minent.
Mr. Secretary YoutE proposed a Clause, whiCh
was adopted by the Committee, for the purpose of
preVen!ing Supernumeraries in the Volunteer Corps
enjoying any exemptions whate,fer. He said also,
that he should propose a Clause in this Bill to pro-
vide that no person:who shall serve as a Volunteer
during this War shall hereafter be subjea to be bal-
loted for the Militia.
Mr. PITT observed upon a Clause which pro.
vides fir the calling out of the Volunteers, &C.
that the objea of the clause was, that On giving
'the Vohinteers an opportunity of assembling, they
should pave also an opportunity of properly Improv-
ing themselves by their exercise, and the cont-
nuance of which he hoped would be'for twenty-one
days, hut at all events not less-than seven. It was,
therefore, in his opinion, essential that during this
period• they shOuld be under Military Law, that
was to say, provided they went•out• on their own
accord, and also'by His Majesty's ap;rolmtion ; he
therefore moved an 'Amendment in this Clause; 'by
inserting these, words, " Or fOr the purpose of being
placed on permanent duty, a stated number of days,
for their improvement in military exercise."
This amendment was immedia,ely agreed to.
In the Course of the discussion Of one of the
Clauses,
General TARLETON took occasion to observe
that as he had been informed there was a 'difference
of opinion between the Right Hon. Gentlernan who
brought this measure forward, and most of the Colo-
nel Commandanti of the Voltinteer Corps, as to some
points of law by which the Volunteer System Was
supposed to be regulated ; if that was so, the bet_
ter way would be for that Right Hon. Gentleman
to state his opinion upon the Lats, to the Committee,
in order that the matter might he settled, and all
disagreenients done away. •
Mr.' Secretary YORKE said, that the law, upon
the subject to which the Hon.,General had referred,
" Was' not at all doubtful. When out on 'gloat in.
vasion, the Volunteers, like all other parti of our
military force„wOuld be under the command
General Officers of 'the Line, but not unless they
were out. They had, however, consented in Many
instances to he in some measure. urd'r the command
of 011-I,ers of the Line.' They roi'ht be said to be
so when they were inspeaed, and they
_were wise
in so, submitting, for it was •a. measure without
which they could not be effeduaDy inyroved ; but
when they were so assemtiled, they were under the
command of it General Officer of the Line.
• General PARL ETON said,' that 'the opinion he
had,
.upon_ that subject he.shouhl carry, with him out
Of-the Hotise to-night ; hut if what he had sug-
gested Could-be of any service` to the Country, he
should he glad of it. When he came 'to speak upon
this subject. hereafter, he .Shotild. have an -oppor-
tunity of praising or of'colimenting, upon this sys-
tem, as it should appear iu him to bc right.

Mr. PITT observed upon one of the Clauses, it
was there proposed to put, Volunteers under the
command, of. General o.lricers when they were called
Out, which theywou'ld be in considerable numbers in
the various DiStrias of this Country, for he knew
of nathirrg' so likely to improve them materially in
their Military Exercise—Now considering the dif.
ferent Distrias in which they were dispersed, as
many of them should be, and he hoped they would
be, put_ on permanent duty as much,as possible, they
shOUld therefore be under the command of an Officer
of the Line: The general rule was, that they were
to be. put under the command only of a General Of-
ficer it 4, considering the 'variety of cases in which
they-might be oat, and the different idistriffi all at
once, it' might be impossible to.provide fur each of
them a General Officer to be their Comniander ; in
which case it might be extremely convenient to put
-them under the very respiOable command of Incpeet-
ing Officers,. who were below the rank of General
Officers, and therefore he.shmild move that the Words
of tbe Clause should run thud, ".Such General or
other ij field Officer."

