"'That it is the opinion of this Committee, that a sum Pot
exceeding two millions. sterling, be granted to his Majesty,
to continue in his Majesty's pay a body of Portuguese troops
and to grant such further aid and assistance to the Govern.
meat of Portugal, as the nature of the contest in which that
country is engaged,• :my, appear to require."

Mr. FREEMANTLE denied that the Noble Lord
had satisfied his mind with respect to the propriety
of the proposed grant. • The Noble Lord had stai-
verted not to the general state of the war, but to the
particular state of Portugal. To
,all that the Noble
Lord had said in praise of the exertions of Portugal,
he heartily subscribed. But he could not allow an
additional hurdler) of two millions to be imposed
upon the country, without bringing back to the re-
collection of the Committee the, original object, for
the avainineet of which this grant was in the first
instance voted. That object had failed, and there-
fore to continue such grants, was merely to
persevere -:_in a system of, lavish expenditure,
from which no „satisfactory result could be eke
peeled. When the first, grant of this nature
was proposed, it was to afford British aid towards.
rescuing Spain from the gripe of France. At that
time lid concurred most cordially with the whole
country in the effort. But four year elapsed;
and nut an inch of ground having Men gained, he
had a right to alter his opinion on the subjea. So
far were we from having emancipated Spain, that
we have not a single man there, nor could we en.
tertain a rational prosped of making any impression
on the enemy in that quarter. He put it to the
Committee, whether it four years ago the merely
remaining in Portugal had been described as the ul-
timate object of our effOrts, the proposition to make
those efforts would have
_been received with that
adelamation and support which actually accompa-
nied it ? In objeaing to the present. motion, he felt
that he trod on ground not most popular just then;
of course he should have to contend with the Gee-
tlemeteepposite. He should also have to contend
with many with whom he was in the general habit
of political accordance. But so strong was his con-
viction on the subject, that he felt it imperative
upon him to express his opinion. He had patient-
ly listened to every argument and opinion con-
neaed with it, both in Parliament, and in private so-
ciety, butfiitherto no:one had been able to persuade
him that, under the present circumstances, Great
Mitain ought to persevere in a system so lavish,
that it-must eventually lead to her utter destruaien.
It was on the ground of expense, that he argued
against the motion. We had failed in every etEat
we had made to drive the enemy from Spain. :•We
had failed, not :from any want of coutage in our
troops, noefrom any want of in our officera,
but from a want a want of co-operation on the- part
of the Spaniards, from a want of that assistalice
which we expected from theme and which we, had
a right to expel. In the present atate of the Coni-
mittee he would not enter into any detail's alt he War in
the Peninsula ; hut he would implore them to pause
before, hey fruitles-ly expended two nations of- der
publicmoney. .Let them consider, that two millioe3
was near one sixth of the produce of the lecteee
Tax. Let them look at the enormous expenditure
of the country, and 'endeavour to devise the means
ofdiminishing, ratlrer than of augmenting it. Tae
present annual expenditure of Great Britainamortiii-
ed to nearly one hundred Millions! The Hon.
Gentleman would defy any Minister to maintain the
present -expenditure of the country, with resources
so diminished, and the trade and commerce simi-
lady circumstanced. He need only refer the Rigl,t
Hot). Gentleman to what he had satttd last year,
when proposing a subsidy for Portugal--when at the
same time, there was a• petition front the manufac•
tuiers, complaining of the decay of trade, and prsyr.
ing some relief. On that occasion, the Rght Hon.
Gentleman had said, that it was impossible to afford
the relief prayed for, until Buonaparte had tattered
prohibitory Decrees. Since then the Ruler of France
had increased them, and therefore the situation of the
country in that respect was worse. Under these
circumstances he should most earnestly recommend
to the House to adopt economy—to diminish the
expenditure, and make it more commensurate with
the means of the country, The Noble Lord had
stated that the revenue of Pot tugal was materially
improved since the former subsidy was voted by
Parliament. If so, she had no right whatever to

