Our Gazette contains the following observations on the Answer published at Stockholm to the Danish Declaration of War : " The King of Sweden must have little respect for his people, if he can suppose then'' to be so unacquainted with the events of our time, that he may be permitted to confound effects with their causes, by representing the alliance of Denmark with France as a caste of the present war, when it is to be considered, as all Eu rope knows, as a consequence of the treacherous attack of Eng land. The King of Sweden thinks he can so blind the eyes ct the Swedish nation, that he can make them believe that the war in which Sweden is engaged, is a defensive war, whereas it is an offensive one, which it has cost the King of Sweden much ti aubic to procure, as he has done all in his power to kindle its games. " The difference, the very great difference, between the policy of our Government and that of the King of Sweden has tken, that the former has with the greatest care endeavoured to secure to its people the blessings of peace ; while the latter appears only 'to have had for his object to sacrifice the blood of his subjects, bring on the calamities of war, and to lay waste their peaceable habitations. All see with surprise the King of Sweden, whose constant restlessness, and whose false policy has extended the theatre of war so far to the North, yet represents himself as the Sovereign who had offered peace and tranquillity to the Baltic and its coasts. But he has rend, red his love for peace too manifest for such an offer to be confided in. " AL er having made every exertion, for a series of years, to become involved in a war, and having at length obtained his ot ject, and shown that he knew how to enter into a war inconside rately, and how to maintain it with folly and obstinacy after he had been compelled entirely to abandon the first theatre of his war, it was believed that true policy and regard for the welfare of his subjects would have induced hint to live in peace and good understanding with his neighbours, and to find a refuge in the pa :ience of a magnanimous people,against a stortn which he himself had raised. His sense of danger on the one hand, and of his feebleness on the other, might probably inspire him with the wish to see thh Baltic maintained free front a foreign fleet. " While in Germany he wished to set bounds to the victories of the Emperor Napoleon, and used every endeavour to persuade different Courts that this was his object, nor would he pledge him self for the tranquillity and security of the Baltic front English ships ? Can we place more confidence in one of these professions than the other ? Can it be required of Denmark to trust the pa cific promises of England? Will they be held more sacred than those given last year, at the very moment when an attack was i 'tended ? " A Sovereign can have little respect for the truth, who can say to his nation, whose danger and sufferings are the only con sequences of an alliance with England, ' I have concluded an al liance with England to obtain the means of defence for Sweden r Was Sweden then in danger ? Who threatened Sweden with an attack ? Against whom was this protection and aid necessary ? Every Swede of sense knows, as well as all Europe, that all his losses, and all the dangers that threaten him, are the consequence of this alliance with England, which no self-defence rendered ne ceseary. Had this alliance not existed, Sweden would still have possessed Pomerania, would still have possessed Finland, and the country would not have been a prey to famine, and all the misery which wet- brings with it. Were all the offers actually made to the King of Sweden, which he has signified were made, England is much indebted to him for not accepting them; but the Swedish nation is not. And if it were prudence not to accept some of these offers, it is to be regretted that they could not induce him to depart from an alliance that must certainly have the most de structive consequences to his country. " Had the King of Sweden seen the true interest of himself and his country, the North would have preserved peace. Sweden would have still possessed Pomerania and Finland—Denmark her fleet and tranquillity—and England her honour. All these losses are thel consequences of the policy of the King of Sweden. How often has Sweden been warned by the powers of Europe ? Had we received such warning, our fleets would have been in safety, and ready, if necessary, to guard, in conjunction with our North ern Brethren, the safety of our seas from theTyrantsof the Ocean." MADRID, MAY 13. The Grand Duke of Berg resides now in the Pa lace. The public service goes on as usual. Perfect I repose reigns in the city. We expect every moment tidings of the choice of our new King. The abuses of every kind which exhausted our country, would at last have brought it to destruction, and without doubt we should not have escaped the horrors of a bloody revolution. Now we entertain the hope that our new Sovereign will gradually, and without violence, re. store our old Monarchy to its youth again, and that our longing for amelioration and reform will be at length gratified. PARIS, MAY 22. Yesterday the Senate assembled in order to hear the proposal of a Senatus Consultum, uniting Parma, Pia cenza, and Tuscany with the dominions of France. MAY 23.