AILNIY AND N.IVY SEDUCTION BU L.

On the Motion of the CHANCELLott of the EX-
, CitEQUFti, the [louse went into a Committee On
the Army and Navy Seduction Bill. The [louse
having resumed, the Report was brought up.—On
the question that it be received,
Sir F. iluitnerr complained that the present
measures were hurried in skit a mantp,r through
the 'llonse, that nn thne wits allowed for the ex-
_ press;on of the sentiments of the Nation upon
thein. lie was hostile to any Bill of the kind.
CALCRAFT only opproved of the Bilk for
extending protection to the Regent, and prevent-
ing the seduction of the soldiers. -
Sir F. livantor also thought it proper that the
same protection should be extended to the person
of the Prince Regent as to that of the King ; but
objected to the inntwations which were made.
Lord FoLKSToNe thonght that the least that
could be said of the Bill,was, that it wits unne-
cessary. All knew, that if an) attempts had been
made to seduce the soldiery, they had failed. The
present meast.ie would throw a slur upon them ;
for it would make it appear, that they were so
liable to be seduced, that it wits necessary that
little flirting with them should be made puttishalde
by ho,. Ile approved of the measure which ap-
plied to the satin ty of the Prince Regent ; but
u,ith respect to the others, he lamented that we
-.should think and act so differently trout our an-
cestors,
Lord OssuLsToNi ;tko objected to innovations,
end the fctcili y with which the powers demanded
might be abused,
Sir G. HeATHCO're wished, that instead of tip-
- pearitig so jealous with regard to what was said
to soldiers, more should be entrusted to the,Civil
Lie should only give his consent to the
illeatire which tended to place the Prince Regent
on the same footing as his Maje;Oy.
The Report was then received, and the third
reading of the Bill fixed for Monday next,
YEOMANRY.

H. ADDINGToN presented Returns of the
• Yeomanry and Volunteer Corps in Great lit itain.
He should ttihe this opportunity of adverting to
the 'statement of the Hon, Member for Tllont-
gomerphire -(11r..C. W. Wynne) the other night,
• in which that Hon. Gentleman bad seemed to
con`vey an imputation against that branch of the
Go vernmeut to which lie (Mr. H. A:ldington) be-
longed, that it was not properly disposed to encon-
`rage the Yeomanry of the eonntry. He was the
more surprised-, as he and his Noble Relation were
known-to entertain the most exalted opinion of
that constitutional description of force; of the zeal,
promptness, ;dimity, and public spirit with which
they had attended the summons -of the Civil Ma-
gistrates, and on many oceatiot:s protected the
peace of the country. He bad to state, that since
the beginning of October every effort had been I
made by the: Home Secretary of State to increase
the Yeomanry in all parts of the country, espe-
cially those where the spirit of disturbance prevail-
.ol, Ile could appeal to several Hon. Members
of the House to whom applications had been made
on the subject. For several months past it bad
been not only under consideration, but deter-
mined to revive part of the allowances which wet e
formerly Made for that service. - He • had sorely
regretted their reduction at the time is ben public
economy had rendered it necessary, and he should
be most Irappy to use his best efforts to hare them.

have more effect • in maintaining.ordersthan double
the number of regular troops.
Mr. Coax (of Norfolk)• wished to guard against
the too considerable increase of that forcei though
he adMitted that it was constitittional.

Sir 11. FIECtoN thOtight the present allowances
for the Yeomanry quite sufficient, when the state
of the finances of tire country was taken into con-
