He was not at all prepared to admit that any eberge . existed or could be sustained against hi.

AIPVAIRSI tM PORTUGAL. • SG:JAMES MACINTOSH felt it to be his doty to sniveler" word. in addition to, and perhaps in-es plasatiani 'of, an observation which had dropped from limos.. the first evening of the presentliession. He had, on that occasion, preface I the few sentences he addressed to :We House by declaring. that although there were some matters alluded to in his Majesty's most graCious Speech, which, in his °pinkie, required exiirnation, he felt that :was not the time when they contd.:4 properly make them a subject of discussion. He bad wished, indeed, to pass those mattes s over for some short time in silence. in order chat he may here after have an appal tuait y f advocating theta with more advantage—first, because he felt that the House, agi tated and absorbed as it was by the consideration of that grandest of in questions—that most iMportar t of all subjects—the concessiou promised to the claims of his Majesty sCatholic subjects— ' eras not in a fit simper to de liberate upon any other topic, however important. irr the Mat plate, because he knew that full justice could mt be dose to any question by pushing forward and forcing it into premature discussion. And lastly, he eding whatever might be his sense of the importance of that subject which pressed upon his al entior, he diJ not wish at this moment to introduce any topic which might le • d to any duff tense of opinion with a G 'refit ment who had just conferred upon their cottony the greatest and the must important boon which- it could . boat of since the passing of the Hill of Rights. The or amen's, hoe ever, which had jifit taken place at the Awes* wise of such saute, that it became impossible heights, so follow the course he bad originally deter ithsi4 upon,-lest, by laying himself open to ti echarge ' having looked epos those occurrences in silence or with indifference, he might prejudice the consider ati .n of the subject upon a (astute oceasieh. He Tea% hov erer, still desirous to adhere, as much as it was in • • bis 'power, which ell Majesty's , their -weer the pijrielit' 6 a , lien of an ethers. due atken.ion - scientiously imposed upon them. With is hope, there fore. that some Honourable Friends 'of 'his, 'Whom' hit' saw opposite, would allow the House some little interval of tranquillity. although he contoured he saw footfal l preparat ons to disturb it, and be. for one. Mitt oar, that be did ant intend to give the Bill for the :op pression of the Association any opposition, if it.did not, as he earnestly- hoped it would not, cousin any proposition at traria - nee with justice and huma nity; hoping, however, that between the pant% of that Bill and their entering upon the consideratiee of that other all-important question—the removal of the disqualification** which affected the Roman Catholics, there might occur some brief breathing time, hi not gave notice, that on Thursday. the 19th of Febtuniy, he should move for Copies or Extracts of all coutentesis cations between his Majesty's Government and . thatc.

MACINTOSH observed, chat the House most be -aware the petition presented by the Noble Marquis had been got up previous to the opening of di! Session, and therefore before his Majesty's sentiments bad beets known relative to the great question of emancipation. Had the contents of his M •jesty's Speech, and . the nsost adequate and complete security premised therein:been previously known to the petitioners, in all probability they would have been influenced to adopt a contrary measure, and not. in the face of such undertakings op the past of Government, to persist in their opposition and attempt to debase the grace, and poison the happy measure which his Majesty bad been graciously pleased to declare from the throne, and which, according to his Majesty's Government, and perfectly compatible with the most sacred engagements of his coronation oath, he had recommended as necessary for the welfare of the country, and perfectly consistent with the security of the Protestant interest. Mr. TRANI' conceived that for the present at least it would be more advisable to rely on his Majesty's Ministers than to petition against the introduction of the proposed 'lessors. An Honourable Gentleman, a friend of hi', had gone to Derry; and there bad made a lengthened speech; in which be seemed to have let the cat's nose rut of the bag, and now the entire cat had appeareil,,not even leaving her tail unperceived. After the subject had been discussed over and over again, and argued in all possible forms, he could not avoid feeling considerable surprise at its very sudden appearance, and in a shape it bad never before exhi bited'. 