The Marquis of SLIGO said, from the general ap probation which the measure resulting from the Mes sage from the Crown, had received from all sides of the I - louse, he should not have judged it necessary to trouble their Lordships with one word on its sub. .jea, if it had not been for something which had fell from a Noble Duke, by which he seemed to consider, that if the services of the Irish Militia were necessary in this Country, it would be more advisable and more manly to obtain them by an At from the Parliament of the United Kingdom, than by the acceptance of their proffered services.— Hia said, the Irish Militia had been en. listed explicitly for serving in Ireland on/ y, and, therefore, however wise the principle suggested by the Noble Deke, couid not be ad , :d upon at the present. To comply with that advice, the first strp must be to discharge every one of those "Patriots, who had now voluntarily tcnderd their services, and enlist again on the terms of extended service. Lord Scico said, that every measure tending to cement the Union of Great Britain with Ireland,_ ever had, and ever should have his warmest con. currence. Every thing that assimilated them to each other, every thing that made them one, every thing that created in them one interest, and one feeling, added to the happiness, the strength and security of the Empire ; and if the period should happily arrive, when a population of near twenty millions should be brought to ad under one mind and one feeling, they had little to fear from their Enemies, though the world were united against them. The Earl of LIMERICK observed, he should have contented himself with a silent vote upon the present occasion, were in not for One point in the Speech of the Noble Duke. The condud of the Irish Militia was on this occasion above all pane gyric ; he would leave it to other Lords to at tempt it ; but to the point : What had been stated by the Noble Marquis, respeaing the Irish Militia being enlisted for the limited service of their own Country, was true ; and with resped to the Noble Duke's idea of coming manfully forward, with a Legislative provision on the subjed, it may be manly and courageous, but certainly, under the cir. enmstances of the case, it would be dangerous. He was adverse to the experiment of legislating for men, so circumstanced as were the Troops in ques. tion, with arms in their hands ; he must negative the N tble Duke's proposition. At the same time, no man could more earnestly wish for a reciprocity of the Militia service than him Al', and he had al. ways held out the idea as tending to consolidate the Military Force of the United Kingdom, and render it the more secure : but under the circum stances of the case, this could not he effeaed, as far as the Irish Militia was concerned, by legisla. tive provisions in the first instance. Lord GRENVILLE delivered his sentiments up. on the subjed at some length. He was solicitous to contribute his share of applause to the ardent zeal and patriotism of those Troops who had so laudably come forward, and he agreed with the Noble Mar quis in what he had stated as the probable result of the Union between the two Countries. It was the objets of that great measure to identify the interests of Great Britain and Ireland, and to pro. mote the happiness and security of both—to bring them not only under one Legislature, and System of Laws, but that the spirit of Government in both Countries should be precisely the same. As far as these principles were aced upon, so far were the objects of the Union attained. He was aware of the terms upon which the Irish Militia was raised—not by means of ballot, as in this Country, but by means of a bounty, on enlisting the men it would certainly have been preferable that the desired ar rangement was the result of Legislative provisions, and not, as in the present instance, proceeding from the voluntary offers of the Corps themselves. At the time the Bill, by which the Irish Militia were so raised was under discussion, it was earnestly re commended to Ministers, that the Militia so raised by Bounty, should be raised for the service of the United Kingdom--That advice was then rejeaed, and in consequence thereof, they were placed in the present predicament. After several other observa tions, his Lordship said, it was by no means his in tention to oppose the Motion. The Marqu;s of SLIGO said, he apprehended the whole of the Irish Militia had tendered their ser vices; were that not the case, he was confident, there was not a man among them, who would feel averse from it. Lord HAWKESBURY said, he was not aware that they had ; but several Regiments had offered. Lord HOBART made a few observations in justi fication of the conduCt of Ministers on the subjea in question, and he agreed with the Noble Lords who had adverted to the terms on which the Irish Militia were enlisted ; to depart from those in the first,instance would be a breach of faith. As to the advice which the Noble Lord Pit ENvrt.LE) averred was given to Ministers pending tht discussion of the Bill alluded to, he did not recollea the circum stance. After few observations from 1,-,rd DARNLEY, Lord GR. ENV I LLE inquired whether the offers were tendered by entire Regiments, or only by parts of certain or different Corps. Lord HAvvicEsEußY replied, by entire Regiments. The question was put, the Address was voted, and ordered to he presented to His Majesty by the Lords with white staves.

After some private business was disposed of, the House, on the Motion of Lord HAWKEbDURY., ad. journed till Thursday se'nnight. HOUSE OF COAZMONS. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28.

After bringing up the Report, he moved, " That the Committee should have leave to adj 'urn to Monday the 9th of April."—Leave given.

