The Beer Bill, and Scotch Confirmation Bill were branghtup from the House of Commons, and read a first time. A Noble Lord, whose name we could not hear, pre sented a petition against the Beer BM STATE OF IRELAND. The Doke of LEINSTER presented a petition from the Philanthropic Society in Ireland, praying that some measure might be adopted for the labouring poorof that 'country, founded on the plan of Mr. Owen. Lord CLARE said he Should support the prayer of 'this petition, becalm the peasantry of Ireland were in a most distressed and degraded state, and lie conceived it absolutely necessary to adopt immediate measures for 'their relief. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. The Doke of DEVONSHIRE rose to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice respecting the State of Ireland. His Grace began by adverting to the p incessant and alarming disturbances by which that no happy country had been agitated from time immemorial, And contended that such a state of things could never o kayo existed if there had not been soinettliug wrong in the Government. A bad Government always produced bad sal eets; whereas, under a mild and beneficent Go vernment. rubjects were generally peaceable and con tented. It was recorded in the history of Ireland that that country had beets in a state of insurrection for• cen turies past. It was the duty of Parliament to institute an inquiry into the causes of this dreadful state of things, and to adopt an entirely new system with a view of putting an end to it. All persons agreed in re presenting the state of Ireland as most alarnrn;r,, and in thinking that a remedy was absolutely necessary ; but whenever a call was made for inquiry, and for a remedy, it was passed over without notice. It was a reproach to the Parliament, that instt ad of adopting any wise or conciliatory measures, the evils of Ireland were always aggravated by the adoption of severe penal laws on all occasions. Instead of any liberal concessions haying ever been made, every thing like • relaxation of the seve rity of the penal lass was uniformly refused. A great majority of the people of Ireland were deprived of their civil and political rights on account of their religious faith ; and it was only by abandoning that unjust and im politic system, that any hope couldever be entertained of securing the loyalty and affection of those proscribed people. The narrow policy of those who had long borne a.sway in the Councils of Ireland, had kept alive that jealousy and discontent: which bad given permanebce to the misfortunes of that country. Tbe policy of those persons was never to discuss any question that could hive amelioration for its object, and on which the safety of the • country depended. Their policy was to usurp and mono polize power, and keep the great majority of the people, a state of insulting exclusion. They could not bear the idea of giving those people a triumph; and therefore ;Us cord and jealousy must be perpetrated. In short the Go vernment of Ireland was held by a small faction, which went undef the name of Orangemen. This was a melan choly state of things which should no longer-be suffered to continue. The affections of the Irish people could never be relied on so long as there existed one law for Protes tants and another law for Roman Catholics. The Orange I faction of Ireland was odious to the great mass of the people, and there would never be any thing like tranquil lity in the country until that faction was pat down. In the last Session of Parliament the great question of the tithe system had been adverted to. Having then de livered his opinion at some length on that question, he , slibuld not dwell upon it at present, particularly so, as, there was then before the other House of Parliament a measure for making an alteration in that system. The tithes of Ireland constituted a tax that was most burden• some to the people of that country ; and he hoped the Bill before the other House would propose some salutary amelioration in that system. He would, above all things, urge the necessity of granting liberal concessions to th Catholics with regard to civil and political privileges; , Ise Would recommend an equitable asrangemeot with re.: gard to tithes; a total exclusion of the Orange faction from the undue mcaopoly of power which they possess• eel and an equal and vigorous administration of tali. law. If any measures of amelioration were now in pro. grass, he hoped they would s be effectual measures. He had formed great expectations from the appointment of the Noble Marquess who was now at the head of the Go vernment in Ireland ; but it was much to be regretted that his views and opinion respecting the state of that country had not been communicated to that House. The Noble Marquess must have made some communications to Government ; and he (the Duke of Devonshire) was' curious to know whether that Nohleman.still adheredlo the opinion's which lie had formerly profissed respectini, the affairs of Ireland ; and if he did adhere to those opi nions, it was fit to , have it ascertained whether they had been acted on. After some further observations , : the No ble Duke concluded by inuring certain Resolutions to ' the following effect:—That it was the opinion of that House that the general stete of Ireland was of a most alarming nature ; that the extraordinary powers granted to the Government for producing tranquillity in that country, bad not produced the intended effect ; that the House would be ready to concur in any measure which might be brought forward with a view of altering this melancholy state of things ; that experience had fully shown that none of the ricans hitherto resorted to, fbr effecting that object, had answered the end; and that It was the ditty of that House to apply an effectual reme dy without further delay. Earl BATHURST said that the proposition of the . Noble Duke went to the extent of calling on the House to declare, that the system of Government aetbd upon in frelandavas fundamentally wrong • and as this was a pro position on which he must differ from the Noble Duke, he could not concur in his motion. He denied that the system in Ireland was fundamentally wrong. On the contrary, the British Government had, during a period of several years, conceded many privileges to the people of Ireland; and given them many commercial advant ages, even to the prejudice, in some inbtancee, of the Eng. dish people. The importation of grain from Ireland into Great Britain had been permitted without any duties, at a time when duties were imposed on grain imported from all other countries; and, indeed, the kith cultivators Might i:• this instance, be said to have enjoyed a monopo ly of the market. His Lordship now proceeded to enter into an enumeration of the advantages conferred upon Ireland, by the establishment of many wholesome regu lations. An improved and beneficial system of police had been established there already. There had also' ' been an improvement in the administration of justice, in, a general revision of the Magistrates, in the removal of many, and the appointment of others more competent. — There were besides some measures materially affecting the domestic economy of Ireland. Great mischief had arisen from the power the Grand Janet had of imposing local taxes. This power, constituted a great grievance. So great was that grievance, that at the time when the taxes of Ireland amounted only to fear millions, the takes laid on by Grand Juries were little less than one million. This evil was removed by Act of Parliament Money had been granted for the erection of public works, which tended greatly to the advantage of the lower or ders in Ireland. As to the plan recommended by the Noble Duke (Leiester), who presented a petition from Ireland this day, be assured him that Government was endeavouring to give every possible degree of attention to it. In It9is, when the English and Irish Exchequer were consolidated, Ireland was discharged from the obligation of her exclusive debt, and this year the country was relieved from all her assessed taxes. It was not for them to say that Ireland was op pressed by a coercive system of Government. As to conciliatory measures, such bad been adopted alrea dy. He did not think the subject of Catholic Etna°. cipation ought to he introduced at this time, when so many differences of opinion existed on it, and those who opposed that question ought not to be marked down as the enemies of Ireland. With respect to the motion now made, it differed very little from that introduced last year by a Noble Marquess, who proposed several measures which had since been adopted. That 'Noble Marquess. recommended the lowering of taxation, and that was since done. Thee there was no proof of any neglect of duty on the part of his Majesty's Government. He did not wish to give the Noble Duke's. motion a direct nega tive, and therefore he should move the previous question. Lord CLIVE spoke in explanation. Lord CLINTON denied that any improvenient had taken place in the finances of Ireland, by any measure of Government; for the measures alluded to by the Noble Earl were adopted as matters of necessity on account of the poverty of the Irish people. The evils of Ireland were innumerable, and the tithe system in.which no im provement bad been made, was eine of the greatest. A great part of the grievance of tithes arose from the abo lition of the tithes of agistment which caused the chief oppression of that tax to fall on the lower orders, and op to this moment the tithe system in Ireland gave rise to confusion, riot, and bloodshed. Tithes in Ireland wire wholly different from what they were in England. The farms in Ireland were very small, being generally from 5 to 20 acres each, and if the cultivators of these little farms refused to pay the demands made on them by the Clergy, they . were immediately dragged before a Court where a partial ecclesiastic acted as J udge and Jury: and they never could rely on having justice done to them.— There was in !reload an increasing and mischievous po pulation ; it was necessary to establish some system of manufactures by which they could be fully employed ; and then Ireland 'might be converted into a mine of wealth. lie would recommend it to- Parliament to repeal, to the very last letter, the whble of that abominable penal Code, which begun in the reign of Queen Anne, and constituted the greatest mass of oppression that ever ex : lsted in any country. Here the Noble Lord quoted a work publislird by Lord Carteret, which described the ' cruel oppressions suffered by the people in consequence of the atroilom Penal Code ; and these sentiments were uttered -by a Protestant, and a man always attached to the Government. It was necessary that Ireland should be relieved from the horrible oppression of an Ecclesiastical Establishment, 4ere there were churches without flocks. If there were to be Clergy in Ireland, let them be paid ; but as to paying them by tithes, that was quite out of the question. Such a system could not go on. The Noble Lord next alluded to the triumph which the Orangemen had lately gained, when their Chief Master was suffered to resist the power of the House of Commons With impunity. He had read the account in the Papers. eee(A cry of " Order.")