BIEN 3b..c... Lord Alvanley. The Bills on the Table were read a third time. Thin: were several second readings of Bills. The Clerg. - Farming and Residence Bill passed the Comrhittes., and also two others. Ihe Earl of SUFFOLK said, he found the Clergy Farming and Residence Bill had passed the Coremitte.v. He must say, it did not come up to ele idea which he had eepeaed, in regard to creat i.ig tl.e better provision tor the inferior Clergy. — He had on a former day suggested one mode of creating a real additional income, viz. by all the beneficed Clergy contributing an aduaj tenth or fir fruits, to be taken in aid of Queen Anne's Bounty. He had-heard, that a measure was in contempla tion in the other House of Parliament ; he hoped it WAS not the repeal of one of the most beneficial Aas of Parliament that ever had passed (we presume his Lordship meant the Mortmain Act). The Earl added, that h'. had anxiously felt the necessity of making some better provision for the inferior Clergy, and had hoped, before providing for granting li cences for the Non-residence of the beneficed Clergy the present Bill, which had just passed the Com mittee, would have begun with enacting some mode of provision for the inferior Clergy. The LORI) CHANCELLOR said, the present Bill had not done what the Noble Earl so anxiously wished, under the belief that another Bill, formed with a view to the objea of the Noble Earl's anxiety, was in contemplation, and would soon be brought before both Houses. It did not, his Lordship said, become him to say more upon the subje't, or to un dertake to pledge himself that such a Bill would be so brought in, a.s he had stated, but he could assure the Noble Earl, that the obje& .of his wishes, had not been lost sight of during She proceedings on the present Hill. The Earl of SUFFOLK repeated his hope, that it was not meant to repeal the excellent statute, to which he had alluded, in order by that means to d i le& the important obje4 in question. _ ARMY OF RESERVE. Lord HOBART moved that this Bill be read a third time ; whicls being read, his Lordship moved two or three Amen.dtriernts, which ware agreed to. The I,PRD CIIAN-ELLOR put the question, wh , n The Earl of SUFFOLK asked, at what stage he might be allowed to deliver his sentiments, as a mi litary man, as to the best mode of defence that ought to be adopted by Ministers * ? flit LORD CHANCELLOR said, he might state on his putting the question, " that the 1i 11 pass." 1-hs Lordship then. put the question on the third reading, which was agreed to, and the Bill was read a third time. On the LORD CHANCELLOR putting the question " thllt this Bill do pass," The Earl of SUFFOLK rose, and began by re ferring to having been called to order on a former night. He insisted upon it he had not been out of order, much less nad he encroached upon His Majesty's Prerogative, as another Noble Lord had imputed to him. His Lorshipthen proceeded to resume his former arguments, and to dwell on the merits of the several officers he should have wished to have seen employed by Ministers in such a critical emergency as the present. He particularly mentioned Lord Grey, Lord Rawdon, and -General Lord Hutchin son, dwelling very forcibly on the strong claims to the confidence of Government and tl e country, which each of those Noble Lords possessed. He said, the strength of an army did not wholly con sist in its numbers, but on its being well officered, and well disciplined. He spoke of the etchievernints of the army employed m Egypt, and minutely stated, where and under whom, the component parts of that army had been disciplined; a great part of it under Lord Hutchinson, and the five thousand troops that went from Minorca, under a General now no more, General St:. irt. Having finished that division of his argument, he spoke of the advantages that resulted from the part ing from the rule of seniority in seleding Officers to command in chief on great enterprises and expedi tions. He complimented Lord St. Vincent oil his having boldly taken those officers which he had seve rally chosen to place at the head of squadrons and fleets, last war. Had he not departed from the routine of office, this country, in all probability, would never have derived the great and important advantages obtained by the Conqueror of Egypt. The French in the war of the Revolution lu4 owed much of their astonishing successes from having se laled men of the greatest courage and ability, some serjeants of dragoons,and others in subordinate ranks, and trusted them with commands of Brigades, and still higher stations in their army. He mentioned the origin of Massena, Moreau, Hoche, and many of their great Generals, as having been in very infe rior situations, when they were first taken and placed at the head of large bodies of troops. This pra&ice was, his Lordship said, adopted so early as Robespierre's time, and followed during all the periods in which France was under different rulers 1 'during the late war, with the highest success. His !Lordship having said much on this topic, passed on to another, which he had once before recommend ed, viz. the appointment of a Military Committee, 'to consist only of four of our ablest officers. He 'pointed out Lord Rawdon as a proper officerto be one t,' if the four, and one otherequally able,togcther with two of the first engineers in the service, might easily be found to form that Committee. He said, the success of France, during the late war, bad been principally owing to their having in stituted such a Committee, whose office it was to suggest plans of sieges, engagements, &c. &c. and to deliver those to the commanders hi chief in each &pennant, withorders to execute them. He -1.