from the genesA spirit nOw prevaiiing,. that- the:

as -rft,pected the supplrof force which the Militia.-

in which the comrry might be placed, it woold 1)4
advisable to havesonie further regniations.mlopted
in order to render our army as completelydisposahle
as it %vas possible. It was not the.wish Alinist:Ts
to propose. any fundamental change in our exists
lag military institutions. f tom the volunteering of
the militia into the line,---4rom the interchange of;
the militia regiments between the different part of
the United Kingdom,---and' from the institution.
of the local militia, they' conceived that almost .
every thing was effected which could be desired.,
AS eirCtilllstatlCCS, however, might arise which
would render it advisable for the.country,to make
the greatest possible exertion abroad, they thought .
that it wits right, before Parliament separated, to
propose sonic further regulations, in order CO give
our military system the highest possible degree, of
efficiency. Those regnlations would he found not
to be inconsistent with. that good,faith which' was
due to those who had entered into any branch of ..
our 'lnilitary .service ; nor would they call for ,
any exertion of that zeal that
.now animated.
all descriptions of Euglishmen for the deli- t
verance of ;the nations of . the Continent be,-,
yond what would be convenient to • them.—
The.first branch of our military establishment to
which those regnlatins might Ite,applictl, tvas the
Local ilfilitia.., Perhaps• there_might he no ne-
cessity,for applying • theta to the :Local-Militia,..
and certainly there was.oo immediate ,necessity;
but still he thought it.advisable,before Parliament .
,should sepal' tae An give a poWor. to the Crown ~-if
eircumstanices.,:sbould arise to make it wyedient.,
to accept of the voluntary serviced, of ,the Lo(,ttl

Ober in'vasion or trisyyrectiott. -: lt was also ay

that the qualityof those troops woai;l polite thought -

the' Silesian battalions, raised in ,the course of

With such an army' for its defence, the country
might be• perfectly, at rest front any eppiebension

which u great part of our military force was not at

French prisoners in- Russia and Austria, iii4d those .

believed- that the number of French: prißistiers of

than that of any army which any nation. had-evt.r '
possessed. ' Besides' the troops necessary:to guard
Ate french prisoners, others were, wanting to. AO,l .

taken to depart as 'little as possible from the :1
spirit of
,the -ilislitution of the local militia, and itt
no -degree %vithout the fullest consent of both the •..
officers and soldiers.. At the present time, 'when'
the most liberal offers were. daily- making for i.
ati ex:it:mini) of services, the care• of Govern- '•,
went must rather he to.have something re•Arictive .
in the .re,,,,ulatious, so as to prevent env inconve- •
nience truer falling on the local militia, from the
readiness with ‘; Illicit they inight be .expectett to ..
volunteer 'their services. At .p,reSent, they were
restricted iu time, as well -as in , distance, The ;
time wasti;estricted to 28 days, sad the 4ist once..

