The Duke of WELLINGTON nioved that the House should go into a Committee on the Bill tor granting a Pension to the family of the late Mr. Canning. The House then went into a Committee upon the Bill. Earl GROSVENOR intimated that he had not upon a former occasion expressed any opinion contrary to the right of Mr. Canitinee family to the pension. Lind It F.DESDA LE gave bis assent to the /nosing of this Bill. He took this opportunity of caliing their attention to another family greatly requiring and deserving their Lordships 's benign considera tion—he meant Lord Gifford's family.—(Hear. hear). The Noble Lord knew that it wai malt against that Noble Lord's inclination that he consented to elischarge the public duties that were imposed on him ; but he yielded to the earnest solicitations horn the highest quarter, and in doing so gave up a most lucrative practice, by which ries. in Russia, in Poland, in Prussia, in Saxony, under a Catholic Soveteign, and in Holland under a Protet tan( Sovereign.

The superior purity of the Church of England, the eminent character of its Clergy, surely did not render it more liable to assault than any other Church. But apart from the principle for which he was contending, there was something Elev. J. R. 'rich thi he might amply have provided for his fintily. Lord ROLLR was happy that subject had been brought for ward by the House now. He intended to have called the notice of the House to it ere now, but circumstances had prevented hint. He could bear testimony to the Alan satisfactory manner in which Lord Gifford had discharged his rebtic duties.

Tranquillity is confirmed; instead of being troubled by the news from the theatre of war, every thing seems to indicate that the Porte is disposed to yield; it is said that the Reis 'Effendi has received orders to present to the European Ministers a refutation of the Russian De claration of the 11th of March, and entirely to disavow the Haiti Shetiff of 20th Dec. Though the prepara tions for defence continue, and a great deal of noise is made, every body attends' to his own business, as in the time of the most profound peace. The Sultan and his Harem are gone to the summer Palace of Beschiktasch ; the great men have given by turns fetes to their Sove reign. The Capitan Pacba began with a fete by night in the Island of Halky, which cost above 100,000 francs. The Mufti has been deposed, as as enemy to the new system. It is said, how ever, that his successor entertains religious sentiments still more rigid. Hussein Pacha would probably have been also dismissed if be had not been one of the sup poi ten of the new institutions. He has been so imprudent as to declare in full Council that be could not take the command of the troops with as much chance of success is any other Mussulman, because he had played too active a part in the destruction of the Janissaries. Toe Sultan, who would willingly efface all remembrance of that epoch, is said to have heard this declaration with the greatest dupleasure. It is not very evident what are the intentions of the Sultan himself, and it is not known whether he means to resist the Russians. It ap pears that we hate been on the point of seeing a counter-revolution attempted by the Janissaries. Some hundreds of them bad coauived to enter the city unper ceived ; their intention was to take advantage of the fete given by the Capitan Packs, to attempt the life of the Sultan ; but the police was happily informed of their intention, and arrested them in time. The navigation of the Black Sea experiences at pee mu severe obstacles.

The Turkish Governors of Braila and Silestria, seem to have received orders not to commit any hostilities against the Russians, who are advancing meantime in the Principalities, and organising them ; but they have sot yet passed the Danube at any point. The reports that have been spread to this effect are premature. They will not cross that river till about the Ist of June, when the Emperor sill have arrived, and a considerable corps will have approached Tesora. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. Juin 9.

There was a singularity in it worthy of the nuke of the Horse. Petitioners, as he was informed, expressed tbeir determina tion to support a religion settled at the Revolution. The Petition was read, and Lord ELDON expressed his con fidence that before this night's debate was over, he should be able to satisfy the House, that the otiginal Ecclesiastical Law of this country was restored and settled at the &volution. Tice Noble Lowe then presented a Petition from Cavan, Ire. bad, easiest further concessions to the Catholics. ?he Doke of GLOUCESTER presented a Petition for the Abolition of Slavery throughout the Colonies; also a Petition on the whim of Catholic Emancipation, which, from scene informa lity was withdrawn.

