Mr. Barawall laid claim to the Kingsland Pcerage. Witnesses
were examined.
A• 3lesmge from the Commons wag delivered, requesting a
conference with their Lordships, in the Painted Chamber, in
consequence of which Lords Aylesford, Liverpool, Muastietd,
Lauderdale, Manchester, Harrow by, the Bishop of Chichester,
and the Bishop of Kildlee, proceedita.ra deputation froniiheir
Lordships to hold the said conference. On their. return, which
occurred soon after, the Earl of Aylesford read the Report of
the conference, by which it appeared. that the Commons dii
not agree to an 'Ameodownt in the Nottingham Frame Brea king
Bill, made by their Lordships, respecting finis and imprison.

After the Report had been again read, by the Clerk at the
table, it was ordered to be taken into Consideration to-morrow.
The Expiring Laws Bill, the Masts and Naval Timber Bill,
and the Lottery Bill were brought up from 'the Commons and
read the first time.
•On the second reading of the (:spar Fife Gaol Bill, Counsel
was heard at.the bar, on a Petition against it.
The IA/111) CHANCELLOR suggested the propriety of.
postponing the Bill till their Lordships had takea Into consider-
at imi th.. allegations of the Petition.
Toe Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to a Com-
mitice of the whole House to.morrow.
Mr. ftichrnood presented some accounts respecting Imports,
and the form of Licences.—Ordered to lie on the table.
The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage.—Adjourned.

A Person from the Office of the Inspector General of Imports
and Exports presented an Account of the quantity, of Spirits im-
ported from flatland and Flanders in the years 11110 and 1811.—
Ordered to lie on the table.
Sir A. PIGGOTT obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the re-
lief of Infant Suitors in the Courts of Equity, who may be en-
titled to Stock and Annuities in the Public or other Fonds,
transferrable to the Bank of England. The lion. Member then
brought up the Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to
be read a seconl time to-inorrose.
A Message from the Lords announced their Lordships assent
to the Wm), Lane Theatre Bill, with several Ameodateats, to
which they desired the concurrence of this House.
Lord WALPOLE appeared at the Bar, and stated that the
House ofPeers having agreed to the conference desired by thin
House, were waiting in the Painted Chamber.
At the desire of the Speaker, Lord Walpole, Mr. Ryder, Mr.
C. Wynne, and other Members. timeeeded to the conference.
Oa their return, Lord WALPOLE stated, that they had com-

SINECURE PLACEN.
Mr. BA NKES did not think it necessary to trou-
ble the House, on the present occasion, with obser-
vations of any sort of length upon this subject. The
Bill which he was about to bring in (if he should ob-
tain leave to do so), was of the same nature as that
which passed this House the Session before last: but
which was thrown out in the Lords; he now pro-
posed it in a way that-would be less liable to meet
obstruction there. He therefore moved,
" That leave be gives to bring in a Bill, to make Provisions,
for n limited time, respecting certain Grants of Offices."
The Motion was agreed to, The Hon. Gentle-

