THE NAVY,-'ARMY, &e.
'EarI'BATHUItST, purtuatit to his notice of yesterday,
rose to move the Thanks. -of the House to the Navy, Army,
,Militias, and Volunteer Corps, .for their great, signal, and
meritorious services in the course of the late War. 'The vote
which he meant to propose was similar to that adopted by
their Lordships, on.the conclwion of the War in 1802, and
to which he could anticipate nought but the most C,ordial
unanimity on the part of the House. The 'Sohle Earl, con-
ceiving it superfluous to enter into any detailed view 'of the
sobject, made some general nbservations in the way of en-
logy on the meritorious service's of each distinct branch. After
rendering a due tribute of applaiete to O. Naval Branch; 'he
particniarly pailegyrized the brilliant achievements of the
Army, and the state of discipline and' perfliction to which,
'through the skill zurd exertions of the Ilhistrious Person at its
bead, that important branch of his Majesty's service had been
raised. Ast ntiment tvhich seemed to be entertained and ex-
presSed by that illustrious and transetpdant military
Ur, the Duke cf Passingron to the services ren-
dered by the -Militia Force, and which he praised id appro-
priate trims, he adverted to those signal services rendered by
the Volunteer Corps, of which their Lordships must
-be ge-
nerally aware, and which Were peculiarly eminent in a jia-
tionni point of view ; and. concluded by proposing, in distinct
nations, the Thanks .of the I louse to the Navy,. Army, and
Itlarines, for the zeal, valour, .aid eminent services, rendered
by them to his Majesty and the Countr'y in the course of the
late War—and also to the respective Militias and theVolUnteer
Corps, to be communicated to the same through the Lord
Chancellor, by the
,Admiral of the Fleet, tend the Cons-
mander--in-Chief, &c. .• • •
On the noesTion—

Earl SF:N.2\IIOI'E did not rise for the purpose to oppose
that unanimity, which seemed likely .to prevail, .but‘to take
the opportenity of enquirifik what the intentions of Ciaern-
went were respecting the employment of those brave tars
whom they should now. he obligedito discard? It was right
and necessary something: intheir behalf should. be done, and
no way presented itself, as so likely to be beneficial. as cut-
ployMeot ip the British,Fisheries, which, as he understimd,
may bp imprvved to such e way, as to red,:ce the price of fish
from shillior,s to pence. Ile therefore had to recommend
that most iMportant subject to the serious consideration of
Government.
Viscount lIELVILLE observed, he had received no com-
mands whatever from
_his Royal Highness the Prince Regent
to make any communication upou the subject ; at the same'
time, be could rot help noticing that a piotion for Thanks to
the Navy and Army presenter! a very improper oppoetunity
for discussioL, the su.nieet of improving the British F.sheries.
'Their Lordships' ","ranks, .as moved by the Noble Secretary
of State, V,' re then vut,,t,d 21e7.1.
Earl STANH9K, mewed certain ResolUtions relative to
the supply of Corn for the Country, which were received pre
