Lord CASTLE.REAGH now niovee the Order
of the Day for the fecond reading of the Bill fir ena•
Wing certain portions a the Militia to volunteer into
the Line.

Sir ROBERT WILLIAMS exprellcd his hightft

,obation of the changes in the military fyftem
by his Majefty's late Minifters, the efficacy of
had been tried and proved ; and be could not,
, give his affent to the Bill now upon the
Lich had no other objed, in his opinion, but
In the fyftem adopted in the !aft year. He
called urn the independent country Gen-
that Houfe, who in the laft year had given
!s for the fyftem now in operation, upon
:ft convidion of its propriety, and now fop-
the experience of its fignaloperation, not to
the prefent Bill, fo diametrically oppofite to
ich they had already fupported in the face of
Lowry, and by which no lets than 22,000 men
ived to the public fervice within the laft year,
Adhering to which its effeas would daily and
improve, and, without doubt, produce to the
airy an efficient and difpofable force ; and he was
Lonifhed that thole Gentlemen oppofite to him
:ye the hardihood to bring forward this Bill,
a tingle argument to thew its neceffity, or
reafon affigned or to be underftood, but merely
1y the fyftem of his Majelly's late Minifters,
TAlt up the molt conftitutional branch of the
force. Wi h refpet to the Velunteers, he
highell opinion of their zeal and courage,
:ould not fee the neceffity of the late appoint-
InfpeEting Field Officers, nor that they were
ate. They had no authority to call out a
Corps to drill, without the permiffi )n of the
Anding Officer. Their bufinefs was confined
mere infpettion of arms, and to make the re-
Gc.vernment. He could not fee why this
not be done by the Commanding Officers of
inflead of burthening the country with
annually for ufelefs officers, merely to create
Lge. He highly approved of the retrench-
made laft year in the Volunteer Syftem, by
laying of 300,0001. per annum was made to
olio ; but totally difapproving of this Bill, he
, move that it be read the fecond time this day
months.
mel STANLEY alto oppofed the Bill on the
grounds. He underftood it was the intention
Noble Lord to infert a claufe in the Bill, for
aging Subaltern Officers of Militia alto to
1r into the Line, and to allow them rank in
ion to the number of their men, whom they
.iduce to volunteer with them. Were Gentle-
mare that fuch a meafure would go to annihi-
' Militia force, by depriving it of its bell men,
Jft efficient Officers; and thereby difguft the
;lemon who commanded Militia regiments, and
'fined them with fo much care for the defence
country ? He fitould oppofe the Bill in every
although, if it paired into a law, hi fhould feel
luty to at by it. The Noble Lord had talked
laufe in this Bill, to prevent Commanding
L from tampering with the men : he faw no
.ufe ; and hoped there would be no objedion
troduce one. But, on the whole, he would much
the Noble Lord mould abolith the Militia al-
.er, than eflablifh s fyftem of this kind.
VILLOUGH BY fupported the Bill, and allnd-
the Military fyftem of his Majefty's late Mini-
imented that the difpofable force of thecountry,
of being dire led to the aid of our brave allies
Continent, was frittered away in paltry ceps-
to Egypt, and elfewhere, as difaftrous as they
felefs and impolitic. He was convinced, not-
trading the depreffion calf on the feelings of the
steers by the language of a Right Hon. Gentle-
-polite to him (Mr. Windham), that on the
of danger, and with encouragement like that
ad originally experienced, their ranks would
,antly as full and their ardour as zealous as ever.
tas ready to admit, however, the neceffity of
ig within much narrower bounds the Infpeding
I fyftem, as it was at prefent in many inftances
.ure. But in the prefent awful critic, he depre-
:he language of recrimination and heat, fo
of late the pradice between parties in that Houle,
earneftly recommended unanimity, and the corn
bination of all the talents and energies of the country
common defence.
1 EUSTON oppofed the Bill, but in a voice fo
that the only point on which we could under-
\im from the gallery was, that the prefent Bill
be lets objedionable, if the men entitling from
Ida into the line were only to be retained for
terms, as by the Bill of the laft year.

