Lord GRENVILLE, agreeably to the notice lie had given on a former day, prefented the Petition from the Roman Catholics of Ireland, praying for relief from the difabilities under which they at pre fent labour. He moved, That the Petition be read ; which being accordingly done by the Clerk at the Table, bislArdthip laid, that at he had intimated on a former night, it was not his intention now to fay any thing which could at . all lead to a difeuffinn on the fubjea contained in the Petition. Mlle meant at prefent to move was, that the Petition do lie on the Table, it being his.intention to take a future op portunity, when their Lordfhipe Ihould have had lei fure•M weigh a lincniett of fo great importance, to m ov e that the Petition be taken into &traier oath deration, for the purpore of granting the Petitioners that relief which they claimed from the juftice of the Houle. • Lord AUCKLAND role, not, he (aid,' to object On the motion of the Noble Lord, tii.;t the Petition do lie on the Table, tiut Inertly to Rats-that when it mould come on for confideration, he biped it vrotild receive that feria= and fobrino,difculatin which its importance to the political and religious etiflence of the, kingdom In general Teemed tp.oall for. He had Hauled with every poffible 'attention to the Pc/Mien, and he declared himfelf at this moment free io con refs that he could by no means concur in granting to the Petitioners there privileges and immunities which they required, even taking the flatements in. their Pt tition to be as 'they would reprefent them. If he at all underßood the requelt of the Petitioners it amount ed to this, that while we continued to have a Protcf tant King and a Protellant Church, wz might have Roman. Catholic Legiflators. This was a doetine Which he was not prepared to go •iiito. The fame sittachment which he all along felt for the efiablifked Government of this country in Church and State, taught him that thefe were not times for rifking any innovation or change in either. He wilhed the bull— nefs had not been brought forward, and- thought it 'would have been better for all parties that things bad been allowed to remain as they were. I Lord GRENVILLE affured the Noble' Lord that fo firsts Jay, with hiti the bufinefs fltould be difaired, with all that folemnity and decorum which its im portanee meriteit, , ,Lord HAVerrIPUIT,YRY fah], that be could by so, weans - able& is the. motion of the Noble Letd, that the .

The prefent Petition„ o far as he could hear it, was fo tonceived, and their Lordfhips were therefore called on to entertain it. On the merits of the Fetitioti, however; he entirely concujxed with the Noble LOrd alto (poke lea, and if it was tte intention of the Noble Baron ofpofite,• to move that.the Peti don' Should be taken into eonfideratien with the qiEw of granting the Various prayers of'it; he Should, receiving proper notice of the dayivlien Mat-hornier, was propofed to be brought forward,be prepiled fo l Rate his reafons for thinking that the defire of the Pe tition could not be complied with. - •• • Lord GRENVILLE in referemiktO what hadiril ' len from the Noble •Lord who had tat- fat down, as 'if he doubted the intention. of him Lord Grenville) to move for any difcuffion on the Petition, affuredthat Noble Lord, that filch was his gist? determination. To do fo however, with that temper and. folemnity which had been recommended by the other Noble Lord who had fpoken, he thought it proper to delay thofc arguments which he had to adduce in fupport of the Petition till its merits came fairly before their Lord. (hips. Of the time which he Should propofe fcr that difculfinn, he Should give ample intimation to the Route. " The Petition was then ordered to lie on the Table , The Duke of NORFOLK could not forbear ex prelfi Lords, ng his furprife that any Noble particu larly one who held a high place in his Majefiy's Coon . eils, .fhould have thought it proper in fo important a bufinefs, and one in which fo numerous a clafs of the inhabitants of one pan of the United Kingdum were interefied, fo far as their opinion could go, to pi e -1 judge the quefiiontefore it had been rainy tried..- As the Petition was of confiderable length, and em braced a great variety of topics, he thought it his duty to move,, for the better information of their Lordfhips, that the Petition be printed. - If he was not fupported in his motion by any precedent in his favour, he prefumed that there was no regulation of the Houle againll what: he now propofed. The LORD,CH4NCELLOR having fined that the motion was not agreeable to the praqice of the Houle, the mbtion of the Noble Duke was negatived. NAVAL mum's.

