Ili them I see a rock.of liberty which noesower 'caul upset—l stein this measure that we may rest unwed of the sup port of every free man--of every Government--and under every dime. The Right Hod. Gentleman then' moved that the House resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, to .take into consideration the laws affecting his -Majesty's Romin Catholic tubjects. ' A greet number of *Members left the Haile iminedlately on his sitting down. The question baying been put, Mr. BANKER rose to add ress the l'tonse, but the confusion which prevailed in the House rendered the greeter per. Lion of his observations inaudible. The Right Honourable Mover bad called upon those who opposed him id answer the position that things could not be permitted to remain in their present state. With that answer be was furnished by the speeches of the Right Himoureble Gentleman' himself, during the last ten or fifteen years. • This wee a day of triumph for the Catholic Association, but one of humiliation for those who, like himself, were attached to the Protestant FataMiehments ollatbe country. he then referred to the conduct of the Government it respett to the Act ofi 525, and contended that it they were honest in the conviction of its neceesitc they wetw bound to have. come down to Parliament for other falters. The question was a mixed one, religious and political, and the Constitution prevented its separation. He saw great clin ger In the - admission of Catholics to both • Houses of Parliament, end that was now the question. Upon that , ground he would take his stand, and options the measure to the utmost of his power. Mr. O'NEILL addressed she House against the Mo.. ken' and quoted from former speeches of Mr. Peel and the Duke of Wellington, passive setting forth in the strongest light the dan ger of conceding to the Catholics, and showing that the lisevitable consequence of such , s step MUD lead to the subversioin of the Established Church. He had itched nothing which junibed. the , dotage in the Right lion.Reesesary's principles, or which proved that these dangerous measures were likely to have the effect of tranquillising Ireland. On the cemetery, the last tuidatiortiof that Catholic Association were directly in• the teeth of the Govern- 112 CD% and be must therefore congratulate them upon having brought forward a measure to create an instantaneous rising -in Ireland.— The' Hon. Manisa contended by observing, that the attempts of his Majesty's Government to chitin the measure down the throats of the people might be met by opposition they did not eipects'• • , Mr. THANT said, the principles of the Constituthm were so firmly established in his mitid, that al the eloquence the' Right Honourable Gentleman had displayed during !our bourse bad not been able to remove them. The Right Hunourabli 'Geo. tieman had certainly not made out' a case to 'warrant the awful change in contemplation. The great pleas of necessity wire a I divided Cabinet• and ungovernable House of Commons. in 'the endeavour to prove these points, the Right Honourable ben. tleman had so bewildered himself, that it was impossible to make a strong impression en the House. They had b cert. told the Protestant Church wouhl be protected by securities. His Majesty, in the Speech, said the Protestant Establishment' was to be secured._ He asked what were the securities? No Sects. rity Was offered, and after beating what had been stated that night, 'he rieeer'would rely on any Minister for securing' time, Protestant E tablishment. Great dependence might be Pieced on Roman Catholics by the Right Hon. Otutlenuit, but theft was a great difference between oaths which formed the foundation of religious opinions, and those which were to con/Goats good will to Protestants. He could never admit that the dcdaration propelled by his Right Hon Friend was at ail likely to contrail Roman Ca tholics, whed they took their seats in that House, in suyinestion which might concern the interest of. their own. Church. 'lle pre. tended securities were nothing more than' a matter of delusion.— There was not one of those school-boys "boiled been chatedwith signing Petitions sent to that House, who would not know that if Roman Catholics were admitted to Parliament, they would betas bee to act against Protestant, as they were on a former Decade's.— , The lion. Member, speaking as a Protestant, would rather give up the connection with (rased titan admit Roman Catholics to Par liament. He could assure the House there was DO diminution of feeling throughout the country. Hostility to the measure was strung, and it would ultimately prevaiL Sir IL INGLIS said, in risnig to deliver his sent.- menu, his anxiety was increased by finding aU the grounds changed upon which she question had previously rested. The discussion bad been introduced 'by his Right Hon. Friend upon new and dia dem propositions. It rested nut upon the argemssts urged when ft was last brought on by an Honourable Baronet (the Member foe; Westminster), but was bottomed on expediency. It w,u nut to rest at it formerly did, on tile right of the Roman Catholics to ask, and the right of Parliamoot to refuse; bat it was said !ardente:it Must coined,- botany the intenist-of.the public tequired coateasion. In deviating from the course of former proceedings, the onewity should be pressing.. It ought to be eapediency approaching to, Mao:tits Necessity—(Hear). The expediency of the Right lion. Gentleman wei founded on the state of Ireland, and a statement of the 'vita of a divided Cabinet. • Upon the presumed dilliceldesot -lbw Government the Right Honourable Gentleman had -resolved to bfthlge on the liberty of the' subjectimad