He wished not to carry Anal exemption forth, or to sanflion applications for service afro the date appointed. If there was an instance wl.eie any offer had been made, and not accepted, bade.: the eed of June, exemptions ought to follow. S., far as he had stated exemptions ought toeat.nd and no &niter. Lord TEMPLE, in reply to an allusion which he conceived made to him, said, he never argued in fa vour of exemptions to volunteers or persons engaged only for temporary service. What he objected) to was, that any difference should be made between those volunteers who were aelually enrolled, and others who might have offered themselves on the same or a previoes day, but were not returned by the commanding officer. Colonel FULLER thought it right, that all who should offer for the Yeomanry Cavalry, might be exempted from a ballot foi the Army of Reserve. Sir WILLIAM GEARY said, he should not objeet to exemptions being withheld from all those weo had not served or enrolled themselves in the Volunteer Corps during the fierier seer, but thought it unfair that any persons should suffer for the nee glut of a commanding officer. The CPANCELLOR cf the EXCHEQUF R said, that hi felt the equity of tee observation, that an opportunity would be given to persons in cilia predicament to renew their offers. The SECRETARY at WAR said, there was a considerable difference between the services of corps and the services of individuals. The first must be accepted by the Secretary of State, in the name of His Majesty ; the latter must be accepted by the commanding officer, and returned by him to the Board of Lieutenants. It was proposed by the clause to exempt all those echo had offered their services before the 22c1 of June. Lord TEMPLE expressed himself satisfied with this eeplanation. The SECRETARY at WAR thought it right thus early to give notice, that it was his intention to bring in a Bill respelling the Yeomanry and Vo lunteer Corps, accompanied with certain regulations in regard to the latter. Mr. STURGESS thought it superfluous to 'es:- empt persons offering themselves for garrison duty, because if they did not enrol themselves till the time of aelual invasion, there was no merit in doing se, As hii Majesty could then compel them to serve. Mr. BRAGGE said, they would he always use ful in every emergency, and were willing to serve in a district of near twelve miles in extent. The SECRETARY at WAR said, they wo:eld be required to do no more than gar r is on d ut y i n tie first instance, and there Wits no doubt hut that they, as well as every other corps, would be ready .to march out in case of actual invasion. He did net wish to ask more than people were willing or dis posed to perform. But at present in garrison thee would be found useful in guarding stores, prisoners, &c. Sir WILLIAM GEARY, Mr. STURGESS, General TAR L ETON, and others, spoke, after which the clause was agreed to. An amendment was made in the clause, page 7, ordering the returns to be made to the Clerks insteed of the Deputy Lieutenants of counties. The SECRETARY at WAR proposed a clause for enabling his Majesty to extend the services of ' such regiments or battalions to any part of the Ueited Kingdom, and the islands of Jersey and Guernsey. Also enacting that the men so raised may be ordi r ed ro join any reeiments cif the line serving in the said places, which regiments were not to be ordered and sent abroad whilst any ,of those men were amongst them ; and that the men so ballotted should not be sent abroad unless they should freely and vo luntarily enlist in the regulars after having been previously discharged. cAoitel ell A eIFORD expressed his anxiety, at this critical period, to have all the regiments of the line completely filled irp, and all sup plied. With this impression so strong upon him, he confessed th.‘t he could not contemplate the present measie e, hat with the most painful regret. The SECRETARY at WAR observed, in reply, that it was in the power of his Majesty, by the pre sent Bill, to place the new-raised min in any regi ments he might think proper, but place them in such a manner, that they must be sure of the good faith of the country being inviolably kept. The re giment.; to which any of those troops or men should be adjoined or incorporated, might be sent abroad, but could not be removed till any of those men who might be amongst them should either be drafted from them or discharged. It was necess: ry that the limits of their services should be accurate y de fined. It might happen that there may be five or , ix regiments short of their complement, and filled up by the .2 new levies; but if it was necessary to employ tech regiments on ti reigo service, all these men must Ile previously turned over. Thus was it proposed to proceed in a mild sped gentle manner ; for those who were not acquainted with the charaeler of the people of this country must know, that much more can he done wizh them by manag ement, and fair means, than by any degrees of violeuce or compul sion: If this was not thoroughly explained so as to satisfy the people, the measure itself would be li able to misrepresentation, and the men, when *nt to join regular regiments, might entertain the suspi cion that they were going to be trepanned. Colonel CRAUFOIW did not think it necessary to keep regiments of the line at home e merely because there might be some of these new levies amongst them now mere then at other times ; and, as an in stance of the rule being occasionally devisted from,• he stated, that, amongst other regiments, the .40th was sent to Holland, and afterwards to egypt, though a great part of it was composed of Militia men, who had not enlisted in the regulars. Mr. SHERIDAN concurred in the opinion that it was necessary that good faith should not only be kept, but also that the men should, know that it would be kept. Though the men should be allowed to enlist into the line, it was not to be a condition thet they were expeeted to become volunteers, or that even such a thing should be looked of them. He should ever übjeti to deliberative soldiers, who, if . ip -....1 r i •, .4 c .q k\Z' • , . '! 4 .." !.:,'.`i; - I ~i` .. Lt THURSDAY. JUNE 30, 1803. IRELAND.

