ry was accepted as such, With - aitt- any expla4ation its to the mode of arming, iha - t4tinust be considered that such , a Carps was. to , be armed in the regular . way with muskets, and. that it cnold not be other.: Wise denominated " properly armed -anti equipped." Sir WM. YO.UNG thought:thalsome titstintlio'n Might to be Made with respea 'to*Exemptions, be. tween those Volunteers 'who so honourably:caMe . forward in the first instance; ithrelled merely by their zeal and their patriotism,, arid those who en• rolled themselves after-the passiOg *al the a& for making a general array. By thit MI, if -three. fourths of the first Class in" any Distrid came for. , Ivard, the Disirid was exonevited from the comPul &Dry Clauses'; these persons therefore only commut ed .ona. service for a:littler, and therefore, in his opinion, were less entitled - to exeMption from - itre Militia and: Army of Reserve. This description of Volunteeri included a great part of the Peasantry of the Counrry, who might he induced to enter into the Army, whilst the former ticscriptiun : Volun. teens: were wholly of, a different ciass. This sub. jeCt, he thought, deserved serit - iiis , ,comideralion, and he should..press it upon the House. after the Re. cess. ' .. • • , , , _ Mr. Rose - explained. ' The ATTORNAY. GENEPAL `observed,, that certain. forms were prescribed by 'tlie,AA of Par ment for the Returns of the Commander's of Volun. tee'. COrps, with a view . to exemption, and there was no question in this respeft as too - the )iberality o f Government, as it was neeessa,ry that those formal should be kept to,in order tha t an additional burthen , might not be thrown upon others. He though( that whatever Government prescribed as the mode of arming, those arms were sufficient to entitle a Commander to-return. his Corps :as properly armed . and equipped. With resped to Corps: not being ; considered as effective in a Return, because, they had only a certain proportion of arms,, he did not conceive it necessary to the alakiog of such Return' that they should have had arms in,their, hands all the twenty-four days. , . • Mr. Secretary Yoaxe read part of a Circular: Letter from the Secretary of State of the 29th of •August last, to prove that it sv,!s understood that_ a certain number of Pikes would be, issued to Vo. lunteer Corps. . Dr. L AIVRENCE contended, that Certi fi cates could not be given where there was only a certain ; proportion of arms ; for instanee, - one:fotirth de. Livered to a Corps, as a Certificate must be given,to . each individual, who could not,' iu that case, "be properly armed. r' Lord G. LEVESON COWER stated, that in the County of Stafford, three weeks ago, net a single firelock had sbien received from Government for the VolunteerPOrt , S. • • Mr. Secraao YORKE stated t 1 ;at orders had been given to provide arms for_the Volunteer Corps, but it was thought necessary LC' futniah them in the maritime counties hrst.. Mr. TIERNEY thought a distinEtion might to be taken Upon the 'soiled of arms. " -When Corps made their'offers,of service, they generallY stated what they would provide themselves, .and what they expe4.4tl Government to furnish. A Corps . that lie teas connefledwith, had stated 'that they Would prAdetheniselves with cloathing and other arikles, ant:ithat they expeeted Government to fur. digit artn3 and annut‘ition. By arms was certainly Incal , c•mu.kets, but if . Government tl.ought proper to scold at :Its a difforent description, for instance pikes, hr should conceive that stiCh a Corps would be properly at laid. As to . the case of only a certain proportion of arms being furnished to a Corps, he apprehended that, supposing only 25 muskets to be furnished to too men, each man might exercise with a mus k et , twent `y.l ) Of diftrent times in '2,olaYsr ? 6 ass -to' he returned' as effedive, and that for the purpos e of the return it was ofno consequence 'whe ther there were, z 5 inu , kets or roo. To illustrate this, he would ',oppose a-case of five learned Doc. tors having only one' t hriel amongst sheen, yet if they all perused the Brief, each would consider him. self entitltql to a fee. Or. LAWREIVCE contended, that there was nn,„ -analogy in +he 'else cited by the Hon.' Gentleman. As to iikts, the, could n'ot, he said, be considered as proper "'ill in the.casei mentioned. Ulion that part - of the:Bill Which related to tile, ?lumber of , d iys of 'at I enda nce, '• Mr. ROSE riberved, that there were some Vn lunteers' who were paid for eighty-five days, and others only for twentyjour ; he thought it, there. fore, not just that • the 'former should only be re. quire& to attend •twenty.four slays' for the . purpose c,f..oein g exempted. • He wished also that something should be done to enforce 'thseipline ; he had heard • 'of some. irregtilarities committed, and he thought they ought to be checked. • . Mr. Secretary YORKE said; that as the law now stood, Volunteers were equally exempted in corn. plying with the Al by attending twenty.four days. As to enforcing di.tcipline, His Majesty had the power of making regulations for that purpoie. end it was perhaps unnecessary t 6 pass another Adt upon the 'subje4l, as' it was highly desirable that too many regulations. might be made. There was a great improvement in the present system over that at last Var, as the Volunteers were now liable to be called • out to meet the Enemy,"which they then were not. •Mr. ROSE, again contended, that these Voluo, teers, who were paid for eighty-five days, ought not to be allowed an Extinption for attending twenty. four: He was , well aware, he said, that'llis Ma. testy had the power of making regulations with -o:_ixtt to the disciplineof the Volunteer Corps, but tlis Majesty had not the power of imposing tines . .