tse min:anion, nor to defend unlimited bountyunli -o.
mited bounty that was a premium on desertion,
in preference to limited service that was an induce-
ment to enlist. When they passed the Army of
Reserve Act, the Noble Lot d then thought limited
service was an inducement, and yet he says now
that a man of +0 could have no inducement to en-
Itst for the seven years to complete the service of
twenty-one years, which would einitl2 him to the
rewords held out by the plan. The Noble Lord
had talked of the plan being likely to introdu..e dis-
content in the navy ; hut limited service had been
tried from 1774 to 1779, and there Was no appt•ar-
ance of discontent either in the at my or the navy.
The condition of the seamen is much bettered now
to whim it was then ; th-y have since received a con-
siderable addition to noir pay ; several regulations
have been made in their favour, and yet according
to the Noble Lord's argument, the better their
condition the more likely they are to become discoth
tented. The circumstance of giving the 600,0001.
is to benome a mile& of discontent. When you Q
the soldier an interest in the civil rights of the sub-
j,a_when, at the end of seven years, he becomes
bettered in his situation—when once you give an
English soldier all those benefits, according to the
Noble Lord's argument, he is to become dicontented
end the recruiting of the army will suffer by it : ac-
cording to that, the satellites, and nut the soldiers,
wou'd be the fittest persons to defend the country—.
according to that, the maxim of the heroes of old,
among our brave and hardy ancestors, who stimu-
lated Their men to fight n pro cords et ois," could
now have the r& of making them run away.—
Instead of Englishmen, you should have an army
of Persians, or Mamelukes. Look at the situation
of the Roman soldier—with thern the tith class
would net serve, because they had no inter: st iu
the comely. Would the Noble Lord say, the Ro-
mans did not understand the art of war—so long as
the soldier was allowed a property and stake in the
country, their armies were every where successful
and conquerors; but when they came to the Piz-
tonao bands, enlisted for sixteen years, their army
was soon afterwards ruined. Such an army soon
became too strong for the law, and too weak for
the enemy—and it is somewhere said, terrible to
their fellow citizens. The opposing army of France,
he said, was composed of the flower of the country,
and it was necessary that we should also have the
flower of our country to contend with them; this
could not be done but by bettering the condition of
the soldier, and by obtaining a superior class of
men to enter into that profession; for it would never
do to oppose the flower of the French with the re-
fuge of the English. There was, however, one
advantage in favour of our army, the spirit
which er-a diffused through the ranks was
the result of a free Constitution ; the public
* miod matched along with them, iniused a heroism
which no King of Prussia, no German, could ins.
Fort, but which was solely attached to the benefits
of the Constitution. The Right Hon. Gent. in the
present plan, wished to mertialise the English ni-
non, and to make the whole people soldiers, in a
eerain degree, and from such a mode of proceeding
the most eminent advantage might be expetted if
• ole army bould be defeated, there would be
another to take its place, and then a third—so that
after repeated rickets, vinlory would at length take
place; like the Romans uti•r the Eibian General
en the Visean ; and, if the Right Honour-
sls'e Gentlose to count get an arms, and a fill-
&tatty potpie at the 'Ail e time, he would render
s this cow tty invincible, there was another con-
s.deration he b gged leave to nress on the Com-
mittee, la the present situation of the country,
and of Europe, we must become either a military
government, or a military people, We have an
army of 257,000 mzn ; we have besides a Militia,
and we have Volunteers; and if you give a Kin
such an a'my one,/ trouler!, you make Ira] arba
trary, y. u lose your constote ; and he thought,
therefore, the Right Honourable Gentleman was
peileetly right in endeavouring to train the whole
people to the use of arms. The Noble Lord had
awd this plan was an infringement of the preroga-
tive, and that Porliam-rat should net interfere with
the service of tae army. What, he asked, were the
articles of war but a creation of Parliament ?
What wax mantel law, but a creation of Patha.
went i—The troops of the line were, he said, a
Parliamentary army ; and if any King, or any
Minister, was to advise any King to raise or
make an army independent of Parliament, it
would be the most 'unconstitutional measure that

ever was resorted to ; and the doctrine that
the Army was the crea:ure et the Crown, and
not of the Parliament, was highly unco stitutional.
Whatever military plan may be adopted, it will Eit•
of no avail, unless the public mind goes along with
it. The people of th:s country should be adverse
to Frar.ce, and not to one another. He was sur-
prisi-d hear the Noble 1.-rd talk of the sea-
rs n being jealous; there could, he thought, be
no just ground hot any fear of the kind; and every
man leUr•l re be very cautious how he gave way to
such pure objeaions should all secs:llea the
danger of our present situation. We should re-
also, that the 5.0110 difficulties with which
we ate at present suirounded, both America and
France had, in the outset, to struggle with. And
how did they get over Oem? By a firm and steady
reeoluti. n not to be overcome by the m, and by a
persevessince ;n those wise and salutary measures
which 'hey adopted, and never lost sight of, till
that &sneers were at an end, and their diffieultiee
had V4ll shed. To a country situated as this is, at
the tmesent moment, the growest exertions ate ne-
cessary. Every nian will tale a pride in doMe his
duty ; and when that is the case, the genera) re-
Beetino %ill be, that there may be such a thing as
death, bat nn such thing as danger, when a nation
cheerfully sacrifices its wealth to the attainment of
a great and important object. For these seasons
the clans: shanld have his earnest support.
The MASTER of the BULLS thought the plan
might be totally unproduaive in print of raising
men, and yet may be incuinki-Leyd with all dant
urinous expence stated by his Noble Friend (Lord
Castlereagh.) Ifs was sorry to snd so fundarnertal '
a difference of opir.ion as prevailed as to this pLui ;
he she old be srry to threw any impediment in
the way of His .11Arsty's Ministers, but he con-
ceived they wore about to try a very dangerous
capes Weal, which perhaps they would is .t be Able NJ
ger rid eihetentter, if found not to succeed, Irstkout

