ge reau, Soult, and even Bonaparte himself, and drive the whole world , before' them. But at present the Irish were kept in a state of bondage by an odious s ystem of bigotry and intolerance : and if that was ct n enued, the country Would be lost to us. Lord JOCELYN expressed his apprehension that Catholic Emancipation would not produce the effects expecte,' by the Gentlemen opposite. He attributed the c alamities of Ireland principally to the number of its e bsent• es, which,. he contended, was not effected :newly by Lie Union ; as previous to that period the enestion of a tax upon absentees was discussed in the fir.v.! of Commons of Ireland, a circumstance which r reved that the evil had long been felt. As to. the propriety of granting the measure at present, he felt it se absolutely necessary that a Veto should be ad mitted, that until he. saw a petition founded on that admission, he should feel it his duty to resist any mo tion to such an effect. Mr. BANK.ES reminded the Noble Lord of the place .n which he stood, when he denied that the Uilion was the cause of the absentees. Whatever the Lumber ef the Catholics were, whether great °email, if their claims were just they should be acceded to ; if unfust, no consideration of numbers should influence the House to grant them. He affirmed that the Ca tholics of Ireland enjoyed complete toleration, and dwelt upon the necessity that existed of observing the distinction between full toleration and political power. Though favourable to their claims, he was fearful of remote consequences, unless such securities were given as the country would look to with confidence. Mr. TIGHE maietaMed, that unless the State could Thew that the disabilities were necessary when first proposed, it was unjust to continue them. He dwelt for vane time on the violation of the capitula tion of Limerick, and warned the House bow they would check the recruitieg in Ireland by a perseve rance in the present system. Mr. CHARLES ADAMS said, the question was, whether we should have a Protestant Established Religion or not ? He would wish to tolerate the Ca tholics, as well as every other sect ; but he would only tolerate them-e-he would not give them political power. Mr. PONSONBY mid, the Right Honourable Doctor opposite had alluded to the mention which was made in a pamphlet of Lord Grenville and himself (Mr. Ponsonby). He-should only say with respect to himself, thaf if the whole vof the Catholics were to rise up against him, stilg he should support their claims, and that because he saw those c' lens were necessary, not only to the tranquillity and happiness of Ireland, but of England too. It bad been objected that the Established Church would be sub vetted ; but he thought that those who advanced this argument should slaw in what manner that purpose was likely to be accomplished, supposing it to exist. It was slot by force, for that could as well be applied before, as after the measure ; nor was it by secret inn fluence, for the Minister himself, if he harboured !uch an intention, would not be able to accomplish With.respeet to that assertion of the Learned Doctor,l that the Catholics would Weak their oaths, be (Mr. ' Ponsonby) would be ashamed to briug the charge against any body of men—and be would answer it in tin; instance by saying, that the Catholics of Ireland would be as far from adopting such a principle as the Protestants of England— (Hear, gene.) Mr. W. SMYTH spoke in favour of the motion, and contended, that every man had a right to worship GOD in his own way. There was no danger from the toleration of religions, but from the ccntrary there was every danger. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, it was not upon the ground that the Catholics of Ireland were more rebellious subjects than any other that he would resist the motion, but upon the yround that the Church Establishment should be maintained in the whole kingdom, and not endan gered in any part of it. It had been asked how this evil could happen, whether by force or by influence ? he would say that it might happen in consequence of the course in which the Hon. Gentlemen, on the other side, were proceeding .when they sat in the situation which he and his colleagues at present tilled, by gran ting gradually until all was given away. But it had been said, that it was a matter of right, and, therefore, should be subject to no conditiens. Yet it be rightly understood she Right Hon. Gentleman who made lise of such an argument, he had admitted once that it should only he granted upon condition, and that condition was the Veto. • Mr.WHITBREAD made