in the policy of the Legislature, in giving men
something that matken its good will.; and ;nde.

though he wished forty days, including the dat's
i.f inspeaion, yet in this case he should be

extremely desirable and becoming the wisdom of
Parliament, when this system was to become part
of our permanent defence, to put the Vo'unfeeri for
a w bile on permanent servic,., to give then a de.
gr,e of efficiency which they' can never otherwise
acquire, and this was a subjaft -upon which a very
large portion of that House could speak from expe:.
mote. He did not believe that any experienced
Officer in the House, after having ',naked at this
subjeft with the attention it deserved, would. say
that the necessary discipline could be acquired
in less than fi;rty days in the year, and that
such attention, would be highly beneficial to all the
Volunteer Corps, and of course beneficial to their
Country, Which confided so much in them. for its
security, When Parliament proposed only twenty
days, there might have been reason to guide-Go..
yernment to have insisted upon a different course-be.
ing taken frOm what they did take. He would re-
mark in passing, that 'the manner inwhich that was
stated by the Right Hon. Gentleman to-night was
not quite consistent With the plan he recommend-
ed ; tot the question now- was, what number of days,
shall, or shall not be allowed for the training • and
exercising the Volunteers The. Right Hon.-Gen-
tleman had said, it would be better not to provide for
many of those paints by provisions in the Bill, bur
leave much to the discretion of the Executive Go-
vernment to judge of the circumstances. Now,
this in the first instance would have been very
well ; but he had a reason, which he would
soon state, • for not thinking that the Executive
Government ought to have this discretion now.
It did riot' apt to him that toe Executive Govern-
ment had judged wisely upon this occasion ; they
seemed to have thought themselves confined to the
twenty days,. and to give no more time than Par-
liament gave for this purpose, and that appeared to
him to be a very good reason why Parliament
shauld now think that twenty days are not sufficient;
nor was there any objeetion to make provision upon
this bead specifically under the present cirourn.
stances. When the House was voting a, sum of
money as a vote of credit, it was usually left to the
Executive Government to judge how much oaf it
should be issued for any particular purpose ; 'yet,
when the House came to judge how much money
should be allowed for a specific objeft, it was
more regular and constitutional for the House
to, regulate the mode of effeCtuating that ob.
jed ; so that when Parliament came to. vote the
money to defray the expense of this matter, it
should state the number of days which' shall be,
occupied for this purpose. Nor was ,this at aii
entrenching upon the principle by which the °the(
branches of the Military Service of the. Country was
concluded, he meant
.that which was in any degree

on-

aoalogons to the present, the Militia: In that
Service, Parliament specified I.vhat money the Offi-
Cers and Men should be paid, and also the number
cf days the piivates should be trained and exercised,
and he did notasee Why Poliiament should not be as
distina and Specific on the saalljett of the Volunteer
Service as that of- the iviiiitia ; but this, again, he
did not mean. to discuss now, he merely threw it out
iii paisingo, as a matter fit hereafter to be discussed.
As to- the-means of instruaing the Volunteers by
Field eflizzi-s and Adjutants -from the Regular -Ser-
vice, ise threw that out . for the consideration. of
Mioistess ; he did not intend to produce any clause to
that effea ; but unquestionably if he did not see more
disposition • than had been hitherto shewn by
nisSers to Make some provision for that purpose, he
should feel it his duty to bring .forward a measure"
for that purpose for the consideration of Parliament,
not by way of clause it any for it would come

of -,„the, :appointment. of Officers of the Volun.
iesavaaon aiaaahich the Right Honourable Qentle-
men Agreed :it. was better not to make any
Legislative.: provision ; he -.originally thought so
toOppaind :-the• only doubt with him was, whether
something had not been rendered necessary - by the
point, having been so much and so unnecessarily
aurtier that the authority of the Legisla-
Or; Might set-':the matter ats rest. Upon the 'sub:.
jeCt ofaSignitig the Commissions of Officers in the.
Voluniterso he thought the practice which had hi.
therto been followed, that of giving them all the
Sign' Manual,: highly objeetionaple, not only. be,
tauSe! was so very laborious,' and in its 'nature
produalve of unavoidable delay, insomuch that Of-
feers -were obliged to 'wait for months for their
Commissions.; but alio because the thing was,a4-
?olotely unnecessary, fur they might be under the

