OFFICE OF CLERK OP THE PLEAS IN IRELANTY. Mr. PLUNKETT wished to know horn the Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland, what was the nature of the Bill of which he had given notice, relative to the office of Clerk of the Pleas.in Ireland. Mr. PEEL said, tjiat his object was, that the fees and emoluments of that office should be empounded, till the legal question which was now pending with regard to the right of nomination to that situation, should be decided. His Bill would have no reference to the right of nomination, though tie thought that lay in the Crown ; but as the emoluments of the situation amounted to no less than twenty-five or thirty thou sand a-year, he did not think he would do his duty, if he did not take care to secure such a large amount of money till the question should be decided... Mr. PLUNKETT was authorised to state, that ample security would be given for the amount of the fees received, till the question should be legally de cided. Indeed, the Chief Baron had not appointed to that situation, till he had most fully satisfied himself of his right of appointment. He had made out such a Prima fade case of his right, tha,t the Court of Ex chetrier, he believed, was also convinced, though it thought it right to refer the subject to legal decision. The office had been conceived to be a sinecure, and the great emoluments of the situation were thought to be received without having any duty annexed to them. But from his ,own knowledge, he could assure the House that this was a very erroneous impression, for there were no less than twelve clerks attached to the situation. It was therefore by no means a sine. cure office, but one, the duties, of which required much attention. He could not but think it some. what extraordinary that Parliament should interfere in a question which was in the course of legal deci sion, especially when there was ample security of fered for the emoluments of the situation, in case the right of appointment should be decided to be in the Crown. Mr. PEEL intended only for the present to im pound the tees and emoluments of the office, till the right of nomination should be legally decided ; :and for the future to reguLte the fees of a satiation ...Neil a Committee r f that House had recommended should be entirely abolished. He believed the right at m. mination Isy in the Crown, and he had the authority of Mr. Standish O'Grady, the Chief Baron, himself for his tAief. Yet his Bill would not interfere. on that point ; but he thought it within the competency of the House to r:gulate the emoluments of an office, of which a Committee of the House had recommended the entire abolition, as well as to secure the emolu ments of that office, till it was decided where the right of nomination to it lay. • Mr. PLUNKETT ; had-no objection to theyegula: tion by the House of the emoluments of this office, it the emoluments of other offices were also regulated. liutfie thought it somewhat singular to select this in.. dividual office for the application of regulicions to it, when there were so many others to which regulation could be equally well applia Mr. LESLIE FOSTER. thought the etnolutpents of this office were so enormous, that none called more louldly for regulation. Even if it were not a sinecure situation, there would be abundance for the compen sation of any duties annexed to it, after a great reduc tion of those emoluments. The head of the situation hid not, indeed, the entire of those emoluments ; for he had only 410,000 a-year, his deputy 47000 3-year, his first clerk £3OOO a-year, and no clerk less than 42000 a-year ; s 9 that his Right Hon. Fiiend was much within the reality when. he stated the amount of them at thirty thousand pounds a year. He th;refore•con ceivrd that no otlice deserved regulation more than the one in question. After some farther conversation between Mr. Peel, Sir John Newport,. Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald, Mr. Aber cromby, and Mr. Plunkett, the subject dropped. CATHOLIC PIiTITIoN. Sir HENRY PARNELL held in his hand a peti tion which had been agreed to at a general meeting of the Roman Catholics of Ireland, held in Dublin in icily last. The petition had been agreed to at that meeting, without any. opposition ; and he therefore thought that.it should be considered as the general petition of the Catholics'of that kingdom. The peti tion was short, and only stated that the petitioners were deprived of their just share of the blessings of the Constitution for adhering to religious opinions which they believed to be right, and that they prayed to be admitted to an equal enjoyment of civil liber ties with their fellow subjects. He understood that his Right Hon. Friend. Mr. Grattan) would in a few days present another petition from another body of the Catholics oil; eland, and that in consequence of the two petitions it was conceived there was a great division amongst the-Catholics of Ireland. But the difference between those-petitions was more nominal than real ; the petition which he had the honour to pre sent only stated the grievances, and prayed to be freed ,from them without pointing out any particular line to be adopted. The other petition stated.that the Catho lics were ready to. su b m i t to any secur i t i es which were • . not inconsistent with their religion. .This was the only difference; and this- was a- differeqce . in-name more than in reality. There was also an. Address from the Catholics of Ireland, to be. presented to•his Royal Highness.;he Prince Regent, praying, -that he would be graciously pleased to order a recommendation to - Parliament-to take .the •grievances of the Catholics into the earliest consideration.- The Catholics,. there for!, threw the business into the handkpflis-Majesty's Ministers ; And he, consequently; did• not, feel it ne cessary at present to make any farther motion on the subject, than that the Petition be read and or dered to lie on -the rabic. He trusted his Majesty's Ministers would feel she importance of the subject, at a moment- when .there..was. a large mificarrforce reqUirbd tOr Ireland. . It had • beat said,, that during the continuance of - 60:war-there Imre some peculiar circumstances interiening au. the subject boy as. itwas now peace lie trosteillhoo.thoso cjr• • ,•••• • • SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1816.

