'Pr ifilnest end tlrtls pripari dbe inaY but litiaa d oars *. o t jaw which Slone constitutes the foe G amy of a coiskitrT. fi r , ; REDESDALE argued the ithpolicy of so freouriely britigitig forward . moiions of this kind, ci t not. at Once bringing in a Bill , which would shew s ithst , wca t h e si-sire of the Friends of Emancipation. It was a line of conduct he, for one, would strenu col a ppose, as producing much agitation in the m i n ds of the Irish, without chiing them one single bcc ,it. As. a proof of the little value the Clergy p e „ the law ofthe land when the interests of their ut Cbefeh were concerned, he stated a case which °c oned while he was on the Beach in Ireland. A cello) c Clergyman was asked how he had the pre aemption to marry two minors (the female c o y 1¢ yeas of age and a ward of Chancery) when t b o y were both Protesbuni, and that his conduct was • " tr oy to law ? He replied—" It may he your I s e, but it is not the law of my Church." As long, therefore, as the Catholic Clergy adhered to the doe. v i n e of eoreign Ecclesiastical jurisdiction, he thought i b e ie Lordships should he cautious how they proceed. e d. The case in the Netherlands was by no means a pplicable, as the Roman Catholic Religion was the established religion of that country. In fact, the t r i,b Catholics were particularly distinguished from all other Catholics that he had heard or read of. If the owe of emancipation were so anrius to obtain weir objec:, let them at once bring in a Bill which co ld elucitiate their views ; but by calling on their 1 , fps to pledge themselves to take the subject l aw consideration next Session, they hurt thi it co s, they excited hopes which might be frustrat. sad thus prepared the way for consequences oda might be serious to the State. As long sr the Catholic, however, entertained so high an * a im of Lis Church, and of its being indepen dent of the British Crown, he thought their Lord ships shauld not be too forward in granting the prayer o f the Petition. The power which the Roman Ca. /italic Clergy of Ireland exercised over the people was lad), he would venture to say, as the priests of no other Catbelic country in Europe, except Spain per haps. would dare to exercise. They subjected them t o that influence not for any good purpose, hut merely for the eske of einolumeut and power. He was me the ever) other Catholic Government would controul such a pernicious influence; but the . Irish Clergy had declared t-ey would submit is none. As to domestic e limination, what teal controul did that provide ? Noce. It. would, on the e‘setrary, rather increasr.the power of the priests. If the Catholic laity of Iceland were left to themselves, he was sure there would be hale difficulty in conci:iating them upon that and every other 1.- bject. It was his arm ra,:inion that all the troubles .nu disturbances which had so lung aft fitted Ireland were in a great measure attributable to Mc iriftuence of the Clergy. The only way in which t: .cre were.any chance of producing concilia tion would be by bringing forward some specific pro position, the effect of which might be comprehended sconce, ast, h yw far it was compatible with the taw) widcoastitution of the realm. To enact any sweep. sag measure, by which all the restrictions would be removed, would, in his judgment, have just the coil nary elicet o pr .ducing conciliation. Earl STANHOPE sa.d, that the speech of the Noble and Learned Lord, wha had jest sat down, was precisely one of those speeches which was snore calculated to excite exasperation than any he had my heard from any one person, on any one occasion, aat any ore time. It was an attack upon the whole arrgy of Irelatid, and through their sides of the altar people of that country. He trusted, however, 'bait would have a contrary effect, and that neither carbilic nor Protestant would be roused into anger W.it, A great deal had been said about the right of deeseitic nomination, and• the vote. Now what was fhtt blessed *do 1 0 Nothing more than to give the Om a direct or indirect share, and rather more than a sh fre, in nominating the Prelates and Bishops if Ireland. But why have a tag at all, after the concessions, the wise, honourable, judicious. and tempetatte Concessions made by the Clergy in thch Petition ? Why should the Catholic Clergy :done be saddled with a veto? Were they the only personsithose religious opinions affected the safety of the Established Church ? He had stated on a former Occasion, that in England and Wales the Dissenters were AS five tOthree cot:puma with theChurchmeh.— lit Ireland, it was tide, the Catholics weie as ten to vie, and in Scotland they were all Presbyterians: If a Asa was netesSary for the Catholics, why did not they also have a Baptist.

