Extract of a letter dated Cape Hayti (St. Do mingo), Feb. 28.—" We have lived in great cgita ion here fur several days; a conspiracy of which the ci-devant•Duke de Mat-include, at present the Governor and Commandant of De Place, and Gen. Richard, a sanguinary negro, were the principal contrivers, was accidentally discovered on the eve of its being carried into effect. The objects were the overthrow of the government, the plunder and mur. der of all the whites and mulattoes. The ring leaders had the good fortune to escape front the fury of the exasperated populace, but were sent in chains to Port-au. Prince to undergo their exclamation.— The troops had been worked up in a state of frenzy, and only by the great and indefittigable exertions of General Manny could be restrained from plun dering: some excesses have, however, been com mitted, especially in the adjacent country, where robbery and murder is still going on. • We find by a letter from Leghorn of the 3d, that a most respectable English merchant, a nephew of Sir R. Peel, has been ordered to quit that city and state at twelve hours' notice, for presuming to doubt the truth of an Austrian bulletin! Such conduct is better calculated fi,r the meridian of Tunis or Al giers than that of Tuscany, which has long been considered as one of the mildest of the arbitrary sort in Europe. The expulsion of this gentleman fur the crime of " incredulity" has roduccd a deep sensation, and crtattd a eons:derable alarm among the English res:dents at Leghorn, more especially as the arbitrary mandale had i.:en ueeeded by no notice, called tbr ho explanation, and admitted of no remonstrance, or expostulation—off he was obliged to go, probably to the ruin of his business sod for tune. The British factory, and the general body of British residents, have seen the magnitude of the inconvenience, and the extent of the danger which this treatment of Mr. Peel warrants than to appre hend, and have taken up the matter according:y. Accounts from Hanover assert, that Lord Ci:stle reagh has announced officially to Count Munster, that his Majesty would visit Hanover in August.— We much doubt the Act, or at least if such is in the contemplation of his Majesty, it will be preceded by same legislative measure iu . . V , \ 1 • 9 THE NATIONAL REGISTER Oniverial Varliament. ..•■••••.• HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY. APRIL In. Petitions against the Roman Catholic bill were pre sented from the cleft of Eath—ltristill—Norfoil.— Wothistoek—and the Gostiati Catholics of Limerick. Eat! GREY presented Iwo petitions from the Houten Catholics of Englatill—one declaritig that his Majesty's right to the throne was indisputable, and that they never would it. mit the interposition of any foe eign influence to shake their loyalty and attachment. 'The second petition was from Lords :slier wsbut y, Petre, Arundel, and other Roman Catholic pros. Both wet e in f.t.:ostr of the The petitivon met e read, and laiJ on the table. The LAI! of DON OUGH MORE then ro. e, on the order of the day for the second 'lading of the bill, and cons invoiced his speech by observing, that the Pommel Catholics of Ireland had suffered under serene intolerance up to 1;93. when they were admitted by the legislature to the tight of elective franchise, and promotion in the army and navy. Concessions had bee n previously spoken of, but iii fact no concessions were made. In tile present instance a bill of mei cy and grace had come np from the other house. It, however, uo sooner passed tile threshold of the Arose, than the noble lord on the woolsack, and the noble lord at the head of the treasuryoletiounced it. He trusted he shouts hear, in the (muse of the debate, the pi hiciples on which those 'wide lords had taken as, lie considered, 'an et roneons view of the subject. Would the lords