ing the circundtance of the greaten and prouden
city in the world falling into the hands of the enemy
would be theft intolerable. 131 e attention of Govern-
ment Ilsoold therefore be direfted to two principal oh-
jefts: FirA, to increafe the regular army; and. fe-
condly, to promote the art of fortification as much
as potable. There could be no doubt of the great
fupctiority of regular troops over militia; and he
was furs there was no General Officer who would
not • prefer attacking an enemy with the one than
the other. The formation of new Regiments was a
very flow operation; and therefore he would en-
creafe the number of Regiments of the line as
much as potable, which could eddy be done by get-
ting men from the Militia, provided the Colonels of
the Militia .Regiments would forward the views of
Government in that refped. If the enemy but
once gut polfeffion of Loadon, they could encreak
their forces, and it would be a very difficult thing to
drive them out of the place. But it would not be
enough to incredo our regular farce. A great deal
more onghtto be done, audit would be alms& impious
to flop ann. unlefs every thing was done which pof-
ably could be done. Infinite advantages would arife
from the ere&ion of fortifications; and in ender to
carry them on, his Majefty ought to pads. if he
had not already, the power of carrying on works of
that kind, and of employing workmen. There were
numbers of workmen now employed in buildings
about Logsdon and other places. who. without doing
any great injury to thrift for wham they worked.
might be employed fcr theft put-poles with great ad-

vantage to the country. One great object of fortifi-
cations would be. to put all Naval and Military
Rations in the bell Rate of defence. Ile begged it to ,

with fuch fubjeßs, that there were no fecrets in war.
It might happen, indeed, that the night before a battle
the enemy thould not know how the lines were to be
formed ; but there was hardly a thing which they were
ignorant of. The French knew as well all the
tiry pofitions and ftrong places of this country, as
any Officer in it. When he himfelf was with the
Auftrian army is tysio. the Archduke Charles fent
him a parcel of papers which had been found in the
pocket of a French General. Thefe papers pointed
out exactly the mode in which the French columns
were to march, after having landed on the coal of
England. They were drawn up with fuch a degree
of exaßnefs, Ind with inch a knowledge of this coun-
try, that the writer mull have been fbr a long time

were alto done under the old Government of France.
He remembered,"before the late war, having, at a
Pruffan review, met General Culling, who was af-
terwards beheaded ; and that perfon had the impu-
dence to tell him, that he had travelled through
England for the purpofe of taking views of the coun-
try. Having lately paid a vifit to Dover Calle, on
demanding admiffion, being alked whether he was
an Engliffiman, and anfwering in the affirmative, he

He had been Rudying the military art for as yeas t
and he bad the telimony of the Marquis Cornwallis
and others to thew in favour of his merits as a mai.

might have a fair chance of being attended to. He
was confident, that if Government would adopt this
plan. the difficulty of landing troops in this country
would be very confiderably ioncated. The

larger, weals r and confequently be obliged to get
into large harbours. It this plan. therefore. could
be proved to be coned, it would be impiety not to
make the mod of the bleffings which Paovienoca bad
given us. Other fortifications might afterwards be
carried on from the Downs to Portfinonth ; and the
whole coal from Yarmouth to Partfinouth would be
to drengthened, that the enemy could not polibly
land on any part of it. The net point would relate
to the means of impedingthe progrefs of the enemy's
army. after it Should (Fed a landing. For this pup.
pore. it would be neeefary to throw (etnicircular
lines aerofs thole leading from the coal to the me-
tropolis, fo that we &odd prepare for ourfelves a mi-
litary communication from one line to another, and

of the enemy. Whatever line the enemy was ad-
. veining to might did' be crafted ; and we Should have
numerous advantages
.which they could tot have.
This would be of Inch eminence advantage. that the
plan ought immediately to be earned into execution ;
all the principal points ought to be fortified ; and the
enemy Should be deprive & of all the advantage of

,All this thould be done before the landing of the
enemy. It could not be dote afterwards. An ac-
curate plan might afterwards be taken of thole poSi-
tions, and it would be of infinite advantage in the
dindiou of the military operations of the country.
Every hedge which it might be proper to knock
down thould be marked out, fo that no heSitation or
delay might take place. &odd it be nnerary to give
a feope to the cavalry. The execution of this plan
&old be cottoned to the Gentlemen of the country,
who might employ the pioneers and other workmen,
and fee that it was properly done. All this would
materially Windt the perigees of the enemy to Lon-
don, and give a full opportunity to the great mats of
the people to come forward. in order to co-operate
with the army. Every thing that could be done
would then be done for the fafety of the Capital. If
this opinion of his came from a man in whom confi-
dence could be placed, he was fore it would be at-
tended to. A great national work oldie kind Gould

