THE MARQUIS CAMDEN. The Earl of LwEapooi. rose to move the second reading of the Bill for appropriating to the public service, the very large portion of his emollanenui as a Teller of the Exchequer, volen belly relinquished by the above distinguished Noblemen. The Noble Minister, nu introducing hts motion. described to their „ileriliabips the circumstance, which gave rise to the measure i•ew before them; and detailed the sacrifices made from titre to tine by the Marquis Camden, of dinrent proportions of his errvle, meats since the year 1798. until the period of his proposing that his office should be placed on the reactva footing of the regula ted Tellerships of the Exchequer, which in the whole he was, certain were not over-rated at an aggregate of not less than £lOO,OOO. In the course of these expositions, the Noble Minis ter pronounced an eloquent eulogium on the unparalleled pa. triotism and disinterestedness of the Marquis Camden'a conduct on the occasion. Before he sat down he could not avoid, he said, adverting to the very disinterested conduct of a late Noble Marquis (Buckingham) who held I similar office, and who had acted nith respect to his Tellership also in a most noble and dis interested manner. The sacrifices made by that Noble Marquis may well be calculated at not less than £40,000. He then con cluded by tr.ovir.g, " That the Bill be read the second time." The Marquis of LANSDOWNE tails the opportunity of rendering his tribute of applause, and that of the Noble Lords at his side of the House, to the very disinterested and patriotic conduct of the Noble Marquises in question, which, he trusted, by affording such striking examples of public spirit and liberality, would in Its effects prove still more advantageous to the country. It was an act highly useful, hot only as it went to dimlilsh the public barthens, but as setting a noble example of disinterested patriotism to others, who might be similarly situated: Ile also fully agreed in what the Noble Eirl had said of the other Nuble Marquis. The Bill was then read the second time, and committed for to-morrow. publi,hed in One Vol. Evo. prire Iot. 6d. boards, 4 ... 4 from Dr.JAMES GREGORY, ofEdin drfrnee of his Essay on the ditrzrenee of the re- Motive and Aetion,and that of Cause and Effect ib Replies, ;he Rev.

VALE ,I.vi• .:,-PENCI . ..1 il' 1 1 ' 1; il l I I I ' t ; ;i ' I t li 3 i , 1 ( The Order of the Day upon which their Lordships were summoned being reed; Earl GREY rose. He observed, that after wtat he hid stated as to the nature and object of the pro- - position now before the House, the extreme reason ableness of its object, and the way in which it had been adverted to in former discussions, he had flat. tcred himself that it would not now meet with atry serious or determined resistence, especially as he must contend, that the question referred merely to dogmatical opinions or speculative doctrines. It now became necessary for him to address their Lordships at greater length upon the subject. The Bill before them went to the abrogation of the Acts cif the 25th and 90th of Charles 11. which required the taking of certain oaths previous to the admission of inaivi, uals into (Aces or to seats in Parliament. He begged their Lordships' attention to the state of the times in whiCh those Acts- were passed. The Sovereign then: npon the Throne was suspected of being a Roman Catho lic, the Queen was avowedly one, and the Successor to the Crown, the then Duke cf York, had recently embraced the Papal religion. The Royal Excheqtier had recently been shut, and the penal laws with re spect to Non-conformists were sespended, in open defiance of positive Acts of Parliament. A camp was formed at the time at Blackheath, under the Duke of Schimberg, and the nee;ority of the OtEcen of the Army, under him, were Roman Catholics, and a war was declared against the only Protestant State then in Europe, namely'. Holland. Under such extra ordinary and eventful circumstances, the Test Acts wt. passed. The Parliament had assembled amidst all the agitation produced by the Popish plot, and the conduct of Bedlce, Oates, and such others, and the mysterious murder of Sir Edmondshurg Godfrey. Under such circumstances, the voice of is nth or rea son could but little avail ; every Raman Catholic was regarded either as a conspirator or an incee diary ; and under such a state cf things, the obnoti ous Acts were passed. Their Lerd.hips must he pCr fectly well aware how widely different were the pre sent times and circumstances from such a state of things, and how little could apply the grand elec tion urged against the Catholks, nemeiy, the fearof foreign political connexion, to such a measure as that before the Mouse. They should consis:er the solemn and repeated declarations made by the Catholics against all those principles under which they were supposed to be hostile to the present form of Go vernment or Constitutioa in this country. Their willingness to give any security shish could be de vised, in the shape of oaths, saving to themselves merely the exercise of their own religion, should be considered. In the proposes( measure spiritual con siderations merely were involved ; it was entirely separate from temporal concerns. The doctrines it referred to were merely spiritual, and could not be a ground for their exclusion from civil office; and he would ask upon what principle they could refuse the present measure, when there remained as a security the Oath of Supremacy, which went to renounce not only the temporal but the spiritual power of the Pope? He hoped he should not be called upon to contend that it wan not proper to continue the religious tests withont a strong political necessity being shewn.