Ordered to lie on the Table.
The Prints of the Volunteer Regulation Bill be.

Lord H/tWitIsISUItY ruse, and moved the second
read ingaslehe wane,
The IterkieSUFFULX, in pursuatre rf the in.
timation be had given on a former er. •ning, took
the opportunity to &liret laia sewiateots with re.
spetr to topics of which the Bill to quest i•rif formed
a part. He professed himself the friend of the Vo.
lunteer System, which, he thought, well regulated
and applied, might he, rendered of the most essential
service to the CoUntry. It was not in his intention
to oppose the present measure. The Volunteer Force
was a great and desirable accession to the defence
of the Cots try, and what he -had to trouble their
Lordships with should principally regard the appli.
cation of such a force. He begged the attention- of
their Lordships to some circtunstances Conneded in
I .a Corps formed in that part of the country where he
resided, and composed chiefly of his own tenants :
these consisted of about'3oo men. From the rank
he had the honour to hold in His Majesty's service,.
' he could not
.be appointed to the command of the
Corps 'himself, . bur the Lord Lieutenant of the
County had the goodness to appoint his snn to iii it
station.' He however matetially -assisted in the
drilling and disciplining Of the Corps ; indeed lie
had or could obtain no other assistance in the busi.
ness than that of a Serjeant of Marines and a Cur.
poral ; they were drilled, 'he believed, about eigli.,
teen times before'they were inspe4ed ;, and the state
of discipline and order to which they had attained
.at that . period, was hardly to be credited ; they
were, upon the whole, as fioe a body of inen as he
would desire to see, and really believed he should as
soon undertake to lead them against tlie enemy, as
the Brigade of Guards which
,he had the honour to .
command in America; and Which had so greatly
signalized themselves in that :country under Lord
CORNW ALL ts and other OfficerS. He was of opinion
the Volunteers might he rendere'd Of the most esaeti.
tial, service; but every thing should he done to
conciliate eeem, anti to keep uo that military spirit
and ardour with which, in general, they seemed
aetuated. Singular as it may appear, it was yet
in the ponvidion of every man skilled in military
ta6lies, that Soldiers, particularly that description
of them' which composed the Volunteers of this
Country, may be over.disciplined ; and it were
obviously better to lead men rather miens in that
respell, than in tire least under the influence of dis.
content.- The enthusiasm of that part of the Na.
'lentil Force should he flattered u much as possible;
they should be as little harassed or fatigued as possl.
ble and above all, except in cases of dired necessity,
I
I care should he taken not to detaeh them 'from their
homes or families : many of them were in such cir.*
curnstances, that were they ' taken. from their fa.
milks end occupations, the ' former must become
parochially charge:ible : the error's. rates were se.
verely felt ,at present, especially by the land.
holders, .and he alluded to the ill consequences
which might possibly ensue in the event of their
being materially increased, He was confident
that on the occasion' of aduel . service the Vo.
lunteers would feel an ' ettmlation to equal at
least if not excel either the'Militia of the Troops
of the Line ; indeed 'all these different descrip.
buns of the National Force, would feel a laud.
able spirit of rivalship and emulatton,',whieb might.
be diretted in x
.way to prove highly serviceable
Speaking of the system of discipline -which 'he
thought it would be proper to apply to the Volun.
teens, the Noble Earl 'etpressed his ditiepprobation
of the plan of having Majors 'attached to them' ;
those probably would he lnclined to assimilate the
Volunteers to the military st:ateM of discipline, in
ton great a degree,-end possibly may conduct clim«
selves in other respettilia'a avt9; not agreeable to
the menabers.Of Volunteer CorptG Another consi.
deration, end not an imtnAteri,ii one, mss considering
the preaenr,eoetestlikely to he protaeted, militated
' against ittscht(idan, namely that of economy the
regulation „idiotic(' to, would, certainly involve A
considerable expence.;- but' there was a certain de.
scription of, regui.ir aSaistimee `which he thoiight
the Volunteers stood in reed of, namely the as.
sistence of Adjutants properly qualified, and as
still more iudispensibte,. the assistance of Set.
jeant Majors, and these regulations would. com.
earache!), be attended with no great expellee,
He had the highest expedat lons from the Volunteers,
end.it:w'as to be remembered tbatat the commence.
merit of the Frenth Military operationss they. were
more Indebted to the exertions of their Volunteers
than even to the Trot.ps of the Litre, and. infinitely
more so than to
.the cervices of those Conscripts
whti were dragged into action. His Lordship then
proceeded to. rake a- genetal view of a Ddiasaivs,
System, with a reference to the event of Invasion.
One Oahe thils, which first s' ruck him' as m t
pro.peeto be done, was the establishment Of a great