—0 n the 13th instant the Emperor held a review of several corps of infantry and cavalry, near the castle of Marrac at Bayonne. In the evening, at six, their Majesties went on board their barge, accom panied by several Generals, and visited the Dock yards. A vast number of people were present to witness the disembarkation, and testified their joy at beholding their Sovereigns, by exclamations of " Long live the Emperor ! Long live the Empress I" MAY 24.—Their Spanish Majesties are daily ex pected at Fontainbleau, where every thing is in pre paration. Several baggage-waggons have already been sent from hence thither, and a squadron of Chas seur Cavalry of the Imperial Guard arrived yesterday, which will be followed by a detachment of the horse guards. According to letters from Tours, his Ma jesty was to arrive on the 21 st. The Queen, Maria Louisa, was not expected till the 25th. On the 18th instant, Baron Vincent, Major-General in the Austrian service, passed through Nancy, on his way to this city. M. Alopeus, lately Ambassador of Russia at the Court of London, passed through the same town on his return to Russia. At Argen ton, at Limoges, and all the towns on the road from Toulouse to this Metropolis, guards of honour have been raised for the service of his Majesty the Emperor and King, on his return from Bayonne. The Funds are 87 fr. 30 c.: the Bank Shares 1348 fr. 75 c. GHENT, MAY 8. Pursuant to the commands of his Majesty the Em peror, the National Guards in the districts near . the coasts of the department of the Scheldt have been put into active service, to the number of 500 men, from 20 to 40 years of age. • Their destination is the island of Cadiaat. This town is to furnish 103 men. FROM THE FRONTIERS OF TURKEY, APRIL 90. 'The change in the Government of Moldavia and Wallachia has been proclaimed at Jassy, by a procla mation from the Russian General Prince Prosotowski. It appears to have taken place in consequence of a treaty between the Russian Government and Prince Ypsilanti. The preparations for the opening of the Campaign are altogether suspended on the part of the Russians. The Mussulmans also are quiet; and even that lover of war, Mustapha-Bayraktar. GENOA, MAY 4. A man of war of 74 guns, called De Breslau, was yesterday launched here, on which occasion the Sea prefects gave a splendid breakfast. With inward joy we see, that in this manner the French marine is every where tranquil and increasing, while that of our enemy is wasting in useless blockades. A few fortunate Expeditions like that of the Toulon fleet latterly, or a peace which England will net long be •able to resist, are sufficient to furnish us with a num ber of experienced sailors, and to put our fleet on a balance with that of the oppressors of the ocean. We already meet with assistance in the mariners of Den mark, whom the English have forced to be their ene mies and our friends. Again a strong detachment of sailors of this nation have mar( lied under the direc tion of a Lieutenant from Italy, and arrived here yesterday, on their way to Flushing. EOLOGNA, MAY 5. Some English frigates are again gradually ventur ing into the Adriatic, but not with a formidable force. We hear from Ancona and Manfredonia, that they have shewn themselves off the coast. However, the force in Venice will soon become so considerable, that no small-armed vessels will readily dare to enter the bay : besides the vessels already fitted out, great acti vity is employed th_•re in building three ships of the line, and smaller vessels. The Russian detachment which wintered in Venice and Trieste is still there, so that the combined squadron will be considerable. PARLIAMENT4Rr PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 2. The House met at ten o'clock, and proceeded till four in the Roxburgh Appeal " Kcr and Kcr v. !noes," Mr. Gillies was beard for the Appellants, and Mr. B >yle (Solicitor -General for Scot lane) for the Respondent.---Furthcr hearing to-morrow. 'nee Irish Militia Volunteering Bill, and the Interment Bill, passed through Committees and were reported. The Pauper Lunatic Bill was brought up from the Commons by Mr. Wharton and other Members, and read a first time, as were also sonic prier-re Bills brought up by Mr. Lygon, Mr. LIII. son, and other Member:. AIASsEY's DIVORCE BILL. On the question for the second reading of the Bill to Dissolve the Marriage of the Rev. Charles Massey with Mary Ann his wife, Counsel and evidence in support thereof were called to the Bar. Mr. Fon blanque attended as Counsel. The circumstances and the result of this case have some time since been before our Readers. A brief recapitulation of the leading facts may not be unac ceptable. It appeared that the Petitioner, the Rev. Charles Massey, is Rector of the Parish of Doonass, in Clareshire, in Ireland ; that he was married to Mary Ann Rosslewin, daughter of the late John Rosslewin, Esq. of