Mr Wxr•rmaEAD said, he was aware of that, but having been desired to present. the Petition,. laF thought it his duty to mention it. TRINIDAD. Mr. CANNING gave notice, that on Thursday the 13th of •May, he should being forward a Motion respeaing the Cultivation of the Lands of the Island of Trinidad by Negro Slaves., ' MILITIA. The SECRETARY at WAR said, he rose in pursuance of the notice he had given some days ago, to move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend and consolidate the Militia 'Lauri, and:to augment the Number of the Militi.i. He did not wish to take up much of the time of the House, but he thought it 'ne cessa'ry to state some of the grounds of the proptised measure, in order to do away amisconeeption of it Which had arisen. His Majesty's - Ministers had thought it necessary, at the. conclusion of the De finitive Treaty, to pay - every attention to the defe.n, si systen4 .of the country. He entirely agreed with what had been observed on a - late occasion, that Peace .was to be, preserved .by a mixt u re .of con. eilL!tiOn aiti firmness, without being prone to giye an insult, on tamely, irelinei ttt submit to an injury. No principle could be_vore than this, but the benefit of it could only rte derived. froM !placing the country in a propsr..posturir. of defence. This was never more necessary than, at the present mo ment, when our npare.u - and most formidable neigh bour had received a .7 1 . - - isidelable accession of power, and when the princ„ of her Government was es , 2,. , • oentialty n-was certainly, therefore, ne cessary to turn our attention to the subjeet, and to be perfthly sure, that we took_ every precaution . of defence; for whatever we might think of the form of that - Government, it was certain that they had great Warriors amot, - ,-,st them, who 1, were capable of contemplating the resoUrcea and military situation- of:this Country , -, with a Sol. dier's eye. With these views it was the intention of. His Majesty's confidential Servants, in. the first place to put the Navy in a good estate ; the esta blishment would' not only be conduCted with the strictest .economy, but. kept, up in the very best manner ; and whatever might be the proportion of Officers and men voted for that service, they would he. kept in such a ' state as to be always ready for defence. As far as related to this service, His Majesty had the benefit of the advice of the ablest and most skilful Sea-Officers that this Coun try ever produced. ' He wals' perfeCily sure.. there was the same dispositionin the Servants of Govern ment!to turn their attention to the Ordnance, and that the , bestsare would be taken of the defence of the Sea. Ports and other. points where defence was requisite. With resped to the-Army, he was per suaded it would be seen.,with.fthe greatest satisfac tion, the manner in which l the Army had concluded 'the late War, and ; tharovith:respeCt to skilful Offi cers, and in point ofktiscil.4ine and numbers,' the' . Army stood higher now than at any former period. " —He was , persuided that every thing. that could be done in. that ! branch of : the service was to be expected from the galtant and illustrious • Plinee ,who. was now at the head of that depArtineor; It always appeared to him, however, that it was possible to come to any definitive arrangement with re 513.44 to the- Artily; oh a 'Peace EstablisSment, till tht nUmber and orginiiation of the Militia concluded upon ; when they had seuled th'e nUmr)er and organization of the Militia', the Constitutiorai Force of the Country, it would not be difficult to determine upon the Peace . EStablishtnent of the Army. This" Country , Was assailable in many points, and it was impossible to maintain a regular Army equivalent to the defence of those points 4 putting all Constitutional grounds out of the ques tion, without an ,enormous expence. It was. there fore thought expedient, upon Constitutional groundi, and those of eco:mmy, to propose an incrrase in the force of s tbe Militia. Upon this general principle he was authorised. by His Majesty's Government to bring such a proposition beliire -the House early as possible. 'The. points to which he Wished to 'call the attention of the House, Were the Fortin tioo of ,the Militia Laws, and- the augnientation of rh'e number ,of the Militia. With respea to the. former, he had little new to offer 4 he wished to rake-as . his - basis, the Ad of the - Twenty sixth of his present Majesty, and as * since that period, -not less . than-twelve Ads , had been passed;, relative to the Militia of England; and five . for. SColland, it was his intention to propose the conso ligation of these laws, with such amendments a - s should appear necessary. With respell to the aug mentation of the Militia, it appeared to him, .that we never had sufficient in point of number. In the American War, it was found necessary to augment. the Militia, then consisting of 32,000 men, by an additional to,oot:L During ,the present War, every Gentleman would recoiled, that, in the year 17944 it was found necessary to. augment the Militia in the same way ; afterWardS, when the "danger of the Country, increased, the Militia was .again. very- .