pitulated all his arguments, placed Anne of them in
new points of view, and concluded by obferving,
that onlefs he heard fume ftronger objedions to the
meafure than thole which had been urged', he Ihould
think it his duty to perlilt in prefiing the Houle to a
further conlideration of the queltion.
The CIIANCELLOZ of the EXCNICISPIL Lid, he
fhould fe(l himfelf cheerfully difpnfed to concur in
any eligible meafure that would give them the means
of improving their difcipline, or adopting any regu-
lation for that purpofe, which they might be difpof-
ed to accept, with good effea ; but he had his
doubts of the practicability of going to the extent
propofed by the Right Hon. Gentlemen in giving
Field Officers, in any neceffary proportion, to fo nu.
memos a body as the Volunteers of the United King.
dont, compofed of a number not lefs than 430,000
Men, which, divided into battalions of Soo men each
tipon an average, would conftitute 860 battaliops, to
'each of which it would be impraaicable, continently
'with the fervice of the line, to afford a Field Officer.
it had been (aid, that the half-pay lilt would afford,
)f drawn on, a confiderable (apply of officers fuitable
Tor this purpofe. But the fad is, that the half pay
%ill had Keen already drained of fo great a number
for other branches of the fervice, and was thereby In
much reduced, as net to afford any number at all
approaching to the proportion which fuch a regula-
tion would demand. To meet fuih an exigency, if
it were to be adopted, recourfe mint be had to the re-
gular regiments, at prefent confiding of about 7o bat-
talions of infantry, and a 6 of cavalry ; and from thefe
it would be neceffary to take eight Officers from each
battalion, which would go direaly to weaken the re-
gular forces in one of the molt effential points of their
strength. The Right Hon. Gentleman had fuggefied,
that old Captains would anfwer every purpofe of
Field Officers, if the latter could not be (pared. But
when it was confidered. how rarely all the neeeffary
qualifications of a Field Officer were united in an in-
dividual, and particularly for a fervice which requir.
ed fo much temper, judgment, moderation, and
addrefs. to take the direaion of Officers and Corps
fo conaruaed as thofe of the Volunteers, fuch men
fo qualified could not be taken from the regular ar-
my, without doing that branch of the fervke an
injury almoll irremediable. Such Officers would in-
deed be calculated to lead any troops to glory ; but
they bad formed their ideas of glory upon very diffe.
rent grounds from thofe on which they might be
called to as ; and fit far from adding by fuch a roes
lure, to the arength of your force. we fhould tate
from the regular army, that which coollitutes the
tffence of its ftrength. Asother eireuntflance had
recently reached his knowledge, which was. that
the Captains of Volunteer Corps would not take it
well to be fuperfeded in their authority. by the ap-
pointment of Field Officers over them ; becaufe, in
fad, fuch a meafure would be contrary to the ori-
ginal cornpaa under which thofe corps were formed,
namely, the attachment of the individuals who com-
mand the corp., who would thesnfelves be averfe to
having the command of them transferred to others.
The Right Hon. Gentleman did not with to give
"fuel officers to any corps but thofe who willed for
them ; but to this he objected, on the ground that it
would place the officers in the neceffity of making
propofals to the privates, which would be put to the
vote; this would lead to cabals and oppofitions of
fentiment. which in the end might dellroy the una-
nimity fo defirable to be maintained, and finally be
productive of Serious anifcbief. There were the
grousis on which he differed from the Right Hon.
