tI Bidithatipation. Having said this much upon the sob. Pere be should not have said more had it not been for the observations of the Hon.-.l3aronet who had just sat down, and who had made an attack upon the right of the people of England, which he (Mr. Macomber sh-uld have least of all expected from the Honourable Baronet. If evetpetipons presented to the House were entitled to respect, thetwere those whielite(Mr.Dun• coni(r) had presented lately on this subject. The Hon. Member concluded-by ,expressing his determination to offer the ma t t uncompromisiog opposition to the pro posed - erasures. bk::•MOORK the Member for Dublin. then moved that the debate be adjourned to Monday—(Cries 44 No, so! Divide. di vide I and Adjourn! continued some done). . The welt* was at lain pet by the Semis& . Lord HOW ICK opposed the minion for adjousiniest. • Mr. HOISHOUSB said the question might be decided on the stestinti eir'adjournment. Those who voted for adjournment might be taken to be against the Right Hon. Gentlemans isessure. The sill for adjournment was continued. Mr. Secretary PRIM had twiteshation In saying that it was his Inteudiri, during the whole of this discusion. to give, so tar as depended on himself, every latitude consistent with his public duty, but be should resist delay—(Hear). He thought it right to resist *he modes for adjournment. If the Hon. Member would persist In his modes, the numbers ea the divides would be a criterion to judge of the sense oldie Hesse upon his Measure. Mr. PA LL MIR said be should vote against the adjournment, but that would net prove whether be would or would not vote for the measure. Mr. MOORE then consented to withdraw his mo. • tioo. Toe Honourable Member at the same time begged to address the House. In a speech of cond.. • drub', tength he contended that the laws passed at the Revolution were intended to be permanent, and that they could not be removed without the destruction of t e Protestant Constitution. He I liad expected the opportunity of presenting a body of Petitions before be addsassed the House, but he could only regret that the opportunity had not been afforded him. He • considered the proposed measure not only an abandon !Dell of the principle: of the Constitution ot 1688. but an utter subversion of it. He denied that Protestantism . wastnot a part of ;ha: Constitution. At the Revolution all the political institutions of the country tame under the review of the great men who flamed the Constitu tion.. Roman Catholics were then excluded from Par. liiorn.eitt. and in the Act of Union with Scotland it was expressly stipulated that Papists should not sit in Parliament. It the great offices could be filled by Ca tholics. and time petsons hold seats in Parliament, he might ask where was the necessity for a Protestant Chorea ? .Ministers called upon them to yield op the Constitution to expediency, and new political theory. The grounds ri their expediency were a . disunited Cabinet, and a dissatisfied population in Ireland. For the.e points the Constitution. so dear .to the hearts of Protestants, was to be destroyed. Ireland bad been many years in a state of disquietude. In 1798 the rebellion or iginated in a Jacobin conspiracy—ln the present unfortunate state of Ireland they trace the cau-es of all the disunion to the Catholic Association and the Fortpshllling Freeholders. Some secret poli tical theory bad prevented the Government trom arming for the pies: siltation of the public peace. The Protestants of Ireland had ever shown themselves to be the constant friends of British inte rests, and to their constancy and bravery was mainly owing the vie bodes which established the Revolution in 168 d. He called upon the House not to precipitate such a measure. but to give the Protestant subjects of his Majesty time for its consideration. The great body of public opinion had been decidedly expressed against it, and he thought this a question of all others its which the feelings of the people ought to be considered. If they were not capable of the understanding the nice psi its of reasoning upon the question, feelings had been banded down to them which made them shrink . from the danger with what he would call a species of political in stinct. It was Item the rs.crisachtug spirit ot the Roman Catholic reiigiseil that danger was to be apprehended, and that spirit would never i.e allayed until. step by step. it had obtained supremacy and the destruction of the vs sting establishments. POUT ASA N spite in support of the measures of the Go. vertinseut.and said that he hound the best security fur Protestantism in the petitions he fore the House. Sir C. DURRELL called the attention of the House to some information which be bad received front a highly respectable source. Mowing the interference of the Priesthood to prevent education in Ireland. Ile opposed the measure. I ord Cult It 1 rose, and, as be bad been the seconder of the Address to his Majesty, at the opening of the present Se-sion .4 Parliament, is a hich it was recommended that some measure oldie description of that now under she consideration of the Iltw.e should be adopted, be tossed permission shortly to declare his sentiments no the occasion. He seconded the Address which contained that recommendation.becauve he conceived that the adjustment of the question could be much better effected under the immediate hs. duets, of Government than upon the motion of any individual ; but at the same time he reserved to himself the right of essecising an unbiassed opinion with respect to the measure when it sited/ be .brought forward. sod be distinctly stated that he should be opposed toasty measure of relief which was not accompanied with 's.. dentsafeguards. However sanguine might have been the hones he had entertained that he should be able to agree with Ministers with respect to the important measure hi contemplation, be must confess that the Bill which was brew & forward last night had completely dissipated then—(Lear). He bad Is vain looked for sentrities--(Lood cries of " Hear.") In fact. with the exemption of the 40.. franchise being raised.to MA there was no attempt SC seaseities—(Hear, hear).

