the execution .of those measures which been
proposed by His Majesty's Ministers is the late
Parliamert ; and which had rendered the military
prr-paratiens an effedual annoyance to the enemy,
and a disappointment to the people of this country ;
that notwithstanding the apparent iihsativity of
His Majesty's present Servants, the House begged
leave to congratulate His Majesty on the exertions
of the Naval and Military Forces abroad, and that
their succi:ssful achievernents had insured the con-
quest of the Cape of Good Hope, under General
iii David Baird and Sir Home Popham; and of
Buenos Ayres, under Sir Home Popham cad Ge-
neral Beresford ; advantages these, which, if im-
proved, must be of the greatest importance, by open.
ing fresh sources of British Commerce; and at a
period when the Markets of Europe are ihreatened
to be shoat against us ; to assure His Majesty, also,
that the House rsfietlea, with pride, on the splendid
achievement of the army under Major-Geceral Sir
James Stuart, over a superior power of the enemy,
and of the seasonable check thereby given to
the boasting et the ene.vry ; and that thus our
military tame remain unimpaired, nor has suf-
fered any diminution from the military renown
and glory of our ancestors; to auntie His Majesty
that the House would investigate the ace of the
plans which had been proposed for an improvemem.
in the military system, and would inquire whether
they afforded an adequate compensation for Up
large additions which they had occasioned to the
military expenditure of the Country ; and that, in
inve.tigating the other branches of the military
establishment, the House would particalstly in-
