DETENCIS Of TN! CV/10W.

The HeinleTefolved ittelf into a Committee on the
General Defence Ael Amendment Bill.
The SF.CRETARY at Wait laid, he had a dente to
prnpnfe, which he Ihould defer offering until the third
reading of the Bill.
Mr. Beano, gave notice, that he would to-mar.
row move a clause, for the porpofe of extending the
exemption to that feet of religious perfons called Mo.
ravians, in the fame manner as Q2akers were already
exempted.
Mr. Wit.nratoaca faid. he hoped this Bill would
not change the chnrafter of the meafure, Inch as it
had been originally intended, for arming the people
in a mats, for the defence of the country. fI
Mr. Wninnam objeded to the Bill, becanfe the
great mars of the people to be railed for the general
defence was to confifl of Volunteers. He faid. he
difliked that fort of ariflocratical diainilion which
would thereby prevail throughout the country. He
thought there meafures of defence ought to have been
had recnurfe to much earlier, and that Knitters were
to blame for their improper delay. He did not know
how form there might be *confirm for calling out our
troops to *dive fervice, and therefore he could not
approve of the condoet of Government in bringing
firward meafures which ought to have been difctiffed
long fince. We had as yet got nothing for our defence
but mere paper; for his part, he liked tantalising
more fobßantial for any defence than paper bullets.
Execrable as many of the public prints were, he had
now and then met with opinions relative to this rub.
jeoff, which pettedly coincided with his own. In one
of there pints, he had found an ohfervation relative
to Volunteers. that it was impoffible that they could
make rod foldiers, and that loch a diflindion could
not fail to put the defence of the country upon a bad
footing.
Mr. SKIRIellf could not help eeprelLog his ago.
nifhment at the ideas the Right Hon. Gentleman had
thrown out, relative to the public prints. He had
found them often limed with confiderable
inforopt-
tinn. He would wills the Right Hon. Geotlentan to.
remember, that the Libertref the Ptefs was a mate-
rial point in our glorious Conflitution. That Right
Hne. Member had. however. cantered he had de-
rived come information, or found a coincidence af.
opinion in one particular journal, while in general,
the others were denominated execrable Rol fle
fuppofed there might be a fry* jowled, which
that Right Honourable Member might reckon not
execrable, he meant Cobbett'i ,eltly Journal.
which he fuppofed that Right Hon. Gentleman *mild
fay was filled with admirable dextrine ; aad he had
no doubt it was a journal which .rescued efiflance
from tome high authority. There was no .pcSble
mode of raifing a fyfiem of defence. which a recta,
who is much difpoled to wavety weiedd an obit& to.
He liked this prefent Bill better, bedmeth it tended-to
make the As it was intended to -mused famewhat
more unnecerary in its execution and °Petition.
It was not intended that Volunteers °would be marched
to fupply vacancies in Regular Regiments. it would
be allonithing if men, who had entered as Volunteers,
were to be marched and encamped with the Army ;
and. like them, fubjeded to military law, 'and tied to
a halbert and flogged, if they (peak a difrelpedful
ward to their Serjeants. The Right Honourable
Gentleman had notated his diflike at taking Volun-
teers from their houfes, on account of their being
men ill adapted to military ferries ; but he flosuld',
with him (Mr. Windham) to recoiled that they
would be equally talten from their homes. were
they not entered as Volunteers.—He appioved of
arming the lower clefs cf people in the Country, as
well as the higher cies in the towns, and he thould
coincide in die propriety of the laws, as they now
flood, that Volunteers fltould not be placed in the
fituation of thofe men who were railed in a man-
n tr. by compulfinn s the alterations prorfed by
the prefent Bill t:nded to leffen the comp!icated
mo 'e of making the calculation. as to the number of
Voluoteen which timid entitle any parish to be et-
'opted from the operation of the lewy is wefi. We
ought, it: thou ht. to flop at no effort ; we moll look
ttton the mote calamitous and difattrous events as
b.ing likely lc b ppen ; and, with all our signer and
energy prepare for the ecrnfequences. We limitary*
to the State of Ireland, to fee what may happen there.
Ireland mull not be allowed to feparate from this
Country ; but we mull ad as if fuch a thing were
poMble, and, therefore, ufe our utmoll exertions to
prevent its taking place, and be able. at a moment's
notice, to fend out whole difporable force in order
to fecure that Country to a arid adherence.
Mr. Ws replied. The Hon. Gentleman
appeared to him to have walled his obfervations on
points which had nothing to do with the queflion.
As a new convert, the Hon. Gentleman perhaps withed
to difplay his zeal. He had fired off his mullet
without any impreflion, and in return teemed to court
a fanner engagement. He would not now enter on
that engagement. He mottled his decided ditap.
probation of the cundoid r,f Minillers, for the tardy
and inefficient manner in which they had intro/it:zed a
nieafeire on which the fatty of the empire now fu ma-
terially depended. Delay was now infinitely dila firms,
beanie without expedition, the Bill was totally ofe-
Ws, and the enemy might have undertaken his plans
of invafion before it was reduced to prallice.
Throughout the whole C.untr7 the greateß tumult
precai.ed from the ITICAIIIM retorted to. to give it
effea. In every quartet therewas a buille and a trepi•
dation not inferior to what prevailed in a dill:id where
they were making preparations for a hoefe.racing
meeting. Nothing was filed, nothing elear.o—The
fchoolmaner received his ilia, ',Cons, and new es--
planatioos were uneffery to enable him to meta, bis
duty. At this moment we were as far hum having

