Baronet (alter * ellgVt a tt as i on *tha naturatrafists apd general claims of the Rosman taitholietWtrotteetlo) to argue in favour of their demands, on the rano& of specific conventions. Now, he had never thenght that the Con. ,stitution of .England recognized The abstract right of any perums to the enjoyment of political power and privileges, or even' to the:eligibility for such power ; and until the Constitution was so changed, that there remained no distinction between the owner of an estate 1 by copylsold, and him who ,possessed his property by ,freehold—till there was no difference with respect to the right of voting between the freeholder to the amount of 395. and the freeholder of 40s.—till the individual possessed of an estate of 2901. could claim to sit in that House, as well as he who had one of 30(11.—andsuntil the alien-born inhabitants of this country were placed on an equal footing'with the native-born inhabitants (both paying the same taxes and obeyin the same law)—he could not admit that the inhabitllits of Eng-, land, as such, had any abstract right to eligibility for political power and privileges. Dismissing. with this sentence, the getteral and abstract claims of the Roman Catholics (which he must do the Honourable Baronet the credit to allow he bad himself very slightly in. sisted on), he should proceed to a part of the subject which, in the opinion of the Right Honourable Baronet, was of greater importance—he meant the considerations involved in the Treatrof Limeiick. He was satisfied that no claims were now wiihheld from the Roman , "Oatholics which they were entitled to claim under the ,piovisions of the Treaty of Limerick. Whatever rights might have been taken. from them, their continuance was not goaianteed by that Treaty. In reference to this point he contended, that up to 1792 (comprehend- Mg a period of one hundred years from the chug of ,the lieaty of Limerick) no claim similar to that now urged , by the Roman Catholic' had been preferred apon fisith of that compact. Besides, it was only the sense , which the parties to the Treaty had at the time of its: stipulatioas that could satisfactorily explain the nature, of those stimilations. The sense of the wasting of the, Treaty entertained by third parties, living 'in another age, and in a different country (however honest and intelligent these persons might-be=and he by no means agreed in the censure passed upon the 'character of Bishop Burnett), could never be considered half such good eaklence of its true musing, as was to be found . in the opinion of the parties who had themselves made , the stipulations. who were uron the spot at the time when they were agreed on, and mere deeply in terested in rightly understanding and linterpreting the contract. He contended that no sus h claimruere set op under this Treaty by the immediate parties, as was now attempted to be established by their de,cendants, Further, let it be recollected what was the general aspect of affairs in ['eland in the beginning of 1691, in the course of which year this Treaty was agreed on. It would be found on examination that though the citcum stances of the English army at that period were not very favourable, yet those ot the Irish army were, to say the least, as ungovernable: In the 'beginning of, 1691, Lord Tyrconliel wrote to James the Second, desiring succour, or else to be allowed to make such terms for himself as he could obtain ; and on the 14th of August, in the same year, wen he was dying in the city of Limerick. ,his advice to the garrison was to capitulate on the best conditions they could procure. He (Sir It Inglis) used this argument in reply to those who now stated that it was;. great object with William to obtain possession of Limerick. and this the 'lrish army being strong, and the English army a ealc.a.nd dispirited at the time, that object could not have been readily accomtilished by; force. Now, the contrary of all this was the fact, and it was clearly demonstrable, that when the English ermy appeared .before Limerick, the Irish were not in a condition to insist upon terms, beyond all measure so favourable, as it had since been contended were then granted.? The Vtoveroniebt of Ireland published a Proclamation on the 7th of July in the year referred to, in which they gave notice to all persons then in aims; who should speedily submit them selves, that they should not be troubled by penal sta tutes, and that their Majesties would take measures to obtain them such further securities a, might be necessary for their safety. This was done in order to remove some doubts that were at that time entertained on the subject' of the punishment t.) be apprehended by those whO should lay down their arms. Here then a provision was made, not for privileges, but for pardon. But he Mid' still - stronger grounds to rely: on—look not merely to this particular Treaty, but cousider what wastftepature' of the ter ms Afforded to other cities in the progress of the campaign. But it so, it was a somewh it singular tact, that on the 21st of July in t t. e same year, Water turd deniauded a guarantee for the private exercise of religion, at the condition of ifs submission; and theA de nand was :closed. A similar demand was made by the town of Dungarvon, and the result was the same.-- Having refused the private exercise of religion to the, City ot Waterford, the English army appeared before ' Galway—an important fortress, which possessed the' me.us ot resistance, and therefore obtained better terms. l'o the Clergy and Laity of that town, the free exercise of the i r religion in private was conceded—lawyers were Allowed to toll rw their profession—and estated Genie oleo received permission to carry s gun. These were donai.lered favourable conditions. ?rhos it appeared that the Irish army was not in a condition to extort Y • terms similar to those now said to have been secured, not merely to the garrison of the city in question, but tp 411 the inhabitants of Ireland by the 'Treaty tit Li). Met ick. When De (iinkle approached Limerict, he bad William's orders to conclude a peace—Wear). He 'reached Limet ic k Srptember; the garrison ps °posed terms of capitulation, which would have "reared w them aU.the rights of astir ProtestanilelloW subject'. De Ginkleo replied, .41 am a stranger to the - constitution Of England; but Iknow-the ter ms proposed would be Itiesmaestent with My licinour to grant ;" he accompanied this answer, by the erection of a new battery. He was told by the Catholic Association, that were it not for the Treaty of Limerick theprettent' King would be a petty Prince in the North Of Germany. He would take the honest sense not only of pisiticular articles, but of ,the whole Treaty. Could it be believed, that in a Treaty oue -article of which allowed 'atholics to wear swords, 4nd.cafq a gun and pievery privilete of subjects was secured to thelllarjrit, Aril 141662'4d the Treaty secured to the Cab *so privileges they enjoyed in the reign ot Charles the Ileiond4 and the Honourable Batt. contended tat rhe second atticle secured them any dis jp.rfalarp on account ofitheir,religion.

