every possible degree of information, as to that part
of the plan intended to be brought forward by the
Right Hon. Gentleman opposite to him (Mr.
Windham). which related to I i.,a ed Service; and
as the chief argument in support of it, was-the in-
stance of the men who were enlisted fee limited ser-
vice during the Ametican war, he should move.
" That there be kid cairn the Beam an Account of the
Establishment of the Regular Array el Gime Britain, in tank

paper on the table op to 1790, which 'hewed that
enlisting for limited service, instead of decteasing,
had increased the army._ _ _

a number of men bad been raised within the last
three yearn as had ever been enlisted in any former
period.