#* Q2;:icregutarity olcoridut% Mr. Secretary .YORKE said, that Volunteers would.only be paid for the number of slap they a te. tually attended; and as-to irregularity, any person rniscunclueling himself might he expelled with dis grace from the : Corps •to which he belonged, in which case he'Would 'be entitled to no EitemptiOn. Mr. GILES said, •'that the Bill now before the Committee Went. to-adterthe number of effeilive men, At preseri4l•every man who appeared, pro. perly armed and accoutred, five days, was entitled to 'exeinption,from the Militia;. and if, he appeared tins, properly'arMed and accoutred, was - iiiiiils;cl - ticerriptiort;frorti the Army of Reserve. Theobjea of this Bill was to make an alte. rat.inn it+ . that which made the Volunteers elfedive 'nen, , . . '.ind if this..wav - dOncirliliOut the consent of the Vuluntee.r, it was a (nudist' good faith with such ,a man. .11 this Bill p f loscd in the form in which it stood now, the condition of the Volunteer 'Wag to altered by it : he .hid nat v„, , „„, was promised to lun When he entered, and therefore sure was a hteach of good faith towards- him, that by. Parliament ; good faith ought to be stria!) , olisryett by every body, but more ,by Parliament. tt , was, ekiretnely iMportint to Ob. 'serve, that in this Volunteer service there was at present no. sort of discipline In this great except the terms on which they dy a d beet, accepted. M'any of them had -discipliop, , withln themselves, and' which they obseryed fob: , their own regulation and internaharrangement ; . bat if Parliament inter fered to impose on _them .some discipline to which they did not•agree at the time their services were accepted, it _would .do That_ which it had no tight to .do, because it was altering the condition on which the Volunteers - entered, and they'were en. titled to insist. on the terms on which_ they en. tered; and heti he could itot help saying, that part of the speech ! of the Right lion. Gentleman onder the.Pallery (Mr. R9sej appeared to him to have a mischieVous tendency, because it went to favour Ilf.i f t breach of faith., It was impossible, without breaking the condition on which the Volunteer en tered, to alter any , of it, or tosuhjea him to any thing else without breach of faith. It - was Aid to be desieable 'to put • the Volunteers ''With the Regiments 'of the Line. That' warliadeed: • the case of those who might be' called out under the Deterice Adts butiit was expressly otherwise :with regard to the VOttit .. tteta:; :for 'Parliament had ek prcssly declared illa•C'the: Volunteers should not be called upon to join the Regimentai eif the Line, and to do otherwisep4w would be to Violate the faith which was tli l ekilasis of the Volunteer Service ; and it it was . pentiSsed: to make that alteration, the engagement :betwee' Goverment 'and the Volunteers was. dissolved ; and if measures of this kind were to he insisted upon, he was afraid the 'Country would be deprived of a great,deg of Ser. ! vice it might otherwise. have.' The c Volunteers' were an immense body of men, and they . Were, of course, 'very attentive to What paseedcoecerning public affairs, and particularly respelling them selves ; and care should be taken to' bring no. thing .fOrward that was ineonsistenl with the faith Parliament had pledged , itself to keep to., wards them. He, was, however, confident, that Ministers would not countenance, nor would Par-, liareent pass, any measure-that wits contrary to good faith, in any shape or oft arty condition. There had been a great deal .saitt some time ago on the subjeet of a breach of - faith with respect. to Pro. • peity, and he wished the flo4se to be asattentiVC,to the question du breach of faith respeaitig Liberty. .• Mr: Secretary YORKE said, he could not see the Clause now in discussion in, the light, in WhiCh the Learned Gentleman viewed it he did not see how• it could be considered as a breach of faith, This was a remedial Bill, to exempt Volnoteet Corps from certain hardships to which they were at pre.. sent exposed under the atria letter of . tlie Li , s.• It was not intended by it to d,) any thing u:,l.lvoursble to the Volunteers._ 1 pia Clause was pr)sreftive it was not intended to, take pface until. after the 1 , 1 day of May next. But with regard to.the.exemp.• Licosa Volunteers, it was t‘i take plate Immediate. ly.