LOCKHART warmly fupported the Bill,and
for refuting the means propofed by the Noble
tor fo promptly and efficat.muily recruiting the
of the line. It was, he Lad, but a rneaftne of

~.yorary expedience ; but one more prompt and
efficacious than any other which could be deviled.
-••Id give to the army of the country men of
imp, mod valuable to the fervice ; foldiersfui
who had been tried, proved, and were fatisfied
ieir fituation in the army, and who only regret.
•t they had been hitherto confined to a fervice
ted for glory. From fuch men the country
expel true valour and gallant atchievements.
Paid that this meafure favoured of compulfmn.
. militia laws were compulfive, as were alfo
,aws of taxation, but they were indifpenfable for
public fecurity, and the good fenfe of the country
s in time reconciled to them. But even if a law
more generally compulfive was requilite for the
fafety, at this crifis, he would be happy in
for it ; for it was only by adopting the vigo-
rdem of the enemy to whom we were oppofed,
,e could be a match for him. It was Rated in
Bulletin, that the French foldiers laughed at
iffacks, for oppofing them with arrows ; would
not equally laugh at this country for oppofing
',y meafnres lefi vigorous than their own ?
people of England mull, if it fhould be neceffary,
rich he hoped it would not, be forced to defend
'lves and their country, and he thought it
im-
they could feel difguti at a meafure neceffary
fafety of their country. This was the moment
exert all our energies, for the prefervation of every
• dear to us agaund the vengeance and rapacity
enemy, who, if he lbould conquer us, would
is nothing. He told his army at Ulm, that he
wreak on this country soo years of vengeance.
not raid this without meaning, but he fpeke
.cally, for it was jug sou years that this country
been the rival of France. He bad fpoken this
'silt and the avarice of his foldiers. He bad
•ken his word in any thing cruel with the nal-
, Ole Continent, and 'was it to be fuppored be
break it with this country if the performance ,

ever came within his power ? It was only by the vi-
gorous exertion of our heft energies, that our fafety
was to be fecured ; and it was better to bear a par-
tial and temporary evil, than utter and irretrievable
ruin.
Mr. CALCRAFT was glad he had given way to
the Hon. Members who had fpoken before him on the
other fide of the Houk ; and, though he did not think
with them on the fubje.9 of this Bill, he felt equally
anxious for the prefent critical flirtation of the country.
If the Milliners fairly made out their cafe of great
emergency, he could not oppofe thong meafures ;
but if they could thew no fuch cafe. he thought it his
duty to foam the fubjeas of this realm the hardfhips
that thofe compulfory .nieafures would bring upon
them. He was as fenfible as any man, of the zeal
and fpirit of the Volunteers, and of the fervices which
they might be able to render the country ; but when
he was always ready to acknowledge this as warmly
as any other Gentleman, he could not patiently fit
and hear the Gentlemen on the other fide daily affert,
that the fpeeches and meafures of his Right Hon.
Friend (Mr. Windham) had produced the effect of
confiderably diminithing their numbers. He thought
it hardly candid or manly for Gentlemen to tepeat
thofe affertions conflantly, when they were directly
anfwered by the papers which were on the table. In
January 1805, the number of volunteers was Come
what above 400,000 ; in the month of January tBO6
(before his Right Hon Friend had come into power)
they had diminithed to 318,000 ; and, by the latch
returns that could be made out, the number of their
prefent force is 289,000. So that it appeared that
this force, which had decreafed near icia,ooo menin
the year before his Friend came into power, had not
decreafed above 30,000 in the lan year. It wai not
any thing that was Paid or done, by his Right Hon.
Friend, which occalioned the decreafe ; but every
body knew, from the fira inftitution of the Volunteer
eflabliihment, that it was a thing which never could
have been expected to remain at precifely the fame
pitch. As to the Infpeiting Field Officers, the ob
iltion he had to them was, that it was a great and
unneceffary expence, as there was, in every diftrid, a
complete Staff already ellabliffied, who bad but very
little to do, and who had plenty of time to make thole
infpettions, and inform the Government of the nate
