"tined the worse 'they would iseCome. The re he considered, had. ,been brought to a 1 'great degree of perfeition, although they mirsobe de. ticiena in that experience which was only to be ac 'quired in Regular Service. With resped to the Volunteers,- he knew there vete persons lying in .a air o) misreoresept.his worifsooii . that subjedt— hat it was not against the Volunteers that he oh. ?ded, but against' the Volunteer System t 376,000 Voluorecas taken indiscriminately,. os even taken by selection, must nec e s sarily be an 0o:iota force. When it was said that the - Voltmeters ltiitfamong: Oran a great deal .of the zeal and spirit of the Country, he would allow, that the irst of these whO enrolled theMselves ..undoubtedly had, but' many of those who latterly came forward', did air on account 'Of the' excioptions to' which they Were entitled ; they poured in when they found a door left open for them in that .respeet. It was' not however the Volunteers+ who were deficient, b u t the Ministers; they could Ira entirely spoil the . , Volunteer , system, but tliefhad don e every thin g to tender it inefficient.. There was ano th er sulijqt which might appear trifling, that was the Carathing of the Volunteer*. According to 'the Rignlationt,' issued, all the Volunteer Corps were to be clothed in Red. This marked their destination ';• they were formed into Regiments, and then into Brigades regular way, without any reference to tlitalitierence of their situations, habits of life, health or Adiv Some of the Volunteers were advanced in years, others' were itiottive art of ,h abits of life. not fit., ting them for military exercises ; Others . had (anti lies, or could not leave their busineas without ruin, whilst those silio were capable of aaive litary exertions were, by the present system, tied and chaiord to 'those who were incapable. It they were not made toreful Troops to at in the Line, they were rendered in a great measure ineffiCient ; if a General wanted to seize an eminence, and had Troops that he could depend upon, he might calcu. late upon It to a certainty ; but if he had not, the service might be materially injured. The Voluti. icor Corps, in his opinion, ought to be formed'on far different principles; they might be made p body of armed light troops,' to annoy .and harre - se the Enemy in every direttioo; in the-same way as Ge. neral Burgoyne was harrassed in America, by a simi lar description' of troops, who marched to the scene of action with two or three days priavisions, and (might till they Were succeeded by others • thus servant it up hot and hot, ' until they_ keeled every thing. After speaking of animated in. at he most- go- to inanimate ones, resm`i..' ing which Minister. bad one day ridiculed the idea of fortifying London, 'the next adopted it, and the , afterwards abandoned it. Much however might he dove in this mode of defence--Y armuuth Reach, for instance, afforded a great facility to an Enemy to land ; this he thought would be best de. fended not. by Redoubts but by the famous Martello Towers. It was historically well known to ino.t Gentlemen Present.' that a 7+ gun Ship, ctottnanded by a vrry gallant Officer, had endeavoured to barter down one of these Towers, .but after hay tug lost 8o or too men, 'Was obliged to run- only one goo heing all this time planted in tire Tower:a-a It was an extravagant estimate that one of these "Tows:rs wools coo ricrool.; but taking - it at this, 30 of theta would co , rid 30i0001. which was no great expenee, considering the present ex. penditure of OS State. There was another pits of our f Tree to which he wished tnedvert, which wail the Sea Fencibles. Of these he ,thought that they shotild'nor be used unless where 01084 :access tor. The id 4of these men pushing off French force attempting to land, with their pikes, appeared to him truly ridiculous; it was lilt , Fribhlesay. ing, sr Stand off; stand . off,' Gentlemen;" they • might as well attempt 'to do it with bodkins Or needles. Recurring howeier to fortifications, - it *tented to be the opinion of Ministers that it' Was useless to do any thing unless they could do every thing; that-it was no use stopping' the mice out of one hole in the pantry, unleor they could stop Al. it might be true that if one link of a chain was broken, the whole' was of no use ; hut irwas nOt so with a Chain of Nits . . It utii;hr he said that Wow weak part was known it Would be' •attacked; but the answer to this was, that it might not be known,' and if the Enemy attacked a StriMger part and was repulsed, he could not hien(' iniklblev. It could not therefore be amiss' to strengthen' one 'part of our Coast, although' another might ire made weaker.' lie admitted that if it was attempted'ao strengthen every part 'there would 'be strength no' where, hut' this was no argument to peove that any part of the Country ought' to he left in a 'defenceless state. There appeared,'however; a sort 'of niggardly pat siniony on thetart of 'Ministers; in getting as much as they 'could from the Pockets of Irtdiri duals wititottt Coining 'to Parliament. It was aisar.: simony like that of a perlain giving a ii4entild' Dinner, and paying 'a .Guinea a Qtrari'`'fraf green pease, and' then grudging `: . the exponce of salt, or of a clean table-cloth. `:Much had been said - . about machinery bett . his great ohjedion .was, that ,the machinery which- Ministers had put in motico, appeared