Lion of the Executive Government of the Country,
than for the Houfe of Commons. No practical good
cat arife from bringit'g loch a matter at prefeut be-
tore the Houfe; and indeed I think the Hon. Offic:r
has excluded himfelf from (hewing any ; having con-
felled that he had no charge of want of confidence in
the Executive Government.—lf there had really been
any charge againli it, the neceffity of this ledure
might have been fomewhat greater. Many able Of-
ficers have indeed thought it better to give their mi-
litary lectures to the Government, than to Parlia-
ment. The Hon. Gentleman has Paid, that he was ,
convinced that the Qcarter-Mafter General's Office
was greatly confuted in its arrangements, from the
multiplicity of other important details. That I
deny ; becaufe, although there is a great detail of
,:hufinefs, no confufion whatever take. place in that Of- 1
.'flee ; there being a great variety of officers appointed
.to carry on the correfpondence and the daily detail of
islifinefs ; sad others to attend to the particular ob-
kes to which be alludes. There is already a military
depot, or board, fuch as the Hon. Member has de-
fcribed. Has he not heard of Colonel Lindendorf, to
whom the country is much indebted ? and every man
Ault lament that he has been difahled by the events
of war. That Officer has put the whole of the mili-
tary fyßem on a footing which I hope will place this
-country in the moll approved (late of military de-
fence. I (hall only advert to a few of the points flat-
ea by the Hon. Gentleman. He noticed an expref-
fibn of mine ufed upon a former occafion, which he
feems rather to have mirconceived. He Pays, I Rated
that our military fyflem ought to be corrected only in
time of peace. I repeat it $ becaufe I think it really
is better to make any material alterations or improve-
ments in there particulars, when the country is in a
Rate of repofe. It is an old maxim, and I think a
very tree one, as to military improvements,

do not mean to fay, that if our (Otero of military
tonics is radically wrong, that we ought not, even in
time of war, to adopt tome meafure towards its im-
provement. I believ: that Parliament has already
laid the bafis of fuch improvements. There are many
able and judicious hands which, when joined to the
good fenfe of Government, may eflablith this country
upon fuch a footing as to be proof againfl all alarm.
I do not objea t.i the propriety of what the Hon.
Gentleman has raid ; I only doubt the prallicability
of the plan at this moment. There may be oecafions,
and there may be times in which the adoption of loch
plans may be necefary; but I am far from being-tn.
clined to be raft. I am for trying the Militia, the
regular army, and the other plans now fet on foot
for the defence of the country. As to the regular
alloy, the Honourable Gentleman has Paid, that the
power given in the Bill is not fulficient for an ade-
qirate increafe; and has mentioned that many regi.
meats are exceedingly weak. I am allonifhed that
he has sot adverted more particularly to the Bill;
for every encouragement is there held out to fill up
all the deficiencies in the regular regiments, from the
=
de-referve. His Royal Ilighnefs, the Com-
er in Chief. has lately given orders, that ix
regiments of the line, which are particularly deficient
as to their complement of men, fliould be appointed
for the purport of receiving recruits from the Army
of Referee; as alto that a third battalion fhould be
added to each of theft regiments. There have been
fevers' regiments alto appointed in Ireland, for the
purport of receiving men Out of the s chooo to be
raifed in that country, in order that the great mats
of the men may be thrown into the oldeß regiments.
It would be the height of imprudence to diftribute
tbek men equally among all the regiments, both
thong and weak; I am far from thinking nayfelf fo
completely wafter of the fulajoß as to follow the Hon.
Gentleman through the whole of his fpeech; but I
seas anxious that Inch a fpeech &add not go abroad
into the world. without fomething beipg Paid in an-
(wee to it. The public would be apt to believe that
there wai a great deficiency in exertion on the part of
Government ; that there was no regular fyflem of
niDitary defence l and that the miff able and &illsl
officers had not been cortulted. The Hon. Member
has not, however, gone to Inch a length as openly to
Mil fault with the conduit of Government. He has
poly Paid that he is not fatisfied. may. add. that I
sin not fatisfted either; but 1 would not wins that the
public Iboold be Inspreffed with fare ideas. The
Heneoprable Member is, however, lets fatis6ed with
nor military preparations than I em; but be this as
it may. I really believe that the enemy will be com-
pletely difatisfied with them when they save attemp-
ted to land."
Mr. Purr begged the ind.dgence of the Houle
while be offered a few obfervations on the llatements
which the Hon. and Gallant Officer had introduced.
He had no difficulty in raying, that with the greater
part of the plans which be had fuggeßed, he mod cor-
dially concurred. He waked it, however. to be dif.
underilood, that theft plans were not for the
Lill time introduced. Though during the late war the
danger of invafion had never prefented itfelf in fo for-
midable a fhape, though the enemy had for fo long a
period an opportunity of looking folely to this (+ice,
without being at all difiraeled bycontinental hollility,
yet a moll valuable body of information relative to the
moll effeenal means of defending she empire againfl
invafion had, during tl:e late war, been collated.—
That information, be was proud to perceive, had been
inerealing from year to year, and he crafted that it
would now increafe from month to month. and from
hour to hour. During the late war, the danger was