—Such was the insolence •of ,Orangemen, and such the irritation excited among the bulk ,of the people of Ireland, that no one could tell what the, cOnseqoenees mie;ht be if another Hoche or Humbert were to land with foreign hostile troops in that country. Earl DARNLEY said, if Parliament did not go to the bottom of that evil which disfigured an island which na ture had' designed to be the best bulwark of Britain, that island would ultimately be the cause of its destruction. — All the Noble Secretary of State had said was, that cer tain regulations had been adopted from time to time which produced little or no advantage, and for which the Ministers were not entitled to any credit. Pledges for amelioration had been riven, but never redeemed. In the other House Of ParLansent many weary hours had been spent in siiscessioas on the state of Ireland without any beneficial result ; and at last a triumph was given to that faction who were the greatest enemies of the coun try. A measure was introduced for the commutation of tithes, and he did not think he should ever see the con sumation of it, as he unr!erstood all parties in [rebind were dissatisfied with the Bill now before the other House. The Church party looked on it as an arack on their rights, and the farmers conceived it would impose increas ed burdens on them. He therefore despaired of any thing effectual being chine for the relief of Ireland. Thut country bad always been governed on a principle of disunion : ever since the &Lys of Henry 11. there was no thing but oppression there ; and the laws of Queen Anne consummated those oppressions. A line of demarkation, had constantly been kept tip between the Irish and English. The Irish detested the very name of Eng land, because the policy of the latter country had ever been that of exclusion and injustice. All those things surely were sufficient to induce their Lord ships to institute an inquiry into the state of Ire land. He begged their Lordships to consider that every argument, founded on justice and policy, had been used in that House in favour of Ireland, and they were only met by vague assertions and declarations, that every thing had been done in favour of Ireland which could be done. But why were not the penal laws against the Ca tholics removed? Why did that House reject the Bill for giving relief to the Catholics? What danger could have arisen from the admission of six Catholic Peers into that House. Some Noble Lords had talked of danger from al lowing privileges to Catholics ; but did they ever consider what danger was likely to arise from keeping six millions of Catholic subjects in a state of degradation and hostility ; and did it occur to them that the Catholics might become at tached to the Bourbons? He contended that Catholic Eman cipation was absolutely necessary to the tranquitlity of Ire- I land, and safety of England. No.msn had a higher re spect for the talents and virtues of the Noble Marquess at the bead of the Government of Ireland than himself; bathe was astonished when be saw him accepting that great trust under such a Cabinet as now qxisted in this country ; for in taking the Government while/flie present system existed, he must have foreseen the impossibility of governing the country to any advantage. The present Administration of Ireland seem to have all the colours of the rainbow, and to be inconsistent in every thing, except a determination to keep their places. Under the present system the peasants of Ireland would ever be in a state of insurrection and re bellion: Was it consistent with reason that these peasants would ever lay aside their animosities against the Govern ment, when they were obliged to pay two sets of clergymen, while rich Protestant graziers living near them paid no tithes at all ? The English peasants lived in a state of com parative comfort; but those of Ireland were the most wretched in the world; for almost every thing they pro duced from the lots of ground they cultivated, was dragged from them.