'fns entire Government seemed to him vary like to one el Prince Hohenlohe's miracles, of whiff tbej bad lewd so much, and yet known so little.' Sir C. BURR ELL sapposted the petition, betauie he believed the' it Contained the sentiments of try. iar the. greatest portion 'of his Majesty subjects. He haefelt it his duty hitherto to oppose the Catholic clainis, sod as' he now saw no reason f r altesifig his sentiments, he must cnntiane that opposition . If - indeed he (Sir C. Burrell) could see soy seal good, any slid advantage, that could result to the Roman Catholics from the con-, cessions of thole claims, he would not oppose it; but he was not aware of any good that could possibly result theretrotn. He could not avoid thinking that the new light:had shone in upon his Majesty Ministers in a most unexpected and sudden manner. Mr.. H. MAXWELL could not allow the Petitions which his Honourable Friend had brought before the Houle to be laid by without saying a few words. He (Mr.,84 l had himself presented several Petitions to the same effect, and he could assert that. even if the.peti timers had any idea that his Majesty's Ministers would have changed their opinion upon the subject before them, they would not, therefore, have changed theirs— (Hear, herr). And be bad reason to know that that demonstrations f the Protestant f sling which had been long ezhibi.ed would not now cease to disclose itself. He bad no doubt that his Maje:ty's Ministers had con. scientroubly acted, but the Pro.estants, he felt assured, would feel that they had misplaced their confidence: in the Noble bul."'s pledges and the 'Right Honourable the Secretary for the Home Department, who, he (Mr. Maxwell) had reason to shook, from hisspeeches in that House, would never have changed his opinions andtatio; "'toed in oIE e. The Pr otestants had n w lost confi dence in his Majesty's Guvernm nt ; and is that Ceiling he, as a Member of ,hat House, as a Protestanti'ind one who constituted a past of a Government essaftlalf* Protestant, Jelt bound to participate. Colonel EEL—Ilk. sass any solid reason for aban doning the opinions which he • had early imbibed he would feel no hesitation is doing so; but, as be could see no Food reason.he must continue unchanged. Had his blaiesty's Ministers paid a proper attention to•the opinions of the House. when it was recommended to put down the Catholic Ass( ciatiun, they would not now have been left to the u.i.er able alternative of =ranting Catholic Ensancip. tion. There was no danger of which the country cs old for m any idea equal to the danger of sacrificing the Cut s:itution ; and, he would ask, was them any other probable, or even possible, means of setting this question &rally to resi? Let them advert for a mama' to the measures proposed,and what were they? Toone party thete was an offer of emancip.tian; to the other of secu rity. But, be would ask, what possible security could be given for the seven millions of whom they bad heard so touch ? They were told that all rational and mo derate men among the Catholics would exert their in fluence ass ng the people, and feel more disposed to secure a constitution of which tf.ey,fotmed a part; but it was irrational men, it was, the agitators, that passed the pow er of the people. They would never be satisfied ; they bad Wedged themselves that they would not— (Hear, heat ). Fos these reasons be continued unchanged in his sentiment , . After a few Aped. is explanation from air JAMB Liiinclosi, Mr. MOORE, notwithstanding the sudden change that had taken place in the sentiments of his Majesty's Ministers and the recommendation from the Throne, continue I unchanged in h s opinion. He believed that the mea,use, is conceded, would endanger the constitu • ti• nof the country. He only took his Majesty's speechl as the dictation of his Ministers; but,if it were receiveda. the dictates.of his own reason, still he would eonterAthat Ibis Majesty did not entertain a conscientious Opinio • .* upon . as it was to all classes in empire, his Majesty's Go. verisomit would allow ample time frilly to delibe rate litila its merits, and to give it that coosiisration which it deserved. Sure be was, also, that sufficient time would be allowed between the tisssink of the Bill ilk the suppression of the Catholic Association and that other measure which was intended to follow it, in order that the people of England and the people of Leland sight have ample opportunity of declining their revokes. He trusted that no difficulties mould be tanown in the way, and that no attempt would be made to Wile those opinions. He felt assured that, $ ihose advantages were allowed them—if they eye not _taken by surpifse—they would show how great and, how extensive was the Protestant feeling upon Mri:Nett ; and, when their opinions were fairly laid the House..they would fairly bear out the state. mints of Honourable Members, that she contemplated measure was strongfr opposed