wards different parts of the Coast, as occasion
may require. Near to this depto, a great rtn.
devious of troops may be also established, and.
which may be periodically changed. Their Lord.
ships Would recolleet that such a depot as he had in
contemplation-, was long since, and- most judici.
oiAly established in the center of Ireland, namely,
at the town of Athlone. He would by no means
tea:man-end that military depots should bc esta.
blished on the Coasts, or nearer to them than the
distance.of a forced march, or thirty miles. What
would be the consequence if the Enemy took pos.
session of a military depet They wouta find
theraiselves at once provided with every thing ne.
cessary, and more especially witk several impor-
tant articles, it was impossible they could &ring,
with them. He then proceeded to recommend. the
ereaimi at proper stations on the Coast, of Martell°
'Forts. These would be found of inconceivable ser.
'Vice in repelling the Enemy ; the expenee of cid/.
ing would nor be great, they were of a circular
form, with a roof nearly Hat, or. hut little sloped,
and formed so as to be bomb-proof, In them a Piece
of ordnance was transversely fixed, and so as to move
'round, and capable of being pointed in any diration ;
the resiStance those erettions were capable of was
exemplified in an affair which took place on the
coast of Corsica last War. One of these was at.
tacked by a ship of the Line (he believed it was
,the TerribleY commanded by Captain,Young ;. and
Svhich was assisted by a 4c) gun ship : in the course
of a spi‘ired conflift, the `l'rr;hle Was more than
onae set on fire, as red-hot balls were discharged
frcim the Tower mOre thin once. The result was,
that both vessels were heat otr, and oar Troops
were afterwards obliged regularly to open trenches-
against the Tower before it Surrendered. His !
*Lordship was proceeding to animadvert upon other
topics conneded with the Defence of the Cotintry,
when he was called to order hy
Lord 110 11 A R.Ti who begged leave to remind
the Noble Earl and the House, what the sub.
jeet regularly under consideration was, whether
a Bill, to explain and amend two Aets passed in•
the +id and 43(1 year of the King, relating to Vo.
lunteer Corps, should be read a second time. It was
in the judgment of their Lordshilis; hoW far a great
part at what has! fallen from the Noble Earl was
relevant to such a consideration.

The Earl of SUFFOLK proceeded :—he should
endeavonr to avoid any matter which may be
e(,nsidered as disorderly, as far as possible :
he continued to expatiate upon such topics as
he conceived to be, in some degree cOnneeted.:
with the subjet,l before the House ; and, adverting
'to the state of Ireland, he observed, that he had
lately received a Letter from a particular friend
61.* his, an Officer of great professional merit,
and who Was a DistriCt General in that part of the
United Kingdom, He alluded to Sir Eyre Coote ;
the letter was of a very consolatory description :
the Officer in question had traversed Soo miles of
that Country, and the description which he gave,
he was sure would be vety satisfaCtory to several
Noble Lords who heard him. Ile begged, he might
~be allowed to react the letter as part of his speech.

Lord II AWKE SBURY rose to order. He felt it
ineumbent on Into to interpose on such an occasion,
;Ind to advert to the obvious impropriety of suffer-
ing rhe Communicationsof a General Officer corn.
in.indiog a Distritt, stating what his private opi.
nions s Cre on tliics of so much delicacy and im.
portance, id be so promulgated. Whether the corn.
Ill'iniCat ion was of a favourable or a tli3;nlv4ittagcou3
nature nvittcrcd tint, in his view of such a proceed-
iloc! the prat'fice It thought %vas highly improper,
were it ,Anreted to Fro,;iil, it might be recur-
red to incases where the intelligence %vas of an op.
polite de,,cription. Advcrtin,g to the irregularity
blwliat fell from the Noble Earl in point of Order,
he foflowed the exatifple of his Noble Friend, in
grating to their Lordships what was the precise
kliestion before them,
• The Earl ofSUFFC.3LIC again rose, and after ob.
serving that he stood corrected, proceeded to ob.
,g,ztve upon certain procecdirgs which illustrated
ilv.t professional abilities of his Hon. Friend, the
General Officer in question. He particularly ad.
vetted to some circumstances connefted with the
taking or the evacuation of Alexandria, when
The LORD CHANCELLOR quitted the Wool,
inck; and deemed it incumbent on him to interpose
tespeaing the question of order. It was with pain
that he' felt himself called upon so to interrupt the
Noble Earl, a great deal of what fell from whom
may, he thought, be better heard in other places.—+-
iis
Lordship then put the question upon the Bill,
when.

