LONDON, JULY 13, 1603.

• A Fleet has been seen off Ireland, which exerted:
•
Some alarm, but which we believe was no more:
than a large Convoy of French Merchantmen, from.
Norfolk in Virginia, gning' north about to escape-.
our. Cruisers, Lord -GARDNER had dis'patched
some vessels-after them; His Majesty's Brig
wet has sent one of them into Falmouth that had
strayed from the Convoy, Lord GARDNER 'sent
•
an express to the 'Admiralty, which arrived' last
night, with intelligence of ibis Convoy, that Sl4ps
may be ready
.in the North Sea to intercept such
as may escape his Ctuizers.

OF Tit•E

IN the, course of alAte Dcbate in the I eof

pOieable Force for the Service of the Coimir,
}ton. Mekier recommended a riare I: and
extended ..Augmentat ion' of the Royal
being .a "species uf;torce more.dispOsearde and coo.:
vertibie. to every kind of intantry Service oian any •
other, and fill «filch iectutts could-t 1 procu C.l with
greater facility Than'any Other. .regul:tr force, xvhcn
equal incogrevntiyit held out as to -Bosint.y,- •
You objected, on this tibje4„:" that the I;Oyal
" Marine corps was already greater, ia
.p7vorsfo_n-
-44 to the esuMber of Seamen in ibe Servi4e, than
44 formerly."
This remark at once explains the System aded
upon in regard to that Corps, and affords an oppor-
tunity of.investigating! it. You think then, that
if the strength. of the Corps is sufficient to afford.
oaly the complement of Men necessary fbr our Ships-
of War, when 'put in Commission; this i all that is
requisite tot the•gtod of the Seivicti-,—that a att%-
' talion Ort,shore is not ,avanted'; that no previous
formation, 'discipline,-.. or ..drilling of the Marine
Stildier of course is necessary, and, provided he
embarks- with a red coat on his back, it matters not
whether 'he has ever had a musketmin hii hand, or
knows the common. discipline anti:duty'Of a Sentry.
This is the true spirit 'and meaning of your °bier:.
vation; for C you would proportion the nutnlter of
44 thelNarine'Corps,eniployed to
.that of the Sea-
" men in'the'Fleet."
Now, Sir, a Scaman can only learn duty on
hoard of :hip. The case is entirely different with
Tespezt to that Corps. Ii the Marine Recruit .bas
not learnt his duty before embarkation, he never
can acquire it at all, as he ought. Fit miy become
expert at pulling and hauling,- btu can never become
what 'he was intended for—a quell.disciplined
dier. He cannot embark with any one idea of the
duty of a.SOldier,• much less of the Particular duty
of a Soldier serving in thelisleet. fie can have tic-.
qUireti nothing of that neressrY,discrimination.he
ought to entertain, between his. duty and that of.
the Seaman, which 'every.- intelligent Naval Officer
knows to be the great preservative of discipline in
a Ship of War. Henan, in faCt, he no other than'
a Seaman in a red coat, and must be' so far inferior
to a good Seamin, as pradising only a stn;ill part
of a Seaman's duty, Without knowing any thing of
his own. This is what the corps trust fast tend to
under, such a system of management—a system gra.
dually leading. to the annihilation .of the Constitu.'
dun of the corps, anti. its real utility.; fot, when
it has been persevered in sorer time; ;it will 'trotter ,
little then whether ..he' only remaining distinction
of the Se:unan dnd Soldier be abolished, and'a Woe
.jacket and trowsers substituted for the Soldier's
unifurtn.

In former times,. Sir, the Nl:trine Coeps were
looked Up' n by ihe Board oi Admiralty as a Most
useful body of men for lantras-well`as sea service,
and'they .+re still so by many eminent livinechaL
rd&ers. 1n 1775. bestries, the detachments serving
in the Elect, a large Battalion could be:- spared to
ad with the Army on shore in America, and their
conduct there .proved that, «. under proper tirre and
discipline (as well remarked. lately in tho House of
Commnns..to be necessary), the Marines .wore
ceilenc Soldiers." It was while tiding. or shore;
as a Battalion at Bunker's Hill,.that they acquired
the laurel pow Worn by the Corp 9. 'During, the
late War their services in the F,leet, at the Cape,
Toulon, Bastia, Egypt, and on other occasions!
on :hare, combined, were such as to obtain. from
Hib majesty the additional distinCtion of a ROy.il
Corps. It appears then, that, gw;th, care and
discipline," it can at on shore as.well as at,seh
anti that a few soon Battalions of it as served ao
`Bunker's would be naincOnsideiable acqukit ion
at the present moment, co-operating with the Army,
even though, by such aquisition, the strength cat'
the Corps were nut in ex.,4llepportiwwith that of
the Navy,