to the views and wishes if a vast maj.,rity of the people of Englind, and of p censidetabk portion of the people of Ireland. , . • ',Tie Petition tram Heasel-Heaspstead sedate Wake mum : duos to the Region Cuban was ties laid epos or sale, and t eedsted.to be printed. c• The Marquis of CHANDOS presented a Petition Ifrnin the Protestant Inhabitants of the Barony of Ostoryi in the Queen's county. Zgiins t the training of furti re ) tosicessions to the Roman Catholic.. It was, be ob ! rived, unnecessary for him to stare that be felt great dire in bringing tks petition before the H n e, and would take this 'opportunity of stating that his Mr E. e t a . y's Speech bad been per used throughout the whole county which be had the honour to represent in Pat. Raiment without producing the slightest change in the ,opinions of its inhabitants. They were ready to aunt tward their petitions against concessions to t e Rosati acs. to renew their best efforts to spread this ma tiiment; and to call upon their represemativei to do their dot to tiers and net their cnantry.—Laid one he table. The Marquis of CHANDOS said, as the Right Hoe. Secretary of &ate had given notice of his intention to being in a Bill for the removal of ihmocivil , disabilities *hick affected his Majesty's Roman Catholic subject,. he rose to take advantage of the earliest opportunity VI pate his intend nof moving i calf of House-whao ever the measure shou'd be brought forward, in order that the Representatives of the whole country might be enabled to put forth their opinions as to whether or n t the Conaitution of the country aught to be changed. Colonel SIBTHORPE presented a Petition against farther concessions to the Roman Catholics trots the parish of Wallington, in the county of Lincoln. He confessed that he had beard with astoni.hinent the Opi nions advanced by the HooourabkMembet for Raise.- botough and other Honourable Members, that Oxford would have pursued a very different course if they bad entertained an idea of the conduct about to be adopted by his Majesty's Government; and that many of the Petitions presented that day would have been withheld if the Petitioners had been aware of the changes that were about to take place in the sentiments of his Majesty's Ministers. Since he (Colonel Sibthorpe) had arrived iwtown, be had scarcely met an-individual. who did net shudder at contemplating the consequences re salting upon this contemplated measure; and he con sidered it his duty to express to the House and to the country his conviction that In the county in which be lived, and in the city which he had the honour to re present, the people would come forward warmly in op potion to any such measure the moment they conceived it.possible that a change' of sentiments bad taken place re the minds of his Majesty. Ministers. For the Right Hon. Secretary, and for his great abilities, he entertained she highest respect; and from hour to bout, and from meek to week, he had sat in that House, and bad listened llo.hisn with attention; but he bad beard with-the most utter astonishment that that Right Hon. Secretary arid fis colleagues tenant, on some teture occasion. to sup port those claims of the Roman Catholics to which he and they had been so long and so strenuously oppored., While he (Colonel Sibthorpe) lived he should; consider It his duty to his c‘untry and to his constituents to op pine further concessions to the Raman Catholics. Ordered to be Wd co the table. Sir ROBERT INGLIS presented a Petition front Ripon. is Yorkshire, against farther concessioncto the Roman. Catholics He observed it was unnecessary for him to state how cordially be concurred in the prayer of the Petition. He trusted, with the Hon. Mensbes for Dublin. that the opinions of the .people of this country would be allowed feee vent. and that they would receive the amplest opportunity of being heard in that House. Those opinions were every day more and more gaining ground; and he felt assured that. if it should appear that the Carbolic question was:likely to be carried, re House would have Positions hum all parts of the country. not merely to Parlia Peat, but to the Crown, to entose that prerogative in which the Impe of the people might be eventually. placed. hie trusted . , such a course would not be necessary ; but be vim sure that his Majesty's Government had grossly Miscalculated public opmion—as grossly as they bad ested in their view of. the segesstty of granting this linestiow. t• lac W. INGILBY did not mean toeppose the Pad *sit which the Manometric Baronet bad presented, but he .conceived it his duty to state somewhat of the man aer is which it bad been got up. It was one of thos- Petitions which were usually denominated '441101e and corner Petitions." The meeting which decided•upon it was held at a pnhlic house, and even the Mayor of toe town