being read,
Lord GRENVILLE rose, and observed, be
shunts] hare no tot casior. to trouble their Wyckbips
at any length, in the presenrinstance. The Houk
had already marked irs strong sense of the nierito-
rioiss condikl of Vice-Admiral Duckworth, by cos-
fer ring on him, in a very pointed manner, the high
honour of their Lordships' thanks. Of the condo*
of the worthy Admiral, on the occasion which had
so justly entitled him to that parliarn•mary
Lice, and the intended rewards, he had already given •
his opinion, and which he believed was, attic same
time, the unanimous sense of their Lordships. His
Lordship then morel ail Address tei His Majesty,
on die occasion of his must gracious Mews-, As-•
suring His Majesty, that their Lordships would
readily concur in suer measures as may be necessary
to settle the annuity mectiuned by His Majesty, upon
Vice-Admiral Sit J. T. Duckworth, Ste.
The Address was forthwith speed to by the
House, and the Lords with white staves ordered
to pteseat the same to Ili; Majesty.
'lb Bills upon the 'fable, mostly private, were
forwarded in their respeaire stages
Mr. Dickenson b•otight up a private Bill, from
the Classmons, which was read a first time.
Mr. B. Bathurrt brought up the Bristol aerhoslC
Bill, which was also rza.l a first time.
MILITARY FORCF OF Tilt COUNTRY.
The Earl ot CAMDEN expressed his *pike,
that in order to enable their Lordships adeqa*lely
to judge of, or to understand, the general subject et •
the Military Defence of the Cavalry, which, it..
bably, would ere lung conic user the considers..
tion of that House, it would be secessery data

observed, would refer to the Additional Force Aa : 1 1
in saying this, he did not mean to ask whethar or
not
it was the intention of His Majesty's present 1' ;•, :.
Ministers to repeal that Ad ; but he thought the t
produdion of these accounts necessary with respell
to a proper discussion of the subj..sd ; and he thonAt ' I

meat. He wished that the accounts should he print-
ed, and ready for the perusal and consideration of
their Lordships, before the recess. In the accounts s, li ,
respeding the Additional Force Ad, he should wish , •
specific disundions to he made respeding the num-
ber of men raised by the Perish Officers, and those
levied by other mean..
Lord GKENNILLF. thought, that the doe'.
ments-so which his Noble l'riend more especially
referres', would not, drawn up as they were, cne- 1,41
tribute so materially to the due understanding of the
• 1
subjeet, as he seemed to think. Notwithstanding
what would appear on the face of the papers, there
was practically a material difference in the Nodes of
raising the men ; so much, that he thought it could
not be fairly argued, that ali the men, the aggre-
algte number of whom would appear at the foot of
e particular part of the account to which he al.
bided, were so raised.

Tile Earl of CAMDEN explained, that if the
documents he meant to be prodeced, should not be
sufficiently explicit, or distina, further accounts
may be laid before the House. He then moved for
the Accounts relative to the Additional Force AR.
of which he had adverted to the general tendency,
in the course of his observations.

'these, on the question being put, Mere ordered
accordingly.
Übe N i'ole Earl afterwards proposed a suing of
Motions, respeSing the production of a variety of
documents respelling the military force of the •
country (similar, we believe, to those moved ter its
the other House) and which were severalty ordered
t) be laid before the House accordingly.
Lord HAWKESBURY. after a very few prefa-
tory remark% moved for the production of a va-
riety
of official documents, respelling the state of
the Volunteer force of the country, at diff:rent pe-
riods, aloee the commencement of the war, deities..
guish,ng the numbers of the force in the respeCtive 11
counties, with the numbers of the men returned by
tile Inspeetors-General, in the respelive corps, as
effesitive, Sic. The o!'ijes% which he had in caw •
from these documents, was to bring a full statement
of the Volunteer force before their Lordships, from 4
the commencement of the war ; in order, among / 'i!
' •
other consist• instions, to as:eresiii the comparative
numbers of that description of force now, with what ie..
it was at the 0.-ginninA of the war ; it was desirab:e,
lie thought, to know what the amount of the Vo. ,"
lonteer force now was, and al.o what it was at dif-
ferent periods ; these considerations, he conceived
necessary to the lull untl.7rst.snding of the gereral
il

subjta ; if. ow examination, it should be tepid de-
It
sirahle to have a more ,ictaiied exposition to ;Lis :
part of the subject t of course, he thotizist, no ob-
jest.on would be made to ~.0.,g such before the
