hewed that, if this grant were made from Canada, the whole re venue of which was applied to the expence of the Civil Government, any furplus which -might be wanted for that Government, in confequence of that grant, muft be fupplied from the confolidated fund. The Right Hon. Gentleman maintained that the commutation propofcd would be ultimately ufeful to the public, as the value of the land was very likely to rife, and concluded with Rating, that the cafe of the Officers alluded to by the Hon.. Gentleman Rtould be enquired into. • Sir WILLIAM Dotaan (poke in favour of the ma tion, and of the propriety of in every inftance fop porting the dignity of the Peerage by an adequate revenue. Cdr. Cot/ironer expected a wins, that as it was pretended this laud would be more than a composts,, t of to the public for the propoTed grant, tome pt, . vi ion fhould be introduced in the Bill to prevent the grant of thole lands to fome other perfons. To this fuggellion no anfwer was made ; the Houle refumed, and the report was ordered to be received to.motrow•. TNII oirsems OP' Tilt COUNTRY. The SECRETARY at WAR moved the further con& deration in Committee of the Report of the Bill for the General Defence of the Country. The Marquis of TITCHESISD role and requefied the indolgence of the Houfe while he took the liberty of alluding to foam obfervations which be underflood had been made by the Right Hon: Gentleman who had jull fat down, on a former evening, 'relative to the officers and others concerned in railing the militia for the counties of MideUefex and Surrey. lt was mentioned on the occafion he alluded to, and, as he was told, in pretty thong terms, that the deficiency in thole counties with refped to the militia and the army of referee proceeded from the mifcondud re ferred to, although the fat was, that it arofe in both inflances from the extreme difficulty which occurred in finding the men balloted for in this great town and its immediate vicinity. The difficulty wis . in. deed, fo well known that, previous to the enaalent of the loft Militia Bill, be took occafion to cenitnu nicate his opinion to'the Right Hon. Gentleman, that the general militia laws were not applicable to thofe particular counties, and be regretted that fometising had not been adopted accordingly, as it might have prevedted the eomplaidr of the Righl Hon. Gentle. man, which applied to a'qearter where, he was per. fowled, it was quite undefwv. ed. He therefore called upon the Right Hon. Gentleman to Rate the grounds upon which be made his allufion upon a former even. ing, in order that an inveftigation might take Oleg. and that meafures mould be taken to Of ;ace any perfon who Ihould appear to be guiltT. upon the Right Hon. Gentleman for this explanations is order to (*tidy the feelings of Gentlemen on wbom be was fuppofed to have feverely refleded, and tci do juftice to the public, to whom there Gentlemen bad. for the moil part, gratuitoully devoted their (civics!. -If chafe relledions applied , to himfelf alone, the noble Lord declared that he would have taken nb Dinka or them. _ _ The SICRITART at WAR exprelkd his concern that his obfervations, to which' the Noble Lord alluded, thould have been fo much mifttaderttood—obferva• Lions in the enurfe of 'thick be meant to convey no •refleftion whatever on the Noble Lord or the Gentle. , men he referred to. He had certainly been informed of tome circumßances refpeding the railing of the Militia in the counties asentionedby the Noble Lord, which fatisfied,his mind that the anal deficiency was owing to mifmanagement ; not only that, but_ tha,t tome frauds were conunittedL He did riot Will to guilt on any fee of men, bat fuppofed that the fyßena mutl be bad, and required alteration: He admitted that the neceffity of fuch alteration was mentioned to him by the Noble Lorit previous to the paling of Lb; 14 Militia AO, but he thoright differently upon grounds in which be now coefc&d himfelf millaken yet he did not feel that belonged to his department as Secretary at War to provide a remedy for the par. titular defefts of the fytlem which prevailed in the counties of Surrey Ind Middlefes ; but if the Noble Lord and the Gentlemen immediately conneilled with thole counties would bring forward any meafure for that pnrpofe the Honfe would, no doubt, give it itt ' attentive ccmfideration. Recurring to the principal! objtilt of the Noble Lord's Addrefr, he felt acquitted in his awn mind of any drfirt to throw out the im putation which the Noble Lord teemed to fuppofe r and be hoped the 'Houle acquitted him alto. The Marquis of Tircarmo Paid he for biatfelf accepted the explanation of the Right Honourable Gentleman as quite fatisfaftory, and had no doubt it would be equally fo to the Lieutenants and Deputies, fcc. of the counties alluded to. The Houle then refolved itfelfinto the Committee, in which a variety of clothes were introduced 7s Among others was a clan& for exempting the Judges of England and Scotland from the.trpaaticit of th Aft. • Notice fervid on (errant', or any of •the family, was made fufficient by another claufe. Another Rated that a perfon nbrelaing from a parith in which he was liable to be enr Mould, on producing a certificate of his -ferric! in another diltria, be Tree& from all penalties which would otberwife attach to him for fuch abfenie. - The Secairaer at Waa prophet! a clank to thti,. effelt, that the pedous comprised in the firer clar,s, • who engaged to (trot as volunteers, should be bound• to march sa cafe of invallon, and that all perms comprised in the other thief should ream, and continue so .esarcife 10 the panes till further orders. —This elaufe was agreed to. ' The nest clatife was, that if his klajetty ordered out any part of the fubliqUent 'ciao, that it thould be chofen by ballot. Mr. W. Sorra Aid, it would be more advantep geous to have the ballot before hand, than it the znosnent when the men might be wanted. Mr. PITT fuggelled that it was not 'polGble that any more would be required to go out of the coup. try than thole who were eoetathed In the tint elate. The SIICRATART at Waa (aid, the details as to the number and defcription of the men to be drawn out ought to be left to his Majefty. It was certain that the perfons in the Sift clefs would be the firtt to a 0 femble ; but it was necefary to provide for a cafe which, thouglt unlikely to happen, might happen. The next claufe was for training the men for s 1 daye-at •fartbeft, and not Ids than to days till the ayth of 'December nett.
