Was the H o. harshly :Baronet (Sir Francis Ilurdett), prepared to aim any sentinel'?- He told them last night be was not, and treated all tematity as a matter net of the least imponance—of no mote value than the amulet euspended from the neck of a child. He even brought ft to the level of the horae.alses nailed to the pea sant's door, for the purpose of averting some undefined evil. These were the sentiments of the Hon. Baronet. He, however (Mr. Se emery Peens tntertarmed very different opinions, and attached moth More importance tithe principle of security. No security' which bad 'hitherto been of f ered at any time appeared to him sum. deot to Meer the consequeoces which must arise from such a change. It must be .rat dented that in ether countries, where the ruling toner was Pfhtestant, the Roman Catholic religion was incorpo rated With the sate. Take Prussia, for instance; there the Ito. nisi/Catholic religion was so far a part of the State, that the Crown bad i cempkte and full dominion in Milesiastical matters. •The Bkholgies were endowed by the State; Bishops appointed. and Provision. made for the education of she people. without say biter. fete rte On the part of the Pope. Any web security as this, even If attainable hen weak' still, if die present restrktions were ri mmed, be produ ctive of 8o much distrust, si;aptch uneasiness, as would fr,Attlaq temporary good that might tie obtained a very deer purchase. Even if the Roman Catholic Religion could be placed here Is the same relation to the State as in Prussia. it must atillbe the scarce of perpetual struggle and discontent. The partial naldislinent of the Catholic Religion *Mist necessarily lead to an winesing neatest for superiority, and thus produce, in an increased degree, that religious animosity which he considered as the greatest eutmlivith which any country could be afflicted. In the tare of Ha nover also, a similar power belonged intim King of England, with respect tothe appointment of Romap Catholic Bhhims. No country therefore in Europe was placed in a situation similar arthatin which the Honourable Baronet proposed to place this. Though thti Might have no feats of she Pope or the Pretender, 'stash was not to be forgotten that the Roman Catholic religion es.rcised a mere ceosiderahte haven= on civil society. Ile must say therefore, that the alteration proposed by the motion had a necessary ten dency to destroy what had been proposed and secured by the Re voludeorthe Ptotestaat elterectecef the Constitution. That Pro. entallt.tharacter timid no longeeqxist, if the Legislature and the high.olliees of State were to be disown open to Roman Cetholica:-. (Hear, bear). In such a sea of thingi as that contemplated by the motion, the King might be 'dated th is situation of seeing In Par liament Roman saaolin; eshe:ltad risen to estimate by their abilities, who by their sitniceti had rendered themeless eligible to poplar I and then mother question would naturally arise in the of the Sovereign, whether be should appoint them to oace? Mitt was clear, midst be; source of perpetual embarrassment on oat ; and nettle o th er.of thetdiscoutent which naturally arose from the disappointment of linpes. He beard it sometimes observed, and be must say wick eurpri.e, thin there existed but little difference between the Roman Catholic religion and the pure tenets of their • own Church—(Hrier !) He could liana, without impatience, to the arguments against making difference of religion the ground of ex. dada); but he must say that when told of the little difference be moan the Cathcak•and Protestant religion it gave him some Gor r*. It the Catholics, it was• said, bad their confession and atm.- Itithet,•the Protestants too had their form of absolution; if the Catlike * , bad their artidel of faith, the Protestants bad their Atka. d badge geoid. If; in truth, there existed so trifling• a difference 1 beennelitheta, his fears, in place of being diminished,were increased, preportirm as he beard it argued, that the difference between tie Catholic Church and the pure faith they profeased was small,- tle hold the Hon. Baronet say last night, that the difference was sept great; that the - Protest a n t reli g ion was partly Catholic, pertly Lutheran, partly Othinistic. . However it might be coins Fool, the difference was great and essential. The very word Pro. teams Implied dissent from the corruptions of the Church of Rome 7 .olipar !)

He did tat 4 sties* to deny the evils connected with exclesioti ;but the alternative, theta admitthie Catholics to place and pewer,was pregnant with far goidet Mischiefs. Them were, it was sald, fle six mit lions of Raman Catholics in Irelands and GMT four er Eye o red thoesaad Ptotestatits. He did not believe the disproportion was so great...- Whew it was proposed to gnat civil akin alike to Protestant. and Catholic. it became very natural to inquire bow the Catholics used the mower* they already possessed? What were the declarations that body who were sopposed to speak their sentiments? What Wen the declarations of their Prints ? What hope did their ma.

