preceded him, no objeflion of any weight had l:een advanced against the Bill now on their Lordships' Table. If any thing were necessary to convince him that the objeCtioos were not in_ tended to prove the inefficacy and want of merit in the measure itstit,• but were designed merely to op,. pose those who Were in Administration at present, and to thwart their efforts, the speech of the Noble Lord would have confirmed this opinion. Whoever was acquainted with the 'talents and genius, vigour and abilities of the Noble Lord; would not readily believe that he. would. be reduced to the necessity of urging light •and frivolousobjqtions against the measure, if solid and well.letit!ded argument could have been adduced. , .It was plain, from .his speech, that no real arid substantial objedions_could be pro duced, and therefore, upon, the merits of the case, h, had a right to claim the apvrobation and support of their Lordships, and of every person who wished well to the :Government of his Country. If the ohjedions of the Noble Lord . had been really urged to the merits' of the Bill, and not to the persons, who brought it : forward, it would, however, have been unnecessary for him io have departed from hat manly, fair, and proper course of argument, ,Which must be expelled in .that,house. He would not, in that case, have resorted to that lovi• vulgarity of sen timent which left him nothing else to say - in support of his‘side of.the question,, except to allude to the Income of the Noble Lord on' the Woolsack, and to itiveach the fairness.aud justice of the means by whicii he attained that income.

Lord C i?N ARV9IV.—"NIy Lords, I have onl) to say, that it never entered into toy, imagination to state that the gible and Learned Lord on the Woolsack had acquired the greater part of his in. come in any way inconsistent with propriety, or the principles of the British. Constitution ; .I only, said, that: the principal parr of the income of the Noble-Lord was derived from other sources than his landed property. This, I believe, he himself will confess. It Makes nothing against him nor his in_ come, but, at the saute time, .it, goes fully to sup port my argument.; Lord MULGR APE then proceeded. The ar guments of the Noble Lord were, however, desti tute of their usual force ort this cecaSion,, a circum_ stance which went in a great • measure to s'ogg,toi that his objedions were, nor so, much against the Bill itself, as against those who ,brought in thC,Bill. Hit Lordship had characterized the measure as cruel, unjust, and oppressive, and as overturning, in a great degree, tile means of recruiting for the Regular Army, while it so much reduced our Con stitutional Force, the Militia. But if their-Lord, ships only looked to # the ballot for the Army of 'Reserve and the Militia; w!lich this measure went to destroy, could it be called cruel' and oppressive ? Many of their Lordships, well knew the evils re_ suiting frnm.this severe mode of raising men. The ballot Often fell on poor people who were utterly unable either to provide Substitutes or serve per: tonally, on account of their families, which, in such an event, must be thrown upon the Parish for support. . In the present measure, this severe grie - , vance was removed—the men, instead of being pro cured by a heavy contribution on particular 1 (leak were to be provided by general and impartial cotyributinns from the Parishes, which were either to furnish their quota of men, o r , pay. the floes, -which would -enta‘ble the Reel uiting Officers to pro. cure thorn.. Was it possible, then, that this would be celled a cruel and oporessive measure by any one who attended to its 'obvious tendency, without pre. judice or partiality ?. No, it could nor he. What deli could be cil,jeded to the Measure? In fact; no. thing could be urged against it on its own merits, as far as it was a measure of trial. It was a mea sure the best calculated, under the present circum. stances of the C untry, to answer- the purposes which the. Government of this Realm ought steadi ly to keep in view. It we n t to for the safety and benefit of the State, with as little incur , - venience to the Country as the nature of things would admit of. It went to relieve the poor and industrious Peasant from the heavy weight of the ballot, which sometimes was apt to crush and his family to the dust. It wits calculated to afford every relief whichwas possible, under-exist ing circumstances, to those who were leastal , :. to endure the burden which the necessities of the times rendered it necessary to n - npoe., Could this -then be called a cruel and oppressive m ea , sure ? Never, by those who were disposed can. didly to -advert to t.he real tendency of it, and to consider it On its own merits, witOout regard t, prejudice or Party. Why then, with regard to flit. Militia, he had the honour,, when spektvg