Gentleman in that part of his Ratement. But, with
refped to every other means of improving the difci-
pline of the Volunteer Corps, which enabled us, at
this day, to look with a proud defiance at the me-
naces of the enemy, he could have no objedion : he
therefore agreed in the idea of giving to the Corps
a fair proportion of Adjutants and bajeant Majors,
and thought the country highly indebted to thole
from whom the fuggeftion came. He approved alfo
the fuggeftion of joining all (mall Corps in one vici-
nage into battalions, and that they fhould occafion-
ally derive every aid from the infpedion and direc-
tion of the Generals of the Army, Rationed in their
retpedive diarias. But the idea of depriving the
regular army of itt Field Officers, for the purpofe of
attaching them entirely to Volunteer battalions, he
could not approve. The Right Honourable Gentle-
man had alluded to the regulation adopted in the
Militia Regiments La year, allowing the admiflion
of Officers from the half-pay to commands in the
Militia, but reariaing the Lord Lieutenants of coun-
ties from giving to Etch Officers any command be-
yond the rank of Captains; and argued. that no ob-
jcdion was entertained by the fubalterns and privates
in fuch regiments agaiaa tbe promotion of thole offi-
cers. He begged, however, to obferve, that this
promosion to the rank of Captain in fuch cafes was
only where nu qualified Gentleman of the coonty
could be gat to accept the Commitfion. But there
was a material difference between the nature of the
corps; the Militia regiments were for the molt part
compofed of ftibllitutes taken from the lowea order
of the community ; whereas the Volunteer Corps
were compofed from men of all chafes, many tithe=
the mull refpeaable, and therefore the fame Ingo-
;tient could nut apply to both, in the cafe either of
officers or privates ; and upon this ground, he dill
feted from the Right Honourable Gentleman, with
velpea to the measure now in view. With regard to
the deficiencies in the regular troops of the country,
as compared with the number voted in the ellimate
-tow before the Houfe, he believed it would be found
ouch lower than ufual upon a comparifon of ((fee-
,ive force, with the estimates upon homer occations.
Cm under the head of Artilltry, when the calumet
seas fur 13.000 men, the deficit was only 48o; that
regular army did not exceed scoo ; and with
Miser% to that of the Militia, he bad every reaton to
hope that in the emir& of the approaching recefs,
ample means would be taken, under the 'exertions
cf Gentlemen throughout the country, to complete
this branch r.f i:.e public force.
Mr. PITT explained. by difelaiming any fuch idea
as that quellioos were to be put to the privates of
Volunteer Corps, for their acceptance of Field Of
Been; it was for the diredioo of the Officers of filch
corps only, that he meant the benefit of Field Offi-
cers, and to them only that the choice Mould be re-
ferred.

The Cosscrsiot of the Esc', F ety is replied, that
Otis objeition was, that thole Officers might come
to decitions in Inch cafes, co/aunty to the •ithes of
slack Caps.

• . , ,
Mr. Woman regretted the tilisfortune of dig
feting liv,pinion from the Right Hon. Gentle Man
under the Gallery (Mr. Pitt) upon any topic ; but
this occafion he muk differ from him mo ma.
terially. His with was to render the Volunteer
force as efficiest as potfible, by rendering its dif.
etpline as perfea as was praCticable; but he, (Mr.
Windham), however he might coincide with the
Right Hon. Gentleman, in wifhing to render the
force as efficient as poflible, for the purpofe it was
intended, differed with him widely as to the general
praaicability of the project. The Right Hon. Gentle.
man poffibly imagined, that becaufe a portion of this
force had, under the aufpices of his own talents and
perfevering affiduity (under which every thing mull
improve which he undertook), been brought to a
confiderable degree of perfeCtion ;—trained, as they
were, in a poll of danger, and in continual view of
the enemy; excited to the necellity of difcipline un-
der the immediate care of the Right Hon. Gentle.
man himfelf, and with the high authority and advan-
tages he polfeffed ; yet he conceived the Right Hon.
Gentleman was much deceived, if he imagined the
fame thing was pralticable generally throughout the
Country. But he himfelf had decided objeetions to
the whole Volunteer Sytlem altogether. He was
afraid of it as an armed democracy, from which, in
his view, much mifchief was to be hereafter appre-
hended to the country. He objeeted to it as generally
interfering with the fettled order of fociety in the
country, becaufe it took away from the ufeful handi-
craft labourers highly neceffary to the manufaetures,
trade, and profperity of the country; becaufe it pro-
duced a confolion of all racks in fociety, and of all
diitinaions in life ;—becanfe it tended to depreciate
all ellimation of rank in the army, by the dikribu-
tion of Military Commiflions to low mechanics,
and men of no refpea. Another objet was, the
drat it would have on the (pink of the country, and
the tendency it would have to humble the fpirit, or
vitiate the principles of the Regular Army ; and,
laaly, for its inefficiency to the purpofes for which
it was propofed.. Mr. Windham then proceeded,
in a fpeech of confiderable length, to amplify the
opinions he had before expreffed, in condemnation
of a public force, conftituted as that of the Volun-
teers appeared to his vitw ; and he argued, that if
the fyttem had been taken from one of the Pigeon
holes is the bureau of dflbey .s.ga himfelf, it could not
have been more completely organized for a revolu-
tionary democraery of armed- men. It elected its
own Officers, and afterwards debated in committees
(computed of a fubaltern, non.commiffionesl Officers
and pnvates) whether they fhould obey or cathier
thole Officers. The whole bufinefs of each Corps was
directed by cabals and debating focieties of this fort;
and nothing was to be done, nor a movement made,
without a queßion, a difeuiron and a vote in this
Committee. This even the Right Hon. Chancellor
of the Exchequer admitted in his fpeech this night ;
for it appeared, his principal objection to the propofid
of * Right Hon. Gentleman under the gallery, for
allowing Field Officers to Volunteer Battalions, was,
left the privates might be difpleafed with fuch ap-
pointments; or the Officers, in accepting them, ex.
