The Secitaratte at Was. rofe, and addrefred the 'Hoofs upon this fubjea, to the following ellen : I" Sir, porfttant to the notice I formerly gave, I now rife to lay before the Houfe the outlines of a Bill which I plopole to bring in for the purpofe of amending the Aft which has been recently paired for the Defence of the United Kingdom, and in order to enable his Majefly more fpeedily to exec Illi Roval I in requiting the affifianee of his liege litsjerts, tneels of actual itivafion of the realm. his is a meaturesi.f the unison importance, in the relent ftnwtir n of the Kingdom. The Bill I am about to prepore contains p r nnitions calculated to enable ids Majesty dillinnly to afeettain the te;sl refources of his el , minions; and alio provides a mode of aceptiting the polfedion of fuck .art of the public property as may he found ne teffary for the ferviee of Government. and the gene :al fecurity of the Country, in cafe of emergency ; as alto a summary mode of indemnifying thole perlosis -Nho may toffer in regard to their property, either it tales of internal dint:emote, or of aEtual The Lite Ae, and Alf. that which was paired during the Lot 'sat, were vet y defellive in thole particulars. They do not, with InfEcient expedition, enable his .!slajelly to command the amnance of all his liege fulled'. to carry .irms for the defence of the king dom. The haft Bill went no further than to enable hi. M.ijefty to procure the affiliance of tt certain de fcriptinn of people within particular triad/is, - and to ado; , t certain meafures which were deemed neeetfary in regard to property but it did not go the length of thole propnfed by the Bill which I am now to bring forward. I need not read to the recolleajon of the Houle, that it is 'he Ancient and undoubted prerrmit tire of the Crown. to d e mand the fervices of all 'tle fuhjefis of the kingdom, who are able to carry arms, in case of !ovation from a foreign enemy. This is a tot h which. 1 am convinced, will not he denied by any Hnn. Member within there walls; hot uotwith nanding that conviaion. I think it may be attended with beneficial eonfequenees to Rate, very flintily to the Hoak a few precedents from' Icarir:d authors, and in the Rulls of Parliament, which appear to put !Le epiellion beyond all doubt. The learned Judge Iliackilone, in his Commentaries, lays, •• 'The King i. confidered as the Generalitßmo, or the lira in est litAry command within the kingdom. The great end of foriety it to pre:scathe weaknefs of individuals by the united firength of the community, and the prin cipal ufe of teerninent is to Jima that muted strength in the belt and• molt effednal manner to anfwer the end propelled : the military power molt be entrufled in the bands of the Prince;' fie. In another place be fey% " Betides &We wins by their military tenure were bound to perform forty days fervice in the field, firfi the atke of arms, ensiled ay Hen. 11. and afterwards the (*acute of Winehefier. under Edw. I. obliged every men. according to his eflat t and degree. to provide a determinate quantity of fuch arms as were then in nfe, in order to keep the peace : and eonllablcs were appointed in all hundreds by the latter flame, to fee that filch arms were pm /Lied:l Accosdiag to the provifloo of certain Aas, ' it was ufual, from time to time, to mutter and array the inhabitants of every defet iption, tor the purpofe of defending the realm. By the I 3th of Edward 111. it was provided, that nn man, in cafe of public danger or emergency, Ihould be permitted to go out of the kingdom without the authority of Parliament. In (peaking of the power of a Sheriff, Judge Black flone fay* that he is bound to employ every exertion in his power for the defence of the country againa the King's enemies: and further, that every perfon above 15 years of age is bound to ferve in Inch-carer, under the pain of imprifonment. In the reign Of Henry~ 'in co'nfequence of a petition to the . Cnitimonv,•_thg form ()fan array was then fettled, is win appear"froni the Rolls No. 24 and al,' to which it Why be proper at prefent to refer the Houfe: 'lt willefiete Appear, that amplepower was given to the CiOwn to'ilemand the affillance of all perfons who viert *able to afford it for thttlikrence.of his Majelly's tgoesittions, This prefeetord'eafure, I conceive, can therefete only be ftyled a Parliamentary r:cngnition of the Parliamen tary Records of-the Crown. Such, indeed, I may lay ddwn as being th'e ancient tail elite being the c a fe, it may he afked, why it becomes re cefftry to call the attention of Parliament to ant meaftires of a fimilar kind at the prefent mornerty? The only anfiver which I think can be given to filch an interrogatory is, that the method by which his hlajelty could, by th e prefent• exilling Ilatutes, exael the military exertions of the whole body of his people, is fnmewbat too tedious for the prefent emergencies of the Ilate. I believe the meafure weald he found on trial at prefent to be wholly impraeicable for the pnrp..fe of affording that effi- Cent aid which his Maielly requires. Perfons can now only be fined and imprifoned.bY the due cootie of law, in Cale of refill:Luce when reqoired to afford their military exertions tbr the defence of their coon try. It does, therefore, upon that mina*. (rem nrceiEtry at this time to bring forward a mew an of this nature, with a view to rendering the undoubted prerogative of the Crowh more efficient in point of e:pcdition, towards the public fafety. On a due con lideralion of all the exiiting circtimilances of the country. I fay. it will appear to be abfolntely necef- Cary to adopt fume Envie