of becoming acquaioted, that he wished to say a few word*. No Man who did not see him in tint ,bosom of ti ts family and his friends, could con. -ceive how sit individual that hid devoted so linge a portion of , his etistence to public cares', and that laboured so much and had gained such in calculable benefits for his country, could unbend his great mind, and resign himself **completely ✓s he slid to the simple pleasures of domestic life, tranquil retirmeetit, mid literary leisure—and above all, to the snlepspeat of the beauties of nature, s od the delightfakeed romantic scenery by which his residence me surrounded, to which he gave himself op with all the ardour mid freshness of youth.—(Hear.)—Oise important lesson he thought was to be let;rneil from Mr. Grattan's Career—how derply the ;deficits of private worth entered into the composition of meritorious public character— Iffeas. hear)—and it might be said that public 'were struck their roots so deeply, b e cause they were grounded on the basis of the domestic affec. i ions. ((, it et rs.) Mr. Wit.nEtwoßce said, that Mr. Grattan was • man in whom all selfish views, all private lute. rests were extinguished in love for his country—the whole of the ficultiea, and energies of whose mind were directed iiinirlabTy to one object, the advance ment of the welfare of his compatriots; and he rejoiced to ..verve the admiration and reverence which so exahed a character inspired, triumphant over all partyfeelings and considerations, and that all riles of the House were anxious to render jus tice to the clime of so great and good a character. It was pecu!:.ir to Mr. Grattan to have triumphed over every thhig, even what might be thought his own favourite feelings. That he was no friend to the Union o , :t. well known; lint he well recollected that afterwar•fs, when there was reason to fear that the love of I:berty which he had infused into his countrymen might tempt them to seek for freedom through lire:.ttuusuess, instead of embracing the sober benefits und excellencies of the British Con etituti al, Mr. Grattan hesitated not to risk the loos of his popularity to open their eyes and unde ceive them.---(.4ppluitse.) Mr. V. PI rzriEttsi.n hoped it would be pet 'aided to an Iridium' to give some expression to those feelings which he entertained in common with all Gentlemen in the House, but which he trusted a countryman of Mr. Grattint's would be allowed is feel PIMA' warmly than others. The lion. and Learned Gentleman who had made the motion had dwelt upon the character of the illustrious man with great eloquence and feeling. It certainly was true, that if yuu would read the history of Grattan, you must read the history of frelsod—(Hear, hear) — tor all the events attendant on establishing the in depondeisee of Ireland. were nut only connected with his name but effected by his talents. The chief glory of his triumph was, to make use of langeoge applied to Lord Charlemont—alone in ilia history of empim, a revolution was achieved without shedding one drop of Anniois as he was to avoid any thing which might grit rise to a difference of opinion, it was imps. 'sable to contemplate Mr. Grattan's death without ,tnrlverua~; in some manner to that question which at Ins Last moments occupied his whole heart and soul. There was in the very consecration which the Ideation 11 . 14 received by Ito end, enough to justify 14 in a4t4tting to it. As from his life it had re •feived the greatest support, so he confidently hoped obis% from huts death it would derive its final success and consummation. — (Hear.) M. Yin° Er ALD was anxious to give utter. to thcse feeling's which roast animate every Irish heart, tin the loss of that individual who was on doubirilly the most useful and dlstioguished-patriot that :salami ever had. All descriptions of men its Irrhisid.froto the highest to the lowest, concurred in sorrow fur his death, respect for his usemory,and heart telt .gratitude for the services which be had rendered hie country. It was not his intention to miter on a formal inme•gyric, but he shotild take the liberty to *rad a document which contrived au account of the hnit (as we understood) words held by Mr. Grottoes on the Catholic Question. It was immediately after committed to writing by a friend, and intrust. rd to Kim (Mr. Fitzgerald) to be employed to the way in which he then used it.—(Hear, hear,) — The paper which he then read was to the follumug . .:Ifect :—" I wished to have gone to the House of Ceaseless to bring forward your question, but I clothe* ;:the hand of death is upon me. I can meet death; but I fear for my country if this question is NM/ Curried.—.(Hear.)