Notwithstanding the high authorities which were opposed to him —notwithstanding the balanced state of parties in .that House upon this great (peados, he must conclude by saying, that in his view they would best discharge their duty by epposiug the motion of the Hoe. Baronet, and allowing Roman Catholics still to remain precisely on the same footing—(Continued cheers). Lord W. PAGET said, that be felt himself bound to support the Hon. Baronet's•rnotion—(Hear). He was persuaded that if the Catholics of Ireland were placed on a footing of equality with their Protestant brethren, they would speedily forget and forgive all the injuries which they bad endured, and would exhibit as much loyalty and good conduct as any other class of the community. • ' Mr. M. FITZGERA LI) rose to explain He stared that Lord .CorewsUis had communicated to him, that the tease.) of Mr. Pitt's having delivered to him his papers was a desire that they should be imparted to the people.of Ireland. When Mrs Pitt resigned, it was his expressed wish that office .should be' retained by all his (rleuds who were favourable to Catholic Emancipation. • Mr. PEEL explained. He never meant 'to convey the slightest imputation against the Hon. 'Member: The Administrative of sir. Pitt had not retired on account of any pledge given to the Catho lics. They retired because they could not carry a measure which they deemed essential to the interests of the counter. Mr. BROW N LOW was not without a hope that the 'question was susceptible of a lavourable adjustment. The Right lion. Gentleman opposite was very ready to discuss what the Treaty of Limerick meant, but he was Jess ready to determine .whit the ex. isting state of the country required with 'reipect to Catholics. It might be interesting tohnow what had been the views of Mr. Pitt and Lord Cornwallis with respect to Ireland; but it was far more important to understand what the Cabinet of the present day were disposed to do for the Catholic population of Ireland. The propo sition of the Hon. Baronet affected the'intetests of seven millions of people, who came before the House, praying to be admitted to equal tights with the rest of their fellow subjects. He never could admit that there was soy thing unconstitutional in-the ease which the Peti. timers brought before tho laise. The Solicitor Gene: al had said that it was the duty of Govelement to protect itself against all hostile opinions; hot bad be established any reason why • the Roman Catholics could not be plated wan an equal footing.with the test of t he community? Why was the existing system veexclusion to be continued! No man bad asserted. in the 'course of the debate that the Catbilies now held a divided allegiahce ; but Lord Liver pool had said that Ireland was a place whet* the liberties and the . glory of England could he overthrown. It bad been said, that the King gave a divided affec;ipn to Ireland, and that Itelaed gave but • half its affections to the Kiel; that in Ireland' every subject was a traitor, and that there the King was alyrant. He bad heard nothing* of the sort this night ; but it this were net the case, the present Was a, opmeen of religious persecution. It was impossible for any person iliminanse from Ireland to eaplain the state of that country. If the Heim thought the present to be the cause'Of *few orators and poli ticians they were much mistaken, and by their mutate they would only make the danger greater. • Catholic Emancipation was the popular hope of Ireland; and,like all other popular hopes, it was impatient. of delay and ceutrailictiou. , In 1809. Lord W ellesley had been sent to Madrid to mediate between Spain and her Colo nies. Spain bad refused to hear the just Complaints of her Colo nists; and she had lust her most valuable posiessions." This ought to be a warning to other countries. The Mouse ought to recolleet, that the Catholics were a body rapidly increasing in numbers.,as well as in wealth and power. There had beep repeated decisious of the House in their favour, and there was no reason why the . House should now reverse its former judgments: . It was ha possible to settle the question except by the wisdom of conces sion, aii4 by identifying she views of Great Weide with the interests' Of the Irith ,people--(Cries of Question). He would say, that the British Constitution did not alit 11 n 'related, for the Irish lived tinder , the Catholic 'Associatioo,and 'Me Cabo he Priesthood of Ireland and the • lititiek Constitution was there tumbling to pieces. It was,neceseary to do something for the PODUIRIIBO in that country; for whilst the mewed hostility existed between the two sects, it was impistaible teethe Protestants to re side any hanger in Ireland. 