Nol , he (Mr. Peel) would nik, if the sentiments conveyed in the Add* ess to Mr. Hamilton It wan eete to be raj posed general amongst the six millions of Itish Catholics, what was tl'et e which could convince the Pt otestants of Ireland, or of England, that there was no danger to be ap pi ehersded from a body who, on the same day that it had recommended the necessity of a large and ge ne, al subscription—on the same day that they had spoken' e f the hatred to Orangemen, had voted arch an rt.:dress to an attainted traitor ?—(Cheers). Vas it at ail an exaggeration to call such an act suspi e:ou-, or to look with distiust, and even alarm, upon those who adorted it? He would call upon those nho had condemned the Constitutional Association, whe ther they v. (arid, alter what be had read, say that it was for the interest of the Romani Catholics that their affairs should be con.'ucted by such a body? Was it for the interests of Ireland that such an Association should be asters e.l to exit? No sophistry could justify the acts of such a body: Would the Hots. Member' for Knares-, bormi,-;11 (Sir .1. Mackintosh), the public professor of a public institution, attempt to justify such a proceeding in aid of civil - liberty ? The House were told of the pleat numbers and respectability of the Association. It was said to consist of Catholic Prelates, Pre.s, and Baronets—ol many Protestants of noble families, and great posses ions—of many distieguished mem bers ef high and le.oned professions—of commercial" men of g: eat wealth :red character—of country get„ demon, I arme;s, traders , and substantial citizens."! lie would not deny tac greet restwetehility of many persons cosh sleeted the Aseociaiimi hut be would ask. was not such a body. with such power and irfloener, one of the worst calculated l to conduct prosecution-in Ireland? Ile'would contend, that when the conduct of particular individuals, which might be considered obit ctionaLle, was thus publicly discussed, with a view to subse qnent prosecution, it was almost impossible to look for an impar tial trial. It was nut iu any private sue wises of his own, but in the recorded acts of the Association, that he looked for grounds for passing this Bill ; and feeling that be was not making out a case for Parliament, but acting upon grounds that were strictly parlia mentary, hr should, with that coillideoce which the sense of right always inspired, give his vote most conscientiously against hearing the Petitioners at their bar—(,olld cheering). Mr. C. 11. HUTCHINSON said he had frequently in that Ilouse objected to the ire egularity of mentioning the names of individuals. The Right Honourable Gentleman had named Haniiiton Rowan. -He did not know a more respectable Gentleman in Ireland. lie did not stand ten ward the advocate of traitors pro swatted by the Government, but certainly some of the United Irish men were most respectable characters. The object of the pen- Caner§ was to be he ad at the bar, and his opinion was, that they oneht to he allowed to give an answer to the House ou the charges preferred against them in the Speech from the Throne. They had been told at the ()talon that they might expect justice from Parlia ment, and justice they ought to have. The House should pause, before they refused the deli gates of six millions of Catholics the privilege of being heard. It wes an insult to the Catholics to rebise t t hear them. His hope was, that the Right I Immutable Gentle man would let all men go to Heaven their own way. Mt. Secretary PEEL explained. foe Hon. Gen-J tleman bed said he (Mr. Peel) insulted the Catholics of Ireland. Nothing he had uttered could warrant that observation. The Hon. 1. C. CLARKE, (the Member for Kil kenny,) said he tl ought Ireland would be perfectly tranquil, except for the Catholic Association. which produced, not actual disturb ance, hut agitation. Ile would support the Bill s and vote against the Pentium Sit J. SEBRIGHT was asliatred, that at this time cr day the Ilouse should be discussing a question wising out of their own prejudices. Ile believed in his ean,cience that the Ca tholics of Ireland had done nothing which every man who heard him would not have been priud to have done. He should there fore support the motion of his (.earned Friend, to give the Catho lics an opportunity of being beard in their own defence. Mt. :SCARLET!' delem!:• , ..l the con4stency of the cpinities be had formerly given on the Coretitutional Association, and the supeurt which he had prepared to give to the motion of his Hon. :led Learned Friend. ileeped never contended that the Con stitutional Association was illegal, but that it was not consistent with the practice and spirit of our Lew. It was one of the most de licate function, of a free Government to judge what species of poli tical t ffoices should be prosecuted and what be suffered to pass without censure. A libel which affected nu individual, but which affected the State, such a prosecution did not belong to the indivi dual hut to the State, and he must say, that there was nothing in the conduct of his onourable and Learned Friend, the Attorney General, and his predecessor, which did them so much honour as their abstaining from prosecuting those offencetwhich had been salt cte d by the Constitutional Association. With respect to the question befute the House, be thought that no answer had been given by the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Peel). He should therefore feel it his duty teesupport the motion. It had been said