Lord CLI F DEN presented a Petition from the Prot esta n ts of Blown, Oxfordshire. in favour of the Catholic Claims. The Noble Lord 0111 t FVC4i, that from this Petition it would appear that light was now breaking in on all quarters. He hoped their Lord slops' House would not be the last place on which it would strike. for it it were. their Lordships would be highly discredited. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE presented a Petition pr. yi ig for a repeal of the laws affecting the Cotheinal " That it is expedient to take the Laws affecting his Majesty's Roman Catholic subject: into con.ideration, with a view to such a final and conciliatory adjustment as may conduce to the peace and strength of the United Kingdom. to the stability of the Estab lished Church. and to the concord and welfare of all classes of has Majesty's subjects." rite Marquis of LANSDOWN, in submitting his motion that their Lot dships Mould agree to the Resolu tion communicated from the C-immo.ss respecting the Laws affecting his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects, said, that when he presented the several Peti!ions which had been mitt tasted to him by the Roman Catholics, be felt that his duty to them was at an end; and that in bringing lorwatd the present questi.m L he was dischar ging a duty not to the Roman Catholics of Ireland, not to the Roman Catholics of England, but to the whole country, Protestant as well as Catholic. He would not be satisfied in proposing any measure, if he were not satisfied that his proposition would conduce to the se curity of the Protestant interests and the Protestant Establishments of the country. With this feeling he called upon their Lordships; and in the outset he begged to say, that the grounds upon which he mainly rested his proposition to them was, the broad ground of expe diency. It had been said in other quarters that we note sacrificed every thing to expediency; but he did not know ' what was to guide them in legislation but that, nor why they sat there, unless it was to adapt the laws to the, exigencies of the times. A Right Reverend Prelate had lately laid down most ably and closely the ptin e ciple upon which all restrictive laws were founded. and that principle was one of expediency al , ne; and the Right, Reverend Prelate had most properly added, that if re straints were to be imposed they were to be a Wai n/Atm, the least necessary for the accomplishment of the object. The disabilities of the Catholics, although fie quently discussed in both Houses of Parliament,presented themselves to their Lordships in a new shape. The ques tion came recommended by threesuccessive Parliaments. The Noble Marquis urged the state of Ireland upon the consideration of their Lordships; and befbre he sat down, he would show not only that the apprehension of danger, but the presence of danger existed in that country. Tt.e measure which he now recommended to their Lordships had been recommended by the most splendid eff• its and by the dying breath of the greatest Statesmen, when looking for ward to the future destinies ot their country. It was not, therefore, a new question, but it was now introduced to their Lordships in cir lcumstances which were new. It now came' before their Lordships for the third time, and with the express re commendation of the Commons of England. It would be his puipose this night to assume what would be readily granted by those who opposed him, that the feelings of atom, which had been forgotten by the people, ought also to be forgotten by the Government, and this excused him from the task of refuting the ar gument which had formerly been so much insisted on, and what was founded upon anxiety for the security of property is Ireland. Most of the property in that coun try was held by the tenure of confiscation. But the danger which had formerly been dwelt on was never maintained in the present day. And why this? It was because Catholic lawyers and Catholic merchants were now more desirous of purchasing this property than : any other. The title to it was the clearest °rainy, and I so little fear was entertained of the claims of the de. scendants of those Roman Catholics who had been the original , possessors, that it was preferred to Other pro perty, that afforded a greater prospect of litigation. They bad less dread of the Pope than of the Court of Chancery, and preferred consulting their lawyer to the taking the advice of the Confessor, oe attend ing to the prophecies of Pastorini. He now begged to call their Lordships attention to the state of Catholics in foreign countries. He knew of no coun try in which similar disqualifications to those affect ing the Roman Catholics at the Empire were in exist• mice. And let not their Lordships suppose that the acts which enforced them, however fairly engrossed in their Statute Book they might have remained for one or two centuries, were now the same as at the time they were enacted. Circumstances had changed around them, and while they fancied themselves standing upon the same spot, the ground was washes from under their feet. 'I hose searchers into Catholic hearts, and those expounders of Catholic consciences, who pretended to see what the Catholics would du in circumstances in which they were not, and would not see what they were doing in the circurnstat.ces in (which they actually were —he recommended to their consideration the words of Dr. Milner at the conclusion of his history of the Ai-. nteni..n and Calvinistic controversy. These word, were. " that neither party should be pressed with opinions or consequences which they disowned." It was of much importance to keep this principle in view in the Protestant and Catholic conttovers), and not to impute to persons opinions which they repudiate. The Noble Marquis then insisted at great length upon the situation of the Catholics in the (Joked States of Anse deprived of all influence, in cowecptence of the circuto stances in which they were placed; and a Priesthood ossessed of gteat influence, which they were bound to exercise in opposition ro the G ivernment. This