The objection of the witness was overruled.) The witness, then, in reply to tl"e— thins put to him, enumerated the individuals composing the depu Cation. At the interview with the deputation, Mr. Stoner pro. duced a paper, in the presence of s.:veral others of the Gentlemen comport* it, which he (the witness) refused to sign, beea.tsc it contained something which he thought ohjectionable. He finally signed a paper, undertaking merely to stand, and eve deputation signed one, pronii•ing to support him. The papers, be believed. were lust. They contained nothing in the sh.pe of a venni try bargain. Ile bad a general idea of what a breakfast at Penryn meant. The deputation spent the whole day with him, anr after dinner a great deal of conversation took place as to what had been done in the Borough a great while ago. Breakfasts were talked of; some said they meant 401. some 121. and some 101.— others, more or less. Nothing had been said of larger or smaller, ur single or double breakfasts. No mention had been nude of a breakfast to be given by him in the event of his being returned Ile objected to give money, or to enter into any pledge. He Cid not think he had been asked to give money. He was elected. and a few months afterwards - ousted, upon a Petition to the House of Commons, on the ground of the agreement to which he had referred. There was upon that occasion a conspiracy against hien. His whole expenses at the election did not, be believed, amount to 8,0001. or any thing like if.. Ile gave way to his opponents, and I paid their 'expenses on the investigation before the Committee of the House of Commons. This cost him about 5,0001. Ile paid 3,000/. to the Agent of Lord De Dunstanville. The reason Ihe did so was, that a person of the name of Williams bad sworn that 501. had passed through his hands from one of his (the wit. ness's) at-nts to certain voters. Mr. Williams was a very respecta ble map, arid his evidence ought not to be distrusted; but in this instance be had bees mistaken. He had been ',debut by bin' Witickwieth, a hlepitor of the Horn of Conininns, to act as be did, because he had been informed that other similar things would be sword to. 'lle had kept up his interest in Penryn from 1807 to 1812; ht:had assisted several holders of tenements in being put upon the rates ; this established their right to vote ; it might have cost him 1001. Previous to 1812, he bad lent money upon mortg le to two or three of the electors. lie had never autho rised Mr. Stoner, or any other pers.in, to advance money to any person, or had ev, r taken upon himself afterwards any sums so ad• vanced. To the best of his belief, the expense of the election of 1812 was about 5,0001, the expense of the election of 1818 was nearly about the same sum. All the votes given for him in 1806 3 1812, and lain, were, as fir as be knew, free and unbiassed, and without any money being given, or any promise of money. Mr. Stanton was next called, and deposed that he.was a candi date at the election h,r Penryn, upon which occasion his expenses amounted to a sum not exceeding 3,0001. Dues not know that any of the money it cost him was paid in any other than the usual way of electioneering expenses. He must have known if any money had been given to the voters, and he did not believe that any such thing had taken place. J. Ilapson was the next witness examined. The !timber examination of witnesses was then ordered to be resumed to morrow‘and the House adjourned at a Qv:Aimee zeroes Humes °Twice. HOUS OF COMMONS.

The first natter to the Petition was that of the Chairman of the Quarter S: sslons of War ' minster, and a Magistrate of the County of Wilts.

Honotirable - Members. He ironer those Horeorrrible Gentleinen. that it must always be 'a matt* of great regret to him,' to run the slightest risk of putting them to any ineonverrie- ce, but he shouts, not now . ttespass unnecessarily upon the tirne . of Air Houle by pointing out those reasons which influenced his conduct, and which he abstained from stating It the House wh-n called -ni of by a Noble *Lord on a' former evenilg rea,on , which mutt be obvious t the House, aril oog the is he shnul.l mention one— namely, that fit did hot• th.oi thitrk it fair tiwa-ds th( Administration •of the country to bring forward the motion at that time. liut as at bad nothing to d with the subject, he merely me ,it to cx iress his regret that the poAponement had put Honourable Member to any material inconvenience, and then proceed to it tie the ginunds upon which he men it to call upon the House to accede to the motion which he intended to make. In doing sn, lioWever, he conli not help feeling the very great difficulty which he now stood—a dif ficulty greater Claw lie had ever espe3ienced on any former occasion, oporrlnaoy accounts, 21 on accoont of the subtraction of those .gi Ind Watts, the bentfif • have in supor t ufthe j•rayei - ni the Petit fletatetition. •firtt by the trauma! by der! • Honearahle Gentleman who held the pit in his Majesty's Councils, and of a Lear Oentlernan Mho had been removed to ant He must feel - that without the assistance which were so conversant in the question, and which were exercised in advocating it, that heuras placed under ditadvantages of a peculiar nature. With respect to the Learned Gentleman' (Lord Plunkett) he had been only removed to another place, where lie hoped that this• question would still receive the no less beneficial support - of his talents, and where they would be ex ercised as much to the advantage of the Petitioners as they ever were in this House. With respect to the other Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Canning), it was matter 'to hini of unmitigated sorrow and regret, which he now felt d.eplyiddied, that by hi; loss he had been