After a few words from Mr. KINN.Air,D, the names of the above Gentlemen were added to the Committee. Sir R. BUXTON was proceeding to propel. four English Members to be added to the Committee, • but afterwards withdrew lus Motion, and gave no tice of it for to-morrow. THURSDAY, MARCH 29; 18°4. IMPERML PARLUMENT. HOUSE OF PEERS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28. COUNSEL were heard in continuation relative to the Cross Appeal, Abercromby v. Fleming—namely, Mr. BOYLE, at considerable length on the part of the Appellant. After which, their Lordships adjourn ed the further consideration of the case till Friday se'rinight. Sir F. Butt D ETT and others brought up from the Commons the St. Pancras Workhouse Bill, and also an Inclosure Bill, which were severally read a first time. Their Lordihips ordered that the period for re ceiving Re t orts from the Judges, on Petitions for Private Bills, be enlarged till Monday the 9th of April. • Lord HA wocesso el- moved the Order of the Day, for taking His Majesty's Message into consi deration. Accordingly the same, together with His Majesty's Message, were read. The Noble Secretary then observed, that, with respect to tie Address, he should have the honour to propose to His Majesty, on the occasion of his Message, he hoped it would, when the im p ortance and favourable nature of the subjea were considered, meet the unanimous concurrence of their Lordships ; the more so, as in the Address there would be no- Thing tending to pledge the House to the adoption of any specific measure, but merely general expres sions of their willingness to concur in enabling His Majesty to take advantage of the offers made by several Regiments of the Irish Militia. Here his Lordship said, he rood not avoid repeating his tribute of applause, to the ardent zeal and patriot tism, which dictated these offers of extended ser. vice. The voluntary coining forward of these Troops in so laudable and patriotic a manner, was following up the auspicious Measure of the Union, in a most important and striking instance ; and tending to identity the interests, the happiness, and the prosperity of both parts of the United Kingdom. It was unnecessary then, to take' up their Lord ships' time with any derailed observations upon the subject, as it would, hereafter, come under their discussion, in a regular shape, farther, than to ob serve, that one important objet} to be attained by it, was the increasing the dieposeable Force of this Country. His Lordship concluded, by proposing an Address, couched in the style to which he had alluded, and corresponding, as usual, with the pro. .mincnt features of the Message. After the Address was read from the Woolsack, The Duke of MONT ROSE expressed his readi ness to concur with the Noble SECRETARY of STATE in his eulogium upon the zeal and patriotism of the Troops who had come forward in the way adverted to in His Majesty's Message. He was happy in such au accession of force in the present circum. stances of the Country, and should concur in the proposed Address. At the same time he would beg leave to offer a few observations upon points cons neaed with the su bjsa, which was of peculiar im portance; and first he would observe upon the in. jurious tendency of armed bodies of men being suf fered to deliberate, and in that point of view he had to regret that the offer proceeded from the Troops ; he had rather such extension of service were in con sequence of a prescribed duty on the part of Govern. meat and the Legislature ; that which was perform. ed by persons so circumstance d, as a duty, would be well executed ; but, when they considered it as their doing something more than a duty, the chance of it; being well performed was less.—(" Hear! Hear !" )-1 - le thought it would he preferable in His Majesty's Government, on such an occasion as the present, to come forward in a manly way, and at ;Doc:: propose legislative measures to render reci procal the Militia Service of both Countries : this Would be furthering the happy effects of the Union on the interests, the happiness, and the security of all parts of the United Kingdom. Regulations of this kind were became the more necessary as the relative situations of those Countries, more espe cially with regard to Continental considerations, and the agrandizement of France, was of late conside rably changed. It would be necessary that this Country should become much more a Military Na. Lion than it had been for many years past, and in this necessary change, he thought that the Nobility and Gentry of the United K - ingdoin should take the lead; they should enure themselves to military habits.— He e e was aware that the extension of the services of British Militia to Ireland, would be rather un palatable to many of its Officers; to some, who on account of age, or feelings of disinclination, may not wish to serve out of England, and that the unavoidable consequences of such would be several resignations : this, in some points of view, was to be regretted ; but when put in competi tion with the advantages which would arise in con sequence of the extension of service, the ill effect would be but little ; added to this, it would afford an opportunity to the introduction of young Officers, even to the higher ranks of the Militia Service, which he thought would be preferable to having these Corps officered by old men. The ex perience of History informed them, that Victories in general, were achieved by young Commanders ; for instance, the Cases of the Wars carried on by the old King of Prussia, and his Successor, the Great Frederic, who was very youn g w h en he I commenced his military career ;—the repeated Vic. tories which the French gained over the Austrian Forces in the late War, were principally owing to the exertions of their young Officers. Young Com. menders may commit errors, but they generally re trieved them by achieving Victory : whereas, old men generally let the occasion go by, while their endeavours were direaed to avoidthe • • C0111:111S31011 LISKEARD ELECTION.. Mr. SHERIDAN presented a Petition from Thomas Sheridan, Esq. complaining of an Unt'ue Eledion for the Borough of Lisk , :ard. After slat ing that he wished to propose that the Petition should be taken into consideration .on the first open day after that fixed for the consideration of the:PC. Orion of Right, he observed, that he thought it uiterly impossible that the House could suffer the other Petition ftom Mr. Hiv.kisson to be taken into consideration previous to the discussion of the Peti tion of Right, as it was impossible to say that the Committee on either Petition might not go into the merits, which would interfere with the consideration of the right. The SPEAKER observed that the only question which could then be put, was r.:pr , `ling the day for taking the Petition just presented into can- . sideration. Mr. SHERIDAN then moved that it should be taken into consideration on Monday the 23:1 April.—Ordered. Mr. SHE I DAN afterwards moved the reading of the order of the day, for taking into consideration, on the 9th of April, the Petition of Mr. 1 - lusK SON. - _ Mr. PITT urged, that there had been no re. gular notice given to move the postponement of the consideration of this Petition, and therefor:. at any rate, such a motion ought to be delayed. With a view to the consistency of- their proceedings, they ought to adhere to what they had already done, unless some very strong reasons were shewn to d-c contrary. It was also consistent with the pranice cf the House, that a double return shOuld have the priority in consideration, whilst in this the sues. tion resFßing that return could not interfere wi h the question of right. It was wholly uncertain when ft at question of right would be determined;
