If, Sir, we cannot. be accused, of misconduel, if our Allies did not pursue their suc cess, or changed . their" objeits, I bad' much- rather be charged with having.'uted even hazardous means for effeding the deliverance. of El otope, than of hav- . it g:waited till 'we' could. •strilCa‘ blow, witk the paride of exertion, but, without its risque*, - and of-. et-ideal/oaring - to share the general glory. with;. out participating, in. the common danger. Tb e period. of . the year in which the Troops Were sent to Hollatiel, renderedit impossible that the-Campaign thou'at. be a long one; but those who know the • difficulties . attending:. New Troops, know that the inccevenienee does not arise from their want of valour, bet expetience; the danger to be are. 'tended is, not that they will not at bravely in . battle, but that they cannot contend against the, severity of the season. The conduct of our Troops in Holland, is a. complete proof of this assertion,a-- they behased iii a manner that did honour to the spirit of the Militia of this Country, and of all its • Inhabitants, from whom they were chosen. They Were .. found in the field to he fully equal - to the-, veteran Troops of rratico, to whom they were op_ posed, and superior to those against whom it wits Most likely they would have to coetee. What they suffered, therefore, was not so - much in anion as from other difficulties to which they were un avoidably expOsed. And this shows, that they . neighs, with great propriety, have been sent upon an Expedition, the operation of which was not likely to be long, though it might not have been prom to hove sent them upon one which was likely to he of considerable duration.' But that our Troops should not be ready ,fOr service, after a severe Winter, at an • earlier period than Troopt in - the more Southern and warmer ,parts of Europe, is a mat ter of criticism that would I confess surprize Ere, if I could be surprised at any thing coining horn that quarter. I wish that the statements aside by Gent men on - the' Other side of the House at dif- • ferent periods could be compared together ; at one time it was said that we had destroyed a whole Army in Holland, but that statement was abaiidon ed when- the accounts of the killed and wounded arrived ;'but now they forget the losses of that Arthy t , anti contend that it should, after a severe catnpatge l have been able to furnish a greater t num.. her of menthan it originally contained ; so that the statements of Gentlemen. upon this, as upon most other occasions,. make completely ageiest them_ ideas.

The force em :ploy edi, was, t he refore,. on tho statetnentsof the Right Hon. Gentleman himself, unfit for the set that • had to perfOrm, before it could effett this obje of •co-operation. He Would desire no stronger-ground of charge than this to. criminate Ijia ;vtajesty"s late Ministers. The loss. suffered: in that Expedition 'has been adverted to. He wished that the assertion of his HOn: Friend on a former Occasion' had been more fully disproved. But the Right lion. Gentle man asserts: that that loss was small. He believed that were he to estimate it at sOOO men, he• would deny that it was so great. Now the force sent on that Expedition at least amounted' to 25,000. men; 'and • he recollected the words well which had been. used on a • former occasion- respelling this Army, ", That it was one of the finest which had ever sailed from this Country." Yet three months after its return the Commander in Chief in forms the War-Minister, that it will require two to get in a proper state of discipline, to be sent on a Foreign Expedition, a force of 20,000 men. Thus, on grounds of their own slieWing, he • would contend that the Criminality of His Ma i jesty's late Ministers is fully established. For what purpose did they come to the House, year after year, to ask, an increase of the Military Force of the . Kingdom I Was it not that they might have a dis posable Force ready for every exigency ? It is no defence against the charge which the Letter of the Commander in, Chief coetalOs against thym, that part of the force sent to Holland wai. Such as was not fit for a distant Military Expedition.- - He would always contend, that it is a most unpar liamentary practice for 'Ministers to read extrails from letters or papers not before the House, fortheir own justification. But he recollthed well che'Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Durams) on a former occa sion, to repel a charge brought againit him, reading -an extraft from a letter from Sir R.'A.aFF.t:ttOMB Y after the taking of the Helder, in which that Ge neral used the expression that the men drafted from . the Militia in his Army, were a superior race of men. This proves that the assertion is not true that' there were none of the men drafted from the Militia in the embarkation which sailed under Sir R. As tit CROM BY. But it farther proves that these men were not so undisciplined and unfit for military operations as the Right Hon. Gentleman would • now chase to represent them: But the Right Hon. Gentleman has made an attack upon Gentle Men on this side . of the House. It must be allowed 'that in the • course' of the . present War measures of great violence have been resorted to Majesty's late Ministers. 'He ;thanked God that they had uni forint), met with the most unqualified; opposition from .11im, and those who with him theie Ministers bad sometimes chosen to style the supporters of the . principles of the French Revolution. He acknow ledged that he had approved 4)f the original princi ples of thatikrtolutton ; but it 'was the manner in which thestprinciples had ,been abused and pervert ed,- thatisad enabled 1 he Right Hon. Gentleman, not only to violate the Constitution and, Liberties of this Country, but also to injure the cause of Liberty throughout the world. The Right- Hon, Gentle. 111311 has said that we hold 4()NAPARTE in venera tion. He would not pretend to say what meaning the Right lion . '.Gentleman a ffi xed to the word ve neration. He was ready to acknowledge . that he admired• the successes of that illustrious roan, .and ,the talents which have commanded them ; but, be fore he could have his veneration,he has yet a greater victory to gain- than any which he has yet gained— a vidory, over himself. The talents which have raised him to power, rank him am9ng the greatest men of this or any other age ; but he must have the virtue, the moderation, and the self-command to lay down his power, and to grant tree. Libe t t - ty to the Country which ,be .governs, 'before he 'can, in his opinion, ,be entitled' to veneration. He farther admired the moderation with which he had used, his' power, , a moderation which; indeed, was his best .security for its continuance. He hoped that it would be still farther displayed - in his lay ing down his power. Here be could not help. contrasting for a moment the condua of 80. l's7Al' 'alit with that of His Majesty's late Mi_ nisters, who, on tejet‘ling the dignified and mo derate Proposals for Negotiation which he hadMittle to this'Conntry, represented him as with Out means, Without resources, without power, and whose ruin was inevitable if we did not,listen to his overtures, which•theralledged was the only thing . which could save him and establish his authority. [Here Mr. GREY drew a short contrast, very unfavourable to the condu4 of this •Country.l He had 'been led af ter .the Right Honourable Gentlenaan thUs far from • the immediate Question before the House, which is simply, 'whether this Letter from the-Com manaer io 'Chief ought to be produced I It has bee n sa id t h a t no — Parliamentary ground has been shewn for thelgotion, and the Right' Hon.

