BARRACKS.

..."Admiral BERKELEY expressed. a wish to have
some further Papers respeiiing the Expenditure of
the Barrack Department, which he would now
move for, and if ;there was any.objeaion 'Jo their
produaion, he would withdraw his Motion, and
give notice 'for a future day. -lie ,then moved for
Copies of the. Contra&s entered .into for building
Barracks, between the .Buitders'and the Bamck--
Master -General. An. account of the periods at
which the unfinished Barracks .were_ to be .tom-

pleted, with the penalties on non-performance of
contra&. Copies of Certificates" granted by the
.' proper Officer, stating the progress made in the
ue4lion of Barracks, and the payments to which the
Builders thereuPon became intitled and an account
of the Barracks which were in the possession of Go-
vernment at the timo of the Preliminaries of the

Treaty of Athiens, wiih the number of men and
horges they were capable of containing,
guishing tbe.number hired, and ,whan given up.

Someconversation'ensned between the SECRETA-
-ty'at"Wki and Aittnirdl.lisßKEL;.-Y, chiefly with
respect to the wording oldie MotiUns, which were
at length, in substance, agreed to.
Mr. HAwII NS .1310 WNE .brought tip a Report re.
spewing the Inland Navigation •in Scotland, which
was
,ordered to lie on the Table, to be printed,
and to be taken into consideration On Friday s'en-
night.

•-• IRISH CIRCULATION.
Mr. CoRRy- postponed his intended Motion re.
speeting the Circulation of Ireland 6.11 Thursday;
IRISH MILITIA.

Mr. Secretary YORKE moved the Order of the
Day for the House resolving itself into a Committee
on the Irish Militia Voluntary Tender Bill.
On theluestion for the SPEAKER'S leaving the
Ch'air, •

Mr. ELIOT arraigned, in strong terms, the
policy of the measure : the whole system of Mini-
sters with-resped to the Irish Militia he conceived
- to have been erroneous. At'the end of the War, a
discharge was given to the whole Militia of,lteland,
Shortly afterwards it was proposed to .revive the
• -Militia, and to raise .18,00 ti men at a bounty„,of
two Guineas ; that being found insufficient, it, was
then proposed.to raise it to four Guineas, whilst _the
• 'bounty given for general Service. was only five Gui.
- neas ; it was objetaed at the time that this. dispro.
portionate bounty went to cut up the solirceof Re;
cruiting for General Service, And-they were now
called upon to adopt the present measure in order to
• repair the fault which Ministers then committed.---:
- He objestled to this measure as- tending to introduce
into the Army a spirit of deliberation. Offic.:ers
. -who Wished to volunteer their services musccanVass:
amongst the men, or the men might previously de:
liberate, 'and in some measure compel their Offi:era
to go-with them; The off rs also were far from be-
ing spontaneous, many were dragged into a sort of
• consent, from the fear of disgrace if they refused..l
He saw something like this in the Paper upon the
- 'fable, where-the name of one.-Officer who had re.
I fused to volutiteer, was particularized. If they
- agreed to this-measure, -they-must admit the prin.
Ciple the exchange of the Militia of the two COun. .
tries, the policy of which. I-7e totally denied.
Mr. Snretary. YO RKE observed, .that it was
whilst. the Hon: Gentleman was in Administration
ii:lYelanst,,.inthe;year 1799; that passed the'
-.lrish Parliament- m of -04 d service of the.lrish
in Great: 13r twin. • This he thought ..was a.
argiiment against the. Hon-. Gentle Man as
Iris opirion'Arpon.the .subjca. His view, of. the
"subject was-""this; that if.a part of the Irish Mi.
litia were brought here, anti 'an .augmentattoo to
tf:e.::,..sAme extent made-in' that I,;rce, -ro,ooo Re.
plat Troops tii ht then be ti:,posable for gene
. ral service. He denied that ,the principle .Of the
Militia '.lyste.m..l.vas,in any material degree trench.
ed upon. by the present measure. _There was nu in.
to weaken the defensive force of Ireland,
the -io,oco. Militia brought 'away,.would be re-.
placed by c44er. Trppps ; for instance, a parr of the
Army of Reserve ; they .would also be replaced: by.
, the augmentation of the Irish Militia in the same
proportion. As to the Bounty which had heel-I

