Would not do, for that it contained some exemp,
lions which must be changed—now he should hope,,

7 - tardy operation which seemed to have been so gene.
-rally apprehended, The Right Hon. Gentleman,
opposite to him (the SECRETARY at NVAR)i him-
. self, seemed at first to have thought that an altera-i
lion ought taltave been made in the age ; for he,
had proposed it from the age of ,t&to 60, instead of ,
8 and 4s, which was the state of the old list. Now,
be shOuld hope and think that this alteration in the,
list would create 'no material delay. He really
wished not to leave out of this levy persons above
the age
.of 4s, nor any of those, who were of.con.
siderable property, but that they might be made to'
find substitutes, and the leaving them out of the-
levy was a great &lea indeed ; yet if it materially'
retarded the Bill, he should not wish to press it ;. ;
but he could not, help thinking that nothing could '
be much more easy, than to instrtid the'Constables'
of the Parishes to make our the- new list of 'those
who paid to the Assessed Taxes 301. a year ; this
they might do .feom the Tax Office. This was an
easy operation, and would occasion no delay what.:
ever.
Colonel WOOD thbught it would be proper to
reserve this primiple for, another measure, in which,
property might be made the criterion, and it might:
be fit to raise a Tax for that purpose, He did not:
. approve of the idea of making the person who paid
only 30!. a-year to: the Assoased Taxes'contribute
as much to the New Levy of Men•as the.person:
who paid tool. a-year to the Assessed Taxes—if
one of them ooght, to find one Man byway. of Sub.
stitute,:the other ought to find three. .. . . ,
The 'CHANCELLOR cf the EXC HEQU I? I!
• thought that Gentlemen attached too much int.;
. nuance to the incOnvenienee which would. e felt

and if so,. the old list 'would net do.
The C lIANCELLOR of the EXCIIEVER
ebsers,ed, that from the experience of the last War,
we were justified in expeCting that the capacity of.,
the Country could furniili a much larger nundiet
-.- than was liege proposed. We might look to the
Tibt with increased confidence for producing. this
number by ballot, becatise a greater number of Vo.:
iunteers were then raised, who were entitled. to ex-
• eruption, than were now in that situation. 'These
NOlnoteers limited the number to be ballotted in the
'4m 'War. Such ,of them as had not been accepted
;:w94,1d not now : (iaa!plita t exemption, and therefore ,
the number of thOse who were, liable to be ballotted :
tinder this Bill would be proportionably increased ;
hut, hoWever,'petwer, might be given in particidar
cases to amend.the Liit, in the, event of some dis. ,
*rift not being able to furnish its number. Out
,' what he chiefly,wished to impress ,on the considera-
,
• • tion of the Committee was, that from the ballot
from the age-of rB' to 45, there' was not a larger
number called forth, or very little, larger., under ;
this Bill, titan had-been ballotted for the Militia in '
1 the coutse of 'the last War, when the mitrilier 'ot
sexemptions was greater, on account of Volunteers,
than at - present ; and besides this, there were a
• much greater number then in our Army and Navy
than there are at present; so that, upon the whole
matter, the risk of being drawn now :toss much
less than it was at one period of the last War.
Mr: 114.187:AR D said, lie did not mean to say that
Ave could not get the media the Country, he only
referred to the Lists of some particular 'districts
which he had said must-be amended,. because there .
'would not be in them a sufficient number to au, wer '
the Levy. . ,
.
-Mr. 'PITT said, he wished to add eme-obierva'.
-lion to what he had already etated, which :was, to
shew.how little loss there would-be to the. number.,
of the Levy proposed by the Bill in its present state,
by foregoing the advantage of adding to, it all those
who contributed) to, the Assessed !':arcs 301. a year.-
Those of all ages who euntributed cu time A.e,seti
i
I '!'axes 301. a year and itpwarttt, were not above

would make it into. ossible, 'in .many parts of

in this -particular we 'slight huitate France,- if in

• Country will defend itself ; he had no doubt it
might, but there must be .a nuchlus:; the proceedings
of Parliament' were of , that charafter. He thought
that no time ought to be lost—and•lt did not
late to say, that lithe other House-took up as much"
time as th 6 CoMmittee had bestowed upon this sub..
jea, that - would be time improvidently lost.—
He doubted whether the plan which had been
stated relative to the contribution was as efficient
as it had been hitherto stated. lie was not pre.
sent amenable- to the Militia Bill now before the
Committee, hut he understood these were to be:
other laws to ibe brought forward, by which men
would be called upon to contribute to the support
of the State, in raising a Force according to their
,property, not as might appear by the Books of 'the
.Collectors of Taxes he hoped; not according to
the age of '45 or so, but in some better manner,
and therefore he was of opinion that :the amend.
merit propoaed ought not to he adopted.
It was then determined by the Committee that
the 014 List for balloting should be, abided by.
The SECRETARY at WAR said, he was persuad-
ed upon re.corsideration, that his proposed amend.
inents, as to the age and alteration of the List, were
rightly rejeaed for the reasons already given.
The Committee' then proceeded upon the subjeft
of Exemptions from the ballot, under the present
Bill.

