LOYALTY LOAN.

• The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
.observed there was in the Order Book a Notice,
signifying the intention of an Hon. Member of that
lioase to bring forward a subjeet which had before
been stated to him,; it was a Motion intended to be
made ,on behalf of the Holders of a Loan, usually
denominated the Loyalty Loan.—He must be par-
*dbi::ll for saying; that- as he did not hear, :Irenow
..read; of this Notice with a considerable degree of
surprize,• because he did not understand it to be the
of -Gentlemem.coocerried on that subjea to bring
irforwa-rd in that- shape, although it had been de..
-Sired' that virile decision should take place upon it
frev ion to the sth of. April, The matter was of
importance, and after having considered the question
upon the merits, to the best of his power, and having
waited on the ATTORNEY and SOL,ICITOR
GENE-
RAt. with a statement of the case, he requested their
opinion upon‘ it, Their opinion was, that the Sub-
scribers to the Loan of 1796, were not under the
letter, nor apparently within the equitable con-
StraftiOn of the law made for the regulation of that
su!jed, entitled to payment of their proportions at
par, previous to the stir of April 1865. •
The Bill for the Augmentation of the Militia of
ireiand to an extent and for a time to be-limited,
wds brought up, and read a first tithe. On the
question for the second reading,

DEM' observed, that when a Bill was
brought in, in consequence of
.the apprehension 'of
an Invasion, it was, in his opinion, proper the
Ito Use should be informed by Ministers, whether
in theii-apiiiihen-sion, that event was more probable
tiow than it was a month ago.
The SECRETARY at WAR reminde3,the Honour-
-21-11e Gentleman that this was only a• Bill for pro-
viding fur the augmentatiorrof the Militia Force of
Ireland.

Mr. PENT side, it was a Bill foi providing
means to replace a certain Miliniry Force in
Fr.d, which was aboui to be called from thence, on
a.e•spunt of the exigencies of the present war, and,
therefore, his question to the Minister was perfeCtly
reasonable. What -he wanted to know was, wile.
titer Great Btitain was in more danger now of In.
vAon than it had been a month ago ; and if it was,
tynerher Ireland was not also in as great danger as
Great Britain, from the same apprehension, for un-
less Great Britain was in greater danger now than
it had been a month ago, Ministeis would not pre-
tend that the measure was necessary. if the dan-
ger was greater now to this Country than it was a
Month ago, but that danger was equal to Ireland as
tO this Country, then the measure would be ineffi.
He was not singular in the opinion, that
the disappointment would be great, indeed, unless
the Militia of this Country made a similar offer to
jeeland, as the Irish Militia did to come here.
t.nis was a matter which required some expiana..
The SECRETARY at WAR contendeti, that
the observations of the Honourable Gentleman who
just spoken, had no application to the Bill now
()dere the House, which was merely a Bill for the
augmentation of the Militia of. Ireland, and the Ho.
nottlable Gentleman had not offered any reason why
that Military Force should • not be augmented.
The observations of the Honourable Gentleman
seemed to have been intended to apply to another
.1;t11 which had been disposed of for the present,
namely, the Bill -to empower His Majesty to accept
of the services of those Militias of Ireland, who
Shall voluntarily offer themselves for the service of
this Coontry. When that -subjea came .again for-
ward for discussion, it woul,d be proper to, take no.
rice of the observations of the Honourable Gentle_
4'oo iT---at.preV;nt, they were pot in scoop,

c lent

Mr. DENT said, that although in striEtneas this
was not the Bill to which his observations were ap-
plicable, yet in point of commonsense, the obseri-:
vations were not out of season, for. this Bill was
part of the same system as the other Bill.
-:4-The SECRETARY at WAR moved, that the Bill
be read a second time to-morrow se'nnight. •
Mr. IC NNAIRD objeaed to that day, on account
of its being she same as that for which the former
Bill stood ; and that both ought not to be discussed
in one day.
The SECRETARY at WAR observed, that as
both the Bills were upon the same system, Gentle-
men on the other side of the House should not ob-
jed to the discussion of them, upon the same day.

