T _vw Mr. PAM. raid, the Hoe. Gentlemen, (Mr. Ilanks,) would shortly have an opportunity of put tic g his suggestion this night into the shape of a mo tion, as in the course of nest week, he, (61.r.Paui,) 'mild submit to the House, the Oude and Fer ruckabad charges. He then proposed a long string of motions for different accounts and papers rela tive to India. which were agreed to. Sir .1. NEWPORT gave notice, th a t to-mor row he woul.l move for leave to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of the Malt I)aties in Ireland, d also for 4 Bill to regulate annuities. On the motion of Lord DOUGLAS, an account the grat.:icuts, pensions, and annuities, made and gable iu India, front the year 1793, to the Latest period, On the motion of Mr. WINDHAM the House went into a Conimittee upon the &II for the Repeal of the Additional Force A. , - - - - - In reply to A question by Mr. Yorke, the Right Moo. Secretaty stated, that the Bill had for L. ob je4 to repel the Al recited, to retain the force ' rais.:o. un.ler it, and to remit Al the fines itl , ich had been imposed upon parishes for deficienci ...s well 'where the money had been paid, as where it was mill 'in arrear. Mr. BANKS thought the clause which went to rescind the penalties, a very serious and alsemtrg one ' • and. much as he thought it exueffieof t - •- peal the Al, rather t h an consent to this II 1., -. Jr such an enaltment, he would withhold his .i sent altstaether "I he great diffirence oloseres'e in the operation of the tax in contiguoas I -z ; ills, could only at e from supineness on the part of the parish officers in the one, and meritorious anist,ty in tit , other ; they rught not, therefore, to be put noon the same forging. In no in stance. heretofore. had the broad p.inciple of remitting and refunding penalties been resorted to in such a case, and, in the present instance, he thought it would be most ungraciously corr.inoc.ced. What lesson would it hold hold cut :o Cements sooners and officers, under future digs of Parlia ment ?—" Doi as little as you can under the tax ; throw all the impediments in the way of its execu tion that you can, and some t:me or another you I will be exonerated; and get commendation from those who will repeal it"— f hear! bear !) It was a precedent which would teach the people, nutted of yielding °bedtime to the law, to calculate upon to repeal. and less to re gard the statute book, than the opinion of some k.idieg men, who akin oppose an are. an d whose success they waulii look to and anticipate.— 'to raise a great military few*, tie House would cert.inly adapt the mildest made : but it might eventually become necessary to resort to compulsory me.saros i.what. in such a cm, would be the con knots of the parish. whick bad ennformed to the are, and, by raising the IMO MOW& exhausted its means 1-.'

Toe main objec tion of the Hon.

It did not, however, become the House to pro vide company for these, nor to extend a burthen fu they than could be avoided. It was not the banging back of reluelance, but real inability, that occasioned parishes 'o he deficient in provi,!ing own; and the defaulter might be -onsideted equally zealous as the ptoveditor, and certainly more correct in rnndnet, as those who had found men, had not bet n very nice in their means. It was certainly ode, that the Hon.

Mr. Ellison thought, however, that tiae penalties ought not t 4 be ;endued. _ !VT 7v bsi -• Lord CASTLEREAGH mid, as the Maw seemed now to have adopted the proposition for the repeal of the net, it ss as in ...In for him to re new his objeaions to that cowrie of proceeding. The question now was as to the wisdom of return- Mg the fines, and he was firmly of upunioN under all the ciicutnstances of their becoming dice, that by so doing, the Legislature would sur render its authority and its msPeliability. He doubted whether the Committee was proceed.. ing formally in the discussion of such a question r • as the money must be considered to hare been paid into the exchequer, and to be now et the dis posal of the Exceptive Gown nthent, for We purposes of the country at large. He apprehended no injury would result, if Pat lianaent would appoint some time by which the defaulting parishes should be required to furnish the men, or be suhjeeted to the infl:aion of the fine. If they were re Illy to :are the money returned, compensation ought certainly to be made to those which had furnished men at so gteat an expenee, as well u: der this At as under the Army of Reserve. Th • Militia laws, and all military measures were liable to the same objec tions, with respell to penalties. as the Additipnal Force Bill ; but the existing Militia Lew, par ticularly, as under them a parish might become subjea to a fine of WI. per m a n, if it fur an extended period, to furnish met.
