HOUSE OF COMMONS,

TUILSDAY, AtIOUNT Z.

We have been favoured %.v.114„ some furtheryarti.
calars of the important Pehate• on. Tuesday night

opened the Debate with his
opinion that lilies of intretichment were necessary
for the Wiener of the Kingdom, and entered into a
lung hi.tnry of, military odic* to enforce his•argu.
ment ; and was much surprised Ministers had not had
tecontse, to such a great measure of defence as the
service's of the heir Apparent would be, but which
he understood they had declined. He appeared
fully master of his subjett, spoke with great ani.
tns~ti{in, denying that party bad the smallest Ou-
elver upon his condua, 'and conducted with moving
a Resolution, whickhe afterwards withdrew to give
way to Mr. Fox's. Address tOthe King on the sub.
jet of a Military. Council.
The SscurrA.lty at WAR, in reply, combated
:mit of 'the sentiments Of the Colonel ; admitted,
however, bi general, a Council of War to be, an ad.
vi,able measure, but in the present instance it was
a aiCt:et attack 'opon.the management of the, Army,
as diretied by the luxe 'of Yotot,
f?.RsxINE-denied in any instance the use
of intrenclonents, and maintained that they were.
never wed withodt loss 'to those depending upon
them. Fin said he should vote for the Council of
War, but desired to have it understood it was not
.this :parsictilar occasion that inclined him so to do,
but he had
,always thought such an establishment
was a necessary One, and that it ought to be a per.
malent one.

Sir FRANC ti BURDITT stated, that till the griev
aoccs of the People were lightened, unanimity could
n tt he eXnedeti.
Mr. BARHAM. Sir,. I pretend not to know
much of military mutts, and will, assuredly not
detain the House from hearing those who RTC
more (ratified to speak on such subjeas. Ido
indeed think that the establishment of a Council
Of War would be of the utmost importance under
the ptesent circumstaoces, and without meaning
the least disparagement to the 'dustrinus Person
at the head of the Army, I may add.my fullest per-
suasion that such is the general sense of the public ;but
w hat 'chiefly rise to speak on, is what every man may
be supposed equally competent ter` judge upon ; I
mean the extraordinaty circumstance mentioned
by the Honourable Offietr, namely, that His Ma.
jcsty's Ministers should have advised him to
decline the services of the Heir Apparent, for
whose birthright, combined with our own inde.
pendence, we have now to contend.—When
first heard this,' I really had a difficulty in belieu..
lug thereport ; not that / doubted that that Illustri-
ous Perim age would, as it became him, demand his
proper station on the present occasion. No, Sir, I
koew that the natural gallantry of his charader, his
love of the Country, anti the interest he has in its
&feller, would not suffer hire to rest unless lw ob-
tained his full share of the danger, and his due
chance of the glory that must follow. But, Sir, I
c. Old not believe that any Ministers could be so
blind to the advantages which the Countty might
derive from such an example, as not to give the full.
test , efirtf to the imnulse and animation it would give
the People, when they saw, that from none of the
41 ogees which they hail themselves to encounter, the
Heir Atpareot would he exempt. And as Servants
of the Crown arid lovers of die Monarchy, I did
thiok that they would rejoice in furnishing an op.
itnity to the Son of a beloved Sovereign to dis.
tioguish himself, as he is qualified to do, and to
endear himself to the People whom he is one day to
govern. This !natter is so extraordinary, that I
think Parliament bound to denind some account
of it, and if His Majesty's Ministers should not
be &posed to' give such account, I hope there
are tlose its this House cormated with his Royal
Highness, who will, in justice to him, give the
(tallest t ion upon the subjvtt ; fur if the Coon.
try. is to be deprived of the services which that 11.
Itistrions Person may render it, it is at least but
jkotice to him (and indeed of importance also to the
Coulon) ) that it should he known hOw the fan
s lauds ; and that if it he thought fit, when all classes
sod r toks of men me obeying the voice Of their
COuntry, to mark as unfit to have any share, that
persoo st ho has the greatest stake to defend in it,
all the circumstances should be in the possession of
the Public.
1 know very it ell I shall be told, this is a deli.
care et, and that it is Wet feting with the
Prerogative. Sir, 1 respell the Prerogative as
much as any mmn, feel all the delicacy that is
dor to the subjett ; bin that is uodue revere' to the
plerogative, which would Clin! Parliament to ex.
ress art Opinion up' n what may be of the highest
importance to the Country ; anti that is no trite de.
licacy, which would inquiry into what will
add the hormor of the party'.
Mr. Tv awn " Mr. Speaker, an Illustrious
Per,ooage, to is hose family I have the honour to
" be sheered, h. it,g been 60 &Melly iilllitiCti to by
" elite. 11,0, GrMiCitiels who have pr'ceded me, I Can