'De Protestanta had been made the poi children of she coeiimbeity ; and like all other pet children, they were tinted by great envy, sad by the barred vf the community. ••410 cared not whether this measure would be received by the Ito. nasn Catholics as a boon or not. When a law was proposed to punialt Cut-throats, did our man - ever Mil* of saying to the culprit, pray is Pe reit pleasure that for your misconduct you come forth be hangede—(Hear, bear). Let that House do Its duty, and Oft= such. laws as they, thought most beneficial to the interests of the country, and then let those who contravene them be punished as they deserved.—(Hear, bear, bear). 'This Measure was not a Riff of Pares and ?realties, but a Concession to his Catholic coun trymen, and be was quite sure that it would be received by them as such—if it watenot, he could not belp,it. That House could not treat the. Roman Catholics of Ireland as a separate body.— It was their duty, as Members of the Legislature to act upon their own judgment—to provide such laws as would be st conduce to the security and happiness of the empire at large. Should they find those laws infringed by the, Bateau Catholics, let the guilty persons be punished It was with these records that be was prepared to go into the Committee proposed bi the Honourable Baronet. He maintained, Mit if they dealt openly, hilly, and generously with the Roman Catholics, they wield And them loyal and grateful subjects. Hitherto the remedies proposed had tallest, and why ? because they had proceeded only by halves. That m a d e of remedying the evil would never succeed ; they must root out the cancer, withoit alluwibg a single fibre to remain, or else they would do• nothing. They must repeal the Penal Code ; they must shake off the frag ment of chains which still bung about the limbs of the Irish Catbo. lies. 1 Whien .tbey . did this, they, would find that body as much attached to the Law, as loyal to the King, hod as ready to uphold the British Constitution as any other class of his Majesty's subjects. The cries of " Question"• and 4 . Adjourn" were now renewed, and continued for-some time. In the midst of ;bent • • lira W. LA MB rose. Heolmerved that the situation which be nod, and t h e opinions which be had before given on this subject, obliged hint to say a few words, but be would trespass only tOr a short time on the attention of the •House. Considering the tie curtestancee in which we were placed, the state of education in the thestry, and the state of Europe generally, be. was relieved from , rho necessity of adverting to many points of the argument which bail been heretofore used. He would admit the truth of great 1 part of what bad fallen hem hie Right Hon. Friend as to the state of feeling in Ireland. He would admit much of what had ham said of the Catholic Clergy of that country ; but he denied the *inclusion to which his Right peen. Friend had come. All. thee:vile which bad been alluded to would be increased and aggra. vatted by the refusal to concede this trestion:—(Hear, bear). He admitted the danger, but it would only be increased by delay.... (Hear, bear). Ours was a popular and democratical government, and. all disabilities affecting a large portion of the people would serve only to weaken and injure the' State. , The worst sails in such a government Would be divide° and disunion. - This was the natural disease of such a government, which it ought so be the duty of a wise Legislature to prevent. They should avoid by every Weans any measures which would tend to raise the flag of discontent, and arm the popular demagogue. He might admit that*ere would be some anomalies in the measure of relief proposed, but a r was prepared to admit them—he was ready to admit there was evegoome risk, but that risk should be encountered, for the sake of a *gait which would, as he contended, produces, great national good. The Right Hun. Gentleman then went on to contend, that even if the . Awe of the proposed measure Mould be to, enable the Catholics of Ireland se return some thirty or forty Catholic Members to Parliament, ' and that was the very utmost that veld be calculated en at any time there could be no danger from thief supposed union. They might have a community of feeling in sums puns, but like all others they would be dwided .by local interests, and could not be expected to act unitormly as a body to carry any point against the I Government, or to force it to any particular measure. Thole case of the Members for Scotland was a proof of this, foe, though of different religion fawn Mat of the Established Church . 1 of England, and though - feats had been .enterialued of their hostility. they had never attempted any measure injurious to that establishment: As to the argument, that if the Catholic Free-, hinders of Ireland 410 sot find Catholics to their mind, they might elect others who would art as they withal, he would say that they could do that at the present moment. The Right Honourable 1 Gentleman, after imagines on the ebsurdity• of supped". that Parliament could be hammed by any 'seance from say fatter, went on to paint out rho necessity 4 not 4alaybit the reposed /MOOR.