rope, On the tic thought
wilitiamou wit() bad been a good solclitr for leven

eieht years, sliould, on his, entrance into the
lieve..sorne.advantages from his service above
a common raw reerttif. He thought that his pre-
. ..eedent service in the militia shied(' he reckoned as
one or two years in 'his claims to the advantages
now given to the soldiers of the line, atter a (Ty-
pist length of service. This would be grateful to
to the feelings of the militia, and would encourage
' theist to volunteer. There was a very valuable de-
scription of the militia force,the non-commissioneti
officers, who appeared to hive been unaccountably
overlooked. Atter a service cif tWenty-five years,,
and when they, had 110 other means of earning
their bread, there was now only a provision of
threepence a-day for them, if they were to re-
tire ; 1101 manxCedonels were thus induced to re-
tain men who avert unfit fur service. This omis-
sion should be remedied. The surgeons of the
militia regiments were also so inadequate)'; recom-
pensed, that he was surprised that they' found
'Gentlemen competent to the situation ; but it
becatne Lhe liberAty of Parliament to Make ade-
onateprovkinn .for them, 'lie should elso take
that Opportunity of stating, that it, appeared to
Ministers to be advisable to increase the 6.oth re-
gimeot; (which was composed principally of fo-
reigners) by adding to it three battalions. After
some further observations, he.concluded by Mov-
ing, for leave to bring in a Bill to enable hisMa-
jes,ty to accept of the voluntary services of the
Local Militia out.of their own colludes.
Mr. I'Vovreitems conceived that his Majesty's
.Ministers were tatry naturally desirous of having
the means of ehiployins;, as large a portion ofithe
military force' of the country es C‘reannstances
should require, for the prosecution cif the war.
• He was certain that eircuntstaneeS could never be
more favoucablethao they were at preseot for em-
playing a large force abroad. There never exist-
ed on the records, of history any circumstances in
which a free people could feel themselves more
desirous of using their utmost force for the put--
pese of giving; freedom to other nations. There.
certainly never was a time when we could better
spare the greatest part of our army on foreign ser-
vice, as there never was a time of greater inter:-
nal tranquility and security. He hoped that the
4bandant harvest which it had pleased Provi-
de..ce in its bounty to bestow upon this couotry,
and the employmeht that the manufacterers now
found, would not only insure their perfect tranqui-
lity andprosperity, but would entirely dissipate the
• ideas entertained by some persons, that the local
dis'ollers and tumults which took place sortie tima
tt4o in our manufacturing districts, had anyothei
-causes but want of employmeut and scarcity of
prot it•ioes. When the necessity bad iubsidedl
the tumults also subsided. There could. Abe , but
feeling in the country, from its centre to its
ci: feeference, and that was,' that one utmost ex
erti ;us should'he used in the holy cause of the de-
livcrance of all nations. It was not now a .war
of Government against Government, but if was a
wee of the People every wifere, in support of their
liberty and independence. If it were now asked,
why the prttssian Monarchy was overturned at the
battle of Jena, it was because they bad nut then
called the people to their aid. If it were asked,'
why it Wits now restored with increased honour,
it • was because the people had nobly come for-
ward in its support. It the assistance that Dl-
rope now derived from the ,ekertioos of Sweden
was taker, into ettosideration, it wiedd-he found
to proceed from the act of the people 'of that
country, who overianed e Government that wus
unequal to their-protection, and elected that great
Captain who Was 110 W considered %lordly of being
the • rival of that General under whore be once
served, It was the spirit of the people in which
'Russia haul found the surest 'support of her throne
and when the hlmperor of France had endeavintr-
ed to stretch his colossal po-vver too far, helailed in
his attempt, hecause he had relied upon mere armies,
and had twit the s'upport of the people. its the coon-
tries.which he had made the seat of wise. At this mo.
Moo, the people of England' were most desirous of
supporting the people of' other nations in the present
war. They wished to give the 'greatest powers to
the Crown to he employed.in so glorious a cause.
The time of the year was now particularly favour-
able to the call which bad been matle upon them,
as it was the season that men could be spared with
the sinalleit iuconveniei,ce. He approved of the.
plan which had• been proposed by. toe Noble
Lord, and thought it wise in its Ihnitatio.ns-, both
115 to ;space and time.' As far as his experieace
.went, he was sure that time Bill would 'sleet with
every assistance from the Officers of the different
regiments. ,He begged leave, however, to add a
few words, not with an invidious motive, or with
nay idea of oppoition. H:: did not believe that
there was
.any intention in !Ministers tp.use the
great power tvilit7ll was now given to the Crown,
in any attempt 'the liinerties. of the people
Of this Country. Utui,:r the present circumstances,
lie.approved of giving to the Crown this,extraGr-
(Unary power--.-a power greater thun ever before
was tontines to it I but, at the same time, he
wished to add this admonition, that while we were
exerting ourselves so much hit: the liberties of
other stations, we should not be forgetful of our
own. This %yarning he thought it right to pro-
nottoce in the moment of our 'enthusiasm;' and
• while he cordially approved of giving these great
poweis to the Crown at the present moment, he
thought his consent woeld.nnt be of less value froin
bavistg his eyes open to all the coaseipsences which
