When he c nsid:red that, he was of opi mon, that it was bet:er the confidence should be placed in the Crown by Patliainent, as it was a stronger party than the recruit. When a soldier enlisted under the Old system, 'his dependence was only on the Crown, in the first instance, but it was also in the 'confidence that it would be ratified by Parliament The greater part of the objeftioos of the Hon. Gentleman were merely repetitions, and some of them were new ; but they bad this dis advantage, that one half of them destroyed the ether. He stated it as a complaint, that the effea of the measure would he to fill the country with a population of veterans. Now this, to many per sons, would appear a great advantage, especially in country so circumstanced, that its great ohjeCt sets to have a population of men in arms. That a a, the ground-work of the Volunteer Associations. Tiny were armed corps, but by some were deemed defeetive. as they were not of that veteran description the Hon. Geut. complained of, as being the only persons from whom danger was to be apprehended I He further complained of this, as creating a per manent army instead of an annual one; but. though the disbanded tat might, from his foram *maim be entitled to reward. he was no longer a soldier, after he was disbanded. He objeEted that men, after contrafting military habits, and in full health and vigour. could not abandon them for civil em ployments ; but if that was the case, they would remain in the army. for this measure did not drive them from it, domes it Mated them to rewards. and to their discharge. if they thought proper to de mand it. As to the pledge of public faith to the recruit, that he should be retained for seven years, that happened not to he the hat, for his oath was— " L swear to serve His Majesty for seven years, if he should so los* have occasion for my services." It was an engagemeut which one of the parties re tained a right to dessolve; and were the objellien valid, what would become of the Mutiny Act, which was obliged to be submitted annually ? lu stead of these circum stance. being objectionable. he should think it a considerable advantage to have such men to recruit from, at the commencement ola war. or int any other emergency. If it was true that such men were dangerous amongst us. then we must be considered as a most unwarlike people, who have nothing in ourselves for defence, but must entirely depend upon a standing army. Mr. fIUSKISSON explained his objection to be, that after this Bill, men would be receiving the pay of soldiers, without being really such. Sir J. PUL PENEY thought it strange that a sneasnre of so mncb importance should be debated and pressed forward in so thin au attendance. Viscount CAS rLt REACH said, he had a num ber of obj Rion, to offer, which he wished to sub mit at considerable length, but h. thought it im proper to be under the necessity of doing so, when there were not natmbers preset sufficient l coma tote a House.

THE BRITISH PRESS. The High Court of Parliament will meet this morning at ten o'clock., when their Lordships will proceed to give judgment is the case of Vi.count Mstvitts. The Articles of lmpeachmen•, of which' there are ten. will be read over, and the question of guilty or not gsilty will be put se verally and respeitively upon each article to each Peer, be:;inning with the junior. As each ar-, tide is read to him, the Peer lays his right Nand ar:nn his left breast, and says. " guilty" upen my honour;' as the case may be. From the length of the articles, and the form used o?on the occasion, it is calculated, that to collect the judgment of each Peer will ctosume about twelve minutes and a half, being at the rue of ive Peers in an hour. It is, therefore, preintrseds Via; the judgment of aU Cie Peers attending can• rot be collected in the coarse of this day, and that the business will run into to-moron•.
