OT RESERVE,.
Mt. Secretary. You moved the Order ni t!ie•
Day, for the House to resolve itself into a Gym.
mittee of the whole House, on the Bill for Suspend-

ing, for a time to be limited, the Army of Reserve
Bill. The Motion being read, he moved, that the

Speaker do now leave the
Mr. MITI'.—" It is necessary for me, in the
view I have of this subjea, on the question that
you now leave the ,Chair, to assign reasons why I
shall give my negative to that Motion. It is not'
for the purpose of repealing the Bill altogether, but
to move that the Committee on it should be pest.

poned for' soMe time, perhaps for a fortnight, that
you may have the means of entering' on the con-
sideration of other measures, which it is my wish to
substitute in lieu of the Bill now before you, for
the Suspension of the Bill for the Army of Re-
serve. To suspend 'the Army of Reserve at the
present moment, is a matter to which there might
be a great deal said in a general way of objec-
tion, on which I shall not dwell much at large.—
I beg leave shorfly to, remind MiniSters, that
it has been, alledged, I think, without an an-
swers that the operation of thiS Bill to sUspend
the operation of the Army of Reserve for the
present, as Ministers call it, will be to deprive
us of the future effect of that measure, the objet{ of
which was to aid and augment our Regular Force,
,the augmentation of which it is stated to be the una-
nimous opinion of the House, as a slibjed to Which
we ought to dire our attention Under the present
circumstances of the Coantty, and to require the
most minute inquiry ; for it is a meastire which -has
been found, by experience, in the course of the last
twelve months, to have furnished a very consider-
able supply of -men for the Regtrlthr Army, and
under the present circumstances of the Country,
I see no prosped of doing the sank thing under
any other_ mode, or under any mode that is nbt
connected with the principle of the. Bill for
raising the Army of Reserve. By the Bill now
before the Houie for suspending the operation of
the Army of Reserve, we are t-illed upon to relin-
quish a measure which, it is admitted by those who
propose the suspension of it, has prod:ited a great
deal of good—without the chance of having any
other mode to accomplish the same object. A Luca-
sure, which, as part of a system., has ,produc-
ed much benefit. The present .rneasure has 'been
stated as consisting'. of three parts—an encourage.
ment of the Volunteer Offers of the Militia—
of improving, by farther levies, our present Force—
and of raising new Regiments and additional Bat-
Jalions, by withdrawing competition in the Recruit-
ing Service :.this is said as likely to take place ray
of the Army of Reser-ve
the present Suspension
I will not dwell much at large on these topics, be.
cause they have been- already decided, and one of
t.
the measures which Government have taken for that'
increase of the Army, has been efl'ee ual for its put
pose. That the Volunteer offers of the services of
has no effect to
the Irish Militia in this Country,
