He would say, however, that aes Nit wort so must be postponed until the amen saw tlsAsa the Row was disposed of ; and that with er* die consideration we should not make any pecuniary grant Male ha PEEL said that be should trouble the House with but a ! he observations id the present stage of the Bill, but he felt it esserry their odor tea portion of the debate which had taken Ihm (rn Irtderefew lie had received a letter front the widow ef dis late Mar if Sheath, who had been stated in the House to bias bus aima • Catholic Priest. The letter declared that he had atio so base, but that he was both ordained and priested by the hies of Peterborough ; that be was born a Roman Catholic, eel was educated at Paris, when at an early age ha saw reasons for • his religion, and went to Cambridge, whore he became a Watson's, and where he was ordained, and ordained ?re ling time, a Clergyman of the Church of England. He p i n k arm fa mow on the House for a very short time; he considered shat say bleier arguments of his would be unavailing, and could miaow influence the view which many elembers had taken of the selnet. He felt satisfied that he had offered to the measure every which he could offer with that consistency with which I re lr P a eldion ought to be made. His opinions were already on re ad, and he should be wrong in trespassing on the notice by 'dal ing what he had already stated ; but he was desirous of taking this op p remity to declare, that he adhered to the sentiments he had slam. professed. He did not, however, concur in opinion with those who thought that no concessions should be made to the Ca. Victim, because he declared his reading to give the Roman Ca tholics of England the same priviss as were enjoyed by the Catholics of Ireland, and he had mewed that this was not a vague astettion. After the fullest candied:is*, his opinions remained latheredd that it would be to the t interests of this coun try to exclude from the higher o ex, of the State those who pro. felted the doctrines of the Church of Rome. He was the mote etevinced of the correctness of this opinion when he recollected how completely religious feelings were connected with events in England, in Scotland, and in Ireland—when he recollected the Rewlation in this country, and the scenes that had occurred in the ethers lie was satisfied that it would not be wise or prudent to re move those harriers which it had been found necessary to set up, and Ir conceited that in one sense the removal of those disabilities would be mesasistert wish the Constnution. if by the Constitution was motet the Establishment of Church and State. An Hun. Mem. Ne (Mr. 11. Twits) had stated the disabilities of the Catholics to bate commenced under the reign of Charles 11., when the Latino was in an inflamed at d angry state; but he ( Ilir. Peel) could inform him that those disabilities were coeval with the Reformation. and he begged to refer him to an Act of the sth of Elizabeth, by winch every knight, Citizen, and Burgess, was obliged to take an oath, which, if they were now obliged to take, would answer all the purposes of the oath they now declined taking. Ills lion. Friend had referred to the Statute of Edward VI., and read from the preamble some expressions which he no doubt consi e.cred very beautiful, that in peaceable times they might think a light and libeind garment sufficient, but that in stormy and tem. peouous times a coarser and thicker would be necessary : but did his lion. Friend, when be quoted the preamble of that statute in tat argument for liberality and fitness of seasons, recollect, or rather knew. that the very statute lie mentioned would subject him to the Penalty of death for uttering the opinions lie had that night promul gated: By the 7th clause of that Act it is provided, that if any one shall, by dad writing, or word, after the last day of 3larch, in the year mentioned, deny that his Majesty is the supreme head of the church, or attempt to assert the spiritual supremacy of the Pope In these realms, he shall be liable to suffer death, in the same man ner, and with the same forfeiture of goods, lands, and chattels, as if he had been guilty of high treason 7 And yet this is the light and liberal vest in which the lion. Gentleman would invest us. (Hear, hesi. .) His Hon. Friend spoke of the injustice of withholding el. ': 1 riehts on account of spiritual opinions, anti told the House. al though lie held their opinions 'upon spiritual subjects in abhor. race_perhaps he did not use so strong a word, but he at all events expressed his dislike of their religious opinions, but that he did not minder it a sufficient ground tor cecleding them from the enjoy. 'tent of civil rights. There he understood him. But he con :elided, that when those who held those doctrines came forward ! le n'snding civil rights, it gave a distinct right to make inquiries iota those tenets which they oth...rwise might not possess. The light Hors. Gentleman then alluded to the Bill for paying the Priesthood of Ireland, and asked how they could approve of a wee 'ere as a security, which declare, at once that it is not the ram, but the law which is to bestow this provision, or how they t'uld be called upon to settle by law a provision prospective upon 's^ consent of Parliament to pass this Bill ? l le moot say , that if ees Bill h a d been supported by the Gentlemen opposite merely for "e Paltry purpose of catching a few votes, it was a degrada. " 11 Of Parlament ; what lie said when it was discussed, could rst bind hint either to support or reject It. He had entreated the 11^`,+e to pause and consider well the principle and bearings of the ll '''lleete, before it pledged itself t 3 adopt it ; that lie repeated seal. Le he mast say that it was his