forpenfion of the Habeas Cornets A&. The atlonifk.
anent and indignation which he felt on learning theft
ft efb indances of Jamb y were greater than he could
detei ibe. But he had the fulleß reliance rut the firm-
net's, the patriotifm, and courage, of a large portion
of the people of Ireland, and he entertained no doubt
but that thole atrocious Wretches who dillurbed the
public tranquillity would be defeated in All their
Schemes—would meet with ruin and difgrate. Be-
fore he fit down, there was one point on which he
would take the liberty of throwing out a fuggetlion
to his Majelly's Minihers. On a former ace:llion he
had obferved, that there Should be no dillinetion be-
tween the Militia of England and the Militia of Ire-
land, and that a (mall fea Should not prevent the
Militia of or country from palling into another
country. If awes proper at that time to adopt his
recommendation, how parch snore fo mutt it be now,
for reafons which he would explain to the Honfe.—
There were about t 8,000 militia foldiers in Ireland at
this time. With regard to the courage and the loyalty
of thofe men, he entertained no kind of doubt what-
ever. But he mull afore their Lordtbips, and he
(poke from plain knowledge and experience, that
every art would be ufed, as had been ufed hitherto,
to withdraw them from their duty and allegiance ;
and from the clofe eonnetlion that stilted between
lbem aid tkore people who might be in a ante of re-
bellion—from the fuperflitious attachment they ge.
serail? had for each other, and the influence which
their oriels had over them—it was impoffible to fay
bow far their loyalty might be Shaken. He mull,
therefore, again Strongly recommend it to his Majef-
ty'► Minillers, to remove the Militia Regiments from
Ireland to Great Britain, not by any compulfory law,
his by giving them an opportunity of volunteering
their Cervices, and when they came to this counfty
they would be found as powerful and efficacious
troops as any in his Majelly's (ervice. He hoped he
Should be enured for throwing out this hint, but he
did it from a real oonviAion that it would be highly
beneficial in the prefent hate of the country.—The A
diets to hisMajelly was then moved end earriederm. con.

Lord 'HOBART moved, that his Majeßy's Melfage,
relative to granting a provifion to the Prince of
Orange, be read. His Lordlitip then moved an Ad-
anis to his Majefty, alluring his Maje Sty that the
Moufe would cheerfully concur in any meafure that
would promote the objea of the Mell'age
Lord Heattow sr expelled hisfurprife that the Noble
Lord had not explained the grounds of this motion.
Lord Hoaaar replied, that explanation was un•
neceffary, until the Houle Should have before it the
meafure itfelf, for granting a provifion to the illußri-
oss Prince in queftion.—The Addrefs was agreed to.
The Hoare, then, on the motion of the Loan
OSANCILLOII., adjourned until eight o'clock.

MARTIAL LAW.
DEEHENEM aim and ten &clock, the CHANCELLOR of
the Recasoyea, accompanied by feveral Membees
she Commons, brought up t*o Bills, one for try-
ing rebels by Martial Law ha Ireland, And the other
for furpending the Habeas Corpus Aftin Xreland.—
They were both read a firft time.
On the motion of Lord HOZAIT, the Proc.lama.
tine Weed by the Lord Lieutenant and Council of
Ireland, as the aoth, was read, and ordered to lie
on the table.
Lord Holiest then raid, that as it would be ne-
=Cary to pals the two Bills on that night, there muft
be a furpeollon of the (landing ordere of the Houfe,
which prevented the seeding of any Mt, more than
once on the fine day. He moved, " That as it was'
aieelfary for the public fafety thefe Bills should be
paired with the atmoft difpatch, the Houk &mad
forthwith proceedto read them in their feveral pages,
notwithilaoding any (landing orders of the Hook."
the Lose CHANCELLOR ("aid, the Houk had tome.
them, in cafes of great emergency, broken through
their.ftandbm orders. They had done fo at the time
of the mutiny at the Nore, when a Bill of the turnoff
neetaty was read through all its Rages is one day.'
But although this he* fometintes been dune, the
Honk ought to come to Come regulation with regard'
to its (landing orders, and endeavour to avoid 'the
inerinveoience of breaking through thole rules by
which its proceedings had been regulated. As Speaker
of that Houk he was bound to adhere to its orders:
and if he Mould now, in opfoolition to an exprefs or.
der on their Journals, put the Tuition for reading a
Bat more than once, he hoped the Houfe would re-
lieve him from the refponfibility he mull incur by
doing fo ; particularly when he did it by the order of
the Honk. He wafted their Lordfhips would on Tome
future occaflon come to a determination relative to
the Banding orders. His Lordfbip then entered into
the merits of the Bill before the Houk c and fully
concurred in the featiments of the Noble Lord who
was Reprefentative for Ireland, as to the propriety of
extending martial law only to thole who were pro.
petty the objets of it and with regard to furpend
trig the Habeas Corpus. At, he eonfidered it an at
ot mercy intlead of an at of feverity towards thok
perfons who might fall under the operation of that
law. For by removing them at once, and detaining
them in cuftody, they might Is: prevented from corn
mitring afts for which their lives might have been
forfeited. His Lordllip then lamented the nnhappy
Rate of Ireland, and congiatulated the Houfe and
the Country, on the extirpation from Great Britain
of thofe pernicious principles, wi'h which a great
portion of the people were once in danger of being-
infelted, and on the fpirit of pattiotifin with which
the whole natteal now teemed to be roufed; a fpirit
that he w.v. confident would carry us fairly through
the great Ring le we were engaged in : and if un
fortunately we ihnuld fail in that liruggle, we (hould
perith with the confolatoryretleelion that we had done
our duty to ourfclves, our King. and our Country.
The Earl of Ross Lys made fame obfervations on
the Banding orders, which he did not conlder to be
of a nature fo obligatory as to preclude the Houfe
from breaking through them on fuch an occation as
that any refpon.