Lord GRENVILLE rose; he did not mean, he
observed; to occupy their Lordships' time at present
with. tiny detailed observations upon the general
sobjeCt of which the Bill before them formed a part,
though he perhaps might take an opportunity to do
so, consistently with the Orders of the liouse ;
.for
that important consideration, he trusted a regular
opportunity would arise, and at an early period af.
ter the ensuing recess. He was aware that the sub.
jest, consider ling it in all its vii Ws and bearings,
was one not only of the highest importance, .but of
the complex detail, and Parliament was loudly
called upon to take it into its most serious considera-
tion. He regretted that any matter conncaed with a
subjea, of such great importance should be brought in
at a period of the Session wherein a very short time
could he expeaed for its discussion. He was the genu.
int friend, 4s his conduct and the dedication of much
of his time and personal exertions had abundantly
proved, of the Volunteer System. He thought that
force, properly direeled; might be rendered of the
greatest service, especially with a view to second.
tog the efforts and • supporting the 'troops of
the Line. Respeding the measure more immediately
Imfore the House, his Lordship made a variety
of detailed observations. He seemed to consider it,
standing as it did, with reference to the Arts of
the 42.41 and 431 of the King, as to fill short of
its professed object, and in a very small, or in no
degree, to obviate the difficulties in question. His
Lordship took 3 review of the provisions of the Bill,
and dilly'. leading enadments of the A 61.4 of the 42d
and 43d of his present Majesty, and argued that on a
consideration of 'the whole,not only a great degree of
incongruity, and in some instances a continued con.
ttadiCtion paip.tb4 obtained. fie adverted principally

•• r

he thought much too little, AS going to exempt ftom
serviee in the Militia ; and also with respeCt to the
peridd of zei, or a+ days,- for it did nor, Ire said,
clearly appear whieh was intended, that entitled to
exemption from the Army of Reserve : but, above
all, the Noble Lord appeared to lay the greatest.
stress on the provisions which had been made for
the Commanding Officers of Corps to return and
certify Lists or Muster.rolls of those serving in
their respedive Corps, who were entitles so exemp.
tions, or who were not, &c. s and this, itt the'
way particularized by his Lordship, was &rated
to be done and declared upon the honour of such
Officers), in a contradidory and imprafticable mart.
ner. Not a little of which latter consideration
would arise from the necessity such Officers were.
under of making themselves masters of all the
provisions of the Ads he had alluded
It would be a more regular and efficaciot, way
were these two Ads to be repealed, and cer.
taro parts of them moulded into a clause, which
might be introduced into the present Bill, or the
whole of such of the existing regulations as it would
be wise to continue, condensed into one regular,
clear, and explicit Ad. He threw out these sug-
gestions on the present occasion, as probably he
would not have a fame opportunity in the dis.
cussion of the Bill before! the House. In illustrat-
ing these points, the . Noble Lord made frequent
references to the Ads above mentioned, and
evinced himself a pert-eft master of the "subject. In
the concluding part of his address, his Lordship
glanced at some considerations connetted with the
general subject of the Volunteer System, and which,
as being of great and fundamental importance, me.
rited the most "serious and speedy attention of His
Majesty's Government, and of the Legislature.—
He alluded to any thing in the Volunteer System,
.as it .was now organized, which might clash with
the Military .riNciple as cortetei.plated end autho.
risen by the Constiottion of Great Britain. He
seemed to allude in a certain degree to the present
mode of the eh:llion of Officers, and more especially
to the appointment or election of Military Commit-
tees among the Volunteer Corps, for whatever pur.
poses, and more particularly with a view to coneerne
of deliberation ; all which appeared to him to clash
with the Military principle as recognised by the
Constitution of this Country. * It would be in the
recollection of the (louse what had happened in a
neighbouring Country, and which led to the over.
throw of its Monarchy, and it would be for serious
consideration how far such a consummation resulted
from proceedings not very dissimilar in their prin.
ciples from those he had alluded to.
Lord HOBART spoke shortly in answer to what
had fallen from the Noble Lord. With reaped to
the general subject, he neettScareely observe, it was
in the serious consideration of His Majesty's Go.
vertunent, and every pradicable opportunity would
be taken to ameliorate, the Volunteer System, and
to render that part of the National Force as efficaci.
ous as possible. With resped to the difficelties
upon which so much stress had loien laid"by the
Noble Lord, they certainly appeared to him in a
very different light, and he contended that the Bill
before the House, as far as it applied, went ,to ob.
viate them—it went to settle the important point
of the Ex-rnptions. With rasped to the Returns,
no contradi4ory consideration appeared to isbn in
time mode chalked out for those pro,:,:edings,
and although the Officer whole duty was to
make the Returns alluded to, h possibly not
he a perfea master of the I•r,7o,i,Mons of the
Regulating Aas, yet, he may easily obtain the
necessary degree of information. He could by
no means admit the Noble
.Lord's position, that
the present Was Such an advanced period of time
Session, as to render a thorough investigation of the
subject impratticable. With a reference to the en.
suing recess, which would cause a temporary sepa.
ration of their Lordships, such an observation to a
certain extent, did apply, yet the Session would sub.
sequently be sufficiently long fur every purpose ad.
vetted to and he had also to observe, that the pre.
sent Bill, as indeed every measure of the kind should,
contained a provision, authorizing its alteration or
repeal in.the course of the present Session.
The Bart of ROMNE.Y professed himself, a
warm friend to the Volunteer System, and avowed
his entertaining the greatest expedation of their
being of important service ; the office he had the
honour to fill (Lord Lieut. of the County of Kent)
affording him an opportnnity of knowing a good
deal concerning the Volunteer Corps—But he smiled
of opinion, that much Legislative interference was
still necessary to the adequate amelioration of the
system. He adverted principally to the very dif.
ferent footings in which certain Corps were, in
some respeds, placed, &c. He thought all the
Corps should, as far as possible, be placed upon
an equal footing, which would greatly tend to oh.
viate all feelings of jealuuly or ifLwiil which might
otherwise obtain. The measure at present, as a step
towards that adequate amelioration he so much
wished for, had his hearty assent ; it was a measure
for which in justice the Volunteers had to look to
the Legislature, and be would press to the attention
of His Majesty's Government the propriety of
giving every possible proper facility to the Vo.
lunteer system. In the course of his speech, the
Noble Earl made some allusion to the allowanees
to be made, which he treated in such a way as prin.
cipally called up
Lord INBART in explanation, in the course of
which he observed, that time expenses which may
be incurred in the way alluded to, would not amount
to less than the immense sum of four millions.

