NFIV bIITTIN V PILL.
The Order for the Otani feeding of this Bill Leiorg
read ;
Lord HAWKESBURT kite, aAd in a spseeh of
some length, introduced' an amendment. wt?kb he
intended to propose upon this stage of the BilL—
[Our limits restrift us to a very brief sketch, not
only of his Lordship's speech, but of the subsequent
business of the night.] He believed it would be
genrrAily Admittea, that as large a disposable force
as could be pr.icured, in this country, was desir-
able, particularly in the present state of Europe.
The great question, he thought, stns, whether by
the present measure, the Amy was hkelf to b.*
materially increased or not ? lu his mind, 99 mers
out of a 100 would as readily enlist on the old
terms, as on those now proposed, especially when
he cons:J:red what class and description of men it
was likely could be produced for the service in
question. The Amendment which he st as About
to propose was, that instead of the term of years
proposed fur the first ettlisrment by the B. 11„
the term of twenty years sholisd be sab.f.tuted.
By the operation of this, soldiers would hare an
opportunity of retiring from the service, sar,posing
them generally to have enl:s:ea from sir:seri to
twenty yi an of age. His Lotus:4 entered into a
variety of cakulattons, to spew the iroperiority,,with
respe& to the teal benefit of thz military severe of
the country. cf the plan proposed by him, and re-
ferred to the prasriee at lung en:attestors genera.!?
adopted throughout hurope, ar.d by Austria in
particular. Unties these Itnpre•sins, and.c.ie-
ceiving the measure, ;r: its present *hare as lik•ir

Intentioned in the Bill. as the first enlistment, lie
omitted, in order that the word " twenty" be sub-
stituted in its room.
TbeIiorioiLAITDERDALR. isaspeech of some
length, opposed the amendment. which, in the first
instant,, he ceinter44,ll, was as objellionahle, ac-
cording toes: argieberits of Noble Lords opposite,
ern the letnands ef its infringing the Royal Prero-
gative. The real questien at issue was, which of
the twe plaits afforded the greater temptation to in-
dividuals to enter into the Military service ? and he
thenght after what was repeatedly advanced in at--
gement by Noble Lords at his side on a former
bight - and, indeed, (tom the ee'ent tendeecy of
Ise different el
arteme. little of real doubt could ob-
Win as to the question. This seemed even to be
the opinion of the Administration, cf which the
Noble lewd laradyjerenseel a part; as, with respell to
the marines, a •Cteeps of the greatest importance,
appeared, en order had !wen issued from the
tit
e Boast.' of Admiralty, dated the 3d of February,
enlist for limited service; and this experiment.
Ps far as it went, proved cnr.siderably proAtetive,
M at...peered be the accounts of an officer of high
in that Corps, to whom the Noble Earl re.
raryed
After this, he deemed it rather extraordi.
the Noble Lord should contend against the
principle of limited service; there was not the
**lithe
ground to suppose the measure would not
**lithe tame beneficial effea, generally, through-
but the service. He, therefore, for one, felt it his
gty to resist the Amendment proposed by the
"Table I,erd.
Lord HA WEESRURY, in explanation, observ-
ed, that with reaped to such an order issuing
from the Beard of Admiralty, as the Noble Earl di,-
Scribed, he had never heard of it. The period was
said by him to be the 3d of February, which was
but two days before he had resigned the seals of
lectecary of State ieto the hands of His Majesty.
• The Earl of SUFFOLK argued against the
sdeption of the Amendment. It had been objected
to ibis measure under consideration, that it was pin.
posed to be peemanent. That, with him, was an
begembeat in its favour ; he hoped it was meant
tee part if a weit.regulated system: a charaeter
"hie's, in either point of view, did not belong to
the crude and temporary measures of the late Ael-
rethaistratiee.
lbe Bail of WESTMORLAND, in a speech
of some length. supported the amendment pro-
psed be his Noble Friend; in the course of which
'he went over a great deal of the line of ar-
.riasent he bad adopted on a former night. He
still contended the Bill, in its present shape, in-
terlocked on the Beret Prerogative ; and seemed

kiessoimoat.
the qoestion which bad been previously called
for, was then put, when Lord Hawkesbury's
Ame:dment was negatived without a division;
the Bill read a Sd time and passed; and a mes-
sage sent to acquaint the Commons therewith.
CHELSEA ALLOWANCE JILL.
• The House having resolved into a Committee on
this BBL a conversation of some length, and rather
of a desultory nature, arose, in which the Earls of
We•tmorland. lloaslya. Moira, Lauderdale, and
Carnareen, and Lords Grenville, Eldon, and
Hasrkeshury, were the Speakers.
• At length. Lord GRENVILLE reminded the
Cemmiltre, that the question before their Lordships
was. el-ether ;he consideration of the Preamble of
the Bill be now postponed
This being carried in the affirmative, the Clauses
of the Bill were ag:eed to by the Committee, and
the Bill was reported wittiest amendment.
A short convert cation took place in an under tone
of voice, between Lords Grenville, Walsingham,
and the Chancellor, partly across the table, relative,
as we could colleCt, to a question of privilege stett-
ed on a termer night, in consequence of which the
sera-gets had been diteCted to withdraw.
'1 he LORD CHANCKLLOII alluded Sr the
groiinds upon which he was inclined to postpone
the discussiro of the above, and observed, that the
Commons had no more constitutional right to arrest
.....
or to entoree tetweertendener et-a Peer of Ile Realm
• (alluding to a former vote of t'..at House, which
included Lord Teiptnouth), than they had that
of a Lord of Parliament; at the same time his
lordship observed,• there appeared no proof to him,
that that House meant to aft in such a way.
Some routine business was then disposed of, and
at half past S ilielt.ek their Lordships adjourned till
to-morrow . when they stand summoned on Lord
Creneille's intended propositions tespeCting the ad-
ministration of justice in Scotland.

