Ills only objea was;.- to enter his. Protest against- this 'measure, sand to 'throw out some observations, which perhaps might be :wended to in future, when . any siinilzir meas'ire was brought forward. Fie in the titst`PlaCe, to deelate, that he• was • . nctt!tt friend to Militia Institutiohs in general-He didt nut approve •of them in EnglUnd, still less, in Scotland, -and his objedions. were still .greater when applied 'to Ireland. He would take it for'granted, lipeau , ;e it was . ..the unaointeus opinio'.n 'of all the 'lrish Gentlemen Wlio . had .splAcen upon the; subjed, tli f it 'the , IVliiitia , :e4,4iltii , netehe raised in Ireland as it'. was e in ; England;„ viz. by Ballot ; but he Totally• differed from them in the conclusion which they drew 'froni that circumstance, viz, that if the Milt.. tia could not be raised by. Ball'Ol;• . that therefore it might' to be raised by BountY.- If it could not be Itad by ballot, he would. not have it 'at all. 'He Spoke without any undoe bias upon his Mind • be was not a Military man, and had, neither prejudice Cr partialities, .but he certainly was twt a friend . to institutions of that sort. When he said this, lie hoped ; he s h ou ld not b e s.upposed .to .speak in dis paragement of the Militia, or of thoseGetitlemen, who had i'xerte3 themselves with sCi• mu ch spirit and zeal'irlthat service, and who hat fotegone many the Comfort's of life for the service'of the Country. He did nicAn t,, say that instirirtion had been brought to ['degree of perfedion beyond the most saeguine of 'Abs . & who list proposed the establishment of the Militia. He knew that litany legiinents':of Were as expert, and Made as good a figure i ,up,M' the 'ParU'de'aS any . Regu. rat Rtlgiment. He meant to impute to .hem to de , legs which - were not inherent to the institntign it self, The ivrilitia 'Army, however perfed its ills. cipline Might be, Was :in Artily, without experience, and indeed he hoped in einninon with every • body else, that it would altvays Continue so, because they could only gain expetienee by . being -called to ad against an Enemy in this Country.' He should not be told, that'in the whole range Of arts, niechaniCal, intelledual, and the art of a Soldier was the • , ) one that did not require 'experience. It might be said that the men who toadied the Militia w ere of the same" description 'es those who Consti tuted the Regulars, that the Officers Of the Militia were as brave -as 'those in 'the Troops -of the Line, and from the i t ife re k they had 'in the Country, must be as anxious to delend'it. - All this was true, but valour wouldliot--dervitnotereseperierreernt.

Mr. NOEL. here called Mr. WINDHAM to order, ;s 'he did not consider'-his arguments Ai ap. plying. to•the question before the .House. • The SPRAKER said, he considered the Right Hon.. Gentleman 'as. perfeefly in order. LVI NM? AM said, that 'with' respeff to'the defels which existed in the Militia-Forceohey did not arise friath the fault of: any 'person ; they were defeas"that necessarily 'arose ` : out of the nature of the- Irtititutia itself. But 'it • was obvious that a Militia Force could not be equal to a Regular Force, • because the latter was as good as the former for de.- ' fensive operations, and might be employed for pin. :.poses of offence : whereas the Militia could only be . :.employedat bottle for purposes of defehte. If you have a large force which might be• employed both 'for offensive and defensive purposes, though you might never send them out, cif the Country, yet they, would keep the. Enemy in check, because they could not foresee whether you would send them on foreign service or not ; but if the . Enemy knew, that you • had a large foroe in the Country, and also knew that you coald'nOt 'send that force out Of . the anti). try,iteertainly would relieve them from any appre_' hensions of attack 'on their own Coasts. Suppose at the rime when BONAPARTE marched into Italy, '• I* previous to.t hat Most'unaCcbOntable•Battle of Ma. rengo, when he Colleaed all 'the Troops he Could' in' .France, and made that' memorable passage of the Alps, which was almost as celebrated as . Ole passage , of Hanibal--=suppoie at that time we had 'had 30 or - 40,036 awn ready' Co make an attack upon the Enemy's Coast—he believed that the French would • not have ventured to have sent so large a pare .of their' force toltaly. ;•• . Mr. TVILL ACE called the Right FlOn. Gentle. man to order ; he conceived that these observations did not rise out of the subjeft before the House. • Sir WILLIAM PULTENEY said, though he did'obt agree with the lion. gentleUlan, yet hehoped he would be suffered to go 'on, because it was necessary that his : observations should be an. StVc red. Mr. Wl.;'sTh if AV said, that one of the great ar guntents 'for the Militia was, the 'COnstittuirmal Principle, that it prevented the necessity of a Stand it Army. But he thought there was now no gatinid for the apprehensions that used to be enter, tinned against a Standing Army ; at all events, the danger, if there Nva's any, Wa's remote ; while the danger which now threatened- was immediate and pressing. He could: not consider the , Militia a a L'onstitutional Force in the view it was first intend because it was now . foimed almot entirely of Substitutes. 