NIIIArAky PLAN.

General TA RIE FON, though he did not sec a
Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Windham) in his
place, wished to put a short question, which he
supposed could he answered by some other Minister.
It was to know, whether, according to the notice
given, the Military Plan, so long cxpeaed, would
be proposed on Monday next
Mr. Secretary FOX replied, that he did not
understand his Right Hon. Friend to have given
any regular notice for that day ; nor coulil lie
undet take to say, whether the sut•joa wonld then
be brought forward or not. If the Man were pre-
pared, however, he made no doubt that proper
notice would be given of it.
After some other business was disposed of—

General TA RLETON rose again, and was
re-
peatiug his question, when Mr. Windham entered
the House. The General seeing him ie his place,
then distinflly asked him, whether the plan would be
hi iiught forward on Monday ? He a<ked it, because
there were several gentlemen, living at a distance,
who would like to know the precise Jay, as they
meant to attend the discussion.

Mr. Secretary NVINDHAM replied. that he had
givt n no regular n 'tier of any such intention, but
that its citnong •Le Howe, it was his intention to
anticipate the tpestiou, by stating, that it tts ttuld
not be brought forward on that day. He did not
understand the ground of the vast impatience for
it, manifested on the other side of the House,
nor should he hurry it one day sooner on that ac-
count. lit knew of no such impatience in the pub-
lic, whatever means might have been taken to ex-
cite it; and he was satisfied, that the delay would be
attended with no inconvenience. He had therefitre

no other answer to give, than that when he was
prepared, he would tic a day for bringing it for-
ward.
Gen. TARLETON rejoined, that there was cer-
tainly a great impatience and anxiety with respect to
the fate of the Parish Bill, and also amongst the nu-
merous Volunteers of the coentry.
Mr. DILLON moved for an Account of the num-
ber of Parishes in Ireland ; and, also, the number
of Churches and Glebe•houses, with their distribu-
tion. from 1791, to the latest period.
Dr. DIJIGLNAN said, the motion was unneces-
sary, as there was a Paper to that effel already be-
fore the House.
After a slight conversation on the subjell—
The SPEAKER put an end both to that and the
motion, by stating, that the Paper already before
the Hons.. purporteci to be an account up to the
10th of July, laos.
