The kikti. of Lecaie called attention to Mt pfesent organisa-
'tion the infantry. It was necessary for the safety of the
`coratry that an efficient land forte should be mairfti.'ined as
*ell ac a large navy. Hitherto the fernier had teen somewhat
neglected in cOmpariaion with the latter. 'This ought not to
continue any longer, and he urged Cult a snore complete regi-
mental system should be substituted for, the present defective
°rl4ntsation; and that the incompleteness of toe nominal force
of the several regiments should be rectified. He sugges'.ed
thlt a setoncfbatillion should be appointed to c+;..ry real:tent,
and added other Suggestions for the improvement of thi3 actual
condition and construction of the army. •
Earl de GREY objected to the discussion of so, technical and
important a subject, in the present state of the House.
The-Nike of cialastinaa, after entering into a lengthened.
lit'fence of the present system, admitted that advantages might
result from the formation of a second batallion.