too complicated to test • i : it put him in mind of lingarth's story of a man who had invented a very eornplieated machine, the ohidt of which wars to draw a cock, which a Wderer with a common corkscrew would draw whilst the other's machine Was putting in motion. A very cc.omintliousire of this machinery, was the Meetings ol Depuq.Lieureo nants ;,the Clerks to these•Meetinv wire Gentletnio of the County, who were not vatdfortheir atte r & slue, whose time.allotted to the business was three minutes a' week, and with whom a keret remained a week before an answee was returned, How business dads kind war carried on m;ght beillustrased by a circumstance which happened in Norfolk. The signals in that County ought to have been est blish. eat with the 'utmost celerity, but not three weeks before the Meeting of Parliament these.sigtials-ki not been completed. This arose from all that ma. chinery to which he had alluded ; the Lieutenant of Division refused to set 'shout thorn until he was assured that he should be repaid the eapence, the Deputy Lientenants refused to he answerable for it until they had consulted the CoUnry, they however. at length agreed to become responsible for epee e r to the meantitric, however, the &imitate) , refused to send down persons to take charge of the signals until proper signal posts were meted, and dills the sigpis which ought to have been ego. ' blished immediately remained unerdleil during a peg rind Of eightmunths. Nu inslividnal was to blame in . this, instance, it all artniti . front the system which hail been established - by Ministers. These Eiti. mates gave no assistance to the form ition of opinion on the subjeft, .hut his great cibjetlion to the sys tern'adcrpted by Ministers Was; that it .cut off the means of raising Troops. They: surely could not think the Volunteer Corps a . permanent source, and yet Ministers :talked of an adjournment without making any provision upon the subjea of the Vo;': Jiinteer Force. That system' must 'be soon. worn. out s untess some efficient' measure was resorted eti::-• they' were robbing every description of force : the Militia robbed the Army, and the Volunteers. rub. bed the Militia; in sliort, it was a general system of robbery. if any exertion was to be Made there Must be a disposable Army, but mere safety seem. ed to be our. utmost horizon. With all the ma. chinery of Ministers, only 5,000, or according to the +Linnutable Secretary at. War, 7,000 men, had been added to - the regular force,' with all the pounds of beef and chicken that bid been 'stewed down, fi ve quarts of ordinary soup had been produced. 'Besides the evil ''of large bounties was enormous; those who had receiVed them Could never be brou'llt"to look down upon moderate bounties with any degree of complacency. If an additional. force consisting of Volunteers" was wanted, let there be no self.eletted Committees to 'impose fines, but let them be Volunteers OrtlY' at their first entrance, Volunteers in the same manner as, the whole Army were Volunteeri. The question now was, whether we were to have an Army or not ; and when in the course., of nine- months only 5,00 men. had been added to the Army t boi could we go en without some such means as . ,he hail suggested ?--He was as little a friend' to compulsory measures . as any man, but he . would,not Court' pcpularity, by , decrying them as unconstitutional.. - If .sub.- stiturion ways , aboliihed and. Men enlisted for a .term of, years instead of for life, - arid seumpulsory measures were resorted to, then the army might he, recruited, but otherwise he saw no means by 'which our Army could_ he effettively increased. Mr. SecreNry I'OhKE said lie should not fol. low the Right Hon. Gent , i n all his arguments, but only notice some, parts of them Which', seemed to xequire animadversion. It did not require tile ability and ingenuity of tlieltieit Hon. Gentleman to bring. forward such observations as many .of those which. hr had made. Many of the measures to which that Right Hon. Gentleman had adverted had been brought forward to meet the exigencies of „ .cr i r ; e at p er i o d, and did not deserve the criticisms which had been passed,upon them by the llight lion. Gent. With respect to the quotations oldie Rt. Hon. Gentleman, he should not observe upon wh at mi n i. stets said, but what they did the House and .Conn. try would judge. -Better Speeches might be made then those of bliniitters'; but no criminality could be, attached to their Measures. There might' be gond Opposition Speeches, but' there were better Nlinisterial Votes. A' great . part Of the Speech of the Right Hon, Gentleman, appeared to be &reeled against the eit.blished System of the Country ; he would not go into details ob . this subieet ; but tin. , der the present circurOsanees of this Country and of Europe, it might 'be necessary to , alter the whole System. It was rather hard, however, that mea. sures should be so-much arraigned, which had been adttpted in par. mince of a system icing pursued, and Which hadvsevr t been °Wetted to by Partiament.— 'the Right Eitin.'Gentleman had spoken of the 'Treaty , ut Ainient, and the period subsequent to it, and not lOr the' first time, but at no culler time 'was the Country. 