the principles of the Constitution. The fist point to which the Right lion. Gentle man drew the attention of House was the state of ,Ireland.' He had described the state of parties in Ireland to be sods that it affected all the telethons of social life and the administration of justice. He begged to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman whether the evils in Ireland were co-existent with the Catholic Claims? aad whether the removal of disabilities would remove those effects whkh he (Sir li. Inglis) believed were not connected with them He ap: pealed to the Right Hues. Gent. whether in any period ei Irish his tory there were not found scenes of social misery ? He should con tend that the evils of Ireland existed long before the sword of Bag land wai drawn in Ireland—before England trod upon the sell of Ireland. Distress and disorder had prevailed in every period of Irish' Newry: They had displayed their l'esp-of-IYay Beyi, White Boys, the Bands of Captain Rock, and every description of violence bad been resorted tu, in order to find out arms. No man had ever before suggested the suspension of the Constitution as a cure for the evils of that unfortutiattecountry ; but it was only a suspension of the' Con stitutiou which the Government recommended ; the proposed measure involved the total overthrow of the Constitution of 1688, Tobias had remained unobanged during a century and a halt. No material atteratioi had been made in the Constitution since the Revolution. 'ln 1655 it obtained the greatest purity. In order to make out his case. the 'Right Honourable Gentleman should-have 'proved that the evils in Ireland were greater than st any former occasion, and that he had applied in vain all the resources in his hands with a view to the removal of those e%ils. But what.'after all, were the evils said to te? Some persons amid not get their wheat cut; another could not get cis hay cut. There were other evils of a different character, but none to justify such an aiteratiou of the laws as that proposed by the flight ilonoorable Gentleman. The second ground" for the adoption of the measure was the divided state of the Cabinet. Ii had been stated by his Hon. Friend, that if his Right Hon. Friend bad only professed that he retained •his opinion,, be might have persuaded his 'colleagues to unite against further concessions.. Ile certainly thought, the attempt might have been made. Toe Right ilea . Gentleman asked whe ther it were possible to form a Government united agahtn the question? `His opinion was, that such s Government mightThave' been formed. He should nor hove ;shed- the Right Heim. ind Gallant General to change his opinion, because that Right Hun: and Gallant Officer had always been consistent, but be would ash the Right Hon.. Secretary whether it would nut have been better to ask the Ministers to change than to change the Constitution, against the impression witch be admitted be still felt? The third grcand of expediency was the evil tubing from the present state of the Government, end it was urged by the Right Ho nourable ,Gcntlemtn that he ale uld have been left in a minority upon the question. It was rather remarkable that the dresd of minorities should he so strong, because the fact was, majorities upon the question of late had been diminishing. Mr Canning's majority was :29--laet year ft was only six; so that it was plain inajoiiiies bad diminished. if the Right Honourable Gentleman ' dad used the irifiueoce whicio.belonged to the Minister of the Crown, and had directed that influence to the bringing forward talent which was to be found in that Route, it would' not have bees necessary for the Right Hon. Gentleman to strike Ms odours.. 'there would have been encnitt to rally round him; but the Right Houourable Gentleman had been led away by an idea of evils to make concessions, whilst thole evils were not of the magnitude supposed.. He was not one of these who were insensible to the • horrors of a civil war ; no man could look with pleasure at civil war; but the Honourable Baronet denied that was the alternative. There was no appearance of it. When we Consider the van superiority of toter which the Government of the toontry pea• sewed, he was the more surprised at the strange determination of the Government to surrender the Constitution, and Protestant As eentkusey. They would have had force enouglet to Out down Popish Agitators, and to have secured to the Proustian, ol Ireland sad England that which their ancesten purchased with their blood. Civil war was to be avoided; but be saw, unfortunately, by this measure, a chance of civil war. It might occur in this country in a few days--(ilear). He Thought with the Hen. Member for Dorset, *at they were only extending the sail fa h future day.. Wh e n the eau day came, it would be found theyled placed Is the , hands of the Romaaestbelics power. Ii migist he foetid Decamp to I.Mo:esthete xad admit would be Wed Ost Amy bail dialed the heart, of Protestants by giving the Roman Catholic' possession of the bulwarks of the Constitution, and surrendering those la w s which it had been the policy of the Government for ages to main tain. The Government bad not placed wildcat realism upon their ono efforts. a'bey did not act as Stateanten e bta had saerificerall - the4rweeratiOn of their places. He did not say they had been antellUng, to' Make sacrifices, but theybad tensity miscalaislated their men artagth. 