House. He should only say a few words respecting the French
Army. 'J'he puniShment in the French army was described to
be less severe—bat wtiat was the state of its discipline ?At the
end of the Peninsula war, the French soldiers were a terror to
their own countrymen. On their retreat from the Pyrenees,_
before the British troops, they committed plunder and great
excesses. They were in tact an undisciplined army, whilst the
English army, on the contrary, was allowed to be in ago""
state of discipline.
Mr. OBHOUSE explained what he had said with respeet
to the beating of drums in the barracks. On the general squeS-
tion he was ready to admit that the English army had the
advantage of the French in discipline; but it was not fair to
suppose a retreating army could preserve good discipline. in°
pursuing army would always have the advantage in disciplin!j•
Sir ALEXANDER HOPE was not prepared to saylinlit'
corporal Punishment in the army could be dispensed with.
The report was then received, anti the Bill ordered be
read a third time on Monday.
Mr. GOULBURN obtained leave to bring in a Bill to regu-
late the application of monies vested in IrishClovernment'secu-
rities, pursuant to the 56th George 111.
The other. Orders of the Day were read, and the House l'a"
