Mr. WA ant,t'was anxious -to correA an inadver-
tent error in his evidence yesterday evening, the had
stated that he had not seen Mrs. Clarke on Tuesday
morning, but he had since recolle6ted that he had
seen her for a few minutes.
The .C/lANCtI,LOR of the EXCHEQUER observed,
that it was p.erfealy competent to the Honourable
fientleman to correct his evidence as he thought
proper.
Mr. WattpLE moved, .‘f That a proper. 'person
from the Office of the Commander in Chief of his

morrow, with the books containing any applications
that had been for purchase by subalterns, -within
the period of the three commissions given to Cap-

rather wish that he. would content himself with
giving.a notice of it for to-morrow. He presumed,
that should the Rouse agree to the motion to-

adverted to, this subje& before, in order that he

him, that it was not to prevent him front being em-

was in the power of the Noble Dulco, the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland, to appoint a perl,on to sue-

traded to such a length of time as to be likely to

He clot (.1.11;144 expeCt that a successor would have

MILITIA ENLlsTlviiitsiT BILL,
Qrcler of the Day having been read for the
fiecov4 rending of the Militia Enlistment ISM,
Lord CA S tputi•:Aou moved.; that it be pow real
a second time, rvgetving to himself tho right olre7
ply to nny otlittalPll3, that might be uq;ed against
414,1 measure..

r. 4t.t.torr rose to oppose pot the objet} of the
WI, Liu I mode by which that object wa to be
g.psedy wly of augmenting
r9-sular army, he doubted whether it COlidtlee4
to, the dis• of the ivaplar.artuy, and wry; sure
tWt it left die Nliiitirt wprst
r procee(litg.s were persevered, lit,
hr w,,of.ild drive the Alititia Ot)ivers 09t of beryice,

He
entered into a long defence or his Right Mott,
, F;iend'a. (Mr.ffindttam) plan of enlisting for
ed service, .and to prove that that plan had been
founded in an accurate knowledge of !maim na..
Lure, referred4o the recruiting returns. , In the last
17 months it appeared that 19,072 men had been
raised by ordinary "recruiting, of which number
14,381 had entered for limited service. In. 1807,
• 19;152 men had been transferred in Great Britain
from the Militia to the Line, of which number up-
wards of 03,000 enlisted for limited service. The
proportion of • those who enlisted for limited service.
in Ireland was about half and half. On the whole
27,505 men were in 1807 transferred from the Mi-
litia of the United Empire to the Line, of which
number 19,948 had enlisted tor limited service.—
He could not conceive a clearer proof of the advan-
tage that would have resulted in persevering in his
Right Hon. Friend's plan instead of treating it in
the shameful manner in which it had been treated.

Col. Noon replied to the arguments of the Hon.
Gentleman. He denied that the discipline of the
army had suffered by the enlistment from the Mi-
litia, and adduced the excellent condu& of the Bri-
list) troops in Spain and Portugal in support of his
Opinion. Instead of driving Officers out of the Mi-
litia, the system of occasionally permitting the Mi-
litia to volunteer into the Line held out the strongest
Inducement to young men 'of respeaable, but not
perhaps of opulent families, to enter that service, as
it afforded them the hope, that they might gratui-
tously obtain commissions in the. Line. In Contra.:
diaion to tho statement of the Hon. Gentleman,
that the majority of recruits for the Regular Army
enlisted for limited service, he instanced the expe•
rience of a Recruiting Serjeant, at Birmingham,who
had told him, that out of thirty-eight men enlisted
by him, thirty-six had entered forunlimited ser-
vice. He, was convinced that there were many men
in The Militia anxious to join the Line, and he did
not see why an opportunity should not be afforded
them) of gratifying their ardour.
Sir T. TURTON wished to know, before he could
agree to augment the disposable force, what it was
intended to do with, t. The Noble Lord had stated
last year, that after allowing for the borne defence,
there would be 60,000 men convertible to purposes
of foreign service. He wished to know where these
men were. Unless we meant to repeat such scenes
as the Convention of Ciutra or the retreat in Spain,
We stood in need of no additional force ; for it. was
childish to talk of danger of invasion with our su-
perior navy, Rome had been unable to conquer
Sicily until she had subdued the Carthagenian fleet,
He objeQed to the measure also on the ground of
its changing the constitutional principles of the Mi-
litia of the country.

Colonel ‘l3,lSrAlin argued against the Bill. The
only eansequenCe ott he former measure for allowing
the transfer of men (tom the Militia to-the Line,
'had been mutiny, drunkenness, and insubordination.
He must do his Royal' Highness the Commander in
Chief the justice to say, that in executing the former
Bill, he had religiously adhered to the letter of it,
and he would recommend the Civil Department of
his Majesty'riGoverniuetit to imitate his Royal High-
ness's conduct-in this iesped.
Lord EUSTON spoke against the measure, but in so
low a tone, that it was impos:iible to mile& What
the Noble 1.44 d said.

