RE P7AI.. OF ADDITIONAL FORCE ACT.
Mr. Secretary Mo aNiara,s.iii moved the third
treading of the Bill fur die Repeal of the Addi-
tional Force Act.
SirJ. PULTENEY complained that the Hon.
Members who brought forward this Repeal Bill,
bad assigned no reasons fear doing away as Aft,
of the operation 0: which in future, he had a very
favourable opinion, were a suffered to cnotioue, nor
had they suhcriturecl any other military measure in
its stead. He could not, therelore, suffer the Bill

to be read a third time, without repeating his ob.
jeftious to it. He read an tette& from a French
Ordinance, made in 178 t. which shewed, that th•
enlistments in the French army were always for
rs 0414 years, and that no discharge would be given
in time of war ; but that such mot, whose terms of
service were expired, should be entitled to certain
monthly allowances, in proportion to the bounty
money they originally received. if the Right Ho*.
Gentleman's system of enlisting for limited service
was mire adopted, let such men as those to enter *
for five or seven years do so, but he win led the pre-
sent army to continue to go on rertuitieg as before.
and that those who were still disposed, to enlist for
general service, might have the option of doing so ;
tont he strongly protested against any man's being
allowed his disharge in time of war.
• General LOFTUS said, he was not present whew.
the measure was first introduced, and would there-
fore confine himself to that part of it which was
then before the Heine, as he wished to make a few
observations, having voted for the Act now to
be repealed, and which, he thought, had the
parishes acted locally, and been active, might have
enceeeded. They had, however. molted too mulch
to crimps, instead of parish officers, and he knew an
, instance in toe City of London, where fourteen out of
sixteen men, who had enlisted, and received the high
bounties one day, deserted the next, to play the same
game, he doubted not. some where else. T:1;$ was
with him a very strong reason for repealing the 1111.
It was to high bounties, and not to the parish officers,
they were indebted for all the men that had been
procured under that Aet, and he was fca-ful his