INDIA AFFAIRS.
Mr. WALLACE, in order to vindicate the late
Beard of Controul, from the charge of wilfuliy
withholding Papers, which would be necessary
the articles exhibited against the Marquis Wellesley,
moved that these " be laid before the House so much
of the Papers respecting the °tide charge, as re-
lated to the private chars to of the Nabob."
Lord MORPETH said, he retained the same
cbjeCtions to this motion now, which he urged
against it on a former occasion.
Mr. PAUL said, he should not object to them,
but thrught it very extraordinary that they should
now be moved (or by a Member of the same
Board, which withheld them, as being State se-
crets, twelve months ago. They would exhibit the
Nabob's private charaaer in an unfavourable point
of view, and shew that line of conduct to which
he was driven only by injuries, oppression, and
injustice.
Mr A. WELLESLEY said, that though the
papers would be favourable to the cause of his Noble
itelatior, he must objeft to them, as tending to injure
the charafter of a Prince, with whom we are now
in amity, in the eyes of his own subjen,
Mr. PAUL said, that in the Papers presented
by the late Board, there were a Lumber of ma-
terial paragraphs omitted, which were totally un-
connefted with the private charaCter of the Nabob.
Mr. HOLFORD contended, that the paragraphs
alluded to, were, in substances contained in the
Papers produced ; but of that the House weuld
judge, when the whole should be before them.
Mr. Calvert, Mr. Alexander, Sir R. Buxton, and
Mr. Rose, were against the ratio:lion of the Pa-
pers ; and after the strangers were several times or-
dered to withdraw preparatory to a division, Mr.
WALLACEssid, he would consent to withdr rw hit
motion, upon the undetstanding. that the 1-I,ruse
was perfeftly convinced, that no blame attached to
the late Board of Controul.

The SECRETARY at WAR, pursuant to order,
Presented a copy of His Majesty's instruttions to
tl4 Conamissiouers of Chelsea Hospital, in regard
to the treatment of the Out•pensioncrs.—Ordered
to lie on 'the table.
The Irish Mine Bill was read a second time, and
committed for to-morrow.
CHARGE AGAINST MARQUIS VFELLESLET.
Mr. PAUL, seeing a Noble Earl (Temple) in
his place, wished to observe, that the order made far
Thursday next related to the Ferrukabad charge,
and that of which he gave notice for tomorrow
was the Oude charge. His intention was to go into
evidence to-morrow, if that course should be al-
lowed, and was desirous of knowing the Noble
Earl's intention ?
Earl TEMPLF. replied, that he was very glad
to afford the Hon. Gentleman the satisfaction he
wanted. His object in making the motion, was
to prevent a long time from elapsing, after the
charge was laid upon the table, before the House
came to a question on it ; but he had also stated, at
the same time, that if the Hon. Member had any
motion to make upon the subjeet, he would be wil-
ling to give way. If he should propose to-morrow
to go into evidence, his object would be answered, as
that would be taking the charge into consideration.
SLAVF. TRADE.
Earl Temple presented a Petition from the
Planters of the Island of Jamaica, against the Bill
for prohibiting any more vessels being employed this
year in the Slave Trade, than what had already
sailed, and prayed to be heard by themselves or
Counsel, on the second reading of the Bill.
The Petition was ordered to lie on the table ; but,
on the suggestion of Mr. FOX, the hearing of
Counsel was deferred to a future day.
Earl Temple presented, also, a Petition from
Mr. Pusey Lyer, and other Agents; and Mr. Rose
another, from the Ship-Owners of London, to the
same effel, which were similarly disposed of.
Mr. FOX then moved the second reading of
the Bill, whicia was done without producing/ any
conversation, and ordered to be commffted on
Thursday next.
On the motion of Earl TEMPLE, the Thread
Lace Bill was ordered to be re-committed to-
morrow.

IRISH POST ROADS.
Mr. Alexander brought up the Report of the
Irish Post Roads Bill.
Mr. CARR ohjefled to that part• of the Bill
which subjeded baronies to the payment of the ex-
pences of those roads, which, in some places, ran
• a great way into them, and ought to be at the
Jsarge of the counties at large. It was, he said,
his intention to propose a clause to the effeet of
what he ritenfithied.
Flie SPEAKER informed him, that he would,
in another stage, have an opportunity of doing so.
Mr. FOSTER observed, that the Hon. Mem-
her's clause had been refused in the Committee,
last night, and supposed the same reasons would be
sufficient for its rii,Clion now. The best way, in
his opinion, would be, not to put the Grand Juries
fiedzr any restrietions, but leave to them the ills-
rretion, wiiether a part of the elpence should be
paid by the baronie.., or the whale defrayed by the
counties at large; as, in that respell, many parts of
Ireland were very differently situated.
Mr. STEWAR L. concurred in this opinion; and
the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-
morrow.
Mr. Ilan-thorn bought up :he Report of the