,us to he Placed i,t auk military ,iittraciorr
" to which His Majesty might be pleased to call

hilYl, which wishes have been mule known to His

'' ,jesty's Ministers.
" I esteem it my duty,'alsn, Sir, here to declare
(qt-eating any imputation which might be.
" thrown upon a chtiaCter of such value to us all to
preserve unshaded), that if the services of the
" lostrious Personage aludecl to have been rejected,
'' 1 have po&of the bolt d,:es nat lay at the dour of
" the Comm older in Chief."
Mr. HAWKINS BROWNV spoke considerable
length, and drew an anittlit,ed picture of what the
People had to expt.(t fr,mn French Liberty, and ex.
honed them to skew the utmost energy in such a
_ _

Mr. CHAPMAN (a New Member) was particu.
larly co►nplimentary to the Heir Apparent, said
that he had not the pleasure of being personally
known to him, but said that in the Country to

.- •
which he belonged (Wales) nothing would invt.
Borate the inhabitants so much as the idea that they
might, as in times of old, be headed by such an 11.
lustrious Prince.
Mr. ALEXANDER Spoke at some length, and'
strongly reprobated the do trines of Sir Francis
'Butdett.
Mr. FRANCIS made a very eloquent speech, in
which he animadverted with great strength on the
treatment which his Royal Highness had received.
Lord KENSINGTON was 'decidedly
.fur a Council
of War; as was Sir R. WILLI/04i.
Mr. Fox rose, and enforced the necessity of
a Council of War, Mr. F. was peculiarly ani•

mated upon the subjea of the PRANCE of WALE*,
and upon that of Ireland. " What can be
the reason (said he) that you refuse the set
vices of the Heir Apparent ? Is he too old ?
Is he too young ? Did you make him a Colo.
nel 2t years ago by way of douceur, as a little
pecuniary aid ? Is he not known to be in the vtry
prime of life; at the very period man is capable of
the utmost energy I I expea from Ministers the
reason he is thus treated, and so will the Country."
He concluded with moving the following Amend.
merit :

