He had cautioned the petitioner that in mak lir a charge against any Member he was bound to i n ae good his charge, or he must prepare to suffer t b er osshrnent which awaited a breach of privilege. l e speed that the Petition be brought up; and upon t wi t motion, for lay ing it upon the table, there sa ki he opportunity enough fur discussing the ctallats of it. Mr. WYNN did not see what course the House co uld take, as it was impossible for the House to en miss the inquiry. On the. part of Government there was no wish to screen any offences of that kind, and the legal Tribunals were open to the Petitioner for redress. At the present period of the Session there would be much injustice in letting the Petition lie on the table. Mr. BROUGHAM thought the . House of Com mons should not be too cautious in shutting their doors to complaints against their oon Members. The ease was not without a precedent, and that of Lord Melville WAS in point. There was also the case iu the time of Queen Anne, in 1710, of a Mr. T. Fridge, who having received the price of 8000 tuns of beer bad only furnished 5000. This man had been ex pelled the Mouse, and afterwards prosecuted crimi nally. He did not see why the Petition should not be broagbr up and a day set apart fir its considera tion. The Right Hon. Gentleman might then state what course he deemed it advisable to pursue. es 30 -30 Kr. WYNN explained. Mr. U. FITZGERALD gamed the statement that bad appeared relative to the information communi cated to Mr. Brougham on the subject of the peti tioner. He had stated to his Learned Friend what he hew of the subject. The Honourable Member here read the letter he had sent to Mr. Brougham, which concluded with expressing a wish that no use should be made of his name, and that no corroboration should be given by his name of the charges made egoist his colleague. While he did his duty to his sestituent, the petitioner, he was anxious to take no part in the discussion. Had he intended to make any t:s4 he would not have done it in an indirect When he - heard of the intention of the pe *Suer, he abstained from all correspondence with Lis, and had not answered his letter. No individual pith the exception of his Honourable Colleague) said feel more pain than himself , at the charges that had been brought. Mr. BROUGHAM said he could confirm all that' lid been stated by his Right Honourable Friend I at the same ti:t.e, he had not been aware that his Right Honourable Friend wished no allusion to be made co las letter. It was the duty of the House to guard the lanky of the distribution of patronage. Colonel CROSBIE was now fully sensible that his Honourable Colleague had no hand in the charges that had been brought against him. Mr. M. FITZGERALD explained. Mr. PEEL: had been desirous to givelhe petitioner every opportunity of exculpating himself. The Petition was then brought up and read. Oa the motion that the Fetid - on lie on the table, the Rouse divided, when there appeared—For the &solution 26 ; Against it, 51. RELIGIOC3 tOLEBATINt. Mr. HUME presented a Petition, si g hed by up vordsof9ooo persons, of whom 98 were Ministers, and Of these two were of the Church of England. Before IN stated the subject of the Petition, he thought pro. pa to correct an assertion he had made last night on the discussion of the English Catholics Bill, and which conveyed an opinion unfavourable to the Dissenters generally. He had no such intention ; and the Pe tition he now presented was a proof that he had him self no, such unfavourable opinion. The Petitioners sated their belief in Christianity, and their conviction that persecutions against the dissemination of Ants- Cluistian principles were against its spirit, and meted as incentives to infidelity. He thought himself that-Carlile bad taken a wrong course for his own purpose ; but, on the other hand, he thought the course pursued against him was most injurious. The language of the present Petition, which spoke in dis approbation of that course, was as sensible and as Christian-like as any he had ever read; and parti cularly noticed the futility of prosecutions of a nature like those which had been carried on against Car 111e.- He should, the re f ore , a f t e r bringing. up this Pe-. *taps, submit a motion to the House, in substance containing the sentiments of the Petitioners in the. for, of a Resolution. He had been advised by manr of his friends not to persevere in this course; but he had determined to do so, from a conviction that he eas tight.—The Petition was brought up and teed. Mr. W. SMITH said, the Petition had been signed by persons of the most opposite opinions. Mr. HUME proceeded, and observed, that every one had a right to express his opinions so hang as they rtei e not injurious to soc ie t y. He was satisfied much thiscluef had arisen from the prosecutions that had taken place. By freedom of discussion the Reforms bpi of the Church had been effected,. and it was h3ghly impolitic to retrace our steps. The Jews had received peat toleration, and so had the Quakers, ugh differing so widely from other sects of Chris !lra- He wished that toleration to be universal ligreeably to the precepts and the practice of'the AV. 74 ° 1 1 of Christianity. After Christianity had stood against the attacks of the most able and acute men, *Nu had she to fear from the attempts of a few low Ind illiterate individuals? That had been the opt -11100 of the . most able and enlightened advocates of Christianity.