a breach of faith. fle thought if any plan was to be
cart ied into efftn9 fur limited service, iteriught to be
done by the prerogative of the Crown alone. Sol-
diets ought to look up to the King, and never to
Parliament ; and thereby, in case of necessity, they
would be able easier to revert to the ancient system.
You niay fi id at due end of 10 or 20 years, that
limited service iojures the saiiing and !retuning your
army; and then it may be said you'll repeal the Al
—but you can't well do so—you can't tell the army
that what WaS a boon then is not so noweeyou can't,
without committing a breach of faith, add,without
creating the protest discontent. He then took a
comprehensive view of the disadvantages that would
result.frorn it to the colonial service, by being of'
ten obliged to seed raw soldiers to Ml up the places
those discharged, who must be valuable from their
skill and discipline, and being inured to the climate.
He could not either seperate the meths of the plan
! (tom the expense attemiing the execution. As to
inducement of limited service, be did not know
a man should tolijed to enterinto the army for ley
life, more than to become a blacksmith or a shoe-
maker for life. He knew be must enter for life into
any profession, in order to get his bread by it, and
and why the army should be an exception to this
he saw no good reason ; there ought to be a very
strong necessity shewn before the House agreed to
hazard an expitrimett, pregnant with .$ much
peril. It would be as good to do nothing. aster do
that which would be inefficient; and it would be bet-
ter to do nothing, than to do what was inisolieVous.
He, therefore, a iahed that the Right Hon. Gentle.
man should withdraw his plan entirely, or that he
would return the power to the executive Govern-
ment, where it had hithetto resided. It he was
not willing t- do either of these. he thought he
slicehld make very considerable amendments in it,
which, perhaps, would induce hint to withdraw his
opposition to she entire ree.oure. He 'Lets con-
cluded by saying, that he would be surly the plan
of a Minister shualld be negatived ; btu, if some
alteration "as not made in that now bdore the
lion-e, he would v..ue dire-tit against it.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL was much dis-
appointed shoat his How ainsbie Priem,. who spoke
last but one in the debate, had not followed the
Noble Lord, who opened it. threash all hi. aictt-
lotions, as he was that the ennsiitetional arguments
of that Hon. Gentleman tad not hoen • yen enticed
by the Learned Gentleman who read just sat d:tivii.
For hit part, he could not see how the introtludion
of this Bill could be considered as an infaingeno-nt
on the prerogative. as it was the common Mwilly
Bill introduced every year, and which gave Hit
M csty the power of regulating the A-my for the
year. It had been given as a reason why toil should
be left entirely to the Crown, :hat as it *as a boon to
the army, the Piirliament should not interfer.; butt
if considered by Gentlemen at the other side of
the Howe as such is boor, how could it be
consistently maintained that ts.e measure was bad,
and would not be of service in raising men ? The
next point he had to consider was. with respell to
the policy of enlisting men t-r limited service ;
Gentlemen, at the other side of the House, had, in
his hearing, stated. that it was a most dangerous
doCtrine, and one entirely novel. But, certainly,
in stating this, they did not resell-athe jealous,-,

should be raised for a limited time. 'From thii be
argued that we should uow be, at all events, as jea-
lous of our liberties as our ancestors werethen, the

Militarlpespot, against whom we contended, being
so formidable. It was absolutely necessary, he
thought, that the people who fought oar utiles
should be thoroughly impressed with an idea of the
benefits for which they contended ; and this plan
he thought was particularly calculated to impress
that idea ; it would make every ;Allier a citizen.
and its object also was to make every citizen
a soldier. An objection had been made, that
• his mea.ire would be very esprntive, and an Hon.
Friend opposite him (Mr. Percival) had, on a for-
mer night, by adding the fourpeuces and bounties
together, ,made a calculation that the expense at
die end of the twenty-nue years would he for each
man 2501. when the expences, by the present mode,
would only be 16 guineas. His Learned Friend
having made this calculation without giving any
credit for the reward at present given to toldiert
who have grown old in the service. declared that
the Ministers had economy in their lips. but not in
their hearts. He. indeed, believed that the axon°.
my of the Ministets would never make its way to
the hearts of the Hon. Gentlemen, at the other side
of the House, and he only wished that they had
been in the House during the consideration of the
Tax Biil, which his Noble Friend was obliged to
introduce, to a,e him reclining on what was in

that no English ship alone ever captured a French
ship ; and much less a ship that had been three
years at sea, and whose crew was in the best state
of discipline. Of course it was with increased Si-
tisfAdion that the people were informed, that the

OlfUrt is very much displeased with the pos.
session nt Cattaro. So far from beginning a new
war with France, a part of the troops that were at
Corfu were ordered to the Black Sea, and sonic of

here, which had been much alarmed for their pro-
perty, are now tranquil. The Consul-General, La-

several conferences with our Minister for Foreign