,alluded to, the fad was, that the bounty of twcr'
gcaine.as, was a Peace Bounty ; it was not increased
to four, till the 17th of April 1803, nearly about:
which period the War Bounty furthe itegularTroopi
was announced. As to the Charge againit Mini.
ter of erroneously reviving
.the Militia of Ire.:
land, there was then no.question of bringing them
Over here; nor would. there have been now, had it
not been for the voluntary eal of. alarge propor-
tion of that Force. It hid beeninsintrated as if Mi.

niters had said, that the Irish Militia were better
any where else than in Ireland ; but no such expres-
sion had been' used by any of His Majesty'y
nisters. .The truth was, that the Trish Militia
were an excellently disciplined Force -equally ex.
cellent, eiiher in Ireland orGreat Britain; and he
was perfealy persuaded, that whether in Ireland or
'Great Britain, they would do their duty again..r the:
.enemy, and that in zeal, loyalty,' and discipline,
. they, would not Jae inferior to any other Troops in
His :Majesty's service. The Hon. gentleman had
objeCted that this measure tended to 'create a spirit
of deliberation in the Army.. far as the abstraCt
~principle went, it must he admitted .that delibera-
tion ,aniongst armed bodiei was dingerous ; but
_when—they looked at things as they were, was
_there any military bndy in_which there was no de-
liberation; Was it not usual for a Captain of a emu_
pany.to requite deliberation amongst his' men, as
io.stoppages of pay and other things ? When se-
veral Regiments .foltinteered, in the must patriotic
and honourable way, to go to Egypt, it was done
exatily in -the same manner. With respdt to tl,e
Officer particulatiied in. the Paper on the Table, as
. having .refused tb voltinteer, he was extremely
.sorry that his name had been mentioned in that sort
of way. As to the idea .of exchanging the Mi 11,.:
tin cif the two Coentries, there was no such int:.n.

