PRICE SEVER PENCE. ligious parties into which it is divided had rot behaved I with fairness or kindness to each other. Whatever might have been the case before the Ueion, however, he was sure that since that period it had been treated with great favour—every one of its institutions had been protected, and its improvement promoted with ardour. Ireland had since that been treated, not with brae justice, font with partiality and favour, as if Eng. land were sensible of her former unkind treatment, and had been willing to atone for it. On the present occa. sion it was his wish, his Lordship continued, to avoid every topic that was likely to lead to a controversy, hut Ireland is so large and important a part of the country, that he could not wholly pass over a Subject which had so long been considered as the source of the evils of Ireland—more particularly, as he could not conceal the hopes h entertained, that th e fi nal and permanent tranquilli ty of Ireland would be settled by doing justice to the Catholics of that country-4ffear, (rear, hear). He said he hoped, because he thought it was the necessary foundation of all tranquillity, that it was indispensable, and sooner, or la - er was inevitable: But though he was far from giving up his cherished hopes, he did not blame those statesmen who had thought otherwise, and who had opposed it: he did not blame Ministers for not carrying it forward, when they could only do it by dissolving the Government.-- It was a measure that was not to be carried by force, but by gradually surmounting the opposition which arose, - perhaps, from prejudices, but they w e re s i ncere prejudices. I f Catholics would allow themselves to be persuaded by their Protestant brethren, they would not force on hostility by violence, but would endeavour to gain their object by conciliation. The Protestants have opposed the Catholics participating in all their civil rights, from an apprehension, erroneous, but sin cere, that by granting this participation, they would endanger their -own Church. The Catholics should consider, that when they had the power, they had not been distinguished for toleratio n ; an d the forefathers of the present race might have foreseen, that if ever those whom they called heretics should attain the upper hand, they would visit on the posterity of those Ca tholics the injuries they had received. Men will re member such cruelties, and those who inflict them may tremble for the fate of their posterity. He thought the opposition to the claims of the Catholics arose from a prejudice, but it was a prejudice which was natural and almost justifiable, and could be only subdued by mild and gentle means. His lordship regretted that so much evil seemed likely to arise from a line of con duct so well calculated to revive in the opponents ofthe Catholics, their just fears, and to give strength and bit terness to feelings of anger and hostility. This con duct, to which he alluded, had been flagrant, and touched on the utmost verge of the law, provoking the hostility of their enemies, and terrifying their friends. If the contest should ever be carried on by any other weapons than those of argument and words, what could they hope to obtain by the tremendous contest to which this would lead ? They might, by getting the cor dial assent of the Protestants, obtain a full share of all our civil rights. They could never hope to subdue them. Even if they were, and aided by the arms of some Ca tholic State, and by an alliance, as injurious as unna tural, to obtain a superiority, what would be the con sequence of their success? By conciliation, they may hope to obtain a full share of ail our civil rights and pri vileges, but by successful violence, by forcing on the contest, they would only step into the ruins of liberty, and share in nothing but its expiring freedom and great ness. It would be better to hive only an imperfect share of these privileges, than thus to destroy them by triumphing over their Protestant brethren. I wish that the Catholics should be Wise and moderate, seeking gradually to obtain an equality of rights in both king. doms by conciliatory means. To do this, they must retrace some of their steps, and they may probably then reconcile those of their friends who are alarmed, and conciliate those of their enemies who are most hostile to them. He hoped, however, whenever this question came before their Lordships, they would not stiffer the conduct of any individuals to influence their judgment, and the 'decision they ought to ceme to. It was worth consideration, whether the danger to be ap prehended from admitting the Catholics to a full share of all the rights and privileges of the country was not a much less evil than the danger and mischief to he ex pected from their constantly existing discontent? Their Lordships had heard, no doubt with satisfaction, that, part of his Majesty's Speech in which he had informed them that he had received the strongest assurances, not only from his Allies, but generally from all the Govern ments of Europe, of their amicable and friendly dispo. sitions. This general peace rested on the secure foun dation of strength united with moderation. The only contest which existed in Europe was, nnt be tween Governments, but parties. There were two great parties--one desiring to restore the ancient order of things, and the other constantly striving after sort e new order. That party which wished to testore the ancient order of things, were not contented, a ith that order which existed before the Revolution, but they wanted something more despotica-(Hear, hear, hear), such as had been adopted by mankind in an uncivi lised age. This party did not like our Constitution; they were vexed with it, and naturally looked on our national institutions as a pregnatA and dangerous source of principles they always dread, and of principles they wish to repress—(Hear, hear).—The other party were desirous of destroying everything which existed, and the only remedy they could find for all the evils of mankind, was sweeping away all the institutions which men hid long venerated. They were, while they boasted of their attachment to freedom, extremely narrow and illiberal ; and however they might differ among them selves, they weie all actuated by a bitter hatred towards this country. They were not sincere in their love of liberty, of which they talked so much, for they had crouched down before Bonaparte, had worshipped him, and had endeavoured to reduce England to an Imp.- ri2l province. After stich endeavours, they now com plain that we do not apply the resources we have pre served from their attacks, to support them in their at tempts to obtain liberty. But they have no connection with us or our interests; all their political attachments are jacobinical; they hate the English Aristocrat!, envy English glory, and are even more opposed to Ofir FAIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 182 NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