deprived•of 'the assistance of one who advocated this question 'as he dida—as the advocate of religion. He did deeply regret the loss' of that' Right Honourable Gentleman—(Hear, hear). In stating • this he had some consolation, that though politically opposed to Mr. Canning, during the greater part of his life time— though opposed frequently to him upon topics of great interest, and which were likely to excite warm feelings,- it was to him a satisfaction at this moment that their political hostility *as never debased by a feeling of private enmity—(Hear)—that it was never degraded by any envy of his talents, and that as far as it appeared to his understanding, he did justice to his merits, and pail always-to his'talents the homage of that admit a tion which they Were calculated to excite—( (•sear). must also be a conso.atlon to rho e who are dearest to that Hight Honourable •Gesitleiran; however deeply nary z might deotbse t his 165.--Lalosti hot only' to this but to the whole civilized world, which was deprived of the inatunics of his great attainments at a moment, when that loss was Most severely felt. and therefore the most deeply to be deplored. To them his loss must be considered in a public point of view ; but it must be a consolation to those nearest and dearest to him, that there was no moment at which he could be taken from this world with more advantage to his own fame and reptration, when he hot behind him a name connected with associations and expectations which produced regret throughout the civilized world. To him might be applied the words of the great Roman to his father-in-law —o 7W vero fella. Agricola, non viler tondo; charitate sed el. w oppostunitale mortis." Had the Right Hon. Gentleman toted a thousand years, he could not have found a moment to retreat from the stage of public life with greater eclat than the moment when his tame had arrived at the utmost, when it could not by possibility be put out of the reach of f inane in tine to come—(Hear). In b:inging forward th s ques tion, he was actuated•by the same spirit and feeling' which actuated that Right Hon. Gentleman, 'and he should propose, at the end of his address, a Resolution, whieti, having been enforce-I by him in farmer times, and sanctioned by a large majority of this House, cur- Ceti him to call upon the House to adopt it for the sake of its own consistency, and nut th s time-to be behind hand in liberal feeling with the test of the:civil,zed world, which is advant ng in a career f ality and justice, that is our du ytobeam ng the first to adopt. Mr. Canning was attached to the E;tablished Church of the countrj, as he a as—the sOit it in which he brought for ward the question was a spirit not•of hostility to the Cuurch, hut the same spirit in a hick he now brought it forward, in the spirit of a friend to the Es tablished Church, and with a view not to weaken, but to strengthen th .t Establi , hment, and to place it upon grounds which must put it beyond the reach of all as sailants. He might say theretoie'of •that Right Hon. Gentleman, " Though he be dead, he yet speaketh," and he should endeavour, its speaking of that subject, to speak in the same feelings and sentiments, and o nh re-' Terence to the ultima:e vie*: and objects of that Right Hon. Gentleman. He trusted that he should be con sidered as standing there not with any feelings of hos tility to the Established Church, but as one ut its mem beri; and as a man persuaded upon reason and principle that it was the best Church, and which, it he (S r F. Burdett) had a choice, he should be inclined to adojt. The Honourable Baronet having eulogised the character of Dr. South, the Head of Magdalen College, Oxford, whom he had the honour to reckon as a friend, said that what he should endeavour to make out to the House, as the case of the Petitioners, would rest upon different grounds; all and eithet of Which, if made out to the satisfaction of the House, must be conclusive in •heir favour. First of all, he was anxious to make 0.-t to tl:e csolvictirin of the House the justice of an ancient Treaty, the detOirture from which he could not help looking upon as the origin of all the evils under which the Catholics labour at this day. He considered the Treaty of Linitrick as the 8:11 of Rights bet wren the' Roman Catholics of Ireland and the people of England; and since the Right Hon. Gent. opposite (Mr. Secretary Peel) had giv. n them to understand that if what had been done had violated the rights of the - Roman Catholics, lie would be inclined now to make good the •puhlic faith, and to give them the advantage of that Tte-sty—this the , Right ft n. Gentleman 'had repeated more than once, and stated, that if a violation could be shown he would givethem the advantage Of big vote on that occiaion.— . • t . N •ve this What mike tt necessary For him to endeavnufto !Hake out that to thition ; an,l a, bekinald show, as he 'thought he•eou that all that is now asked for by- the Petitioners at the B4t of the House w is granted to them by the public 'faith of this country in the Treaty of L metick, be thought he should have done enou g h to induce every *Member i n that H ouse t o say th at. the prayer they asked should he granted. Thar being the lift& proposition, then came another not less easy to nut, the Treaty of U:ri.n between this ennetry and I eland, where solemn Iledges were given- be he people of this Count:) , 'td the people of and where those pledges had not been he measure that was then Carried' into execution wo.ild not have been adopted ; and if that meanie - Alia WAS propo,ed had not been ad red, and if an utde e endent Perliament had been still esi ting In that country, he woild put it to any-Gentleman in theliouse •n say, whetiser that independent Pttrliament could this