not condescend to give elite consideration to a hill which in the oilier house of pat Lament had confetti; onglt the of deal of live weeks debate? Alter the deliberate 'ewe of the other house, taken upon the measure.. what could the - house do but give a bill °ranch vital int e micastee, at least that discussion the ebbject was mottled to? He .as the mute surprised at the opposition of the two noble lords, because it was nut usual to express 011110Siliali to Ille prin ciple of a hill befine the second reading. Upon the authority of the other house of parliament, lie asked the lords to discuss this subject. Four millions of Irish Ca.. 'holies, containing in that n iiiii ber the attest respectable names, requested to be heard. sad not sent away trout parliament. Under the sanction of oaths, his Majesty's Homan Catholic subjects had abjured disloyalty. They had nut done so by one oath, bitt a all( ceission of oaths. They had takeu oaths, and proved themselves mist worthy. When the act of 179.1 passed, it had the fall approbation of his Majesty's ministeis. They considered the Catholics trust-worthy. They had been in possession of the elective franchise 28 years. That act said in plain terms, " We will try you, and hereafter open to you the doors of the constitution." Ile did not speak disrespect. fed of the constitution as A Protestant constitution. It was the object of Isis eructation, but he wished ail the members eat it to leave participation in all its ptivilegee. The doors should be opened to the Catholics to enjoy moat rights, and at the time the aIIIIIiNSIOII was allowed, the Cutlielic should not be instilled we tfie subject of his religion. The noble earl read a document proving the alteration the Pope bad made in the oath to be taken by the Roman Catholic bishops. Weeds wet e lent out for the purpose of inserting °filers, %Melt state that nothing iu the said oath is to slake the fidelity such bishop owed to the king and germ' iiiii mit under wbielt he is placed.— There never was a MN in pas lianient discussed with more moderation and temperance 'han this bill liael been in the Commons. The bill, hi fact, gave ne.hing—it only restored those constitutional rights of which the Catholics had been deprived, but which no man could soy ought to be now withheld. 'lde Protestant establislimeut was undoubtedly entitled to support; but the bill, if it passed, would slut present the king holding those safeguards which the constitution required. A Protestant king would never peter R au Catholic comi•ellors. Conecivhig the Ro man Catholics were trust-wen-illy, he could not consider the second part of the bill iii•cessary. lie could not con sider the Catholics suspicious. They had heel, in posses sion edited eh efts', tranchise 28 years, 4011 the good use they had made of it was secusity for future good conduct. He visited 'bereft:he the second, of re-whist e part of the bill, expunged. They winded no fresh securities. They were told they had a diseffected bsdy of elm gylllell—lie knew that the revere of that character be longed to the Catholic clergy. He had too much respect foi those who introthiced the secutitics, not to think they lead a good opietun of the Roman clergy. They mast have supposed those secutities were not wanted, hut tire' OW II 0111 as a tub to the whale. It was too much to expose a respectable body of the clergy to the odium and cl of the mul titude.—The noble e ail then observed that it would, per haps, hate been more reasunable to reserve his chojections to the restrictions till the bill came bet ore II committee, but as he it'd not bear from the noble lot ds ti at they noun; permit tae bill to go to a e immiitre, he could too ithhoid his opinion suspecting tile alteration. The first clause imposed the penalty of an male. lie did not like the imposition of an oath.

