HOUSE OF (011310Ns.

NOV. 27.

. • •• • •
;%lessrs. Ponsonliv, Tierney, Horner, and Whitbread, and Messrs.
Bathurst. Wellesley Pole, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in
which the tinnier complained of the state of ignorance in which
Parliament was kept on the most important transactions.
Mr. BATHURsT Mild it would be impossible now to enter into the
details, without committing the impropriety of prematurely discus.
sing in that House, what was then pending at ,Vienna, where they
had a confidential Representative.
The House then went into a Committee on the Army 'La.
mates, and
Lord PALMERSTON moved a resolution, that 204,386 men he. vo.
ted for the land service of the year ensuing, which was agreed to.
On moving a sum of 245,0001. to pay the tuillitia still remaining
embodied,
Mr. WHITBREAD said, the keeping of any of the militia now
embodied was directly contrary to law. It was a very great hard.
ship on the regiments which were thus selected; and it was desira-
ble that both the officers and men should receive some information
on the subject.
Mr. BATHURST acknowledged the hardship, but the necessity of
the case was a sufficient justification The conduct of Govern-
ment in keeping up a portion of the militia was perfectly consistent
with the Act of l'arliament.
Mr. %Vim BREAD still persisted that it was not legal ; the resolu-
tion was however agreed to.
Various (Alum sinus were moved, among which one of 1000091.
to defray the charge of Volunteer Corps, was opposed by Mr.
Whitbread aid Sir M. W. Ridley, who objected to continuing this
force, %Olen the country was neither threatened with invasion, nor
disgraced by internal commotion.—The resolution was withdrawn
for the present.—Adjuurned.