The }ton. Member concluded by moving a Resolution that free discussion had been attended with more benefit than injury to the community, and that it was *just and inexpe dient to punish men for their religious opinions. Mr. WILBERFORCE concurred in much of what had fallen from the Hon. Gentleman, at the same time, men were nut to be scoffed out of their opinions by gross and vulgar abuse. The Hon. Member here cited a passage from Dr. Paley, that the exercise of ridicule and abuse, and whatever spoke to the pas sions was no part of religious toleration, which re ferred to argument and calm discussion. Christia nity had never insulted the existing religion with ri baldry and abuse, but inculcated respect to the powers that be. He concurred in the propositioil of the Hon. Gentleman, though he did not see the ne cessity of its being affirmed by Parliament. Ilk the prosecution of such offences as those alluded to; the conduct of Government was more liable to miscee struction than that of individuals, and the Society for the Suppression of Vice had been warmly eulogized by the most eminent lawyers in England. Mr. RICARDO thought that one part of the speech of the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Wilberforce) cob; I tradicted the other. The law of England was not ad-, ministered in the way that had been recommended by the Hon. Gentleman. The expression of a utah'i religious opinions was no offence whatever. He had a man in his eye who did not believe in a future state —he meant Mr. Owen, who had done and was doing much good'. Was that man to be visited by punish ment? The Hon. Member (Mr.W.) was more afraid of ribaldly than sound argument; which seemed to him to be the same as to dread the less powerful weapon, while he contemned the stronger. If our own opinion was to be the sole test of truth, we ought to establish the Protestant religion in India— (Hear, hear). He would make one observation be fore be sat down ; be hoped and trusted, that he had steered clear of expressing any opinion, from which,by any interpretation whatever, it would be supposed that because he defended the liberty of religious doctrines, be himself entertained any obnoxious opinion, and he begged that none such ' might be fixed upon him— (Hear, hear). • Mr. HORACE TWISS had heard many quota tions in the course of the evening, and he would add one other authority, which at least would have the merit of being applicable to the question under dis cussion. He spoke of the Address voted by the House of Commons in 1697, which prayed, among other things, that the Judges and Magistrates might be commanded by Proclamation to prosecute all works of a licentious and immoral tendency, and to suppress all books and pamphlets which militated against religion, and that the authors should be pu nished. To this Address King William was advised to make the following Answer:—"" I shall give im mediate directions in the several particulars required, but I wish more effectdal provisions to be Made for the suppression of obnoxious, books and pamphlets." —The Honourable Gentleman thought this autho rity ought to be tolerably satisfactory. He made a wide distinction between religious and politi cal opinions. He admitted the evil arising from the prosecution ; but making this admission, was the offender, for that reason, to escape altogether? Some of the Gentlemen who advocated the present motion, who had talked so loudly about religious liberty on a recent debate, when the object was to make certain concessions to the Catholics, bad purposely quitted their seats, and left the House and the Bill to its fate, when by their presence they might have sated it from a defeat—(Hear, hear.) For his own part, he boasted of the laws under which he lived (ffient,fralathe Op• petition), and with that feeling he felt himself bound to vote against a motion which ran directly counter to them—(hear.) Mr. W. SMITH, after giving the subject his most serious consideration, had been most reluctantly obliged to come to the decision, that religious die cession, in all shapes, ought to be tolerated. He con sidered that full-toleration must exist in every coon try where civil liberty had existence. Without reli gious liberty, civil liberty could not be perfect. With respect to the'Petition now on the table, be had never seen it till to-day ; but he had seen the printed paper which accompanied it, and considered it a very ably written paper, which would not fail to make its way in the world, and to make converts to the doctrine, which it contained ; and he could not but believe that a man suffering imprisonment for using such lan guage as this paper contained, would have more effect in spreading his principles, than althis writings word& Mr. T. WILSON observed, it bad been said by an Hon. Member, who supported this motion, that he believed his sentiments were in unison with those of a majority of the Home. He trusted the Hon. Mem ber was mistaken, and that the vote of to-night would convince him he was so. As to the publications in question, he was ready to acknowledge they would do no harm in thehands of such persons as the Mem ber for Norwich, or the Member for Aberdeen. But the fact was, that they got into the bands of the lower orders, and then were prode.ctive of the most Mis chievous effects; and, persuaded of this, he would al ways oppose such a motion as this, as well as the ar guments by which it was supported. Mr. MONEY also opposed the motion of the *Moo bee for Aberdeen, and defended Mr. Owen from the hle thrown out against him, who was a strict l y r c elig ri tous and moral man. Mr. RICARDO said he had intended no offence to Mr. Owen, and would be most reluctant to say any thing which would do him injustice : but he did ago derstand that Mt. Owen did consider men as not fuel agents, 'and, therefore not liable to future reward pr punishment for acts over which they had net comma 1. Mr. PEEL wished to be understood as dissentin g entirely from the Hon. Member for Aherdeets, bdtb ip his motion and his arguments. First, as to the form of proceeding, there was a law whiCh subjected to punishment persons holding raisin doctrine.-- Now, what did the Hon. Member do I Did he/pro pose to repeal that law?

