of Ireland should b? open to the inspection of Go vernment. These were the securities proposed, and it wrluld be remembered that the private coue spottarice was nothing new—that it had long existed. and that it did still exist.—(Hear, hear t) But if secu rities had been demanded some years since, he would ask if no alteration had taken place in the times ? Might it not so happen too, that that which would have operated as a security, would at the present period no longer effect the same end? Had the restoration of the Pope made no difference as to securities But %he Hon. Gentleman who argued for details, when the House was only called to decide as to whether It would reject or adopt a simple parliamentary principle, made no allowance whatever for the change of cii cumsrances and of perieds.—(Hear, hear!) The Bill of 1813 failed, not upon the question of security, but by the vote of the Speaker on the clause respecting seats in Parliament, and by that vote he had bequeathed them the precious legacy they now inherit. The Catholics. then naturally withdrew from the offer of the securities. The bargain was off. The Right Hon. Gentleman spoke as if he had entered into negotiation with the Homan Catholic Clergy. So far was this from being the case, that he had asserted over and over again fiat he never would exchange a syllable or a line with any Roman Catholic upon the subject. It was not a question of bargain and sale. It was for Parliament to enact, and for every class of subjects to obey. If Parliament descended to bargain, it would be guilty of a great dereliction of dt i ra. et The question had not been lost for want of sea t In the other House of Parliament the idea of securities were scorned.— In this it now appeared they were held in "the highest estimation. So that between the two the Catholics were to be reduced to a dilemma. The Lords did not say that there was any danger, and it was a hard task that his Right Hon Friend imposed upon him first to find out the danger, and then to discover the securities. It was like that imposed upon one of the characters in the Bible, not only to interpret the dream, but to find out what the dream was. He had always thought it ne cessary, that whenever the question should be carried, the Sovereign should have some controul or cognizance with respect to the nomination of Bishops. The King of Prussia h d this power, and the King of the Nether lands was sow negotiating to procure it. But they went for this power to the market where it was to be had—namely, to the Pope. But he was precluded from such a course, for he had an opinion of his Right Ron. Friend upon cases submitted to him, that, by cor responding with the Coutt of Rome, he should incur the penalties of a Premunire. The MASTER of the ROLLS said, that the opinion was stated in a private letter. Mr. Secretary CANNING replied, that it was in reply to a case officially submitted by him, as Secretary of State, to the Right Hon. Gentleman as one of the Law Officers of the Crown. I have seen it stated in some popular work, that it was high treason for any sub ject of this realm to be in correspondence with the Pope. Very soon after I came into the office which I at present fill, a letter was addressed to our most gracious Sovereign from the Pope, announcing his accession to the Pontificate ; that letter was accom panied by another of a very complimentary character, addressed to myself by the Pope's Secretary. I thought my better course, under all the circumstances of the case, would be, to obtain the opinion of of the Law Officers of the Crown on the subject of the correspon dence ; and, in answer to an application which I directed to be made, I received a letter, which, as I have referred to it, I shall take the liberty of reading to the House.— The letter is to the following effect : a Sir, we have had the honour of receiving from Mr. Plants, a l-ttee directed to his Majesty's Law Officers, stating that his Holiness the Pope bad forwarded a communication to his Majesty, announcing his elevation to the Papal Throne, and that this communication has been accompanied by a complimentary letter from Cardinal Gonsatel to his Majesty's Principal Secre tary for Foreign Affairs; and, further, a question having arisen in that Right Honourable Gentleman's mind, whether, In the event of his noticing or replying to these communications, he would be, in the opinion of his Majesty's Laws °Meets, accord ing to the existing law of the land, liable to a premunire; we are of opinion, that ander the Act of Mt Elizabeth, c. I, sec. Ifi, any one allowing or admitting thejurisdict she See of Rome in this realm, is subject, for the first offence, to a premunire ;:and as in the present case, the Pope claims to exereise authority over the Roman Catholic Church in these countries, we are of opinion an answer to the letters referred to might be interpreted as a sanction of these claims to authority, and, consequently, that the party so communicating might render himself liable to the penalty of premunire. Signed) 8 . R. GIFFORD. "J. S. COPLEY." (Great and protracted laughter). Now, Sir, I began to con= alder with myself the penalties consequent upon premunire; and, unlearned as I was. I found, upon enquiry, that a man, attahned with a premunire, might be slain by any one. —(Laughter). • Further Sir. that he was considered to be out of the King's protection, and beyond that of the law for all beneficial purposes—(A laugh), Ile was unable to bring his action at law, and no one was to succour a person guilty --(Laugh ter).—According to Hawkins, Sir, I believe there are further penalties counected with suretyship. The MASTER of the ROLLS—That is not my opinion. Mr. Secretary CANNING.—No; it is not the Right Honourable and Learned Gentleman, but Burns; Justice, which is my present authority.