'caret. and with whom he had always agreed. and bad looped always to agree. and although It slight be more strictly cenformable to the forms of the House to state his objection to the measure in the Committee, be felt that be was pursuing a more straight-forward course by opposing in limbs a meow, to which he had the strongest objection, than by waiting till the Speaker should leave the Chair. with the Im” of obtaleing securities which he saw it was in vain to expect—(Oseers). Mr. HART DAVIS aid he felt cooSdent that if they parsed this measure s two years would not peas before they had the same agitation an d eons-mien in Ireland width they now vainly hoped to uppers. His long esperiene, of the. Catholics in that House taught hint that Ito conbdesce could be placed in them. and he therefore vote against the motion. lire IL COOPRR implored the Government mit to precipitate a ISISSAWA which Wait to abrogate a fundamental law of the Coo. stitution. against the teems of the Church and people. Mr. PRIM rose—Although 110 great a part of the discussion which bad taken place on the proposition which he had the honour of staking referred personally to himself, yet be smoldered himself relieved frost the necessity of shading• to those remarks, and should not avail himself of the pi isilege of replying to them. as he thought the interest of the question was so great, and so deeply involved in dificukies, that personal matter Astrid not be brought into cosi pinetion with it. Of all the appeal, that bad been made to him, Mete was one only to which be conceived himself called upon to reply. and that shield positively be the only explanation of the kind be should make throughout the entire proceedings. He had explained the reasons for his change of opinions—he bad explained why be considered it peeper to bring the quesdon before the House sea Minister of the Crown. It he bad not sites satisfaction in those sapbmatioos be could not help it. He felt be should be act kilotons were he to occupy the attention of the House by est any future personal attacks; but be repeated. there was one moisties to which be should then reply. A Noble Lord, the Member he believed foe Anglesey, had complained of the change that had takes pkee in his (Mr. Peers) sentiments. He believed tbste•Were to be bend in the able Lord's own family some hosetwable examples of a similar change. The tart of UXBRIDGE denied that any such change had taboo pease fable family. • Mt. PEEL coistiamd—He mi;ht be smog, but if he vs et:Accord isght the Noble Lords brother had. during detest bursitis of Parliament, in' a manner which re flected on him the highest credit, come forward' and metaled-04*i' opinions en the Catholic Question were ititaased, that-tie had sOshe reason: to induce him to.distaje said th , se reasons he mast . ' ttllily.staassitst die -111 use. He (Mr. Peel) oils in leaded so allude to this as 'effecting hooey:on the Noble Lewd. The Nook Eat l(thbo idge) had .sled why,in 1827, be( Mr. Peet) had not taken the same course which he ssi.. in 1824, why he had nottunsented W assistldr. Canning if • • • in the formation of an Administiation, or in the adjust-, meet of the Catholic question ? The question was dis • cussed in the year 1827. and lost in the year 1828. On I the contrary. took the same course that be did in 18Y.5, and in the debate in the year 1827 he stated the course be had pursued in 1828 precisely as he had d o ne o n Thursday night. When he found himself in a minority in the year 1828, he waited on his Nsible Friend; Lord Liverpool. and told him, that in conse quence of being so left in a minority, he found it ne-1 cessary to retire from office. The reply given by his Noble Friend was, that his determination to retire would also determine his (Lord Liverpool's). He then thought he Mould best consult the interests of the country by continuing in office until a new Parliament should give an opinion on the question. In 1827 it gave that opi nion, and resisted the