der:‘ed mit efretlual benefit from the Alt, as at the
moment when it was originally ptopofed. The Hon.
Gentleman teemed to think that much had been gain-
ed by the elevation of the public fpirit. He had alio
thought proper to pars an high eologium on the pub-
lic priers. and had at the fame time referred to the
opininnswhich he had already declared on the fubjeA.
After the country has been involved in a ten years
war, during which. the Hon. Gentleman has been
Petting fire to. the four corners of Europe, now he
comes with his folitary -bucket. or rather thimble-
ful) of water, to extinguilh thofe flames which he had
before been fa indufirions in kindling. The Hon.
Member had alluded to the Author of a Journal, as
the fouree of his(Mr.Windham's) information. What
ever might he the fentiments entertained of that
Journal, he thought that the Authdr tfoferved a Ra-
use of gold to be erbthd to him. He contended
that, as an inducement to Volunteers of a certain
defcription. it might ;,e proper to hold nut to them.
that they were not to be fubjelled to the fame extent
of fervice, as thole men to be railed by the Bill ; but
he did not approve of this being done equally to all
Corps. He Mould only proprife to make exemptions
extend to loch men as could be included in the third
or fourth Clafs of the Army ea xrli; ; men who were
f cable in their bodies' and perhaps. in their minds.
He should exempt Volunteer Corps, confining of,
that dektiption of men ; but he had nn idea of then
young and robull being allowed to find refuge. and
screen themfelves from that fort of fervice which the
King's prerogative could exaft of them. He (brand
therefore lekve his Msjelly at liberty, either to accept
of more or left Volunteers,of any parilh. as he might
judge roper. He deprecated. how.v!r, the plan
I altogether of allowing the force of the Country to sn
into that chaisnel.
Mr. Smttlbin Paid he ennld not hut exprefs Lis]
obligations to the Right Hon. Gentleman, for the
manner in which he had complimented him for the
share he had in Petting fire to the four quarters of the
sorted, though he could not understand the allufion.
The Right Hon. Gentleman had been pleated to ad-
vert to his being a convert. and herr ton he was
equally at a lots in forming an idea of his alfertion.—
He fhnuld he thankful if the Right Hon. Gentleman
would explain, in what points of view he was a
convert. Was there any thing new in his riling
above the dirty eonfiderations of party (pink, at a Inn.
mad when the fafety of the Empire was involved?
Was there any thing new in his riot willing to give
a faittous opprifition to Minißers, when there appear-
ed nothing in their conduit to call for it? Was there
any thing new in his Rending up in fupport of the li.
ben, of the peels? He felt at pfefest for his Ditsießy's
Miniaerst He was lorry for their fituatinn in being
lb havered* at a time when all animofity ought to
ceafe, when all party fpirit ought to be filenced. He
was form-iced that the Right lion Gentleman could
talk in this manner at this particular time. He had.
however. only heard a refers I for he thought the
Right Honourable Gentleman had forgot to put in
any kit. in order to add weight to his objeitions.—
The Right Honourable Gentleman imagined he
ennumuided very fine artillery; but in his (Mr. She-
ridan's) opinion, he had only thrown out fatal) flats
at his antagositts, while he aceufed them of neglea
lag the mote important duties. He (Mr. Windham)
has aceufed even the newspapers. As for the battle
which the Right Hon. Gentleman bed mentioned as
being likely to take place at the meant moment. on
account of the preparations for our defence. be (Mr.
Sheridan) sinta delighted to hear it. The Right Ho.
ncsnrable Gentleman has laid, that the prefect enta-
fore was no mote than a paper bullet. and that it bad
.not brought a tingle man. If that be the care then.
eackimed the Right Honourable Gentleman. what
a tune fur Bonaparte to come ! ! He ironed. how-
ever: that the FUR Conful of France would not
think of coming thefonner in conleqiience offuch an
invitation. So far from there not being a tingle man
obtained already by the late vigorous exertions of
Government, he could Rate that there were no leis,
than ryo,ooo Volunteers who have already offered
their cervices. The Right Hrinourable Gentleman
might (es he chore to do) regret that fueh meafures
were not adopted looser : but the only confequence
would have been. that bland of his having only
three days for the purple of flaring his objeetions,
and finding fault with the conduit of Miniders, be
would have had three months to abufe them, and
undervalue them in the eves of the people. For his
part, he was certain that inch a conduit cNild not be
agreeable to the people. The whole (piens of the
Right Hon. Gentleman had been tending to lead the
Country to apathy, to difpirit it, and reduce it to a
bale refignation to an infolent foe. The Right Hon.
Gentleman had inferred as much as that peace could
not be procured for this Country until one particular
man Gould become his Ittajelly'a Minifler t and that
the- Country has nothing like glory or honour to fight
for. Such had been the method purfued by that
, Right Hen. Gentleman. in order to inspirit the pea
r'f this Country for their defence. The Right
Gentkaian had laid, that lie co.:ld prove to de-
monftration; that no such force as a body of Militia
could be able to contend with the regular force which
the enemy May bring forward. If there were a trea-
dle to be written by the Right Hon. Gentleman upon
the art of railing the (pries of the people, to his for-
mer capacity of Secretary of Wardle knew no ufe of
which inch a treatife could have been in this Coun-
try. though it might be of much ufe indeed to en.
courage the attempts of Bonaparte and his followers.
As fur the flatus which the Right Hon. Gentleman
has slated to raise to the author of a certain publi-
cation (Cobbett), he should jun beg leave to recal to
his attention the doatine which the perfon to whom
he had referred had laid down in a late number of
his publication. His language amounted to this :
that the exigence of the funds, and the exigence of
the Monarchy are incompatible. (Some expel:Gnu
nt.diffent was here fignified by Dr Laurence). Mr.
Sheridan continued. He was glad to hear the
Leanted Gentleman groan at such a Centimes' being
expreffed. No dpubt he (Dr. Laurence) entered into
the idea of the flatus; which, if be had a hand in the
bufinefs. would certainly be a colotal one.
Mr. WILLIAM SMITH expelled his approbation of
the Bill. and the grounds upon which it was formed.
/weenie it miginated and roofed that (pan, which
now masifelled itself. and changed this Comity into
an armed nation. He liked the Bill bed in its ori-
ginal Rape; becaafe it obliged the rsPink mars of the
people to be trai,ted to arms Ile, however, difap- '1
proved tic principle of sacaspting wbola

