likVi MILITARY PLAN.
Mr. YORKE role, purfuant to notice, to move for
a return of the military opinions laid before Govern.
//went at their requifit ion, upon the fubjed of enlifling
i Inca for a limited term. The papers containing thee
opinions he knew to be in the offices, and he felt that
it was highly material they Ibould be communicated
e to the Houfe, in order to guide its judgment upon a
: projea of fo much importance as that which would in
fad involve a complete revolution in our military
fyfiem. In deciding as to thertAture of loch a pro-
jea, the Houk mutt be impreffed with this idea, that
they were not to decide as civilians, but accordii.g to
the authority of military men, To obtain filch au
thority, and the benefit of its experience, was the
objed of his motion. From the confideration nt this
authority, he had no doubt it would appear, that the
plan in contemplation was far from being advifable.
On the contrAt y, it was pregnant with danger, and
without any precedent elfewhere to futlain it. This,
he maintaiucd, notwiddlanding the affection of the
Right Hon. Mover of this plan. For he would call
upon that Right Hon. Gentleman, or any other
perfon, to minion a (late in Europe, or, indeed, any
II; military country upon earth, where the principle of
4,
i enliftiog for a limited term was adopted, without
r being backed by a confei ip, ion. In confiJeting the
pradicability of inch a principle, he recommended
Minifiers to look carefully at A paper !ii be found in
the (karter.inelier General's Office, end which re•
fare to the cafe of the Auftruan army. The Right
' flon. Gentlemen anticipated the objedions which.
were likely to be made to his propofitton ; the pi in-
cipal of which he underilond to be this, that thole
' military opinions' being privately communicated,
without any view to publicity, their produdion in
tbar Houfc would be perforially difAirerAble to the
individualb from whom they came. But &itch pro-1

dunion would not be injurious to the public fervice,
this objection nnold have no weight. For the fame
objection might With equal' propriety be Made to the
yroduCtion of many documents relative to tot refpon.
dente between Government and its ambatratiors and
other agents. If, however, an nhjenion of this natant
were to he ihfilled on, he would urge the Hnufw 16
call for the examination of lonic great military ati:'
. Moe ithe at the Bar, before a plan fo novel as that
tinder Confideration were allowed to pals into a lain.,
He deprecated the adoption of Inch an experiment,
until the fullell inquiry among competent perfons
flint,ld take place. Independently of the ;anima-
tion which his motion had iii view, there were others
whole opinions were applied for on the hone occa
lion, but who Come how or other did pot pi'efent any.
To thefe Officers he would particularly with to op.
peal—he meant Lord Cathcart, Lord lititchinfon,
and General Prefeott. The opirvon of the latter
upon a fubjett of this nature, he thought particularly
defirable.—The Right Hon. Gentleman's Motion
being :cad,
General WALPOLE raid, there was a float an-
ewer to the argument of the Right Hon. Gentleman,
that the principle of enLiting Coldiers, in general and
even colonial fervice, for limited and (hots perindc,
'was new to the Btitith fervice. On the contrary, fo
far from being new, it was neither tinurnal nor un•
frequent. It hid been done in the feven years' war,
it bad been done its the American war, when men '
were entitled for a term of only three years ; and. it
had been done towards the terminatinn of the lall
war, and never had nioduied to the fervice the
fmallefl inconvenience.
WINDHAM deprecated ant difetiffion,of the
general principle of entailment for a limited tiMe,
As that would more properly come before the Houfe
at another time. But with regard to the motion
immediately under confideration, he could afflue
Gentlemen on the other fide, that whatever inference
they might be difpofcd to make, Minilters could not
be induced to decline a compliance with this motion,
from any idea that the production of' the documents
referred to would be at all holine to their °Nett.—
He knew that thole Gentlemen were in the habit of
profeffing a reluftauce to pyridoce documents, the
publication of which might be injurious to the pub-
lic lei vice, although in a recent innance their praelice
was but ton much at war with their prachions (a cry
of Rear I hear!) as it was underifond to allude to
the documents refpetting the Continental toitlit?On.