that notoriety was a sufficient ground fur the House to legislate upon ; but that was to hint quite a novel d octrine. Ile had heard th it notoriety was a just ground fur euquify, but not fur passing a law of such a renal nature. The ATI ORN EY-G EN Elt AL said, he rose in con• sequence of a remark of his Honourable and Learned Friend upon that r art of the Right Ilonourable SClrrtarrsspettlt which accused the Ceholic Association of an improper interference with the ad ministration of public justice. Ills I lotiourable and Learned Friend had mifapprebeeded the argument of the Right llonourable Secre tary, for les Rt. lion. Friend had thrown overboard all disputed facts about this Association, and rested his argument entirely upon docu ments which it had openly and repeatedly :acknowledged—( dear. ) With regard to the argument by which his Learneel Friend had defended himself front the claire': of inconsistency in voting against this Bill after his attacks upon the Constitutional Association, he would merely remind the House, th..t his Learned Friend had con tended that all prosecutions by associations of individuals were illegal. Prol.aley his ',veined Friend had since that time altered his opinion. For his own part he contended, that the Coustitii tional A-si dation, though peril city legal, et as still very int poliiic—(ilear, hear).--it would he in the recollection of the House that such lied always been Lis opinion—( llear, hear). Now es here was the similarity between the Constitutional and the Cacho. lie Assad ition ? Of whom did the Catholic Association consist ? It coosisted of titter parts out of four of the population of Ireland. 'Could any one doubt for a moment that such an Association did not represent the Roman Catholic population of Ireland? But lion. Gentlemen asked whether any one could doubt of the effect which such an Association mitst have oft the administrati tttt of justice In Ireland ? It was justly asked, whether such an Association was not calculated to encourage spies and iliformers? Did the deficiency • of the means of this As•ociation exist in reasoning, or arguments, or facts ? Was it not, said his Right l ion. Friend, with great truth and reason, an Association celculated to produce the most dangerous consequeeces? Let the House look at the documents which were before them. They b..d been loou*it tot ward by the Catholic As sociation themselves. It was further objected against that Asso eietion, that they reported on their own progress and their treasury that their party was daily tnlareing—aed that their communion was in all respect. increasing. Nothiag could be a more striking' or irremediable evil than that it ceiseteetty recited that diversity of fears and expectatious among the peeple w loch they were taught to entertain on the great question of Cetholie Emancipation. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman coecluded by rapt essing, in forcible terms, the decided opposition taut he was inclined to give to this question—(Loud cries of 't Qttrbtiun,cpictiiotl)." Mr. 13ROUG 11 tINI rose to 1 t.ply.—He said, he had tever pi esented himself sk ith greater art xrety to discharge his duty. The very able speech of the Right Hon. Se crera; y, all n.ust admit, was calculated to make a strong impression, in the sincere tone with which it was ut tered. Still I.e was to contend, that the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman, able as it was, could not drive him one inch from his ground. He (Mr. B.) having adverted to the precedents he had cited in support of Itis motion. maintained that those • cares had not been altered in the bearing they bad upon the subject by any had heard on the other side. He had been 801 l belofe the Douse was not levelled at the To whom, then,. did die arguments they had iply ? Why, the Catholics in genet al; yet they thii.g he h told the B I Catholics. heard app were told it was only applicable to the Catholic Asso dation. In one case only he had opposed the appearance of a pet son at the Bar of the House. The Right Bon. Secietary (Mr. Peel) had accused the Catholic Associa :ion of procces . ing in a mode contrary to the practice of Commits of Criminal Justice, by instituting inquiiies,anft t•erding the accused to trial with the disadvantage of an ex-parte investiyation hanging over them. Now the fact was ciirectly the rev...lse in the English Courts. In a case of libel, for instance, whe.e an information was applied for, it was necessary that all the Judge; should deliver their opinions seriatim, declaring it to be a libel, before the accused iould be sent to trial before a rely jury. A much gr;rver charge had been brought against the Catholic Association which was the tact that Mr. Hamilton Itowan had been spoken of by them in terms of respect, arid had beer enrolled in the list of their membeA. The character of that person had already been vindicated by the Ilimourable Member for Cork (Mr. Christopher H. Hutchinson), with the tpitit, talent, and eat nestne,s with which he always stood up in the defence of an . assent friend—(Hear). This charge had made a great effect on the House :when it was stated, but he (NI:. Broighoun) now pledged trim. self to prove that it was a charge that told in favour of the Association rather than against it, and he would thew the hazard of trusting to ex pane stvements and unexplained documents. The charge brought against the Association WAS, that they had said of Mi. Rowan, that he was entitled to the respect aid love of his countrymen, and yet Mr. Rowan was nothing more nor less than an " attainted traitor." Now, in saying this, the Association had not gone a step beyond the fact. No man in Ireland, was more respected than him. (A Memlser exclaimed, " No.") " I offer to prove it," says Mr. Broughafit. " I join issue upon the fact : Whoever says No, gives' me his vote." And who established the fact of Mr. Rowan being so respected in Ireland ?