• The other part would in truth be as if, Parlia. meet never made any alteration ie the Law re. epe(ting these Volunteers,: and the Learned. Gentl eman instated unit .that l'arliament.had no right to, make any alteration in the Law in this respea•; 'that he would never admit. The fall was, sthat it would be in the power of thoie Volunteers to dissolve, who should not like this new regulation ; they might quit the service if they did not approve of it, .and did not choose to continue : the only consequence would then be, that they would have nu exemption, bet would be subjc& to be ballotted'for the Militia, or the Army of Reserve, and the deficiency which Might thus be eteatedin the Corps must.be filled up out of the Classes specifiectin the Defence Mt : but the alteration proposed, he apprehended ,would not have the desired {Wed,' for the number of clays of at , Aindance being limited to five, was applicable to a time of Peace, whereas the, measure must now be adapted to a time of War. Sir W. YOUNG considered "the Volunteers as divided into two Classes. Those which Ca= on: der theßegulationt. of the did of the Iting, , and . those; under , the Act,a the 4.3 d, of the King. The first he considered as Volunteers superior, in cosi aeration of their offers, to the second ; for the 'first came forward without any view, eneaation, hope, Of idea of any exemption whatever. The second, although he did not mean to dispute their spirit, zeal, or patriotism, yet they came forward Volun. .seers under the idea ,of a commutation of duty-recta be exempt from other Military duties that would have heenimposed upon .theta' by Law, the Army of Reserve, .and Defence Mt ;, he there. fore submitted the proprietrof making somedistinc, *lion between. these two Classes of Volunteers. . The CH,INCELLOR of At EXCHEQUER thought the Hon. Baronet alluded particularly so thi Volunteers of the ,County of Buckingham, who had aded much to their credit, in coming. forward as they did without claiming any exemption ; lot he could not allow of any distinctionbetween the : Vo. lunteers of this County, either as to tlmac, who entered previous to the War. Or ..subsequent to, the War. Distindtions between men anuated• by such noble motives, were , invidious. :It should not be insinuated, that all the Valmateers did not :enter from one motive- r rthei glorious otte of defending ;their Country, and te preserve its Honour. He did therefore beg leave to vindicate t he Volunteers who entered since this War, as wall As those who were in that charader beloteit. Their having:become Volunteers was purely voluntary ; theyhed' nn con• caption of what they arc now entitled to by' thelt6l of Parliament it was impossible 0/Y141101441 for the great bulk of them had, entered -before that Clause in the. MI had been to touch as mentioned; or even hinted at. It_ was .no motive of ecnnnow tation of duty or exemption that induced: the. lunteers to come forward I. it .was a spontene. aus burst of • fenuine zeal in Abel' , Commy'lvcause, unmixed with any thing selfish, uncontaminated with""Y thing impure.; it was a .glo'wing spirit of patriotism, that 'made them, rush forrild in the service of their Cootettye This - was nothing more than w e s due to themletim him as a Member of r'idttttn,strattoat, an e uteess he was mach deceived, week' he paid to them by that Collette , which they were enrolled to scree. Havingeseid this smalland welledeserved tribute .to the Volunteev,.. he could not help saying he concurred entirely in the semi_ menu exercised by the Learned Gentleman (Mr. Las) on the other side of'. the House. He was einiatlent that no man in the House, or in the Coon. try. e .would be, less dieppsed to. countenance a breaCh of good faith in any case than his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. to . RICE). The truth was, that in this case he did not depart from•gonti faith, for although.five days were sufficient - to entitle Volunteers to .exemp. tioofrom the Militia, and twenty-four from the Army of Reserve, yet flier %Vas, the tegulation in tinfeof Peke, and he proposed that the attendance shotild be greater now in time of War. . It was not proppsed,,,however, that the alteration should begin to operate until the mMith of May next ; and even Min tvi'VUlunte'er would beitOund - by -it; -4tirethen evertVolonted would 'have the •option whet* he would continue as a Volunteer or note and it was for the 1-Ibuse to consider, whether it was 'worth while to make this proposition for the sake of chatting the number of days of attendance from-five Jo- twenty-four dep. He. owned he thought, that the improvement that this was likely to introduce into `discipline would be Worth' the experiment, rind • that the more especially When-he reflenest that Vo. lunteers now by their , own consent 1110:,4 greater 'number of days than were here propesed. But whet he rose chiefly fur was, to claim on behalf of all 'the Voliinteeis of this CoUntrY'eV'ery 'credit that was duel.to their. zeal, patrintiam, and independeect, and that there was no invidious distinction, eo be made between them. thellothe would determine! Whettier