PARLI/IMENTefRr PROCEEDINGS.

meet was originally entirely composed of Foreigners,
although it had now become a British Regiment.—
With respect to the Foreign General who command.
ed a district, he was at a loss to conceive who the
Noble Lord alluded to.
Lord FOLKSTONE said, General Linsingen.
Lord PALMERSTON replied, that the Officer
mentioned by the Noble Lord had only the command
of a military depot, but had no authority to interfere
in any respect with the details of the district.
Lord FOLKSTONE stated, that lithe Noble Se-
cretary would take the trouble of reading the Act of
Parliament to which he alluded, he would find no
authority whatever for recruiting our army as had
been done, contrary to the spirit of the Act of Settle.
meat and Constitution of the Country.
Mr. LAMBE observed, that, as the subject had
frequently been canvassed at popular meetings, he
could not help giving an opinion upon it. Many ima-
gined that the introduction of foreign troops was un-
necessary and unconstitutional. If he thought so he
should be the first to vote against their being conti-
nued ; but when he looked to the present situation of
the world, and the extraordinary means by which our
enemy recruited his armies, he thought it our duty to
avail ourselves of every means that would keep us in
a condition to meet him.
Mr. CURWEN was surprised at the speech of the
Hon. Gentleman. His opinion was, that the laws
made inthe best of times ought to be strictly adhered
to, and not suffered to become a dead letter. It was'
a disregard of salutary laws which brought the coun-
try to the cri:ical state in which it is, and it was a
strict adherence to the laws and spirit of the Consti-
tution, that could alone extricate us. He wished no
encouragement to be given to prisoners of war enter-
ing our service, nor did he think it became Govern-
merit to do so, when he considered orir treatment of
our own soldiers anti sailors who had entered the
French service. •
Mr. MATTHEW MONTAGUE defended the
employment of Foreigners, who, from their number,
never couldgive the least cause of alarm to the friends
of the Constittition.
Mr. FREEMANTLE said, that oar regular army
had been increased only 1,900 men last year, wide
the additional expense, on their account, would
amount to nearly £600,000.
Lord PALMERSTON said, that. there was an
increase of 10,361 men in our land forces last year,
which, with certain charges which had been trans-
) ferred from the Adjutant-General to the Qu irter.

HOUSE OF LORDS, FEBRUARY 24.
In the Scots Appeal, Ranken v. Campbell, Sir SAIIWEE Re.
*smut' and Mr. HORNER were heard for the Appellant in this
case, Mewrs. ADAM and RePConoente for the Respondent, and
Sir S. ROMULT for the Appellant in reply.
'The LORD CHANCELLOR immediately proposed the affir-
mation of the judgment of the Scots Court, which was ordered
accordingly.
The East India Loan, and the Coal Duties Regulation Bills,
were reid a third time and passed.
The Insolve: t DebtOrs' Amendment, and the House of Com-
mons Officers' Bill, passed through Committees.of the whole
house, and were subsequently reported.
Lord HOLI AND presented a Petition from the Debtors con-
-Bned in Castle Rushiu, in the Isle of Man, which, he observed,
;resented such cases of grievance and di-tress as must forcibly
appeal to the attention of the House. He therefore proposed
that the documents should be read by the Clerk.
The Petition was accordingly read at the Table, anti referred
to various grievances and privations which the said prisoners
elescribe4 themselves as suffering from the corresponding severity
and hardslup of the operation of the Mani Laws, and ft out cir-
cumstances peculiy to Debtors in that part of the Empire; and
praying ouch relief as their Lordshies should think meet.
The Petition was ordered to Ise on the Table, as was also ano-
ther Petitiwi presented i'y his Lordship from Debtors confiasd
in the county Jail of Carlisle.
The Earl ut LIVERPOOL gave notice of his intention to
propose the second reading of the 'Nottingham Frame-breaking
Prevention hill to-morrow, and movel that the Lords be sum-
moned.

Lord HOLLAND expressed his disapprobation of the intend-
ed proceeding; the notice was by far too short; the subject to
vrhith the lied referred should undergs same previous investiga-
tion, wcr,t it only to asc,rtain the rffcct of the proceedings al-
ready adopted wi:h respect to the d:sturbances ; b.:sides, the
principle of the measure now prdiposed, was one he could net,
conflate:l'oy with his duty to the country, support.
Mr. Jou tisote, from the Irish Secretary of State's Offer, a
Jui.i.tr Clerk of the Privy Council, and a Mr. lonusom, trom
the London Duck Cor.ti•::ny, presented sundry documents from
their respective del.tuttnent•, puisuant to fomur orders of their
Lordships, pariiculaslit w.ta reference to certain Urders iA

Lords, were th'e discussion of that 'measure pesiponed from to-

amour he id
founded, it was no: to be attended to. He voted not
from party m.,;',ves ; it was well known that in
great questions he voted against the Minister. Tja
question he thought by no means of a serious nature.
Too much of the time of the House had been already
taken up with it ; it was a matter for regulation,