That an Address be presented to His Majesty, praying that
he would be graciously pleased to appoint a Military Coan...
cif, consisting of General Officers, and such others as to His.
Majesty shall seem fit, for the purpose of giving their ad.
vice when called upon by His Majesty, respeCting the Defence
Of the Country, and of being consulted occasionally, or from
day to day if necessary, by the Commander in Chief, and
His Majesty's Ministers, upon that important subjecl.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER answer.
ed many of the arguments of Colonel Crawford, and
with regard to the PRINCE Of WALES, he said,
" No man is more ready to bear attestation to the
feelings so worthy at the rank and charader of
" the Illustrious Personage alluded to, than I am,
" Having made this declaration, I must here pause,
" and declate that nothing short of the commands
"of the King, and the united authority of this
" House, shall in future ever Compel me to say one
" word upon the subject."
Mr. W;N011A111 most 'strongly enforced the rte.
cessity at a Council of War, and thought at all
events the PRINCE should have a command, for
which no man was mare fir.
General' MAITLAND Spoke against the 'Lotion,
and maintained that there was already a.Council of
War, to all intents and purposes, now existing.
Mr. CALCRAPT began by replying to some parts
of General MAtland's speech, tespeding the Coup.
cil of War, and stated, that the nomination of it
was to be in the Executive Government, who halo.
it in their power to aelta many eminent Officers,
Naval and Military, now unemployed, and who,
in 'his opinion, it would be unpardonable to leave
unconsulted in the present State of affairs.. He meant
no disresped 'to the Commander in Chief, who
could not be in Council and the Field at the same
time, The Right Hon. gentleman (Mr. Addin4-
ton) had rested his °Nation to the proposal, prince.
pally upon a want of precedent, which did not in
his mind signify. The crisis was without pie-
cedent, 'and our measures' to meet it had been,
and must be so, and he liked them the better for
it, as they, were most congenial to the occasion.
It had been said, rearospedien was useless ; he
could not, however, forbear from it, in a question
which involved the defence of the Country. And, it
did not appear to him,that those which had been taken
for the defence had'inverted the true end rational or.
der of proceeding ; the last should have been first,
and the grand arming of this Country, of which all
approved, would have laid the hest foundation fur
these Others that had taken place fir the Supple.
mental}, Militia and the Army of Reserve. litit
what he most complained of, was a repetititin of
What he had formerly stated, that we had negleded
the leading feature in our defence, the Line ; nu
efficient measures had been taken for recruiting it
as Line ; on the contrary, by the mode we had
adopted, as recommended by His Majesty's Mini.
stets, we had turned the Line into Fencibles;
After saying a good deal upon these topics, he ad..
verted to those which had induced him to
,persist in
offering himself to the SPEAKER'S notice, which he
should have continued to do even if the House had
been much later. He meant that part of the dis.
cussion which alluded to the PRINCE of WALES;
nor was he at all satisfied with what the Minister
had at last deigned to :say upon that subject, for it
was left in a state of uncertainty and doubt highly
unbecoming, nay even the final answer to the app_
cation which did that Illustrious Charader so much
honour, hat not been stated to the House. An lion.
Gentleman (Mr. H. BROWNS), who had treated this
subject in a most, extraordinary manner, had been
pleased to say, Ministers are responsible for the ad.
vile they give the Crown, and in the next Sessions
they will account fur what they have advised this
Sessions of Parliament ; said Mr. C., do Gentlemen
consider what may intervene Is it not the opinion
of many, that the Crown may be fought .foe on
English ground before that period ?—and, is it de.
cent, is it shewing that sincere attachment to the
Monarchy, that the PRINCE Of WALES should re.
main, tinting such an, interval, without a suitable
pose 'ass igned him to share in the contest; and parti.
cipate in the triumph, the. very dangers of which
most endear him to his'Cuuntrymen, who are one
day to he his.Subjeds ?
Is' this alvice to give the Monarch ? But, if there
are rem.oitS of state Zvi his narrow view could not
penetrate, which it could not imagine, orantiCipatc,
it it at least, fitting the Direr, its manner and detail,

should' be known to the Country—and I should
have thought the Minister, if he bad felt all the sin.
verity he professes, would have hada loyal satilic..•
tion in dilating upon the subjeEt, and detailing it to
the House.
The PRINCE of WAL vs has been a Colonel in the
Army from the year 1782. His brother is a Field
Marshal and Commander in Chief. Three younger
brothers Lieutenant-Generals. And you leave the
Hcir Apparent to the Monarchy to fight for that
Crown which be one day is to wear, as a Colonel of
a Regiment, under the command of* Major. General,
his own &perry.
- The Honourable Gentleman concluded by_ passing
a handsome eulogium upon the PRINCI WALIS,
expressing the highest moped for his. e!)aratter on
,every consideration.
Mr. SMITH (of Norwich) paid very handsome
compliments to the PRINCE) and was convinced his
being employed was a measure of deience.expefted
by the Country.
Mr. SHIRIDAN said a few words; as did Colo-
nels HUTCHINbON and Wow), who supported the
necessity of a Military Council.
After this the House divided—.

