M i. t ,~ n fi 18 0 1 advantage of giving th the Battalion, .so formed, a Field Officer and Adjutant from' the .line. The mistake he wished to. coned. was this, he had been so completely misunderstood • as - -'to be represented as •wishing to introduce Regular Officers among the Volunteers, ,who would -have, the eontroul _over theM. He thoUght he had expressly stated the con. trary—he meant only to give to the Commanders of these,Corps the. assistance of an additional Field ' (Veer, not to appoint an Officer sup;rior to him from the Line., He was convinced. that from such • . an appointment as he. had - recommended, b6th the Commatiders-.and ilieCdrps would derive essential' service..' It waS a 'proposition that could not,, he was sure, be - repugnant to the feelings of the C0m... , manderr; themselvel, very . few of whom had been on actual service,; they, on the contrary .would, he was sure, when , they were- leading. their Men into halm, be glad to have' an opportunity of consulting .

He therefore must decidedly differ: from the Right Hon'. Gentle Mao - upon the effiCacv ()Ouch a measure. He considered the sense of Parliament to have been already explicitly and decidedly given on this stibjeeto or at least in, one • nearly- similar, as it would not suffer Officers from the, Regulars,to interfere with, the Militia, Since n o unqualified Officer from. the - Half.pay was petalitted tti holdoa lank higher , than that of a Captain in the Militia. ' Great attention was in this ease paid w Officers of. the Militia, and he thought Volnn. teens entitled to the same attention. If the Right Hon. GeOtleman's plan was adopted, Officers Would be . placed over the heads of Captains and of Co. - lonels - even of 'Volunteers,' which he feared would give very treat Offence. He was himself an old: Militia - Officer, antt . he certainly would not have considered 'that. a' very good 'system which plaCed any person Over him who had 'not 'risen to that , honour in the regular line ,of promotion ; besides he considered tile addition of tWoa or-.direr hundred Field Offieers on the Half-pay List at' the return of e.eilce,• not a trifling objettion to the measure, which .
