Institution was founded by Monsieur Le Marchand ;
some time after it mistimed the name of the Mi-
litary College, sod then the expense likely to at•
tend it was computed at 3,359!. With respect to
the surgeons, it was only accessary to look to the
alloy, and see the numbers they have to attend
there. The mound inference from this must be,
that either the one is neglected, or the other is too
well attended. He. therefore, conceived the
House would not perform their duty to the country
if they did not mite some reduction.
Lord PA LMERSTON said, the Honourable Geo.
(lessen seemed disposed so indulge is • few
jokes oar the subject. With respect to coilis,
lie had no objection to draw as many with him as
he pleased.—(A laagA.)—Howevrr, cm the sub-
ject of the reduction proposed he must be allowed
to d.ffer ; and surely the Honourable and Gallant
Gentleman (Colonel Device) having his
education at that College, must know that one or
two persons are not sufficient so attend to all.
Lord J. RussELL said, he could not allow the
question to go to a vote without expressing his
diaapprobatiou of the system of education pursued
at the Military College. He thought that brioging
up boys from so eat ly au age at the sound of a drum,
acid accustoming them to the sight of uniform, was
ouly tit fur a Military Government-01~1.-
01d however it might be justified in time of war,
he thought it by no means advisable in time of
peace. It appeared to him, that, up to the age of
13, there was a • education fit fur the other Korea.
Noll! that was not fit for the military. Young ateu
'mended fur the chinch or the bar were never in-
structed at that age in theology or law. He
saw no reason why there should be fOur professors
of the Fiend. language. There were' venous ocher
points so which he might allude, but be Mt it was
quite unnecessary.
Lord PALMERSTON said, the argument of the
Noble Lind seemed to hint quite extrserdisiary,
namely, that young men should be trained ep us
total constitutional ignorance. He thought th..t if
officers were not issotructed ill these ponds, all our
national valour would go for nothing. He_thought
the profession of a soldier was quite different hull
all others, for miles' • young man could be pre-
pared to jesm .his regiuseist at eighteen, when was
he expected to be fit ?
Mr. BIN NETT agreed with his Noble Friend (Lord
J. Russell), that die system of coercionand milttery
discipline that was pursued at that College was its-
consistent with the liberties of a free Constitution.
The College may do good in diffusing kuutvleillge,
but
he conceived it did considerable harm in en-
' forcing. u kind of settle military obithenek.l
quite incompatible with the civil inkitutions
of the country. He did not attach so much im-
portance to the advantages derived from tins
College as others seemed disposed to do. He could
time many that were much bele, edueated for the
army at home, both in the knowledge of languages,
aid the various branches of scienee requisite-
Itir the profession. The question for the House to
consider was, whether they should support set-it en
euortnous establishment ? The plan that should
t be adopted was, us let those have the alumina-tuns
who 'reit best qualified for them.
Colonel WOOD said the objection of the HoL
Gentleman (Mr. Bennett) could not avails as mu}
of the persons educated at that College fould not
be educated at home, not having any parents.
They were the orphan children of brave men who
had fallen gloriously ill battle in defence of their
country.—(Hear.)—With respect to the education
best for a young officer, he held in his hood
the opinion of General Wolfe, an opinion that
all would feel disposed to treat with respect.
The Honourable Gentleman then reed 1111 extract,
which stated, " Your brother, no doubt, is ac-
quainted with the Latin sad French lauguages,
and mathematics. Without this hest, he can never
become acquainted with a most important branch
of our profession—fortification, or the attack and
defence of places. In these times of scarcity and
public danger, if young men don't follow your
brother's example, oath acquire that tutu for com-
mand, by making themselves fit fur that important
trust, we must sink before the superior abilities
and indefatigable industry of our restless neigh-
bours."
Captain O'GRADY mid he had on a former oc-
casion expressed an opinion with respect to the rid-
ing-school at Pimlico, not because he bad any ob..
jectiosi to learning so ride, but that this ins
tints was itiallequate to the effects intended to be
produced. It surprised him that this establish-
ment should have had such a miraculous escape
from she sciutiuixing inquiries of the lion. Gentle.