Portferytis in the same county, in March 1796, by whom he has a son, now eleven years of age ; that in January 1804, Mrs. Massey eloped with the present Marquis of Headfort, and with whom she has since cohabited ; that in conse quence, Mr. Massey brought his action for damages against the Marquis hi the Irish Common Pleas, and was awarded ten thousand pounds damages, which have since been paid. The evidence adduced in proof of the fact of the adultery before the action for damages was brought, not appearing to their Lordships to be quite as con clusive as that brought forward in the Courts below, it was so intimated to the Counsel. The result was, that the House agreed to adjourn the further consi deration of the Bill, until similar evidence should be produced, or it should be satisfactorily proved that such evidence could not now be procured. The Bill was then ordered to tra taken into farther considera tion on to-morrow se'nnight. I Adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. PARNELL postponed his motion for a Commutation of Tythes in Ireland from Wedotsday till Mondays stating that he undersood Petitions were about to be presented on this subjeist from the counties of Kilkenny and Kerry, as well as from Queen's County. There was ordered to be bid before the House an Account of the way in which the sum of 500,000. granted for the Im provement of Inland Navigation in Ireland had been disposed of. SCOTCH JUDGES DILL. The LORD ADVOCATE having moved that the House do go into a Committee on this Bill, Mr. BANKES objected to any further proceeding in the Bill till the necessary information on the sub ject was before the House. There was no reason for pressing the measure, it being unnecessary, and the-e being already a sufficient fund in the hands of the Crown out of which such salaries or pensions ought to be granted. A Report of the Finance Committee had been ready for nearly two months, but circum stances had occurred to prevent it from being laid be fore the House. The Report embraced this subject, and he was anxious that the Learned Lord would agree to postpone the business only for a week, that the House might be in possession of the inquiries of the Committee on :he subject. The LORD ADVOCATE said there was as little probability of his agreeing in opinion with the Ho. nourable Gentleman on this subject at the expiry of a week as at the present moment. All he wished was, to place the Judges of Scotland, in case of their being obliged to retire from age or infirmity, on the same footing with the Judges of England, and that such provision should be made from a fund which would be permanent. Mr. J. ABERCROMBY thought it better to wait for the Report, and not to fix a permanent burthen on a fund which they might afterwards see reason to be convinced ought never to have been loaded with it. On the question for the Speaker's leaving the Chair, the House then divided, Ayes 63—Noes 31—Majo rity 32. When strangers were re-admitted into the Gallery, the House was in the Committee, and the Chairman was reading the Clause entitling any of the Judges of the Courts of Session or Justiciary, the Lord Chief Baron, or any of the Barons of Exchequer, to retire on three-fourths of their salary. On this Clause, Sir JOHN NEWPORT proposed as an afriendmcnt, that the words " or Barons of Ex chequer" should be omitted. Mr. HORNER said, it was altogether a mistake to compare the duties of the Barons of the Exchequer in Scotland, with those that were discharged by the Court of the same name in Westminster-Hall. The former were merely a Board of Revenue. It lad been justly said, that on an 'average they had not twelve causes before them in twelve months. During the Term before last, he was informed there were only 'three causes, and during the Term just finished not a single one. The LORD ADVOCATE said, the whole of the revenue questions in Scotland came before the Court of Exchequer. If it were once to be laid down, that persons who from age or infirmity were incapable of instructing the Jury, a right should be allowed to con tinue Judges, the complaint of there being little re venue business in Scotland, would soon cease to ope rate. It was necessary to take care that the Judges in that Court, as well as in in every other, were efficient. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY was decidedly of this mind • but he presumed to thi'k it would hardly be said, that the Barons of Exchequer had hitherto been inefficient. Therefore, there could be the less neces sity for the present Bill so far as they were concerned. He was informed, that it was qute consistent with the duties of this office, that the person exercising it, should reside in a foreign country. He expected to have heard from his Learned Friend (the Lord Advo cate), some reasons for the present measure, but I e was disappointed. The Learned Lord had said that 22 causes had stood in the paper for trial during the last Term ; but every Gentleman present knew, that there was nothing extraordinary in this, as not one of them might have been insisted in. The SOLICITOR GENERAL of SCOTLAND thought it invidious to make any distinction between 4 the Barons of Exchequer, who were Judges of one of the Supreme Courts, and the Judges of the other Courts. The labour, unquestionably, could not be compared with that of the Judges of the Court Session ; but still their duties were important. 