If it doei", however, con : min such matter, what right had the Ai4ht Htin.

He would contend that there it ground of serious charge somewhere ; •He would-not- make it particularly agaillst the Right - HO. Gentleman, bur it must fall either on him oar: on the C,ommatider in Chief. On' these grounds he would Support the Motion.. • • lo . rd FOLKSTONE declared he would vote for the Motion, as - a means of vindicating ,the Charader of the - Militia. • He was not an Officer l of `the Militia himself, but a near . relation of his had, ever since the Comnieneement.of the War, devoted much of his time, and sacrificed many comforts, for the purpose of forming and improving, it, and he conceived it cxtreme-ly hard that he, and those who shave aEted liiLe him, should now be told . that, the want of discipline in men drafted unjustly, and unwisely - in hi 7 opinion, from the Militia, was .the cause why a 'great plan of Government could not be carried iota effed. Sir s 744lfgS ST. pLAIR ERSKINE began by observing, that some Geetlemen seemed to ..have formed a very erroneous idea of the meaning of.the word discipline,. for that each man in a regiment might be puled master of the manual exercise, and yet the regiment might not be well disciplined. He agreed itith - those who'supported this Motion, who said that if a force was not ready .when lc ought to be, and was appointed to be ready for any specific purpose which the service of the Country demanded, blame:was imputable same where, and for his own part, he . had no doubt 011 what quarter that blame should, alone rest ; it ccrtainly.must be fixed on the Commander inChief; but, heconteni-, ed„that on examination of.all the Cads in this case, there would 1,4 found no blame to be imputable to the'lllnst riousCommander inChiefupon this occasion, from his not having a .force of 20,000 men semi) , can the iBth of February last, to : be sent on foreign service.i—The first, embarkation or Troops on the Expedition. to Holland, under Sir RALPH.

The other .two embarkations -consisted principally of drafts from the Militia Regiments. He said he did not mean . to enter 'into an, examination - of the plari or condu& of the Expedition ; nor ,to inquire whether the 'troops sent on that,Ex pedition. were such as were adapted to the °b led for which they were sent, but what was most ruterial tai the consideration of thi; question, was tit: time of the return of these Troops : they returned,,prin_ eipally, in November, but he Would ventrrre to say that. they had pot all arrived at, and taken up their winter. .quarters in this Country. until about Christ- The old re , ,ytilar Troops which 'returned from the Expeditioe, were almost imitiediately after sent to Ireland for the defetiee'of that met df His Majesty's dominionS; the remainder of the Troops, Consisting of drafts from the Militia,, certainly, required train_ night be fttl idually, but as a body they could not be . well disciplined, considering. that they were drawn from different regiments, and composed-of partiei.which,were not accustomed to akt in concert with each. other. — This was one part of the'force of which the Expe dition to the Mediterranean was composed : the other pacts, composed of drafts from the Irish tia Regiments, hadl not even .exi'f:tence at Christmas, for the Bill enabling His INl*3ty to.nrike that draft had not then passed., .He thereforeconteoded that, considering .the severity Of That winter, it was not at all surprising to ,any.