Mr. Hume thought the military services of the

Mr. BENNETT wished to know why Inverness

merly have been necessary to bridle the High-

At Hull, too, there was a large military establish-
ment, but no troops, and at Stirling Also. What
had Stirling dune that it should cost air country

On the revolution for grantiug 113,4461. 17a. &I.
fur full pry of retired and uraittaelted oHicen—

Mr. liens rose and objec:ed that the country
had been put to great r :prim by the formation of
the veteran corps, which, although it was know.,
they were wily to be kept up for a short lime,
officers had been taken from the army, many of
whom had served three, four, arid six years only,
and by being transferred to the veteran corps fur a
Ikw mouths, because entitled to full pay. The
eicpense which had beets thus uuhecessarily in-
curred be computed at 13,8701. sad he should
therefore move to deduct that sum from the origis
mil proposition.
Lord Petmeastron said, that although dieters
from the veteran corps retired ou their fell pay,
they had a countervailiug disadvantage in being
incapabk of hily further promotion. He begged
also to übseive, that length of service was net the
criterion or selection. bat those were chosen who
had some infirmity from wminds, or from severity
of climate, and also that many of them, though
thiey might have servid only a short period as COMM
atieripnetl officers, bed been promoted for good he-
, haviour as non-commissioned officers. sad bad sav-
ed in the latter capacity for many years.
Mr. Mee said, after the explanatiew of the
Noble Lord he should not
_press .his objections.
After a few words from Mr. BINNITT the ROG-
lalluis was agreed to.
On the Resolution for granting 1210151. for
malt-pry sad reduced allowances to officers of dis-
banded foreign corps. and for pensions to widows
of deceased foreign ufficere—•
Mr. Heise rose and said, he should make no
obeervatiou on foreign officers receiving half-pay,
but surely it never could have been in she contem-
plation of the Legislature that they shoeid be its a
better situation than lEtiglish officers, and yet that
were the case, as the English officer, if abroad, would
have to psy agency on negociating a bill for has hell:
pay, whilst the foreigir officer in similar circum-
burner, had that charge defrayed for bias by the
public, although the agency had never been named
in the estimates. He contended that all the duty
for which an individual last year received 3,1001.,
might have been performed by two clerks in the
Noble Lord's Office at an expense of only 2804
a year. He should therefore move a reduction of
3,0201., being the per ceutsge on MAUL at
2 per cent.
Lord Peueserroe said, that by the arrange-
ments made the British officer could receive his
half-pay tree of expense, either in London or the
country, and it was only placing the foreign officer,
whose natural residence was abroad, on the same
footing which in equity he was entitled to.
Colonel DAVIES said, he had bent informed.that
foreign officers receiving our half-pay were also re-
ceiving full pay in foreign services. He presumed
the regulating was the some for them as for the
Bughsli officer, who would be dismissed from the
army i fhe entered the service of a foreign government.
He had been informed of a FteUell officer who re.
erived our half-pay,
,and at the sense time was its
full pay from the French Government. The Duke
de Guiche was also on our half-pay list, though lie
held a high commission its the French service.
Lord PALMERSTON said, there was an exception
in fervour of the officers of the German Legion, but
to all others the same rule applied as to our own
officer., and they could not take eersice with other
Poweis without epeeist pecinission. He hod received
an anonymous counnunicotion respecting French
officers who received our half.pay cm full-limy
under the French Goreri ' nneet and be had in

nu foundation fur the charge. The Duke De

intended for the children of soldiers who had fallen
in battle. He wished to know if it war the inten-
tion to keep up the number of children to 1,200
in future ?
Lord PALMERSTON said, that the admissions
would be confined to orphans, or such as lust one
parent, that being the bother.
Mr. [footloose objected to keeping up this end
of Itlemeluke establishment entirely dependant on
the Government.
Lord PALMERSTON said, that the children were
brought up without any condition of entering the
army; bet were bound out to trades, if they chose
it.—The resolution was then agreed to.
Lord PALMERSTON moved that the sum of
21,5611. I Is. Id. be granted for superannuations itt
civil nth es of the Government.
Colonel DAUBS moved • redaction of 2,328/.
and coinplanied that the Act of George 111. for
hushing the proportions of aupeoamastatiosaa to
salaries, was repeatedly infringed in the allowances
now proposed.
Lord PALMIUNTON said, that in all such cases
there were allowances for abolition of offices, sad
not for retirement.
Colonel DATIRS said, it was not to be endured
that officers who had shed their blood, and spent
their best days in the ►ervice, and attained the rank
of General Officers, should be deprived of the
half-pay suited to their rank, unless they happened
to come within a certain number from the head of
the lust, while such large allowances were mode to
others who had performed little or ins service.
Mr. Hone said, he had moved some time hack
for a list of all persons holding two ur more offices,
or pensions, which had not yet been laid on the table.
As they were thus left in the dark, and the hour
being stow so late, he should move, as an amend-
meet, that the Ch•irmau report progress, and ask
leave to sit again.
Mr. J. Sum( wished to oak the Noble Lord,
whether the retired allowances and superannuatiou
pensions were continued to persons who were after-
wards appointed to other offices or situations? He
understood it was so, sod thought it a gross abuse.
One case of the kind to which be alluded, wps
that of Sir Ralph Woodforde, who had • retired
pension, and now enjoyed one of the most valu-
able colonial appointments in the gift of the
Crown, that of Governor of Trinidad.