call upon Great Britain for farther aid ; the in-
crease of the revenue of PortugaTo.ught .to be ap-
plied to the maintenance of her army, especially as
onr revenue was on the decline. If England was
menaced with a foreign invasion, would English-
men, he would ask, condescend to receive pay (or
carrying muskets in defence of their• liberties and of
their country ? The faa was so with the Portuguese
for the subsidy was granted for the express pur-
pose of assisting them in defence of their own coun-
try. (Hear, hear!) Gentlemen might exClaim,but he
wished they[courd countradi& the faa. He would
state a few fans in detail of the expences of our
army in that quarter. .At this moment it must be
admitted, on all hands, that the extent of lit was
under 50,000 men at least available for service—the
expanse of the establishMent of mules employed in
carrying stores, , &c. was not less
.than 40001. per
diem, and this he could prove, if_ necessary. Each
horse cost this country ss. per day, besides the pro-
vision for the cavalry, and their horses were expea-
ed to be furnished from this country. The furnish-
ing therefore,. of hay, corn, and other provisions,
tnust of necessity affect the state of our markets,
ond impoverish the resources. The transporting of
the heavy ordnance from Oporto to Ciudad Rodrigo
cost this country 20,0001.—With respect to keeping
up the force, our means were not adequate, for the
Militia regimentS were called on to supply their
quotas for the line, and many of the Dililitja regi-
ments were not complete, for some of the Coun-
ties could not afford a ballot. It was impraaicable
to keep up the Cavalry regiments; lie. could al.-
firm, that one regiment, which at the end, of the
year t SOB was complete, consisting of eight troops,
containing-640 men arnl horses, landed. in Portu-
gal, was now reduced, though it had been recruited
five times since that time, to 480 men, and when in
the field could not muster more than 400 men. to-
deed he might say of all—ex uno disce omnes. In re-
commending economy, he did not mean visa our ar,
tries should be withdrawn, or that at the first charge.
the country should surrender at discretion. His only
object was to induce the House to look at the situ-
ation of this country, and-by its conduit prevent
the furtherance of what he must deem a ruinous
system, cat ried on in a country where so fair a pro-
aped was not now presented as-at the commence-
meat. The Right Honourable Gentleman might
exclaim again, but that was his opinion ; and
therefore be could not avoid recommending the
adoption of measures more conducive to the security
of the Empire, and more congenial with its resources.
Mr. J. WARD was one of those persons who at
first thought that it would have been better if this
country had-not appeared as principals in the war of
the Peninsula ; he still thought so,' but it was quite
a different thing to say, that having entered into it
Once, it should now be abandoned. His Honour-
able Friend had declared, that he was not only in-
disposed to carry on the war originally, but he re-
commended a system of policy which was evidently
a great deal worse. • In other words, his Honour-
able Friend would not abandon the prosecution of
the tsar, but he would recommend to the House to
starve it. Even if the recommendation was adopt-
ed, Portugal would still continue to be burthensorne,
without the chance of gaining any one of the ob-
jeas of 'the war. He wished his Hon. Friend had
recolleaed that there was nothing so dangerous or
injurious to a great and powerful country as uncer-
tain vacillation. if the House should come to the
resolution which ;pia Hon. Friend proposed, what
would be the opinion of every
,Statestnan of the
etoduCt of. England ? They would say—" You con-
tinued the war when you had no chance of ultim ite
success, but the moment that success appeared like-
1y to be attained, you abandoned the contest, apd
that too when you had one of the greatest Generals
the count?y ever knew at the head of your forces,
because you find that you cannot afford to prose Cute
it any longer." His Hon. Ft lend had said, that we
fed the Portuguese for defending themselves. What
was the faa ? The charge was a most unjust one.
The war•was commenced on the good faith that
we should afford them assistance if necessary; they
made efforts worthy of them to resist the common
,enealy, and finding their efforts not sufficient; ap-
pli:d to us for the assistance we offered. With
ropea to the state of England, God forbid 'that we
should not make every etor t for our security con-
sistent with our character as a great nation, but if it
was requisite to receive assistance; he really saw no-.
thing so disgraceful in it. It had been the practice
of all our Allies. The Emperor of Germany had
done so, aria he had never heardaliat that Monarch
was-Ali-graced by it. This country was pledged to
support Portugal, and she had dope nothing lately
to forfeit our Frote6tion, nothing that should induce
ns to ofkr that hollow niggardly support which his
Hon. Friend' stenied disposed to give. On the con-
:sr-illy, tie were bound to afibril her full, real, and
ethcient support. As to Spain, if that country
et er deserved support, it was now, for her conduct
in abolislung that execrable Government With whicb
she had bet-n so long acqu'ainted. He ises not dis•
tosed to deny, that the time might come, when
.pet-stud by extreme difficulties, it might be advise-
able to husband our resources with -respect to the
contest in the Peninsula. Sure he was, that if the
-contest was to be abandoned , it most be slowly,
not without duly. weighing our' means, and being
satisfied that we wcrc really unable to carry it on
any longer. •