—The Catholics are loyal mess, and should not be coudemued to political tar feriosity because they worship God in their own way. I wish the question were settled, because I *Wok it essential to the permatiency of the con flexion between the two countries." The document . thep conveyed monition againat uniting with the ra. dirisl reformers of Esigland, and concluded-thus:— Z . ' One thing more.; carefully avoid making your ochres partite to any disseutions which may AMR be tween the brooches of the Royal Family"'—( Hear.) —He (Mr. F.) was sure the effect of this precept sdould not be lost on those for whom it was intended. The gentles was then put and carried. PROTECTING DUTIES, Sue. Sir:H. PARNELL moved that - a Select Committee he apisotisted to consider the provisions of the Act a Union between England and Ireland in eels. twit to trade, and to report their opinions on the duties laid on the produce of either, country when !moulted into that of the other. A Member, with whose name we are oosequoiot 44secoodeol the motion. ;kr. V. FITZGERALD hoped his Right Bon. Erteud (she Cinnicellor of the Exchequer), would %fellow Use Committee. lie Itheve that nothing 3.01 40 he more productive of discolitent mad Warm ;iniceliazid than such a measure. The expiration of /Vic Act of Calicos) did not point owt the period %hen those duties should cease, but the time when any legislative interference could properly take Oder. Lord A 1.T11012 supported the motioo. Mr. WILMOT .poke to favou► of the Committee. Ti.e C H a NtiLLOS, of the Excuseuaa thought be should ht guilty of injustice both to this cams. try and Irelmid, if be sa►ctioned the appointment of the Committee proposed by the Hon. Dame, The tusoutactarers bad, upon the faith of the existiug duties being continued, entered into large *peculation., and any measure like that proposed Would go to create discontent and alum itt the public toned. .Mr. Calms, was for going into ,the ,sot foe t 4 porpram of repealing the existing dn. ties, but with a view to ascertain the period fur which it would be necessary to continue theme. Sir N. Cotmutts? hoped that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not accede to the motion of the Hou. Baronet. He knew that it would be productive of considerable alarm and discontent in that part .of the country with whiCh he was con. nected (Cork). At a period like the present, when the public distresses of that country were so great from recent failures (mud that distress exceeded all belief). it was of the utmost importance to avoid all subject of discontent or alarm. Lord CArri.slesAoH coincided with the Hon. Baronet who had just sat down. He was aware that mnch distress prevailed in the South of Ire land from the recent failure of public credit. and it was necessary to giv e as much tranquillity as pus. sible to the public wind. On these grounds he opposed the motion. . . Mr. Hume e. it Mr. W. PAusir, supported the motion. The CHANcEct.ott of thetiiiettosa. explained. Mr. SHAW said, that though he agreed with the Honourable Member for Waterford (Sir J. New. run), that a graditated scale of reduction would be best, yet he should not oppose the present motion, as, if he did so, the question would be thrown back to next year. After a few words from General HAIM— Sir H. PAIN ELI, rose to reply. He said, thin fruin what had beep urged *Oast his mottos,. he felt it the more elect:MeV to take the sense of the House upon it. The House then diviandit. For the Commir:ee Against it •••• .66 Maim% against ...... 36 It was ordered, on the motion of Mr. Slaw, that there be laid before the House an Account of the Amount of the Dublin Grand Jury Cess for the last six years, ending the Ist January, 1820, the Amount charged to each Parish, the Insolvency and He-awes, and the Amount lost by Collectors; also the Total Amount charged within the same period for Watching, Paving, and Lighting the said City. MUTINY BI LL. Lord Pacmgarrom moved the Order of the Day for the thiro reading of the Mutiny Bill. The Order being read, •• That this Bill be now read the third time"— Lord NUORNT begged to inquire whether the first Resolution included the service for India ? Lord PALMERSTON said, that the Resolution bad better be read.