—Why, his 31ajesty's Government—(clear, heat). Mr. Bowan was a wealthy Country Gentleman, of hig'i character, beloved by his ft lends for his virtues, and by the country fur his patriotism—(hear). In the stormy period, front 1793 to 1798, when so many per sons in Ireland were oused by their wrongs into excess, it was no wonderthat be was included in the same Act of Attainder which struck at the Fitzgrralds and others, without conviction, without trial, without even being heard. }L.: was af terwards pardoned by his Prince, he returned to the bosom of his family, he became once more the dispenser of benefits to his tenan try, and the darling of his neighbour hood and the country at large, and above all Served on every Grand Jury—(llear)--and con stantly acted as a Magistrate—(Cheers). This " attainted traitor" acted in the commission of the peace, under the superintendance of Lord Manners— (Citeers).—Lord Manners, the very pink of loy alty, and Mr. Saurin, the minor tutelary Saint of Ireland, kft an " attainted traitor" on the judicial bench, no doubt in order that he might play rho tyrant over his Majesty's subjects. But still more, Mr. Rowan was in the constant habit of attending the Vice-regal Courts—(Hear)—and received there with favour, not only by Lord Wellesley, but even by Lord Whitworth—(hear). This was the man on account of speaking well of whom the Ca th olic Association was to be put down and suppressed. lie hoped that he had now redeemed his pledge, and shewn the necessity of inquiry, and the incalculable danger of hasty legislation—(Hear). No honest or re flecting man should vote on this subject without previously acquaint ing himself with all the facts of the we.. He once more solicited the House to lay aside all animosities and party spirit, and to avail itself of an opportunity which might not occur again of Conciliating Ireland. 'There were, at this moment, within the walls of the House, the individuals who possessed the confidence of the Catholic Association, and consequently of all the Catholics of Ireland (the Learned Gentleman alluded to the circumstance of Meurs. O'Con nell, Shiel, Sir Thomas Esmond, &c. being then under the gallery), and was it not better that they should be treated with kindness than with severity; that they should be called to the Bar of the House as witnesses, and be allowed to state their case? If they failed in making out a Case, why then the House would act justly and con stitutionally in yauing the measure, and would in doing so contribute to the tranquillity of Ireland. He was authorised to say that they would prove that the whole conduct of the Association was neither an infraction of the letter, nor an invasion of the spirit of the Bri tish Constitution. They offered to produce all the letters, papers, documents, and every scrap of writing which bad ever belonged to the Association. Amongst these testimonies there was no black book, no book of prosetiption or exclusion. The Learned Gen. tleman concluded by intreating the House to inquire before it de cided, and said, that if in the teeth of the explanation he had fur nished, respecting Mr. Rowan, they refused to hear the Association, the responsibility would be upon their heads—( Hear). Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House di. vided. The numbers were.— For the Motion 89 Against it 222 Majority against it —133 The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned,at Half-past One o'Clock, until Monday.

The second Project of Law contains the final regulation of the Budget of 1823, and directs that a surplus of between five and six millions of francs, which naming over the expenses of that year, be applied to those of 1824 and 1823. The third Project of Law proposes to give a supplement of 34,560,737 francs on the funds of the Budget of 18 4.

HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, FEBRUARY 18. SAN JUAN. . This was a case of seaman's wages, in which the services of the party and the wages due were in no degree of dispute ; but it seemed that a long depending question of ownership in the Court of Chan cery, between the original proprietors of the vessel and Messrs. Thornton, Free, and Down, the bankers, had hitherto kept him out of his claim. Lord Srowsa.t., in giving judgment to-day said, by the proceed ings in Chancery it appeared that the San ADM had been trans ferred by Messrs. liebers and Co. to Messrs. Thornton and Co. in satisfaction of and as security for large advances already made to them and further advances that were then in anticipatio n.— Ilia Lr:rdship, after reasoning on the hardship of keeping this mariner out of his wages until the termitratiusi of a Chancery suit, which might yet outlast the life of this uufurtuuate party, thaupit he should be doing an act of coilvenient justice by decreeing the payment of the wages. Messrs. Thornton and Co. could ht ro losers by this decree at such a stage of the proceedings, as the wages must necessarily be allowed for in the ultimate settlenlert of the original transactions relative to this ship, whenever that settle dement might take place.