Humber. His Majefly's former fervaott,he begged
leave to remind the Hon. and Gallant Officer, were
not at all inattentive to thefe objects. On the con-
trary, they were the fubjeas of the graven confide-
ration and the mon accurate pravilion. The Houfe
could not recollect who were the Officers to whoa
the command in various di ftritts was affigned,without
perceiving that ih fuch hands it was utterly imponible
that the belt means of providing for the national fe-
curity fhould not have been *Attired and arranged.
If it were recolletted that in the northern part of the
Ifland the country enjoyed the advantage of the ta-
lents and experience of Sir Charles Grey—that in the
fouthern diltrit the Duke of Richmond fuperintended,
of whole information and (kill on this fubjel, what-
ever opinion might be entertained of his fentirnents
on other fubjeCts, there could exin only one knti-
ment ; that General Dundas bad opportunities of
being prefent at the infpcaion of the (fate of the
preparations in all different pans of the country)
that an Officer, of whole merits he declined from
perfonal conlideration to exprefs what his feelings
fuggened, had leen and arranged the plan of defence
againn invafion in Scotland. If all this was con-
fidered, he was lure that the Hon. and Gallant Offi-
cer would not now come forward and tell the Houle
that now, for the firft time, plans of national defence
were produced, that now, for the fire time, this great
and intere fling fubjea had attrated the attention, and
employed the cares of Governmcat. He was ready to
admit that material improvements might be engraft-
ed on the original plans of national fecurity. He
trolled that they would experience new improvements
from day to day, that the fyttem would from day to
day receive new form and confiftency, that it would
not flop (port of that efficient fcheme of national fafety
which would for ever let to reft all the vaunts and
threats of a foe whole ambition knew no limits, and

