PARLIAMENTARY HISTORY. March 13. AJOR-General Rofs prefaced his motion refpecting the ftate of the army with a variety of military obfervations, fome ferious and others ludicrous, in which he pointed out grievances which at prefent exift, and which ought to be remedied, particularly in the matter of brevets, by which fuperior officers were liable to the mortification of having their inferiors put over their heads; and then moved, "That there be laid before the Houfe lift of all the officers of the lately established American corps, fpecifying the military commiffions they refpectively held, previous to their having been appointed to thofe corps; as likewife copies of the ftipulation under which thofe American corps were originally formed." MAJOR-General Rofs prefaced his General Conway faid, that the fervices of the five corps lately put on the British establishment were fuch as fairly entitled them to every mark of diftinction. Col. Dalrymple's had di, ftinguished itself very much in the expeditions fent out from Jamaica; but more particularly at Fort Omoa. Col. Duncan's corps had fignalized itself greatly at the fecond battle of Cainden under Lord Rawdon. The regiments under Fenning, Simcoe, and Tarleton were above his praife; and the glory of their achievements was univerfally known and acknowledged. Some, perhaps, were not willing to have their rank established. He thought, how ever, that they merited this distinction; but, if the Houfe wifhed to ground a LOND. MAG. Aug. 1783 proceeding on the motion, he would not object to it, but meet enquiry with confidence. The Secretary at War concurred in opinion with the Commander in Chief; and particularly wished to know the precife object of the motion, for at prefent fome part of it was not thoroughly intelligible to him. General Rofs declared that his motion had no other object in view but the reformation of abuses: and all he wanted to get at was information refpecting thofe abufes. If errors fhould have been committed in the course of a long and ruinous war they fhould be noticed, in order to avoid them for the future. His object was not particular but general; not perfonal and invidious, but difinterested and generous. Sir Philip Jennings Clerke thought Col. M'Cormick's and Col. Keating's regiments, that had been fent to the Eaft-Indies, had a claim to the fame favour; and Gen. Smith was alfo of opinion that the two regiments fent to the Eaft-Indies were entitled to an equal establishment with the provincial corps. Mr. Burke obferved that the favour fhewn to the provincial corps had excited fome jealoufies and alarms in the army; and he wifhed, out of respect to it, to let the matter undergo a thorough examination. If the measures refpecting the eftablishment of those new regiments were approved of by the Houfe, let it be feen that the approbation takes place in consequence of enquiry. N A flight A flight amendment having been propofed by the Secretary at War, the motion was at length agreed to. March 14. Mr. Alderman Sawbridge moved for leave to bring up a petition from the deputies of the pa tent officers, and others, in the Customs, whofe patents and places were to be abolifhed, if a bill then before the Houfe were to pafs into a law. This bill, he faid, profeffed to be a bill for diminishing the influence of the crown; but, in his opinion, it would be found to operate directly contrary to this avowed object, by abfolutely extending that influence. Mr. Burke feconded the motion; and the petition was ordered to lie on the table till the fecond reading of the bill. By way of fupplement to General Rofs's motion, Sir Cecil Wray moved for copies of all letters or orders from the Secretary at War, Commander in Chief, or any other of his Majesty's minifters, promifing half pay to the officers of corps raifed in America. General Smith feconded the motion; and the Commander in Chief affenting to it, it paffed without a debate. The principal fubject of debate on the 17th and 18th of March was the American trade bill. Mr. Pitt ob ferved, that the outlines of it had been communicated to the commiffioners at Paris, and they were highly gratified with it, and admired the generofity of this country. Lord Sheffield was greatly diffatisfied with the claufe, which gives an open trade between the United Provinces and our Weft-India islands. He was apprehenfive that it was an illjadged piece of generofity; and that our own trade with those islands would be effentially injured by it. "I withed, faid he, to have ftopped with the first claufe which opens our ports to and from America. We fhall have tranfports and feamen in plenty unemployed, to carry our manufactures to America and the Weft-Indies, and bring from thofe countries what we want. It will be time enough to give America her peculiar advantages, when we have an opportunity of treating with her for advantages in return. In the mean time, fo far from giving any part of the carrying trade, fhould exert ourselves to prevent i unemployed feamen from paffing o. to the Americans." The claufe, however, paffed; 2: the bill was ordered to be reprinted. On the 20th, the fame bill was agai taken into confideration. Some ob jected to particular clauses, and other to its general principle. Mr. Pitt obferved, that fome bil: was neceffary, and that he could not think of a better: but that he would give himself no further trouble about it, as it had met with such delays and oppofitions. Mr. Burke urged the going forward with it without delay: but Mr. Eden thought delay was preferable to the enacting an ill-digested law. The further confideration of it was adjourned till the Monday. The delay attending the formation of a new adminiftration caufed various fpeculations and conjectures in the minds of the people at large, and became at length a fubject of warm and interefting debate in the lower House. It was attributed to various caufes, as fancy or prejudice prevailed. Some imagined that his Majefty was averfe to the much talked of coalition, and fearful of admitting into his councils men who had fo long been at enmity with each other, and whofe political principles, according to their own declarations, were at the greatest variance poffible. Others thought that the members. of the coalition had not agreed among themselves on the terms of union, nor finally adjusted the balance of power; that the way had not been fufficiently cleared to admit of an amicable alliance, nor fo guarded as to prevent mutual jealoufies of encroachment on each other's prerogatives. With fuppofitions fuch as thefe people amufed or perplexed their fancies: nor were there wanting fome, who pofitively alerted that the delay in forming an admini ftration arofe wholly from the impotli bility of getting perfons to accept of its offices; and that even royal follicitation became ineffectual, when the view of our public fituation rendered it 這いの fome appentas the prer prerogative ever, he thought ought to and that the ance it might by the neceffr gotiations are a confation reze Atration is the Dostum.
