tinguished.conussand.: I-k pointedly remarked the
peculiar circumstances in this Noble and Gallant
Otitcer's ease, which was, that he was the Officer se.
leered and appointed to manage and superintend the
• formation of the Portuguese army. If their Lord-
ships recollected what was thought of that army in
the_beginning of 11* Contest, and considered what it
now is known to be, raised to such' a pitch of renown
and reputation, that even British soldiers-themselves
confessed them to be their equals in arml, the House
world appreciate the industry, • talents, and ability
evinced by Sir William Beresford, in that arduous
and important undertaking. The Noble Earl then
adverted to the cases.of those other gallant and:meri-
torious Commanders on whom the honours of the
Peerage had been el:inferred, and which was unac-
companied by any, propositions of a similar nature
wish the foregoing, with respect to them. He ob-
served it was merely because, from the circumstances
under which-they were placed, and it not appearing
to their families or friends, that such a proceeding
would be desirable, that similar applications were nut
made. The omission was therefore from considera-
tions of delicacy, and not from the least want of a
full sense of their high professional talents and emi-
nent services. •
Viseo u t MOUNTJOY took an opportunity of pay-
ing a brief, but neat tribute of applause, to. the great
professional merits and valuable services of Lord Be-
resford.
The Duke of NORFOLK took occasion to call the
attention of his Majesty's Ministers to the situation of
the Officers on half-pay, in both lines of service. They
were a class of men highly deserving the favourable
consideration of Government, without which, their
circumstances would be far from that which their
merits and situation entitled them to.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL assured* the Noble
Duke, the subject adverted to by him was under the
• serious consideration of his Majesty's Gove?nment,
with a view to some proposition to Parliament. The
Noble Duke must be aware the subject was a compli-
cam' one, and attencicd with many difficulties. Every
attention would) however, be paid to the situation of
theie persons in both Army and Navy, that the dr-
cumstances of the country would allow.
The question for the Corresponding Address to the
Prince Regent was then put, and immediately voted
by their Lordships nem. efis.
After transacting some routine business, the House
adjourned till to-morrow.