Mr. Secret cry :YORKE said, it was •perfeetly
clear that Lieutenant Generals-were General Officers
according to military 'dtfinitiOn ; and this;: was. a
point which depended wholly on His Majesty, for
he alight at. hiS pleasure commission his Adjutants
General-Officers, for His Majesty might, beyond all
doubt, create the office of Adjutant.. General ; there
was such an Officer now in France. No doubt His
Majesty inight give such a tank,. and to as many Ad;
jutants oh 1-i.;:t Majesty might thi:J: rroper, and thin
they would ail take the rank of Adjutant General,
and be to all intents and purposes General Ofiieers,
and that this was within the general prerogative of
the Crown, was a matter not to be doubted. View-
ing this=point as he did, he was persuaded that the
words now pro rased, '' or other Field
should not be inserted in this Clause, for then a
Lieur;nant-Colonel might be placed Under an-infe-
rior Field Officer. He was hoWever perfectly
aware that the 'Volunteers should have the bene-
f r of the assistance of officers who were not
General Officers. With respeCt to .the Inspeding
Field Officers who have not the rank of Lieu..
tenant-Colonel, the assistance from them would be
as assistance from the Adjutant-General, which
Would be that of giving,advibe and opinion but if
adviseable to give Adjutants command, many of theM
to his knowledge were officers of-excellent qualifica-
tions, and His -Majesty might give them rank ; but
he was afraid 'that if words of this kind were.in-
serted, considerable, difficulties would arise on ac-
count of the point of rank, because many officers
might thus be put under the command of those who
were inferior to them in rank, which might create
unpleasant feelings in. the service.—He expressed a
wish that this matter might take the,course pointed'
out for it, as he conceived, in the system of ,the
Militia.
Lord PASTLERE..AGH seemed at first rather
inclined to think the words proposed were „neces-
sary; but on hearing his. Right Honorable Friend
(Mr. YORKE) again, his Lordship declared himself
.satisfied that the words were unnecessary..

Mr. PITT agreed that there was no diculty.
whatever when the Volunteers were called out for
ACtual service, that was removed by what was said
by the SEckirrAity of STATE, but what he wanted'
to apply his amendment to wac, that of the Voiun_.
;ears being cAlcd or, not for atinid service, but
'permanent duty for a while, in order to improve
them in their military exe:ciac- The question was,
.vhether there were sofficient•Tumbers .of General
Officers to command all the Volunteers who might
assemble and remain On permanent duty, in all, the;
dispersed kihr tho Cnuntry ? No .v he thought
there would be a ..eat difficulty to find General OM-
eery of this sort f,;r them all, and therefore rhe ,words!

this would not crease 3ry di.fficnlty., And this si,e-

On the Clause being read which gives the. C4m-
manding Officer power to dismiss Members ffom the
Volunteer Corps,
r HILLIARD suggested that the Commander
of a Corps should, when lie dismissed a Mem*
from the Corps, assign his reasons. for it.
ITT said, that he could not conceive why
a Cointnander of a Corps should_be called upon to as-
sign his reason for dismissing a Member, because it
must undoubtedly be the wish of every Commander
ofd Corps to endeavour to keep the Members.Of it
togethir ; and therefore it never would be done ex-
cept in cases of the last extremity. With respea
however to the Clause then before the Committee,
he did not think it was necessary, because, in his
opinion, the Commander of a Corps now possessed
that Power..

Mr. YO RKE contended that the Clause was ne.
ecssary, becAuse it was a subject upon which he
knew•thai _some doubts had existed.

Mr. F'DX. said, that if the Commanding Officer
had a poAer to dismiss any man from .a Corps,..it
fikusrbe fir whethet it would be right
td give a Cominandipg Cfri,:er absoluie power to
dismiss any member of .the Corps th,,t ',he might
think proper, he was not
.prepared to say ; "wile
did not agree with the Right 11,:n. Gentleman that
there. sv,is uu reason to apprehend ,fiat a Com.

wander of a Volunteer Corps would dismiss a titan_
capriciously : it leas very easy to,suppose a c,se; in
'a limited, Corps for instance, where a Commander
might Wish to-get out one ineMber in order- ti) in.,
traduce one whom he might think more proper or
more agreeable to him.
Mr. PITT said, that in that case he saw no ob.
.jealon to it, becatis it would only be done wet a •
man better qualified for The service, but it would he
useless to cad upon die Cotiamanding Officer to give
his reasons for dismissing a' man, because there was
power to judge whether these reasons Were,good or
not.