from another side of the House, to advert to this subject, to utter sentiments which, at that time, met tr,lll the concurrence of the Noble Lord (a (;v of 1 ‘ Hear! Hear !") The Noble Lord had tlaen coo. • curred it] the propriety of keeping the Militia to their proper establishment,; in order to reader it possible to furnish them with that peculiar species of Officers, which, in a particular manner, fitted the 11 , 1ilitia for a Constitutior4l F.)ice. Bat now, when the object of the present was precisely what the No!)leLord aneared to halve c , ,ritendeCi for, how _ . was it that. he suddenly became averse to that very measure for which he had riefore dipl:iyed •so much ? This Bill was calculated to reduce the Mi. liti4 to thi!..ir constitutional esTablishinent ; to thai precise !:umber which the Nuble L.,rd had eagerly desired. It went tp .destroy :Fe and other obncAti.)us circumstances to . which the N6ble . Lord had formerly given his dissent. Was it 'not then somewhat extraordinary, that he should still pers'i!t in his opptssition to the measures of Government, when these measures were perfealy consonant tot:a plans which Ate himself had formerly supported Te Noble Lord had excited his talents to oppose, what, in his opinion, were the very measures %dile!• he wished to adopt when he had the honour of speaking from the other side of the Ritti l e. But, in fad, the arguments adduced against the Bill, did nor go in any degree to affed its merit. What were the objects of the Bill ? They were to provide that proper Disposable Farce which waerequisite in 'the present circumstances of the Country ; to relieve the individual from the heavy effeas of the ballot, and lay them upon the community, where in justice all burshens ought to be laid, sinless they were to be-laid partially and unjustly ; and to_ foupd a ; per manent resource for the recruiting of the Army.— Where, then, were the objeCtionsof the Noble Lord ? They could, nor be to the destruction of the ballot, for that he himself had on many occasions repre hended. They could not be to the,destruction of the Militia, fur he himself had declared that, it was proper they should be reduced to their constitus tiogal establishment ; neither could they be to ,the raising a Disposable F ice, for this he had also de. dared was very desirable. To what part of the 'measure then were his objeCtions applied ? Oh, the Bill was 'not calculated to be efficacious; it could not be attended with any expeditious or permanent effect. It was a vain attempt to endeavour to ;Cro cure men for the first battalion, by recruits from the second_ These argurnentshe had heard adduced 'ore different occasions, and - by men Of considerable lents. But these objeaions were rather 'Specious thin solid. He had been for some time in the ;Army. A Serjeant in* the Guards had been pre_ vented from going to'Holiand, - although belonging; to one of those Companies which Were sent there' 'The consequence was, that he dez.eited; and never 'made his appearance till'he sheaved himfself on ship board, so anxious was he to share in the 'dangers and glory of his 'companions. ThisAvas a probf that no account of the danger's and difficultieiOf - the first battalion would prevent the men \'sho -- cons, posed the second from being desirolis' Of 'ehterink into it. We 'were to recoiled that thjleeliilgs - ,61 - Englishmen would lead theM al - Ways' to partieipate - the danger; and - glory of their conipanions ;coold we suppose that they svisu!sl be`So intich swa yed by s t d. fish and cold consideratiOns, as to desire to remain s., 'at home inadive when their . friends:Wets o ia sa s iSt the Enemy, and adding addithosal lustre to she name ofsoldiers, by their exploits - in deferiee of their; Country? No; these were,not the 'ets:traeteristic of Englishinen. The generous feeling of stheil datnre,: - which had shone fot , h so ' O6 "many oc&a.. sions, would !sad them so aspire with ooble - emilla (ion to rival the - glory of their comrades. This was the way in 'which the measure Wou;il operate,' what ever' those keho were less - acquaineed with the siub teel mighs 'Adveriii'ig then 'to all these circumstances ;',Considerin; 'the genius of the Eng lish Na:isn, - the zeal of tine People for the National Dsfens:e and the National Glory ; the g'enersilts smalatton of the lowest'of its subjects, who seemed feel the • happy 'effeets - cif a free Con st i tut i on ; with 'all these thing's could n 6 .1 'but ex-, pret that the present 'measure Would, be abundantly . ;(lequ'ate•to all the purposesfor 'Which it Was-intend ' ed. With this convietion - on hisnaind; he Was sa' ti's fied that the measure how proposed *as one whietl ought to meet with the. approhation of the HOn se , and every unprejudiced ;lesson in the Na.'tionS Earl MOIRA opposed the - Bill. 