" The army of Colombia deserves that the Government
should offer anew, a public testimony of its high sense of their
virtues. The soldiers of Colombia have fought at a distance
from their country, with the same glory with which they main-

us to maintain it, and as the greater part of the expence stated
in the estimate is required for our .military establishment, I
have to recorarnend to you, as a means of reducing the amount i
of the estimate, the regulation of the national 'Minix on such a
footing, as to render it useful, to the extent contemplated on

classes of the community.
The Earl of MA LffIESBEIRV would not enter into any
argument on the main subject Of this petition; but with regard
to what it stated respectinmthe-,landlortlx, he obserVed that the
present state plthings, instead of rendering a Jessprotection to
agriculture necessary, many reasons existed for increasing it.
When the quetion .carne forward, he hoped it would be dis-
cussed temperately, for no toes/ion was more calculated to ex-
cite animosity. It ought not to be said by the petitioners or
others thut the landlords had been trying experiments with re-
speet to free trade, on the petitioners, which they would not
make on the
of inselves. The landlords did not wish to matte the
experimentfree trade, but the parties applied fbr it them-
selves. If atiy persons came forward and Said that their inte-
rsts would be injured by free trade, lie would support theta in
opposing- it.