If Minitlers were not reßrained by public nantivell.j
they could not hefitate to complO, With this motion.)
For the balance of opinion, in the documents
ed to, was in their favour. Fur of the fourteen per-
lons who communicated their opinions upon this
quenion, it appeared that there were feven who re•
commended the principle which the Right Honoura-
ble Gentleman on the other fide MI-approved of—
there were fix who obje&ed to it, and there was one
who was doubtful—who Was fo impartial as to incline
almoll equally to both tides. Such was the (late of
the poll. But as to the arguments to be found in
there documents, there was realty nothing now to be
found in them ; and upon the prelim of authority,
he would fubniat Whither that Honfe (hould fuffer
its judgment to be direfted bt Military officers, in
the timfideration of a point which did not by any
means In much involve the mere tonitary charafter
and military experience, ai a knowledge of human
nature. Upon loch a point of general interen, it
could not furely be argued that the Houfe fhould,
in the work of Legiflation, call in the aid of artizans.
The arguments deigned againft. the propeifed ar
rangement, which were drawn from tie circum.
fiance of the country being at war, appeared to him
rathet to make in its favour. So eery Cupetioy, in.
deed, in point of lone, was the tendency of thole ar-
guments to feveral, even that were ufed by lime of
the profeffed advocates of the new plan, that one
difpofed to fupport his prom:fa:ion might, in tome
inftances, adopt the language of Judge B. who laid,
that he fupported a certain decition, not for the rea-
ions urged by Judge C. who fpnke for it, but for
thofe of Judge E. who (poke againfl it. Recurring•
to the motion before the Honk the Right Hoe.'
Gentleman deprecated the idea de:poling the cese.
relpondence of General Officers with the Commander
in Chief, for which the adoption of this motion would
afford a Precedent, particularly where, assn thie
:here was nothing like a itiong neceffity for it. Hos
alto endeavoured to impeefs upon the Houle the he.s
propriety of laying the grounds tor a difeuffion which
was likely to involve a moll onpledfont comparifori of!
military authorities. For, after all, that was what the
adoption of this motion mutt lead tn. if General
Officers were, as propofed, to be examined at the Bar,
he would be glad to hear upon what principle the fen
lettion of filch Officers was to be continently made.
Mr. YORKE, in explanation, laid, that the only!
reafon why he alluded to the document refpefling the
Auflrian ferries wa,, becatile the ufages of Corionerot
cal fervicc had been pleaded by the Right Honoura-
ble Gentleman in fupport of his plan.
General TARLETON was ready to acknowledge.
that the principle of the right Hon. Gentleman's
plan, in theory, appeared falcinating ; but lie was of
opinion that it was totally impratticable as to any
uteful effect : more elpecially tot colonial fervice.—
The Right Hon. Gentleman had flatted, that the opi-
nions of eminent military men were at vat Lance upon
the quellion, and that fix thought one way, and feven
the other. It was extremely neceftiry, however, for
the Houle to know what were the nature and form of
the quellions prnpofed to there Officers? The Right
Hon. Gentlemanadmitted the gale itions were privately
put, and tlnit the anfwers alto were private and con-
fidential ; but it was extremely neceffary to lean
thefe opinions, and to compare them with the quel
tions in answer to which they were given. For, when
the Right Hon. Gentleman laid that Officers dd..
sweet', he wilted to know the mode of the quellions
put, as St.:mimeo foinetimes put quellions to military
men in a way to elicit an atitwer applicable to their
own purpofes. The Right Honourable Gentleman
laid the anfwets were coutidemial, and that the pro
mitigation of them to the Houle would excite jets-
lotifies. To this he would reply, then examine dank
officers at the bar ; and it it was imagined by any
man they were afraid or unwilling to have their opi.
Motu known, he mull know little of that emulation
which pervaded the Mean of every military corn.
mander, and which was the life and fool of the army.
