burl Militia, he was still of the acme opinion he
had always eutertained. lle had thought, and de-
clar&l, that it would be expensive, that it would
be injurious to the ugritulture of the country, and
the morals of the people. He was laughed at then ;
but canveyts were now beginning to tome round

year amounted to one million, and this year appli.
cation was made for 600,0001. lie would ask. whe-
ther they were called out the last year, whether
all the money was spent or not, and whether they
would be all called out this ye-or and clothed? No
man could go into the field clothed and trimmed
usages eighteeu pounds odd shillings; now he would
wish to be auswered the above questions before he
grouted the present coin ; if they were all to be
called out and clothed, he was sure the sum would
hut do. He admitted, that if the country Gentle-
men took care, it might be made au effective force,
but much rein:tined to be door this year which was
left undone, the last. As to the Waggon Trains
they were e:tber good or had; if the were good, they
ought to be continued; if they were bad, they ought
not ; so that the middle course which was adopted
by the Right lion. Gentleman opposite, was wrong
in either case. The Staff was too great; upon that
alone, if they had no other ground, they ought to
delay the vote. , The Medical Board was now ex-
posed in all its nakeiluesa, and sloe extinct ; but
where, he would ask, was the new Medical Board
better ? In the lion !.lace, why wee their pry in-
creased? It was said. ',Kelm's: they were not per-
mined to practise; but if it appeared that they
were too old, or too unknowir, to have any prac-
tice, why should they have • any erintiteinottiun?
The bead of it was Doctor Weyer, who wits exa-
mined, in 1761, for the situation of a surgeon's
mate; the next was Doctor Carr, who took his de-
gree in 1776. There was another, who had retired
to the country, having no practice in town ; and it
*as singular, that each of these Gentlemen came
from the north of the Tweed. He did not amok
it enough that the old Medical Board should be
dismissed. He regretted the absence of a Right
lion. Gentleman, who often spoke upon military
matters (Mr. Yorke) who lied gone out to secure
a snug sinecure. He quoted a pomplil:4, signed
by Mr. Huskisson, which, he said, was an mower
to his own speech of a former night. He iliswprov-
ed highly of the promise of the immense saving hy
his Hon. Friend (Mr. Wardle) which was talculeted
to bring all economy into di.repute, that was cot
agreeable to those enthusiastic not dins. The great-
est loss that Ministers had sustained, was the Right
Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Illukkisson), who recom-
mended economy with such force. What, he
asked. would be said in the Moniker, on seeing a
speech of such authority, followed by the lavish
grant %lin+ they were called upon to accede to Ns-
He protested against that doctrine which went to
represent war as eternel bstween this country and
France. He had always contended for peace, rod
wished we should keep ourselves in a situation not
to be obliged to seek it on our knees. He wished
them to retrench, to arm themselves et every point,
but not bleed at every pore. He wished for peace.
upon the condition that we could make it respect-
ably. And he would recommend to Mini.ters to
take the advice of a p,.rson to whom they had en-
trusted the suenagenient sd the . finance., when
they undertook the conduct of affairs. Upon'alf
these grounds, he would vote that the Army Esti-
mate* should be deferred to that day fortnight.

Lord CASTLIMPAGII observed, that after the Medical
Board had bean complained of by the troops, last year, is
arms, he thought it tweet...my that ma investigation aboald
take place, which was sccurdingly done by a Board of la-
garry, formed of Grin rod *firers, General Fox as their Pre.
indent. They returned a swat volansnions report, which
gave as opinion, that the Department had been must ably
filled. Fie then took a review of the Recruiting Service,
and contended, that it was more than sufficient to supply
the losses of the army in the antecedent year.
Mr W t spoke in explanation, and said he
thought it his duty to move, That they should be referred
to a Select Committee."

it was unwise to vote estimates fur the p►eseut year,

for the expeaditure of the last year; particularly whcii
they were, in the eyes of every competent man, inetti-

Sir dome NEwneRT contended that the t 'innate for the

but at all events mum than sullicwnt ; fur which reason,
he wished the estimates should he referred to a Select