Their Lordships met, agreehly to their previous adjoernment, at about half past three o'clock, when prayers being over, and the usual formalities passed through, the Earls of Foamiest and MATO i as Irish Representative Peers, took the customary oaths and their seats accordingly. Mr.Hurentoson, from the Bank, presented an accomit of the Bank-notes in circulation from the Ist of January, 1796, to the Ist of January, 1797, and also an Account of the issue of notes , front the Ist of January, 1815 to the Ist of January, 1816, agreeably to an order o f th e i r Lordships. These documents were afterwards, upon the Mattel of the Earl of LAtinzanste, ordered to be printed. Mr. HAUST, from the War Office, presented an Account of the amended Army Estimates, which, on the motion of the Mar quis of LAtiannwea, was ordered to be primed.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved, that a me,sage be sent us the Commons, requesting a copy of the Report of the Committee of that House, relative to the collection of Statuary and Sculptural Marbles brought into this country by Lord Elgin. '1 he motion was agreed to. Earl GROSVENOR called the attention of their Lordships to a subject whickto had long conside.-td to be of great importance, but which the exigencies of the present times rendered peculiarly so. It could not biadenied, that during the acknowledged hard ships under wisich every class of men in Society, as well as the Government itself, were labouring in their financial capacities, the utmost prudence and the closest economy ought to be ob served, and it would follow in any rational contempiathea of the subject, that all useless office., sinecure places, and pennons, and especially reversionary grants, should be abolished or reduced, as far as it was pratticable. With that conviction on his min.!, he felt it his duty to give notice, that he should make a specific mo tion on the subject next Thursday seamiest, and he then moved, that the Lords be summoned accordingly.-.-Ordered. Their Lordships then adjourned 110 (ME OF COMMONS. The call (lithe House which stood for this day was postponed. The Exchequer Bill on Aids Bill was read a thud time and passed.