'The arguMents of the Noble Lord who spoke' last, were-ndt•Contlu_ sive in favour of the measure whiCh he wished to support. In order ' folly 'to' appreciate 'the merits _of the Bill now bet tre the House, it was necessary to consider what the nature of-that situation was in which - the present. Minister's 'Stood . ; the circun_ . stances of :the Country, and the'ineastires WhiCh'it had a right to expect at the hands &those who had assmed its Government_ The present IVlini,;ters Nati entered upon their offices with pledges to the Country that they would correct all the errors of the late Ad- Ministration,. that they would strengthen ourde fence,where it was weak, and supply it where' it was 'wanting. They had come' into . p6Wei on the implied condition of remedying the defeas . of their predecessors. They 'pledged' theinselves'io put the Defence of the Country on a 'More secure Tourida tioo, and a firmer basis that's it had beeti.' During the continuance of the former Adtniniatratibro they had 'engaged'to ensure our defence at 'home, and our respettability abroad. This - Must - be theobjeet that they had in' view ; for 'this was 'the resson Tor the retirement of the last Administration. He would consider the - question without' the smalleit'allusion to the manner in which the present - Administeation had been formed; and this was' a condunl which those on the, same side with him would certainly pursue. The Bill would be discussed on its - :own merits, and the elle& which it was 'calculated to `produce. The question, then, would be, the ob_ jed and tendency of the Bill, and how 'far themeang were fitted to attain the objed proposed'? ' With regard to the objea of the Bill, as farai it went to the establishment o f a P erma n ent Force, for t the se curity of this Country in these perilous times, no objeltion could, with justice, be made; 'with regard to orOviding a Disposable Force, this was also not only desirable, but absolutely essential to tlse;svel. fare and dignity of this Country. It was necessary, in the present circumstances' of Eurbpe, That the `Country should be pbssessed of a large DispOsable - Force, not only to ensure• its' safety, but also to support that respeetability which it - ought to' hold in the scale of Nations: What; then, were the means provided by this Bill for attaining these ob. ice}, ,1' With regard to our honie'defenCe, we were fully and amply prepared in that respell, and it would he entirely ridiculous to,, talk of 'an - Enemy making any serious" impres s ion upon the Country in its present state of security. There' was' no neces - ! . sity, therefore, .for talking of that general despair Which had sometimes been mentioned. We were I . . not rrduced to the last extremity nor obliged only to consider. how, like Julius' Czsar, we shimid cently die ; something more was to be Considered ; we ought to hav'e a Disposable' Force: The Noble Lord who spoke last had treared'ul:tfairly the argd. 'merits used on his gide of the House: • I t was not 'Zilietted that the Bill. would be iuiallyliadeqUate rb the Defence of the Country ; that point Was already attained. The provisions for the security of the Country were now fully sufficient, and it was in truth titteriy- impossible that any danger from the Ene my could now seriously he apprehended. But the question was, Hew we were to.procure a Disposabl Force adequate to the present emergencies ? N. man could imagine that at the present mnment there was any Opportunity to employ such a Force on the Continent ; but it was not in the mother - it when it was -wanted that we ought to set about procuring a_) s. posable Force. This Bill, however, would not serve speedily to procure a ,'ore.e equal to our home de. fencee bus- the, point Was, to procure a Force tide . quate to .our present emergencies. Why 'did - we . enter upon wart? Was itim not because it w as possible:to exist under the shadow of France ? To say that the Rock of 'Malta .was the cause of,. the War was ridiculous. The 'cause of the War was, that this CoUntry c ou ld 'n ot with sidety allow : the aggrandizement of France, in consistency, with which this Country cannot maintain that place atirmi the Nations'of Europe which it is entitled to-hold. We were not to-look -to a defecsive War Merely. It was' necessary we e shou:d be prepared With a Disposable . Foree; to enter . ieto any means, with'alacrity. that offtred a favoprab:e prosped of curbing the power of Fr.-Ince: We were the most interested in the presenteWareof any Nition of 'Europe,' wind we. ought, therefore, to be ready to any Nation:which. et - tuld 4oire us in the con. test ; and-this:was the elsjed which Ought to be kept in view, in considering .sise-inerits -of .the yeesene Bill. Now, then,- this view pt' what' Were the provisions, of this .and .how were they:..calculatedeoee - oduce.theirdesirel t4:feffs'?' The Bill, he said,--had b-eli called meg:story itoLl pressive. 