HOUSE OF LORDS. WEDS E-13 JVINTZ 29. Tie Irish Qualifying indeln-iiti Bill, the Irish Corn Bill, and the Irish Ship Proteaion Bill, were read a third time. and passed. Lord WALSINGHAM moved, that the consi deration of the Standing Ord,r, No. 126, be ad journed till Friday next.---Ordered. And that the Standing Order, No. 154, be taken into considera tion at the same time. The Tonnage Duty BiJ, the Raw Hides Duty Bill, Two Excise Duties Bills, and t!..e Militia Offi cers Augmentation Bill, and two Priv 'e Bills, were brought up from the Commons, and presented by Mr. Alexander and others, and read a first time. Adjourned. The House resolved itself into a Committee on the National Defence Bill. The SECRETARY at WAR observed, that in several clauses of the Bill words had been left out, which he would introduce in order to have them ned up. One of them respelled the enrolling of the Volume.:r Corps, and he would propose that the Honourable Artillery of the city of London should be inserted accepted. Mr. C. WYNNE said, he understood when the Volunteer Corps were disbanded, tl,t they were to be enlisted again on the appearance of war. If two corps were to offer their services, one in the month of May, and the other after the subsequent regulations, he did not see why one should he placed in a worse situation than the other. He though:, upon the whole, that the word " accepted " should he altered in the clause for "offered." The CH AN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sa;J, that no persons who had tarred their services in a Volunteer Corps, since the 2e2d of the month, could be accepted. The Gocernment had adopted 'that resolution fin- the public good. 11411 Int.l been accepted who had offered their services, th e re would have been no end of exemptions ; they would have been carried to such an enormous extent, that the public service, in the present instance, would have been prevented. It was done to reduce the pressure which would have fallen on the population, and to avoid affording an unjust exemption for service, that would have proved inadequate to the public neces sity. He deferred entering upon the offers that had been made since tne settlement of puce in the king dom. The argument of an Hon. Gentleman, he understood, went to prove, how far the different corps were entitled to have their services accepted. To disturb the regulations would appear unjustifia ble, and he trusted the Committee would not sane ' tion the receiving of any offers of service, on the part of Volunteer Corps, after the 22d of the present month. Dr. LAWRENCE said, it appeared that all the 'Volunteer Corps had formerly been invited to enter, how it was then, that the door was shat against them, he could not tell ; he thought the Govern ment might have told them how far they could be exempted from the present service, when their offers of service were presented. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob served, that his Hon. and Learned Friend had said, that the different Volunteer Corps had been invited by Government to make offers of their service—it was true, such offers had been made, but the dis cretionary power, at the jutaft ire on which those services were offered, did not accept of them. The House and the Country had reason to know, His Majesty's Government were justifiable in such a re fu,al. The Honourable Member had thrown an imputation, as if there had been a violation of faith on the part of . Ministers. No exemp tions, at the time the offers of service were made, was held out, as no specific plan for the de fence of the country, like the present one, was then known. He therefore contended that Government Were restrained from exempting any body of men in preference; and no willingness of receiving volun teer service was held out, as had been intimated. Dr. LAWRENCE, in explanation, said, he still contended that his Majesty's Ministers had not given the Volunteer Corps notice of the motives for reject ing the offers of their service as early as Govern ment should have done. General GASCOIGNE took the question in a dif ferent sense; there were many corps that had made application to srve as volunteers, merely to be ex. empted from the levy which would ensue. It was against his sentiments that the present time, viz. the 22d of June, was so recent, it should have been before that. The motive through which many had applied to serve as volunteers was to he exempted, and if th' list of such was examined, it woald be found they consisted of persons who were immediately fit for the proposed estab lishment. He wished the date of the time of ex cluding such persons had been fixed on the first day of June ; but he should not say any thing further on that subjea, as he did not wish to oppose the Bill in question. Doaor LAWRENCE said a few words further in explanation. Sir WILLIAM CEARY spoke in behalf of Vo lunteer Corps. The SECRETARY at WAR explained. Mr. PIT observed, that if it was understood by His Majesty's Ministers in the eatliest stages of the papet then laid before the House, at least if it was considered at an earlier period than that on which the House came to discuss the subjeet, he could not see any ground for tolerating exemptions which might savour of injustice. If Volunteer Corps had shcwn a fair and honourable zeal to de fend the country, he could not suppose they were entitled to any imputation, otherwise