own opinions, and, therefore, iflt had even great of-
fence, he rnuß, equally with him, plead guilty. He
thought then highly of the Volunteers, but he-thought
alto, that their patriotifm and bravery mfghc have
been better direfted. But what then ? Thole o:nr:-
ments he expreffed at a time when they were hardly
formed into that &ape which they had afterwaids
borne. His having entertained that opinion original-
ly, refpetling the mode of forming fuch a force, was
not a fufficient reafon why he fhotild now endeavour
to deftroy the whole fyftena. It was not by referring
to what had been Paid two or three years ago upon
the formation of the fyflem, that the opinions and
conduit of Gentlemen refpeßing the Volunteers were
now to be judged. He certainly thought, that this
force might have been better modelled. In this,
however, he was perfeetly clear. Whatever elfe the
Houle did, let them repeal this Bill. All points that
concerned the allowances and rank of the Volunteers
might be as well fettled after the repeal of this AR,
as they could at prefent. The principle of limited
fervice for time might be adopted or qualified, in re
idled, kill as well as now. The propriety of adopt-
ing other modes of recruiting the army were quite
independent of this Bill. The high words he had
heard on this quellion &mid not area him. He was
not difpofed to difregard or neglect the opinions of
thole who were converfant upon the fubjedt, refpetl•
log limited fervice, but he was perfectly. convinced
that it was a meafure of fafety ; that it was not incon-
fißent with the fyftem of our army, nor repugnant
to any principle of the Conftitution ; and he thought
Gentlemen would be affiamed of the language they,
bad ufed in oppofition to the propofal.
Mr CANNING profeffed his difinclination to ob-
trude himfelf for any length of time on the attention
of the Houle, being already too fenfible of the indul-
gence (hewn him by the Houle. He condemned the
mode adopted by the Right Hon. Secretary of State,
of marking out the (cope and circuit of the debate,
from which no member was to depart, Did Mini-
fters conceive that their ftaternents were to go for ar-
gument and decifion ? Had the queftion before the
Houfe been the repeal of the Income Tax, would rot
Gentlemen have a right to examine what was to be
fubftituted in its place ? The Right Hon. Gentleman
bad Rated that he had many meafures to propofe,
yet he Mewed uncommon earneftnefs to do away this
fingle meafure of his predeceffor. The Chancellor
of the Exchequer in his financial meafures had eftab-
tilted the plans of his predeeeffor, and had propefed
the means of continuing them. The Right Ho
siourable Gentleman who (poke tail had placed the
quellion on fuch narrow grounds, the experience
only of a few months, that he could fcarcely con-
fider his view of the tbbjett as originaring with
himfelf. The modes of comparifon taken were un-
fair. He could produce from the documents months
when the army recruiting was high and the opera-
tion of the bill low, and vies verfa and others again
when both were high. The Noble Lord had (aid, that
the debate was only on the Bill for England. Did he
mean to fay, that it was not to be debated generally ?
Did be mean that the Houfe were to begin again, ab
initio' upon the Bill that refpefted Scotland and Ire-
land? Woul4 he not think that fuch a mode would
be idle, and even embarrafbng ? But the Noble Lord
bad Rated the defections of the whole force againft
the tingle produce of England. (No!) This was cer-
tain. Had be calculated the difference, he would
have found it materially to aft.% his featiments. Into
the other fiatements he should net enter "ab saw dilee
otruser." The Militia had not been extended, becaufe
it was not found that it could fupport itfelf to the full
extent. But would the Houfe part with a Bill
which extended the advantages of the Militia, and
recruited, at the fame time, the regular force, with-
out the inconvenicncies of a ftanding army f Gentle-
men might with the repeal from various reafons. It
was the only meafure of his decealed Right Honour.
able Friend that they could get rid of. Let them
gratify their hatred of their predeceffor as they
pleafed ; but let them not deprive the country of the
operation of a valuable and efficient meafure. The
neceffity of a regular force was univerfally admitted;
but let them not diminifh the voluntary forces of the
country, and throw a ridicule upon them. The Right
Honourable Gentleman then made tome revere corn.
xnents upon one of the Members for Leicefterfhire,
whole conduit he contralled with that of his colleague
in the opinions they had delivered upon the bill, and
if a diffolution of Parliament was in view, their con-
flituents would be their judges. If he were not to
argue on the prefent motion from what was to be
propefed, Gentlemen, in their turn, he fuppoled,
would not argue from what was pail, on the queftion
of their new fchemes, a compromife infinitely to the
advantage of thofe with whom he acted.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
explained, that he had Rated the number of men rail-
ed in England, Scotland, and Ireland. He hoped
that when the Right Honourable Gentleman affumed
credit to himfelf for his accuracy, he would nut be
forward to accufe others of inaccuracy.
Mr. CANNING Paid, that the Noble Lord had
defended himfelf for his inaccuracy by the abfence of
The papers, which were before the Houle.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
explained again, and maintained the accuracy 4f his
former ftatement.
Mr. CANNING role again and perfifted in what
be had before raid, (a try of order! order 1). Mr.
Canning proceeded to notice the lotidnefs of the ex-
clamations, when the Speaker called to order.
The LORD ADVOCATE of Scotland role to
make a few remarks upon the operation of the Bill ;n
that part of the United Kingdom. Every body, who
knew any thing about Scotland, enuft know that the
Bill was in that country nothing more than a tax of
twenty pounds upon the pacifies, for &steely a man
could be railed by it. In the county of Edinburgh, a
place that one would have thought 'Foy likely for
procuring men, where there were a nullifier of the
idle and poor, not a tingle msn could be got. • The
people of Scotland were a very iiigacinue people;
they kept the bounds the law prefcribed them, and
when they could not get the men, they paid the
money. He had attended the county meeting of
Edinburgh, when nothing could be done to facilitate
tb, ifing of men. Who were the parifh officers ? the
mailer and the fexton : but the fixtnn's efforts
the men were found unavailing (alawsh). Yet
:nnnry of Air they did contrive to get men.
by lendirg to manufaCturing towns and em.
crimp, ot by giving too much money. It