of the Volunteer Corps. Although his Majefty's Mi.
sifters might fay, that this expence was a trifle, and
the other was a trifle, yet all thofe trifles had toge-
ther amounted to an expence that was a very &Tinos
confideration. There was fomething alfo very fufpi.
cious in thefe appointments of Infpeaing Field Of-
ficers. Inftead of taking them out of the half pay
lift, he would venture to fay, that out of about 7o
appointed, there were not above t 6 who belonged
to the army at all. If it were neceffary to ballot for
the purpofe of affording a fupply to the army, it
would be better at once to ballot for men to ferve in
a more extenfive range than what the prefent mea
lure propofed. He confidered that our exiling force
was far greater in proportion than what any other
nation paella. We had tBz,ooo Regulars, 77,000
Militia, 120,000 men (crying in the Navy, ao,oao
in the Artillery, which made a total of aoo 000 men
in the regular pay of the country. To thefe were to
be added 300,000 Volunteers in this country, which
together with Irilh Volunteers, Sea Fencibles, &c.
would make a total of nao.ooo men, applicable to the
defence of the empire. With fuch a force he could
fee no ground for alarm. The Noble Lord had pre-
tended that it was becaufe his predeceffors had dif
perfed the Regular Force of the country, that there.
fore it became neceffary to make an extraordinary
levy of troops. He fhould however have recollated
that if the general reports were true, the prefent Mi.
niners were now fending a much larger force out of
the country than ever their predeceffors fent. There
was now a great difplay of embarkation, of fleets,
and armies, but all that the expedition appeared to
want was an object, and an officer to command it—
(a laugh). The Noble Lordhad tiled fugared words to
the Militianntilnow, when he was prepared to under.
mine and lap the Militia eftablifhment—for nothing
could be more degrading to that eftablifhment, than
to thew the officers, that whatever pains they might
take in difciplining their regiments, (till they would
never be allowed the honour of trying their ftrength
againft the enemy, but their men, mutt be handed
over to the officers of the line. e confidered that
the Noble Lord (Lord Caftlereagh) looked with a
jealous and malignant eye upon all that was done by
hi; predeceffors ; and that his great objett was to
deprive his Right Honourable Friend (Mr. Wind.
ham) of the merit that was juftly due to him for
the plan which he had brought forward laft year.
He concluded by expatiating for fume time on the
merits of Mr. Windham's plan, which he teemed
to confider adequate to the prefent circumtlances of
the country.
Mr. CRIPPS did not confider that Mr. Wind-
ham's plan had anfwered thole purpofes which he
originally eapetted from it. As to the Volunteers,
he could onlf fay, that in a corps of 400, which he
comnsigittt ,lie never perceived any diminution.—
He certainly never law any great neceffity for the
Infpeaing Field Officers, and he thought the Gene-
rals of the different diaries might eafily perform
, that duty. Upon the whole, he approved of the
prefent Bill.
Colonel WOOD did not conceive that it was taking
a proper view of the fubjetl, to talk of the prefent
war, as if it muff be merely defenfive. We ought
not to [land with our arms folded, merely waiting for
the attacks of the enemy—we might perhaps difcover
points where we could annoy him. He could not
allow, that the papers on the table proved, that Mr.
Windham's plan had been mare efficacious than the
former plans. If it had railed a few hundred men
more in the firft fix months of this year, than were
railed in the firft fix months of the laft year, it muff
alfo be recolletted, that there were a number of boys
among them, and that all competition had entirely
ceafed, as the ballot had been fufpended even fo far
with refpea to the Militia, that their numbers were
not kept up. He thought the prefent was no time
for Militia Officers to feel much emulation about the
comparative appearance of their regiments; the great
and univetfal emulation fhould be, who could do
mot toferve the country ? (Loud criez of bear, bear.)
He was himfelf a Militia Colonel, and he thought
nothing would relied more honour on Militia Officers
than to Phew that they had iafufed into their men that '
true military fpirit which would make them ready to
volunteer for that fervice which would be confidered
the moll ufeful to the country. He hoped that their