'With respeEt econonty of the measure, he wished to - observeohatin such -a crisis. as the present, it . would be a b sur d to . b e gov erned merely' by views of ec-ortomy bht- certainly 'When they Were Considering whether they should give four guineas toMilitia.Men, or six guineas to Regulars, they might to consider the difference tL ere was in point of Utility between tlie two description's-a. Force, and in his opinion the difference between' the two descriptions of Force Was greater than the . dlf: terencebetween the ;Bounties. If this , bounty was. given to men to serve in the Militia, it certainly would very materially impede 'the Recruiting Ser. vice. fttr Tiotips . of the Line, lie knew that there 1 - mis t be a great .clegree of partiality upon this sub jt:'d in Gentlemen who had devoted their time and exertions to perfeft 'the Militia, and who must therefore feel-unwilling to see the effete of all their labour lost ; but at such a moment as the present, the Country must not be . governed by such consi derations as these. The danger with which we we're threatened was of 'sb-•immediate and paramount krtture,..ticat it required the constant exertion of all the ability of,..the Government ; the least error, the leistreloation might be attended with the most serious consequences. - -We - . were now going chise hauled,, antl - if we, only lost a point or two in curt, cnntse,, -we, rtinthe risque of. going to leeward of our port. It had been said, 'that at such a moment ad the present; the only object was to:call-forth the exertions of the Country,. and that it wai , tet' ong to comment . upon the nature of those exertions ; hut. in his opinion, the more, imminent-and pressing the' danger :Was, the. greater the necessity was that the' spirit and exertitans of the Cduttry should be pro- • perly ,tßreCied. , The SEC R.UARY .0- WAR Said, he certainly did not intend to lia've taken 4ny part in this Dc. bate , because lie did not 'think that 'any•Gentlentan " wo uld have introduced :such . subjects_ as - they' now heard.. But he could not sit siiil,after bearing, observations which,he,declarc(l, had given hint as much uneasiness 'as lie' had ever felt Since he sat in: that Houie; 'He agrded with an - Ben; Baronet (Sir Wm,• PULUNRY), that such arguments, ought- not to go forth.unanswerecl, even it' they ware irregular; ttieholgt was r h l thoughthestiay in i that the Right Honourable Geo. • order. He did nor, by any means complain of the:HOn. Gentleman's objedions to this measure, - he only -coniplained_that . the Right Honourable Gentleman bad made his general ob jedions ,at a' time, and upon. .an occasion .when these objections coulddead .to no praflieat condo.' siun. He complained that the Right. Hon. Gentle-. , man entertaining such opinions upon this subjed , as he now.appearerl to do, should, while he was in Militia to a degree 'office,. have augmented the here tofore unprecedented ; for the Right iion. Gentle 'min was at that time in a department immediately • •.col nedted with the- public twee. The , Right Hon. 'Gentleman had not only sidered the Militia in Eng land-to be sa aUgmented, but while lie held an jai , . 'portant office .in ,Administiation, the 'Militia of. :Scotland was loaned, and he believed that. -of : Ire. ;hind ; and yet upon,these - oceasions the. Right lion. Gentleman had urged no objection. 4t now, ,even the Right` Lion. Gentleman's objection's ,should: . prevail (unless the Parliament, were. tosuperiede all the Militia Laws at otice),. lla staied them for. the; tint time.. When . the .8i11,..0f t: hick the pref,ent one wits only a parr, was .befOre the fLptx, and when, from situation of the Country „his "tionsconid have been mote LielibCfa . tely .110 Illartift- Jy'eXathiPcd, the Right Hon. Gentlenum sat re!, telly 'Silent' He realty could not'Comprehend hot/ . , • 3- la itt,delitleittsti *ha hati ritual his Cotthift . in. many impOrtant situations, and for whose talentsJ and sentiments he had thehighestvenerationi could have allowed hihrself.at •suchh time : to make; such observatirans.... The . Ri ght : Flan; - .Gentleman had • occupied a - Considerable- time in provipg a. pro position. which nobody ever :Attempted .to dis. rite, viz.• that the Militia were not in . every Jesped equal to the Regular - Force. It was never intended that they should. be ; they were mere ly. Meant as subsidiary to the ,Regular TroopS, . - and he was convinced :ha: a better •sy tern could ,notehe- adopted, -with a view to the conititu. Clonal .principle, :.which he was ,convinced would never be given up.. He begged the House and the: Right Fitln 'Gentleman to • consider ,what the Militia kid . done ; in the year t 780 they saved the capital of this Cimmtry ; and upon every•occasion where their services were required, they came fot. - ward With promptitude and alacrity and he was c:invincect that no Country possessed a force, main tained at so small,an expence in time of Peace, that Could be made:so eireduil in time of War, and called forth at. so short a notice.