WIDNISDAYS AUO. 3.
LORD StOPFOILD informed the House, that His
Majesty was waited on with the Address of Mon_

day last, and would be graciously pleased to give
directions accordingly.
Mr. BKAGOB moved that the Lords' Amendments
in the Bristol Port Bill be taken into further con.
sideration,

Mr. HENDERSON, after a few observations,
moved that the Amendments be considered this day

ree months ; which was negatived, and the Amend,

ments were ,then read 'and agreed to.
Mr. YORKE moved to bring in a Bill for amend-
ing the National Defence Act. The first Clause '
would give His Majesty power to suspend the ope.
ration of the comoisive part of the Aft, where re
less number than three.fourths or the First Class
come forward as Volunteers. The next Clause
provided'a regulation for those persons who mien
leave one place'of residence for another. The Bill
also grants an indulgence to those_ persons who are
subject to the letter of the A. and who may at
present'be out of the KingdOm, as. well as those
whose business calls.thcm to different parts of the
Country ; lidded to which there are some regulations
with respea to IST,ol.Clininissioned Officers.
Leave being granted,
The SECRETARY at WAR brought in the Bill,
which was read .a first and second time, and com-
mitted for to-morrow,

The Scotch Army of Reserve Amendment Bill
was read a third time anti passed,
The Treaty Bill was read a second time,
and ordered to be read a third time to.m.yrrow.
The AT TORNEY GENERAL said, the ()Ned
of the Bill.he was about to move far leave to bring
in, was to prevent the fotgery of Bills of Exchange,
anti Foreign Promissory Notes. Offences of the
nature this Bill went to remedy had arrived at an
alarming height, and the Magistrates of the Coon.
try Were enitt led to great raise fur the many
discoveries of persons who have gone about the
Country passing these counterfeit Notes. He should
therefore move for leave .to bring in x Bill to the
aboVe stated. Leave granted. •
The Hon. Gentleman brought in the,Bill, which
was read a first, and ordered to be read a second
time to.morrowr
• The LORD MAYOR moved to bring in a Bill
to empower the Lieutenanrcy of the City of 'London
to carry into drat the National Defence Bill.

On leave being granted, his Lordship brought in
the SW, which was read a first and second.times,
and orilere4 to he read a t;tita time to-morrow.

The Report of the Bonding and Warehousing Bill
was brought up, the House went into a Committee
on the Bill.

Mr. PANSITTART observed, where a Port
has not the aCCOMlllOthit 1011 required, that privilege
should be granted to extend them.
On the House being resumed, the Report was
ordered to-morrow.

The Report of the Committee appointed to take
into consideration the Irish 'Navigation Bill was
brought up and agreed to.
Mr. Coa Y moved that it be an instruction to the
Committee upon the Bill respelling the Importation
of Goods into Ireland in Neutral Ships, to make
provisions according to the Resolutions of thi said
Committee.
On the Order of the Day being read for the
House to go into a Committee on the Prize Court
Bill,
Mr, JOHNSTONE entered at considerable:
length into the state of the Prize Court of this
Country, and complained of the present proceed.
ings, as far as they apply to the delay attending
causes in the Prize Court.- The Hon. Gentleman
said as the rules of praelice now existed, the greatest
evils would arise to those persons whose causes
went into the Court in question The judges who
are Commissioners in the Admiralty Court, having
so great a portion of public duty of variou4 elescrip.
firms, were unable to give much time to the business
of the Prize Court ; it was therefore impossible
that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman who now
presides over the Prize Court should be able to get
through s; niu6h buiincst unassisted. He should
theretore pro ose that the Master of the Rolls, the
Admiralty judge, and nine other judges should

meet the first day of every Sitting', an' eintrttot
to tit, for the speedy dispatch of puh'ic husioess..
The lion. Gentleman moved that an io ru.tiion he
given to the Committee to adopt a method fir the
more speedy decision Of Appeals.
Sir WM. SCI/Tsaid, he was ready to sul)scr;he
to any measures that would either serve this
Government, or those with whom we are con.
neeled, but he thought the plan recom,nended by
the Honourable Gentleman, namely, the associ•
ation of the Common Lau/ Juiges with the judge
of the Prize Court, notwithstanding their great
legal acquirements and the many accomplishments,
which render them the ornaments of the Country,
would not go to remedy the tiefeA complained-of,
as the Rules of Praetice in the Acl,niralty Courts,
are different from the Commln Law Courts, and
which constitutes a study of itself, added to which
those learned and legal Ornaments of the Stare had
already more busineskthan dui could well dispatch,
and of such a various description, that it would be
impossible for them to give their attention to the
subjet in question. The Learned and Honourable