ercife a difcrction offenfive to thofe under their cons.
mend. Here then was avowed one of the effects
which he feared fo much, and which proved to him,
they were Co cooßituted as to be utterly incapable of
the difcipline and fubordination indifpenfably necef-
&try to an cffedive army,on which any reliance could
be placed. Many might think the adage ex rani:hat,
&e. &e. might be applied to an army; bat to the
volunteer force he would apply the homely Englifh
adage—" You can't make a in porfe of a row's
ear." In fad, it would not do :—it was not COllll.
poled of fuch materials as were neceffary to the condi.
anion of an army. Subordination was not to be ex.
petted from them, for their Officers were fubordinate
to their Committees, and they were to be calhiered
for mere whim or caprice ; poffibly becaufe there
was fomething objectionable in the cut of their beard;
and in a corps of 6o or 70, which he knew, a 4 of
them threatened to withdraw if their Officer was not
turned out. What muff be the confequence if thofe
men were blended with the regular army and the
line Was there not every danger that they would
neceffarily ink& them with their principles, and de-
Rroy their difcipline by exciting a general fpirit of
debate and cabal, fubverfive of- all order. He next
adverted to the &fifteens into which military rank
would fall, from the multiplicity of Colonels and
Captains, and Commandants created. Every third
man he met in the Rents was a Captain, clad in the
fame garb, dignified with the faille title, and diain.
guilhed by the fame infignia, with the illußrious ye.
terans who rented their country in Egypt, who had
no dillindive marks but the honourable fears received
in the public caufe. He was, he laid, a Captain of
Volunteers himfelf, and, probably, might be a Co.
land fume time or other ; but he owned, that in the
room of one of the veterans who had grown grey in
the fervice, he felt OR as the trife of a fimple knight in
the fame company with a duchefs : both were ityled
" my Lady," sad the difference was only difeerna.
ble to thole who knew the true quality of the fupe-
rior. By this circumfiance, he laid, the eftimation
of military rank had already funk cent. per cent. and
the dignity which it was hitherto conceived to confer,
as fuppofed to be won by fuperior talents and !seri.
torions cervices, and therefore coveted—not for the
emoluments, which were often much inferior to thole
1 of an upper fervent, but for the honourable dißinc.
tion which conflitnted the cheap defence of nations
--was now degraded by the facility and frequency
1 in which it was to be acquired in the Volunteer
Corps. Mr. Windham went over many of his argu-
ments on former occafions, againft the uniform, the
difcipline. and the milappropriaticn of fervice, which
diltinguifired the Volunteers, and concluded with
raying! be thought it his duty not to pars the prefent
opportunity, without delivering his fentiments this
night, in addition to what he had declared before.
Mr. ERSKINE addreffed the Houle to this Aral :
" The means by which the country may be moll ef-
fectually defended at this momentous cafis. is one of
the moll important futojeds upon which this Houle
can debate, and therefore one upon which no Gen-
tleman can Rate his opinion without being attended
to. At the fame time, f &mild think it might occur
to a mind much lets enlightened than that of the Hon.
Gentleman, how far it is coofißent with prudence to
Rate that there are differences of opinion with regard
to the mode which has been adopted for our fecurity.
I apprehend, we appear here to take into confideratroo
how the fitlity of the country may be moi certainly

•
inrured; and not enter into vain and fplenetit eriticirm
on what is pelt. Does the Right Hon. Gentleman
mean to infult us, by telling us that the Volunteer
fyftem, whatever infirmities belong to it, and what-
ever dangers may attend it, is a fyftem we ought to
abandon, and that we ought at this moment to dd.-
' band the corps, and let about what he is pleafed to re-
commend? Would he, for fear of infulting the army
and confounding its ranks, leave them what they
would not thank him for, the privilege of fighting
the whole of the French force thernfelves? It would
he well if he would recoiled, that the whole of his
fpeech to-night, as well as his Ipeeches on former oc-
cafions, tend to encourage others to write what lie
fpeaks, and thus hold out an invitation to the enemy
to invade us."—[A violent cry of Hear! Hear!—Mr.