Oh if it once the Catholics and I)itsenters had but sense enough to join togetlicr what a lickin g they would give her l—(Loud imoslder ) The Noble Earl then expressed his entire approltation tithe lariats:ll;e in which the Petition from the Cabo-, t Clergy was couched. The Noble . Earl opposite (Earl Bathurst) who was then looking at weir] t uraugh his eye-glass. (a lank) objected to the motion baeause it reierred the consideration of the Catholic shims to the nett Session t would he consent to strike out that part of the motion ' and substitute the 'fiords, that they 'be n'ow considerea ? He would move then: as an amendment, if the Noble Earl would sup port it. The LORD CIiANCELLoII cownded dart the riction thenisitute their Lordships i-as :n direct con tradiction to the principles of the Const+tution of this C°Untrl, fur it went to the conferring equal rights, Pod plielleges upon all classes of Re thought it would be highly &oakum, and hie& pedient.in tl.er Lohcishipb to give thy piAge owe' a 'abject of so mtich importance. With respect to the petitions from the Clergy of Ireland, .1 he had known its contents before lie should have felt it his duty tot srbu t i t to their Lordships whether it was a fit one to be received ? lie was at a loss to understand how et' allf)vord, year after year, and season alter season, 'at tee ghost question of Catholic Lik.ancipatiotv yak hover brought forward till near tia: c,ose of the t • ‘eshon, and when it was avowed by iitose Atm sup. Mud it, that it was too late to take any steps at those /rotes. As to giving a n y pledge upon tf 1,0 401014 46 knot think that it would satisfy the Cati- ,, lic wind; why, indeed, should they give a pledge at * btu they could do all that was necessary to bk tto'he tiihuut a pledge ? Upon, those grounds, and with. • I nttrulg at all ism the general merits of ;he gaol- , ~••• • • . „ . tiott, he 4ottidgiiiiiii decided ofio afts .. o4 to the sent tbotioh. The Bishop of NORIVICI4, though scerely, at ,.,ched to the con st i tut i on o f hi s countr 3 whicfl be venerated, and to the church establishment which lie was b .and to support, was an far from thinking that concessions to 'tint Roman Catholic brethren would be dangerous to either, that he believed they would g i v e addition a l security to hrith. He did not knew what the opinion of olio Noble and Learned —or'l might he as to the duty of a Bishop, but he would tell their Liwdships that, in his own opinion, it was the duty. as it was the criterion, of a Christian bishop to conciliate, not to divide—to allay; not to exasperate, religious differences. It had been asked as a trium• phant objection, would we pull down the bulwarks al our faith ? would we remove the defensive guards of religion ? would we shake the pillars of our church ? Impressed with those feelings dust became his situa tion, and hoping their Lordships would pardon so humble an individual as himself for delivering his opinion. he would give a short answer to this ques tion —( firer.) The only way to recurs permanently the existence of any establishment, civil or ecclesias tical, was to evince liberal and conciliatory conduct to I those whti differed from us, and to lay Its foundation in the I ove, affection, and esteem ofali within its inference. This was the true bulwark of our Church ; with this it was secure against all danger—without this every other security was futile and fallaciens—( Hear). — To use the words of a favourite author of his, he ould ,say.—.. Lairdari. WI ; I Mil. sloriosum est ; India I 'two, et is cfia rue, iavidiatam, deintabile, inrl4cillu,n, cads cum."—The most enlarged principles of toleration, while they tended in their operation to reconcile all vets, to bring all dissents of faith within the pale of charity, and to smooth the asperity of religions dif ferences, never yet disturbed the tranquillity of any State, or s'eook the security oftey Church. A Chris. tian spirit could never endanger a Christian establish ment —(Hear, hear). —He would trouble their Lord- , ships nu longer with his opinions, but he hoped he should be pardoned for saying, that the sentiments he had delivered deserved the serious consideration of those among his Majesty's Ministers who obstinately persisted in opposing the claims of four millions of his Majesty's subjects. and who, having raised the dangerous cry of a No Popery," when concessions to them were proposed, might, unless they adopted a more conciliatory conduct, be compelled to hear, from the other side of the water, the more dangerous cry of 4 , No Union."

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCH2QUER defended he Bill. He contended, a. n now stood, It would relieve 24,000 out of RCM.

The writer of the letter expresses a wish that these barbarians may be exterminated—this may not, perhaps, be absolutely necessary, but certainly the assassins ought to be made to change places with their Christian slaves.

Last night, when the Corps Diplomatiqne were presented to the King, his Majesty spoke to all with great affability, but particularly to the Duke of Wel. lington.