Was a molt extraordinary way of railing men under
a particular Ad by viola. iqg the Alf Nett. He
hoped the Houfe would in inch cafes impute their
condo& to theii loyalty and teal rather than to any
thing elle. He 'tied not feel himfelf quite competent
to judge of a meafore which had been introduced into
, the Houfe before he had the honour of fitting there;
hut from all he had heard, he had no difficulty in
voting for the repeal of the Bill. It was ufelefs. It
was oppreffive and unjuft in its operation. It was
deflrutlive to the mode of recruiting for the regular
army. It could only live by the breach of it. No
let of men in the country were more entitled to con-
fideration than the volunteers of Scotland. They
were animated by the trueft pattiotifm and valour.
If they could be led to any mirconception of the plan
propoled,, it mull be from the accounts in the newt:
papers fent down to them of the fpeeches of the Hoo.:
Gentlemen who to- warmly oppofed it. He knew
that the volunteers of Scotland were fenflble men,
and would be the firth to he latish ed with what Ow
wifitom of the Houle might ern& for the general
benefit, to make them moll ufeful to the ithantry.—
Whatever Parliament might enact, _he hoped and
was confident that their love for their country would
be fufficient to make them continue their Cervices with
the fame cordiality, loyalty, and spirit they bad
hitherto evinced.
Mr. HAWTHORN waked to trefpafs upon the
indulgence of the Houfe for a fhort time. The Rate-
meats which he had made in the cootie of a fortinr
debate had been arraigned as partial, by a Noble
Lord on the oppofite bench. He wiffied he hid'
thought proper to.point out in what tepee they were
inaccurate. He had the documents in his hind to
which he had referred on a former evening, and,
with the permiffion of the Houle, he would again ap-
ply to them (loader, of gueflion, quelion). He per-
ceived the Houfe was not inclined to bear him, and
he would therefore fit down.
Mr. BRAGGE BATHURSTdeclared, thatitwaa
with reluitance he obtruded himfelf upon the Hoare,
• but the fpeech of the Right Hon. Gentleman had
made it neceffary for him to fay a few words. He
fupported the fiatement of the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, refpeeling the amount of defertions, avid
contended, in oppofition to the. Right *Honourable
Gentleman (Mr. Canning) that the average bad heeti
fairly taken. His principatobjelt, however, in riffng;
• was to juftify himfelf and his friends for having hall
rattly contented to continue and now voting
for its repeal. It was within his know/ledge that the
illuftrious charaeler who firlt *pored the a& which:,

never intended that it &child Opeeate as a ineafure of

The atteatioa of the Houle was part of tie time occupied, we
underltand, by an affair which occurred Taft Friday. A geotionao
mifeondudted Idinfelf greatly, we underitand, to one of the

the circumitaaces of the affair, which were loch as to induce the
Houle to order the attendance of the party complained of at the
Bar to-morrow.

' Pawling the eselniloo, their Lordihips made an Order, that

TRADE TO THE WAIT lIEDiEt.

Lord SHEFFIELD obferved, that he had on the
preceding dayprefented a petition againft a bill then
before the Hook, which went to permit Americans
to carry on Trade to our Weft India Colonies, so.
the fubverfion of our navigation, laws, and the in:
jury of our trade. If fuch an intercourfe was kee-
-1 mitted, it would not only materially injure the fhip
ping intereft of great Britain, but alfo the proviliot.
trade of Ireland. It would betides operate as a check'
upon the Newfoundland Fifhery. He wilted that
the perfons whole names were finned by the petition
in queftion; might be heard at theßar by their Counfel
againfe This bell, fo as to prove the allegations fit'
forth in their petition : and tnr that purple it would
be proper to poilpone the bill for ten days longer.
His Lordlhip then moved that the order for the
' fecond reading be difeharged.
This motion was negatived.
The order of the day was then moved for the feeond
reading of the bill.
Lord HOLLAND and Lord AUCKLAND re-
peated the arguments they had advanced on a former
oecation in favour of this meafure ; that it was in the
firft place a matter of abfolute neceftity, and in the
next place that the trade carried on by Americans
could do no injury wh*vcr to this country, which
mull rather benefit byttheir profperity.
Lord G RENVILLE expreffed himfelf to the Lam:
effea, and explained the meafure to be nothing more
than one to empower the Privy Council to direct that
to be done. which the Governors of the Weft India
Wands had hitherto done on their own refponlibility.
The Bill wittallb fupported by the Lord Chancel-
ler, Earle of Lauderdale and Carnarvon, and the
Doke of Clarence. It was oppnfed by Earl Camden,
Lords Eldon, Hawkelisury, an Mulgrave. It was
at length read a fecund time, and ordered to be com-
