Lord PELIMAI, in answer to the Noble Earl. made a ira".;
riety of observations on-what failen from hint. With re•
grad to a part of what was required, as.in the termer instance;
the:Noble Secretary semted to entertain no objedion,.
cularly to the subject (tithe above Mottan, but wititeespetti
to the other parts he entertaineWeery contrary aiiinionsi. and
assigned his reasons tin. deemitigthe Pm positions of the Noble,
Earl ill-founded. On sonic points Ministers were not ,in
posieson of regular or documentary iotarmat ion. wherewith
to satisfy the -..0h1e Earl in the w.lhe s,.'etr4 tO-requirei
on others no otti.i.:l coinnitinn:ation.s passed bet‘Veen the
Rattles_ With retort( to what was st:,tAl resperling the Cape;
he had no objeelion to bate the deeunients produced but ht
regaid to informatipn required by the Noble Earl respet4ing
the A rinatnentS' in the Pores of Prance, as 41ilierted to.in His
majesty's Message, he felt it his duty to resist its prudttetiony
first, OW the ground of its being unnecessary, spa sec:ol.4(ly.
for the obvious reeson that it would he ni:hly i,riprai.nr to
make piddle communications of Unit kirel received by' Go.;
vertunent. He admitted at the Same time tiir,t there wcr
Armarlientt in preparation, for legitimate ati4e,‘.ls on the part
of France, sue as the recswery of St. Domingo, e4c:
Tic Ertel of C;MLIgLE said; no Alen could reyrer so,'
thing that would tend to interrupt the eXPeeled unani-
mity on such an occasion more 4intercly than he did;
yet his duty, with 'a reference to the conduct of Ministers;
would induce hint to wish for .every information which ,ha
thought prOPer to to given,' The Noble E,irl then atlyerte4
to several points which had been commented an in- deialli
by his Noble Friend,_{ Earl I'i rawiL t. IA at) and on mini
of these he thought the rquifell iniurin4titiri was ftreiper to
he given : —The Armaments on the Coasit Frarseei in mire
ticuiar, he observed, we-re so notorious, that ovary travel-
ler was apprised of them, 1-ie7eonelodcd by sortie general
obseivations on the salutary of sets of inquiry.
Lord HONART shortly stated, that whatever Ottinientt
might be entertained, the Most rigorous inquiry would
evince that Ministers did.evety thing, Av,ithin the ticope of
'their power, and to'the best of tivir jutiment4 whfch
cc! to naintain the Honour of the Crown; and the Interest of
His Majesty's Subjeds. Whatever the House should think
tit to institute the inquiries so often spoken of, he should
only say,.that His NikiegVo Ministers' were perfemy pre.
pared to nie,:t them. The condeet of Nlinisten: in swine
pointernay, with a ieft..rence to' tho difficulties they had tei
encounter, appear to the uninformed to be questi t but .0144.1. c
in every instance they were alike actuated by a strong thspaE;
sition to maintain the Hotiotir ut' th3..Crown, and the Into-
test of the •Subjeet. With respea to the point of prottuvin4
the informatioe received respeerting the Armaments; he
thought his Noble Culleag-tte perfectly fight in refusing it;
He was fully aware of the disAdvantagee under which Mini•
stera were phteedon such occasions ; hut he'titought it would
ho better to sutler such disadvanteges,to exist, than to kuray
the Sources of their information.

t-'tel SPENCER deliveredhis sesitiments at some length.
Pis Lordship's le4ding observations were, that with resped
to a great part of the informatiort required, it did not appear
to him to be essentially necessary tbr the discussion on Mon-
day, it was thereforc indifferent whether the proposed =dens
were then made or deferred to a -future day, lie seemed to
Icennamend the latter line of proceeding, With .respeti ttr
the general l'objetit, there were two; .t%:•at principles on which

and secondly, a deliberate consicieratitn of. the actual conduCt

Lord •PE'LI-Mill in explanation, concurred with the No-
hie Earl. in deeming; that, the two points adverted to by him,
formed trotter for distina consideration. With respett to
the prefenible line of immediate proceeding, he also seemed_
to collar with the last Speaker ;--Ile added, he then held
a paper in his hand, which when before them,. their Lord-
ships would find to throw considerable light upon part of
what had been the sullje.t of that evening's conversation..
• Earl Ft rzw 1A M spoke in further explanation.
Thi LORD CEIANCELLOR observed, that he was not then
anxious to state his sentiments upon the subjecli. it not being
then regularly before the tiouse, farther than to obsetve, that
:be knew not wit:at • stuff' that roan's heart most be made
of, who, having read the Papers, could withhr,lil his hearty

Honour of C rown, and the teal Interest of his Subjetts,
lle admitted with the Notate Eari.(Ser.Ner.R ), that the cause
of the Country, and the coricitia of MieisterS, were in a con-,
Stitutional point of view, dlstirt coni,iderarion;. A ftor
nicotinic shortly on these point's, :and insistihg on the reeti-
tude of the intentions of Mini: tern, the Noble and Learned
Lord' seemed to think with one or t ivo Veers who already
delivered their opinioqs upon the point, as to the proper ter-
mination of the present discussion.
After a short ektilanitory :,conversation between Earl
Pt +7.5.7 U. I. tA M and ,other :Peers, we understood that his.,
or&hio agreed to Withdraw",
.or to postpone his intended
, Motions.
Some private business was then disposed of, after which

bring in a Bill for facilitating the enrolment of Mili.

ohjeel, aril he was happy to say, that the; Willi.
tia had in the courc of three weeks after they were
called out, got into a great.itate of forwardness. . Yet
he must state, that there were at present many delici.
codes in the Militia ; .he therefore should propose
that the Lieutenants of Counties should inuned iately
fill up the vacancies in the Militia. 'Another oh_
lea of the Bill was, that persons being drawn, who
are not inclined to' serve in the Militia, should par
the penalty often to fifteen -poneds.. It,was a well
known fAa •that many persons,have made a trade
of the Militia, and, entetvd into ita service, ,then
deserted, and entered into differeot situations in His

day, areealde to His 'Majesty's cOmmand,

steived in.the serv'ter of 'the Militia,' and that if any

now in the Militia, he should be immediately turned
over to the Naval Service; He thought the Bill

Culotte-1 PORTER said, he wished to know, whe.

.relative to Societies for procuring Substitutes.
SECRETARY ut WAR said, the' subjeft
' tnetstioned by the Hon. Gentleman,.had not escaped
his notice but he thought it difficult to make a
Legislative .Provision to prevent them, as they were
useful in some instances. It was his intention 'to
authorize cite Lieutenant of the county to examine
the Persons Who entered into the Militia, as many
fraUds have been "comtnitted in various ways, and that
an oath should be adMinistered 'to them when they

to the measure proposed—he thought it destruCtive-
to the Army': he also did not approve of so many.