‘ considerably augmented,: the whole amounting tea 0,000 men. Every Gentleman. must see that tO . have • recourse,..on the emergency of the rpoment; • - ‘7,. to the, measure of increasing the Militia, milst fere very much ivith the regular Service, whilst that increase could nOt l at such a morrient o be ef feted without a very considerable expense, and • the ultimate' effect of . the measure would be very much weakened. It appeared to him, thereturei that•the Defence of the,Couritry ought to be taken up on a . sYstern of Peace; leaving as little as possibl to the emergency of the moment. He thought, that from the extent atilt Island of Great Britain, and the number of Points which reviled to be defended, making every allowance for the aid and co-opera, lion of the Navy, this.. powerful Ittlund ought to be able to put under arms, at the commencement of A Var,,_ for the purpose of defence, men: He thought also,- that we ought to be able, at' such A moment, to lay our hands on 70,000 Militia. Int the • Northern part of the Island, it was his inten:. don. to rpropoe there should be a Militia of front 10,000: to 12,000 men. It would be observed, that 6cotland had, till of late years, prqtluced no though she Wad sent for.th many hardy and excellent Soldiers. it became a question, whether it would be most advisable to enrol the whole of the 60,00 d men, of which it was proposed the Militia should consist in England, at once, Or to enrol 'only a parti and to enable His Majesty to, enrol the remainder in the hour of danger. , The greatest advantagei would result 'to the Country.from, thus having 70,000 men, - with arms in their : hands, 'ready in the moment of. danger ; and the expence would be comparatively small ; 'as from the best calcula:: tion he could make, it Would not amount to more than 230,0001. for the Militia of England; induct:. log the whole expence: of Officers and Men. This expence would, however, be leisened, if 4.0,006 then were raised in England and gOOO in Scotland, 'and His Majesty was empowered to raise, by Pro,. clamation, the remaining .io,octa in England, and 3000 in Scotland, making a communication of thi circumstance to, Parliament ; by these means the' Militia would be much better filled up than it cnuld - possibly be by raising a great number on the emery gency. of the 'moment. His Majesty's Ministers being fully convinced of its propriety, had,deter:. mined to prop* the measure in question. With resped to the Amendments he iritended to propose in the existing regulations, they would ernbrace the following objets : the powers of Lieutenantsthe , specified quota—=the mode of intollment—subt it ates. —the organi7,ation of the Regimentstlic forma tion of the. Regimental Stair---the training; exercis mg, and the embodying of tfrern,He should state the general outline. With resped to the powers of the Lieutenants, they would remain the saute:'--- With respett to the specified quota ; he proposed that one third si:rould be added to the number of those to be furnished by each County.. He had endeavoured to procure accurate information hoar the returns dude by the different Counties Of the re.: dative proportion which ought to be -furnished by each; btit he had found those re ttirns so inaccurate, as to be wholly useess for the purpose fin- which he : wanted them: He should therefore propose, that, the 4.0,000 nen should be raised according to the old proportion, for a limited time. The Privy Council would ; then' be able to obtain - corted and accurate 'twils ; and might upon those data - ascer tain' a. quota which might remain for ten years at the end of that .periody a new apportionment to take place: The House:, would. ,see` there Was nothing new in -this; as -it was only enforcing the original - plan: With respectto the mode of enrolment; he in.; tended:to propose some material alterations : The first was, that no plan should be enrolled without being examined by a Surgeon ;- it well. known that men were frequently enrolled, who were adu . ally tfnfit far service: there would . rbe therefore a great saving, if previous to enrollment, they were ex-airrined' by the Assistant Surgeon of the ,Regi ment, or if lie .was not' near the spot, by ,some other Surgeon of CotriPetent skill, The next re. gelation he 'intended to propose was, that the I k