The Colours of the corps ',trerhaps, Sir, you.did
not know before they had Cnioers) bear the Motto;
{{Per mare et Terram," indicative of its constt.
lotion and intention, of being api-;licable to both
Services--by Sea And Land, You would, however,
alter that Constitution, and ,arrange it to be " Per
mare': alone, not considering that, by so doing,
you unfit it for executing either service, as intended,
and as it ough4.
Every merit, and utility the Corps may ;have,
depena's on, and originates IN, 'bat cbange.'of Service
which is its nature. To effi.:.:l and keep up that
change, A ,/arge Ifstablisbnicnt is necessary ;—nnt
an EilibetrAati,im Is;stalthibmoit only—one that will
admit a fbasige of Semice.
The previous drill and discipline of the Marine
SoldWr,,oos ,bare, is necessary to fit him for his duty
as a Soldier on board ;—to instruct him in the im.
portant duty of a Sentry at his post ; and, above
all, to accustom him to consider it his,partieular
duty to-support discipline on board. The service
of the Marine Soldier, orr loam?, again, furnishes
the best possible ground.workof a hardy Soldier for
Shore Service. lie is, inured to change of climate,;
sees considerable aduJl service ; is accustomed to
fre9uent danger and alarm, and to perpetual preps.
rations for coming to action by night and day; but,
what is a still more important branch of his pradice,
he, is actmrtomed to expect vittory, as the natural
consequence of engaging an enemyi and his reward.
This is the good fortune of his service, from its
nature, on our favonritteilement. That good for-
me cannot fail to. beget in the Soldier habitml
confidence in himself, and natural contempt of the
enemy, qualities of all others the most essential ,to
a Soldier in action, and most conducive to vieloty.
These are circumstances in the Service in cues.
tion, peculiarly favourable to forming hardy and good
Soldiers, " with care" and attention on the part of
those under whose controul they are. But this is
the great point in which they are deficient—the
proper and necessary establishment is only thought
01 at the moment it is wanted for service, and nut
considered even then, as it ought. An augmenta-
tion of Soots men has been lately voted by the
House of Commons ; but what means have been J

This was not the mode of concitnling the Recruit.

Tie Bounty then given was the faille 45 the tine.
The consequence, as well known to every Officer at
that time'emplJyed in recruiting, was, that in the
principal quartets .in En-gland anti Scotland the
rineTarties had a decided advantage in raising men.
Now the case is reversed. The conclusion iti obvious.

It may perhaps be said.that .economy is the cause
of this system. It has not „even the virtue of. eco-

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING's BEN.CI-1, piss d.

cowmt V. FIARTIN.

This was a Motion for a new Trial, and was
very ably argued. by Mr. Serjeant SCiit.oDl, in shew_.
log cause against the Kule, and by Mr. WlLsora in •
htippOil of it.
he Question in this case was, Whett4r a father.
in-law was bound to maintaio his children-in.law ?
Plaintiff had married the Defendant's mother,
who had the Defendant and six or seven other chil;
dren by a former husband. The Defendant had lived
in the hOuse of his tather..in.daw-", and this atlion
was brought,for five years. board during his mino-
rity.—the 'ls3y found a verdict for Plaintiff Itir
damages. And it appeared that doubl that
sum would not have suppUrted him. , ,
The Learned Serjeant contended, that as there
was no natural relation between the father-in-law
and the
,son-in,law, he was not bound to find him
in necessaries. the Statute of Elizabeth Only
tended to natural relations. The PlaintifF stood in
the situation of a stranger to Defendant, and
there was no legal obligation on hint, to support his
children-in-law.; The Learned Serjeant considered
the cases that had been decided, and blie %''C(t that all
the late authorities Were in his fay Our.

Mr. WiLsoN on the other hand contended, that
a man was bound to maintain his wife's children by
a former husband, not because there was any natth
ral relation betWecn them, but because their mother
was bound to maintain them, and he, by marrying
her, succeeded to her oNigations, and was bound to
maintain them doting the cover tote, and no longer.
Having taken Ear -to wife, he was. liable to that

debt, as he was to her other debts. The Learned
Counsel cited a great number of cases in support of
thi%* doctrine.

The Court, on the latest authorities on this point,
were of opidion, that a father.in.law was not hound
to support his-wife's children. But if hi once tor,k
them into his house, and under his protenion, and
other people furnished them with necessaries, in that
case the law considered that he' had adopted them,
that Ile stood in loco parentis, and waS liable to pay
necessaries, as 14 clOthei, 'edueation,
Mr. Justice LAWRENCE observed, 'that some of

the cases had considered this as'a debt, and that the
husband was bn'.►nil for this as he was fur .other
debts of his wile. There was no 'cidubt that the
man was bound for the debts of MS wife. But he
conceived .it was a mistake to suppose this was 4,
debt. It was an obligation in the wife to support
,her childred, if she was of ability ; but after she
was married to a second husband, it could not be
enforced against her. The question here• was,
Whether a stranger, having undertaken to find ne.
cessaries, and haying
.found them, Was not a good
consideration for a promise to pay ? .
