The order of the day heatig read for the second reading of this Bill, Thor Earl of Livi,e7oot rose, fur the purpose of calling their Lordships' attention to the propriety of introducing the present Bill. Whatever (hirer epee of opinion might eziat concerning the peat, as it regarded the state of our army, and whatever opiitioo Might exit in respect to any provisiutis fur the future, Is conceived no dilference of opinion *mufti he he upon toe measure now before the House. He sins happy to think, that, under all "the circunsstaucts, he Could congratulate their /Lordships upon the suite of our army. The num ber of our disposable ((tree, inebuliug the cavalry, amounted to about 210,000; hitt, although it taignt be esteemed a very effective army, still it was tie s:emery to recruit a number of battalions which were not complete. Massy of thent were composed of effective men, sod when the fore, ads united, formed an effective army ; hut, at the same tone, from hein4 defective to their proper en inher of men, taken separately, might not he termed eflicieut. The remedy was prescribed is this bill, the prin ciple glad been acted upon in former iustances, and hsd bees found successful, and in the present in stance, whatever variety of opinion might be eut r tained upon modes of augmenting nur regular army. us itypip i .icable to other systems, he trusted all would acquiesce in the propriety of agreeing to the measure, as most appropriate to the present occa-. sion. The mourner bore proposed of supplying the regular force from that of the militia, hail also the twain of pre meting the disorder led InsuKorifi nation remitting from the admission of re-end'''. unacquainted with discipline, according to the old practice. Having stated :dimity a few :mot ott servations upon the expediency of the bill, he thought there could be no objection to its oeing read a second time. Viscount Si:mourn said, he always had themght this method of recruiting the regular army front the militia regiments might never to he adopted, but when it Vide culled tor S) emergent neee,.sity. Whorl lice. first reiiorte.; to in 1299, and bad bee‘s adnyed at two pairicrilar permit. smeethat time. He had .trongly pressed upon the cuissideration of Parliament, the iiiipropriet f hitriao , recourse to this mode, unless it were tip., great and emergent occasions. Such lead been !us observatinua iu 1007. and 1805. Dovitig the year last inenti.lied, our army was its a situation totally different limn that of the preseut day. He Until:ol the Cover/too:tit of the country, he theta:tad the Atiotioistrutioa of last year for their aarntion to the angstemation of our disposable md although it Ow now eon. sirlerable. yet, to Fender it edequste to unr . piesent 'danger, he should give his rapport to the all ; but not without this cousideration, that the geney of our situation justified the adoption of the ' measlier. The Bill was then read a second time, and or detect to be committed tootorrow. The Earl of SOCltlllOHLMllititti bud bee.t in formed of there being a clause in the Bill injurious to the miners of Cornwall, and wished to inquire of the Noble Secretary if lie were aware of the cir cumstance The Earl of LITLIIPOOI, observed, there was such a clause, and, in the Committee, lie should move.