ing objea—when he confidered what had been effea-
cd even in the prefent feffion combined with the
seal and exertions of the illultrious Commander in
Chief, he had the molt linguine expeaations that our
fyitem of national defence would at no very remote
period be completed. Already had the foundation of
inftruaion been laid ; that the hiher ranks in our
army bad direaed their attestion ferioufly to the Cub-
JcU that their [needs bad been equal to the warnieft
hopes which could have been entertained. The randy
of a few months had made many officers proficients
in all the more difficnit details of warfare; and the
Jets of this knowledge had been contemplated on
the (bores of Egypt, that field of Britith glory. Poe
feted of the foundation of inftruaion, we had the
means of its pooh general diffuflon. We had the
grounds of its molt general application. We had an
army greater than we potted in any former war ;
we had augmented it,by a new and extraordinary le-
vy ; we had to add to it the great macs of the artned
population of the country. With all thefe varied means
of protection, properly organized and effeaually,
even the Hon. and Gallant Officer himfelf, who had
'hewn hinsfelf the moll cautions and the molt anxious
for the fafety of the country, was ready to allow that
we &mild be abfolutely fafe. He agreed with the
Hen. and Gallant Officer, that we ought not for .a
moment to relax our exertions. We had to maintain
a great and arduous ftruggle, but if we fupported it
with adequate energy and (pink, it would terminate
in glory to this Country, anctlhaine and difappoint.
meta to the enemy. He took occafion particularly
to allude to what had been thrown out about the fil-
ling up the regular regiments by draughts from the
Militia. He thought that this was a very ungracious
meafure, and one to which at the prefent Moment
it would be highly inetpedient to retort. The pri-
vates in the Militia, no doubt, feel in common with
their countrymen, the value f the Cured objets fur
which they were to contend, and were anxious to
have an opportunity of (hewing that they would give
place to no troops in the ferries of his Majefty in the
ardour of their devotion to their Country. To call
in the Militia Officers to atilt in breaking up thole
Corps whole dittipline they had, by their affiduity
and zeal, completed, would be to injure their fend.
ments as men, and to wound their fleliags as foldiers.
They, no doubt, hoped, as the reward of their la-
bours, to lead into the field a body of brave men
ready to facrifice their lives in punilbing the temerity
of an ambitious and unprincipled foe. He fhould thore-
fore refill nn y attempt to ditolve the prefent eftablilh.
ment of the Militia. We had already made provilion
for the fupply of the regular army, and it would be
highly impolitic to refort to a medium of the nature
to which he had referred. At the prefent moment
generous emulation flould be encouraged. but any
thing like rivallhip founded in conEderations of
jesloufy, could not fail to be highly pernicious.—
The Right Hon. Gentleman dmod, that he felt
extremely happy at feeing that bon and ardent fpi-
rit of loyalty and of patrtotifm which was now evi-
dently pervading every rank of fociety throughout
the kingdom. It was firft lit np in the North, from
thence it was feat tai kladle inthe capital, and it was
now 'etching from town to town, from village to
village:and to every hamlet within the idea, and he
had every reafon to hope that it would in a hart time
manifett itfclf in one tiniverfal blaze throughout the
empire in fuch brightnek of fplendoar as would not
only dank apd delay the proud afurper and make
him flake upon his throne, but that would alto be the
admiration and the wonder of all furrotinding nations.
Yet, much as he approved of the condo& and patrio.
tiles of the Militia in general, and of the public at
large for the difpofition which they had manifefled
on the prafent occefion, he hill thought it would be
advileaile that two or three Officers Wald be taken
five the half pay, and added to every one Officer
that Oiould be appointed for the new levies by virtue
of other orders ; by that means we would be enabled
to Orin fore and a large. Jolliet, and trtaable force,

tunities of acquiring a knowledge of the powers, the
praCtice, and the ideas of the enemy, and who had
alto fuch frequent opportunities of hearing tile opi-
nions of the first military men on other parts of the
Continent. With refpetft to the.propiiety of our hay-
ing field fortifications, he however could not fee it to i
the extent which had been mentioned by the Hon.
Gentleman; but in that particular he confened that
he was not as capable of judging of the propriety of •
military plans as the Hon. Gentleman was of defign-
ing them. And as to the fituation of our naval arfe-
nals, he imagined that no perfon could, in any the
(lighten degree, miaake the Hon. Gentleman, at leaft
in fuch a manner as to fuppofe that, when he fpoke of
the means of their defence, he meant to convey an idea
that they were totally defencelefs, and that they re-
quiredhmething like the plan which he had foggefted
to snake them capable of making any Rand at all
againft an enemy. No ; he conceived that the Hon.
Gentleman mull mean to warn us, left we fhould be
led away by a groundiefs hope, by a falfe idea of ho-
nour ; not that we (hould be parfimonious, and avoid
building fortifications on account of the expence, for
no man could be fo filly as to hippo& that Govern-
ment would for a moment lietitate atantit the cull in an
()Ned of fuch great,fuch national importance,but that
we fhould not be lavifh of the blood of Englifh-
men ; that we ffictuld not wage the bravery and the
lives of our countrymen, in a manner that would be
avoided by a little previous trouble and expence.—

