Besides, the proposed invrease would not atuount to more .than 70 or 80,000 i. a sum, when it was consideted, as.a remunerition to a part of the army, it was due to this dais of ofEl.• cars ; the more so,' as' the pay of the subalterns and privates had been ,increased., The pay of some of the civil officers of the State had been increased, and properly too; indeed, be did not See why the great officers ,of the State should not have an e advance, for' it was well known that many-el them were livieg On their private fortunes, the pay for their services not beihg adequate. Inquiry was desirable with re seed to the army, and he saw no danger to be ap prehended from the discussion. Sir James PULTENEY 'was disposed to igree with the Hon. General that the'class of officers alluded to deserved attention, but then he was apprehensive that the situation attic country would hot afford an increase of pay. General TARLETON, 11,01%hhatanding any wipe polarity it, oich m ight attach upon him for deliVerieg the sectilneritSll lie Shotlid, would not there fore be deterred. •In a debitc, at the conclusion of the lasi war, it was observed, by 'a Noble Lord, up on a motion similar iti it> nature to the present, that the time for such motion'was not when the country was at war, hat that it would be aetre advisable tit agitate it .in time oe peace. In that opinion the Hoooptable and Gallant G.2neell coneofred, 'and he still retained the, Same opinion. 'Toe qeestion, in a war of a plotr,taed nature_ like , he present, ought nut to be entertiinA at the same time he was dis. 7 prisocl to Atnit, that his 'in - wk. comrades in arms had cause ,for connelautr, ler the pay of the Army Otti: , cerei, from the :aek Fleid Maish.d ths,An to that of Ensign, was it adopeee. It was not 'soffit:lent to suppret there in fhe 'anti. which every Officeem the Bluish Army otae,.t to hold ; but if the situation of ally one class of officers was 'tit be considered, the whole weold haveemegeal. claim. The Hon. and G,elatir General cinfsidertd, that the increase of salary giv , n to otticets'in fte Government, the Mas ters in Chancery, &c. was pitioerty so Ore.,. but from tins ititeion he ilitlitt•diSwili : it ought not to be aghast d until the termination of the war. He had lived Ind served log enough ..o serious sail .ations in the world, not to be e ell s:it shed, that all desteiptions ottroops were ready alai s lhng to do shed; duty. There was not at any COUtilry in which he had, servee, a Claw, so truly respectable and brave, as , !hot of 13tinsit, Officers, carter io pub lic er private.

WlLl3rtitPOtiCa entertained a similar opinion, and suggested for the consideration of ois Majesty's .Gtivernment, whether some alteration would net be desirable in the naval service with respeil to the attainment of rank. It was to be ebserved, a con siderable ferf e before an Othcer, however • high his merits, could rise, ueless he had friends at the Board. He had known a 'Midshipman obtain'no higher rank for a riled of (25 yeai 6, and 'yet he was an excellent Officer. He thought that th e r i estieo of geadation and succession should be adopted in our sere ice. Geoeral GASCCIONE made a few observations in reply and the motion was put and negatived out a division. WCST INDIA LAJMURrits. Mr. Ilitnit.or rose to br.itt ,orwaro ri notion upon the I.,ubject of tree laPpurtrii-,for the We...t Indian Cowries. The .:teat abjectwhich he had w view bringing OA plan nelore tfie House, %Ails to lay the toundtd.,on of a system which would do away the nttetisity of negro slavery, and totally etadik ate it from the Nandi. He did not wish to interfere with the spteur at once, but to arnve at it by slow and gradual degrees, so that at last the abolition Should be co ur pl eie . i n or d er to e if eCt this, a it appeared to littn a great and desitible objed, he shotld prwoo to introduce into the Coluidei sup!)ly Of free laboureTs, 'who "might spew to des, slavesan example of what voluntary industry could acCestivplish ; and he was the more inclined to' thi, because„ of . late years, the population had mareri ally decreased. The Hon. Gentleman read from' a letter which he had received. by the last packet, which stated that the returns to the Assembly hfia mica, on the '29th March, 1810, were 10,000 slaves within the year, of which number the de- - crease had been nearly on the average 2 percthit This decrease he hoped would in future be Provided for by his plans, and that a commixture of man ners would produce an aretelioraiton, not only- of Manners, but of condition; among the slaves. This he conceived he was fairly justified in supposing from the number of Europeans who would be introduc ed; and the introdthion would have this beneficial effect; that it would keep our, possessions more se cure than they are at present, under the trail tenure of slaves ; cultivation of the soil would be Idvanc ed, the class of labourers he hoped to see int roduc,- ed would be drawn from the shores of Hindostap, and obsetved,• that he - mentioned this plan to Mr. Windham when - he was at the- head of the Colonial Department, and that Gentleman had approved of it, and urged hits to persevere. He now was urged to bring it forward from the recollection that Bt tayia would produce many of their people. ' Per sons thus brought, with their wives and families, should be free, not slaves of necessity, but shewing an. example of doniestic life, such as would induce the shves to follow the example. He calculated, that in two years after this exportaion, he should be enabled to ascertain whether the Plan would succeed: At least, he thought it was a -fit subjeCl fur discussion in a Committee. It would require no pecuniary aid from the public ; and should it` be determined that this was not the proper rime to adopt it, then it might be a'!opted when it was judg, ed expedient. The Honourable Gentleman at some [-wilt discussed the subject (rather at times ioau `titbits in the Glllery), and concluded by moving`:— " That a Committee be appointed to.consider the practi cabillity end expediency of supplying our Colonies with 'free labourers train the East Indus, and to report their opinions to the !louse." Mr. BROWNE said, thnt he did ndt • rise to,oppose tho motion of the Hon. Gentleman, for whom, in ileed, he en:emitted such a,respect, as would induce him to further rather than to retard any object which he might have in view. He declared, 'ever, that, with the most sincere wishes for, the • ameliiiralion of the.tniite of lite slaves in the West. Indies, he could not avoid thinking the plan pro posed by the 'Hon. Gentleman a visionary scheme ; &Moult iii tlie . execution,' and of very doubtful' ad vantage; Still he was desirotis t...at it ,hould aii dorgo investigation ; and the print yal purpose for whielnlierose, was to impress uron the Honse the importance of non COrrillg to a final deterinina!ion upon' the subject, until those had been consulted whose tnterests- were sit ntattrially at stake. He said_ this, because he knew , that the project of ihe Hon. Gentleman would be re , dived favourably by the Ho •se ; and bet a tit. `';o ayes Aitprehensive, - thit in the ardour cif 'heir feelings they might neglect what would pertiqs appear to them minor c ,nsidc tiuions. He•eutreated them, then:foie,. to look tiro subject io all its bearings ;' to look at it with a view to the nature of the advantages proposed Or the plin—to *the practicability ot the plan— ind above all, to the, which might result, is the, event ot a failure, tv.ai he introduction of a Vast poptiliitiou into the West Indies..

He felt this. strong objection . to the plan iniiinine, that it proceeded on the principle that the population of the nogroes was inadequate to the maintenance of their numbers. , This he denied. The negroes were ri prolific rare every where but in the sugar collet - ties, and even there, on those .eststes. io which they were treated whit More thau, or dmary humani , y, they were fully able to, main,* their numbers: If an expectation were held' tii .the planters, •by the present plan, of recruiting their plantations from other quarters, they would be less attentive, by good ,treatment, and Om restraint of abases, to. encourage Irlpulation among, their slaves. Tills would Appear still more ,probable,' it was I:Onsulered that the Colonial Assem blies hati - niten but tew steps, since the Abelition , Slave Trade, to meliorate the condition of the 'Slaves.