—(Great mer riment. (Such were some of the penalties incident to a premuaire, which I, an ignorant and unlettered person, naturally anxious to obtain infounation on the subject, discovered. It was natural, Sir, I should look to the penalties; and, looking to them, 1 resolved I would not correspond with his Ilolines the Pope. Accord. ingly, Sir, I did not once a single line in reply to the communication, neither did I aitvie his Majesty to re turn any answer. And although, Sit,from that day mulls I have been precluded from the possibility of offering to his Holiness any explanation of my apparent want of p oper attention and politeness ; yet I may now be permitted to hore, that, in a more legitimate way, my motive may now leach his ears—and without the fear of a premunire—(Laughter). And with such a view it is, 1 take this opportunity to assute that venerable person that the omission on that occasion was dictated by no intentional want of respect. Having ascertained, Sir, that to correspond with the Pope was to put myself in jeopardy, it was not likely that fict could in- duce n.e, with all my admiration for the laws which yet remained unrepealed, to attempt to convey any communication to the Pope of Rome. No doubt a, similar feeling pervades the bosom of my Right Hon. ' and Learned Friend on the subject; and yet, S:r, to the Pope of Rome it is that my friend must come at last. if be really desire. to effect that security which might be expected to arise out of the nomination of the Roman Catholic Bishops.—(H e ar and laughter.) With respect to that other branch, when I called on my Right 110.-. Friend for his opinioo, and he answered by informing ne, I would be putting my life and fortune both al kc in jeopardy, if I corresponded with— The MASTER of tae ROLLS.—I consider that the opinion referred to was contained in a private letter— (Cries of " Order, order; Chair chair r) —and I cs. it the Right Hon. Secretary has more than a copy, U., original (so we understood the Right Hon. and Learned Member to say) being in my own possession. [Great confusion was created en the House by thin interruption.] Mr. Secretary CANNING—Sir, I:do not exactly:un derstand this i n terruption—(lncteased disorder). —It is, in my opinion, must extraordinary—(Cries of -Heart Order ! Chair !) —I assert, this is a public document, on the production pf which depends the judgment to be pro.. nounced as to whether or not I have properly executed my public duty, as a Minister of the Crown—(Heer. hear). With this vire , I ca led for the opinion of hs Nlajesty's Law officers, and received it, not in a non official, but in an official way ;—and that being the case, have a right to refer to it—(Cheer,). Perhaps, Sir, I might not have referred to the matter, if it were not foe qj extradordinaty language made use of , n o t in thi s Muse,. or in this discussion, but elsewhere, and on a different occasion. I confess, Sir, I did not expect su - language would be repeated here, much less that any man .to 4I attempt to impeach my honour and honesty. Though, Sir, I vow to GOD, if before I came into this House, I were called upon to judge from what quarter the attack would come, that qua ter from which s it has pseceeded, would have basil the very last from which I could have expected it— (Hear). Well then, omitting this, to the most.,pain ful subject, I come to another branch, that of the securities. Sir, it seems securing are required against the private correspondence carried - on between the Catho lics of this country and the See of Rome.Be it remembereJ, this correspondence is wholly of a spiritual nature, touch ing the granting of indulgences, and the transactions, having reference to private life,and coming properly and strictly under ecclesiastical cognizance. True, the se• curities which I proposed failed along with the Bill, of which they were to have formed a part: and when they failed, my labours on the subject were at an end). With respect to the superintendence of private correspondences of Catholic Clergy with the Church of Rome, those who thought, if these were any such, that there was danger - to the State in the marriage of second cousins, twice removed only could be anxious for such a power. But, in fact, this correspondence existed now with all its; dangers, and, therefore, those persons must be mistaken who thought there could be no security for the Protestant Church unless these papal bulls were taken by the horns. —(Hear, and laughter). With respect to securities, again he would ask why, if these securities were necessary for the safety of the country, were they not enacted, even if no Catholic Petition were before Parliament ? The Honourable Gentleman who addressed the House late, in the debate last night, must be supposed to be a new Member of that House—or he would have known that the day of the Coronation Oath argument was gone by.—[The Right Hon. Gentleman here read an extract from a speech of Lord Liverpool, in which the 'Noble Lord expressed his opinion that the Corona tion Oath afforded no , obstacle to the removal of the civil and religious disabilities under which the Boman Catholic laboured.3 This, at least, was one . bog-bear fairly disposed of, and no more ought to be said of the Coronation Oath: Those who op posed the relief of the Catholics, proposed no measure as a substitute for it. Nor did they condescend to state what the dangers were which they so strongly appre hended. The office of Commander in Chief might, acs cording to the law as it now stood, be filled ley a Cdtlao fie. The Elective Franchise, by the Act of 1795, was conferred upon Catholics. T he Catholics were rendered missible to the Bar by the same Act, and they sil l knew how ably they availed thesnielves of the privikgs. By the Act of 179$,Catholics were also admitted into the d army in every rank below that of the Staff,and no seen fities were required. But surely, then, when they were [ afterwards admitted to the rank of Generals,some securi• ides were required. No such thing. Why then this outcry about securities, unless to excite alarm in the country, or