M►. CANNING said, that this was at least ad_
mitting that the apology made by an Honourable
Gentleman (Mr. DENT), for speaking upon one of
the Bills, when it was said, his observations applied
to the other, was correct. • _ _

Lord FOLKESTONE said a few words, after
which the Bill was ordered to be read a second time
this day se'nnight.
IVir.o ALC RAFT moved an Address to His Ma-
jesty, that he will be pleased to give direetions for
laying before the House a List of the Regiments of
the Irish Militia, who had made voluntary offers
of their services, to be employed in any part of
Great Britain during the War, specifying the date
of each offer, and the number of them, &c.—Or-
dered.

On the third reading of the Irish Militia Fami-
lies'Bill,
Mr. CURRY took occasion to observe, for the
satisfadion of Gentlemen who took an interest in
this event, and in answer to the (Nation which
had been taken to this measure, on account of the
distance that the objeds of it were to travel to ob-
tain their allowpce, that there were three places
to which sueh parties had an Opportunity of resort-
ing :--the Treasurer of the County, the Collator
of the Excise, and the Collator of the Assess-
ments, &c. ; so that the families of the Militia of
Ireland had their relief and assistance as it were at
their own docir.

The Bill was Olen read a third time, and passed.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved, I
that this House do at its rising adjourn to this day
,sennight.—Ordered.
Mr. ALEXANDER brought up the Report of the
Committee of :Ripply of •.yesterday, when the Com-
pensation was voted to my Lord Hoop., and the
Officers and men under his command, for the value
of the ships taken at Toulon in the last War.
The Report being proposed to be read,
Mr. CALCRAFT said, that if a proposition
which he had to make should be acceded to, he
should have nothing; further to say at present upon
the subjeff, which proposition was, that this matter
should stand over for the Recess. If that was not
asserited to, he must make some observations on
the case ; and not finding his request was likely to
be granted, he proceeded to make his observations,
which consisted chiefly of those ,which had been
already hinted at, that of the Minister's having
first brought the matter forward as a question of
-eight, and then as a question of liberality. The
first had been given up; as to the second, it was a
'captivating word, and it was difficult to resist it at
any time, but More especially when so meritorious
and so favourite a class of persons were the objects
of it, as the Officers and men of our Navy ; but
Captivating as these topics were to the mind, yet
under all the circumstances of the present time, he
thought the House would not be justified in loading
their Constituents with this charge, without at least
more time to Consider it than the House had hither-
to been able to appropriate for that purpose. Hav-
ing expatiated upon these and other topics for a con-
siderable time, he moved that this report be taken
into consideration this day se'nnight.
The question being put,
Sir JOHN NICHOLLS said, that after the dis-
cussion of yesterday, he should have hoped it would
have been thought 'unnecessary for him to have
troubled the House. He agreed that Members of
the House ought to be careful about voting the mo-
ney of their Constituents, and particularly in such
times as thd present ; but he must also say, that
the House owed a duty to the Public not to with-
hold money frotn those who claimed it on just occa-
sions, and there never was a more just occasion
than the present one. He should not enter into the
detail of this Case, nor should he argue at length
the qdestion, whether this was an application to the
justice or to the liberality of the House ? If it
were necessary to contend that this was a matter of
right, on behalf of the gallant Officers and Men en-
gaged in that enterprize, he should feel very little
difficulty in supporting that right.---[Here he stated
the circumstances of the case, of the taking the
fleet at Toulon, and of its being done by my Lord
Hood, and the Officers and Men under his com-
mand, in trust for the House of Bourbon, then the
objet of restoration to the Throne of France, or
until Peace should he made.] Now Peace had been
made, and in that Peace tins Country had acknow-
ledged a Government which excluded the restora.
tion of the &urban Family horn the Throne
of France, and there was an end of one part of the
Condition on which these Ships were taken, name.
ly, that they were taken in trust for the Bourbon
Family ; the other part of the Condition came' into
full force, namely, that they should be the property
of the British upon the conclusion of Peace. So
that if upon this the Captors had sued for the con.
demnation of these Ships, they must have been con_
denined as lawful prize to the Captors. The Pub.
lic had had the use of these .Ships for many years ;
the Public had no claim whatever to them ; as to
the Public and the Captors, there could be no question
whatever ; there might be between the Crown and
the Captors. The Crown had relinquished its right,
and now the question was neither more nor -
less than this—whether the Public should not pay
for that of which they had had the benefit ? A
question too plain to admitof a doubt; and he thought
there was a great deal of mcdesty on the part of the
Claimants in this case, that they did not ask for In-
terest, &c. although the Public had had the use of
these Ships for ten years ; nothing was now asked
but their original value. He should indeed wonder
if such an application as this was unsuccessful in that
House. lie admired the liberality and. forbearance
of the gallant Officets who were the Ca irors in this