claims of the Roman Catholics. This, of course, decided him as to the line of conduct he then pursued; but in 1828 the question took a drf fereut turn, and he was again left in a minority. Throughout the discussion of 1827, Mr. Canning him self admitted that he (Mr. P.) could ant retain office as Secretary for Home Affairs, opposed on this question to the head of Government ; he admitted throughout the impossibility of his (Mr. P.'s) joining his Admiui ttStioll, and from the very commencement of the dis cussion he regretted the necessasy separation which had taken place, and, to use his own words, "he h sped to (ion it should not last long." He had then, however,', still retained his opinions on the Catholic questionond he and his Rt. Hon. Friend both agreed that it would not be' for the good of his Majesty's service that he should act under hts Right Hon. Friend. having a majority in the House of four against the measure his Right Hon. Friend had introduced. In 1828 it was proposed that he should return. He saw that the time was come when an attempt to settle the question must be m ode, and he determined to lend himself to that settlement. The Right Hon. Gentleman here posed a high cubs. Oulu on the memory of Lord Liverpool. and read ass extract from a speech made by Mr. Canning. fr sin which it appeared that an application had been made to his Ma jesty flora a quarter which he should not mention. advis ing him to form an united Administration on the basis of resistance to the Catholic Claim, and that Lord Liver pool, when applied to oo the subject. had declared that he for one would never consent to become the member of such an Administration, and that be thought it would be extremely difficult to form such an Adminirration. He (Mr. P.) thought that when Lord Liverpool refused to join it, it would not only have been difficult, but im possible, to form a Cabinet on the principle of perpou sl exclusion. These facts were sufficient answer to those who now culled for an exclusive Protestant Government. An Hon. Friend of his had deprecated precipitation in carrying the present measure. Apart (tom the various discussions that had taken place for the Ikt sixteen years, and solely referring to the isolated measure that he had introduced, he would ask, could the charge of precipitation be made against him? The measure was mentioned on the first day of the present fies.ion; the King's Speech recommended it in terms which could nut be mistaken ;and when theHon.Member for Dorset had asked him what the nature of the measure should be. he gave the general ens wer,that it should be a removal of alt disabilities, accompanied with some ex ceptions. This occurred on the Sib February, and it was now the 6th Match, and no step had yet been taken. The Right Honourable Gentleman then proceeded to notice and reply t i the objections asking out of the unquali fied nature of the Emancipation proposed, and the in• efficiency of the securities, and concluded, amidst great cheering, by contending that no answer, nor attempt at answer, bad been given to his question of the previous night, namely, what was to be done in the event of its being reseved not to grant Emancipation? The Earl of UXBRIDGE rose, and made a few observations which were totally inaudible in the gallery, the Noble Laid having two interrupted by cries of " Spoke," and " Question " The gallery was then cleared tor a division and the numbers were: For the motion 545 Aping it IGO Majority lu When strangers were admitted to the gallery. we Wend the Home in Committee, and learned that the resolution was agreed to Mr. Secretary PRIM then proposed that the Committee should adieu's until Monday, and the Resolution should then be reported. what the understanding that no division should be taken open moving for leave to bring in the 8.11. The House then resented. The other Ostlers of the Day were then disposed of, and the Mouse adjourned at a few mistress barons Tram &Mice. 'l' H 14: EVENING STAR.