than honour able. The motives for the general defence made it appear necessary that a certain number of volun teers should be raised, and the public exigence he I trusted would render such persons desirous that a force should be raised to co-operate with Om ; in order that all might be trained, it would be neces sary to form that discipline among all corps, that volunteers might rally. He trusted that Volunteer Corps, who were comparatively small in their en deavours, when compared with the great bodies which would be united for the national defence, would fly to the main body te co-operate as necessity should require. There was no one less inclined to undervalue the services of Volunteer Companies more than he was, but our public exertions at the present period must be attended to, and a large force might be necessary to meet the public service. He did not wish to interfere with that regulation which raised the volunteers. He could wish, how ever, that the term of serving during fbur years, might - not amount to an exemption after that servi tude, provided the war went on. Ministers should guard against abuse ; but whatever exemptions they allowed, they should not lose sight of that force to which all volunteers must rally for general security. On Abase grounds he saw how Tar exo e ptitouis with 'era to Volunteer Corps. ought HOUSE OF COMMONS. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4 29. The Hon. J. SOMMERS COCKS brought up a Report relative to different breweries, and the use of an ingredient called quashey, adopted by brewers in lieu of hops. The beer, he observed, would in future prove extremely unwtrolesorne to the poor, who were almost supported by that beverage alone. He called the attention of the House towards inter fering to preve.it the disasters which must continue, unless something was done to prevent such praltices. The Report ordered to lie on the Table. The Clergy Farming and Residence Bill was or. dered to be taken into consideration on Friday next. A Message from the Lards stated their Lordships assent to the Irish Ship-burning Bill, the Corn In tercourse Bill, Irish Militia 'transfer Bill, Militia Officers Qualification Bill, and various other private Bills. The Bill passed for enlarging the Limits of the Southern Whale Fishery. On the Order of the Day being moved for read ing a third time the Woollen Clothiers Bill, Mr. BROOK observed, an Hon. Admiral had stated, on Monday last, that out of the whole i,um. bee of persons nho signed the Petition relative to the Woollen Trade, there were no more than two clothiers. He had, since that period, made enquiry, and found, that although the persons whose names were signed in that Petition, had not adually served apprenticeships to woollen clothiers, the whole of them had been employed in the diGrent branches of that business, almost during their lives. He ob served, seven-eighths of the people engaged in the clothing trade were against the Bill. It was a re peal of all the Ads made since the reign of Ri chard 11. down to George I. It became a subject of general advantage to the country, to consider upon the occasion, and he hoped some Member would endeavour to alter, revise, and amend the Bill. Mr. BURL AND entered into a discussion of the several clauses contained in the Bill, and the nature in which the manufadory of cloth was at present carried on, many branches of which, he con tended, was detrimental to the trade. He quoted the publication of an author who had written from ex perience on the subject, to prove that the great ma nufadory system ought not to be adopted; and con chided with expressing his belief that it would be proper to preserve the outlines of the Bill, and to introduce as many clauses into the same as might appear necessary. The question was then put, whether the Bill should be read a third time, or at the end of three months. Mr. DICKENSON, Jun. did not approve of the objedions which had been made to the Bill; he ob served, that there were a hundred reasons for re taining the different Ads of Parliament contained in the Bill. Mr. WILBERFORCE stated, that he had just received several documents relative to the petitions; but was not finally prepared to investigate the ori ginal claims of the petitions at that time, as he had not been allowed time to peruse the said papers. Mr. DUNDAS spoke to order, observing, that the public service required that other business should occupy the attention of the 'louse of more conse quence than the present. Mr. HOBHOUSE observed, that business relat ing to the safety of the country,. became of more consequence to the public interest than that which took up the attention of the House. Admiral BERKLEY said, it was necessary to hear the evidence which the petitioners had to ad vance, which he observed was all on one side. Mr. BUBLAND spoke to order, complaining that the Gallant Admiral anticipated the evidence. The Bill was then ordered to be read a third time on Friday next. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice, that the Real Property Bill would be read on Friday next. 'I he SECRETARY at WAR implied his inter!. i of again bringing forward the business relative to the Corps of Reserve, Colonel CRAUFORD spoke a few words re speaing the Militia. General GASCOIGNE intimated, that several Members would be inclined to express their senti ments on the proposed subjeß. ' • "
