Obis order, than that which it bore among the public

doe who then beard him, until they were en-
ti,boned by the Secretary at War, in this night's
moils ? .It was not surprising then, that this order,
omedy identifying foreigners with our own army,
:,91.1 hoe excited -considerable astonishment.- Nay,
sagambering the constitution in its best times, consi-
arable feeling of jealousy would have been excusa-
bb.sementbering the reign of that hero to whom

naphoesioa of the Secretary at War. As to the MO-
nue-before the House, although known not to 'be in
the habit of paying personal compliments to the
Mover, be would say, without hesitation, that the
Noble Lord had rendered an important service by
Fodacing the explanation of this very enigmatical
order, whith according to the original and general
conception of its meaning, was so particularly cal-
culated to create complaints, if not throughout the
iltrititii Amy, at least mons 311 constitutional men.
Bae ylt, after the explanation of the Secretary at
Wee, he must, instead of supporting the Noble Lord's
100 do, pay him a compliment, and vote against it.
Lord FOLKESTONE, after animadverting upon
threedeavour so generally obvious of late among
out rang officers to imitate every thing in German
Ws, and, in deference to that fashion, to cast off
everything English—which imitation he thought one
dtte worst effects of the extended employment and
tbsprliealer menage of German troops, proceed-
ed elleheseive. upet the several Speakers who opposed
his view of the subject. The compliment of Gene-
ral Stewart to the Germans the Noble Lord conside-
red rather extravagant; but the General having de.
akel the words imputed to him, the Noble Lord ad-
ietted to the speech of the Secretary at War, who
bad taken occasion this night to reply to statements
and arguments which fie (Ldrd Folkestone) brought
before debut Parliament. But the reply of the No-
blelecretary he felt to be quite iiseffective—Arst, as
to the gateman that Baron Linsitigedcommanded
tie Fasten District; he maintained, that it was cor-
niedy true that this Baron, as Commander of the
Dania, ordered the garrison of Ipswich, among
which garrison' was some English Militia, in
•order
lehitieir it, and that he had done several other- acts
quality of 'Commander 'of the District. But
Lmsingeq was not the onlylbreign cater in
ti a situation, for there were in fact four at five
other • foret sirs invested with such commands.—
Da was die. Act of ' Settlement outraged ; but it
beiltecome a habit with certain persons to treat Acts
sitPatliament with evasion and indifference. Ac-
hilles to the Act originally constituting the Ger-
litilnion, the ground alleged for appointing Ger-
rie Officers was, that from their acquaintance with
*German lansuage.and manners, they were best
1111, to discipline and command such corps • but
slut ground of utility or expediency can be alleged
tor winting iuc'h Officers to command in the Bri-
tiskArmy ? 'Here the Act of Settlement was viola.