iliii'dirrereliee'of time was to he atinpied. Mr. ROSE said, that, the Learned' Gentleinen . ,:oppessite eio him (Nit, Grits) referred in so particu lar manner to what he said, that he was under the necessity of saying a few words in his own yin. diratititt. The Learned Gentleman had imputed to him a mischievous slierch; now, paid Mr.. Runt,, whether. „ speca the speech .of the teamed: Gentleman was inost 'likely to produce Mischief, I leave to the-Committee to determine; and I heist' may leave ,that enatter'safely there.. He seemed, to insinuate that my s l iee'ch was . gartist the VOlune teems. There is not' mane man in this oc - twisty more ,a !friend from his heert _eta the Volunteers .of it than myself. There is no spot near or in the • nrightanurhoo,i of" my house in which there 'dwells one man who is not a Volunteer. Two Corps its .my etighbourlerod are ceinmanded : by relations of my 'own, reel a third Cores • raiseal by myself: 7 -, Ilter . el'ore leave it, on these fans, to the Come enietit' tri ij'iefge 'Whether I am against the Volute.- What,Leneant was to have, them ,as perfeet in their discipline, so as eo render them as efficient as possible, not, through the • medietri of a t4iteljeof e good faith, for that am as much an enemy to as- the Leatned Gentleman ; and upon thae'liilijec.l the Right Hon. Gentleman has - newest' every sha low of diffictilty, -by saying, if the alteration should make place, such Volun whe disapprove of it shall be at liberty to w draw. Having quoted' the provision dfthe Sta of the last Session of Perlisament upon this .tlie Right Hon.' ,Gentleman concluded with that both as it Member of Parliament, and as a Atigiitrate and Country bentlerOin, lend in every situation, he had been..a friend and zealous supporter of the Velunteet'system, and therefore he i j o uli not help feeling himself hurt, by haying'im. Muted to him a mischievous speech. M r . GILES. disclaimed -all idea of imputing to the Right, lion. Gentleman any intention of crea. ting mischief by his speech, but lie did think that it would have that terlt.ncY.but for the explana tion which followed. - He was glad he had started this conversation, because it had produced a decla. ration that would 'do away any uneasiness which the Volunteers might , have felt on the subjeet of alteration in the terms of their continuance •as a body, but now it was openly declaied that, no. al teration could ever take place in the terms on which they . entered, without affording them the Option to withdraw if they disapproved of such alterations, losing, of course, by so doing, all the exemptions they arc now entitled to. Such a, de'. clar'ation was, necessary to he nidde, for it set at rest much uneasiness that Might havefolloweir. Tim ATTORNEY GENERAL observed, that so much had been said an the matter • of excuse. lion of Volenteers, it. was needless, for him to add any thing, especially as npun that subject there was no difference of opinion. Nove, as that was the leading and the only part of this Bill that was plisaing in point .of time,. lie should submit to his Right Hon. Friend, whether the remaining pert of the 'Bill.inight not as well be deferred untihafter the Recess, tte allow Gentlemen time tolurn : it in their Minds, and to prepare for its future discussion, for it was not proposed that that part .of the. Bill should begin to operate until the intinth of May next. • If Any thing that amounted to- a. iareeeh of good faith could 'possibly be proposed, , which he was assured there could not, by any .Member of Administration; he was sure the. House would never, assent to it, but perhaps there was,no use in dwel-' ling on this measure further now, if his Right Hon. Friend would '`atlopt his suggestion, in postponing the latter part of the Bill. Sir W. Yotitct: explained. The CHANCELLOR 5 . f the EXCHEQUER in reply to Sir 'W. Youeo, begged leave most completelyto differ from the Right Hon. Baronet, as lie 'svai thoroughly convinced that the Volunteers instead of taking any advantage of their situetion, were upon'all occasions aiimated by the puteetand noblest motives of Loyalty, Patriotism, and Public Spirit ; they were a hotly of nevi whose valour and disinterestedneee conferred an honour on thernselves and shed a lustre on their Ceuntry :—.-to see Men of Rank, Independence, and titivated Chataners enrolling themselves its the Ranks of tbeii Couetry, `veal in his opinion a circumstance which conferred the greatest Honour on any. ageor Netiou. Mr. P EWA, in , a sliott lipeccii, but 'of great pleasantry, observed that so far troth a, man's being rendered ineligible , by being ti Voiunteec from serve jog eithetein the Mtlttia or the Licit,' that it .was generally considered that the Voltniteer Coto were a, sOrt aN'orsery for supplying. tlin Regiments of the Line, for our of a Corps t, ;; 7 :..tt ht had tl , e floor to command more than three hundittl nun'had left it:and entered the stacding Army and he eon!. fessed he found himself not a little mollified to be thus inade a sort of plepratoty Sehool-master.---[A geytral itimgk.)
