he could never sufficiently commend. He hoped MI.
nisters would take an early opportunity to satisfy the
men that their service would not be continued longer
than WAS absolutely necessary. He was one.of the
oldest Militia Colonels in that House, and he could
as'urc Gentlemen, that the retaining the regiments
alluded to by the Noble Lord, had excited a strong
sensation.
Mr. B. BATHURST considered the question of
the Noble Lord in two lights, as a question of law
and a question of policy as to the measure that had
been adopted. On the first point he had only to ob-
serve, that though we were at peace with one Power
we were unfortunately at war with another, and there-
fore the measure was not contrary to law. With re-
spect to the hardship on particular counties or dis-
tricts, sat; posing Government found it necessary to
call upon some, though not upon all, would it be eny
relief to them to have the same burden made p,eneral?
It was found necessary to keep up some of the militia
regiments to supply the place of the regular troops
employed on foreign service. He could assure the
distinguished Militia Officer who had stated the else
of the Oxford regiment, that he telt the hardship of
I its being, when returning to the county to be disem-
bodied, ordered to march to a distant destinatioe.
Nothing could be more creditable to its character and
discipline than the alacrity with which it proceeded
on this unexpected service.. He bad no difficulty in
saying, that the first opportunity would be taken,even
though the war should be confirmed, to restore those
meritorious individuals to their families and homes.

Mr. CHARLES GRANT moved that there be
laid before the House, an account of the net produce
of the Revenue, in the quarters and years respec-
tively, ending the sth of October, 181.1, and the sth

accost:4n Of ARISTA RS-.-FOREION EXPENDITURE.
Mr. TIERNEY asked when the Accounts of the
Arrears, alluded to in the Speech, would be laid on
the Table?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
stated. that he feared it would not be practicable to
present a complete account till the Army Extraordi-
naries should be submitted to the consideration of the
House. on account of the manner in which the Bills
were drawn for different services, and because the
whole could not be expectedly be received before then.
Mr. TIERNEY desired to know whether there
would be no opportunity of ascertaining, by a general
winding up, the whole exceeding of the War Expen-
diture up to the Peace of Paris?
The CHANCELLOR-of the EXCHEQUER
replied he feared not, as the accounts were so blended
that they could not accurately be stated till the Esti-
mates of the Army Extraordinaries should be sags
mit.ed to the House.—Adjourned.