same Regulations as the Commissions of the. Mil-
itia, which were signed by the Lieutenants of the
Counties, except in cases to which the Crown
did not assent. There: was another point on
which 'he had the misfortune still to differ from
the Right .Hon. Gentleman : he meant with regard
to the propriety of making.regulations to discipline
the Volunteer Corps by means of Parliamentary
provision, instead of leaving that matter to the dis-
cretion of Executive Government, and for regulating
their attendance, and taking due care of their arms,
&c. , He had prepared a clause upon that subjeft,
and which he must still offer, for he, would venture
to say, it was the general complaint of all Officers
of Volunteer Corps,that there were some among them
'who, not for want of any good will, for that he
knew the whole mass of them possessed in something
almost equal to perfedion, but from those, ideas
which were inseparable from all men who had not a
great deal of experience, did not bestow on the
office:of a Volunteer, that attention•which was ab.
solutely requisite to complete that charaCter. There
would beliusbandmen and there would be At tizans,
who would chuse to think that they were Soldiers,
somewhat sooner than their Officers might think
them entitled completely to that citaeaCier, the con-
sequence was that they would appear only on some
shewy day, when but little advantage was to be
obtained from the. drill. He did not say the Vo.
lunteers had not .done in general very well,,,but of
this he -was sure, that in one half the time they took
up at first they . would gain more than double the
knowledge, for it was in this, as in every thing
else, .it was after some knowledge was painfully
b 0-lined that knowledge was easily and rapidly ac-
and without more and, fuller attendance, per.
fettion was not to be obtained. He knew it was
very popular at present to say, that the essence of
the Volunteer System was to leave every thing to
voluntary exertion, that there was no necessity to
enact any thing, that the zeal oldie Volunteers would
do every thing, that there was nothing to fear from
their want of discipline-H-Isvluch of this sort of doc.
trine might be at present p pular, but it was a species
of popularity which a man who loved his Country
and who gravely considered its true interest, would
nor seek—He kne w the Volunteer Corps were a
body of men open to good sense, and he was of
opinion they might easily be persuaded in the bulk
to assent to some measures of compulsion, not that
they all needed compulsion to perform their duty,
but because some of them did ; for it was not un-
known to any Corps,that there were among them some
who were less often at the drill and less attentive
when there than others, so that when-they did attend
they not only manifested their own itnperfettiOns,
but from the nature of Military exercise they must,
of necessity impede the progress of others in their
improvement; and then there was some levity to be
expeaed from the age and habits of some of them,
so that to his mind moderate compulsion was in a
considerable degree essential to. their attaining
the height of military perfeetion, of which with
attention they were capable.. He knew it was more
popular to compliment them all, and to say that they
wanted nothing, _but he thought that pursuing this
course without enforcing.a
.system by which they
might be essentially improved, would be the highest
imprudence ; and here there was more necessity for
making some regulations than there had been in 'she
first instance ; since Parliament had formerly enact.
ed particular matters positively, and then said that
-such other rules and
-regulations should be adopted
as to His Majesty should seem meet, thereby evi.
dently conveying an idea that many things would
seem meet to be done by way of rules and regula-
tions which.were not specified or pointed out by that
law ; but to His Majesty's Executive Government
nothing did seem meet to be done,beyond the strid
provisions of that Statute, which amounted to a hint
toParliament, by way of caution, that if they wanted
any thing to bedone,, they must ena:i it specifically ;
that if they trust to-the ExecutiVe Government to do
any thing more than was duly set down for them, e
Parliament would be disappointed ; therefore, if
there were any, Rules and Regulations at all neces-
sary,. Parliament must point them out, or they would
never be adopted, for which reason lie had in his
pocket a clause for this•purpose,which he should here.
after offer to the House... There was a declaratory
Clause in the Bill at present, -which related to the
power of Resignation in a Volunteer, which, in the
present condition of things, required one alteration,
and that was:• to (Urn every
..negative in it into an
affirmative declaration. A doubt had been once en-
tertained as to what was intended by the• Legis-
lature as to the power of Resignation of a Volun-
teer ; upon the opinion of the most eminent in rank,
in the profession of the Law, not upon the Bench,
and not ,more eminent in rank than in talents and
abilities, nor inure eminent in either, than he. was

which render a man justly estimable in life ; he

if they had.not so decided they would have brought

very persons now declare that Law ? They now left
the day in blank in' the Bill to be filled up by -the
Committee ; and as' to the Law which the Court of
King's Bench hach.cfecided, saying that a Volunteer
might resign in any manner, and when he thinks pro,

Au.tisioN was again last night made in the
House of Commons to His MAJSSTY'S Indispo-
sition. Mr. GREY declares himself dissatisfied with
the vague and ambiguous declarations of Ministerc,
and expresied his intention of making some specific
Motion on the subject in the course of the ensuing
week. That there is some inconsistency in the
conduft of Ministers is obvious—they tell us that
His MAJESTY is rerfedly competent to execute
all the fundions of his high office, yet the Prime
•Minister last night says, ." that he.had'not had per-

• WE can assert, from the most authentic information,
that BONAPARTE has never desisted,
.for a moment,
from his Preparations to invade us—he has gone on
continually.acconulating those preparations. The
reason of his having done so, we 'can state as con.;
fidently—several of hisCenerals refused to take corn.
'mands upon the Plan originally proposed, as totally
inadequate to the objet to be accomplished—it was
therefore' necessary to undertake the whole upon.
scale of a very different magnitude—and- it.is'
the immense preparations he has made which have,
induced many to' join in the undertaking who- had':
before positively refused.—But we have been pre.'
paring too ; and we have no doubt that the value'
of- our preparations more than balances the advan_,
tages he would have derived from a sudden and early
at tack. •

Unless a further advance is made of I fall a Million of Cross.

of giving them further support, and addition7l

that_the species of Force which we now hea

of an Armed Peasantry that objeCt would be effeae°4

jea to look to in case the attempt is mule to in/at,
us ? Certainly to proteft the Capital. And does
man believe that an Armed Peasantry, in the Coturt

to penetrate, would materially protea ag3i,ine,,,°