Thet SECk'RETAR r AT WAR asserted, that it wns
admitted, on all hands, that Some measure for aug-
menting the regular army was both proper and m-
emory: No other means but the present could be
found for answering that purpose except a military
conscription. It might be necessary for this couniry,
in the present circumstances, of the world, to at
great part on the Continent, and that was only t, be
dune by increasing the amount of the regniar
of the country. Though the operation of the I. co;
might, be a hardship, that hardship wo,1:1 grant.)
relieved by the provisions Of LiF., Noble, Er4.nd's f ill.
If the ballot were to apply at ewe, the bounty nigt,t
rise, but when the detieien 'y .eas le be Jradwily
supplied, no such inco..venience would he rvit.
• Mr. DAVIES Gronv, as nearly as we could col-
lea his sentiments, approved of the estiblislunent of
the Local Miiitia,, as securing the Country a4ain,t
e.xposure to the danger of inyaivon. fie also consi-
dered the success of A similar measure In a Lite in-
stance its a good 'ground for the present.
Mr. CALCUAFT agreed with the Secretary at War,
that the mileary force of the Country ought to be
placed on the most respectable tooting. It was but
a few months since they had been told, that the
army was then upon t'he highest eoblishnient of
which the circumstances of the Country admitted.—
The Noble. Lord ought therefore to state what the
dirniontidti was which had taken place in that army
wince that period, The Pipers presented last year
shelved that the .artny then consisted of nearly
240,000 men, while the Papers then on the table
skewed its amount to be only 210,000. 'lt was the
duty of the Noble Lord, therefore, to' shew how this
diminution had taken place. The Hon. Gentle-
man then, entered into a defence of the Military
System of his Right
,Hon. Friend (Mr. Windham),
which he contended had not had a fair trial. That
system had produced, whilst in ferce, a supply of
nearly 24,000 'annually, a supply as great as the cir-
cumstances of the population of this Country;weuld
admit of. lie did not liwk to our acting any great
military.part upon the Continent, and hoped, that
before we should attcnipt any such operation, we
should Inaturely weigh, the circumstances, and the
scene upon which we would have to act. :this was
the fourth instance in which the Militia bad been
drafted to, supply the Army, and the etfeet of this
praaice had been to drive qualified officers out of
that three. He did not think it putsible to recruit
the Militia by the bounty proposed in the Noble
meaSure.,, If men were wanted for the pub-
'e service, they should he raised at the public ex-.

pence.
The SECRETAny AT WAR explained.
Colonel FRANKLAND lamented that the present
Measure had not been delayed till the fullest infor-
mation reripeting' the state of the army had been
laid on the tabhyof the House. The Address to the
Thriate only pledged the liouse to investigate such
measures as might increase the disposable force of
the Countryi without impairing its defensive means.
The constitutional military laws of the Country had
provide a -force which was not to he trusted to the
discretion, or rather the indiscretion of any
stet. Was a rear and unbalanced army, he asi(ed,
the best security for the tletnce of the Country ?
The I.lottie was pledged to maintain Ow cbaystitu

fienal laws of the Country, and if he were to agiee
to the present pleasure, he should consider his cop-
duet nridutifulbuintne, and unprincipled towards his
constituents.
Mr. Locicitardid not think, that. the Present mea-
sure could be considered Oppressive if it was neces-
sary, and. contended, that if any' expence was in-
curred bY the ballot, it ultimately fell upon the_ pa-
rishes, and consequently could not be said to be in-
dividually oppressive.
Lard CASTLEREAGH begged to say a few words
upon the objeaions that had been urged against the
measure. into whatever hands the administration
of affairs might fall, the augmentation of, the regu-
lar force would not be an unacceptable service, and
certainly if the . Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr.
Frankland), or his friends shoull come into employ-
- meat, they would have reason to thank him and his
colleagues for having performed this odious task of
increasing the regular army for them by this odious
measure.' And whatever Gentlemen might think
of the result of the campaign, they could not con-
' sider it a proper exercise of their contruul upon the
Executive, to impede the progress ot measures, upon
the principle of which all were agreed. Were the
Hon. Gentlemen prepared to state upon their own
information, that the circumstances of the campaign
were such as to preclude hope ?. Whatever they
might think.of Spain, as long as the people of that
country should be true to themselves and determined
to resist the tyranny that was resolved to subdue
them, both the Parliament and the country were
bound to support them. But, if even the struggle
,was to be considered at an end in Spain a thing
which, he could not admit, in the case of a, whole
feople rising simultaneously and generally, to resist
oreign despotism; were not Gentlemen aware that.
something would grow out_of that question, which
would call upon this country to prOvide a large and
efficient disposable force, not only for the de-.
fence of the British interests, but to resist French.
aggression ? What a case might they not make out.
against his Colleagues and him, if he should neglect
the means of proViding a numerous and invincible
army against such an emergency ? As to the state-
ment of the Hon. Gentleman opposite, respe&ing
the effeaive strength of the army, according to the
returns of the last year, and those now upon the
table, he had only to state, that. in last year's returns
the artillery had been included, wheteas the returns
of the present year contained only the amount of the
regular infantry and cavalry.--7 The fait was, that the ,
army` had, within the last year, bad an increase of
bet Ween 2 and 3000 men, though he was bound to
state, that the late returns did not' include the ca-
sualties in. Spain, as they did those in Portugal. The'
returns shewed the number of battalions of the Line
that consisted of more than 600 men, and those un-
der thatamount; the former being 126 in number,
and the latter 56. If his .measure should be pro-
duative to the extent he expe&ed, namely, to obtain
27,000 men, that accession of (nice would raise
these 56 deficient battalions to tnorethan 900 men.
each, and consequently plade every battalion in the
army
,upon an establishment fit for itrimediate ser.
vice. Whether therefore the general principle of
augmenting the effe&ive strength of the army, or
the particular objea of rendering all the battalion's
fit for immediate service were consit:crud, he was
sure the House would be convinced of the pro-
priety of the present measure. 'The Noble I.Ord
then.went into a statement of the `comparative effi-
cacy of the reertiiting for the army, under his own
and his Right Hon. predecessor's systems, and con-
cluded'by stating,. thatlii the presctit day the liber-
ties of the country were in no danger from any, ac-
cession that could be made to the disposable force
of the country, but that on the contrary the best
security for those ,liberties was to be found in the
slit it and principles of. the Officers and men corn-
posing that force.