officers would let them no example of fubtetfnge or
evafion in their condo& with the Government. if
they did, the men would probably mew themfelves
apt fchohirs, and perhaps, when the day of trial
fbould come, they would reproach them with having
prevented them from volunteering in that fervice
where their exertions would have been milt effec-
tual in the defence of their count. y, and of their wives
and child, en.
Mr. BASTARD raid, that this was certainly not
a time to have comas among the Militia regiments
about their refpeOive appearance—the queftion now
was, whether upon Britifh ground the Militia Regi-
ments were not as well fitted as any other to fight in
the defence of their country? He oeaed to the
prefent meafure, becaufe it gave preference to the
Regiments of the Line, to which he did not think
that they were entitled. In the Militia Regiments
the fuperior officers had the Rrongen attachment to
the foil in which they had a confiderable interea ; in
addition to this feeling, there was a perfonal at-
tachment which conneaed the officers and men in the
Militia regiments, of a nature different to what ex-
Med in the regular army. Thofe confederations
united would,as he was convinced, give to the Militia
regiments all the fpirit and enthufiafm that could
be wifhed ; and thus would want nothing, if they
were but commanded by General Officers, who
knew how to lead them on. He had heard tome
obfervarions made with refpea to the confißency
of the Houfe, in voting againff meafures, which,
but a !burr time before, they had fop; tined. All
that he could fay about Parliamentary confiflency
was, that for fifteen years pall, it appeared to him
to be the pi aftice of the Houfe, during that time,
to admit or to rejea meafures, precifely as they
came from Gentlemen in power, or Gentlemen out
of power.—(Heor, hear !) He hoped the Houfe
would net be permi-ted to feparate, this year, until
many other meafures, befides thofe military" plans,
(horrid be fubmitted to their confideration. If the re-
ports that were in the different papers were founded,
it would be a molt ferious confideration how the
commerce of the country could be fupported, or how
its finances could be kept up, fo as to meet the necef-
fary expences, without impofing new and oppreflive
taxes upon a nation already too much burdened.—
The excufe for drafting the Militia into the Line
was, that they would be under more experienced
officers ; and yet, as their officers were alto allowed
to volunteer with them, it would be hard to point
out how the very fame officers could be better or
more experienced when they obtained commiffions
in the line than they were before ? He could not
conceive but that it would be poflible to find out
other modes of inct eating the regular army, with-
out deflroying the Militia. He conceived that it was
very degrading to the fpitit of the Militia Officers
to be told that, notwithfianding the pains they bad
taken to learn their profeffion, they could be of no
ufe to their country by leading against the enemy
the regiment that they had trained, but that all thefe
men muff be taken from them, to be given to the
Regulars. This was not the way that Bonaparte
took. He endeavoured by all means to raife the 10-
rit of every part of his force. In osie of his tali
Bulletins, he told a Rory about a drummer with his
drum flick defeating a Coffack with his (pear. He
certainly would not think of difcouraging men as
brave as our Militia.
Mr. FULLER differed from the Hon. Gentle-
man who had lair fpoken ; he confidered that the
praftice which prevailed of late years, of making the
Militia nearly the fame as regular regiments, hurt
confiderably the recruiting for the regular army, by
caufing a competition. When the Militia was on
the original plan, tailed for only three years, and
ferving principally in their own counties, then the
balloted men often ferved, and acquired military I a
bits, which induced them afterwards to enter into
the regular army ; but when that old prattice was
changed, and they were marched out of their coun-
ties, and kept on the footing of regu!ar regiments,
then the men who were balloted no longer fetved,but
obtained fuhflitutes. at large bounties, which injured
materially the Regular Army, by the competition
which it gave rife to.
Lord BINNING, in confidering the defenfive
force of the empire, thought that the Regular Army
ought to be placed at the head of that defenfive
force. He fupported the prefent plan, as adding con-
fiderably to that force, and as giving the Govern-
ment the power of fending, if neceffary, a confider-
able force to Ireland.
Mr. WHITBREAD Paid, that he felt very deli-
, rous of expreffing his fentiments upon the prefent m-
eal-lon. As this was the nage of the Bill in which it
was the cuflom to difcufs the principle of it, he fbould
now declare that he had great and fundamental
objellions to the principle of the Bill. In order that
he &void concur in the Bill, there were two things
which it would be previouily neceffary to eflablifh—
IR, that there does exit tom: emergency which calls
for new meafures ; and fecondly, that this meafure is
belt calculated to meet that emergency. It appeared
to him extraordinary, that after a war of fourteen
years, the Houfe fbould be again and again called
upon to confider what ought to be the defenfive
fyflem of the country. He thought that it was ra.
ther degrading to Parliament and derogatory to the
great talents of the many fucceffive Minniers that had
been feen in that Houle from 1793 to 1807, that they
had never yet flruck out a plan for the permanent
defence of the country by land. He agreed mol
perfealy with his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Wind.
ham), that molt of thole Minillers had never turned
their attention ferioufly to maturing a fyftem for the
permanent fupply of the army, and defence of the
country,--but that year after year they contented
themfelves with bringing forward freth expeditors,
to meet what they called emergencies. This was the
eourfe that had been purfued by a man, certainly of
great talents (Mr. Pitt). The fcheme that was
brought for ward by him in .one year, was Cure to be
abandoned in a year or two afterwards. The fecond.
time that he came into power, he brought forward
the Additional Force Ad, as a new meafure, upon
the fuccefs of which he made himfelf refpanfible in a
peculiar degree, as it a as upon his profelEons pf the
good that was to refult from it, that he came again
into power. When he then brought forward a plan
different from all his former ones, it was a contains
that his former expedients hid not rucetedid in eaa-
blifhing a permanent fyftem of defence. He. there-
fore propofed the Additional Force Atit as it perma-
nent fyftem ; but, on 'trial, it was. fogad tnially. in.