TheC HANCELLOR''qf Me EXCHEQUER said,
he would not wish to give power to the Com-
manding Officer to such an extent as 'was contend.
ed for by the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. PITT) ;
yet at the same tune he thought there ought to be
more power given to the Commander of a. Corps
.than was proposed by this Bill. The grounds upon
which
.a Member might be dismisSed were only
misbehaviour,- disobedience of orders, and non.at-
tendance; there was no provision made for the case
Of insufficiency, therefore he thought further powers
:ought to be given to the Commander, though not to
the extent propbled by the Right Hon. Gentleman.
Mr. FOX said, that if there was any limitation
on the poWer 4: the Commanding Officer to dismiss
a. Member of his Corps, he ought to be bound to
assigohis.reaspn for it, because otherwise there
..v.ould be no use whatever in a limitation. It
Might be said.that a Member improperly dismissed.
miOtt bring hisyetion against the Officer who had
so abused his power, but even a declaration could
not be framed uriless the cause of dismissal was stat.
ed. lie could riot at present state whether the Com-
mander might or. not to have spch a power, but he
was convinced that if the power of the Commander
was litiiited as to particular causes of dismission, he
ought to be coMpelled,to assign his reasons for it.
Mr. PITT sold, he was still of opinion that
the Commander of the COrps had the lull power
which, had:been mentioned.;"if, however, the Com-
rhittee were of opinion that that power ought, to be
limited, there could' be no doubt but that the Ccim.
mander ought to be obliged to assign his reason
for dismissing a Member, because otherwise the li.
mitation would be absutd.

After a long conversation the Cause was amend,
ed, by inSersing.the wort,,rittlter mentioning the
,power of the Commander to dismiss '4' Member)
" fur miscondua, disObediedice of ti't:drs, non-at.:
tendance, insufficiency, or any other sufficient
cause."

Mr. RAlNE•then moved,. that the Commander
of the Corps dismissing any Member should be oh,
liged to assign his reason fur so doing. This pro-
duced a conversation of considerable length, in
which Sir Jou N NICHaLtS contended that it would
be :destrudive of the diseipline of• a Regiment to
compel the.olECer to assign his reasons for dismissing.;
a Member, betause whq was to judge of ihe validity
'of the reasons ? WOuld it be said• that the Deputy'
Lieutenants were to decide ? If that were the case,
and they were ,to determine that a man had been.
imoroperly.dismissed, be would .ask.what discipline'
Conti subsist `in.a tßegiment when a man was sent
back after he had been dismissed by his Colonel ?
Besides it should be iecoiletted, that every Volunteer
Vad the•power of resigning, and therefore there was
no reason to apprehend any great abuse of power in
the Commanding Officer, because in point of fait
:his power in the Regiment, depended upon the good
opinion tile-Corps entertained of him.
; Genera' CHURCHILL proposed, that instead of
giving the. power. to. the Commanding Officer of
dismissing a Member, it should be left to a Court
of Inquiry. . •
Mr. BRAGGE said, . that -of all the measures'
which had been proposed, that of a Court of Inquiry
appeared to hi•rafto be the best. If however there
was.to. be any appeal from the decision of a Corn.
manlier of a Corps, it ought to he to the Lord• Lieu.
_tenant, .and not to the Deputy Lieutenatrs.
Mr.-,ROSE said, the duties of the Lord Lieu-
tenant, particulaily in the maritime counties, ' were,
even now much too:onerous.

Mr.YORKE said, he did not think that absolute
power ought toile given to theCommand.ing Officer;
and yet he had not wade up itisf:minti•asi rb the ques...
Lion of Appeal ; he thereforeiwisbed•dot the Com-
mittee would ,defer the consideration of this .Clause
till, the Report, when Gentlemen would be enabled
to consider. and_, make up their minds on the sub:
jet. • • • I •
Yr: FbX said; that whatever determination .the
Committee might come to,
_lie_ hoped they would
express it cleerrly, so that, there might be no Occa-
sion for arather Explanatory VOlunteer Bill, and
another .opinion- .from the ATTORNEY GENERAL :
if it was tflougiit right= to give this power to the
Commanding Officers, let the Volunteers•be told so
plainly at once,; all he wanted was that the Bill
should speak plainly and imp lligibly. He begged
to ask the Arroxr“y .GEN ERA. whether, if a Com-
manding Qfficer,disMissed a Member improperly, the
latter could maintain an Action for it ?

The /IPEORNEY GE..VERAL replied in the
affirmative.