--With regard to the Militia of Ireland, it was not necessary to re. mind the. - Hopse, that at the time of the Rebellion, they displayed. a degree of courage, that •shewed them to be inferior to no Troops in the world, and in conienaioh, with the Yeomanry ) put down . and trampled that Rebellion under foot,-and saved that Country to. the British Crown. .Asera the Militia of England, at one of the most.ctitical periods of its history, they voluntarily, offered their services , in Ireland; and though tile Rebellion was put down before many of them arrived there., yet it must be •allowed that they, rendered .most important service. one of the most important 'Expeditions whish was undertaken last War, the Expedition to Holland, the .greater part of the Army was corn. ,p i led of ,vnlunteers from the Militia ; and .though that Expedition failed in part, from causes very different from those which had been stated, yet :out Troops concluded themselves in such a man— ner, that those who had . upon that occasion to look them in the face, felt no great dis. 'position to. repeat the experiment.—MOch of she Right Honourable Gentleman's argument went upon the iupi:iititie ithat the Militia was preferred to the Regular Ferce4—that was by no means the case. But when the iiiltlieriso possessions of this Country were, considered, the:necessity of the •for . 'home defence would be obvious. He had.. the satis. faction of stating that : the Militia •would soon pear to, be in a state that would exceed the most sanguine expectations that. could have been formed (If it—that the Regular Force was more numerous and in a better dundition than it was in any part of the. Right 'Hon. Gentleman's Administration, and that there were more Troops new in Great Britain and Ireland than there were at any period of the lett :War. He trusted, therefore, that • the Country would, not be disheartened at any observations which. th Right l ion. Gentleman had made, for it was inot, in a better state than when it had bid de fiance to' all Europe. He wished that • the Right Hon. Gentleman had heard the sentiments of 'the Gentlemen froth Ireland, who all concurred in the impossibittty of ratsing.,the Militia in Country by ballot. , But at all events, he wished. the Right Ge h rleMae to reCollett, that if the Militia of Ireland was not raised in the manner now proposed, it must he attempted to . be raised by Ballor . or by Volunteers,: and in . that case .a Bounty Of six pound per man would be . •given, which would interf e re much more with the Recruiting Service than the present plan. It was true that the present 'mode would iwsome degree interfere with the Recruiting of the Army, but - Certainly not materially, because the persons who entered into the Militia, were such .as WOLlid not enter into the Regular' Seivice.e—He was sure that the Right Hon. Gentleman did not wish to dishearten the. Country, though his obser. vaticins had that tendency. The Right Hon. Gen. iceman had stated, that all the abilities of the Country ought now to be brought into action; undoubtedly every exertion was necessary, but at the same time much would depend upon the firmness and good sense of that House, and upon -the prudence which Gentlemen used in the obieriations which , they 'made in lhat-Hhese. Sir U'M'. -PULTENEY said, he gave the Hon. • Gentleman every credit for the ability he possessed, in painting a bad side. of the question in such co , - ,Thori, that would render it apparently., wise and proper for adoption. • But he could not help saying to the I-lon. Gentleman (Mr.. WI Not-lAm), that . be , had misstated faas.with regard to the Militia in the two Countries, as well as the dispOsable Trtiops of . the Nation ;• and thong!: the Militia of the t wo Chun tries had sliewn their courage In numberless in.. stances, and had met with the disapprobation of the Hon.Gentlemin, yet theConntry at large, excepthiM, had' beirowed every praise on - there Constitutional • BrAies, who are of National. Importance. lie:said, the Honourable Gentleman seemed to be 'very,much, attached to as Standing Artny, as he thought they: were more essential to the safety of the Nation' than. anyiMilitia that could be-established.' He said, he .' thought the tlon. Member appeared too fond of a rip. lar force,-and had not givenin his opinion a single argument, : offieiently strong,. to induce any .Member in that House to support his side of the question.. Sir WlLLia.i4 then noticed several arguments which had been used by Mr. WtN6HAra r nane of Which he" said, would convince the House. that a regular Army was preferable to a Militia-in Ireland, agreeable to the Plan .proposed - by the Bill now tinder discussion-. He had to observe, that if the Plan now:, mentioned by the Hon. Gentleman was to be adopted,. he, was sure yott wotild not get the countenance anditippoii . ' 'of the CoUntry Gentlemen, and a numerous bOrly* persona who have and will-enter cheettully into the. Militia. Many hundred persons felt it their duty,. tor their own private safety, and the safety of the nation, 'to *lst in 'the Constitution - of a• Militia in their respeetive.Counties; but few men.who had many private tie, as dear as life, and on which life itself depends, (such ai'men in business, and who could-nor leave their Country and farnilies fOr any length of =time), would enter into the regular service, however glorious and honourable the name of a-Btitith Soldier must sound to the eat of every 1141);, this he thought one important rea'son for the maintenance df a Mini. tia in both Countries : he thought- this was no time tor,a discusaiou like the present, a .discussion thia 6iiik Site* titetidn.

