The Surrey Coal Admeasurement Bill Was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. The LondOn Dock Bill, on the MotiOn of Mr. IVIANNIN, was read a third tirrie, and ordered to the Lords. • INUSTMENT FOR TERM OF YEARS. Mr:YORKE, with a view to obtain a just esti mate of the probable,effea of recruiting for a term of years, wished the House to be in possession of the total amount of the Army in the American War, for the purpose of shewing what proportion the' men raised for limited service bore to the general amount. He therefore' moved, that there be laid before the House an Account of the Effe&ive Force of the Re gular Army on the British Establishment, rank and file, distinguishing those for limited and unlimited service,. and distinguishing Cavalry from Infantry, for ,each year, from 21st December, 1774, to 2.1 . st De cember, 1784, distinguishing each year. The SECRETARY at !VAR had no objeaion to the production of .these A.ccotints, 'Which, instead of a diminution, would shew a great increase, by the inlistment for term of years. Lord CASTLEREAGII conceived,. that if the average of the,years included in the Motion. - were taken, the numbers Obtained then for .term of years would not he found greater in' proportion than the numbers. obtained for serving - unlimited in time or place in a late instance:- The great effort for recruiting the Army by men raised fbr limited service, was after tlit; surrender of the British Force at Anatolia. The number that entered last year for" unlimited service were greater in proportion. The LORD ADVOCATE of SCOTLAND gave notice, that he would to-morrow move for leave to bring in a Bill to Increase the Salary of the .ludge of the Admiralty for Scotland, and for allowing a Compen sation to the Judges .of the Commissariat itrLdin burgh. Mr. ALEXANDER brought up the Report of the Committee of . Ways and Means, The Resolution. for Imposing a Duty on Foreign Chequered ,Linens; for the Proteaion of the Irish Manufadure, was agreed to, and a Bill ordered accordingly. On.the Motion of Lord PErry, the House went into a Committee of Ways and Means, in which the Noble Lord moved a Resolution fOr making the stock of Pig Iron on nand, Iron. Ballast, and Iron not manufaEtured into machinery, kubjea to the additional duty of 21. a ton. The Resolution was agreed. to, and the Report to be received to morrow. - MR. , WINDHAM's MILITARY.SYSTEM. Mr. WiNDHAM moved the Order of the Day for the second leading of the Bill for Repealing the Ad ditional Force " Sir" JAMES P ULTENEY, in nppbsing,tilis Bill, disclaimed any intention of opposing Hii MjeSty's Ministers; he was anxious, on the.thntrary, that "Ministers should always bring forward measffes to which . he, (.o.lld give his approbation. If he were Additional Force Aa which .'ere liable to objeaion, • but these might be correded.. The measures nouf proposed held out the promise ofgreater numbers of men to the service, but of a less useful description. In consequence of the system of inlisting Men, first for limited, afterwards for -general servite, 0,000 men of 37,000' raised under the Army of Reserve' Ad, had entered into the Line, and a still greater number ~would have entered ,if the standard estae blished for the Line had not prevented many.of those remaining iu •the Reserve Battalions from enter ing -into.it: • rip` 110 learned from the Officers tinder him,. that much greater •numlyers would have inlisted if Government had been willing to take 'men_ of an interior . size. It Was true that these Men cost a double. bounty ; but who would hesitate at that expcnce if 20 ,000 additional train ed men were to be had .by it., Nothing could be more 'fair than to engage men first for limited service, and then it they .did not like .a military life; to &IONA , - them to return is the' sitita tion, they would have left. Fre mo3i strongly of the idea of discharging men at the of ...ticiven years in time of war; It.was true seven General Officers of the thirteen censulte.d, were in favOur of inlistment, fur : term of years : but, their . opinions went merely to the. point of tivistriten.t. Ile.etas 'suns. that. if the _question: steere put to them with, the condition of discharge' in the middle of a War annexed to it, they would all have been in "the negative: Eleven Of the thirteen: hitch, in fad, already pronounced' against it, the _other • two had given no decided opinion. The Generals Who were tie adverse. to the discharge in time of 'War, were all of the most elevated' charader. die would only 'Mention -two • in particular, tlse late Lord Cornwallis and Lord Grey. ,The Bight Honour'- able Secretary Said, it was the praetiee of every - Nation in Europe to enlist its soldiers for a term of years. He believed it was not the prZtiee of anyou'e Nation. In the German dominions of His Majesty it was not the pradice ; and he should beglad to know if the 1 . 2 - ,000 Hanoverians now in the service of this Country were not engaged forlife ? He would wish to know in what Country, the engagement for limit ed service was.really in use. .It.was not the pra6tice in Austria.. In France the conscripts were obliged to serve during the War. Other Nation's had facilities of getting men that we had not. He believed everyOf .ficer would agree with him, that it was easy to to every man the degree of discipline necessary to enable him'to go through field manccuvres. But from the time When these ideas had been set afloat, a general discontent prevailed in the Army.' A discharge in time of War would be highly detrimental in a country where trade and manufactures were so flourishing, and wage", so high.. In such a country be allowed, that, at all times, the Army would .not be sufficiently attractive without the interference of political econo- . my to equalize the condition of the soldier with that of the otherclasses. But the great question on this point Was, if the condition of a soldier • was bad, why . 'should 'it be . ernbred at all. It was no trifle to embrace bad• condition for seven years. At the commencement of a War, great efforts were necessary' to raise. a sufficient number of men; but if those men, whose term of service would expire just 'at that critical 'period, were to be discharged without airy reference to the circumstances Of the tithes, the supply . would be always checked by the falling off; when 'men, whose steadiness .and courage . May be depended upon, and . who ~v ire seasoned to various climates, were lei loose, and in- experienced men taken in their room, much miss chief. must follow. One experienced soldier was - worth three recruits. In 'remote garrisons, the mischief of such a diScharge . would be particu larly felt. It was true, . We noW had the eMpire 'of the seas e but that may not always be. And even if this power were to be for:ever uncontested, it would riot be very agreeable duty for the seamen to bring Lome from 'distant settlements men Os .chargectafter tern of 'years, when they themselves were bound to serve tots life. He did not think it like ly,the men would re-enlist. The Army was exposed to - many hardships, and when the expiration of the term arrived, it was • probablethat those who were entitled to the next - accommodation in the way of di,charge., would consider these hardships, and withdraw. The efforts which Officers always made to retain the'men whose terms were near. expiring, were extremely hostile_ to discipline. He was al together sorry that an Ad proMising so well as the Act on thiS subjed last 'year had failed. The efforts male on this ssibiea - last year had relaxed the dis cipline of the Militia: At the approach of the ex piration of the period, the object was always to tie secure, of the re-engwement of the men in time, and the Officers made sacrifices with this view. }e C4 l )