The Earl of ROMNEY shortly explained, and
in handsome terms bore testimony to the amenity
of the Noble Secretary official condua, as experi.
enced by himself, and of his readinlss to afford
every facility to the transauion of the official busi.
ness which had occurred between them.
The Earl of DARNLEY deli vered his sentiments
at some length : lie expressed his acquiescence in
a dreat deal of what fell from the Noble Earl who
preceded him, as well as in ',limy of the observa.
bons of the Noble Lord who spoke second in the
Delyite, and %vha htht expressed them in a More
striking and forcible way (hail he could possibly
pretend to. 'lie alluded to a query he had put to the
Nt ble Secretary of State, relative to the intention
of His iViajesty's Ministers with. resped to Volun.

LONDON, DECEMBER 27, 1803.

THIS morning arrived a Mail from America
brought to Falmouth on Wednesday last by th
Princess 4arelia Packet in thirty-three days. By
this conveyance we. have New-York Papers to the
t 2th of November. The Daily Ativtrtiur of the
tth has the following Article, extra led from the
ll'alloington Federalist
•' We mentioned in our Paper of Monday last,, that we•had
no doubt of the truth of the report, that the Spanish Minister
had remonstrated with out Governnrait, against its taking
possession of Louisiana. The Minister goes further, he avows
the determination of defending the Country against every at-
tempt to dispossess them. The little Marquis takes many
airs upon the occasion, and speaks with great contempt of
our Army. The Spanish Intendant of Louisiana openly de-
clues his determination not to give up the Country."
The Fever had considerably abated at New-York,
and hopes were entertained that it would speedily
wholly disappear.

Mr. MERILY had landed at Norfolk, and the
Phaeton Frigate had anchored on the loth on the
Quarantine Ground at New-York, after a passage
of forty-two days from Spithead.

another through which it has come, we ,think thati
little doubt ought to be entertained upon the faa.
If such an event then has really taken place, how
much is the Country indebted to AdmiraVitnintsa
for the promptitude, energy, and spirit of his coo-
duet, for it is a faft, which if it were not VII
known would hardly be believed, that it was two
months after the commencement of the War before
any Orders were dispatched from the Admiralty
to
the Naval Commandant in the Indian Seas. There
is a boldness in taking upon himself so great a de•
gree of responsibility, which those who know Ad-
miral Itsasreit best are well informed is a distin-
guishing feature in his manly thwarter, and the
benefit which his Country derives from this exer,
tion of his spirit and judgment must excite as much
gratitude as that does admiration and applaug.
As the Country has been saved by the vole:tory
spirit of the People, without any aid from the fa'
cutlet Government whose duty it is to fend ang
direct that spirit to its objet, so our Officers ARO
have been left pretty much to their own diners'
