This remark at once explains the System aded upon in regard to that Corps, and affords an oppor tunity of.investigating! it. You think then, that if the strength. of the Corps is sufficient to afford. oaly the complement of Men necessary fbr our Ships of War, when 'put in Commission ; this i all that is requisite tot the•gtod of the Seivicti- , —that a att%- ' talion Ort , shore is not ,avanted'; that no previous formation, 'discipline,-.. or ..drilling of the Marine Stildier of course is necessary, and, provided he embarks - with a red coat on his back, it matters not whether 'he has ever had a musketmin hii hand, or knows the common . discipline anti:duty'Of a Sentry. This is the true spirit 'and meaning of your °bier:. vation; for C you would proportion the nutnlter of 44 thelNarine'Corps,eniployed to .that of the Sea " men in'the'Fleet." Now, Sir, a Scaman ca n onl y l earn duty on hoard of :hip. The case is entirely different with Tespezt to that Corps. Ii the Marine Recruit .bas not learnt his duty before embarkation, he never can acquire it at all, as he ought. Fit miy become expert at pulling and hauling,- btu can never become what 'he was intended for—a quell.disciplined dier. He cannot embark with any one idea of the duty of a . SOldi er , • muc h l ess o f the Particular duty of a Soldier serving in theli s leet. fie can have tic-. qUireti nothing of that neressrY,discrimination.he ought to entertain, between his . duty and that of. the Seaman, which 'every . - intelligent Naval Officer knows to be the great preservative of discipline in a Ship of War. Henan, in faCt, he no other than' a Seaman in a red coat, and must be' so far inferior to a good Seamin, as pradising only a stn;ill part of a Seaman's duty, Without knowing any thing of his own. This is what the corps trust fast tend to under, such a system of management—a system gra. dually leading. to the a nn ihil at io n . o f th e C onst i tu .' dun of the corps, anti. its real utility . ; fot, when it has been persevered in sorer time; ; it will 'trotter , little then whether ..he' only remaining distinction of the Se:unan dnd Soldier be abolished, and'a Woe . jacket and trowsers substituted for the Soldier's unifurtn. In former times,. Sir, the Nl:trine Coeps were looked Up' n by i h e B oar d oi Admiralty as a Most useful body of men for lantras-well`as sea service, and'they .+re still so by many eminent livinechaL rd&ers. 1n 1775. bestries, the detachments serving in the Elect, a large Battalion could be:- spared to a d with the Army on shore in America, and their conduct there .proved that, «. under proper tirre and dis ci pli n e (as well remarked. lately in tho House of Commnns..to be necessary), the Marines .wore ceilenc Soldiers." It was while tiding. or shore; as a Battalion at Bunker' s Hill,.that they acquired the laurel pow Worn by the Corp 9. 'During, the late War their services in the F,leet, at the Cape, Toulon, Bastia, Egypt, and on other occasions! on :hare, combined, were such as to obtain. from Hi b m a j est y the additional distinCtion of a ROy.il Corps. It appears then, that, gw;th, care and discipline," it can at on shore as.well as at , seh anti that a few soon Battalions of it as served ao `Bunker's would be naincOnsideiable acqukit ion at the present moment, co-operating with the Army, even though, by such aquisition, the strength cat' the Corps were nut in ex.,4 l lepportiwwith that of the Navy, The Colours of the corps ',trerhaps, Sir, you.did not know before they had Cnioers) bear the Motto ; {{Per mare et Terra m ," indicative of its constt. lotion and intention, of being api - ;licable to both Services--by Sea And Land, You would, however, alter that Constitution, and , arrange it to be " Per mare': alone, not considering that, by so doing, you unfit it for executing either service, as intended, and as it ough4. Every merit, and utility the Corps may ;have, depena's on, and originates IN, 'bat cbange.'of Service which is its nature. To effi.:.:l and keep up that change, A ,/arge Ifstablisbnicnt is necessary ;—nnt an EilibetrAati , im Is;stalthibmoit only—one that will admit a fbasige of Semice. The previous drill and discipline of the Marine SoldWr, , oos ,bare, is necessary to fit him for his duty as a Soldier on board ;—to instruct him in the im. portant duty of a Sentry at his post ; and, above all, to accustom him to consider it his,partieular duty to-support discipline on board. The service of the Marine Soldier, orr loam?, again, furnishes the best possible ground.workof a hardy Soldier for Shore Service. lie is, inured to change of climate,; sees considerable aduJl service ; is accustomed to fre9uent danger and alarm, and to perpetual preps. rations for coming to action by night and day; but, what is a still more important branch of his pradice, he, is actmrtomed to expect vittory, as the natural consequence of engaging an enemy i and his reward. This is the good fortune of his service, from its nature, on our favonritteilement. That good for me cannot fail to . beget in the Soldier habitml confidence in himself, and natural contempt of the enemy, qualities of all others the most essential ,to a Soldier in action, and most conducive to vieloty. These are circumstances in the Service in cues. tion, peculiarly favourable to forming hardy and good Soldiers, " with care" and attention on the part of those under whose controul they are. But this is the great point in which they are deficient—the proper and necessary establishment is only thought 01 at the moment it is wanted for service, and nut considered even then, as it ought.

The consequence, as well known to every Officer at that time'emplJyed in recruiting, was, that in the principal quartets .in En - gland anti Scotland the rineTarties had a decided advantage in raising men. Now the case is reversed. The conclusion iti obvious. It may perhaps be said.that .economy is the cause of this system. It has not „even the virtue of. eco nomy to b. Jas t, When 'the. 'ray and - expences of the Officers and of the Men takm - froin aiqual service and eniitloyed recntiting, are taken into.the account, and it is considered that instead of an. import ant employ, Ahty,arerengaged ht an incfficietir one, re.: gitlitted as it is , ,,we shall liod the system:has neither . economy .nor.policy to in its ,boall.
