/live population of the country), in the
' • union of the erttil, perticular iy in centemplation
the immensely increased mil:eery poorer of
JrTenet, and aka the great augmentation of her se-
;raurces. [he Noble Secretary contended, generally,
{that the measure was framed in the easiest and least
Liliutthenieme manner that - circurnamices would
" dmit of ; and that, as making part if a general
system, it would go to infuse a military spirit and
fil
eilaraair into the people of the'-country, and ini-
tiate them gradually into the Ise and sweetie, of
arms. Under these impressions. he certainly must
'urge the Bill's going to a Committee.
, Lord Viscount MELVILLE expressed his disap-
probation of the Bill, in a speech art some length.
Its contended, that the measure framed, as it is, Was
inefficient as to its professed proposes ; that at hest it
,wit .unnecessary and iuperiluous, as we had a
trained, eGsciplined, and well. apswinted Volunteer
force, of between S and 400,004 risen ; these, joined
to the total of the Militia and repeal. force of the
country, would form an age, agate, exceeding great-
ly 500,000 men : it would lid. a wa.te of labour to
mink of getting the proposed effeetive numbers by .
this Bill, when the great previous drains co the
population of the ci.untry were consi.leicd. He
parti:ularly praised the Volunseer force '..t the coun-
try. 44 full of Teal, spirit, and loyally, and inspired
with a noble spirit art coati fence, which, more than
any other consideration. led 0/ eventual success.
And that this charaler ot the Volunteers, particular-
ly those of the Northern parts of the island, was not
cverstrained. he could refer to a Noble F.Arl oppo-
site to him (Moira). His lordship made wee' al
detailed nlikainns t 3 Ill.! ITIC.IIIOIe, as perhaps is
WOllll/ be the only opportunity he should have 1.1
speaking upon it, rend censured it as dest.tute of
that military machinery. as proper offieers, !cc., so
requisite to render the force elfeetive. He %vice in
no spirit ot hostility against Mini,ti-rs on the occa-
sion, but seriously sugges:ed to them the considera-
tions he had thrown out ; and, above all. that there
was no necessity for a measure of the kind.
The Earl 01 MOIRA (feeling himself pot-Ocularly
alluded to), rose ; he paid that tribute of applause
to the spirit, discipline, and rangy of thetrolun :errs,
particularly in the Northern parts of tine Island,
which the Noble Viscount seemed to exoeet from
him ; And repeated, that he would Lot hestate 10
march at tl.eir head agsinst an army of French-
men. His Lordship then defended Use measure, on
various ground+, and contended, it would gradually
train and discipline the effeetive population of the
country, which should be in that state, that every
single bat:Aron of regulars may, if requisite,
be sent out on foreign service; and create
such a system of home defence, as to enable us
to overwhelm any invader that might dere to
land on our shores. Speaking of the Voluotecrt,

His Lordship rejoiced in the i 4.1114, that the com-
mercial spirit of the people of this country dad 1.4
in any degree debilitate or weaken their naisstial
arthiur. He expressed great satist-aion and plea-
su:e that any measure should be adopted of a =Li-
ca y nature, that could have a tendency to encourage
that ardour; but thought it sivin'id be adopted upon
the basis of the present Volunteer system. as it would