--- .wt said that k had been Carnot's lot to read the first Report of their Military Committee, and, by the great wisdom and policy of that Report, the merits of the men who drew it was found out, and they were immediately employed, and amply, by their victories in all quarters of the Continent, manifested the excellence of the choice of their services which had been made. After a variety of observations on this part of the subject, and strongly exhorting his Majesty's Ministers, his Lordship at length sat down. Lord CLIFTON (Earl of Darnley) rose, not, he assured the Learned Lord on the Woolsack, to revenge himself upon him, for having interrupted him the preceding evening. He by no means intend ed to detain their Lordships long, but there were some sentiments impressed uponhis mind so etringly, that he could not but anxiously wish to take that opportunity of stating them to their Lordships, and would promise to do it as shortly as he WAS able. Possibly the Noble and Learned Lord had inlet rupted him on a principle of modesty, under an ap prehension that he was about to pass a panegyriac on His Majesty's present Ministers, but such had 'not been his intention. He had no particular pre delidion for His Majesty's Ministers, nor any desire to over-rate their abilities. He thought abler men might have been found ; but from many votes of that, and the other Pouse of Parliament on dif ferent parts of their condad, it was. evident that they had the confidence of Parliament, and it WAS clear, that they also had the confidence of their Sovereign ; he had no right, therefore, to conclude, that they had not likewise the confidence of the country ; and he felt, under these particular circumstances of the moment, it was his duty, Is it was that of every mast who could do •it with a safe conscience, to afford them every 'support and assistance in his power. With regard to the present Bill, he thought it a wise and efficient measure, and he approved it the more, because, in his conscience, he believed it to be the only predicable mode cl sud denly raising a numerous and consi 4 erable body of forces for the internal defence of the kingdom. He trusted it would be found to be a most useful Bill, and the effed extremely beneficial to the public set/ vice. His Lordship said, he could not but regret, that, day after day, they heard from military charaders of great authority, that the country could not be saved by regular f'orce.s, at the very time, and in the very breath, that these high military authorities indee vidually confessed, that recruits fer regiments of the line were not; to be had. It was becornc_a pradiee to bow implicitly to such doftrines, and to consider such subjects as fit to be debated on by Minis ters and military men only Upon this sinciple, he supposed, Qucd medi:ortste est, prom thins mede, ; tratiant fabri!ia fabri. He certainly was neither Me. dicui nor faber ; neither a Minister, no; a militaly man, but still he thought himself as much entitled to discuss the object of the present Bill, and all that related to the defence of the country, as any other description of men, whether political me y ; and he could not think that the sort of arguments we had frequently beard, of the nature to which he alluded, were more likely to excite to despondency, than to rouse the general spirit cf the people. What was it but telling them that the country must be lost, becausewehed not so large a disposaele force asmight bewishedfor? Nay,inthe mannerofstating their argue ments, these great military charaelers very incauti ously acted, because what fell from such high authority could not but make a deep. impression without doors, and must tend to create dismay and distrust in the people as to their security and safety. A Noble Lord had the other night, in that House, publicly avowed, that there was to his knowledge one brie gade, consisting of four battalions, in a state of the most shameful incompletion. He thought such a declaration mischievous to the last degree; he did not mean to charge the Noble Lord with having made it with any mischievous design ; he knew that he made it with the best possible motive, and with a view to rouse the energies of the people, aad prompt them to execution ; but he must contend that it was more likely to damp their spirit and depress their ardour, by diminishing their confidence in the Go vernment of the Country. He had hoped that his Majesty's Ministers would have instantly risen and contradided the fad • and if it should have happen ed that a single brig ade WAS in such a miserable sie • tuation, that Ministers would have assured the House that the battalions of that brigade 'would shortly be completed. Indeed they might, with great. truth, have stated, that the other regiments of the line were complete, and they had it in their poWer to have stated several ; for instance, the Guards, the Cavalry, and various other corps.--etle ad mitted, that if the regiments of the line could be completed, it would be must desirable. But so far was he from thinking, that only the regulars could save the • country, that he felt confident that the country would be saved, even if the present Bill did not pass, though he thought it perfedly wise in Mi nisters to have brought it forward, end he would be the last man living to protrad its passing by any unnecessary argument. He must, hoWtver, be per mitted to say, that he had not the smetest appree hensions of the want of energy, either IR Govern ment, or of spirit in the people. Put It sword into an Englishman's hand, and he would feel like an Englishman, and fight in an undaunted manner, when he feels that he is fighting to repel a daring and insolent invader. The whole country would, he had no doubt, rise and join such an enemy as was likely to be opposed to us ; let no mass, there• fore, despair, or droop for a moment. Let him but exert himself in the common cause, in propor tion as the exigency of the circumstance might re quire, and we might be assured of defending not only every part of the country, but of punishing, in the most exemplary manner, the despot who dared attempt to land an army on our shores, His Lord ship said, that feeling, as he did, he. could not but reprobate, in tie strongets terms, a speech delivered M another place, by a military cearader ; and which Parliamentary forms forbad him, in 4 more than general way, to alludi. to. In that speeele it had been thrown out, that we were vithieridele its yarions points, and that the eaeray might, in the mine at- t Z COALS.