Mr. SLOANE said, he was so convinced that
absolute power ought to be invested in the Com.
minding OfF,cer, that he was determined to take
the opinion of the Committee upon the propriety of
leaving out all the Clause except the first three
lines.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
he did not think it consistent with the praCtice of
that House, nor with the courtesy which Members
of Parliament used to one another, to press for a
decision upon a stibjeCt upon wbich'so many Mem-
bers had expressed doubts, and upon which it
was so necessary 'that some time should be- given to
consider a subjeCt of such great importance. He
confessed he had not made, tip mind upon the
subjeet, and he took no s,tajame,to himself for mak-
ing that declaration, because:it was,a Questiou of
great delicacy.
Mr. FOX said, if he were compelled to decide
at present, he should vote against it, because it
would be open to the framers of.the Bill, if ibis
Clause was rejeCled,, to bring up another on the
Report, or, even, in the Committee ; as.to the pre-
sent. Clause, every 121;14; seemed to „be agreed ghat
o it uglit not to stand; the only Ouestion Was,
whether the Committee would not now reject those

words which meant nothing, in :order that they
might insert others which meant something; or
whether they would leave the present Clause stand-
ing, with the intention to.alter it on ,the Report ?

Mr. PITT said, he did. not consider that the
Commiite,t would by leaving out this Clause at pre-
sent, express any' final determination upon the sub_
Jed ; but as eve!), body was agreed that this Clause
could not remain as it was, he thought it would be
more convenient to leave it out altogether, so that
a fresh Clause, might be brought up on the Repom
He wgit,hoWever-.lar from wishing to press the
framekspf.the.B4l;,to a decision upon this important
point at present..., By deferring the consideration of
the subject a the Report, Gentlemen might be
enabled to make up their opinion upon it, and even
the framers of the Bill might by that time make up
their opinion, whiCh'he trusted would be less hostile
to the opinion he had advanced than they now seem-
ed to be. •

After a few words from Dt.,LAWRENCE, Mr.
CAREW, .Mr. HOBHOUSE, and Sir WM. GEARY,
the House divided upon the Clause.
Ayes for the Clause standing part of the

• On the Clause relative to the right of Volunteers
to resign,
Mr. P/Trobserved, that there ought to he some
time allowed for the notice of Resignation, in order
to prevent per Sons from Withdrawing in consequence
of nrimentary disgust ; and secondly, to afford the
means tOconitnancling Officers of obtaining some
other person to fill up the vacancy.
After a few words from Mr. Secretary YORKE
and the. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, it was
agreed that fourteen days notice should be given
atter the Ist of April, the power of.Reqignationin
the mean time to remain uncontrnuled.

Sir. ROBERT LAWLEY stated the hardship
.which would result to a servant, who being inrolled
in a Volunteer Corps, quitted his master's -service,
and went into another part of the country, and•in.
rolled himself in another Corps, whilst, in the
mean tim-, he might probably be called upOn to
serve (having been previously ballotted) in the Mi-
litia or Army of Reserve. He thought that if a.,
person int:oiled himself in another Volunteer Corps,
within one,rnonth jkfter withdrar.,ving from the fbr-
mer, shOuldbe,ielcienipt:froM the effeas• of the
ballot. •
!evs,
Mr. Secretary YORKE said, it was his intention .
to propose a Clause relative to this objeet.
Mr. PITT was of opinion .that aVolunteer. With-
drawing himself ought not (it,ballotted) to be liable
to serve in the Militia •or • Ar.alj7 of Reserve until
his exemption,ha) expired, becau;i: he might with.
draw within the year, fur w!4lch 24. days previous
exercise would entitle him to exemption. •
Mr. Secretaty-YORKE„i4, the liability would
only attach to the filling up of vacancies...
• Sir !"7:,1V. WYNNE objefted to the appeal al.
lowed to the • Lord LieUtena,,t where any dispute
existed as to the resignation of a' Volunteer. The
Lord Lieutenant, he • said, might be forty or fifty
miles distant, and an appeal to him would in that
case be attended with the greatest inconvenience.
He therefore moved that the appeal should be made
to the Deputy Lieutenants of the Subdivision, neigh.
bowing Subdivision, or one Deputy Lieutenant and
one Justice of the Peace.