In the SCAR of yesterday we gave an account of the opening of Parliament by Commission, and a copy of his MAJEstit's gracious Speech, which was read by the LORD CHANCELLOR. After the Commons had withdrawn from before the Bar, the Bishop of CHESTER (Dr. Blnowfield) took the oaths and his sea:; and also Lord Viscount FORD, as Baron Penshmst, of Penshurst, in the counts of Kent, on which occasion the Eat Nlarshal olli.-i.ited. An adjournment now took place during pleasure, and at five minutes after five o'clock, the Lotto Cu Ncet.t.on resumed his seat, w hen his Lordship read did Lords Commissioners' Speech, which he then handed to thy Reading Clot IcINIr. Rose). by whom it was also read. The Earl of LIVERPOOL now moved the his, reading of the Select Vestries RegUlation Bill, which was immediately read a first time. THE ADDRESS. Lord bUDLEY and WARD then rose to Move (he said) their Lordships to agreep a humble Addiess, in answer to the Speech which had just:lst:en lead. There were many circumstances which might be urged as an apology for his rising to address their Lordships. The task was now comparatively easy. Those who had on former occasions stood in the situation in which he then stood, had to ask their Lordships, during the long and protracted war we were then engaged in, to suspend their judgment till the contest should be terminated. At a liter period, after many sacrifices, and when suc cess had crowned our exertions, those of.their Lordships who rose then to move an Address, had the equally difficult and mote irksome duty to attempt an 'altera tion of those commotions and those commercial embar rassments which had so long obstructed the course of our prosperity, and prevented us from enjoying the blessings of peace. The pressure which was then se verely felt had now ceased. • His task and their Lord ships' were now easy ; he bad no sacrifices to ask. After a period of 80 years' struggles and sufferings, this country had reached a pitch of prosperity never before equalled in this country, and perhaps never equalled in the world. Peace had smiled on us, and brought with it its advantages;• after a long period of excessive exer tion and distress. His Majesty had fully appreciated their prosperity, and had congratulated their Lordships on it in the first part of the Speech now before their Lordships. It was a prosperity growing out of an arduous struggle, and there was in it both honour and repose. It was a struggle against the power of all Europe, impelled by the genius of a warrior and a statesman. We had not then deviated from our policy, and peace bad not been forced on us; we had removed the oppression, and were now secure of oar own power. The prosperity of which he had spoken was not partial': it estended mall parts of the coats,' y, and was•the na rural fruit•oLour prodigious industry, and our great ,Mechanical skill, which had obtained for us a mastery over nature, lir imitating her power—( Hear, hear front the . Opposition benches). There were fresh re sources too now opening for us. That world which had been first discovered by the genius of Colombia, had been, for useful purposes, rediscovered in our times; and by the mutual intercourse which was now taking place, we found it much richer in the valuable commo dities which might be obtained by industry, than even in those which had tempted the avarice of its first in vaders. The reciprocal intercourse between the two countries was a source . of wealth and of renewed pros perity to both. This prosperity had brought its natural consequence, contentment; and never before were the people of England more thoroughly satisfied and con tented, than at present. There never was a time, also,when industry was more active; never was there a time when the . spirit of useful improvement was more active; and this activity, this contentment, were not the fruits of blind obedience to despotic laws, but the rational dic tates of active and intelligent beings- Near, hear ! frees the Opposition). His Lordship said, he need not bring forward any proof of the prosperity—the docu ments to prove it were in everybody's hands, and were foUnd in our diminished taxation, and in our increased revenue. We had not obtained this prosperity by any improper means; there had been no violation of credit ; no national bankruptcy; no rejection of our debt—we had stood up under a greater burden than any former statesman could have imagined possible, and we acknowledge a debt, and regularly pay the in terest, greater than had ever been borne by any coun try. It was to his Lordship a great satisfaction to re collect that this prosperity had rapidly increased under regulations dictated by a sounder system of political economy, than ever before dictated oar commercial laws. He fully concurred in the latter part of the Speech, which alltided to the benefit of removing restrictions, and recommended carrying the same principles further into effect. Those principles had long been recom mended—(Hear, hear), but their effects were doubtful to some minds ; but we had now been so fortunate as to see the good anticipated from acting on them immedi ately realised. He would refer to one instance, which originated, he believed; in that House, under the au spices of a Noble Earl opposite—he alluded to the laws for the removal of the restrictions on the silk trade.— Their Lordships must recollect well how numerous and weighty were the complaints which were made when that law was brought ,forward; but so. far from the trade having decayed, as had been anticipated, it had flourished since that period more rapidly than before, and had since extended almost as fast as the manufac ture of cotton.' We nh longer dreaded the rivalry of the foreigner in our market, and were able to contend with him in the markets of the Continent. ‘Ve were now fully taught, that the great commercial prosperity had not arisen from our commercial restrictions, but in spite of them —(Hear). Ireland, though, perhaps, in a less de, gree, had shared in the general prosperity; it had in creased in wealth and inindustry, and its rental had aug mented. There was in that country a greater respect for the laws than before, and a greater degree of order. The inhabitants seemed, as they grew more prosperous, to increase in civilization. It was,too much the custom to speak of Ireland as an ill-used country; and it was true, that formerly England had - governed Ireland as .one barbarous country governs Attother. It was equally me t that at a somewhat later period; the two great re BRITISH ANNUITY COMPANY. Established by Act of Parliament ' Capital 43,000,000, in 60,000 Shares of 450 each.