7 hey had even to controul the grants of tl:e Minister him- self. Mr. J. ABERCROMBY said it had been admitted that the Barons of Exchequer in Scotland came in place of the Old Lords of the Treasury. The duties of course, which devolved on them, : - e:e not, and could not he judicial. The House was row called on to give Tensions to the name of Barons of Exchequer, for in no other way did they resemble the persons in this country exercising judicial functions. There were many offices of a ministerial nature, the duties of which were important, but still the persons holding them were not allowed to retire cn salaries. Mr. ROSE supported the clause as it stood. Mr. BANKES declared, that all the explanations made by Gentlemen acquainted with the duties of the , Barons of Exchequer in Scotland, did not satisfy his mind that their offices were judicial. He could con ceive it perkctly possible that they might go by the same name, and not have the same duties to perform with the Barons of Exchequer in Ireland. A person !night-once belong to a Court of Justice, and yet his character not be judicial. As for instance, his Right Honourable Friend opposite was Chancellor of the Exchequer, and head of that Court ; and, on the principle now contended for, must be entitled to a salary on retiring from his office ; but this, he pre sumed to think, would hardly be maintained. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL Of SCOTLAND explained. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. said, that it was a matter of ncr minor consideration that, by the Act, the Judges held their situations Islam der bone se gerserint ; and that the case of the Sheriffs of Counties in Scotland, alluded to by an Honourable Gentleman, was not at all analogous, as such officers were not thereby removed from any pro fession in the duties of which they had been pre viously employed. He denied that these pensions were so much for the benefit of the individuals con cerned as for the benefit of the public, by securing an adequate and uninterrupted administration of justice. Mr. WINDHAM said, that the question ought to be argued upon the general principle of grants upon superannuation, and net upon the strair.ed analogy of reducing the Scots Judges to the same standard as the Judges of this country. Such a h ass . m:lat'oa re minded him of the cld fable, " How we apples swim." And as to the p'urality of duties, the divi sion of such labour was more like the division of bu siness between Jack and Tom :—" What are you doing Jack ?"—" Nothing, Sir." " What are you doing Tom ?".." Helping Jack, Sir." (a laugh).— Let Gentlemen speak of it as they would, it was, after all, nothing more than spreading a small substance upon a great extent. It did appear to him to be a provision not at all called for. Mr. ROBERT DUNDAS thong} t it was a suffi cient answer to the objections why the Welch Judges were not pensioned as well as the Scotch, to remind the House that the Welch Judges had, with their ap pointment, the benefit of their practice, and of such im portance was that privilege considered, that there were many English barristers who would not accept of the place of a Scotch Judge, and who would yet be very glad to get that of a Welch Judge. Gentlemen at the other side had had recourse at the same time to two arguments that destroyed each other. It was argued that the place was a sinecure, and should not other wise have a pension on retirement, and at the same time it was apprehended that the Scotch Judges would be anxious to retire and enjoy the profit of a pension without the trouble of the office. This was saying, it was and was not a sinecure ; either must be given up : it must be admitted, either that, if it is a sinecure there would not be such inducement to retire, or that it is not a sinecure, and therefore worthy of a future com pensation, when the Judge retires through old age or infirmity. The Committee then divided on the amendment. Ayes 41—Noes 84—Majority against amendment 43. On the admission of strangers, the House was receiving the Re port of the Committee of Ways and Meow, and the different Resolutions were severally read and agreed to, and a Bill ordered accordingly. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER acquainted the House, that, in consequence of some accidental inadvertency, the BUI, which had gone through that House and been assented to by the Lords, for continuing the Commissioners of the Public Expenditure in the business relating to the department of Mill i tary Inquiry, had been left out in the commission held yesterday, and that of course, not having received the Royal Asssot, it had not pass'd into a law. The preceding Act under which the Com missioners sat expired yesterday. He hoped, therefore, that under such peculiar circumstances the House would suffer a new Bill to be brought in, which might be read a first and second time, and then committed. The SPEAKER observed on the novelty of the proceeding, and thought it should be marked with the serious notice of gm House. At the same time, that in consideration of the accident stated to have occurred, the House might with reason be disposed to yield to the urgency of the case, without pursuing it to any-de gree of jealous scrutiny. Mr. PONSONBY thought it would he expedient to make a special entry of the ease upon the Journals. The SPEAKER did not conceive the statement of stfhatt; weight to warrant a proceeding of so grave a nature. Leave was then given to bring in a Pill to revive and continue an Act of the 45th of the King, for appointing CommissionLrs Public Fapenditure ; which was brue4ht in accordingly, read first and second time, committed, and the report received. Mr. GRATI'AN presented two Petitions, which were laid pp the Table--the one from certain Grocers and Spirit Retailer; in Dublin, praying relief against the operation ef the Spirit Retaa Prohibition Act ; and the other front certain Prisoners, confined for debt in the Sheriff's Prison, in Dublin, praying rditi, The Irish Glebe Clouse Bill was thrown out in consequence of an amendment by the Lords; but it appvaring that their Lot& ships had no intention to encroach on the privileges o f the House, leave WAS given, on the motion of Sir A. WEL-LkSLEY, to brie f in another Bill to the same etTect. The Military Conunissioters 11.11 was read a third lima and passed. LONDON VACCINE iNsTITVTION. Sir THOMAS TURTON presented a Petition from the Pro. prietors of the London VUClfie institution, detailing their servic e , in the great cause of Vaec.ination, noel praying the support of that House. IR ft tre the Pet it ion was read, Mr. I'i.'l.l.Flt rose and observed with er.niderable warmth, that a grus7.er forgery had never been submitted to that House. The SeIiAILER interrupted the fionottralde Member, and re minded him that the Petition had rut been yit rt ad ; and that when it was, the House would be better nabled w judge of the nature of its contents. Mr. FULLEIt resumed his Mt amid considerable laughter. Sir 'rURTON (the Petition having been read) moved, that it do lie on the table, when Mr. FULLER again rosessad Valorized for his abi i 7t ui : c a a u t: o s a : of rising before. ' He said that this la:nines, was a gross cheat ; a palpaisitriek t 9 swindle the public ; or, if it was not absolute swindling,it went very near the wind. When they to solicit his-subscription. he thought they were at the !arid of some convivial corporation (a Laugh ),but what did they turn nut to be? A parcel of Quakers ur Presbyters, or whatever they wzre called—they had got at first five guineas frcm him—but tlte no. went he dttected them, he thrtataned them with a Bow-street Of ficer, and a charge for swindlieg ; and the dread of detection soon frightened them into a re-deiivery of his fve guineas. What a shame then was it to see their cause espoused by any man in that House—a Member of Parliament should be asitzmed of having any thing to do witirsuch fellows (a laugh). lie was nut to sup. pwe, th t :he Honotirable Baronet shared in their gains (a laugh). That G. mleman might laugh if he ple;ls,d, I.r.d kok and spent 'need e. Wee a lawyer (a laugh,), but it was a poor way to spew hi ..s. If ctl, ar.d to make a noise and stir fur notoriety (a laugh ). H: hoped the House wou:d not cuut:ten:.nce such it piece of awn )ling. Sic THOMAS I'URTON was sorry the Honourable Gentle. mast was nct in as good lit to tun with himself, .is the House seemed to be with him. lle would say, however, that it was not for that lit nvurable Gentleman to excite his resanunent. The petitien was taen ordered to lie on the table. VACCINAIION. Mr. ROSE observed, that the promoters of Vaccination were entitled to considerable reward. The Vaccine Inoculation had prevented much mortality, and having himself been a witness of many benefits arising from the invention, 1w considered ithis duty to promote the institution in such a manner that the virus might be administered in a proper way. He had no partiality for one professional Gentleman more than another; hut ht t las anxious that there might be an Institution for promo:leg the system, and that the practice might be placed under the direction of the Cols lege of Physicians. He was induced to make these observations in consequence of what had fallen from an Honourable Member on Vaccination ; but it was his intention to defer his Motion on the subject till Thursday next. AFFA;RS. Mr. CREEVEY rose to move for a document respecting East Indian Affairs, as a Report was about to be brought forward, on which a Motion would be made ford Grant to the East India Company. When the Committee appointed to inquire into East Indian Affair:, of which he was one, mado their Report, a docia.