derftood. He had faid that fume parts of our cosine
were more convenient or more affailable than others,
and exprelfed a with that the former fhould be de-
fended by fortification; bat it molt certainly could
never be the opinion of the Honourable Gentleman
that we were to fortify an extent of fifty miles of coall
without any intervention; no, the Hon. Gentleman
knew there were many points, many diltances of our
coat that were for miles together fortified by na-
ture in fuch a manner as to preclude the neceffity
of any artificial fortification whatever. But there were
many points at which we might at a very fmallexpetsce
very confiderably improve the ftrcngth of our fron-
tier. There were two objefts to be taken into eon-
ftderation in attending to the obferrations of the Hon.
Gentleman ; the one was, that we might collet% our
forces in fuch a compiaft manner as almon to enfure
the fafety of particular places; the other was, that
we fisould not fritter them away by fpruding them
too wide, or in detached bodies, without forma a
proper train of connezion to draw them
at any moment of alarm or danger. To the tter
part of the Hon. Gentleman's Tpeech, he muft
ferve, that while the people of England Co honoura-
bly and fo bravely deice to (pare themfelves, he troll-
ed the Government of the country or the Legitiature
would never be found deficient an what was their
duty, but that they :vould let the people be convinced
that it was the with, that it was the molt anxious
defire of their fuperiors to (pare them, by exerting
every power which their lunation intrefted them with,
in avoiding the wanton wane of the bravery of their
countrymen, or an y random or unavoidable efufion
of their blood. He trailed that the means which
had beta entrufted to the hands ofGovertment would
be employed to the bell palpate poffibk for the de-
fence of the nation and the honour and dignity of his
Majefty's Crown. But fill be waited to fee things
in the plaice!! point of view; be winsed to fee the
affairs of the country in filch a fituation that no man
could poffibly be fo blind or fo peeved, as to fay
that be did not fee them to a demonfiration, is the
fame manner as he might fee a propofitios in the
mathematics when it was explained to him, Wes,
indeed, be were to fay. 44 I walloot fee thelatter, be-
caufe I have not learned it," or 44 I will not fee the
former, beeaufe I am not a prole anal man." He
then relied on the (pignuts courage and in the
feelings of Englithmen, that they would not loeln
to brook the that they could not forbear a mo-
ment from refenting the affront which would be given
them by a body of Frenchmen even having it to fay
that they had come here to fight us for our country.
(Heir, hear, /marl) Some people, be naderhood,
bad endeavoured to calculate upon the pedirolity or
the amount of the chances there were gala* their
hazarding or even fucceediug in filch o.enterprife,
at lean fo far as to ace a landing on ear bores;
this, he thought, was beyond all powers of Wade•
tion, for there were certain alike' of furl a nature
that, according to the Laws of war, were deemed Co
isnporible that every General who attempted them
was liable to be broke throughout &epera! part
of Europe, and therefore be did not atm* thins and

his Royal Atfent ? When the Right Hun. Secretary
made a reference to our ancellors, he fhould have re-
colleded that it was not in their power to call out a
force of 400,000 men, as we did now, as one chtls of
an additional force ; he fhould confider all, that the
circumilances in which they were placed did not re-
quire fuch exertions ; the means of the enemy, the
power of all furrounding nations was then In limited.
and the mode of warfare Will fo different, that a perfon
might as well fay," Let us look athvhat wasthe practice
of our ancellors; we will then '..ee that our bows and Ar-
rows fhould he our only weapons,our corselets and out
helmets Ihouli be our only means of defence, and that
we fhould not iafult the people of England by giving '
them artillery. with which they might more power- i
fully Annoy the enemy, or by fortifying Portfmouth
or Plymouth as a means of defence." In the hillory
of Ireland it would be found that fortifications were •
much more numerous in former times than thole now
propofed by the Hon. Gentleman for this country.
Under all the eircumflances of the prefent times, he
would therefore fay that fomething of that bolt ought
to be done. He did not mean to fay that we were to
endeavour to creed fortifications as if they were the mo-
dels of fame great mallets ; neither did he think we
required it. A vet army could not fit down regularly
before it, to beflege it with artillery, a ith bombs, and
all the implements of war,land with a large covering
army to prated it, as it was before Lille or Tournay.
We had an illußrious fovereign, whole memory the
prefent fittiation of our affairs brought to his recol-
ledion—he meant Qeen Elizabeth, and he called
her illuftrious, as being particularly In by her grs'at

her aufpices ; a Spanilb fleet had been fitted our, ex• ,
prefsly for the deftrudion a- England, and was called

made them ever fine give over any hope of rowers

net he bad every reafon to hope, that, if an invinei.

a iimilar purport of defiruaion, the valour pf our
conntrymen, when aided by the execution of the plan
now propofed (though he hsid no doubt of their Inc. t
cefs at any rate) would almolt immediately repel
them, fcattered, confounded, and dirmayed to their
own ihores--that is, the few that might by chance •
have the good fortune to drape from more rummary '

and arrogant Chief of the coofulion they had met
with. and the bounds which had thereby been fit to •