But, with refpna to the qstealion. pat to thole ati
cers, he tßarewdly runic:led they slid not proceed from
the Horfe Guards, as from the authority orate Com-

minder in Chief, but from Anne of chore civil I.mihersiy
Gentlemen v ho had of late alibied the managerilent
of the artily. With rdpeet to the argument of deli:
cacy in communicating the opinions received, he
thought it fuperfeded by a paramount duty to the
Houk and the occafion. He was willing to admit
what had been raid by an Honourable Gentleman.
(General Walpole) cull in the debate; that recruits
were entitled towards the clok of the American war
for three years, et' dariag the war ; and he had nn ob•
jedion to take as many recruits as could now be rail-
ed upon the fame principles ; but from what he knew
of the fpirit of this country, he was convinced that
not one thoufand men extraordinary would be pro.
Mimi in tweire moriths, by entailment for limited I
periods.
Mr. Secretary FOX obferved, that the qiieflimi pot
to thole military officers, and which produced &o(,:
opininos, were not p•opotinded by hi, Majelly's pre-
fent Minters. as inlinuated by the Hon. Gentlemste, '
but during the Adminifiration of the late Mr. Pitt•
They were put by him, and the anfwers, as Aated by,
his Right Hon. Friend, wete found in the office.
Lord CASTLEREAGH had.re-id the papers to
which the motion referred, and deemed them of great
I importance ; and that mutt be felt when tt was
'mown that they (erred to change the opinion of his
late Right Honourable Friend, as to the point *fen.
lifting for a limited Oise. But Rill there were fevers')
of them which certainly.,:.were evidently not written
with any view to publicity. Upon the whole, he
would recommend that there documents Mould be
referred to the feveral officers for revifion before any.
were, produced; and that none sthould be laid before
the Houle if difagrenble..to the feelings of the per-
il ties. The Noble Lord denied the fart Rated by the
Right HonotirabJe Secretary, that the balance of
opinion in thole documents was ha favour attic item
pofcd plan of enliitment.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob
fared, that the prefent fubjed had undergone a dit
cullion of two or due/ years, and it was not a little
furprifing that thofe who belonged to the laR Adel
nitration, andnow wanted to have thole papers made
public, did not produce them during any part of the
time they were in office—(A (rye/ bear !)—Why did
any conceal—.(bear bear 1)--thefe papers froft die
Houk during the dikuffion of military marten of
great importance ? The Right Honourable Gentle.
man who made the permit motion did in fait call'
down a cenfore on himfelf for not having done that
which he now afked the Houle to do. Did hi mean
to call General Ofßcers to the Bar of the Houle, put
quell ions to them ; and a& them if a particular Bill
was to pats ? The Houfe could never think of refign-
log its authority In that way, and if there was any
thing which it ought to exercife its judgment upon
mote than another, it was that of putting an end to'
the term of military fervice The Houk did fo every
year in the cafe of the Mutiny Bill. He obje&ed to
the motion on general grounds. There was no occa-
lion for there opinions being Rated publicly to the
Houfe, when every Gentleman had the means of
hearing the opinions of officers in that Houfe, or of
confulting their military friends out of doors.
Mt. CANNING begged the Noble Lord to con 6-1
der, in jollification of the conduit of his late Right
Honourable Friend refloating there documents, that
there was a material difference between the declining!
to bring for Ward the difeuffion of a meafure, which'
was the cafe of his Right Honourable Friend, and
the determining to carry that reeafure into a law, u
was the cafe at prefent. With raped to ,the refill
ante now (hewn to afford the Houfe the information
applied for, it was curious to abler ye the contnell be-
tween the prance and profeffions of Come Gentle-
men. He would, merely for amifement. call the
recolledion of the Houfe to the Rory Which was lately
told to the Houk of the old Roman morafilli every
part of whore apartments were to be perfectly ex.
poled to public view. Bat he could not help (bleb-
,mg that this Flute was not of Roman, but of Go.'
tine ttrature, " huge windows that exclude the
light, and peffages that lead to nothing." (Aline )
Lord DE BLAQyIERE thought. that on qu i.
