MACliblUSti Chtiais of tits t.:4- Ilialitia4 S 3 Mr. PEEL opposed the mea.nie, which he contended could not be adopted with( tit danger to the established church. Mr. CANNING rove, awl said, that it was impossible to look to the laws as they at present stood without seeing that they contained the seeds of inevitable progression or of inevitable struggle to make them more effectual,— The argument asknow taken as if their had been nothing else but a spiritual connexion with a fot vigil power; but it was not so; it bad always been made pound of charge ag.tiust the Homan Catholic that he had also enteriained a political predelietion for a foreign poteutate. It was necessary to fix upon smile teat that would discover the Papist who was ready to restore the exiled family to the throne. It was devised to detect him by the oath nitres'. substantiation. Was his creed his guilt 1 No. Hut his creed designated the man, and his guilt consisted in his foreign attachment. Wo u ld any inaii pretend to assert that that attachment existed at pi use=d 1 Ni; it wait gone; because the object of his attachment was Fro more. But lie who maintained the doctrine of transubstantiation was still to be made the subject of penal laws! The right hon. gent. then pro' eeded to state, that the reformation, notwithstanding all the blessings it hail bestowed neon the country, had been tainted by malty acts of injustice and inutile' persecution. It had been asserted that it was impossible fur a Homan Catholic to enter into full enjoy• moist apolitical rights without feeling it to be his duty to overturn the ecclesiastical F atablistiments ol the country. To give the Catholic the elective franchise at the souse tune that you denied him every thing else; to make him an elector at the same time that you rendered bile inca pable of being elected, was not the way to bind Ireland to the rest of the empire in ties of affection. But some gems. %vete afraid that when thia was clime, those permute who had s'ood by the consthrilion while they enjoyed its benefits partially, would rise up against it if they were admitted to the lull participation of it. This was nut likely. At present the constitution was to them negative and repalsive. Then it would be positive and full of ad. vantage. The right lion, gent. limn said that government had frequently promised to tilled the I' ay..rs of the Roman Catholics, but insist of doing so, hail as often heated them with scot II and insult. Irideed he thoaglit that the Catholics might address government iii putty much the same language as a certain lover had add:csaed lam milt t rcas— When late I attempted your pity to move, Why did you reject my foul prayers?

This 'mist be a first and Inuilaniental principle both of all that was yielded and all lii t was retained. %V isms he snade diese observations, it was chiefly for the purpose of aceuithting for those provisioits of the bill which went still to exclude Homan lathelies from the Univeisitit s, and from the spi ritual courts.

FLORENCE, Fey. 23.—Thc Austrian army is now for the most part past. It cannot in the field consist of 40,000 combatants, and, with the excep tion of about 6,000, the infUntry is contemptible. The :lain of followers is so great, that it resembles more an Indian than an EUI OpCall army. T he en thusiasm of the army is extreme. The people are united to a wan, and all well armed. Indeed an Italian population is truly formidable. Every per son has the right to shoot, and scarcely one is with out a gun, and he well knows the use of it. The Austrian army is thoroughly and openly dispirited A German courier of mine mixed in all their ranks, and ilium' the four of the enemy, and of his means of defence, to possess them all. Four towns have been, by a brief of the Pope, declared to he in the possession of the Carbonari, and all who join them arc excommunicated. Thus you see, in the filee of their advancing columns, tins spirit rises against the Austrians. Depend upon it Italy is completely re volutionized, nor do I believe that the Austrians can save themselves. It is a fine moment to inhabit here ; to sec this long oppressed countr•; once inure rising to assume her rank amongst the tuitions, is truly animating, Rost , . Ft,:e 21.—0 n the evening of the 15th, an Austrian advance-guard, of bout 1,500 men, entered Funao, on the Adriatic Sea; a column of the army followed the next day.