Earl Darnley thell moved, that the Order for commoning the Houk for to morrow be dirt: barged, and do nand for Friday— Ordered. fdr from being fatisfied that the linnfe had not pro ceeded regularly in this [runners i but, at the fame time, he was not on the other hand reedy to fay that fame queftions, either of the nature of th. , fc firma ed by the Noble Lord, or fame others r. hich might be formed, might not with propriety h.: Cubmatted for the confederation of the Judges. The queftion was of :he highea importance, and he wi( h ed that t h e H in di should proceed with every degree of eir eumfpeainn, but at the fame time of refped to its own proceeding.. .461 d GRENVILLE did not °bled to the delay, but thought it rather furprifing that fuch a fuggeflion fhould have come from the Noble and Learned Lord, after what had fallen from him on a former night, The N.ohle and Learned Lord, be was happy to un derfland, had been looking into precedents, and would find, notwithflanding what he had formerly raid, that fome Inch were to be found. His Lord+. then alluded to two—one in the time of Lord Clarendon, where the Houfe bad proceeded as it had done inthe prefent cafe, and on applying for the opi. nion of the Judges, retraced the deps they had taken. The other was a cafe in the year 160, which- was elf° a cafe diredly in point. Lord HAWSESBLJRY combated the opinion of Lord Grenville on the general principle ; and main. tained, that though the Houfe might be formally wrong, it was ofientially right in the mode of pm / ceeding it had adopted. • Lord Grenville, the Lord Chancellor, and Laid Auckland, feverally explained. r Lord ELLENBOROUGH obferved,., that quettion of removal was not then before their.

But it was evident that, according to law, a Judge might be removed from his office upon in Ad. drets of both Houfks of Parliament, notwithaanding it was equally clear that he could,not be removed by an Addrefs of the two Bodies of the Legifiature. So fir he could plainly fee that the Addrefs mull of ne. ceffity precede, the Removal ; bin the queftiog which was then before their Lordfhips was, what was in point of form to precede the Addrefs '1 The mode of proceeding by Fieri Facia: in the Courts below would have been free from that admixture of paffions which the confiderationof a variety of circu`mflances might lead to in other places, but from the operation of which, he was‘happy to fay, the Courts to which he alluded were entittlyfree. He was very much obliged to the Noble Baron (Lord Grenville) for the pates which he bad taken to enlighten the Houfe upon the fubjeel ; but though he , did not know on what autho iity his Lordfhip cited the cafe which he had men tioned to the Honfe, he miter obfervethat it appear ed to his recollealon that in fome books the cafe was very imperfealy reported. At all events, .the quef, tion which was now before the - Hon& appeared to him to be of fuch magnitude, and the arguments which had been Urged by the Noble Lord had fuch weight upon his mend; that he thought it would be inoft - edvifable for their Ldrdfhips to pofipone the eanaderatioo of the quellion until this day fe'nnight, as had ,been propofed by the Noble and I t eataed • Lord upon the Woolfack.

" Sias—The ideas which I with to &bout to your Majefty, relate to your Majefty's deareft affeaions, as well as to the molt important iatereils of the Em.

" For feveral months the eyes of all Europe have been fixed upon Italy. Great recolleetions, a con !holed reties of misfortunes, and the iromenfe glory which your Majetly has 'acquired there, attach all minds to its deft toy. They tick themfelves, if the lot of this great minify, which' fo long ruled the world, and which twee the time that it has declined from its ancient grandeur, from age to, age, has become the (cene and the inftrument of general ambition, (lipoid at length be decided.' From every port we hear the generous with expreffed, that Italy should derive, from the honour , of having decided the fate of the lafl war, the unexpected advantage to exift by biotin . ; to condo& hertill by'the maxims of an independent !Otero of politics t in fail, to remain for ever a granger to-the quarrelsothe mifunderflandings, and the jealoufy of the great powers. " Sire, under a reign like yours, all tbofe conjec tures which are united to jolt and great things, are only the prefages and forerunners of the great de iigns of the fovcreign. Italy, its intereft and its wants, have always been the objets of yoqr care, and it may he confidently announced, that the lot which you deltined to her, will anfwer all thehopea that fhe could•fortn, when, at the-conch:lion of your glorious vietories, the, the firft among all the nations, proclaimed her admiration and hergratitude, and exprefkd her willies to you to attach &del( for ever to your great defliny. 1 0 It was in consequence of this with, to:often re• peated, chit twenty nations united, eager to conso lidate their liberty, and to lanai(' their obedience, by the folernnity of a public act, received at Lyons a common organization, and conferred on your Ma jelly the office of First Magiltrate. This intlitution, undefineclin• its denomination, and unlimited as to its duration, only ferved to unite the Interens and the affections, and to allay the nneafinefs of the moment. But if the organization of France tad. permitted to thofe people to open themfelves without referee, with refpea' to the Government which they preferred, then they would have expelled to your Majefty all that which, fince the foundation of the empire, the 'ltalian army, the Contlituted Authorities, and nu merous affemblies of intelligent and.colightened Ci tizens, have unanimoufly explained in their addreffes —that even if the hereditary fyftem had not been eftablithed in France, the numbers, the diverfitp . the jealoufy, the wealtnefs, the habits, and the opinions .of„ the people who inhabit Italy, would there reader its efiablinunent indirpenfable."

The reprefentations put into the mouths of the Italians thus conclude :3 " If. from there confiderations we proceed to thofe which are offered by foreign politics, the danger be comes more preffing. A French armj occupies the State of Naples, where it ha's nothing to do : it re• mains there to obferve an Englifh army which occu- pies Malta, and a Ruffian army, which is', perhaps, only kept up in the lonian Ifles to obferve the French army.