Mr, DILLON entertained similar sentiments with
Isis Hon..Fliend (Mr. W..rd), and was disposed to
give credit to Ministers, and to the Noble Earl at
the head of the army in the Peninsula, for the con-
dud of the war. He, was, however, sorry to be
obliged to withhold some share of praise for the
conduct of Government in respell to the affairs of
&pain. If proper exertions had been made at the
commencement of the contest, different results
would have en,ned ; they ought to have insisted on
the adoption of those measures since pursued by the
present Government in Spain. He hoped and trust-
ed that greater cordiality would subsist than with
the Central Junta.

Sir THOMAS TURTON conceived no temporary
ought to prevent us from carrying on
operations in the Peninsula. He deprecated the
idea of exceeding the means of this country, and en-
tirely coincided with the Hon Gentleman in his
views et economy, satisfies
find difficulty in resources.

Lord tocilitioqt redorrimended the adoption of
operations along the coast of the Peninsula:
The.naotion Was then agreed to.
BREAKWATER.—PLYMOUTH-SOUgn.

Mr. YORE then rose to propose a resolution_ for
granting a sum of 80,0001. on account attic intend-
ed Breakwater in Plymouth Sound. The Right
Hon. Gentleman observed, that he sh9uld propose
to vote the sum in the first instance for the better
proteetion of his Majesty's ships in 'harbour ; trust-
ing, that as the papers on the subject had been long
on the table, they were fully known to Gentlemen.
.The two. principal points upon which be claimed
attention was, in the first place, to ascertain whe-
ther it was expedient and necessary to do any thing
in Plymouth Sound ; and secondly, whether the
plan on the table was the most beneficial ? As tot he
first point, every Gentleman who had turned his
mind to, or was acquainted with the naval ser-
vice, must conclude that the western ports and
roadsteads were highly deserving consideration.—
No doubt the naval service was the most popu-
lar, and the House naturally looked to it with
a sort of affectionate regard, which the nature
of that service generally assured, though he wag
ore of those who was not disposed to think that
service the only one to which the country was
indebted for it proteelion, yet it was the most ma-
terial part of its defence. The greater part of the
world placed-dependence on the British flag for pro-
teetion ; a flag which had carried the glory of their
country to the highest pitch. The House, how-
ever, would not be justified in entering blindly into
a proposition of the nature he was about to bring
forward, without due consideration of its prinCiples.
The ports and arsenals of the navy were capable of
great improvement, and when it was considered
that the skill and courage of the navy were carried
to the pitch of greatness he had just _stated, it might
be desirable as affeetiug the safety of that navy, that
the civil improvements should be attended to, and
it might be worthy of consideration to inquire into
the state of all the ports. He would, however,
confine himself more particularly to the Western
ports. - For.thany years past Plymouth Sound had
been found to be the most magnificent.arsenal for
the rendezvous of ships of the line, but the Ha-
moaze for the last 20 years had not beenjudged so
safe for ships of the line to anchor in. During the
summer months these was sotne little security, but
not for large fleets at any season. At the breaking
out of the American war, in 1773, the fleet under,.
Admiral Keppel anchored here so late as the middle
of Oalober. Subsequent to 1790, not a ship of the
line had been enabled to anchor there; they were
obliged to go into' Cawsand Bay, that part of the
roadstead being a better shelter from the winds.—
It was, notwithstanding, a more confined anchor.