He pledged I self, how esi s, to 1101Itit.g of that salt. He considered the secterthes leftists Cil call 011 any body of men to give them. The want of the veto required by the bill could never, in his opinion, pro dace the least danger.

With respect to Iltose tialricUoua,hisc.peiiutee led him to believe that Uis Itutuiul Catholics ut Irclaud w)uld uercr be witiatittl ~+ w I • . wills restrictions; they required unlimited access to all public offici s. In case they obtained that liberty, they world next require the restoration of their clergy, and pci ii ins the estates of the church which had been seised. Per-ons could have tint little foresi4lit or knowledge of mankind, if they doubted the real feeling of the parties.

The home could could not dew ive the bill of its Aati.C.atholic character without de toying its eery essence. The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM supported the elabus of the t :utholics. The Bishop of CHESTER opposed the bill. 'rite Itishoil of NORWICH considered at inconsistent with the self-denial and sec/mien from lie world which the Christian ieligiou required in a bishop to come for ward 011 any question of party politics. He had been accused of ainuitiously position; himself forward on this question ; but he felt lie had only discharged his duty as a conscientious member of the church. Humanly speaking, lie might never have another opportsinity of addressing their lin dships. He asked, then, what church it was that was to be *imported by disabilities and penalties? None could venture to say that it was that church of which the tile Law-giver and Head hau declared that his kingdom " Nll4 not of this world." (Loud cheers.) Christianity prohibited every harsh, severe, and uncharitable oplitiou. 110 other passage of due New Testament enforced this liberality, it svould be sat:tricot to the terms in which the divine founder of chi istianity reprimanded his disciples, ill) had falsely imagined that Weir religion was to he supported by judicial interposition even from heaven, when lie told them that they did not kiwi , what matter of religion they were of (Hear, hear.) If any thought their church could not be maintained without disabilities and penalties on millions of men, they had reason to fear either their church was bad, or they were in es rur as to the means i.s *, iipi.orting it. None was mare anxious than lie for the support of the chinch of England; lie would venture his life for the truth of its doctrines and the wis dom of its discipline. But the most Christian means of upholding it he conceived to be, not disabilities and pe ualtirs, but tear 1111 l g and exemplary conduct on the part of the clergy (hear, hear, heal), kiudness, candour, mu iteration, and fus bearaucc, on the part of all its members. (Great cheering.) Luril REDESDALE opposed the bill. No security whatever was held oat for the established religion in this 1 hill. The Earl of HARROWBY supported the bill at cense. derible length, altar whirl, The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that whatever might be the ultimate deribion of their lordships upon the gees ion, it war wf the inmost importance that it should appear to have lergone the fullest investigation. He should be sully that aay noble lord should be prevented, by want of opportunity, from expreping leis sentiments,and therefore moved tisat the Louse should adjourn till tomorrow. Adjourned at half past 12 o'clock. TUEsDII V, •PAIL 17. . . . A petition was presented from the owners and occupiers of laud in the county of Cardigan, complaining of agricul tural distress.

It appeared to him to have a st pet nicious tendency. The restrict'))))) imposed oaths which no Roman Catholic clergyinati could take without a sacrifice of all his religious feeling, Seeing danger in the operation of the and the little sincerity it would obtain, lie was dispissed to reject it in tido. The DUKE of YORK rose. to deliver his sentiments upon this question. Ills Rural II iliness observed, that the house, was culled upon to bane kill a me.isure altith 'A mild operate as a repeal of all the liras and Protestant seem Sties brought in by the revoliition of 1680, and which placed the I's ly of his presetit Majesty on the throne.

(Ileac hear.) Earl DARNLEY felt dint the constitution would in no respect be' ed by passing the bill There could be no fair pretence far denying the 1t,,,,, Catholics of Ireland a fair and equal participation in the rights and privileges of the constitution they had sib ufsen fought to mailman. If ally Anis should be realized, after pmsiug the bill, the Pros testains would have the remedy ens their own hands—they formed a taige inujority, and cosarqueutly would be able at 511 all times to firbirlllll any danger which niight by accident arise from she hill. The LORD CIIANCELLOII said, that night it was his business to remove some of the prejudices enteetainril by the au VOCki tea of the bill. The question was, whether the bill, with its provisions, ought to be read a second time? Now, upon that question, said Cu.. noble and learned hurl, " I defy any Mall who knows she law of the country, rind the pi iiiciples of the constitution, to pass this bill. — lit is inipu,sible tor ally man in my judgment, to pass a hill with the provisions in this bill.'' It had lung been his Ira in Ail duty to oppose similar measures. Ili, opinion upon the subject was this—parliantent ought to go into committee to consider what was to lie done with the claims of the Roman Catholics, but those who thought they could alter the essential linotaniental principles of the itution of the country, were hoitutt not to throw the weight of the question upon a committee, but propose some general pi ineiple for the adoption of parliament. — tie could never bear to hold out hopes to the Roman Ca* tholics which he knew could sv.t be realised.