Mr. M' DONALD spoke with warmth in support
of the Amendment. They were not sent there, he
said, to abet the obsequiousness of an accommoda

enticed every tiring to the good of their country.,

to :cad a lesson to the advisers of Princes, not more

The high set vices of him who was the object of this
motion; he admitted as fully as anyman, but thought
other means should be resorted to, and the establish.
meat of the Prince must have afforded ample mean. •
There were other circumstances which called for ths '
attention of the House, connected with the grant is

it was made—during the prorogation of Parliament:
why not wait for the meeting of Parliament: The

of those objections, that he thought the 'Minim

that it was dragging the Prince Regent through the

the Prince to advise him to reward a man who, has
ing access to his Reyal Highness for years, susuenr
known to abuse the cards of Iris place? So tartrate

present was a rank and simple instance of those Sine.
cures described by thnt Report, as there was none less
capable of defence, he saw no reason why the Mini-
ster should confine himself any longer frost conferring
places of a similar description, not more pointedly
condemned than the present. It never entered into
the contemplation of the Committee which drew up
the Resolutions, to maintalt‘that it was necessary to
retain Sinecure Offices of a nature such as this. Fits
case was made out, and it was a strong one. It
never had been admitted by the Committee, that offi-
ces to which large salaries and no services were an-
nexed, should be retained, with the exception in the
Royil Household, and about his Majesty's person.—
This office was different. The objection to the grant
was stronger from the possibilityof reward, in a man-
ner perfectly unobjectionable. Entering upon a new
reign, the Soveteign would have it in his power,
from the increased splendour of his establishment, to
reward the services of the gallant in an ample and.
dignified manner. He disclaimed any share of pri-
vate feeling operating on his (Mr. limikes) conduct,
as if he acted from attachment to Resolutions in which
be had so great a share ; he felt not the least hurt on
that account; but if, contrary to his expectations, the
House should vote against the Amendment which he
was about to propose, nothing could pi event its be-
ing followed by this interim. Cation, narnelv, that the
House had abandoned all the measures taken to en-
force economy, and that all the discussions es to our
revenue were at an end, and that full liberty
given for every sort of irregularity and profusion.—
He concluded with moving an Amendment to the
Resolution, the effect of which was, to leave cut the
amount of the salary of the Paymaster to the Fund
for the Support of Officers' Widows.
Mr. CHARLES ADAMS thought the Honig,
not at liberty, in this m inner, to depart from their
Resolutions; the Resolutions were the recorded
opinion of the House, and had been acted upon: that
to pick and select some to be observed; and others to
be violated, would be unwarrantable; it would be
better to reject them altogether.
Mr. MATTHEW MONTAGUE, allowing every
degree of credit to the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Bankes)
and admitting the purity of his motives, still he was
of opinion that others who thought quite differently
withirim on the subj.ict before the House were equally
entitled to cre,in tor the purity of their motives.—
From the extrem: anxiay with which that Honour-
able Gentleman examined fiteancial subjects, and
from his strong and laudable desire to promote
economy, he thought his mind had received a bias
which made him examine the present subject 'with
too much jeal• usy. He would not be understP%l as
speaking against economy ; he knew its imratance ;
but there were lines of demarcation to be drawn.—
The g ,od of the country equally required, that the
Prince should be in possession of his just prerogatives
as the People of their rights, and one of these, and of
!thehighest consequence, was, thattheability of reward-
ing public services should remain with the Crown.—
: The Resoluvons confined the sphere of reward too
much ; and the species of merit was too much confi-
ned. Parsimony is not economy, properly under-
!
stood ; and no money so badly-employed, as that
hich is prevented from being employed beneficially.
(41 laugh.) He thought the Hon. Gentleman deser-
ving credit for his schemes of economy, but thought,
on general principles, that the present grant was per-
lectly regular. The reward was well earned, and
the object fair and legitimate, such as was proper t 3
reward such a servant. He admitted that it was a
sinecure, since we were talking of sinecures, but it
was the plain meaning of the Resolutions, that the
sinecuses were not to he given up till some other me-
thod of rewarding merit was provided. For suit
language as he was now holding men were s.anctimes
abused, but he despisedpopular clamtsut, andtle,ught
himself as true a patriot as those who make the lou-
dest professions of it in popular meetings ; it was not
unusual to /lave recourse to such abuse, but he de-
, spiced it. It was right that men who. wasted their
spirits in the service of their country should obtain
their reward—(4 kagia.) He considered the subject
a grave one, and wished it to be treated seriously.—
Maay kinds of service besides military were deserv-
ing of reward ; should such services go unrewarded ?
But it is said there are pensions, but when that fund
was exhausted, it was not our duty to withhold re-
wards.of another nature. The argument of the Ho.
nourable Gentleman Was in opposition to the pur-
view of iris own Resolutions ; for those Resolutions
implied other means to be provided. Until such
were provided, it was evidently right that those sine-
cures should remain. That Resolution, even if taken
in the sense which some would give to it, was not a
law, and a Minister was nut to look upon it in that
light. The Resolutions have not even gone through
the necessary steps before the House, and were nor,
therefore, to be insisted on.
Mr. LOCKHART, agreeing with the last speaker
in the general line of his arguments, maintained that

vote should be free from any party feeling, and given
only from a sense of duty.
Mr. HERBERT, (of Kerry,) spoke on the same
side.

Mr. BATHURST thought it was taking a oar-
row view of the subject to confine it to the v,.cc 7pon
the present question. The question before the 1-1 .use
w.,s, Whether or not the sum contained in the Re-
solution was to be voted ? not whether the place was
to be abolished ; and in giving his vote for the ques-
tion before the House, and in voting for the affirma-
tive, he did not consider himself as precluded from
considering the prophecy at another time of retain-
ing this office. That was a distinct subject ; but he
thought the attention of Parliament had been too
much drawn to this, a subject, speaking compara-
tively, of little or no importance.
Mr. MORRICE argued, that as there was no
Resolution passed. for the unqualified' abolition of
Sinecures, that their establishment must continue till
some other mode of `rewarding merit is dad.—