Windham rote to call the Hon. Gentleman to order.]
—Mr. ERSKINS continued—" I fay, what patfes in
this Houle, and from perfons of fuch high authority,
is calculated to invite the licence of the prefs to re-
peat what is laid ; and I have no difficulty in Rating,
that if any man was to put on paper, and print as his
original fentiments. what the Right Hon. Gentleman
has faid, he would be guilty of a mifdemeanour-
(Hear! hear !)—I apprehend that the man who
would difparage the whole military force of hiscoun.
try—who would confider it as in a Rate of the great-
en danger—and who would maintain that all we have
done for our country is only likely to involve us in
ruin, and is founded on a fyftem fo millaken in its
principles as to lead to defirudion rather than to
fafety—Such a man, I fay, is a fit °bled for anima&
verfion and cenfure. The firft matter I take
into confederation is this : we are to fee what the
fituation of the country was when war was declared
againft France. Our military force was not then fuf-
ficient to put the country in a Rate of fecurity : con-
fider the immenfe armies of France, the determina-
tion of the perfon at the head of the French Govern-
ment to ufe • ieaas for our deftrudion which never
were carried fo 'nearly into effect as thole that now
threaten the country. At the time when the war com-
menced it was neceffary, as we could not forefee whe-
ther the attempt would be made, that we fhould re-
ceive the voluntary offers of perfons coming forward
for the general defence. The Right Hon. Gentleman
lays he confiders this as an armed democracy. I can-
not conceive how it is an armed democracy, when it
confi ftsof all ranks of men, and Tome of the greaten and
moll opulent men in the country, all of whom receive
commiffions from the Crown. When compulfory
meafures are retorted to, the men may defert ; when
you take men by force into the- field, you cannot
have the fame reliance upon them as when their efforts
are fpontaneous and free. By the prefent fyßem, all
the influences of fociety are bound up together ; each
man i s asmnch pledged to his companion in arms as he
is to his King and Country ; each man feels he would
difhonour himfelf, if, after having volunteered his
fervices, he fhuuld depart from the faced pledge he
bad given. On the contrary, if led out by force, he
might fay, I gave no pledge. I was dragged to the
Randard ; but coming forward of his own accord, his
honour, character, and confiftency are intarefled, and
impel him to conduit himfelf in fuch a manner as
his pledge demands. With regard to the fituation of
Volunteer Corps, no man can fay that a fyftem which
extends to the whole population of the country is not
neceffarily attended with Come difficulty. No man
can fay, we are not in a choice of difficulties ; but
the queftion is this, and I feel myfelf much in unifon
with the Right Honourable Gentleman over the
way (Mr. Pitt) at leaft with a very fmall flsadow of
difference. The Right Honourable Gentleman is a
friend to the volunteer fytlem, and he has furnithed a
proof himfelf, and by his own example, that it is
not neceffary to do what he recommends. I under-
Rand he has acquired confiderabte military know-
ledge, and has concluded his corps to a high Rate
of perfection. I apprehend, it does not require
fo much military (kill for the inferior fitoarions of
the army as merry teem to imagine ; you muff have
perfons accuflomed to the forme and manwurres fo
as to be able to teach the duty of a foldier. You mon
take care in the choice of officers, not to appoint
thole who confider the diffindion as a matter of va-
nity, end not as a pledge of duty; but it does not
appear to me that it requires loch a degree of mai.