Cin.the Clause.relative to Allowances to be grant-
ed to Volunteer Corps ,going upon permanent duty,
Mr, PITT laving expressed a wish, th'at Mr. Sec,-
YoRKE• sh'ouid._stare his ideas upon the subjed,
Mr. Secretary YORKE stated it.,to be his inten.
ti,on to propose, that chose COrps which had been
already on perlikanerrt.duty, should. not again he• en--
titled, to ;he same.allowance on.voluntarily asst.alb-
Aing.for the same purpose..
Mr. PITT objected to this arrangement. He
understood that 24,000 men had been already on
permanent duty—aild.he thought 2+,000 Guineas a
/tilling considerations:when compared with.the be
nefits to be derived 'from these Corps again assent.'
Ming for the same pur pose. These Corpsi which
.had
assembled on permanent duty, were, he believed,
situate- iot,tpse parts of the'Country. which
were most. Qpen and exposed, and, therefore, he
thought,they ought to be encouraged by bounties to
assemble again oopermanent duty, in order to ren-
der them still more. perfed in discipline. They
had also.assembled at a time of the year when they
had•not half the means of attaining. that perfedion
of discipline which they might have had at another
period. With this view of the.subjed, he thought
that no scruple ought to be entertained about expend-
ing .2 or 300,000 Guineas for the attainment of so
important an objed as that increase of discipline
.in
the Volunteer Corps, which would be attained. by
their assembling on•permanent duty. No narrow
economy ought to:stand in the way Of such an object
so material to the Defence of the Country.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, that the Corps which had already assembled
on permanent duty, had not been called but tor the
• purpose of learning discipline, but to. perform Gar-
rison duty ; he therefore agreed that if they assem-
bled again on permanent duty, they ought to receive
a similar bounty.

General MAITLAND thought that the bounty
,given to the Volunteers for assembling on hernia.
dent `duty might injure other branches of the pub-
lic service, as, if 'they were atling with .Regular
Troops; it might tend to create discontents amongst
the latter.

Mr. Secretary YOPKE differed with the Hon:
General, as the bounty allowed to the Volunteers
was given to the Captains of, Companies to provide
them with necessaries. • . .
Mr: PITT could nqt see what difference there
was as to. any increased advantage to the men be-
tween !he bountythus given to Volunteers, and
that gi,:eri;to Regfilar .Troops on theft. first et,list,
ing, it'4l-I,;ach,:case it. produced fur a tithe an in-
creased pay. He objeeted to the mode.of paying
the bounty, to the Commanding ~Cecers, •as he
-thought_ it ought to:he given in some substantial
~shape to the Individual called out, as an inducement
to him to.attend upon such an occasion.
• General MAITLAND and Mr. Pin' wiera)));
Sir W. PO LTENEI); objected to the'idea.oir any
pecuniary inducement being licl4 out to the Vi.;lun-

teens, as he thought 'they ought to depend uPc'n Ft'b"
lic principle, and spare the Public purse.
he
Mr. PITT said, he had not inferred, that ti►
Volunteers hid no other motive than money,
he was riot surprized at the sentiments the Hon-
rimer had expressed upon the subjeCt. The u.
ine
Baronet wanted to spare money, and at the s'."-e
time to get a large .force, whether with disjpiiirn
or without. He (lid nor doubt
,the zeal of. the (3'7 • -
lunteers,\ but there might be 'many
• which rendered it necessary to give a small sulilt,lc
order to strengthen that zeal; and he, thought "'ad
Economy would be contemptible, which shouldslan
in. the way of the Safety of the Country.
Sir W. PIXLTEiCEY explained. `
Mr. WI ND! lAM inde several observations or,
the point in qUestioN : much had been said of
little importance of expence in such a 'case, ",,
did not entirely' suliscribe to such a doctrine. O'
great question to be considered was, whether die
objects proposed could not Le. got cheaper,?•-;
Safety was a great and imposing sound—i! vv3 •
a thing of the last importanee, but the Commit"
tee should recollect that the present discussioli
referred only to a chance of safety, and that .but
a very bad one, too ; it was also fair to consl‘',c,
i
whether the chance of• safety -they were ab°ii
to purchase was worth the money to he given lie
it. There were other objeCts upon which
money in question may be laid out, and wits
far greater advantage; the expence of theseihily
-was the grand: consideration ; it was the Ve4l,
sinews of War—let them consider that afTer:
they were always stopped by considerations of Pr;
pence--things went on smoothly and well untal:„.
Expence indueed hesitation. There were a Mar ,t
of ways in, which the sumof Money under cOnshl.;
ation, may be better applied—to the
of the Regular Army for instance ; that most
tive species of our force may be, in many ways c
v'an9ged by Money, and in an ipcalculably,great
proportion than the ativantages,attainable in t:;e
sent ()hied. It was by no means thought in I e
e,
t't
Country, that the monies under consideratio:l wiv.
to be applied to
.the•purposes now stated. If)
County of Norfolk, the general understanding
that the money was ,to be given for necessarles'
ttt
not as had been held, in the shape of a bountYlA-v
a bohnty renewable as often as the Force s'a°o`,:rec
called out. In concluding, he expressed ~his 1"b ip