pleased that it should ever have been thought
Adele to introduce into this country 16,000 Fo-
eigo Troops, and it was not, therefore, to be ex-
pected that he _could be indifferent to the possibility
of that number being increased to 30,000. These
corps contained cavalry, infantry, and artillery,_
They bad a Staff of their own, and were in them.
selvss a tomplate army. The Act of the 3Gth of
the King, did not go to justify the employing of
Fornigh Officers, except as Officers of Foreign
Corps; and did not admit them to any superior,
rank. above that of Officers serving witli such Corps.
There was another thing whiehhe was sure it did not
justify, namely, the appointeient of German Gene.
His to British regiments. This surely amid not be
tendered necessary., on the ground that Officers ought
to be acquainted with the language and mauners of
their soldiers. He should mention one instance of
ihit kind, though he did not say it consisted with his
own knowledge—he meant one Baron Linsingen,
who was or had been General of the Eastern District.
This was not the only instance; there were two or 1
three others, both in this comstry, and in Ireland.—
;Such appointments, he contended, were contrary to
the Common Law and to the Act of Settlement.—
The Noble Lord,to thew the peculiar jealousy with
Which the introduction of foreign Officers into our ser.. 1
'vice had been regarded west into a history of the .:
progress of the 60th Itiimeat. By the Act of the
29th of George H. Fo 'gm Officers, •who were Pro-'
testants, were permitted to serve In that Regiment,l
for the protection of the States of Maryland and I
Pennsylvania. This, however, a was to be observed, ;
was for the protection of America, and not of our-own
country. The number of Officers so employed,, too, ;
was !hulled to fifty; the Eagiaeers were limited-tol
twenty in number; and it was expressly provided,
that the Corps should be, commanded by a natural-
born subject. By the Act of the 39th and 40th of
the King, the limitations akto the number of the 6f-::
(leers, and the restriction as to religion, were taken,
off; but still it was declared, that the Regiment should
serve only in America. The House would be sur-
prised however to be informed that it appeared,
from the Army List, that an Officer belonging to
this 60th regiment was on the Staff of'our Army
serving in Sussex, in the very teeth of this regulation,'
that they should not serve out of America. The
next subject to which he begged to call the attention
of the House, was the practice of admitting foreign-
ers into our own native corps. Not above 10 or 12.
years ago, a young man, a foreigner, who was re-
commended as deserving of promotion in our Army,
was refused, cuithe express ground that he was unfit,
as being a foreigner. This feeling, however, was
now completely done away, and it was no uncom-
mon thing to see Gentlemen promoted from the Ger-
man Legion into the 10th Hussars. It surely could
not be necessary to introduce such Officers into our
own Army, on the ground of .their being better ac-
quainted either with their manners or language. He
thought, however, that there was a great deal too
much of these attempts to Germanise our troops.—
We were not now to have German Officers merely,
but German soldiers. Ha was informed that a num-
ber of deserters had lately been liberated from prison,
and entered into the 10th regiment of Hussars, con-
buy toedl our ancient feelings on such a subject.—
While this was done, however, and while Minis-
ters Were willing to receive foreigners into that
regiment, he understood that a resolution had
been come to, not to admit into it any Irishman.
If this was so, he must be allowed to say, that it
was highly wrong. A Proclamation had been issued
by the Magistrates in the neighbonrhand of Notting-
ham, by which soldiers were authorised, in certain
events, to act without calling in the Civil power.' lit
the 10th 'Hussars had been quartered in that neigh-
bourhood, however, would not the entrusting such
a power to foreigners have been dangerous. ft had
been held, as he understood, by Lord Mansfield,
and more recently by the Chief Justiceof the Court
of Common Pleas, that the character of Citizen did
not merge in that.of Soldier. He was afraid, how-
ever, if foreigners were to be admitted into oar na-
tive regiments, little- protection would be found' ?n
this relation of Citizenship. There had recently
been some trials on the other side of the water, for
the crime of desertion from our service, and entering
into that of the enemy. Great as he esteemed this'
crime to be, and highly as it was deserving of pu-
nishnient, his Lordship thought it had rather an'
awkward appearance that we should endeavour our-,
selves to seduce foreigners to be guilty of a similar
offence.—There was one other thing to which he'
begged leave also to advert, and that was the appoint-
meat of a foreigner, an alien, to be one of the
Commissioners for managing his Majesty's private
property. No foreigner could hold property, in this
country, and his Lordship thought it strange that he
should be able to do for another what he could not
do for himself. He objected both to the creating of :
. thjs German regiment, and of this German fund, of
Mink Parliament wantoknow nothing; lie con.;

anopectable, but the motion had no reference to indiz.
rvidial character, and Its principle was, in his opi-
,Okisp.alisuanety salutary. It had been a distinction

l** unknown in it; and it was therefore most im..
itorlant and desirable that this character should-be
'carefillly maintained. and not endangered by lessen-

'Sir JOHN NEWPORT read the Preamble of the
„Act quoted by the Noble Lord ivito spoke last, and
.chewed that word •4' therein " limited the admission
of foreigners into mir military service, to foreign
corps.'. The Noble Lord had, therefore, put au ult.

•who still thought the best way of supporting the
public interest in times of difficulty, was by observ.

It had been the pride and glory of Lord Chatham
that he found an army full of foreigners, and di.
missed them all, and it was acknowledged that by so
doing, he greatly raised. the spirit and hopes of the
country.