a re

procal service for that performed by the English
Militia in Ireland. He saw great advantages to
be derived from the present measure, with a view
to increase the disposable force of Great• Britain.
Mr. CALCR/IFT considered the measure- as a
gross breach of •the Constitutional principle, of the
Militia. It also tended to place Militia Officers, in
the roost degrading situation,. when they were
obliged to ask their men whether they would do
this, that, or the other; it was utterly inconsistent
with.every military idea. As an equal force was
to be sent from this Country in lieu of the to,ooo
men brought over here, he could not see what ad-
vantage was to he derived from the measure, be-
sides which it was the opinion of Military men
that the Militia would be most effeffive irothe
Counties in which they were raised. He thought
thairsuCh measures as the present tended to destroy
the Militia in an iodireft way. He entirely dis.
approved of the measure, which he considered to
be not warranted either by expediency or policy.
Mr'. ALEX,INDER shortly defended the Mea.
sure.; •He denied that it tended to introduce a deli.
beraitive system Into the Army; as it was merely
a single Aft of Deliberation, without .engendering
a habit.
BANK ES thought the Measure highly dan-
gerous in its conseqoenees, as no man, whether in
the Militia or Volunteers, could then consider him.
self safe from being, in a certain degree, compelled
to go onn-general service,
• Ca/eafel HUTCH/AVON said, he rose to 'support
this Bill, but not upon any of the grounds
.which
had been stated. It app.eared to him, that bringing
the Irish Militia into •this Country would- be pro-
&Clive of-the most beneficial efFetts, as it• would
teach the common men those habits of inclustty
which they would see in this Country, and the
Officers would see the advantage that resulted to
country Gentlemen, from the reciprocal kindness
subsisting between Landlords and their Tenants.
Bin though he approved of the plan for bringing
over the-Irish Militia to this Country, yet he by-
no tototos,coneurred in the mode which. the Right
Hon. Gentleman had suggested for supplying the
deficiency which this would create in Ireland. In.
stead of supplying them by the Army of Reserve,
Or with Foreign Corps, which latter mode he eon.
sidered as highly unc atitutional, he thought they
ought to be supplied by British Militia. He knew
that this would heeprodottive, of inconvenience to
the British Militia, but at such a crisis as the pre.
sent; .personal convenience ought to give way to
poblic goodee,Tbe,-Hen; Gentleman was thettpro-
ceeding t make spine" observations upon the pre.
sent state, of Ireland;' w.hen he was called to Order
1 • -
Col. ATEREZ, who -ccntended that his.ohser-
vations were irrelevant, and might tend to irritate
the the. People ofehat Country...
Col.:HuTotale “,) v (I<t'llied his observations could
have •any such t-Fzca,.. and contended that be had a
rig
ht tueeratee ititciliieral argument upon the sub-
jeet. • However, after, a -few words' he concluded
—with-giving his assen-o to the measure, : -
Bt.TRROUGHS 'Supported the Bill,
. My,
,C ANNIA9 said, he had heard no:grounds
advanced to induce, him, to support the. Bill. The
proposed objet 'Ministers was to increase the
disposable force of- the Courrtry, and the way they
took to effeEt that was, to bring over here a force
thateVas not disposable, and they meant to supply
the deficiency in Ireland by raising a force that arso
was .not disposable. He denied that there was
any
,necessity for increasing that kind of limited
force in this Country, because we had a greater
force in this COuntry,• whose services were limited,
-than-ever was knctt-ri; and' he contended, that die
force which it was .to bring Over, could
not be conveniently. spared from Ireland ; and,
finally, he-disapproved of the mode by which it
was proposed, to supply the deficiency which would
thus be created in Ireland. Upon these grounds
he should oppose the
BASTARD 'completely disapproved of the
measure, as it would 'tend, to injure, and perhaps
finally to destroy that old and CoustioUoional part
'of our military force, the Militia. It had 'been :hi
fashion of late to rim down the Militia, but he
should always consider them as the best sitfe,guar;li
of the Constitution ; and therefore he should resist'
every attempt to convert them into regulars. One'
oihis principal objettiona to this measure wasobat
in would convert the,different Regiments- into dee
liberative bodies, which would necessarily be the
ciestru&iuti of all discipline.. It•had been said that
thiswasa voluntary offer un the part of the Irish.
Militia ; he'had nadonbt of the loyalty and !spirit
ofolott body of men, hut he knew from what passed
in England some years ago, what these voluntary
offers measit.
.He believed that many of those who'
went' to Irelande. when the Militia Regiments vo.
lunteered in 5798. to go to Ireland, went merely
upon a principle of lounitir, and not from their free
consent, and he believed that some of the Regiments
volunteered merely to spire their Officers. Upon
the whole, he considered this measure as not only
useless, but dangerous.
Mr. PYTCHES said, he could not see any ore
benefit that could result from the Measure ; it would
.not even have the -effect of promoting inter-mar.
riages, because the strong -attachment of Irishmen
to celibacy, and the chastity of English women,
would prevent any thing of that kind taking place.
When the Volunteer Bill passed the House, Mini-
sters represented their Military Fabric as complete,
but now they found that it was out of, repair, and
that it wanted an Hibesenian Pier to support it. He
disapproved of this measure, because it would ren-
der them an aisiphibious race, for if this plan of
interchanging -the Militia was adopted; some of
them would always be upon the sea.
Sir R, HILL said, that it was a subjea upon which
military men were.the most competent to decide ;
and he begged leave to read, as part of his speech,
a letter he had received from a Nephew of his, who
had seen considerable service in Toulon, Egyvt.
and in Ireland; and who, thoogh a young lean,
had attained the raole'of Brigadier General. Sir
Richard then read- part of the leiter, which ex-
pressed a strong opinion of the advantages that
would result from an interchange of the
and spoke in high terms Of rib.: Irish Militia,.

Cbpy of a Letter from the Right Hon. Lord Keith,
K. B. Admiral of the Blue, &c. to IPilliam
Marsden, Esq. dated on board His Majesty's Ship
Monarch, of Ramsgate, the 9th inst.

SIR,
I herewith transmit, for their Lordships' in-
formation, a Copy of a Letter which I have' this
morning received from Rear - Admiral Thorn-
brough,intlasing one to him from Capt. Hardinge,
of His MThsty's Sloop the Scorpion, in which he.
reports the successful issue of a most gallant and
spirited fittac k which was made by Captains Har-
dingt: and Pelly with the Boats of the Scorpion and
Beaver on the Dutch National Brig Atalanta, at
anchor within the Vlie Roads, on the. ;Ist of last
month.