case,- but he should neither admire the liberality of
the House, nor be able to say much in support of
its justice, if it.did-not assent to this .application.
Colonel WOOD opposed any grant of Monet,
and thought that Lord Hoop ought rather to pay
for the Ships he had destroyed.
Mr. T. JONES thought it would be of serious
consequence if it was to be understood that our
Officers and Seamen, who, destroyed Ships belong_
ing to the Enemy, were to pay for them (a loud
latigh).
Mr. SHERIDAN said, he had read the Papers
relating to this subject with considerable surprise ;
but at the same time' he did not consider this an at
which belonged to the charaCter of the present Ad-
ministration, but as one%equeathed to them as a
legacy by their Predecessors. The Learned Gen-
tleman (Sir JOHN NICHOLLS) had compared the
operation of Lord Hoot) at Toulon to the victories
of Aboukir and Copenhagen ; but it never appear.
ed.to him in that point of view, and he had on a
former occasion opposed voting thanks to Lord
Hoop upon the ground there was something dis.
graceful in the transaction. It had been said that
Lord HOOD sealed the destruction of the French
Navy ; but six months afterwards sixteen sail of
the line sailed out of Toulon harbtsur. The Learn-
ed Gentleman (Sir JottxHoees) had said, that
the Public had no right to the Prizes; but did he
mean to say, that the Public, who fitted out Fleets,
had no right to the captures made by these Fleets ?
The right certainly was vested in the Crown, but
it must be understood to be for the benefit of the Pub-
lic. As to the French Ships destroyed, he believed!Sir
SIDNEY SMITH did more in that way than Lord
Hoop ; and he made it a subjeCt of complaint
against Lord HOOD, upon a former occasion, that
he had left a great number of the Ships, and a large
quantity of Stores, at Toulon, undestroyed. The
blame of this, however, rested with the Commander
in Chief, and not with the other Officers, or the
Seamen and Marines ; hut, in this case, what was
to become of the distribution ? How many of the
Persons employed upon that occasion were now
alive ? No previous inquiry had been made upon
that subject. The only Paper they had was of all
others the most useful document to ground any pro-
ceeding upon. *lf, as the Learned Gentleman had
said, Lord HOOD was entitled to the condemnation
of the Ships, why not make the claim ? Upon
looking at the Paper on the Table, he found there
were Ships marked to the number of nine, which
it was stated in a memorandum had never been
brought out of Toulon. If they had never been
brought out, how they could be valued as having
been employed in His Majesty's service he -could
not conceive. He thought there was not a sufficient
justification in the Papers before the House to grant
the remuneration asked for.
The MASTER of the ROLLS said, that in the
pradice of States, as well as the condua of Indivi:
duals,' there might be demands which they were
bound to comply with, although there was no posi-
tive law upon the subject ; they were bound to do
what they ought not to abstain from doing. From
the reign of Queen Ann to the present moment the
Country bad never derived benefit from Captures
,without renumerating the Captors: What ground
was there in this instance for their breaking in
upon the uniformity of proceeding in these cases ?
Lcrrd HOOD could have presteeded to cons
demnation in the COUrt- of Admiralty, there 'was
no occasion to come to the House, and surely
it would not be contended that the House was
never to be liberal except in these cases where
they had no discretion. The Ships in question
were part of the Enemy's force, and might have
remained so if it had not been for the exertions of
Lord Hoop. Lord Hoop had ulterior objects in
view, and therefore abstained from exercising the
stria rights of War ; it thus became a qualified sot.
render, and this was an obstacle to proceeding in the
Court of Admiralty ; but the prejudice to the
Enemy was not less. To postpone this subject,
upon the suggestion, that it the old French Mo.
narchy was restored, the Ships ought to be restored
to that Government, might be delaying it for ever,
'upon the mere possibility of that Government be-
ing re.instated ; but surely there must be a limit
to such condition. All the facts relating to the
capture of the Ships were notorious : all the Papers
which were necessary had been laid upon the Table,
and he trusted that the claim would be acceded to,
'founded as it was in justice.
Mr. SHERIDAN and the
MASTER of the ROLLS
severally explained.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ad,
mitred that eight or nine Vessels were stated to have
been brought out of Toulon ; but the fart was, that
these Vessels were manned with British Seamen,
and carried the British Flag ; they were employed
in our service in the Mediterranean during the Sum-
mer of 1793, and were finally destroyed by the
batteries of the Enemy. The whole amount of the
value of these did not exceed 7,0001. With re_
sped to the distribution of the Money, it was only
intended to issue it in such proportions as claims
should be made out, and whatever should remain
unclaimed at the end of three years, would go to
the Fund of Greenwich Hospital. He repeated
that this was a claim upon the justice, of the
House. He was sorry to hear the Hon. Gentleman
(Mr. SHERIDAN) say, that this measure was not
consistent with the character of the present Mini.
sters. He wished it to be understood, that it was
exclusively their own measure, and that they had no
communication on the subject with their predeces-
sors.