Efitf what was the interpretation of the British Pallianuent i in 1692? They stated that the Treaty of Limerick, allowed the Irish to reposseis the estates they had for feited. What was king James's interpretation? .. A,' curious document had been lately published, in whielt he praised them for having secured the ex , nisi of their religion, their professions, and trades, and the possession of their property. Was it possible that if James sup;- , posed the Treaty had secured the privileges now con- , tended for, he would not have mentioned it with warm approbation ? He did not defend the *Parliament by which the Treaty was afterwards violated; neither did he defend the Parliament of King James; he asked but for equal justice for both. He thought it watt, evident that both parties to the Treaty knew thit there was a hialier power to which it was subject for,raiific.a... Lion. Could any one deny that King William endwoureil. to procure favour foe hii 'Catholie subjects from his Parliament ? Some of the articles of the Treaty, if they, bore the construction now contended fot, were loam sistent with the law of the realm. When,. s onithc sur render of Canada to this Government, the.Ftench Mi, nister proposed that the people of Canada should 'toy the exercise of their religion as before the cession, the Znglish Minister replied, that the King did not possess the power to agree to that article. He. would grant, toleration, but he could not do mote for Catholic.atib-, jects ; and had the Treaty of Limerick.b.ee,u intended to grant all that was now sought for under it, it would amount to an exercise of the dispensing power which had_heen abolished. With respect to the 'procireaings. ,hi the time of ,the Union, he thought it impossible to ,ptove that Mr. Pitt had given any pledge of commoni _caring a larger shareef political power to the Catholics ,than they before possessed. There was no pledge but, that of personal cottcltict„ which Mr. Pitt redeersidd; He could not pledge the Parliament—he could only pledge himself; and if he had done so, all his pledges 14ste redeemed.. All that could be said,of that Govern ment was, that they took the benefit of the Insolvent Debtor's Act. and returned to oftce when they found they could not pay in full.—(A laugh). Lord Corn , wallis, in his letter to Mr. Plowden, said he was never authorized to pledge the Government, that they would. not take office it they could nut carry the Catholic Question. He was therefore of opinion tha,t the'Catholics could not make any claim under the Act of Union.— And if on tlie . .gtotuid of, natural right thetatholics could dada, nothing,--af.on the Treaty oiLimerck they could claim nothing—if under the Act of Union they could claim nothing, be thought they had no claim on air justice of the Parliament. If on the day of the Co ronation the PArliametu stated to the Sovereign the sense-in which. they proposed the Coronation Oath, and he wok it -in that sense, the Parliament could not subsequently alter the sense of the Oath so taken— (Mutts:ruts). But the sense of the Coronation' Oath was to be found in the history of the Constitution, which was essentially Protestant, in which state the Sovereign was bound to preserve it. . He knew this* subject was delicate, and he only alluded to it because, in treating of the general questi )n, •he would not appear to avoid it. But if there was no claim of jast ice, then the whole question resolved itself into one of expediency. The Sol.citor General fot Ireland had recommended to the 'House to take the untried course of concession; ballad not Parliament for forty years been trying concession without producing. or even approaching to conciliation ? Dr. Butler, a Catholic writer thirty years ago, before the Catholic appetite for political power was whetted, had described .the Catholics of Ireland as enjoyirie security under their vines ani their fig trees. He would contrast with this the declaration of Dr. Doyle, that if a' rebellion raged 'from Carrickfergui to Cape Clear, not a Catholic Priest would denounce it from the a tar. When the elective franchise was granted to the Catho lics, they expressed their gratitude for being restated ifs the privileges of the Constitution ; but now, in their Petitions, they speak of nothing but their exclusion from thcenjoyment of their rights. He would ask, was Pro liament authorised to expect that they would ba more 'auccessful in securing the loyalty of the Catholics by 'farther concessions ? In was impossible to know the extent. of the Catholic claims. Dr. Doyle asked, would emanci pation cure the evils of the tithe system ? Their vim plaints were published in a book, and circulated in Ire land as their manual—botahey were 'such as no Proms taut Parliament could grant. Mr. Grattan had stated.' in his plate in the Irish Parliament, that he would grant to tie Catholic every thing consistent with Notes- mot ascendancy. Ile held, that where physical force so greatly preponderated in favour of a sect differing from the established religion, that it would be most dan gerous to add politicalpower. Ulm security was there that the. Catholics would be satisfied with what was now asked ? One Hon. Gentleman t. Id him that he thought the Catholic religion ought to be established in Ireland as the Presbyterian in Scotland.. He thought to grant them what they asked would be to arm discontent with power. Mr. O'Connell said, he would never be satisfied with the rule of a foreign Parliament, and would insist onithe repeal of the Act of Union. The Hon. Baronet referred to the example of other countries where equality • lof civil rights was admitted-.bat there was nu case precisely analvoes. Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, that he should take up aslittle of the time ut the Houie as he possibly could on this great question. He would not detain the House by going back to the Treaty of Limerick,' but would confine himself to the Treaty of Union. When lie (Sir J. Newport), in that House, charged the late Lord ('as. tlereagh with breaking faith wish the Catholics. the Noble Lord rose with • indignation and denied the charge, appealing at the same time to the late Mr. El. .liott. who sat near him (Sir J. Newport), in support of his assertion that no pledge was given. Mr. Elliott said that there was no pledge, upon which the Noble Lord vied is Hear, hear; on which his friend, Mi. Elliott, continued, that he hoped the Noble Lord would hear him out, ind he then said, that though ao pledge was given, yet hopes and expectations were held out, and it it had not been for those hopes and those expec tations, the great, measure of the Union could never have been carried r —iCherrs).. Under these cireum- Stances. faith was broken with them most assuredly, and the Noble Lord had not a:single word in reply to this observation of his (Siii: - Newport'S) friend, Mr. Elliott, who was as estimable& itin as ever held a sett in that • ~.. House. ....„ Mr. DUNCOMBE (of Yorkshire} was:opposed to.tbe motion, and. would not receive' any. aisertions of one or two MeMberi Of ihe'CitholieAssociatinit, that the spirit Of t ie Catholic religion was . liberal: Ife.fookei :to the, history, and to the unchangeableLa-aemper eailem,hpia it of the Catholic teli ac, i7i9n ; for proof that their 4mi,sion to a civil erinalitymitti the Proteitikitts:was fraught with. danger to the .

L. FOSTER was the first perion, abow ago, to point out to the House the•danger of the Catholic priesthood to a share of the Com. and that they would employ their spiritual s authority forward their political interests at Elections. His c were denied at the" time, though he said he wr for Catholic Emancipation if its advocates pu fears to be groundless. He would not oppose pation, if he thought the Catholic Representatit confine themselves to Catholic affairs. He sail .fully aware that the annihilation of the Catholic ciation would follow the passing of Emancipatit it would very soon spring up in a new form-10 and more extended objects. Nor did he blat Catholics for only acting consistently with sacred principle of their faith—the increasing pbrtant and temporal influence of their Choir principle actuated them at the late Elections, al actuate the 60 or 70 Catholic Representativesal return. These Representatives would be noxious to the Catholics than the Protestants, not implicitly follow the bidding in every..poi what would be the effect of this infusion upon )store? Certainly the Catholics would not citadel of the Constitution by storm, hut they would, undermine it by stealth—(Hear). To be Right Hon. Friend (Mr. W. Horton) was prov; a security—namely, that of excluding Cath( voting in cases in which the Protestant Church cerned. But if that security sati,fied the Hi )thought they treated the Catholics at present injustice. How was the House to manage case were before the House.—or was it to be that the Roman Catholics could be friendly to , blished Church ? It would soon follovt that there be. in fact, two Established Churches, and an • to the discontent and misery of Ireland. The ' tion.of England had a decided- opinion on , which he trusted she would retain as long astibeai Christian, though he had heard. the contrary assertei. `by some at the Catholic advocates. Though he could not shut his eyes on expediency, he must say, it WAS the crime of the age to view every question through Lir medium of expediency, arid not through principle — (Hear.) With respect to the two other great nations, the Baptists and the Dissenters; he had the - opi tunity of putting the same questions, and received same answers. The case was widely different asst.- spected the Church of England, and he never would hear it said there was no difference between Church* of England and that of )Rome, witlaeg raising his voice against such an assertion. One of his arguments against the proposition was, that it would lead to this consequence, that. all the political would attach itself to the latter Church, and that the members of that Church would never test until thu religion had the ascendant. In expressing these opinions , perhaps he might hot represent the place he now fere tented much longer, but even that should not: deter hta from expressing his opinions on the subject-opin°' which he had entertained for twenty years. thile r Gentlemen, might take what course they liked ; it they conscientiously believed they were securing the tr quillity of .Ireland by supporting the motion, let IN!' proceed—he did not wish to share in their glory, nor voting against it should he secure censure. He be content with acting with a conscientious feeling, with having done his duty. Mr. DOHEItTY offered a few words in explanatl in which he assured the Hon.
