lesads of all the Captains, all the tVlakjoris, and, for I
aught he knew, would soon be placed over the
heads of all the Colonels iu the army. He asked,
whether it could be supposed. when the Nellie
Lord's (Castlereagh) speech went forth to the
world, that it would he at all palatable to other
British officers? mud concluded with deelaring.that
the motion had his hearty concurrence.
Lord CASTIASSAUP esplained.
Lord NawaLK said, that although he was in the
habit of votilig with Ilia Majesty's Ministers. yet
this appoiruissent seemed so extraordinary an
instance of favour, that lie should vote for the [no- •
tion.
Lord Heat, Perry said, he should not have dess
livered his sentiments on the presentquestiou, had
it not been for the sentiment, delivered by the
Noble lord, that he thought it his duty, when per-
sons of rank nod finally entered the army, to do all
in his power for obtaining them promotion without
purchase. Persons of that rank ought not to
he encouraged by such spilt:ions, in contradiction
to public opinions, and to the injury of the army
in general. Were such A • principle acted upon,
it would drive those mill wit of ' the country,
to whom we should look with the greatest con-
fidence and he thought it his duty to repro-
bate such a dangerous principle, which was nolo',
tunatelft too much evemplitied in the present cast:.
Sir . BASLE/ BUSIIIELL admitted the King's
prerogative in the right of-rrosuotion, but thought
the opirsioo of the Noble Lord (Cestlereugh) erro-
neous, whets he said the !louse had no right is in-
terfere. The present case was one of the most
flagrant injustice, in putting a young Wall over old
Otfieere: lie was willing to allow full merit to the
young la question, but contended he• had
,•.00e no more Mau it was the duty of every Officer
to do.
Mr. Peaces's'. said, that the Hnn. Baronet had
niistskeu the Noble Lord upon the. (oration of
prerogative. Although the Noble Lord had argued
st gly against improper Interference with the pre-
rogative of the Crown, lie had admitted the right
of the noose to interfere. The only question for
the consideration of the House was, whether this
wt. a proper cube to interfere in ? It rested entirely
upon the promise previously made, and he would
appeal to those Hort. Members most in opposition
to Ills Majesty's Ministers, whether it promise so
made should lie brOken ? The appointment was
delayod till the six years' service was completed.
(Ilear I hear !) Yes, completed ; for, however it
have appeared in The Gazette. still he knew
that the commissiou wail dated the 15th of March ;
, he therefore maintainer' that it was inconsistent
with honour, that is promise so musk should be
broken in consequence of a subsequent order.
After • few words in explanation from Sir C.
the House divided, whets there ap-

will be recollected, that a Loan lies been already
voted for the service of Ireland, to be raised in
Great-Britain, to the amount of three millions
British, br about three Millions and a quarter
Irish ; together with one million and a quarter to

one half of the present year, I shall only take it et