• meat had been produced by the Directors, by which it appeared, that there were twelve millions deficit on the part of tha Come pang, and that their Indian Finances ealle for instant relief ; he therefore claimed that the House might look at this before they voted away the public money. He blamed the conduct of the Committee to whom the East * lndia claim was referred, for not setting this document in their Report, and concluded by moving, " That there be laid before this House Copies of tho Ezpenition of the East India Company's Affairs," Mr. DUNDAS opposed the Motion, and defended the Com mittee. A long conversation then ensued between Lord A. Haantteir, __.— • • . Mr. WaiIMFORCt, Mr. Viz:4o2.oh the CJIANCILLOIL of the .1 E'en/Li/VIA, Mr. Timexle s Lord FOLSZSTOttt, and Sit Joao ANITAUSKLIt ; and Mr..4,:ipahtlEY finally comiented w e4tim. • tiiiew his Merlon. OYSTER FISHERIES. Mr .n ESTER N said, he should not rise to snake his motlo:t oA this subject, if he had not previously taken the advice of men ulti mately acquainted with the trade. The Oyster Fisheries on the , coast of F.ssex were of considerable importance ; the Public de rived great advantages from them, for many thousand seamen I were employed in these Fisheries, and rendered fit lor the Naval Service. 'fbe private Fisheries constituted a very large property, and the laws formerly made the act of navigating with drags on private oyster-beds a criminal offence ; but an Act had been pass ed since the year 1791, which made the offence supersedable fer Tony. The oysters generally lay in situations which exposed them to depredation, to the great injury of the owners, .std the only penalty, as the law now stood, on conviction of the offender, was As it was necessary that this trade should be carried on. : for the advantage of the Public, from whom it wai•entitled to • every protection, he shOuld move for leave to bring In a Bill to amend the law on the minket, and to provide for the more effec tual protection of the Oyster Fishery. The Motion was then put and agreed to. BANK OF IRELAND. The order of the'day being read for the House going into a Committee on the Bank of Ireland, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER expressed a wish that it should be postponed till some future reening, as the House had been considerably exhausted by the fatigue of last night. Lord HENRY PErry observed, that it was of material ins* portance to have this subject disposed of as soon as possible, as • many Members connected with Ireland were daily leaving town. The House then agreed to go into the Committee, but previ ously to the Speaker leaving the Chair, Lord HENRY PETTY moved, That it sho;;ld be reconurierr ded to the Committee to insert a clause allowing • people of the , Catholic Religion, but otherwise qualified with respect to pro perty, to become Governor, Deputy-Governor, and Directors of the Bank of Ireland. He urged the adoptiOn of that measure from the extreme necessity there was of conciliating the whole population of the United Kingdom at the present momentous crisis. lie recited various clauses from different Acts of the Irish Parliament, tending to prove that the Legislature never meant to exclude Catholics Irons beentiiing Members of Corporate Bodies, but merely to prevent them ocetpying places in the political Con stitution of the country. lie maintained the policy of the House acceding to his Motion, as it would be impossible tor the Catbo• lice, to whom it had reference, to entertain opinions, or engaso in any plan hostile to the Established Govertiment. Tint was sufficiently obvious from the necessary interest thy/ would have in the preservation of that property which would quality theft for the situations. Mr. FOSTER said the Bank of Ireland was instituted under the same regulations as the Bank of h.ngland. People professing the Catholic Religion were disqualified from having any share w . the Direction of the Bank of England, and he saw no reason why they should be admitted to a share in the Direction of the Bank of Ireland. The Catholics themselves had not expressed any wish to obtain that privilege which the Noble Lord proposed to grant them, although it was probable they would have long ago applied for it, had they conceived it beneficial for their interest. • • The CIUNCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the Mo tion, on the same grounds as Mr. FOSTaII. The Ca.nolics, said, had made no application for the privilege that was now pro posed to be granted them ; and It Nevoid be ridnuio as to grant them a favour they did not desire, after refusing to grant them what they had petitioned for. Mr. GRATFAN said, that the rejection of the Motion must excite uneasiness in the breasts of the whole Citholid Body. He trusted the House would Ast apprehend any danger from such Ca tholics as might be appointed, as they would be sworn to protect and support the Protestant Establishment: short .conversation ensued between Mr. Pracrear., Mee FOSTaII, and Lord HENAT FIRM' and the Housidivided For the Motion OS—Against of—Majority IS. • Adjoin:lS Xt Two o'clock. 4.c) filh, ON THE I • No THE eps tEeivvreosEeNchTui his it i e sd when Ise had ofienet hot in heaven about the 1 4 Na she mom angels which woe i g en seven trumpets. omi at the altar, having e J O to him much incense, I p l yrs of all saints upon 1 k g the throne.