Sir PuLTENey.observed, that alterations in
the exemptions would necessarily do that which the
Committee had already expressed its wish should
not be done—namely, create an alter;tion in the
List, and thereby impede the progress of the
Mr. Icxstr4AlßD thought that the principle of
Property,'its, a criterion upon this Bill, was now
abandoned :—But if Peers of the Realm, and Mem-
bers of Parliament, and Judges, were made liable,
he did not sec why ia class, of which he did not
mean to Speak with disrespea. or irreverence, the

Clergy, should 'be exempted.
Sir W.•Youtqc observed, that if the old ex.
-emptions were not adhered to; new Lists must be
:made, the inconveniency of which the Committee
had already lel t. • •
. Mr. W. SMITH thought the exemptions were a
subjed deserving :of grave coniidetation ; but al.-
though he Was aware there Was much abase in this
particular, as persons becoming preachers for the put.

ten, that the Toleration Ail allowed it, and that
Prd was not to be lightly touched.

adopted in cOnfOrmity to precedent.
• On 'the sobjeil of the exemptions of 'the Volun.
:jeer Corps, the SgcRETAKY-itt WAR proposed also
to fallow the precedent of the year 1196; that
'none should be exempted from. this Levy, whose set.
'vices had not been received on or before the 22A of
this month, which produced 'a long conversation.
The CHANCELIMROI the EXCI4EQU'r,R ObSert'CLl,
that it had not been deemed. expedient for Govern-
ment dir determine what Volunteer Service 4,-uuld be
atieepted until the sense of Parliament shall have
been expressed upon tlutpresent Levy.
Several Hon. Members spoke upon thIS
and at considers's& length : it was propased r!)at
the day should be altered from the 2ad to the 6th
of this month, for that it was observable that since
the apprehension of this new Levy, the VolUnteer
Corps had beep greatly crowded ; and it w as -gene-
ialiy-expresied as an expeaation that nu Volunteer
Corps Shall' be exempted unless some equivalent
sloili,be given for the exemption, Such, for instance;
as 'security-for coittiouance in the service, because
otherwise persons' might intot themsdves in a Via.
luntoei Corps until after the ballot was over,, and
then discontinue such Volunteer service. It wad
'then agreed, that the .Exemption of the Volunteer
Corps should take place only with reaped to those
whose- services were accepted on or before the aid
of this month.
On Clause 1 ath,
Colonel. CRAWrtiltyll suggested that the men bAI.
lotted ought to be enrolledoo serve His Majesty in
any Regiment • His Majesty chose to appoint tot that
purpose. If the Prench landed, we must have an
Arrny of old and .Regular Troops to oppose 'them,
Or Otherwise they Might gain possession of London,
by which the Country would •be placed in

in a state of preparatioty ,the' Ports of Holland;
which were manned With as `good- Pilots ..as the
Trinity.house could afford, and the French had' the
means of transporting t oo,opo men to this Coun.
try.- He could iwt conceive what difference it could
Make if the men ballotted for were plaCed ivy any Re.

The SECRETARY at WAR, said, if the FlOn.,Gen.
tleMan had'ivaited a little longer, he woUld-lutVe
found that rite Bill. would have provided fat the
l,urposes he had alluded to. A power was to be
given to His Majesty to plate the men raised under
this Mt, in such Regiments as His Majesty. should
think fit, provided such Regiments ghotilti serve
only in Great Britain and Ireland, Guernsey, and
Jersey. The men raised•under•this,Ad were not to

Mr. WINDHAM said, tint a great clamour had
been raised against.him few days since, because
he had ventured to bin at the possibility. of the
French obtaining possession of LOndon-: he was.
%happy now to hear something •in cOnfi;nuttion of
that from the Hun. who had' lately. spoken
(Colonel Crawford), and from the Hon. Gentleman
who had just sat.down, whose sentiments, so similar
to his own, had now met with approbation. If the
thing was possible, it ought to be proVided against.
Fie was glad to see them. roused to acne 4 their
danger, which seemed to past been wanting. This
measure, tardily
,brought forward, was mit an answer
to-what he had urged; he could not sec that spirit in
the Country which was talked of; he rather Con-
sidered that there was a sort of apathy, which, per-
haps was in a great measure to be attributed to the
want of confidence in. Ministers

The CHANCELLOrt of the FAXC EQU FR said, the
Right Hein. Gentleman (Mr.' W Dti Alq) 11:1d, idler
giving sktnptoms of that apathy which he imputed
to the Country, appeared to he roused by the sen.
