PARLI.4M.ENIARr PROCEEDINGS. DIII3LIN. MARCH O. . . HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH 10. was therefore in &your of continuing the distillation. It ices the illicit distillation that con►umed the vond corn. and in greet quabtities, and not the regular distilleries. . This day the Aggregate Meeting was held in Cla rendon -street Chapel, and was numerously and re spectably attended. The Chair was taken by *h. THoNfAs &MONDE, ti arr. The following Resolutions were proposed by ED WARD TAYLOR, E , q. and seconded by Mr. NICHOLAS MAHON ; they were 4;1 carried by acclamation . In the Scotch cause, Pitcairn. and Doig v. Saneerer, and others, Counsel were beard In cositinustion, and t:t jit.lg. mem pstpuned. Mitchell, . . Mr . . MAtilt ICE iTItGEkALI) reminded the House that he had brought forward the same quest 1 tion some true a o, wen the gallant General op. . posed the Measure, though he (Mr. Vitig,erald) only proposed that the distillation lie stopped in Ireland. yit now the gallant General's constituents had in- I duced him to presvnt a Petition, prayi ng f or the stop.;.. 1 04 Ad of distillation all over the empire.. as the only means of preventing the people of Ireland won starving. The H 'pourable Gentleman made some . 'Titlarks on the (pinion delivered by the gallant General on a preceding evening, respecti.ig the istsopla of Bellast, who had signed the Petition for Refwm, and whom he now characterised as most tespectabl!. . If the present prices of corn were meant to be orgel as a reason 'stopping distillation, his inferencet were erroneous, he had drawn them fr , rn the ma ritime quarters of !salami, between which and the in land parts there was a difference of 103 a quarter. ' But he agreed in the necessity of complying with the prayer of the Petitioa.. and remained perfectly con vinced that the price of provisions in Irloid rent dered it indispensably necessary to stop distillation from all sorts of grain. General MITCHELL explained. He had said, that the Petition presented the other' night t'.id oat speak the sentiments of the loyal and upright inhabit tants of that town; but contained the signatures only of those who were deluded. In that of General Fraser Macilorall of Glmary, were aho heard out, and their Lorttabip,' judgment in like 111111. rer postponed. . . Some additiaral evidence, with refer,nce to Bailey'. Dianeze 81'I, was heard at the liar ; it principally was a lanced in. the way of corroborative proof, as to the alleged fact of Mts. Balley'a a lidtery. Part of this was the production of a Parish Haptisnea! it.gister, Ie which the child of which Mrs. Bailey had hewn deli vered during the ahrence ot her hmlintl, was baptized as the child of Ed min Kelly (the paramour) and of Henrietta tAtti.la, spinster. In the tosult, their Lordsh , p , ordered the evidence to he printed, and the whole taken into crmsiderAlon, toce!her with the Bill to wivela it referred, on Wednesday next. The King's Bench Bail Bill was mot a third time 411 d passed. The ecnrridera•riiti of the IttgreiCii Protection Bill, 011 the quer don edits third readhig, was postponed till ttarnorrow. Two private, or local WIN were brought up from the Com mons by Mr. CA Lvr In' and others, and read a first time. . 'l . he Coffee Duty, Carnatic Commie-Ion: rti, Barrack t) span. mein, and Passengers Regulation Bills, were read a second tame and committed for to-morrow. " Resolved. That Edward Hay, Esq. be particularly requested to continue his invaluable services as Secrete' y to the Catholics ot Ireland. " Revolv ti, That we duly appreciate the value of unanimity amongst the Catholics, and approve of the measures lately re sat tetl to, in orl.l. to isns,lmle that desirable mutt. But we can not reeopi , , sly tar such unanimity, save such as shall mitt& any qtecii sof Vetolittical Arrangement whatever. " Resolved, that the people of Ireland in former times sus tained the less not only ol Civil liberty, but of their properties, and many of them their Eyes, ra-her than relinquish the faith and discipline of the ancient Catholic Church of Ireland; and that we, their descendants, are ego:illy attached to that faith and disciplioe,and equally determined to adhere thereto, notwithatand- Ing any temporal disadvantages, pensities, pains, or privations. " Resolved, That the