Hottse:l. • -
On the
vlbjea of the Caledonian Canal, a conversation ,
took place,between the Earl of Sur iOt.K, Lord A ucli x.n N D,
'and the Duke of ••Nlo NiT ROS E. The Nobitt Earl praised the
condud of Ministers. with respect to the undertaking. in
_question, but thought the stuns allowed' by no means large
'enough fOr • the 'purpose i 'and' +l6 .14like .of -Mobi4ttoss
thought Ministers deserving of 'tbechigheSt commendation ;
not only for what they had done in regard to that great 'Na-
tional Concern, the Caledonian- Canal; but tot' the ' Roads

The. Outer of the Day for summoning their
Lordships *being read, " -- - ;•
' The Earl :f 'SUFFOLK rose to- rriakeo liS tit°.
raised motion with respea •to the Defence of the
Country; He prefaced it with a: speech of some
length, wherein he:recapitulated-most of the leading
arguments he had on former periods- advanced upon
the titibied ; First,." adverting to -the Volunteer
Rill, he observed, that much of the splendid ta-
lents of . oppositiod were wasted in . animativer. ,
sions upon the Measure-f•and in discussing points
which .were of no -essential service. He was
convinced .that the conduct of Ministers with re-
spea to interpreting and carryipg into effed many
of the points in question, would be proper and Li.
beral, as it had been on former occasions. With
respea to • the condo 't of Ministers in regard
to the Defence of the Country, he had much
to disapprove; much of what might easily be ef-
feCted, was left undone; and in other instances, as
in the case-of the Barrack eredions, much needless
expence incurred. -,He recommendedothe ereaion
of Martello Towers om the moat accessible parts of
the Coasts, and the creating a central depOt, at
which a numerous Volunteer:Force may be pericidi.
tally assembled. • - He thought regular fortresses
should be•ereEled in different parts of the Country.
He lamented the non-emi;:oyment of,Offieers ofolis-
tinguished talents, and adverted to the promotion:of
Earl MOT WA to the Chief Command in Scotland,
withootoat the:same' timt allowing him .the usual
appointments.of that station :`
'that great anct.good
Officer had long been negleaed, and • suffered tto
• remain-a unregimenteri -even to- the, -present, mo-
' trttnir white junior Officers were constantlypreferred
to Regiments. • For 20 years past be hudeonly
about zool. a year from Government ; while his
zeal •for the Military service of the Country
iodated him to expend large sums from his
own fortune. He censured: the limiting the
number of Volunteers in the Maritime Counties,
particularly in 'Kent. After a variety of subordi-'
tttl nate propositions, the .Noble • Earl concluded by
moving for the appointment of a Committee. to in-
quire into the measures adopted for the Defence.of
the Country, in order -to.ascertain how far the same
are adequate to the menaced danger.
- Lard- fI,AWKESBURY spoke shortly in answer
to the Noble Earl : he deprecated any thing which
took away their Lordships' attention from the very
•imporoiot subjeE for some time under consideration,
and which would require some days longer to bring
to the necessary degree of perfection. Under the
preSenOcirconistances, he thought the adoption of
such a Motion would he rather injurious than other-
wise. On much of what was advanced, the House
had already decided. He denied that any' grounds
had been .laid to shew the necessity of such an expe-
client.. Besides, he was far from thinking Corn.
mitiees of Parliament the most proper •means of
attaining the objects 'in question. He contended
the present Arrangements were perfealy,adequkte
. .
to the exigencies, of the case, and adVerted to-the
opportunities which the Commander in Chief had of
recurring' to the highest military authority in the
Country. He felt it is duty to Oppose the Motion.
'The question was then put and the Motion nega-
tived.
The House then resolved into ' a 'Committee on
the Volunteer Bill, Lord WALiINGH AM in the
Chair. .
Their Lordships prOceeded With the diseessiort of
the Clauses and Provisions of the Bill, and which
gave rise to a great deal of Conversation orb tieo
bate, in which Lords GR.Et4V ILIA?, HAWICESIFURI,
the LORD CHANCELLOR, Earl SPENCER, the Duke
of IVlomtoss,'and Lord KING, were the principal
Speakers. A few , amendments were made, and a
variety of others, proposed by opposition Peers,
rejeEted. On an amendment proposed by Lord Git 4N-
V I LL Ir, in Clause 19, respecting change or residence,
&c. and iiiiog •it- at the- given 'distance of six

Clauses,- the CHAIRMAN was direaed to report