but decifive and effeenal relenting. That the preterit Bill is to be expedient for fuch purpofes I need not argue at prefent, for it is a meatfure which the Siltation of the country renders neceffary. Sure I am that the real petition in whisks we Rand it.. the prefent 'moment is a circentßance which is well known by every individual in the coun try: We have now an enemy to contend with. who may be Riled the molt infolent and the molt daring that ever this country had to combat. That enema, Sir, it is well known, is employed at this very mo ment in making labial preparations for the avowed porno* of invafion, and even threatens us with total' fubjugation. The force. which we now have on felt. both by fea and by land, is undoubtedly very great ; but when we confider that the enemy is at this very time poffeffed of a large portion of the Continent of Europe; and that every day new poffeffions, even whole kingdoms, ate 'in a manner I:Hemming the truth of France ; it does not become us to place great reliance on the force which we have already ettsblifh ed. We might to confider the cafes of great Princes on the Continent, to convince ourfelvev a the need . d• thy of exertion I we ought tit take into notice, that he French are in a manner' abiolotte matters of the whole coatis which are nested to our (bores, even from the frontiers of Holland to die fea eolith on the Idediterratnean t and that it is hot impoffible that they may Rill acquire greater importance by the pollef lion (dad the gout riven and ports opt*. the Conti nent of Europe. Under theft elreuntßances, Sir, although every body mull have a petted reliance up wit the well known !kill an& unwearied vigilance of our Navy, a Navy which is the mod powerful in the world, and which I may even venture to fay, is per haps capable of coping with all the Navies in the world, yet, at the lame time, no man can potlitity contend or luppofe, that it can he pratticable herme tically, as it were, to feal op all thofe ports or rivers, to as to block op or exterminate ell the veffels which the enemy may be preparing for the purple of ere. ..cuting their threatened invasion. Great as our army at prefent is, it is not poffible to line completely the whtvie furrnunding coatis of Great Britain and Ire land, fo as to prevent the molt diflant parts of the United Kingdom from being not only invaded and attacked, bat even perhaps of being united temporary. potieffion of. It would be inspoffible to he (efficient ly aoprifed of the particular point to which our at 7 tention ought molt peculiarly to be direetd. No. body, I fay, can fuppofe that with this army, great as it i,, we can do every thing. The fall is, Sir, we CAR do nothing mote, even in the cafe of an aßual invation, than aflimble this great army for the pur pole of deciding the great queßion, whether or not we (hall be fubjegated by our invading foe ? We may fuppofe that the enemy is determined to invade us by embarking no lefs than too,ooo men in 6,5,0 r even to dis itions, all feting off in different diretlions, and that after dedueing 50,000, who may be difperfed and de droyed on the patfage over, that the Chief Conful will be able to effect the landing of schooo men upon our Atom Somehow or another. and that this so,oco men Should come more or left difunited. more ur lets fea lick. and more or left divided into parties. it is highly probable indeed, that we might Ire able to pelt their place of landing. yet we Ronald not rely on that pro bability. They might happen to change their darts- Ration very fuddetily, or fame of them might be com pelled with itsfs again to put to the, and might chance to be driven by fume part alone feet, or eves by the very elements on (nine part of aerated', where their pretence might not be looked for. Under all there combined eircumßances, Sir, it does appear to me, that there exists at prefent an abfolute neeeffity for the utmod power and curtain of the whole kingdom being called forth, in order to prepare for fuch important "vents. Even after having collected our matt powerhd army under the eireumflartees times I have elluded to, it might perhaps be found req&fit . e to call nor fecond, or our third line; of reinforcement to AIM them with legion after lc gion, to cone& army after at me, in order the more completely to fill ttp eltaftr.s or deaciencies occafioned ay any temporary fuectffes of the enemy. Thee would thus he a conßant fupply nt regiments in cafe nccellity, to which we Mould be able to look with hopes and exeßations of completely repelling our in vas.ing foe. In cafe of an adual narration of this coun try, the operations in the field mull of necedity be extremity aelive andfevere. We mull not look to the ordinary and flow :n ocle of r ecrlll Li 11g,Ot CVen bl • werefnß refort t.: the ancient law of the realm, and eiert the prerogative of the Crown. In our prefent -saitical &Iranian, his Majchy ought not only - to be erifp'ciwered to call forth Qie exertmns of' all his liege &lift 'but even to do' it expeditioully and cffeau ally. Now, Sir; • tn approach fmnewhat nearer to the Oh I am: about to propore. I may lag, that I think we cannot do better, in the prefent .than recur, to the age of the' Plantagenet', a race clf•tirkwifelt and grealte !Sovereigns that ever fat alliftralieThrone. • Lit Us tecal to our reColleation the nidthod ' by' 'the eat Qteen Elizabeth defettied tier. ,dorninioris:agataft the Spanifli, Arena. da., It erai•tot • alokielfl , the genuine eters:creme of 'zeal and tratriotitill of her people, (a zeal which I am happy to fce manifefted every ; day pore and more on the prefent occAnn) hue it .