—lt was read by the Clerk, it did not include that service. Lord NUGENT then rose. He said it was far from his wish to enter at length into the details of this question. He feared the motives *by which he was actuated, in addressing the House, would make but little impression on the Gentlemen opposite ; the few observations which he had to make should therefore be applied to the principle, not to the de tails of the subject ouster discussion. He felt, however, that he should abuse the time of the House if he confined himself to that cold and unin teresting matter (he said it with deference to the Noble Lord), in which the estimates of so great a military force, in time of peace, were atimially brought forward. The maintenance of a large standing army in time of peace was always looked upon with an eye of joiloasy ; it was a jealousy formerly strongly felt, bat he feared that it had now become en old4ashioned feeling. He should be sorry if such was t h e case, bat he could not help thinking that it ass the filet. He did not, for himself, see the necessity of maintain ing such a force; he thought, indeed, that • better mode of lefence Might, in times like the present, he resorted to. He considered that face, with reference to its avowed application, as worse than useless; be considered that it was sup. ported in contredietion to the soundest principles of the Constitution. It would, he said, Worm our ancestors, if they could contemplate the present situation of the country—if they could look at the state of our military( establishinents. After five years of profound peace we hive au army of ninety. two thousand men, exclusive of twelve thousand yeomanry and oilier force ! Whit did this force meant Whet was it but * .gigantie stride towards a military Government (Hear, bear.)—He looked in vain, from what fell from the Noble Lord in the recent debates in that House. for any thing that, in the state of thus country, in the temper and feelings of the people, could justify this monstrous 'evolution in the constitutional go. moment of England. The Noble Lord seemed to rest the vindication of Ministers on the notoriety of the neceseity for calling out that force. He wee not disposed to admit as a postulate of the No ble 4.ord's, that *sty thing which had recently sic .carted in the country did justify so greet a change in the-Councils end Government. He recollected that about four year* ago, a set of estimates to a reasiderable amount was laid -before the House. He must remind the House that on o former occa sion, when Ministers hutting lost the Property TUX, .they withdrew the Army Estimates, and that cir cumstance gave him hopes that 011 consideration they would conceive thia.sonsething less than 92.000 men would now be suftirient. The Finance Com. minim, in the year 817-..• year, be it remembered, ' of such imagined danger, Mot his Majesty's Nis! nisters had thought fit to suspend the lisket Corpus Act—in that year the Finance Coin mime bad recommended all approximation of the array to the standard of the year 1792. He admitted the public distress, and consequent di... affectiou which existed, but he .contended they were aggravated by the course now pursued. There was a Committee in another place on the Foreign Trade, and they had a Committee of their own on the Agricultural Distresses, but they could only come to the cinichisioe, that a large stanirflog army was not .the wey which the distresses of the 11121111araCe turer could be relieved, the enterprise of the met cheat reanimated. or by which the farmer could be restored talus farm es it was beforeit raps ruined by taxation, end, abuse all, At wise riot the way to reclaim the public confidence in that House, and convince the nipple that it stood where the coasts. % (mien had pieced it, as.• harrier between the public and a system of profinissil end estravirtice lipentl.' leled. The Noble Lord dieetsimed goy inteiitioo to give expreaaion etteidelitiii;l .14eubeuirs bast bit mast deprecate .the.fteireptiutterieterce of the *k ing ee ell accatsieutt; the other.dity they were .colksi Nem= in on the occasion of the election of a Member of that House. He MVO still contend that the addition last .year, in time of profound peace, of eleven thousand men to the military force, was • total violation of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as being raised without the consent of Parliament, and when the Parliament did meet it had not even been %bought necessary to apply for • Bill of Indemnity. He considered the additional burden on the country. as by far the least part of the evil, yet if the amendment which he should propose was carried, the avianl saving would be above half a million, The Noble Lord concluded by conjuring the House, if they would long pre. their own existence and the Constitution of the country, that they would vigilantly di (charge their ditty in Presenting a check to the system of governing by means of •.standing army. He then moved, that in place of 9t,224 men. 77,444 should be substituted. The SPEARER observed, that after the Bill watt read the third time would be the proper period to propose the amendment. The Bill w a s the n read the third time, and on the Speaker putting the question for the amendment, Mr. BRIGHT (we believe) rose and said, that he could see no reason to increase the establishment beyond that of the year 170. It was true that Many changes had occurred since then, and many bad scenes been