STATE AF IRELAND. 9;r JOHN NEWPORT rose, in pursuance of hie notice, to call the etteetion of the House to a veey importentsubjecte-the state cf Ireland, internally, and as it related to Ors country. Censiderine the magnitude of this subject, it might heve been expec ted that some other snore able Member would have brought it forward. He cold not, indeed, here been looked upon as cempkent to such a subject ; especially when it was perceived how many there were who were much more able in every point of view, ,whose talents, and whose Tele arch would have enabled them to s have entered so much arlte confi dently upyn the task, and by whose genius it would . have been so worthily illustrated and displayed. He ought certainly to have lett the motion he intended to submit in other hands; but, as he had been the • means of bringing it forward, he felt it his duty to proceed with it witle as much information as his exer tions and opportunities had enabled him to obtain ; and as there were amongst his auditors many of those , riuen who had rendered themselves illustrious by their conduct toweids their country, he had nn de'ibt but those Meets would be supplied by them, which might be perceived in his statements, and that they would make full amends for his want of ability by their superior information. He scarcely needed to remind the Houie that the two Gentlemen to whom he principally alluded were the Itilember for Dublin and the Member for that City's University. To what 'then, he would ask, were all the calamities of Ireland chiefly owing t Were they not the consequences of mis-government He hoped he should glee no of. fence by alluding to the conduct of former Admit:is trations, for it was impossible to produce a remedy to the evils without examining first into their cons*. quences. It would be seen, that for six centuries most Ireland had been in a dreadful state of turbu. lence and c illusion, and evidently from the fault and miseonduct of her Governors. It was beyond all doubt - that there must have been mis-government, for except in this one instance; there never, were two countries so allied as Euglend and I: eland were, which had not become assimileted in manners, in ha bits, and in, interests. In examining intr., the Irish history, great assista nce was aft .rded from impartial * . [historians, who, had fortunately handed do-en unretes. ' tionable testimonies of the state of the country at dif. fermi. times; One of the first authentic and imear. tial accounts which we had of Ireland was en the ac cession of . JaMes I. to the throne by Sir J. Davis, whose statements had in gererel been friend :o etch. rate and so strictly correct, that they require'd .no ' panegyric. That_hi, torian mentioned, that the eel. versal wish of the Irish nation had been deniodehem In more than •one instance; and was it t, be won dered at, he had said, in langUage which s however quaint, would be allowed to p4sess peculiar expres. " when they were so treated that they should • have pricks in their eyes and thorns in their sides ?". The House, or at least such of the Members as had °not seen the work he had been quoting, would be surprised to hear, that when a man wa s mur d ere d i g Ireland, about the time when it was written,. it was a natter in issue, whether the person murdered was •" de Hibernico tanguine If he happened to be. so, the murderer was fined five merits and discharged; ;f the person killed was English, the murderer lost Ilia life. When the Irish people were oppressed in evi-y possible manner, they .were called vindictive; and some had said that they woukt not obey the laws. and had brought Sir John Davis as a pried of ,their assertion. But Sir John Davis had stated the fact, that they wanted to have a due and just administre tion of the laws, which they could never ohtein.-9. The concluding of that historian deserved to be re. membered," I know no nation,",he had seid, 46 , who love impartial justice more than the Irish, or who are more ready to practise it." He then proceeded to skew that they were a people most friendly, and of a most generous disposition, I 4 provided they have protection from the laws, when upon good grounds they desire it." He would remind the HjUse, that it was protection, and not punishment only which a people expected from the laws; and it was trout thetr being, as it, ware, under the protection of the I tw that the people of a well-governed State beeline parties to the proper administration of justice. It was true, that under O'Neill and Desmond some misoidett people had risen and had rebelled; but the hid' pea ple were as famed for their loyalty, and as exemplery in their conduct, as a nation, as any peepie in any country, either in ancient or modern times. With respect to the system of coloniz it:oa which had bee% put in practice about the time of those men, it was rather like garrisoning an hostile country, than uni ting the people from one country with those of aeo. then, as peaceable and mutually satisfied inha7sitaets might have been expected to have. been united.. 'Fite general conduct of the British was that of a country against rebels, and there seemed a contest between those who were to keep and those who Were to lose. In various parts of the country there existed a system of inquisitorial severity; and the smallest shadow was seized on by the Minister:: with aeview of inimetlate aggrandizement, or with an expectation of the iiijered party coming forward to compromise with them .for. the property of which they bad been deprived. There were continual disputes between the Crown „and „the people, or the Parliament. The country ,was the • ..victim of internal dissentioni. and intermit. artifices and intrigues ; and though the people.were suing to the quick, every .one deeply regretted that at ,{teat time they. had taken up arms. It was theethat those lamentable effusions had, been made which had deso lated and threatened destruction to die con9tririt was then that she was plungol into scentis.p44l99d abed and horror which were too drea.itql.to44:de• scribed; it was then that spelt coriteets,l4taiten ,place between tha Crown and :thee Paro4l9ol4t, aost influenced, he belwctu the Lard ,Lioutenaut f sec , c77;r:i - . - . . ‘14. 0 1: • 114 af, wo.tiar • , .