That the lifts of enrolment fhould di vide all thefe then into four different elates; fomewbat fimilar to' the earl adopted in regard tote Militia of the prefent day ; that the Rrft clafs 'ball ctmfitt of all .young Men between the ages of 17 and so, unmarried; thefeeenid; all men between the ages of So and So, under the fame predicament ; the third to confill of all young Married men between the ages of 17 and to, whir'haveassere than two chastren udder so years of age iund the fonrth eta& to.cnufift of all • there Men seithio the fpetified age, 'the talky not included in any of 'the other (leaks. • at they (hould dißinguifh all`thofe *Milne Cleigirden, and all thnfe who are stay:illy' reeving in int . - corps of Militia, Army of Referee, Of Volunteen, a pprniid bylris llajelly, in ferving by febllitute Vie Mi litia, as we cannot call An thofe ferying bylubitinates to afford additional military fervice as long as the fubßitute ferves ; but in cafe of invallon:l 'have tiO doubt that they will offer their feriricm.' I &al: preppie that all thole men who are enrolled in either' of there claffes, Arnold be called out in cafe of inva fion, in 21 order of priority, according to the dates to which they belong. No perfon Ibould be 'erempted: from being enrollea, and the whole lifts of namei , thould be put on the church doors. As we intend to make the adoption of there meafures as fpeedily as Poffible, (though not In esreditious-as to occafion injullice to any individuals,) I lhould, therefore, propofe that the Deputy Lieutenants fhould meet for the porpofe of receiving the lilts, and that the da of their fo meeting fhould be the day of' appeal againli their names being continned in the Paid rill on account of any claim of - exemption. Theft !ins fhould be correeed assixeNi, and abßraßs of all he county rolls fhould be conftsintly tranfmitted t o Are of his MOefly's principal Secretaries of State, with a_ par ticular account of the exemptions el timed. Now, Sir, having thus proceeded through the fir' Rage of the plan as to enrolment, I fhnuld prop ofe, that his Majefly fhould have it in his power, ih tare et ac tual invafion, or even the approach of an eremy, Id order all the Lieutenants of every county, to call -nut, affemble, or embody, any of the perfora on the rolls (who 'were not exempted) according to their order of priority, in order to repel in va lion ; and that, during the time of their being fo called nut, they fhould be fobjeat to Military (lir elpfine, and liable to lave in any part of the king. dons, along with any of the willing corps or new corps which his hlajefly may think fit to appoint. I I fhould wills to limit their fervices to the time of invafion ; for as loon as the enemy were com pletely exterminated, or driven into the lea, they Ibould be entitled to return to their own homes, im mediately when that fervice was over. At the time of affembling, I fbould allow every man the rum of two guineas to defray neeeffary expenccs, and that they Ibould alto receive, from the officer under whom they keyed, the turn of one guinea, towards the ex pence attending their going home. Every man fhould be obliged to take an oath of fidelity and ter vice ; and that oath ought not only to extend to the:: oppofing an enemy, bat to reprefs any internal re hellion or infurreetion, fhould any Inch misfortune unhappily take place during the time of their being embodied. Thus, Sir, I have Rated, in general,the outline of the enrolment and Iffembling. I (hall now treat of the other part of the plan, I mean the cur cifing and training thefe men when thus enrolled.— ' The ancient Contlitution of this Realm alfo provides, that every man (/fluid be c -.arched in the ufe of arms. We may talk of the Rtength of the country in any manner we pleafe ; but it is my opinion, when men are not aßually trained to arms, to as to know how to ufe a firelnek when pat into their hands; that Inch drength h weakened in proportion to the degree of ignorance of military taßics. One of the hatntes I alluded to, called on all men to provide themfelres with arms, arrow-, etc. The ratinns townt in the kingdom rere called on to provide butts;'fin tae ex. • are/a of &owing wttb the bow, Jy the 33d .
