JULY 3. Any's , ntsetPLINE. Sin Fiwicti BunnErr rose to sulaui: to the House a mutiny that respected. in a consideralle degree, the dirt ipline of the ,:rmy of this country. The suhject, he said, was very import ant, and trmt tnatetially invitee. and claimed t..e ronsideration of Parliament. Gentlemen held certainly erterained different .entiinents respecting it ; but at all events he could anticipate that nor opposition would he made to the motion which he should make thereon. The lion. Baronet then moved, " That Clere be laid before the house mum; of the t.everal Courts- Martial, both General and Regimental, that have taken place throughout the army for the last ten sears, ending the first day if January last, specifying the number of convictions, the pu. nishments inflicted' in each reAiment, and the number of lashes hich each individual, punished with whipping during that pe riod, re( eived."—On the question being put, • . Ton Srettermtr AT W;Robsersed, that it was a motion of 'he mos: siiirulti.• and extraodinary nature, and should meet his decided !le i :afire. Re would appeal to the reflection of 'he Honoarahle Baronet himself, whether such a motion *vas hi to be agitated, or such a subject was calculated to do any good, at such a crisis as the present ? Besides, he did not th. that it was possible to procure the papers to which the motion appeared to be directed. He observed there never was a moment in the history of this country when the necessity of discipline was so urgent as at the present crisis, when it was considered how very formidable the rival was with whom we had now to cope. It was dangerous to instil into the mindsof the soldiery any sentiments that could in the most indirect way lead them to be dissatisfied with those laws and that discipline that go verned them I it would have all the effect of creating alarm among them, and of making them unhappy in their profes4on, the consequence of which no man could fortel or foresee. He trust e_! that in this light the House would view it, and agree with him in the great propriety of -ejecting it in limine. LORD C.ISTLERC.4f:u could not but think that the view which the Hon. Baronet had of the Army of this Country, and of its discipline, was very dill rent from that of other men. Suppos ing the papers which he called for were before the House - , still it was impossible that an . : p .rliamentary measure could be in-. stituted upon theta. It could only have a tendency of sinking into disrepute in the soldier's mind the laws by which he is go verned. He appealed to the good sense of the Hon, Baronet as to what he would substitute for English discipline—would he in troduce a French system ? If he would, he begged him to turn his eyes to the effects of that species of discipline displayed in Spain recently, where, if they did not inflict minor punishments of a corporal nature, they practised one of another description, for they shot them without form, ceremony, or trial.—ln our army the most trivial punishment is not inflicted, unless - the delinquent is found guilty by a court martial ; so that neither the life or the safety of an individual of the humblest descrip tion was ever involved, until a Court had previously heard the case and.the defence of the person accused. The Noble Lord expatiated on the superior freedom which a British soldier en joys over all the soldiers in the world, and concluded with giving his negative to the motion. The !louse then divided, against the motion, 77—for it, 4 majority, 73. /Ivor PARK. On our return to the gallery we found Mr. Creevy on his legs, veighirg against what lie termed the intended innovations upon tlyde Park, by a plan io a;:itiltion, proposed to the Lords of' the Treasury by ftlr. Fon! , toe. for building a range o; houses within it on the mite where the old riding house stands, oppe• site Park Lane. He meved, " That there he laid before the House Copies of the Corres pondence between Arr. John Fordyce and the Lords Commission ers of the. Treasury, relative to granting building leases of :round in Hyde Park." Tres err Nerr.Lert or snr Crest rotiga said, that there were 1141 gro. l ,ds fur the motion. The House could not think of in icriering with the Ito‘nl Prerogative, merely upon a rumour time such a plan had been submitted to the Treasury, and n hie!. he could as.ure the House ltd never yet reached his Alaiesq ears.