Loid TRMPLE contended, that a case of emer-
i;:ncy sufficient to authorise the mea'sure, should,
upon former occasions, have been shewn. This
.code of recruiting the Regular Army had now crept
Into a system, which he :considered as one of the
most unfair that could possisly be devised. He then
entered into a comparison between Mr. Windham's
military system and that adopted by the present Ad-
ministration, and contended, that the former was in-
finitely the best, and most produdive of men. He
;gave his decided dissent to this measure; , •

The question being now called for, was ptit and
carried without a division, The Bill was then read
a socond 'titne ; and it was resolved that the House
should go into a Committee upon it on,Monday;
The Committee on the Plymouth Dock Police,
Bill, was postponed till this day. ae'nnight. • .

-/era CASTLEREAGII said, he could have no oh-
jeetion to either of these motions, but he did not
know how Government could comply with them;
as the itetarns necessary to enable them to accord
_with the first, had not been made, and it was im-
possible at present to ascertain the second.

The 29th and 30th French Bulleiins seactea
town this 'morning ; the former ,contains an account
of the surrender of a Spanish army of moo° men,
under the command of General PANEGAS, who Was
killed, to General VICTOR.

The loth Bulletin, which is dated Valladolid,
the 21st ult. contains an account of the battle before
Corunna, and of the victory which the Frepgli 013'
tained there, with the loss only, of 100 men killed,
and 150 wotinded ! The loss of the English, of
course, is represented as immense i but it is singular
Ow •no notice is taken of the death of General
MOORE, or the wound of Sir D. BAIRD : from this
circtimstAnce we may infer that the French bad not
entered Coruna, or they must, of course have been
informed of the death of the British Commander in
Chief. The Bulletin does not state that the Frcnch
hadentered either Ferrol or Corruna.

We this morning received New-York Papers to
the 6th ult. but their
.contents are not very interest-
!
ing. The Bill for Prohibiting all intercourse with

doubt that it will be passed into a law. -A, pro;-)04
sition which has been made to Congress !or an
dition of 5 0,090 men.to the gtilitary fUrce, has created
very long and violent debates. I'he opponents of
the measure contend, that it is a decisive proof
either that the Executive Government have resolOd
upon a war, or else that this force is to be employed ,
in destroying the Liberties of the People of America.
• The Anniversary of the laying on the Embargo (224
December), was observed at many of the American
Ports with peculiar ceremony; the national colours
Were hoisted half mast high, and minute guns were
bred, to denote the death of American Cornnlerce'
The language of the Newspapers against the Execu-
tive Government is uncommonly strong.
The following is the concluding sentence of
paragraph in the New-rork Commercial ildvertiser
of the sth ult.

" All hopes of relief are brought to a final issue.
It is for the people, from whom all power emanates',
who have been taught by their, present rulers that
they have a right to resist oppression, and to oppose
all encroachments upon their rights—it is tor tintli
to say that these things rims/ not le."

it is with pleasure we learn, that the accouP
which Governinent have this day received froinidir.
bon, dated the zsth ult. are of a contrary nature 19,
those which we yesterday mentioned.
No advices had reached Lisbon to that time, of
thi arrival of the French in Portugal. The 1)101.