state of things was monstrous and unisons - id. it was not in that House that be need show the u .efulness of an aris tocracy, of expatiate upon its influence to soften the naked hand of power, he would not say of violence, or its fitness to serve as the mild conductor of authority. Was it nor natural that in this state of thingsthey should see arise an illegitiaia'e authority, to thesuppression of l an !egiismate power ? The charter of the Catholic Association was the exclusive laws—(Hear, hear, from Lord CLIFDEN.) if put down in one place, something of the same lona would spring up in another, and the spisit to which it was indebted for its existence would never be extinguished but by equal laws. This was the aistinctive feature of the danger. But before he closed, there were two questions which were frequently asked, and which he would attempt to answer. It was asked, were they certain that by removing these disabilities, happiness and tranquillity would be restored in Ireland? And it was further, asked, what securities were to be offered for the Protestant Church ? To the first of these questions he would reply, that he never had said or thought the removal of the disabilities would at once and instantaneously produce peace, and satisfaction in Ireland; he only contended that without this all other means would be ineffectual. The evidence given before the Committee, that all the other evils of Ireland, ab senteeism, want of capital, want of confidence io the Owl, all diverged into this, as river s received tributary streams, and ultimately fell into the sea. With respect to the question of securities, he had nothing to propose until he heard what those who thought securities ne cessary required. His opinion was, that the best pos sible security was to attach their affections, and to root out the opinion that the Church of Egland was the im pediment which stood between them and justice—that it was this Church which they had to °vet pooer, and this solitary obstacle which they had to surmount. No one pretended that they could retrace their steps. l not ee the Orange witnesses before the Committee. , These, and he spoke it to their honour, admitted that, as the penal laws bad been insulficieut to keep down a and a half of Catholics, they must be still mote ineffectual to keep down seven million,. The Noble Marquis, after several other observations, concluded a very long speech by moving the Resolution. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY felt called upon, from the situation he held. to express his sentiments upon the present occasion. The Noble Marquis had brought forward a Resolution which had already received the sanction of the other House of Parliament, and which gave a pledge that the Legislature would find some means of bringing about a reconciliation with theßoman Catholics, and that those means should be such as to give stability to the Established Church, and satisfac tion to all classes of his Majesty's subjects. It be thought that this Resolution could be carried into effect with as much ease as it was proposed, he should heartily con cur in it; but when he recollected that every fresh effort to conciliate had been followed by fresh impatience and fresh disappointment, he owned he despaired of any such satisfactory adjustment being accomplished. The most opposite views of the question prevailed amongst different persons, all equally well affected to the Con stitution; and when the vast importance of the question was considered, it was not surprising that gi eat warmth and zeal, and even some degree of turbulence, was ex cited by it. In this unhappy state of t iisigs, they were called on for a display of wisdom and firmness ; and as Parliament would not, on the one hand, o ithhold from the Roman Catholics any privileges which might be conceded with safety, so neither, on the other hand, would it concede them any whidt could not be granted without danger to the Constitution. Every Govesnment, like every individual, possessed the tight of self-defence, and was justified by that right in excluding from office, whether executive or legislative, all who held opinions dangerous to the State, without such securities as might effectually guard against and prevent the stinger. This was his view of the subject, and to this view he would confine himself in the very tew observations lie had to offer to their Lordships. In the reign of Queen Eliza. beth, the policy of the Government was averse to coer cion or disqualification, and the Roman Catholics were permitted to take their places in Parliament; but at a 1 oer period, in the reign of Charles the Second,the coun try had become convinced by events of the necessity or• their exclusion, and a declaration was then insisted on, which had the effect of removing Roman Catholics from the Houses of Lords and Commons. In this state the Roman Catholics remained until the reign of King William. At that time, the laws affecting the Roman Catholcs were made more strict ; and, although during the last reign, several important relaxations had take,' place, they still remained as they had been from the time of Charles the Second, excluded from the Legis lature, and the higher offices in the State. These ex clusions he was still disposed to maintain, with no other object in view than that Which he believed was com mon to all their Lordships, however variously they might think it was to be appreciated—the maintenance of this Great Empire, and above all the maintenance of the Established Religion—(Cheers). The Archbishop of TUAM said. he felt it necessary fo offer a few observations to their Lordships. If the, question on which. th e y h a d t o d ec ide was one of mere expediency, he might be willing to leave its discussion, and even its decision, to others. But they all knew that expediency might be different from tight; and that what was right mutt be preferred to what was only ezpediest;• and before the House could venture to place persons gem and to move to some. lay be an A tremor a bottom hree and d to tbe uds, that list have Is, there. ?tiers of twelve, at .