tary &ill in the lower orders of the army as to call
on Government to put itfelf to fuels an expense as is
propofed. It it fuppofed, that Peafentry, if armed,
would do all that is neceffary for the light infantry
fervice. Though I do not profits much knowledge
of a military life, having been at an early period
only in a fubaltern capacity, yet I do know you
cannot acquire and put in execution chore manmu-
vres which conflitote the excellency of light infan-
try, without being acquainted with the manoluvres
of the line. It is a fyllem by which you learn to
throw yourfelf into apparent irregularity, which !hall
be petite regularity. It is fuppofed the minutia; of
regularity is unnecelFary. I deny that there is any
thing the Volunteers are invited to do, for the pur-
port of being brigaded and formed, which is not
abfolutely effendi& in the praaice of war. I would
a& any Gentleman who is a foldier, whether it would
be poffible to lead a Corps into action. unlefs it was
able, with precifion and without confufion, to form
line into columns, to make it iticreafe or dimiaills,
change front, and alter the pofition in any way
which might be neceffary for Oital fervicel AU this
knowledge lies in a narrow compels, it is 'Oily
learnt by degrees, it may be taught by &ricotta,
and when it is taught, every thing mull depend on
the competency oldie perfop. I have no reafon to
think that the Volunteer Corps are not capable of
performing the moll citadel fervice, if they are kept
op with the refpea due to them, and if they are
treated with the regard to which their exertions en-
title them. I, for one, timid have no objection to
receiving. any Field Officer; but there is this diffi-
culty, it es faid, the Commanding Officer mould in-
vite the appointment of the Field Officer. Now it
ought to be confidered that he has no authority to do
fo, without fubmittiog the propofition to his men,
who have the choice of all the officers. If you in.
troduce a Field Officer, by the invitation ot. the Co-
lonel,without confulting the Corps, you break in up-
on the choice which the men on had. How-
ever, as there is no propofidon of- this fott, I forbear
commenting on it. We are here on the Volunteer
Syßem itfelf. The queftion is, Whether we are to
abandon it or limit it I Whether we are to ad.
mit, we are wrong;—and that all our efforts
have not benefited the Country ? With regard to
mother p6at, It dos* not fitiite ms that the psi.

litary profeffinn Vrill be it all injdred by thit Of-
-1 tem. The Officers of Volunteer Corps have no per •
manent rank ; thatigh they have the titles of Colo.
tiel, Lieutenant Colonel, Captain. and Lieotenani
they are merely to give refpea, and confer no rank.
1 I Ihould think, that lo far from there titles gi sing of.
fence to Gentlemen of the profeffion, the army melt
feel the greaten fatidadion at the idea, that iiillead
of not being well forported. intlead of having their
front to the enemy and difaffe.tion in their rear, they
are furrounded by the whole country, affording their.
every affillance they can require; for let me alh,
what would an army, brave as it is, cln, if oolutnns
of the enemy were to land in Devonlhire. Suffez,
Hampilire, and other counties at the fame ticie!
Could a regular army trop their prir,t efs without in-
finite mifchief ? Is it not then of ad%antage to have
the inhabitants of the country, not a low rab!:le, but
in all their gradations voluntarily armed in aid of
the army, their officers accepting their Commiffions
from the Crown, and much of this force aeting
without receiving any emolument whatever. I ant
ready to admit that great evils may attend this fyf.
tem, but while you have fuch an enemy, with inch a
population, with fuck arms, and with loch a deterrni.
nation to deftroy this country, it is the belt means of
defence that can be reforted to. The great objea of
the Volunteer fyllem is, that the men may acquire,
not the fame difcipline as the Regular Army, nut
the fame fleadinefs, not the fame experience, nut
the fame firmnefs, but at lean to the fpirit and
feeling of foldiers, that regularity acquired by
connartt habits of difcipline, which is nceeffary to .
enable them to give efficient fopport to the'army. If
we defired you to difcourage the army, and to look
to the Volunteer fyftem only, then I admit that many
of the arguments oppofed to the Volunteer fyftem
would be properly oppofed; but the quettion is, whe-
ther it is not a molt fortunate circumilance for the
country, that by a glorious and fpoutaneous effort 01;
the people coming forward as one man, and fubmit-
ting to every privation for the purple of giving that
protettion far which they have been appealed to ?
'the queftion is, whether it would have been prudent
in his Majelty's Government not to have received tha
offers of the Volunteer Corps, and whether they
would have been juftified had they not limited the
fyftem in the manner they have done? It would have
been dangerous to have accepted every offer, as it
would have prevented that force, fro, being fueplied,
which is indifpenfibly necefary; but wlth regard to thole
which have been accepted, I think t would be the
greatell calamity if the Volunteers were to relax their
diligence, and not do every thing to ancompliffi
themfelves for the important duties they have under.
taken to perform. I mall be glad to hear any proPofif
tion that will enable them more effedually toperform
it. However. what I rote principally for, was to Elate
to the Houfe, that I apprehend we are not here (.9