Mr. BANKES wished to know out of what Fund
this sum must have been paid, if there •had been no
application to the House.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied,
out of the Naval Supplies of the year.
Mr. JOHNSTONE contended, that Lord }-looD was
not in a situation to deserve so large a remunera-
tion.

Mr. ALEXANDER contended, that Lord HOOD
was entitled to the proposed remuneration, both in
Justice and equity.
Mr. BURROUGHS argued strongly in favour of
the Resolution ; the proceedings adverted to were
part of the sys,ern of warfare, arid suiely, it was
not for that reason the Noble Admiral should lose
the right which attached to'him in that capacity.—
On otincip:es of public justice, imicuoi,l '

the arguments of the Right Hon. and Learned aer.-
tleman on the floor; it was clear in point of law,
that the Prerogative attached to such cap-
tures as those under consideration nay, under such
circumstances, the King might make a grant of them
by his own authority ; but Ministers coming to
Parliament as they had done, was highly deserving
of approbation.
.V..r,LAWRENCE argued at some length in sup-,
port of the Amendment. He at first adverted to
the magnitude of the sum. He asked when it was
that due reward was nor given to those who merited
it, in the way in which the Noble Admiral did-
'He was ready to agree as to the King's right of
granting, in such a case, by virtue of his prero-
gative ; but the case brought before Parliament, as
it was, they should have some better ground to go.
upon than a Report of the Privy Council. He
claimed, as a Member of Parliament, that some
means be given of exercising their judgment upon that
which they were called upon to grant. He could refer
to every case which occurred from the reign of
Anne downwards. It was unnecessary to have ad'
verted to the repeated votes of thanks passed br
that House to the Noble Lord in question. Fle
duly appreciated his meritorious conduet on the CC'
casion ; the more so, as he, in a great degree, pio-
ceeded upon his own responsibility. The words o'c,
the Privy Council were, that some due rewards
should be given; but if Parliament were to al
portion those, some means should be agorae
them of judging what was proper. In this
there was certainly a claim to equitable !earl,:
and he wished it might appear on the face of the
thing. He was averse to a general sweeping
grant. He ohjeEted to the present mode of:-
ceeding, at the same time he considered this afrairk:e
by no means a personal Ministerial question ; nein
had it any concern with the late Administratl°l;
He believed it resulted from an application to t
equity of the Crown, &e. as being originally
'grounded in no stria legal right. in
The ATTORNEY GENERAL observed, that tic
such a ease, the KING, by his Prerogative, lathe
have given the Ships in the first instance t°
captors ; but in consequence of the mode of Phe
ceeding which it was deemed proper to adopt, t
/ I der
value thereof was proposed to be given. Yn
the circumstances of this case, it was a matter -
indifference, Whether the possession was achieved
by capture or not, as it was of that nature that was
not distributable under the Prize Ad, s° that no
right vested'in the captor. He knew of no ;
stance since the reign of Queen Anne, were
a 1.1';
beral remuneration 'had not been given in suc •
,cases. In the present, a number of years, II or 12.0
had elapsed since the event, and the KINC, in hi

grant of the whole. All the circumstances wets