age, and open to tempestuous seass ; the conse-
quence was, that our fleets were compelled to use
Torbay and Falmouth. If an adequate protection
could be given to Plymouth Sound, he should be
justified by every naval man present in saying that it
would be preferable to either Torbay or Falmouth.
Though Torbay was a noble anchorage, yet in 1795,
when nay Lotd Howe's fleet anchored there, they
were caught by an easterly wind, which did some
damage, and the greater part were in considerable
danger. If 'Gentlemen would look at the Chart,
supposing proper shelter was afforded in Plymouth
Sound, the facilities in sailing from it with an easter.
ly wind would be greater than from any of the wes-
tern ports, as they would perceive. Another ad-
vantage would be the opportunity of being prepared
for the enemy's fleet. It was true, that at present
the enemy had no fleet at Brest, but the House
would not therefore suppose that at some future
time that most important port of France might not
have to boast of a fleet. At present there was but
one solitary ship of the line in the harbour ; there
might be at some future time 25 or 30 ships, as for-
merly. If it would be proper to make Plymouth
Sound a safe harbour, why not do it now, in order
to be prepared in'the- event of the enemy having a
fleet at Brest ? Another great object was, to save as
murh as possible the wear and tear of the
With these views it would be desirable to make it a
place of safety ler the western fleet. The question
was now whether the mode suggested for improve•
ing the harbour was the be,t ? The Committee
would be aware that the idea was not modern. A
variety, of plans had been suggested. In 1806, my
Lord-Howick had direeied the plan of Mr. Rennie
to be taken' into consideration, and persons were
appointed to survey the Sourid, and report upon the
practicability of carrying the plan into execution.---
The result of the investig,tion was, the proposal of
a Breakwater, leaving open a passage to the East and
West, to cover not more than three nautical miles ;
the extent of the Breakwater to be something more
than one mile; the depth of the water would not
be great, not more than between 28 and 30 feet,
sufficient however for receiving any ship of the line.
The opinion of Mr. Jackson, the present Master
Attendant at Plymouth Yard, was, that the water
would be of depth sufficient for 36 ships of the line;
but supposing that not more than 15 or 20 were safe
moored under this proposed shelter, it would be a
great gain to the country. The estimated expenca
of the whole- of the works would be about
1,500,0001.; that sum would he soon repaid in the.
saving which would arise in the fitting out of ships.
With resped to the plan, it was proposed to form_
the breakwater upon shoals now very dangerous, as
the Shovel and Carlos Rocks, Which do harm to the
Sound. In proceeding on the werki there would
be no speculation, for it was well known what had
been done at Cherbourg, similar, in many respects,
to the present plan. It was first proposed by M.
Vauban, after the battle of La Hogue, but was not
carried into effect till the year 785—it was begun
by forming cones, the dyke was filled up by stones.
The situation 9f Cherbourg was different from Ply-
mouth Sound, for it wasexposed to the most tem-
pestuous weather, with great rapidity of tides. It
was proposed to sink a few cones, but that not suc-
ceeding, they bad recourse to stones, and the wor4
were completed in that manner. It was carried in
extent two miles and three quarters in between nine
and ten fathoms water, and affords now cOinplete
shelter fur the enemy's ships of the line. in A wea-
thers. If, therefore, the works were completed at
Cherbourg, why might they not be completed at
Plymouth S d. - he- he f--ilk'