Mr. NDHAM Said a few words in explanation. GraeraITARLETON observed, that he concur reLt with the. Hon. Gentleman (Mr; WmitAta) many occasions, yet he must differ fr,an hint on thei present. Experience had 'proved tht okihry Of a Milititt in Ireland, as well as in this Country, &Mr man trust know that we have to deal wiui a Testiest: neighbour, it was therefore prudent :to guard out Coast•with Militia, as well as to have a sufficient:- bodyof regular disposable Troops, at ,the immediate service of GoVernmant. He thotwht no Inuasute 'could be suggested to,inswer the purpose of Ireland . as Well as the one now,'nnder discoOrm,.which be hoped would ,not meet an .opposition suffwiently strong tO,destroy it, He considered it i o mea s ure ;hat immediately called for the support of every Mem.; ber in the HoUse ::it‘theteleire should have his vote, st.r.z.;;P:4 RSO NS ; Oid, he 'bad an opportunity of knowing ,something of Militia of Ireland; as well as .the regular troops, .and he was convinced het shduld Oot do justice to himself and.the brave tia-titer of Eliai Country, if he had continued silent (11 a ques:tio n in which ~ they wereccinceraed. The Militia of Ireland had served several years, and hod proved themselves a noble and courageous of men ; and rhOugh there were at, pre4nr but a skeleton of a military' force in Ireland, it would be extremely impolitic not to increase the nurnber,s'i/f melt at metal and praise-worthy establishment, He would to the recolle'etion of the House, 0.-Lep-licit' when the French landed. at Bantry Bay: their condu4 at that time, as well as on many other •occasions, did them the highest credit : no.troops in. the Universe evinced more energy in the field„ than the . Militia. of Ireland :-those brave men Only felt disheartened When the wind would not perMit the remaining hart of the French to land ; this indeed was a pitiful disappointment to those courageous heroes, st•ho would have carried :victory, had die French Army .been dooble the nuiplxr. He' was sure.the Irish Militia was of the first consequence to the Country, and ought to receive every honour and attemion, which their.courage mid exertions .had long 'merited ,• and be could not sit down till he repeated wtiaL 11,4 been before observed,to the. House, that we were at present in a critical situation, and therefore every means ought to be.,used to keep .art.ambitious and over-grown F.,'nerny from . our_ Coast, 1.2 1 A" lA' GTO s",: si.dd, it was the. first time he had ever troubled the House on any question, and it ,was, not .leis intention to trespass on tlicir . time for many minutes . . ,-The. only. inducement he. had in addressing thertl, was.a misstatement made by, the Hon. Baronet behind. him (Sir NV, Put,. T ; £IIF.Y), who had said, his Friencl• (MC. NVIDHAZ.t) had made an attack on the. Militia s of the two. Ctitintries. he' was sore, was not the case ; . Hon. Friend had, by no means, sala any thing offensive of that .body cif Men ; he. had. taken objections io. the Militia on genetal prin. , ciples, and oiled arguments to prove, that a disc. posable• and Regular Force 'was of more import— ance to . the country, than the augmentation of the Militia could possibly be; whether., his I-lon. Friend's arguments. would convince the House of the propriety of his, .position, would be seen by the vote of the House. ,Yet he must be permitted. to.say, from,some Cnowlcdgc La Military affairs, that he 'concurred with . his Hon. Friend in some points, and, thought. that a regular dispos a ble Force would' be .more; -.serviceable' to. Ireland than the Militia. At the Same time hehad no objeclion to a Militia in either Country, yet he thought a .regular .disposable:Force was.better for either an, offensive or defensive purpose than a Militia was, as the re. gular Force was generally better constituted and - disciplined fur adualiorvice, than a 'Militia cnuldt . possibly be. In.proof of. his as,sertion, he begged the House CO' call CD their, recolletlian the Militia. that were sent to !Tolland, whose exertions proved their deleftive power, and evinced want of disci. Aline. This was well known to Government, and. had they . been all . regular Troops, there is . no doubt but they would have made a better figure. Th z!