Lions relating to the operations of armies, military
men ought to be confultedi but with regard to the
means of recruiting armies, they could not be Co'
good judges as that Houk. He Wei forty to diferi
from fo many of his friends on this fobjeet, but be
thought they could not have an army without the
mature propofed by the Gentle Man oppcifut.
cruiting for a limited term was not a novel sneefure.
In 1770, he had the honour of being employed to
rails the r 7th Regiment of Dragoons; he emitted the
men for three years, at a (mall bounty. In 1782 he
is the whole regiment agais, then quartered at
Coventry, for one guinea bounty. He afterwards
vilified the whole, with the exception of every (mall
nuMber, for the third time, and his regiment went
afterwards to America, where they fought like lions.
(Rear ! hear !) He thought the enlitiment for a term
of years would tend to the fecurity of the country,
as well as the glory of the army and the comforts of
the foldiery, hot he did not approve of the little
crooked fixpence at the end of the week. (A /ave.)
Sir JAMES I'ULTENEY wifhed, as the fubjed
was Amon new to the Houfe, and to the country, to
fee the opinions of perfons cnnverfant with military
affairs laid befote the Houfe. He had thought much
on the fobjed, and yet he was convinced he Should
derive much information from their communications.
The practice of enlilling for a term of years had in•
deed been partially introduced into the army, but it
had produced fo little effect, as not to live much en-
couragement for its general application. Befides,
though the malice was not new, yet there was a great
difference between that partial entitling for time that
had already been tried, and a genet al enlifting for the
whole airily on the fame principle.
Mr. W. I)UNDAS was Corry to differ on this om
cation from Mole Gentlemen with whom he attune'
aced ; but lie could not confider the opinions that
had been moved for as proper for the public infpem
tion. They had not been written for the porpofe, or
with the defign of being communicated to she public.
They were of a private and confidential nature ;um!
halides that the publication of them might wooed tbe
feelings of individuals, the public fervice might Mkt
detriment from fuch a mature. Much might 'tract
pare that might be calculated to do publibeigifchief.
But though he deprecated their being laid baste the
Honk in their prefent form, they might yet perhaps
be reviled by thole who had of iginally given them in,
and in that Rate, with their confect, fubmitted to
Parliament. .

1 j
tiff. Ifolett iii &dreg Deuce of what had fallen'
from hit Hos. Friend, had no obeftion; with the tier.
ntiffion Of the linufe,lo withdraw his motion, provide'
bis Majetty's Minillets fhould give the Houle to us-
'detfland, that they would take the opinions of high
military authorities, for the purpofe of laying them
before the Houle.
Mr. FOX laid, that he had net heard one piece-
dent mentioned in fupport of the Motion, that was
a: all applicable to the fubjett. The meafure which
was propofed would go to alter the charafter of oft.-
cers, and invert them with that of legillators. &fides.
' there were certainly many Military Gentlemen ih the
Houle whole opinions would be of high autheoity in ..
addition to what other Members might learn' in the
courfe of theit converfatioos on the fubjeft. The pro:
fereriCe which the Haste mutt neceffarily give to the
opinion of one general officer above that of anothete
were they all laid before the Houle, might silo acrd to
legen the ufefulnsfs of officers and injute the general'
intetefts of the army. Befiies,• one man paid great'
4 deference to the opinion of one Generals, and ano-
ther to that of a fecond. and the confequence would
be that the Houfe might confult s hundred and fifty
4 Generals before they could form a decifion on tin!
point. There would be no end to the liftiog and
.. comparing of dijorent opinions. He therefore could
not content to the relent Motion, and he Scald by
no means pledge hintfelf to give it libretti-114 even in
the altered fate in which the Right Hod. Genllemaia
teemed to feel Inclined to pro e it. .
Mr. YORKE contended, t t when the ftibjea of •
. ifolB6cation, as planned. by the Duke of Richmond,
was before the Hoofe, General Officers had been coa-
foltod, and their opioions laid before the Houfe.