Catholic Prelates of Ireland sssembhd, in solemn synod, did unanimously enter into the following Reno. onion That tt is our decided and oonselentinuf conviction, that any power granted to the Crown of Great Britain, of inter fering, directly or indirectly, in the appointment of Bishops for the Roman Catholic Church In Ireland, must essentially injure, and may eventually subvert, the Roman Catholic Religion in this country. " Resolved, That we should not receive as a boon any portion of Civil Liberty, accompanied by that which the Catholic Pre lates and People of Ireland have condemned as essentially inju rious, and probably destructive to oar Religion; and we do so lemnly declare, that we infilitely prefer our prevent situation in the State, to any emancipation which may be, directly or indi rectly, coupled with the Veto. " Resolved, That the concurrence of all classes of Catholies, in the measure of domestic nomination, ought to prevail unani mously amongst ourselves, and to obviate the alarms, however unfounded, of the enemies of our Emancipation. " Resolved, That the foregoing Resolutions be communicated by nor Chairman to the Earl of Donoughmore, to Sir Henry Parnell, Bart. and the Right Hon. Henry Grattan; and that we do most earnestly solicit them, individually, to oppose any measure in Parliament, inconsistent with these our unalterable sentiments.- 7 Resolved, That these Resolutions be respectfully communicated to all our friends In both Houses of Parliament." the and .110. use N.tPOLE9N 13 1 1§/APAtms. Lord HOLLAND observed, that the Nohk Se cretary of State for the Colonial Department was not present, yet as lie perceived a Noble Lord very high in his Majesty's Government in his place, he should take the opportunity of informing the House, that it WAS his intention on an early day, but not upon one of those days upon which the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack would be long previously de tained by the judicial business of the House ; there fore, it should be either on Thursday or Tuesday next, to bring forward a motion for the production of papers relative to the instructions given by his Ma jesty's Government to the Governor of St. Helena, with respect to the person of Napoleon Bonaparte ; and also for extracts from, or copies of correspon dence between the said Napoleon Bonaparte and the Government, relative to his personal treatment, and the expenses incurred for his subsistence and deten tion in that island: He could not now regularly state the Parliamentary grounds which he should lay be fore the House for those productions, but in order to guard against that which was the subject of so much observation, he begged leave to state, that what ever may be his opinions on the subject of that deten. tioh, which were known and recorded upon the Jour nals, respecting the policy or the justice of that most extraordinary and unusual proc.:dore, he did not in !tend, in what 'he should soon Lring for ward, to refer to any of those questions. What he intended to pro pose would be entirely founded upon other pi i(,ciples and grounds, which, if he should be able to show that they were proper and just, it would follow as almost a corrollary, that it was right the rumours now afloat should, if false, be contradicted, and set at rest by Parliament, and by authority ; or, if true, be avowed and vindicated by thenls He had, perhaps, to apo logize for some irregularity in saying thus much ; but he trusted their Lordships, generally, would sympathize with him, in what he had referred to.— cite out hat .at Mr. MAR RYATT spoke strongly on the neces sity of stopping distillation, which consumed annually three mill ohs of pounds weight of bread-corn, that was now, when bread was neatly Is. 6d. a loaf, in dispensably necessary for the preservation of life. He particularly Adverted to the cLaracter of those who had signed the Petition, who were not misgu:ded mem•but persons who were intelligent, possessed pro perty, and were well affected to the Governmcnt. This Petition stated, that illicit distillation had al ready received a cheek from the high price of grain, and he believed 1.; for it had been proved in evi dence that the common people had assembled %heft corn was dear, and di stroyed the illicit stills. lie denied that dania?ed ;;ran fit for the