along speech in favour of the claim of the Catholics. The Hon. Gentleman enforced the arguments which had been so ably and elegantly brought forward by the Right lion. Mover, and took occasion to comment on the. conduct of the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer. • This called up Mr. STEPHEN amidst a very loud and general call fnr Question, which prevented the Honourable Gentleman from being heard. He proceeded to defend his Right Hon. Friend from the observations of the Honourable Gentleman ; In 1 the course of Khich he said that there was nothing which :a 'naparte could say or do that the Honoura ble Gentleman would not be the advocate and apo logist for— Mr. WHITBREAD rose to order, anciedeeired , that the weeds of the Hon. Member. might be taken ; down, as on these words he charged him (Mr. W.). with being an enemy to his country. (Hear. hear.) The Clerk accordingly by desire of the House took the svords down. The SPEAKER called upon the lion. Member to state whether he admitted or justified the words ? Mr. STEPHEN said, he did not mean to impute to the Honntirable Gentleman that he was an enemy to his country. Far from it. He was in the judg ment of the House when he asserted that wishing to &feed his Right Hon. Friend, who had been repre sented as insincere and artful, he might lave used seeds, which Wit not been for the painful interrup tion of the .House , he should, have abstained horn ''''og---(Heare hear.) Mr. WHITBREAD ited no wish to persevere in the complaint ; but the Hon. Gentleman haven; dta racteriaed him as a decided enemy to his country, lie ! thought it doe to the House to notice the words. At a • the same time, he was coviaced, on coed reflection, that the wards fell from the Hon. Gentleman in the warmth of debate. He must, in explanation, state, that when the Hon. Gentleinan charged him with advocating French principles, he wad not delending -the toleration of those principles he was merely sta. 6 ng how matters stood in France, and contrastifig. .. . the state of the Church thtre with the principle of the Right Hon: t3entleman. After .some observations from Mr. SMITH, the CHANCELLOR of the Excumurs, and Mr. GRATTAN. in reply, the House divided. .For the motion, 83 ; Against it, 146 ; Majority against it, 0.

The garrison entertained a hope of speedily being relieved ; but the plan of the Allies had the desired effect, and the •ictory was on our side. " Mr. TORRES, who is just arrived from Bilboa, which he left on the 4th inst. states that the people of Biscay are now, more than ever, animated in the cause of their country ; and that the few who had fa voured the French are now seeking pardon for their conduct since King JOSEI'II has returned to France.

Mr. Eivia. argued for the propriety of supporting their original determination. Dixos, alter scn►e allusions to the proceedings 'of the Common Hall the day before, declared that he. had no hesitation in saying, that the representation of the people wanted no reform. Mr. Davies sari that he WAS no party man, but he was a friend to moderate reform. Mr. Alderman Binds said, the question was not whether Parliamentary Reform was or was not a , good thing in itself ? but whether it was wise and pro per that the Hall should be granted to a body of strangers and aliens to the Corporation, for the pur pose of discussion ? He thongist it was an insult to the Corporation to open their Hall to such an assembly. Mr. QuiN, in a very animated speech, supported the Resolution of the Court of the 22d May ; and concluded by moving an Amendment, which wat to leave out all the words of the motion after the word That, and to insert the sentence in their Address to 'tire Prince Regent. Alderman Sir WILLIANI CURTIS felt himself called upon to avow that he was the person who proposed le the Court of Aldermen the Resolutions upon which Mr. Quin had commented ; and he begged leave to say, that though as an Alderman he was a Member of that Court, and owed it great and real respect, yet he had been elected an Alderman, and consequently a Magistrate by his Ward, which imposed upon him duties distinct from, and independent of that Court. He was bound :o preserve the peace of the City. He had taken an oath to do it, and he swore by the living Coo he would keep his word. The Worthy Member had, by way of Amendmenti.introduced a passage of Addiess to the Prince Regent. He would beg leave to read the Prince's Answer, in . which he told .• them that it was his intention to In rintain and support the ancient Constitution, %Oki; Lad been the source of all all the blessings thug enjoyed.
