MILITARY- ESTATILISLINIENT.

Lord NUGENT presented a Petition tram Ayles-,
bury, complaining of the want of ptildie.economy,
of the state or the-currency, HMI of -the mainten-
ance'a a large standing army in time Of peace.
'file Noble took oecaSib:i 'to eongratidate
the Howie on the victory gained over Ministers
on their attempting to renew the Property Tax.
He tiled spoke at some length against the stitittl-
ing army now to be maintained during peace,
and contended, in therwords of the Petition, that
there was reason fear thOse now sent tb
keep down•the popular feeling in Franec„ might
one day be called home to extinguish what re-
mahted OE public spit it in Engl,nid."
Lord G. CAVgt,misti believed the sentiments ex-
pressed In this Petition were not confined to the
town of Nylesbui v, but, were CO611111)6 to the
, Conn-
try.at large.' He now gave notice that it was his
intentitm, shortly after, the recess, •to bring be-
fore fbe House a motion' on the subject princi-
pally referred to in the Petition. •
LIFE GUARDS IN THE STREETS OF LONDON.

• Lord MIL-rom•depreented the maintenance"of
Liege military force in time of pence. lie .held
Obi to be a subject of no mean importance ; and
a circumstance had Occurred that very day which
tended to prove the military system of the coon-
try might be viewed with rational alarm. Ile.had
that Morning been going along Pall-mall; in an
open carriage,' with a Noble Friend of his, when
they tool been stopped by 'the Court Guards,•and
prevented from proceeding to the place to which
they had intended to. go. His Noble Friend had
asked the person who detained them his name,'
and by what authority he took
,upon himself to
stop them on the King's highway. He had not
answered this question, and refused:to give his
name, tint struck thchorse;at the saute time say-
ing, you proceed I will Strike you too,"
This had been done—the horse struck by the
sword, and in Pail-mall,, which was a tolerably
long street, at a time when there were.. not.
ten carriages in it; and this. was what was
called keeping the peace. The peace, it would
time be leen, was to be kept by striking the

horses and threatening the persons of his Ma.'
jesty's liege subjects, if they ventured- to proceed

Accustomed the Public to see that done by soldierts
which ought to be done by 'constable, 314i,i the
Civil. Power. He did not wish to encourage riots
in the street-a.far from it but he contended that
the 11ilitary ought only to be called in when the
civil officer was unable to preserve the !tenet,.
Lord CASTLEHEAGH wasamt aware that there
was any thing novel in the means'used to clear
the avenues of the Court. If :any
dier had been guilty of an outrage, he was sot
for it ; hut he doubted not the &oble'Lord, with'
all the world, would bear testimony to the temper
and propriety with which the English .soldier in-
-variably performed Otis duty on occasions like that
referred to—(No; no, from the Opposition.) lie

rangernetit had been made for the day he !thew
not ; but he was sure it could only have been in-.
tended to preserve the peace, and was not daa
signed to introduce any novel or unnecessary use
of the Military.
Lord MILTot.I was sure the object of thearrange
merit was to preserve Order; but be 'objected to
the Military-being used for that purpose.
Lard NOOtttNT said, none could witness the coo-;
duet of the English soldier on each occasions,
without admit ing the temper with which he per-
formed his ditty. On the present. occasion, it did
not appear that the soldier bad o%erStepped his
duty, but it was fit that this &nose iboidd in-
quire under what authority Ire acted.
Lord CASTLEttgAGIi said the Military cotild only
have been employed as a matter of convenience,
as they were et a review, to epress the (row('
and to this no objection could fairly be urged, so
the measure were not exteoded beyond the neeet-
,sity of the case. In this country it had been usual
to employ soldiers to keep the peace on all Court
Days,
Mr. TIERNE' thought the Noble Lord had ad-
mitted the case to he rather of a novel nature.
When the Court was held at BuCkiughato Howe,'
he did not see''the necessity of stationing Guards
its Pall Mall. ' The Military ought only to ;be
brought forward when the Civil'Power prove 4 in
sufficient to preserve the peace. Some irregaOlty,
seemed to have occurred in the ease of hia Made:
Friend, which might have been attended with very
serious consequences. Suppose, in\tead of a per-
son possessed of the discretion of his Noble Friend,
some intemperate young earth bad been stopped as
,he (Lord, Milton) had been : in this case a mur-
der might have been immediately committed if
the Gentle Man bad insisted upon going on. 'What
would be thought if the Strand were to be liued
with soldiers on the occasion of an entertainment
being given at the Mansion House ? The impro-
priety of this would at once be seen ;- and yet the
concourse of Carriages and the crowd were as great
on such an occasion as they could, be at the en-
trance of the Palace on any Cbrart day. He men-
tioned the Mansion House, as soldiers were never
employed to keep the peace there. This duty
was invariably performed by' the civil officers,
and greater decorum, could not be maintained any
where.- - • • ' '
Lord CAtiTLEttrACM denied that be had admit rod
there was any novelty in the arrangements of.the
day. •He ako contended that there seas no (Its.
position to.catploy soldiers to the inconvenieticb •
of the Public.
• Mr. ‘VYtaisE complained of the innovation which
the present case irresented, in the assumption of a
right to step his Majesty's subjects on the oriai;9ll
of the Queen holding a drawing-room. lie had,thar
day , seen the • soldiers waving their and
turning beck the people, while no ciinatitble ap-
peared sin flits was improper, as the Mil-
itary could- not be employed with proprieryiralin,
aid of the Civil Power (like any Other subject)
where the -latter was found unable to preserve the,
peace alone. -