. Mr. FOX replied, that there was a dittiollion be-
Olken on Ilpi*n given in by a Knott: of Officers,
and that which' was communicated individually.—
The cafe referred to bad been of the former dela*.
tion, and, therefore, was no precedent for the mea-
fure now pr
Colonel CRAUFLTRD'faid, that tire queftion re-
(polling the Ohm of general fortification was purely
of a Military nature, and, therefore, military men
were, withyptat propriety, confulted by Parliament
on the occaGon. But the prefent was, by no means,
purely a inditary queftion, but required, in order to
its difeudion, the union of military information with
the talents of the Itatefman. He obferved, that when
the Hon. Mover of the prefent quetlion was himfeif
at the head of the War Department, we had a Mi-
litia amouming to sro,ooo, and an army for limited
fervice to the amount of so,ooo men ; he therefote
could trot perceive much confillency in his now repro-
bating a fiftem, upon which he hindelf had afted to
Co great an extent, and contending that the meafure
in queltion would caufe a military revolution, that
might be attended with die greatelt rifle.
Mr. HAWTHORNE emigrated the ftatement of
the Hon. Officer with regard to the amount of the
Militia and Army of Referve.
Mr. PERCIVAL took a general !View of the sr-
gnment% again& the motion. He conuocled that the
meafures of the late Adminieration had beer emi-
nently fuccefsful in fupporting and increaGog the Mi.
litary force of the country, amt that there was no ne-
ctar for having recourfe to new and untried em
rimenta on a fabled of Co Mirth importance.
new =afore was of fuels a: nature as tailed for the
opinions of peadirad and experienued men I but the
Hon. Seq mry teemed fo food of theory, that he
with,Ml to exclude predict altogether. It was ratheti
exttgordinary, that his Right Honourable Friend,
now no more, had Caen reafoo to alter that inclination
which be had felt for the principle of limited laving
from the very fame caufi that had confirmedthe Right
Hon. Secretary_in his original opinion. They had
both had recoarfe to the opinions of military men.
and had come to very different conclufions from thole
opinion*. This &told indite* the Houfe to call for
the fentidienti of experienced men. If Inch opinions
were withheld from the Honk. the natural conclegon
would be, that they were dpon the whole unfavouro.
ble to the meafure.
Lord TEMPLE contended, that the opinion fur-
tithed to the Houfe by a Board of Officers appointed
to examine the plan of general fortification, afforded
on precedent to guide the Houfe on the prefent mes-
as& That was a Public Board, ettablithed by his
omoiy, and refponfible to the country. The /lode
bad addreffed his Majelty on that occaftoo, that fuel
rota of their official proceedings as were et for pub.
lie infpeeion, &mild be laid before them, and this
'Addrefs bad been complied with. But he could fee
no analogy between that cafe and the prefent.
Mr. ROSE fpnke in fupport of confidering the
=refute as a prEfident, and was replied to by Mr.
CALCRAFT.
The queilion was then put, and the motion was ne-
gatived.
Mr. WINDHAM then brought up the Bill for re-
pealing the Additional Force AR. On the quettion
being put that it be read a fiat time,
General TARLETON laid, that fince Co much
time had been taken by the preceding debate, he
fhould not then enter into the confideration of the
Bill, but Ibould referve what he had to fay upon it
to a future opportunity. But be would call the at-
tention of the Houfe, to the papers containing the re-
turns of the men raifed under the Aft which this bill
was intended to repeal. There they would find do-
cuments to prove that the Ad lad been highly ufeful;
and he trotted, that the Houle would fee no reafon
for its repeal.
Mt. HAWTHORNE obferved, that if the Houle
did examine the returns, they would find that the Ad
had failed altogether.
Mr. PERCIVAL contended, that the AR was in
the courfe of producing more men than the original
mover of it had calculated upon. He therefore cal-
led on thofe who originally fupported the Aft to be
continent in oppofing its repeal.