01,1 - 4(1 in so etfcelual a state of defence during a period of peace as in that •uhsaquent tea the Treaty vi Amiens. - 'No Tromps were di,bantled during that period, but thosewho turd been enlisted for limited service, or about whosi: rime of service some doubt existed. With respea to 'the regular force; it had been more:than doubled since the pro. rogation of Parliament ; pit Was then 60;oco and it was now upwalritirYnf 't to,ooo. 'lt was said that the Army of 'Reserve were not. regular Troops . , bathe truste&ar least that the first.and second hat. rations, which had been added'', to the regular Troops fr,,rn the Army of Reserve s 'were' as good as any Soldiers that could 'be added' lit an' equally short .space 'of time: As to the Battalions of -Reserve, they: were expressly cont.' loosed of those whowere less Olive, thwthe'rest, but notwithstanding which they were equal to Garrison duties,' and . in , proportion as they were employed in that, the rest of ilielorce was more disposable—With respdt to the Volunteers, he found that they sentiunted to 341,678 rank and files The Field Offietesi Captains, and Subalterns amount. circa- -1.:7,000, this would account 'for the delays which "took place , in the names of . tluisel Officio: ap. peering in the: Gazette: The Right Hon. Gentle. man 'had 'saiii, , that the. Volunteers: , were 'brought forward in a way which rendered client Inefficient, as they were deprieed of all thell•mAive-etiergies. He' could not underatand what the Right Hon: Gentleman meant, •unlees it was that they should not be taught any of those manciouv res. Which could alone render them effeflive.; The Volunteers most be made use of by the General -Offiter under whe , s'e'erittneand 'they were placed, in . whitever way appeired hints Moit:adVisible. ' Beeklei in this Country there. were' not many opportunities of two armies ,beingdraWn up In regular line, sod- ss trite as making thetnetny believe that there was si greater efeetive torce'than' really calmed, he supposed die Volunteer., 'night 'l* Of. smite service. Added to this, it in.alit very" fairly be supposedlitat a great number of these Volbattert would be forward to assist the Regiments of the Line, by .I.heievolun. tary zeal, and he Is as confident that'on the day of af.ti v service, many . would. 'volunteer for 'such a o'e r ; vice. Ali Malt-Olen lied been made to the cloatlfi l ig, o r the Volunteers, but zed was the nationalcolour, and by having the 'ollie . '‘colour .for all the Troops, great confusion would be .prevented, whilst the Voionteers having the same Cloathlng with the Troops of the. Line, the . Enemy could' riot distitu visit by their cloaths the description of Troops they had in content! with. With resrett to the Vo. lonfeee system in general, objeOlor's 1 W been Riad* to it,' . he 'scarcely knew why .:. the Aels.relati ng to the. Volunteers had .beeti brought forwardly wfi n i. atm, and were passed without any material ahem _ . . tine. If there were objettion) to them, these "Os ought to have been resisted so . linafte . ; it the), % :re now .ereoneous, it was not tornuchelte fault of Go. verntnent, as the fault of those who did not oh_ jai . eo them in time. It was not to he said to the Volunteers at the time they came for. ward in the. Defence of their Country, 'that they were tole cam — Pilled to -he placed - in such and such . particular classei ; on the . contrary, it was found necessary and expedient to .auTer them to he cm. , bodied Corp accortlios , to, „ the ;ay stens now asset trpond (-With reaped to the exemptions, .there wail `an express clause that those. who were compelled 14o , cotil'e forward .should nut .he exempt. . It had been said, that a- - diteeting • mind watt w.antieg fie did not pretend to have that dire ling mind, hut those in•Adininistration would do their duty, and they would then be supported by that House, their Sovereigo,:and the Country. As to the gees. r• lion relating to Fortifications, , he did not wish to go into it at length; it must be attended with an enormous expence, and he would rather - that there ' should be no other means of defence left-before such an expence was incurred.' He thought, however, that too little atention had been paid to this 'ubjea, and he never regretted any thing:more than the plan of Fortification brought forwurd'in 1786, shouhl.he negatived. With respe6t to the See Feecibles, he did . i. not extiftly . know of what they consisted, but he 'thought some arrangement 'ought to be made upon' the soiled; they ought certainly no to -.in elude any person hahie to the Itnpresa,:liut Pilori, and Fishetmen resident. on the Coast; who might be of essential service, and by whore: rainy Gun.hoats had ulteady been m an ned. Ai to recru i t i ng . th e Regular Army for . a' term of years, it 'would be produftive of much serious inconvenience, - as when ; .the terms,of service were expired, it might hapoen . that we should have no Amy remaining. Mr: .1. 3 111' said, it was not.,his intention to go into _a detailed examination of the question, whethir .the powers which had been entrusted to His Pla.: jesiy i kfrlinisters:hitd. or had not been judiciously employed,, or whether they might not have been_ exercised more lorthe benefit of the Coimtry.— . These . were points which, did not., now. necessarily . call for discussion, and therefore he should not at present enter into ahem., . He was: the more inclined to avoid entering into those points, becausehe con ,fessed he was :anxious at thii .moment to *fix the wl'ole of his attention to the dangers which threat ened :111A Ctitliatr.