competent to produce the effect that was etpefird
from it. What Mr. Pitt then called an emergency
was, however, very different from the prefent fitua•
tion of affairs. The Emperor of France was then at
Boulogne, with his army, and we were told that we

He was fore that " big words did not win bat.
"and therefore lie did not think highly of that
&Ain which was often called energetic language_
he thought the time was come when we flsauld be
prepared for energetic deeds—(Hear, bear 1) —The

army to have been fo bad, they fhauld not have
let fo much time elapfe without bringing forward
their remedy. They fhould not have diffolved tht
Parliament without find preparing what appeared ft
them neceffary for the permanent fecurity of thi
State. If the force we had was well adminiftered, ho
conceived that it was adequate to the defence of thi
country. If it were not well adminiftered, he did no,
look for fafety merely in increafing the number of on
troops, for numbers would be often found a clog in
Read of a fervice, if they were not adminiftered a
they ought to be. By the papers upon the table, i
. appears, that there were t68,0c0 men, regulars ani
militia, independent of the Volunteers, which wcrenco
applicable to the defence of the country. If with fuc
a force, in conjunction with our navy, we could nc
put the country in a (late of fafety, he did not knot
what amount of force c:nsld be confidered fufficien,
The Noble Lord fpnke of the neceffity of putting
large force into the hands of Government, for the pu
poles of attack. He could not but feel fornewhi
apprehenfive of the conNuences of any attack whin
his Majefty's prefent Minillers thould dire& As fi
the colonial war, he feared that it had been curie
too far both in the prefent war and in the forme
one. If we were to chufe our paints of attack, v
ought to fele& thole from which our troops cool
be elfily withdrawn, if it were neceffary to conce
trate them. As to the great advantage of having
large force to fend to Ireland, if neceffary, he coul
not feel the Rrength of that argument at a time th
Minifters thought it fate to withdraw a confiderabl
number of troops from Ireland for tome other Expe
dition. If they conceived Ireland to be really i
' great danger, they would not tamper with it as the
'did at preterit. He could not agree that there wi
any prefent emergency, and, notwithflanding tl
celerity of Bonaparte's movements, it would tai
him a certain time (fuppofe nine or twelve month
to draw his army down to the oppofite coaft in
menacing attitude. As to the expedient that w
pradifed of drafting Militiamen into the Line for t
Expedition to Holland, he had himfeif been witni
in Kent of the Rate of drunkennefs, profligacy, a:
diforder that was allowed, to induce them to vole
leer ; and he had heard it liated by feveral Office:
that this &oft indulgence was fo deftrudive to mi
tary difcipline, that n would take nine months to pi
them in a flare fit to embark again for any other e 1
pedition. As to theft compulfory meafures, as the
have been called, they were, in point of fad, nothin
but a tax laid upon individuals molt unequally. Th
balloted per fun feldom or ever (erred, and the tuba
effect of the compulfion was to lay a certain to
upon the individual upon whom the ballot fell. if
was necelfary to have recourfe to confcription,
thould be propofed at once in a dire& and manly wa
but to compare this unequal mode of tazingiodividu:
to the French confcription, appeared to him high
abfutd. As to the Army of Referve, he did not this
more highly of it now than he did when it was fii
propofed. Although he oppofed it when it was pr
poled, yet after it was carried into a law, he did wh
was in his power to carry it into execution. h
however, had in many intlaaces witnetl'ed the incs
culable hardlhips which thole individuals had C
rained on whom the ballot fell. This army of refers
however, was but a temporary expedient. It expire
by the effects of its own energy, when no more m
could be railed by it. Some Gentlemen had raid, tli
it was a conipleat meafirre inits commencement; th
it was nrojor from its infancy : if In, it grew min
with time, and loon reached its minimum. The di
of the meafure then was, that it railed a confiderab
body of men for an immediate urgency, but aft
they had been railed, the recruiting fervice was a
folutely at a (land for a confiderable time, as tl
country was quite exhaufled. After all thole ter
prat", expedients, his Right Hon. Friend (M
Windham) had brought forward a plan which w
founded or, the priinciplesof human nature, and 'WI
could not but produce a correfponding eke. 7
plan had been but a Thor t time in operation, and y
already it had been proved to be fuperior to all tl
other modes of recruiting formerly pradifed. It h:
been fuppofed by the enemies of this plan, that c
foldier would always leave his fervice at the end
the feven years. This, however, would not only
contrary to his obvious intereft, but it would. be co
trary to the univerfal experience of the dirpohtion
men after they have acquired military habits. Tlio
who wifhed to deny the efficacy of his Right Ho
I Friend's plan, were apt to fay," gee how many bo
you have among your recruits." He could call
retort that, by Paying, " See how many old and ui

from the number of boys that had entered, that II