Lord PALYEILSTON replied across the table in
so tow • tone, we could not collect his answer.
Mr. H. G. Balton begged the Noble Lord
to consider whether it would not be better that the
Chairman should now report progress, es they had
been eight hours in the House, and a rest deal
yet remained to get through.
Lord PALNIIRSTON assented, and moved that
the Chairman report progress and ask leave to sit
again, and that to-morrow • Report be made to
the House of the Resolutions already agreed to.
The SPEAKER then resumed thrC hair and the,
Chairman of the Committee made his Report ac-
cordingly.
On the motion of the CIIANCELLOAL of the Ex-
CREQUZI, leave was given to bring in a Ball us
worm] the Act for building New Ctiurelies.
Mr. MIMI gave notice that he should move

TUESDAY, MAT I, nisi.

Part; Papers of Friday last have arrived at our
°See. Commercial letters received in Paris an-
nounce the arrival of the advanced guard of the
Russian army at Presburg, the capital of Hun-
gary, on the 19th of last roootb. This army
amounts, it is said, to 100,000 men. We yesterday
remarked that while a writer in an Augsburg Paper
affirmed that this army was intended, in pursuance
of a Convention recently concluded at Leybach,
to occupy Italy its conjunctioa with es army of
Austrians, another vaaeoor destieed it to act is a
cordon of observation upon the frontiers of the
Turkish provinces. The old story is begianiug
to be again revived about an intended attack
upon Spain, and • belief is entertained that
this Russian army will be employed for ef-
fecting a counter-revolution iii the Spanish Pe-
unison'. That such an outrage as this last men-
tioned would be perfectly consonant with the
principles and wishes of the Allied Sovereigns,
we readily believe, but we are equally well per-
ausded that they dare not venture to perpetrate it.
They cannot welch their forces through France,
she Government of that country has already
declared to the world that it will not suffer its
terruories to be made the inertia or instru-
ment of subjecting any one State to the inter-
ference of others with regard to its domestic
concerns; and there is too great • probability of
danger to the existing dyuasty of France should
the Government forget this solemn eugagement,
and wantonly lend itself to a project for violating
the national rights.of the Spaniards. A plan for
handing Spain by .sea would be perhaps more
practicable; but still we should think that the
difficulty of providing transport fur the imissense
armies which would be necessary for so perilous an
enterprise, and the want of • moral force sufficient
to secure not only a safe passage for the transport-
vessels to Spam, but oleo to .5140 rd, them us the

Bet debased though the moral qualities of the two-

that the levy of the moue), was the only object of
this visit, and that the advance of the army under
the new Hospodar was merely thrown into the ac-
count, as affording a pretence mad a matens for ef-
fecting this object with more certainty and expedi-

was attacked by the Greeks, his troops defeated,
sod himself taken prisoner, but the rumour wants
confirmation.

It would seem that aosossgtbe Greeks go-general
plan of operations has been as yet adopted ; the
Chiefs of the several bodies of men in ernes set in-
dependently each of the other, and no authority is
as yet conferred upon any person or persons to di-
rect the energies of the whole to the general good.
Prince YPSILANTI has etAleavoured to induce the
other Chiefs to acknowledge him as Geaesslissinto
of the Greek armies, but jealousy or personsl am-
bition prevents them from seceding to his proposal.
The want of s recognised head must operate to the
disadvantage of the Greeks, and will, perhaps, by
causing divisions in their body, enable the Turks
to wrest from them eventually the fruits of their
early enterprise or valour.