witnessed ;among others, that of a military body charging an assemblage of persons who, whether legally met together or not, he would not say. yet it was certsiii that they considered themselves a legal assembly. He did not be. !stye in the existence of any disaffection to the constitution of King, Lords, ea Commons, though doubtless the -pet.ple thought there were some things which might be amended, and in that clays they included the extraordinary iucrease of the military force. To the amount of that increase he would support the proposition of the Nohle Lord, and if Ministers would not consent to that modification, he would vote for the entire proposition. . . Lord PALMERSTOW rate and said, that the sr gumetits of the Noble Lord might be divided into two parts—his objections applying. in the first place, to the extent of the military force generally ; and, secondly, to the particular increase of 11;000 men. The Noble Lord had mid, that so reason had ever been given to chew the insufficiency of the establishment of 179 t, and quoted the authority of the Finance Committee on that point. But really the question had been so frequently dis.. cussed, and the reasons for thinking the force of the sear 1752 insufficient for the present time, so often stated by himself, that he felt ashamed of troubling the House with the repetition. The in. crease in the number. extent, and importance of our colonies, was the broad line of distinction he tweet, the year 179 i and the present' time. He would not enter into the details, but merely name the Joule') Islands, the Cape of Good Hope, the Mauritius. and our possessions in North America, as part of oar extended colonial possession., which required protection. As to the increase of 11,000 men last year, if the Noble Lord looked back throughout the whole of our history, he would And that all segmentations of oar force took place in time of peace (cerosisily looking forward to a state of war).—( Load cries of " Hear, hear,"frons the Opposition Benches/.—He understood the meaning of those cheers; but Gentlemen certainly would not contend for there being any distinctioa between an external war and an intermit commo tion. When the Noble Lord stated that raising troops without consent of Parliament was onion. ful, he fully concurred with him ; but be must contend the consent of Parliament bad been oh. tained, so far as under the circumstances it was possible to obtain it. The Speroh from She Throne mentioned the fact. and Parliament its their Addresser, in answer. had adverted to it, besides which • specific sum of money had been rioted for that service. If the Noble Lord considered it so great a violation of the Constitution, they had much to answer for, for not having before brought it under the consideration of Parliament. But the Noble Lord might say if the measure was necessary when it took place. it must also 'be shewn to be ne. cessary now. He would not for that purpose advert to the plot so recently discovered an London; but did not the Noble Lord know that trials of • great number of individuals were now about to take place io both Yorkshire end Scot. land for the crime of high treason ? Did be not know that in March last large bodies of Brined men proceeded to acts of hostility against the King's troops ,? Had he never heard of • proclamation issued at Glasgow ? When some of these circus 'truces had occurred so lately as March and April last, it was too much to contend that Government ought now to lay down those means which. from those very circumstances, they were cols. pelted to take up. The Noble Lord had, foi the thousand and one time, brought forward the grave and serious charge spine his Ma. .jesty'a Government of intending so military government, u topic morit,rilikhy of au diences at Palace-yard, or the huinioga of Covent. garden. The Noble Lord bad talked of Ilse gi. vutic strides made towards despotism, bot at was to the miscalled Reformers that he ought to have addressed himself. end nut to those who endeavour. ed to defeat their mischievous iitojects. As his Majesty's Government did nut make the increase Au the force till compelled by iiecessity, wither had they sheath any disposition to retain it • tuvoneitt longer than the necessity should rant. the Noble Lord had charged the Governthent with • depar. *ere from the principles of the Revolt:tams, but if those Stateroom who brought sibout that voratsvellt could took down upon the present times, he was gene sure the Noble Lord would not have the *auction of th-o.• authority.