Although the brilliancy of this service can re..
ceive no. additional lustre from any commendation
that it- is in my power to bestow, I obey the dic-
tates of both duty and inclination in recomMending.
the distinguished services of Captains Hardinge and!
lly,.and of the officers and men employed under
them on this occasion, to the consideration of their
Lordships, who will not fail to observe the delicacy
with which Captain Hardinge refrains in•his narra-
tive from any mention whatever of himself, nor to
recoiled -that Captain Pelly was promoted to the
rank of a Commander in consequence of his king
most severely wounded in the performance of his
duty before Boulogne. I am, &c.
KEITH.

I have-the honour to inform your Lordship, that I de-
tached the. Scorpion Sloop on the 25th ult. to cruize oil the
Vlie Passage,. in order to watch the motions of the Enemy in

Dutch :Nationai Bugs le.at anchor in the Viie Road. I
have now the satisfaction of stating to your Lordship, that I
was yesterdly afternoon join\ed by the Scorpion and Beaver
Sloops, bringinr: with them. the Atalanta Dutch National
Brig, one of the Vessels above alluded to, and the Commo-
dore of a small Squadron placed there,. for the protection of
that Passage and Road, which they carried in the most gal-
lant and spirited manner, although she was fully prepared
for the cbittest having boarding petting .triced up, and de-
ttnded in the usost obstinate manner ; so determined was the
Captaiii that he refuSed"ctuarter- when most. generously of-
fered him, and fell in the derenee of his ,•rig ; she Carries six-

of

LONDON,
.4P R xl, 1804.
THE Gazette of last night contains the Official
Accounts of the further proceedings of the Arm in
India, which w y
ere stated in this Paper of yesterday.
It also contains thy, details xif the very
ploit performed b gallant ex-
y Captains HARDINGE, and PALLY,
of the Scorpion and Beaver Sloops, in cutting out
the Dutch Brig iLtaialte from the Vlie.
No further accounts have been received from
Prance, nor have we received any confirmation of
the fad} of the Murder of the Duke d'ENoxitrz, but
we fear there is no ground for entertaining any
Lupe that the statement in the Hamburgh Paper is
false. It is true, it is nut mentioned in the. Moni-
reserr of the 233 or 2.4.,h ult. ; but perhaps even 80.
I'APARTE hitnseif,vas too conscious of the infamous
atrocity of that atc.t, to wish to' have it officially
blazoned forth to the. world.-

1 It',
You will.be'pleased to acquaint their Lordships that I de.
tallied; and have since liberated, the Purser, Pilot, and the
Captain's Servant, of the Dutch National Brig, Atalanta.
captured by the Scoi pion and Beaver Sloops ; and that I
charged thelatter with the etleds of his Master, to be deli- 1
vercd to Admiral K.il lkert, for.the benefit of his relations ; I
availed myself of the opportunity of writing to the Admiral,
a Copy.of which Letter I herewith inclose ter their Lord-
ships', perusal, and which 1 trust Will meet their approba-
tion. •

The chance of War having put into our possession 'the
Atalanta, Dutch-National Brig, and being desirous of paying
every attention to the memory of Captain Carp, tier Com-
mander, who gallantly fell at his post, in the defence of the
Ship entrusted•to his care, 1 have sent his ervant to you
with his elleels, in order that they marbe delivered to his
relatives. •
The Engli;ll not considering persons serving on board Ships
of War in cOiil capacities, as liable to be made prisoners. I
have liberate'd and sent on shore the Purser and Pilot, that
were taken on board the Atalanta, and have charged the for-
mer with the, delivery of this Letter to you. I feel great
concern at having 'begin tinder the necessity of sending' the
Surgeon and wounded Men belonging to the Brig, to England;
the didates of humanity would have induced me to send them
to the Helder, could I have been assured that my Flag of
Truce would have been respee.led, and the Officers permit.
ted to return, which has ever been the custom with civilized
Powers at War, until the last Summer, when an English
Officer, going to Helvoet under a Flag of Truce, was detained
and sent Prisbnet into France. Enclosed I have sent an In-
ventory of Captain Caa-p's ell-eels. •
I have the Honour to be, &c.
