SIUTINY BILL. e
The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved that the H
should go into a Committee on this sill. -
Earl GROSVENOR said, it must depend on the
answers which he might-receive from the Noble 6e.
cretary of State to certain points' which he meant tol
. animadvert on, whether he should g'eve his assent to
the Bill going into a Committee. There were many
persons sent from the hulks into -the Army, he bad
heard, to the extreme dissatisfaction of the Officers
and prejudice of the service. He admitted• that it
was proper to allow small bodies of Convicts to be :
introduced into the Army, according to their amend-
ment
during their confinement, and with a view to.:
their retrieving their characters ; but certainly not in '
such numbers as he had heard, nearly equalling whole
regiments at a time. He had also heard, that Irish-
men, in the orders given to the recruiting Serjeants j
of several regiments, were not to he enlisted, and that
foreigners were received into the same regiments.—'
For his part, he could not conceive why the people of
that country should be so much stigmatized, when it
was well known that they made the bravest and
steadiest of soldiers. The next point which he had to
mention was the establishment of Schools in the Arm y
by the Commander in Chief, for which his Royal
Highness deserved the greatest praise ; but this
was also liable to objection ' . for those schools aeon
Ara established alter Mr. Lancastei's plan, which
was conduCted on the principles of the Church of
England, and partly on the Madras system 61 Dr.
Bell. lie ( Lord Grosvenor) thought that this sys-
tem should not have been objected to because it was
introduced by a dissenter of any description whatever.
With regard to the recruiting of the Army by the
Means used at present, he thought -there-was great
reason to regret that the system of recruiting, RS esta-
blished in 1806, had been abolished before it had se-
ceived a fair trial ; but even with that small trial it
bad been more effectual than any other means &mug ; :

MUIRIPIESENTAZION.
Mr. BARING, in rising to move for certain docu-
ments connected with finance, said he never doubted
the solvency of the Bank ; nor, he believed, was there a
Gentleman-in the House that did. He was of cpi.
njon, that, on a very short notice, the Bank would be
able to pay, even in specie, all demands which could
be made upon it. The Honourable Mcruber conclu-
ded by moving for an account of the different sums
"Talsed for the public service each year, since the year

SCARCITY 111 [RYLAND.
, Mr. M. FITZGERALD. after some ob%rzatioes,
ia the course of which he stated, that by the motion
lie was about to submit, it was far from his intention;
,to raise any alarm of scarcity prevailing in Irelnd—
stich alarm by no means existed in his mind; but it

IycLuid. He believed the crops in Irclard had been'

cpunties would more than suffice to supply the kit.
city in others. An alarm had spread abroad, that the
quantity of grain used by the &sullen had done much
tpwards producing this scarcity, and that ranch more
than a usual quantity of gr.tin had been applied to
the purposes of distillation. It was not his inttntiou

had been paid in Ireland, from the ith of January.
1811, to the latest period to which the same could be
made up, and the aniutust of the duty so paid."
Mr. W. POLE felt no inclination to oppose the
motion, especially after the manner in which it bad
been brought forward.
: Sir J. NEWPORT thought the House should be
very careful how it interfered to interrupt the free ie,
tercourse between the two countries.
Mr. MA RItYATT thought the Regent should
have the power of suspending distillation in lielan4
as in England.—The motion was then agreed to.
Mr. III'ZGERALD then moved for an accouna
of the quantities of flour, meal, and malt esporteil
from Ireland, from the sth 4111w:try 1811; to the
; latest period the same could be made up.—Ordered.