-- It was by no means necessary to revile as well ai to exclude the Catholics and other Dissenters from the benefits of the Constitution. He must deprecate not only the tenor but the language of those oaths, which he flied were too often taken without adequate at tention to what they contained. Were the doctaines of certain other religions persuasions to be esamined, they would, perhaps, be found fully as objectionable as those of the Catholics. On their differences, only one Beitto, All-wise and All-powerful, could decide. The Lutherans had their Consubstantiation as well as the Catholics their Transubstantiation, and we should learn to judge more charitably with respect to the feelings or doctrines of other denominations of Chris tians. The Noble Earl referred to the doctrines laid down by Archbishop Wake. Bishops Warburton and Headley, Sir William Temple, and other eminent ITheological writers, in support of what he advanced. He adverted to the circumstance of the Bill, which went nearly, if not fully, as far as the present, in its effect—that for the admission of Catholic Officers into the Army, which received the approbation of their Lordchipe even without debate or inquiry, when introduced by Noble Lords opposite ; and they now saw the intended fate of a similar meer:ure when it came frem the hands of different ,persons ; though he was led to hope, from that measure, that the spirit of opposition upon such 'grounds was doer away. Ile then alluded to certain Resolutions enter ed into at a recent 'eleeting, held for the purpose of giving opposition to the present Bill, some of which were drawn up in such a style as would induce him to suppose the Noble and Learned Lord on the Wool sack was concerned in their formatton.. To the first of these, namely, that the British Constitution should be preserved essentially and fundamentally Prete. cant, no man could more zealously subscribe then. himself. The Bill in question went not at all to affect the Protestant Constitution of the realm. In Rome itself, he observed, the Protestant Religion was now freely tolerated. In every Christian coun try, he contended, unlawful oaths were held not to be binding, and it wash calumny to ascribe that dogma to the Catholics exchoively ; as fully was it unfounded to assert they hold that no faith should be kept with Heretics. Mach stress was laid upon a part of the Popes conduct, while in the power ef the late Emperor of France, namely, what wag said respecting his distinction between active and passive allegiance; by the latter, that Prelate merely meant to authorise his ste-jects to afford a temporary alle giance to a Power which they could nr that part of his conduct evidently pi constraint. The Catholics, he must sa. to be as folly observant of oaths as STATE OP THE ROYAL NAVY. The Earl of DARNLEY, pursuant to his late no tice, rose to address the House on the subject. The Noble Earl did not, generally speaking, impugn the present state and condition of the Noyal Navy ; on the contrary, he thought when its increased state was considered, that the British Navy was never so effi cient in any former perioil of peace. This important branch of our national defence ought to be anxiously attended to, and in this view he could not avoid ren dering justice to the cam and assiduity of the Noble Viscount opposite ; and his Lordship also favourably noticed the meritorious services of Mr. Seppiag, with respect to the improved state of the Royal Navy.-- flier could not, however, shut their eyes against the [ probability of future contests, and the situation in which the country was left by the late war, should render the Navy an object of still more anxious at tention. The Noble Earl then adverted, in some de tail, to the exertions made by the United States of America, towards the improvement and extension of their navy ; and he thought a degree of correspon dent exertion, on the part of this country, should be made to counteract or cope with such an increase of force. Not that he doubted the intrepidity of Bri tish seamen. He seemed to think, though he would not recommend the building Of vessels on the very large scale recently adopted in the United States, that some description Of vessels of a medium force between those we were already possessed of in the corresponding rates, and those latterly constructed in America, should be prepared in this country ; and on this point his Lordship entered into some detailed description. Throughout the whole, however, he thought a system of rigid economy should be adop ted, and care at the same time taken, that a supply of seamen should be ready, with reference to the event of a sudden tnrn. When the papers before the House' should be printed, the necessity of attending to the suggestions he threw out, would more clearly ap pear. The state of that meritorious corps, the Royal Marines, was a consideration also that called for the serious attention of Ministers ; and he trusted his thus calling the attention of Noble Lords to these points, to which he was induced by no consideration of hostility whatever, would be productive of salutary results, with a view to this most important branch of the public service. The Noble Earl concluded by moving, that the Papers relative to the subject now before the House, be printed.