perhaps to hold up to public odium individuals who, did not think it necessary to insist upon them ? Mr. Pitt be would depose before any tribunal in the world, had been decidedly favourable to the Eaten. cipation of the Catholics. His opinion was accord ing to the testimony of the Tate Lord London derry given in that House, unchanged to his dying day. He did not believe that at the time of the Union there had been any promise to the Catho lics. But the hope of relief from all disabilities had been nevertheless a main inducement to them to acquiesce in that measure; and when they saw two thirds of the Members of that House from Ireland fa vourable to that relief, it would now appear that it was only the Union which had prevented the question from being settled many years ago. The appalling pic ture which bad been drawn of the state of Ireland in-, duced him to think that the firmness of which the Hon. Secretary to the Irish Goveanment had spoken, was a quality which, if appli:d to this case, would be entitled to change its name. He hoped, however, that the House' ' would not be insensible to the dangers of suffering the question to remain in its present state. It was impossible for any man to hear statements without being convinced that it was both nasal . e and impossible to keep that coun try in its present situation. The Penal Code was born sowed from the treatment of the Israelites by Phareaht but it could not be safely persevered in, nor it! last ves tiges much longer retained. He was neitherthe champion nor the accuser of the Catholic Priests. But he could, not believe that all the charges which were made againei them were well founded. fn. Right lion. Gentlemen' here read copious extracts from the Catechism pub lished by the Roman Catholic Church, to shew that they had nit wilfully, or for any sinister purpose, garbled the language of Scripture, and particularly that of the decalogue. He pledged himself only by his vote to the coils (legation of the question, and if it should be the opinion of the House that this question was one not fit to he considered, which, by negativing the Resolu tion, they wouM declare, then he could only say that the House of Commons was changed indeed—(The Right Hon. Gentleman sat down at half-past four rfeclock, amidst loud cheers from all parts of the House.) Sir CHARLES FORBES persisted in speaking contrary to the manifest inclination of the House, and, on the intercession of Mr. Canning, was heard. The Hon. Member alertly stated, that his ground for supporting the Resolution was, that it only went to the consideration of the question, and pledged the House to nothing. Sir F. BURL/ET C said a few words in reply, and beggeo to change the word necessity for expediency, and to expunge the word immediate. The House then divided upon the Resolution as amentisd, when there appeared— Fur the Resolution 272 Against it 276 Majority against the Resolution . —4 When the numbers wets announced, the House rang with st. clamations.

The discussion took a more interesting turn than on the preceding evening, and the supporters on both sides of the question were warrn,eloquear, and, if not strikingly brilliant, animated in no small degree. Sir J. Nzwroar, in a short and pithy speech, repeated the sentiments be bad so often and cordially expressed to the House upon similar oc casions. The Mittman of the ROLLS took a compre hensive view of the question, and insisted on the neces sity existing for some security against the exercise of foreign influence over the Catholics. Mr. PLunizrr followed the Right Hon. Gentleman, and was suc ceeded by Mr. Secretary PZEL, who, in a very elaborate speech of nearly two hours, argued against the impo licy of suffering any further concession. Mr. Baou•use followed. After some opposition to the motion from Mr. GooLsoltw, Mr. CAITOITIO rose; the Right Hon. Gentleman exhibited as much devotional attachment to the best interests of Ireland as ever. After an ani mated debate, which lasted till five o'clock this morn ing, the Catholic Q.testion was lost by a majority of four, the numbers being 276 to 272. A letter, received this morning from Mayence, states, that two Greeks of distinction had passed through that city on their way to London, upon an important mis sion to the British Government. They spoke with con fidence of the affairs of their country, and stated that there was no extremity which their countrymen were not prepared to endure, —no danger, which they wtre not dermined to brave, sooner than become again the bondsmen of the cruel and intolerant Turks. They fur ther said, that Lord COCHRAN* would commence his operations in support of the Greek cause in the course of the present month, and that their countrymen anticipated generally tire most signal success from his Lordship's well known skill and energy. We do not think that they will be deceived either in their hopes of his co-operatics, or in their ' anticipations of its decisive effects, as recent letters from the South of France speak positively of the de parture of the Noble and Gallant Lord for the Levant, with the design of joining the Greeks. The discussion on the Corn Question takes place to. morrow in the House of Commons, and not on Friday, as was in the first instance understood.

Scarcely any of tile coal lighters could get up from below bridge with their cargoes, and several were sunk. It should hare been high water at eight o'clock yesterday morning, but at that time the tide had not risen more than three feet. Such was the effect of the dreadful South West hurricane, that craft proceeded downwards through London Bridge against Ink, with the greatest ease.

Expectation is highly excited. The grand maestro, Rooms, will be here in a month to preside at the performance of his beautiful Opera of Iw Siege dr Curynthe, the success of which has been unprecedented at Paris ; and last, though not least, Madame PASTA in a few weeks will once more delight her numberless admirers.