'The/ had miscakulated the spirit and support they might have received from the people. and had bowed to the efforts of brute force. The Noble Dube at the head of the Go. vernmeet bad never ventured to calculate upon the Fidel voice of public opinton'there embattled against him. That voice was stiU rising in defence of every thing most dear to Rnelishmen. It had been said, what could be the harm of admitting a few Rumen Catholics among them? If the Hon. Member for Durham would .allow him to refer to what posted on a former night, be should say tie questioa was not merely whether bee or biz Roman Catholics were to be introduced to Parliament, but it was giving power to Ministers, by which at any time they might command a majority in that House. He admitted that the Roman Catholics might have claiMs for services in the Army and Navy, but as milk iufused int-) the blood vessels might occadon death, so would the admission et Roman Catholics to the Legislature destroy our Protestant Laws and Constitution. The introduction of a single Roman Catholic into that House would be the commencement of a system which must terminate, not to day or teemorrow, but which would ulti mately terminate in the total oeerthrow of the institutions of this Protestant country. That was the opinion of the Hon. Baronet.— It via also the opinion of the country at large ; and his hope was that the same opinion would be held In the hizheo Tarter. Sit G. MURRAY had never given his ',pinion on this question, and therefore found it necessary to state his senti ments, not 0017 as a Member of the House, but as a hlmister The only opportunity he had of speaking on the subjccj was in 1825. when he gave his vile for putting down Ille Cetholie Asw elation. Although he gave his vote against tee Associetiun, he did not go further. At that period lie had a desire to support lilt claims of the CathOliC3, but saw so many &Settle s ' that be en tirely abstained from giving his vote. lie soon a:ler lead the Luna:at to command the army it Ireland, and ,he wet enabled to see the situation of the country. He found that it had fel en into a state in which it could not possibly remain—all the ties ul soliety ap- peared broken. Tp go back appeared impossible ; . they could not resort to coercion condatent with the principles of the Cr!tish Con stitution—(Hear). i An Honourable Baronet appeared to think it was the destin; Of Orland to fall a sacrifice on every perind.and sbe was doomed to be torn in pieces by cotietcting passioes. It was also stomata by some that she was incapable of receivine the blessings of civilization. Ile was convinced that the people were! as capable of making advances in . ails, sciences, and imluatry, as; any nation upon earth. It only resulted those coneeniuns, the advantages . of which thr Hum Hamlet could test see. lie re-' juiced in the change of policy which ilistingradted his Right lion.' Friend, because it would promote peace and good • will, and secure to Protestants the safety of the Constitution. The ?Lee Baronet had used the words" brute force." He bats bee:, in the army, and during his professional life had divested himself of prejudices com mon to persons in civil life. In ! 1 e army they knew no differen'm between Catholics and Prntettants. They fought together in the field—they slept fa the same tenteard knew no difference of feeling,l except it was ins desire to excel in the discharge of their duty to; King and Courtry—'Hear`. They were killed together, and they lay In the same grave, carrying with them the same hope - of a REDSO47:II. The Ilea. and Gallant Baronet defended J he saga • sure. It would prove of treat benefit to the country. Lord MILTON retained thanks t, the Right Hein. Gentleman, for rte measure which he bad propounded. He ad mired the simplicity of it. It was one.of the attributesof wisdom to be plain and simple in measures for the public good. The Noble Lord denied that the measure was at variance with the Conaltu. tip, and contended that it was framed in the true spirit of toleration. Lord TULLA MORE then rose, and moved to sit jaunt the debate until to morrow (ibis day>. Several Members exclaimed " Go on! Go on !" but the motion was pat by the Somers and curled. The debate was accordingly adjournede—The House then adjourned at HAI:T:PAIT Twftvis. THE EVENING STAR. LO' DON. FRIDAY, MARCH 6. 18‘,9 PRICE OF STOCKS AT TWO O'CLOCK.

A revolution is proposed to be effected, more extensive and more fatal in its future conse. (Fences is the liberties and rights of the notion, itan, any which has been Koitnced in this country since the reign of }lawny the Eighth ; turd if it be broug.t about, all security of property,. and of those Civil end Religi 411 Liberties which we have so largely possesied, is hat irdest, if not immediately lost. But there are hill hopes of avertine this national calamity. Theie• are those, 'who are bound by oaths and guided by principle, to uphold and preserve' ineolate a Protestant con st tution, who will triumph over this attempt to restore the reign of ANTICURI+T, and will reestablish • onr Government on the firm basis of Protestant AsceMianey. • The measures proposed by Mr.'Peat. are those of unconditional Emancipation. The removal of every civil disability arising from religious principles is to be the foundation of the proposed Bill, and col sequently the two Houses of Parliament, the highest , offices in State Government (excepting those or Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and Lord Chancellor), the Jodi.' cial Bench, and every other appointment, Civil, Legal. Military, or Naval, are to be thrown open to Catholics, without. qualification oe only sort, except that they . are' not to exercise Churckpatronage. No seeorky is to be required but an OR', a 411e g-iance of amended form, and even the aunt a rgged veto on the appointment of Catholic Bishops is not to be required.