ADDWISSEP EY THE SPANISH SECRETARY OF STATE PON FO WON AFFAIRS TO THE DIPLOMATIC AGENTS OS HIS CATHOLIC MAJESTY AT FOREIGN COURTS. " The uniformly hostile and perfidious conduct of the Cabinet of the Tuilleries, with respect to Spain, since the reestablishment of her Constitutional Go- vernment, is notorious to all the world. The clumsy veil with which that Cabinet for some time covered its numerous perfidies, was at length, to the shame of morality and public honour, openly torn by the French Ministers, in the midst of a legiatitive as sembly ; and indignant posterity will learn, even from the confession of the criminals themselves, that the Government of a Monarch who is called the Most Christian, cast upon a pacific nation, a neighbour, is friend, and an ally, the brands of civil discoid; created internal factions ; and gave protection to as sassins and traitors, in violation of the faith of treaties. " That Cabinet has perveited the most legitimate and spotless political revolution which the annals of nations exhibit, from its origioally tranquil course, by hiring base writers to bring virtue into discredit; to sow distrust, and to foment anarchy. " It has calumniated the cause of liberty, by ad ducing against that coo& those very elegises and convolsions which its-own intrigues and corrupting. gold have excited. " To make a pretence for an impious war, and the most atrocious invasion ever witnessed by mankind, it undermined the basis of universal justice and the laws of nations, by setting up the iniquitous principle of interference by one power in the domestic coanqcrna lof another—a principle destructive of all independ ence, all repose, and all stability in political societies. " But all these aggressions were not suilkient for the Cabinet of the Tun/airs. To satisfy the frantic faction of which it is the instrument, it was necessary ) to crown all by one of those revolting acts, which, to the opprobrium of civilisation and the disgrace of the nations which tolerate therm; are from tinier to time recorded in the blood-stained pages of history. It was necesssary that a Government, which ostenta tiously proclaims the dogma of the legitimacy of dy nasties, and the sacredness of monarchical Wirer, • the only security for the tranquillity and happiness of nations, should give to the world the no less wicked than dangerous example of creating, recognizing, and protecting a club of trait Ors totheit King and country, who have dared to assume the title of 4 Provisional Junta for the Government of Spain and the Indies: =—lt was necessary that a Government affecting to combat in the name of religion, morality, and the conservative principles of society, should . suborn per jury; collude with seditiOn,lear asunder the bonds of subordination and public order, withdraw from au thority the respect which renders it beneficial, under mine the foundations of the throne while pretending to secure it, and raise unworthy suspicions of the good faith of the august Monarch who occupies it, and is maintained in it by the loyalty of his subjects. It vies necessary that the army of a Power which ar rogates to itself the being the most advanced in civi lisation, should aggravate the cruel practice of war, in a manner hitherto unheard of, and which increases a thousand-fold its fatal and desolating effects, by sending forward as their precursors bands of deluded and wicked men; taking for their auxiliaries, false hood, treason, and fanaticism ; and purposely in#Ani ing the fury of the banditti, in order that the French troops may be welcomed in the harassed towns as deliverers. . " Europe, the witness of these horrbrs, is silent and assenting. The weak Poweri are overawed. and those • called great either favour the views of the POIAO Cat binet, because they approve its pernicious doctrines, or rely on the greatness of their own strepgth for keeping them out of the reach of dinger. Btif powei is not eternal; and the nation which at one time dic tates laws to others, is at another the object of their contempt. Perhaps some who now condemn in thebry the unjust maxims of public law which are pretended to be introduced, but who abstain from opposing their dangerous application, will hereafter deafly re pent so serious an error. The successful repetition of such acts of superior force will give them a sanction ender the name of justice ; the feeble barriers which have hitherto protected the independence of State** and defended the balance of power, will be broken down ; all just notions of public morality will be obli terated, and the light of civilization will be extin -1 guished by the breath of barbarism. os The Spanish Government, placed at the head of a generous nation, though distracted by foreign its trigue—in defending not only its own cause, but the caus e of all mankind will either triumph over its perfidious enemies, or fall with glory and with ho nour. This Government would, however, be wanting io the fulfilment of its most sacted duties. if on so im permit an occasion it did not speak with firmness and courage.

Ever since their first arrival in Spain there existed much dissention amongst themselves ; and it was also well known that they did not mean to meet the common enemy, but merely tight against the factious; until the French were either driven out of Spain, or they, by some lucky chance, could regain France,with the power of creating a counter-revolution. ,—ln the meantime; they wished to be. under the command of Genera Lallemand, placed in their se..