'With respect to the former point, iihatl• been so much argued,_ that be should say 'nothing more :Upon the subjed j'he ;: I<3il"I was, however, oppressive, inasmuch as it compelled' the Parishes . to pay the sarne fines whether they neglefted to raise the men through iliait'ention or disobedience, 'or whether they were unable to.taise theirein con. sequence of „being previPusly exhausted by the of fedied_other measures and-41111ex tHE"knew, tor instance, a County in Scoelaud e ,sthere so many men, had_ been .'raised for the Militia and Army of ReseiVe, - .apd"rehere sp.many, had _come forward as 'Voluteteers,- not with 'any v.:ieW to exc . :l.'4)6° , oS,but Yaettbited 'by trii: patriotic sPi r i t ; and by an arcant :desire to meet -the Foe whenever he should land,! 'that it was itnposSible 'for. them, to:Make Up'. ch`eir, 9;totaunder the pr'sent.llll . l . . This shAwed. the ill. justice of the measure;, as it pressed eTally upon allj . alike, without any regped vious services or,.eNcrtion. -He a d m i tte d that it, .was necessary to increase our Disposable Force, :but was the present the best mode of doing - it 1 We had at present, a larger 'Force for deferisive e purposes than we ever had before, and a Force in tliat respett amply sufficient . : but did the present meiisure . give u s t h e means of- increa s ing, out ,Disposable i -steorceein that degre e , w hi c h t h e present situation -ofl Europe rendered necessarY i - and- to that extent! which VVid required, to preserve 10 , us . thac „pm mantling position to which we were crititled?' He could re,t see that, this coirld be effetie by ',a mcil_ sure that could •. not operate. until ,Oetolser. 18os, whilst, in the mean time, and4ven at the' present moment, the Enemy.were at our gates: He thought on the. contrary, that the objett in - Viet's , would be Much- better accomplished by immediately al lowing the reduetiori of the Militia, Or, ::in other. words;; allowing - overplus above the number which they ,were intended to' , be reduced, to' volunteer into :the Line. This he considered to be a much better expedient than passing a, Bill,' the. purpose .of which was, to take' the chance of raising a certain number of men' within: a certain term,: with the hope that a strfficient number , of them would 'volunteer. into the Line.; With respeet toethe IVlilitia;• they 'might ad upon almoit a certainty that a large proportion . Of them would cuter into the Regular Army; but with e resped, to the present measure, if it was passed,. they..would,• have 'merely a contingent hope that a certain - number therti would, if raised,. enter in si,Milar manner.: The present Bill he considered as-wholly inadequate' to i o : "Prelposed.ply'pose. A:Noble Lord h a d . saidohat, there were. still fourteen thousand men iQ be - raised : 'to complete 'the complement of the Army of Re-. serve ; and yet the ..compulzory_reg,ulatiOn Bill was far behind thOse of that Measure which vi eras eXpresslpeo raise that description of force.. ' . ;\liosv then, when it w as acknowledged tiaf_the.Arriiy Of Reserve Bill had been exhausted' in its effect, were theyio expe'd that the, present measure would.. be proilotlive of Men? , It was much more probable thaK they:might-obtain an immediate supplyfrom the Militia; and in . soYing this, he wished to allude to a subjeCt which had-been before toucheitupon, nanee ly, enlisting men for limited service for - the Regular Army. There was a sort of 11L-rror atiached to the -idea of a man's enlisting for life -in the Regular, ' Army, which preCluded a great numberefrom enter.: 'ing into that description of service; but he was couvinced, that if the period of service was limited, a much larger proportion of men might be obtained, He considered the present as an inetheien: measure, inasmuch as it did not tend to raise a number of men promptly and immediately as they were wanted ; 'but nierely..held;otit a prospedive hope of i certain number being added to, ,our Disposable Force. It was in this view that he opposed it, considering that a large Disposable Firce,was absolutely neces, sary to enable this" Country to 'maintain 'thatcom manding situation which the present exigency Of affairs called for,. and 'to which she was entitied.--; Wltilst, as at the present moment, a . general rorpoi Seemed to pervade Europe, it became more peculiarly the objea of Country to preserve her elevated position,sabd he trusted no ore would dare to pro pose any 'measure 'which should have a eendency to remove; us from that commanding situation. Lord iIIELIILLE.—"' There ate some things, my Lord, which . I have heard, at which, I am much astonished. I must, however, first premise, that the present measure ought to be judged Ofactording to its own merits, and not as compared with measures suggested; which it js uncertain will ever be recei v.. ed.