distille rs , at least if it was so far &magi. as to be to fit for the food of men, and comende.! th,a tin House was bound to interfere in behalf of he suffering people, by stopping eistiilatioa. A million and a half of quarters of ,Itain of different sorts night be distilled during the scarcity, unless Ministers interfered. might also look forward to a deficient harvest in the present year, from the comparatively quanti ties of corn which the farmers has been enaidzil to sow, owing to their distressed circumstances ; and as to the quantity imported, it had only consisted, since the ports were opened, ct 91000 quarters of wheat, and with other sorts of grain, making a total of only '210,000, while the distilleries had consumed 89.1,0(X) quarters. If it should be found, ar c the lob ebitants of Ret.tlau declared— that_ fanaisseAnd contagions di.. eases will be the consequences of continuing the dis tillation, what a heavy responsibility would attach to Mioisters ! Ile therefere hoped that they would gave the subject the most serious consideration. M r . KNOX was of a similar opinion. I - It had even heard that the people of .many parts of II• land had been already obliged to consume their store po tatoes, and even their spring seed corn. He agreed in the jealousy with which the people vie - s e e d . 1 1;,., ;. stills. Tumults had al.eady taken pl ice •it the ion ' kets of Ireland, where the corn had been seia:cd and rtld by t!)e people :it t'ivir oln prices. In short, tie misery of famine slid pestilence plight be said to have already commenced. ger ',J. of )po SI. Mr. MAHON stated a circumstance which created very great Sensation ; he said he was 'authorised to inform the Meeting, that some children of the Roman Catholic perivasion were, ,in consequence of the gene ral distress, forced to seek* an asylum in the House et industry; and that come benevolent Roman Ca tholic Ladies of distinction, who had ►aken these children under their own instruction, and who were endeavouring to inculcate upon their minds the te nets of their. zeligion, applied for admission, in order to continue their good works towards them, but were peremptorily refused; and, upon making. a second application, which was alto rstused, and demanding the cause of it, were informed positive directions to that effect had been issued by the Governors. Dq in its Mr. O'CoNmat.t. said Mr. Mahon would have been extremely cUlp4ble had he not mentioned the circum stance, having, as he declared, authority for the tact. Mr. O'Connell dwelt upon the subject for some time, I which passed in tike manner as the former ones : "..That the fact stated teepee:l i ng the Poor-honse be ascertained, and then that the Bad Donoughnsore be requested to bring that nutter before the House of Lords, and chat weans be taken to bring the attendoo of the House of Consmens to the same. " Tint the future Nonagons:a of their Petition, and the sub- Jett the last foregoing Resolution, Le referred to the Membess id the Catholic Board, Aisociadon and Committee." At a preliminary Meeting of the Committee, held on the sth, letters were read from Mr. GRATTAN and Sit H. PARNELL, in which both recommend an ae• quiescence in granting the Ws.) to the Crown. Mr. GRATTAN declines to be the advocate 4 , of any opi nion which shall import his concurrence in the idea, that perpetual exclusion from the Constitution is pre ferable to civil liberty with the Veto." Sir H. PAR MILL merely urges the adoption of such measures, by the Catholic leaders, as will tend to convince Parlia ment that there are no dissentions among the Catholic Body; on , the subject of the degree of emancipation they require: Sir N. COULTHURST did not agree with his Honourable Fiirt.d cpposite, that it would have been wise to prevent distillation throughtut the last .year, :is attire was a quantity or damaged coin is the hand s of the farmers, nhit:ll they could not turn to any other purpose. certaaily had no objection to din Petition, and if the report of famine which it con tained was well natuded, it would be must Pruper for Government to int , :acre. The Petition was ordered to lie on the table. A message from the Lords aim-twice& that their Lordship; had agreed to the King's Bench Bail Bill, without any amendments. s----__ E.I.ST INEIES. 130MBAY, iihPTEMBEIt 14, 1816.