The ctIANCELTIOR of the Excnrounn said ilia
system now • acted upon with respect to COurt.,
dayts hart been established in the corintry since the
time of Queen Anne. The only ohject in view
was to preserve public deeorani, and no novelty
halt been introduced, It had always
~been emu-
.Mon:thus to employ the Military flirt it-days.
A Drawing-room was now so rare, that" the crowd
and attendance were as great as had formerly been
customary nu Birth-days ; this had rendered the
presence of the 'military necessary.
Lord For.aSTONa 'Snit! the ctitirse pursued on the
pro.,ent occasion was a novelty. The circumstance
of a Drawing-roonr being so seldom held itself
a grievance), was now the excuse for calling out
the Military. ' They ought, bowever, only to have
been called out in aid orthe Cliri,l Porver. Though,
how the di.upist• which such tights gave bitn; he
endeavoured on .Court-days to abstain from going,
where the Military was substituted for the Civil
Officer, he had yesterday seen the, Military sta—

could not be found, they had actually been oblig-
ed to walk homy.

Mr. PONSONBY remarked, it had been said the
141ilitarY were .not 'to •be employed beyond what
the convenience of the case tnight retinire. Our
Constitution had been framed to guard the subject
from oppression, however convenient this might
4e. If the Right honourable Gentleman oppotita
should be met by a highwayman, it :night be very
convenient to the latter to take the Right How
Gentionttn's purse from him, bur it would be
thought a poor defence at the Old Bailey if he
should plead that he had taken no wore than was

necessary for his convenience—that he wantetl

'Me CitANcm.t.oa of the F,XclitictVEß Saul the
o o.Gentielnao had nkyn his limo-
ing, when he supposed that he wished the
tArsi tis lie other than subordinate to-
,the Civil
rotrer.
Mr, rfaionoust,t admitted the practice Of calliog
out the Military on Court Days was not
but on the present occasion it had beets greatly
extended. Formerly it bad only been common
to use the Guards for the purpose of ,kettping the
peace on the Hirth.days of the King and Queen,
stud in the early.part of the reign he bad been.i.n.-
formed that peace officers alone were sisfficient.
Be could remember, some twelve years ago,
fewer soldiers had been employed than were now
thought necessary. The arrangements of yes-
terday appeared to him intended to form a sort of
military spectacle. The love of this might be
childish in one quarter, but it was any using but
trifling to the. Constitution.
Lord CAiTLERSAQu shewed the interference of
the Military to be necessary at the. Theatres, and
other places of public resort. The first notice
which had been taken of the incident whic!i had
•Oectorc,l to the coot se of the day was sufficient
to cause the proper ingtdry to ,be made into. the
merits cif the case, and the Hon. Centlemen op.
vsite were now endeavouring to build on that
t. iflitl circumstance, and to excite in the, country
an alarm for tile dangers to whioh the Constitu-
tion was exposed, which dangers existed but in
their own imaginations. There had been no alte-
ration of the system tong since established, on Ilse
present occasion, that ,could at all justify the ap-
prehensions which had been expressed,
Mr. \'. SMITH set forth the inconveniences
ariiing from the use of the Military. If soldiers
were stationed in Pall-mall, with orders to let no
carriage proceed but in a certain direction, slasuld
K coachman whom they might stop prove
.obsti-
nate, or the master insist upon going on, the sol-

aml if he should use farce to detail) the carriage,
the most serious consequences.might ensue.