beesufe a few of the tooh fp;rited had the eont2fe
and patriotifm to volunteer the Cervices even though
this be a Matter of difcretion on the part of his bla-
jefty. He wifhed the training to enend even to the ,
fourth Claf‘. The 3d and 4th Claffes, though not lit
for altual Cervices would be found to contain men
moft zealous for the welfare of their countr.,,s and who
would afford en infermonntabfe barrier to the enemy.

Colonel AaewDALa condemned the conduit of thole,
who went on, from day to day. abufing the conduit
and reeking to embarrafs the bufinefs of his Majelly's
Mini( ors. The more candid way would be at once
to move an Addrefs for their difmifral. and take the
fenfe of Parliament and the Country upon the filbjell.,
Mr. WINDHAM laid, as font allutinn had bean
made to Mr. Cobbett and his publication, he did not
take upon him to fay he approved of every tingle fan-
tenor or fentiment in that paßer.

tion of duty upon every Rabjea to defend the country
wherever invafion is threatened, I would with to faa
this without compulfion. I know that the Volta.
tee will do it without compulfios. The Right Hon.
Gentleman has faid, that the etre& of this Bill will
be. that the country mull rely for its defence upon
voluntary fervice. This, however, is far from being
the cafe. There is not a tingle meafure of which the
Right Hon. Gentleman has not fpoken in tarots which
mutt have created alarm in the country, as to our
Rate of defence. I fhould be apt to think that Ado
(perches proceeded from bad motives, were I not
convinced of the refpraability and good intentions of
the Right Hon. Gentleman. Of our Militia. bur
Vohtnteers, and our regular force, he has always
fpoken in a manner whirl has produced (edition of