He concluded 6y moving, as an einesidonent on the ainerirtment of Lord Nugent, that 80,479 should be the nosiber of men for the year. The SPRAKIIR thou put the question. that 4 . 1 the words proposed to be left out du stated as pert of the Oa". Sir H. liYiteti said, that having had the honour to be appointed on the Staff iii Scodissid at the time the augme•tatiouseinalsdaiiied of took place, he rose for the por i e.se of silting some facts which came within Isis 4.1'111 knowledge. The powsliniou of Glasgow, consisting of nearly 200.000 persons, were in a *tote of discontent not to be conceived. The Field Officer Of the 7'h regiment had informed that to that neighbourhood he had seen a body of 2.5,000 men, not armed certaiiily, but they dispersed in a manner so regular, that It would have been highly creditable to any body of disciplined trnopa whatever. A good deal had been said about the yeomanry ; they certainly were a delierviog body of men, hut lie would by all means recommend their not being opposed in the first instance to any popular uniumotiosi ; and he was ellti'lled that the affray which took place at Greenock would not have occurred had the ea cort been of the. regular troops. He deprecated soy reduction of the .forces now. as • misplaced and false economy. which would infallibly lead to future evil consequences. He denied that he how rose as w defender of the rimy, and he hoped lie had sufficient liberality to feel, that when circuni. stances wield admit of it, the army must make sis erifices. its well as every other class of the com munity. ' Mr. Houle/vie said. that the Noble Lord op. ' pselte, who talked about topics fit for the suds. mime of Palete-yard, and the hustings at Covent. garden, did not appear to know, that by the ester. lions of himself end leis colleagues there could be no meetings in Palace-yard, and wily at stated periods in Covent-garden. He considered that the embodying of the additional force was an infring ment of the Bill of Rights ; and so to the necessity taw, which did not exist in 1794, he denied that there was any ; for in 1793, after the King of France had been put to death, an increase of 4,000 men only took place. He should vote for the proposition of the Noble Lord, because it wrist fur. titer than that of the gallant Colonel (Davies); and if the Noble Lnrd had voted the reduction of the whole army, he should have voted with him.— (Hear, hear, hear.).--I'e perfectly understood She meaning of those cheers. The Noble Lord was backed by his parliamentary majorities and • standing army; whilst he (Mr. Hobliouse) had nothing to support him but the consciousiress of doing his duty. The real question was, if the country was to be governed by a standing army or not ; and on .this head lie would quote what had been said by . Fletcher of Saltoun, .1 that there were doubts if • standing army could vaiiqnish our foreign enemies, but no doubt whatever that they could enslave us," The Hots. Member here reca pitulated the progress of the standing army in this oniony from its first forinstiosi, in the appowtmelit of fifty yeomen of the guard by Henry VII. down to the present time. He observed, that dames 11. at tempted to maintain 30,000 men; we had slow 35,000 men for Englatid only ; they were not. it was true, encamped at Hounslow. but if that Nouse of Coal mons did its duty. he expected to see them there. Standing ramie' and standing Parliaments came in end continue to flourish together, but he hoped the ooe would soon be shortened, and the other diminish ed in an ego's! propertiou. The topics he had urged on their attention were not new ; they were the sen timents of the political ancestors of. very man who sat in that Houle. Against an establishment at the sitoposit of eighteen thousand men had been ar rayed the wit of Lord Chesterfield, the poli tical knowledge of Sir William Wyndham, and the sound sense of Sir Robert Walpole. He thought it rather singular that the 2.5.000 mess who had been seen by the officer, as stated by the gal lant General opposite. considering the space of ground which they must occupy, had bees. seers by no one else, and had newer been beard of till that moment. In proof that there was no necessity for so large • force to put down internal commotion'', he alluded to the ease with which in London Alder: maim Wood had put down en apparently formidable tueetiug; at Derby one officer and IM men sufficed to crush au insurrection ; and at Mericlieder 100.000 people had been dispersed by a small num ber of drunken yeomanry. As to seditious pubis. cations, he professed to regard them as of ho eKet whatever. if no cause for complaint really existed ; but if cause for universal complaint did exist, It not be 94,000 men which could prevent the catastrophe winch Ministers dreaded. Colonel Dents sad Sir H. VINIAN mutually explained. Mr. VIIICY FITZGERALD WWI persuaded that uothime but a erase of duty could hove occasioned the delsiery of the extraordinary expressions arid Sentiments which the House Is id just heard.