—lt was the paramount. duty of every landed proprietor in Ireland to give as much employment as possi ble to the peasantry. Of this the Noble Duke who opened tais debate had given an excellent example ; but as long as the Government acted iu its present spirit sod systein,he felt no hope that any refjrm would take place in the state of -retain& Lord GOSFORD said that the state of Ireland was most dangerous. The House ought not to separate till something was done. The affliction that had beset Ire• land was a mat-administration. The country was in that state, that if something were not done, the consequences would be ruinous. Lord CALEDON wished them to resort to any change, rather than continue the present system of mal-adaduis- Vinton. Lord MARYBOROUGH admitted the importance of the subject. He acknowledged the able manner in which the motion was brought forward. No oue knew better than the Noble Duke the state or Ireland, and the means of alleviating its condition ; but he could not admit that there had been nothing but coercion since the Union. It was an unjust reflection on the Govan went and on Parliament. He felt it his duty to oppose the motion. To agree to the Resolution would be cruel towards Parliament as well as the Government. In the statement that had been made, some points had been omitted that ought to have been noticed. It was said that nothing had been done towards promoting the edu cation of the poor ; and that in the face of the ample Reports -made by the Commissioners appointed on the subject The schools, of which there were many, h sul been overwhelmed with abuse; the Commissioners in vestigated them all ; and now there were nut schools better conducted. Those Commissioners went so far as to advise a seminary for the education of school. masters. So much for saying that nothing had been done for the education of the lower orders in Ireland. Then, as to other points :----There haul been six new harbours constructed by authority of the British Parliament; there had been nearly one mil lion granted to protect the interests of trade ; sums had been voted for other public works ;-91.10,0001. to pro. mote inland navigation: and all these things had been done by that Parl ament which sd neglected Ireland.— (Hear, hear.). To the seminary atlllaynooth there had been granted 200,0001. There was another point that ought not to be forgotten—the adoption of means for the building of glebe houses to promote the residence of the Clergy and the Gentry. There had been ar rangements for building several Inutdred churches, glebe houses, &c.; and the whole batt taken place since the Union. The attention to Irish objects had never been ont of the view of Parliament ; and it had n•ut been pe culiar to any Admigistration. He would not eKeropt the Administration of Noble Lords opposite, though he could recollect only two boons they had granted to Ire land. The first was the hisarrection Act—(mar, hear) —at least it was prepared, and found in their office when they were unfortunately removed. He was no friend to that Act; but the peaceful atul loyal were en titled to be protected. It was the merit of Administra tion since the Union, that they did not disdain to adopt measures proposed by those who might not generally co operate with the Government. The Commission respect , lag Courts of Justice, for instance, originated with Sir J. Newport. The Commission he doubted not would be productive of great advantages. There was also a Com miision on the subject of the Irish Revenue, which bed also produced advantages to the revenue as well es some able reports. Therefore to say that Parliament had not been mindful of the interests of Ireland was contradicted by facts. There were many useful measures before Par liament as to Catholic emancipation ; be should be glad to see it carried • but at the present mo ment he believed it to he impracticable. That was Iris decided opinion. There was a carious circumstance in the present discussion. All praised the talents of the Lord Lieutenant, yet his measures were condemned; they were called milk and water, and he knew not what. But all the Noble Lords opposite who were so wonder fully anxious to assist the Government, bad not proposed one measnre for the benefit of Ireland. Many subjects connected with the interests of Ireland were attended with great difficulties. The two Bills on the subject of tithes proved such fact. He thought that tithes were property as decidedly as other species of property. They could not make one law for the clergy, ant another for the lay proprietors ; and yet more titan one half the tithe property belonged to lay impropriators, who ex. acted more severely than the clergy. Those Bilk might be lost—he hoped they would not; but if they were lost now, the Lord Lientenant would never lose sight of the subject. .There were other equally beneficial measures. The Constable's Act, the arrangement respecting the distilleries, &c. All these proceedings proved that sw cessive Administrations and the Parliament had not been unmindful of the interests of Ireland; and that great efforts had been made to promote the advantages of that part of the kingdom. As he had long been con nected with that pkrt of the United Kingdom, he cool! not but feel a deep interest in her welfare ; however, as the motion went to impute blame where blame was not doe, he felt it to be his duty to give the 'notion his deci ded opposition. Lord HOLLAND was astonished at the grounds on which their Lordships were recommended to reject this motion. The speeches and arguments against the mo tion dwelt much on the " boons" that had been grant ed to Ireland, and contended that inquiry was therefore unnecessary. The object of those who urged and de feniled the motion, desired that there should be exami nation into the cause of the disturbances; and even those Noble Lords who said so much about the boons granted to Ireland, did not deny that disturbances ex isted ? They could not. The question, then, was re tickled to a very narrow compass ; whether it would not be advisable to have a Parliamentary pledge that the sub ject should be investigated. The Noble Lords opposite had not denied that discontents amounting almost to re bellion now existed in Ireland; but then they would make it out what ungrateful persons those Irishmen must be, after all the boons that bad been granted to them— after all the schools that bad been established—the roads that had been made, and the public works tha t had been promoted. Noble Lords were fond of advert ing to what had formerly been done, as if this (-nese lion could be answered by reference to what Bills had been passed by the Parliament. if the Government co:ild justify their proceedings, and the present state of Ireland; boy statements about the great works that had been pro moted, bow mach stronger a defence could Napoleon have preferred on like ground.? When En'gland and other Powers were opposing his progress, and when they were complaining of his system, Napoleon might bare only de sired his opponents to look at his public works—at the roads he had formed—at the palaces he had built—and at the improvements he had promoted. The Noble Lords when they spoke of Ireland, adopted somewhat similar language, only they left oat all about the " improve ment" of Ireland. They were also fond of adverting to the Administration of 1806, but that subject was now so stale, that he knew not how it could be made tolerable for any future occasion, except some of the Noble Lords opposite would resign their seats for a time in favour of Noble Friends around laugh.) That might afford the chance of rendering reference to the Adini`iis nation of his Noble Friends of some interest. He, how ever, almost disdained to take any notice of such refer. ences; they had been so frequently made, and so often answered. But he (Lord Maryborongh) could not avoid adverting to what had been said about the Insurrection Act. He saw it in the office in 1806; it was true it was prepared at that time, but having seen it he declared that be should enter his protest against it. The vote he gave in its favour, when it was presented by Noble Lords op. hesite, was the only vote that lie ever regretted giving ; gave it, because he shrunk from the charge of incon sistency, as be could not then assign reasons for differing from his Noble Friends. They had also been mentioned as having tried to do a bit for the Catholics. They had made such effort, and the consequences were some proof of their sincerity. On that question they went out of office, a proceeding that seemed to be quite out of the mind of the Noble Lord (Maryborongh) who had recently spok en. That Noble Lord, the House he'd learned, hail onto wavered on this question, but now his opinion was de cided. He thought the Catholics ought to be emanci pated, and yet he held an office with those who would not suffer the question to be agitated. To return, how ever, to the question more immediately before the House, their Lordships would bear in mind that the resolution did not say any that nothing had hrea done by the Parliament for Ireland • but it said the t the freqnent recurrence of suspensions Of the laws and of dis turbances, made it imperative on their Lordships to in quire into the cause of such constantly-recurring calami ties. Would their Lordships say that there was nothing wrong in Ireland ?—(iiear, hear.) They hail ventured oat no such assertior, and the Resolution only welt to pledge the House to instiote inquiry. Those who supported the previous question might do so on the ground that it was right to leave all to the Executive Government. it was to left to the Executive Government last year. He then _protested against such proceeding, and now, on more ma ture reflection, he was more decidedly against leaving the subject with the Executive Government. At that time the Noble Lord (Liverpool) at the head of !ha Tretssay.„ said that " the evil ought to be probed," and that it was "deep in thetrame of society." With such opinion.; as to the state of Ireland, who would not have imagined that that the Noble Lord would have set to work to probe that evil that was so deep in the frame of society ? Who would not have expected that he would have dug and delved till he had discovered remedies fur such deeply-fixed evils ! But instead of appearing with any labouring discovered jewel, they heard of two crumbs that were to satisfy all wants. 'rimy were told of the two Tithe Bills; but as yet the House haft not got them, and, from ail h.s heard, they were not likely to have them soon, nor In so satisfac tory a form as might be desired, And when they came, he thought they were not very likely to pass that lio.iss this Session. They were to.d that much was doing to make those measures effective ; there was a v. st deal of ma chinery; they were to be " woven ioto one vast web ;" bat where there was so much preparation, and where so much of the Session was exhausted, he entertained fa nt hopes. — He bad invariably observed that, under such circumstances, the " Noble Penelope" who preaidedin that House, anew', I Iby his handmaids with many lamentstions and some tows. contrived to unravel the web. Siich, he ex;ireted, w0..1 I be the fate of the Tithe Bills. Tne lord Lieutenant a I been mentioned, and he had no hesitation iu saying, Hatt he . - _Al\ ls. r