On former occasions large majorities have voted for going into a Committee,. but the Bill has been subsequently lost. Two Estates of the Realm happily remain to be Xonsulted sler the Commons have passed the Bill— namely, the Peers and the KINO ; and if the people are strongly opposed to it, as we sincerely bzlieve them to be. their voice will be attended to by those Estates of, ;he Realm. as•it has been on many other occasions of danger to the religious and civil liberties of the nation. Tile Report of the Committee is to be brought up on Monday, and the Bill founded on the Resolutions to be presented and lead a first time. The consideration of the question is then to be postponed tiil the following ►Monday; and in that week we fully expect that Peti tions sufficient to fill both Houses of Parliament will be . t presented against the measure from all parts of the kingdom. After the most deliberate consideration of the speech delivered ►y Mr. Pam on Marsalay evening. we ran come to no other conclusion 'ban that the Right Hen. Gentleman bas made out a case p►oving conclusively that most of the evils now existing in Ireland have arisen from the divided opinion of the Govornment fir several years past on the subject of the Ca'hulic Question; but that he utterly failed in showing the ea pediency, necessity, or justice, of a departure from the spirit of our C , listitution, for the purpose of satisfying the demagogues who have been too long permitted to inflame the minds of the people of I•d•nd, wish the sedifon spouted folth at the meetings of the Catholic Association. Mr. Nat. evidently felt the weakness of this part of his case. and adroitly enough directed his eloquence towards making oat a jus ification of hi► own conduct, rather than showing the impossibility of the Government taking an opposite course from that which they have chosen. No one can doubt, slier having seen the rapid conversion of so many Members, in consequence of the change of opinion of the leading Membets of Government on this great question, that if Mr. Put. and the Duke of Wuxi:co unt bad adhered to their principles, and boldly de. dared that uncompromising opposition to the Cacholie Claims was the principled their Cabinet. s very ready submission would have followed from numbers who had moderately advocated Catholic Emancipation, an. that as numbers in the Hi use were neatly balanced 'ben the question was considered by the Cabinet as an open one. the majority woulJ have been immense when the Government was resolute on non-concession. Mr. CAS. NINO and Lord CASTLEREAGH, br.th advocates for Emancipation. voted against it *hen forming a part of Mr. PERCIVAL'S Ad/111111WstiOR. which as built on the principle of an unbending resistance. It Mr. Paai had possessed the segoletion and the talent of Mr. Pan ama, the present crisis would never have arrived. The Paris Papers of Wednesday, and the Gazette de Frawce of Thursday morning, arrived last night. The latter contains some information of the nature of the answer given by the Rats EFFENDI to the Minister of thtNetherlands respecting the proposals of M.JAusawr. It does not appear that the Pone bad consented to re cognise the Armistice exacted by the Ter aty of the 6th of July ; bet symptoms were snani , ested of a desire for the return to Constantinople of the Ambassadors of Great Britain and Fiance. Every thing cohfirm, u• in the belief which we before expressed, that the SULTAN would most willingly renew relations of trinity with those Powers if they would separate themselves from Russia; and the recent advice' from St. Petersburgh lead us to expect that this separation will shady take place ; the tone which the Russian Government has lately assumed being such as is not well calculated to preserve friendly relations with this country and Fiance. It appears that while alum and dismay pervade the whole Protestant population of this counuy, at the un qualified emancipation art Roman Catholics, which has been proposed by his Majesty's Ministers, the Catholics are by so means satisfied with part of the measures intended. They have already declared their determi nation to oppose the eatension of the elective franchise in Ireland from 40s. to IW. A Meeting for this object was held yesterday, at the Thatched.hi.use Tavern, in St. James's-street. when a proposition was made by Mr. °Torii/au, and seconded by Lord KILLZSN, that application be immediately made to Sir FRANCIS Mis sal.; requesting that he and his friends would oppose that measure by every effort in their power. Mr. Law. Lass also gave notice, that he would this day move that a Petition be presented to the HOW! of Commons against raising the franchise. Thus we learn—first, that the Catholics will not be satisfici—and secondly, that they intend to hold regular meetings in London for the prosecution of all their objects. An unconditional 'intender to them of power, will alone satisfy them— and having attained that power, what will become of Protestants and Protestant E.tablishmet►t.? The Committee appointed to inquire into the Election for the County of Clare have decided unanimously, that DANIEL O'CoWWELL, Esq. ha. been July elected, thereby ebtabli.liing the point that a Roman Catholic may be elected a Member of Parliament. This decision does not affect the question as to his taking his seat, which, according to the construction heretofore' given to all the Acts of Parliament bearing upon the ques tion, and to the universal custom of Parliament, he cannot do without taking certain oaths, which, as a Catholic, he cannot take. In the present state of the care, however, it is probable that Mr. O'Cowou.t. will wait the fate of the Bill now to be introduced by Mr. Past., which, if mulled, will enable him to take his ,eat without objection. If. happily, that Bill should be lost, then Mr. O'Conum.t. may try and try in v,in, to gain admis%ion to the House by the construction which he has supposed may be pat upon the several Acts.