quarters; sl;o3N at Pittii6titli not being tttdre
than from 14 to l 5 feet, and between five and six
fathoms water. The probability of the success o+
the. undertaking being so great, and the advantages
likely to result so beneficial to the country, repaying
In a few years after .completion the expence, that
he trusted there could be no objection to the prop.
-sition. The .Right Honourable Gentleman then
moved,

" That a sum not exceeding 80,0001.. Iba granted
for the purchase of cones for carrying on the works
in Plymouth Sound."
The motion was agreed to, the House resumed,
and the Report was ordered to be received to-
morrow.

On the motion of.Mr.-CitoxErt, the M nine Mu—
tiny Bill was read a third.time, and pissed.

LOCAL MILITIA.

On the third reading of the Local Militia Bill,
Sr F. BURDETT wished to propose a clause to pre-
v-mt the infli&ion of the punishment of flogging in
the-• Local Militia.

- The SPEAKER amehended- it was too late to in-
troduce a clause, btft the Hon. Baronet could move
an amendment to any clause he might object to,
artd doing so, he would have an opportunity of
making any remarks he might wish to offer.
Sir F, BURDETT, in conseven-ce of this sugges-
tion, arose to offer an amendment. He prefaced
his motion with a few remarks on the impropriety
of resorting 'to the punishment of flogging. Ad-
verting to the case of Mr. Taylor, to which he had
alluded last year, he maintained that what he then
slated was correct, and that the subsequent inf./I--
Illation had satisfied him that Mr. Taylor was a man
of excellent chatader, of good education, and con-
siderable talents. Education had been recently
spoken of as likely to tend to the abolishing of flog-
ging, but here was an instance from which a diffe-
rent inference might be drawn, as Mr. Tailor's
education had led him to write that song for which
he was punished. He then noticed what had taken
place at the Isle of Ely, where, on account of a"
squ,ibble between the Officers -and men about the
marching guinea-, to which the latter thought 'they
were emitted, their condua had been said to be
mutinous, and a number of these young men, who
had but just put off their smock-frocks; had been
'sentenced to receive 500 'lashes. He would ask if
such punishment was not out of all chary ter ? and
since there were persons-who seemed io resort to it
with such alacrity, it Seemed" to him highly expe-
dient to pievent its being inflicted. was the
more necessary, as the country were likely to be
called out, and it was too much that the punishment
of flogging should be inflicted on-our eniire 'popu-
lation. He concluded by moving, that to that p4rt
of the Altc. extending in case. of invasion, the pro-
visions of the Articles of War to the Local Militia,
the following worth should be added—" Except so
far as shall extend to inflieling the punishment of
flogging, wliich shall in no case be inflicted on any
'Officer, private, or drummer, serving in the Local
Militia."

Mr. GOULDBURN opposed the motion. The HO-
nour2ble Baronet, by the amendment he had moved,
would exempt the Local Militia from the regular dis-
cipline of the army, at a time when_ they were called
upon to aEt as a regular army, while he left them
exposed to the punihliment of flogging while they
were being raised znd trained. 'Toe cases to which
he had adverted, of Mr. Taylor, and the men at the
Isle of Ely, were cases in which punishment was
impel iously called for, and in which it had been in-
flitied with justice and modeurion, as he. believed
would be admitted by the parties themselves ; an
acknowledgment of the justice of his sentence could
be produced in the hand-writing of Mr. Taylor.

Colonel WARD said it was believed in this coun-
try that corporal puinshrnent was not inflicted in
the French service. He, hoWever, had it to state,
that -one of their books had fallen into the hands of
a division of our army, -at the battle of Fuentes
d'Honores, which contained the proceedings of their
Courts Martials, . from which it appeared, that
within a very short time,
•320 men, chiefly desert-
ers, had bean sentenced to death. Not only in
such caws was the offender put to death, but his
parents might be imprisoned for six months, and
and those who had haibourrd him were fined 1500
francs. The book was afterwards lost ; but•lnz was
authorised by ap Officer to state what he had ad-
vanced, and if it were necesslry, he was at liheity
to mention the name of his author ; and at the same
time to say that if another book of that discripti.on
fell into our hands, care would be taken of it,
that Gentlemen tnight•see it and make their own
comments.

Mr. W. SMITH thought that the book-mentioned
by the• last Speaker went to prove that corporal
punishment was not inflided in the French service.
Mr. D. -GIDDY objeaed to a relaxation of disci-
pline, though he thought severity of puni-haient in
the Local,Militia, would be best avoLled.

Mr. WHITBREAD supported the amendment, and
contended that the abolition of flogging would tend
not to 'relax, but to improve the discipline of the
army. As to the book which they had been told
was found,
.and afterwards lost, and. Which Was-to
tie taken such care of if found again, and for which
he supposed the Hon. Gentleman would advertise,
offering I.nge sums for its produCtion, as he had
done for another book on a, former occasicn, it
seethed after all to make against-Ilk argument, as it
turned out that there was no proof of corporal pu-
nishment being inflicted in the French service, to
prolle which it was brought forward.
After a few further observations from Mr. Her-
bert, Lord Palmerstone,. Admiral Harvey, Mr. H.
Thorn:On, Mr. W. Wynne, Mr. Gibbs, -Mr. Wil-
son, and Colonel Elliston, the question was put,
and the amendment negatived without a division.
The Bill was then read a third rime and passed.
BANKRUP I'S IN PARLIAMENT.

Mr. THOMSON moved fur leavti to bring in a Bill
to declare vacant the seats of Members of Parlia-
ment who became Bankrupts, and whose 'debt's'
were not paid within -a limited time.
Mr. A. BARING objected to the motion, on ac-
count of the general stignia which the Bill went to
throw on Bankruptcy, whether the parties concerned
were honest or dishonest.