day,have repudi tell the Petition • of these petiioners He should g.) on to show that what was t'ten asked was beet:riling of us to grant ; and if h was becoiting t o grant—if it had not be n te4ing:on eninrnon untie and sound jistice, it would still haOV6 le cfinsiderea that if any of the advantages secored•to the Roman Catholics of Ireland by the Treaty of Lfeerick had been violated, that %mild alter my vote; butt feel that nothing has been done to afford any ground for tuaviriye their disabilities•removed." Now, he W - at is ne with the Right Honourable Gentleman 'O.l this point ; and ...wild that this bad been argued by a mote cJnipe enc individual, and in a more satisfactory manner, and an able advoiate, he should have perfect confi in the result. In referring to the first article in the frac* of Limerick, he found there nese two distinct m robe; sin it--the first relat-s to the exerci s e •of religious rights ; and the second is, as it stares, for such further tech! city of the Roman Catholics as might pre,e!sie theni from any disturbance on account of their religion. Noir, he would ask this House, aisd he would put it to tie common tense of any living man to say, whether it 'is no disturbance of a s teligious rights to be de prived of all political rights t n account of his religion? Whether it is no disturbance of his religion, white that very religion is made the sole subject of disturbance, and when he is compeltd either to abanami li's religion altogethrr, or to give up all claim to his political lights and liberties? This was the &Meta y under which the Cacho ics were placed, and it was impossible to c n ceive a condition in which it was more unjust for one human being to place another, than it is to make the enjoyment of political advantages dependant upon the entire abandonment c f his religions feelings and views. The Rielet:Htenoural le Gentleman will recollect, that st ted that this Treaty related to private right and matters of property. Now the •ecood article is ve. material to be lo ked to in this respect. for it goes on to stipulate that they "should have all their privileges as they had in the reign of Charles 11. Now, he did not see how it was possible to stipule e more expressly for the enjoyment both of the private and public tights of the Roman Catholics of Ireland th n ia these terms ; nor did he conceive that these words could, under any construction, mean any thing but to provide for the political, private, and publ c rights of the Catholics.— The Treaty expressly stipulated that the Catholics should have the sari e rights and privileges as they ejoyed in the reign of Charles the Second, aid they were there fore most indubitably entitled to their political as well as to their private rights. He would now all Ode to another part of the Treaty, because it clearly showed not only the manner in which they had been depiived of their rights, but it also showed that they them elves entertained an idea of the manlier in which they might afterwards be oppressed. . 'Phis pact of the Treaty ex pressly states that the Catholics should not be obliged 'to take any other 04'h than the oath of allegiance. 'I bus 'they foresaw the means by which they might be dit garbed in the enjoyment of their privileges. He trusted that no Man in the House ss.ulcl rise up to justify the !tissue of crime, oppression, and cruelty, recruited to in the time of Que.a Anne—a tissue of clime, cruelty, ,and impolicy, which wet e to unlimited, so uniiiintto ed. Ise weak-minded, and to gloat which set the whale v 1- lanies of the would at defiance. No man could deny that these wete violatious of the treaty of Limeitt k. The Right 'Hon. Gentleman hrmstlf (Mr. Secietary Peel) could not deny that they were violations of the Tteaty. • The Right Hon. Gentleman had on a former occasion stated, that his w as not the correct construction the Treaty, and in support of his as'setttoit he re ferted to the speeches made by an eminent induriaual at the Bar of the lush House of Corna.ons ; end fe cause that great man, in his defence of the rights and privileges of the Catholics, had not insisted that the Treaty had been violated, he contended that, thei elm e, this construction of the Treaty was the correct one, and that it applied to their rights of private property, and not to their political list/U. But they were at issul upon this point, though even hid it happened that that great man had not argued that the Treaty had been violated, still with him that would not have been conclusive; for the words of the Treaty stand immutable. Wh et, he asked, was so natural, as that a lawyer, when pleading upon matters relative to the violation of private pro perty, should not travel out of his way to discuss points which were' not immediately applicable to the sub ject? But he did take the opportunity, and he•not only entered into a vindication of the rights of property, but he also enlarged upon the infringements of the Treaty. and the violations of the political tights or his Cathol c countrymen.' He thought the Right lion. Gentleman must now agree with him, that he had been mistaken in thinking that that great man did not argue the ques tion in its relation to public weal, 'as well as to private right. He had heard it often repeated, acid remarked, that the Catholics were now insidiously pretending to have a feeling in layout Of the Protestants. It unlm tunately happened that the Catholics weietob generally judged by the misieliresenfations of their enemies. But when the facts are looked into, those misreiresentations are ditected;_and the calumniatej'Catholics were raised in the holiest estimation of those who judge them fairly, and 'the virulent 'calumnies of their opponents were aillecralray; (The aim. •ftuonet then quoted some . .