They never propose to promote conciliation by the re moval of those wicked doctrines, which, notwithstand ing their denial, stand this day on what might be called the statute book of Popery. Was it either right or expedient to confer on them political poorer while such abominable doctrines are allowed to 'main? He was fully convinced these doctrines were at variance ith every thing ois which the Protestant Church of this country was built ; and would they place power in hands that might use it to pull down their Protestant Establishment? Could any thing be more degrading than the doctrine of the Church of Rome, which denied the right of the people to exercise their judgment, and p - ohitiits their reading the Scriptures, which -were writ ten far their instruction : ? By the 14th article of a decree of Pope Pius the Fourth,Catholics were tequited to make declaration of their obedience in the following terms— " I do admit the Holy Scriptures in the sense that the Holy Mother Church doth, whose right it, is to interpret their true meaning, and I do not admit them in say other sense." No man in that Church dares put any other interpretation on the Scriptures than what the Hoiy Mother Church c.imminds. But what says the Apos 1e?.." Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they be of (ion;" " Prove all things, hold fast that which is good;" and St. Peter, whom they pecu liarly honoured as the first Pope and Bishop of Rome, commands "Christians to be ready to give a reason of the hope that is in them ;" our Blessed LORD iays."Why even of your own selves judge ye not what is right."— The cominendation bestowed on the Bereans, "that they were mote noble than those of The:sale - mica, in that they searched the Scriptures daily sell , er these things were so." All these teats, and others, proved that the Scriptures were to be read and searched, and tried by the people. Au ecclesiastic of great eminence in the Catholic Church in Ireland says, in his evidence. on the subject of the education of the people, that there neeued no other stumbling block to prevent the success of the schools, than the Bible being read in them without note or com ment ; and that it parents sent their children to such schools they would be denied the Sacraments of the Church. The celebrated J. K. L. (Dr. Doyle), gloi ied in the act of a peasant taking a Bible in a pair of tongs, and burying it in his garden. Another Catholic Pielaie caused Bibles, which had been. distributed amongst his people, to be thrown into the river ; and another com mitted the New Testament to the flames, as unfit for the eyes of his Mick. He might he told their objecting' eras to the Protestant version of the Scrip ties; but it was to the book itself; for in many schoo:s, to remove that objection, the Catholic version, the Douay Bible, was introduced ; but the P. iests objected to that also, and the parents who sent their children to the schools were anathematised from the altar, and the Sacrament which was held essential to their final salvation was refused them. Soon after he was translated to the See of Tuam, three Gentlemen waited on him to solicit subscriptions to a Catholic School ; he told them he could not contribute to tne support of a school from which the word of GOD was exc uded; but he would provide Douay Bibles for the school, and if the children were permitted to read them, and take them homelo read them to their parents, he would become a large subscriber to the school:the con sequence of this proposal *as, that he was never after plied to; but he was told by the master and mistress of the school that the Bible was prohibited, and he he lieved the same was the case in all Carlolic schools ; be had visited many, and never found the Bible in any but one. the Right Reverend Prelate here read . a great number of quotations from the Old and New Testament, beginning with the books of Moses, going through the Prophets and Evangelists, and concluded with the last retie of the Revelations, for the purpose of proving that the people, from the beginning, were commanded to read the Set iptures, and that the Church was forbidden to add Ili or to take boas what they con tained. He would ask their Lorchhips, ',could they give power to a Church t! at, sealed that precious book from the people? By the 13th article of the decree of Pius the Fourth, all Catholics are required to declare, 0 I do admit and embrace all apostolic decrees and traditions." Under this article they must receive what was not written in the Scriptures. St. Paul says, " if we or an angel from Heaven preach any other gos pel to you, let him be accursed." But was not the sacri fice of the mass another gospel ? Was not the fire of purgatory another gospel? Was not the invocation of saints another gospel ? In Deuteronomy it. was said, is Ye shall not add to or take from what is written in the book of the law ;" and in the book of Revelation it was said, " That if any man should add to what was written in that book, GOD Weald add to his portion of everlasting fire." Was not the indulgences of the Church of Rome an addition? Was not the single life of the Ecclesiastics an addition ? and was not taking away the second commandment, and depriving the Laity of the cup in the Holy Eucharist, a taking from what was written and commanded in GOD S word? Would their Lordships venture to Rive power to a Church which had done such acts as those?— He would only trouble their Lordships with a few words on the doctrine of purgatory, which was a fertile source of power and of emolument to the Priests of rte Catholic Church. The doctrine was, that those who died in a state of unrepented, rot not mortal sin, went to purgatory, and were delivered over to the power of the Church. This doctrine strikes at the root of CHRIST'S atonement. The Holy Scriptures promise full pardon', through the death of CHRIST, to all who forsake their evil ways. Both the Old and New Testament were full of such declarations. The Right Rev. Prelate quoted a great number from each, and said he could go on for hours, in proof that the doctrine of Purgatory was a dream to them, but he would not so far intrude upon the time of their Lordships. He would say a few words on public prayer in an unitarian tongue. Car. dinal Whim* says, the ptiblic prayer offered op by -- -