was sot ptesent, although his name would, he believed. appear att ached to. it. It was not by tray means the Petition of the inhabitants of Ripon, nor osjht it to be laid on the table of the House. And be believed, if the Petitions of the &unswickers were narrowly in spected, one half of than would be found of the same character as this, which was, in his opinion, a fair ape. cialcu of the wholes got up in the. same way • by Cier gymen. Apothecaries. and Lawyers—(Laughter). Mr. Secretary PEEL would take the liberty of giving to the House that advice which be bad given on former occasions, namely, to receive all Petitions that were pre ,sented with that respectful attention which they de served; not to scrutinise them too narrowly, or to Mi. tole the means that circumstances might have rendered necessary. which it had been resorted to to ptepare them fat signature. Every opportunity should be 'given to ell classes of declaring their sentiments openly, fairly, rod freely ; and he f elt assured that thee could be no way of opposing the contemplated impale so effec tually. as by ridiculing those legitimate t &mast, and respectful Petitions which varions_bridies in the country Might conceive it their duty to lay before the Legis. Wire. He would assure the Honourable Member who bad referred to the petition from Oxford that it had arisen Iron motives the most. honourable. It would be' his duty to present that petition to the House s and be, would, of mine, most gladly and justly , • hie duty in presenting it. although he had be. a by citcemstances to d ffer flows them as to the ipeasting to which .t 'elated. Whatever might be the re .ml, whi c h induced him and other aseasbet s of his hi ajet)%Govo. s . re e. t to estop , the !Outs, which they note meant to p ea se-, his Hon.

It was, indeed, a most painful situation, and one free which they washd have shintik, bad.not citessaenn eesi forced it spots them. An Hon. Member had talked alma' the sacrifice rf loisesty. about duty to the memory, n ag about that sacrifice of of coand emolument which shoals have been made rather than* sacrifice of opinioci, (Mr. Pell) could not talk with a poison oh. view e d t he question in this light.- .who could put the sacrifice* office and emolument io competition with thlocother crifices which he end those who acted with him had hero called Open to make, in order to retain that office sod sa m e emolument. Such a principle ccu:sl net bt supposed is is.flUrnCe any honourab's mind. The determination as which he had come bad nothing whateser to do witt such 'principles; but. considering the Situation (few country, and, in particular, the state of Ireland , he could never have left the House, he could never have left the situation which he filled, responsible as' be was for the tranquillity of belied, and to bested, one of a Minority .of the House of . Commons. 'le was impossible. also, that he mold have 'stained his situation trod r such Ciftlitlntientel as those VIM esisted. He believed that if common justice were dose to the intentions of his Majesty's Government, it would not be thought that they had betrayed the oust •hiefie their couiitry-had reposed in them—it would not be thought that they had betrayed the Printtlini interests in pr. faring to encounter mistepreseutation anJ apptehensicn. rail er than by trusting to sale appear. enc.s, 'shod observing a'course which had been Isabela considered the 'alma road to populasity, sad at the same time sacrificing their deliberate conviction, their personal characters, and the interest. et their country. After a few wards from Mr. C. PICLHAII. the panda was' laid es the table. Sir R. INGLIS wished to ask the Hon.

Mr.F.WEST rose to pre eta a Pr Won from Burke§ Heiden and *another parish in Wales against the claims of the Catholics. He could not sufficiently express his dismay at the e urse which it appeared was about to be puttu-d by his Maj •sty's Government, and he was, indeed. surprised at the unaccountable change which hod recently taken place in their seitinies.ei. He was willing to concur in any plan, it any could be te posed in, which might remedy the evils under which Ireland L' boated, if it could bedew without danger I. the Protestant Constitution ; but be could not hoes mo petted that those who had hitherto so strenuriurlf posed them could hare bees fosid so sodeealytsi-oigr round. and briuging forward a plan for granting *al. eipation to the Roman Catholics.

It was a most grave matter the recommeads. tion of the Ministers of the Crown to Parliament to tril into consideration a measure hostile to the principles 41 the. British.Constitotion. However. it was not yet Ire late mask- his Majesty's Government to weigh, invite and survey the steps Abe? were about to take, to Mkt maturely upon their propriety, and to deliberate apt their consequences.