opinion that the question of the Pee.aa ran whom that bounty is to be bestowed should be reserved foe. the consideration of Government ; and he never sniff consent to its adoption without reaming that consent ; fa thm was a one where the consent of Government was 1 that was one of the strongest in its necessity. or I - however, he knew nothing, but what was contained in the speech of the Noble lord who introduced it, in which he stated that it was his intention to propose 1.10& a-year for Archbishops. and other sums for Bishops and Clergymen. This was all he knew of it, except that the Honourable Member for Winchihea had said the Bill committed those who voted fur it to no particular method of supplying the aunt required • because, if they did net like to burthen the public purse with the payment of the atm required, they might take it nut of the revenues of the Estrthlhthed Church—a method of supplying it which certainly did not tend to reconcile him to the measure itself, lie would not, however, say more, with reference to the right of the Crown upon this question, than that Dr. Doyle said aeon his examination, whatever might be the. method of bestow the bounty of the Crown, the Members of the Cadealic Om& eloeld *ever consent to soy interference in its disposition. Hossesbkelowesq, es he said before, that without concealing the Is which this imestion was unhappily involved, he liedlevlesul which would give •atisfaction to all pattd sbsslsetthwsybt if the Crown, and certain high Ws saes& wss• excluded from these dignities his deka. enough would remain fur their impausirs of i injustice on those who withheld gassy ingislimhe in those who accepted what were Awl hint hr wadi*. serve, that notwithstanding all he had hoed is else Heme, wad eV ' he hap . read in the evidence so often alluded se. he did not believe that w ithholding those claims led to the miseasisies ithicis unhap pily it could not be denied prevailed in Ireland , et that the Catho lics were subjected to any injustice or 'medication by the refusal to make the concessions required. But if It had been proved to his satisfaction that there was soy inMetios et eppression—if it had been ved that there had beim easy tampaings with patiee--any one proved that there had bees say tampetisigs with justice_any one nstancr of suffering frogs ice partial admioiseestion, he would' ke thought the demand's( the Catholics were just—that their 46inie stood upon geed Asada, and would sot have denied their relief. ( Hear. %He acknowledged that the Hamm was a state of y, but he could not concede to the I c= " Prir.oident of the of Trade. that the oaths proposed to be taken were a sufficient ammity. lie could not concur in any opinion khy it was wise to ales hi that opposition which he had hitherto teen upon conesiloilem tostives, and on constitutional tp the Oaken' Of thellawan Catholic to the higher of the PM, . most attentive consideration ra - the arguments psi hi le favour of emcee deo and spinet tzarina diremet se Irbil It kid Kahane been carried. buthe we. amspelled to say that as be rentalased un convinced, he felt himself bound to pursue that course which his conscience dictated. it give him pain to differ from many men on both sides of the !loose, whose opinions he valued ; but although he had the misfonune to hold sentiments upon this quemiqp Minnie to these entertained. by those friends with whom he was associated in political life—and although he might on other messima distrust his judgment, when opposed to the decisions of these Glands—still, as he felt this to be a question determinable epee grounds purely conscientious, he could not consent to defer even to their judgment. Whatever might be said of others, he felt that he at least had been no party to the hopes which had beets raised In the breasts of the Catholic liody; he therefore felt himself at perfect liberty to declare himself still hostile to the claims they advanced, and to express his determination to give this Bill his unqualified opposition. (Hear, hear.s Al r. BROUGHAM said, that after having debated this question for, he believed, twelve successive nights, it might be conceded that the House had at least not been guilty of the injustice of wanting due deliberation. After the share which he had taken in the de. bates upon these occasions, it might be allowed thathe had done enough for his justification, arid that it would be anunparionable vanity to think he could excite any novelty either of arggenent or illustration, from a subject so exhaustki. He could astute the House that he felt these considerations, and amid not have troubled it even for the brief space be intended, had he tof been called upon to make some reply to what had fallen from the Right Honourable Secretary for the Home Depertment, with reference to some observations which he had uttered in the Committee upon this Bill. He could only say, that he adopted on that occasion the ordinary statement of the known point of law, that the person or dained by the Pope was, to all intents and purposes, a Priest of the Protestant Church, without any other orillnauon. This was precisely what be had stated, and as an illustration he might mention one ter two persons, now in Holy Orders, who had never been ordained anywhere but abroad ; but as there was no necessity rbe ntestioning names to support that which was the acknowledged law, he would merely say, with respect to Bishop O'Beirne, he bad always understood that he ti .;+I admitted into Pro testant orders without any ordination, and that he was a Catholic priest before he renounced the errors of that religion. He had stated, Indeed, live nr six years ago, is that House, that it was his friend Bishop Hiuchley who procured him the prefer Tent, and that there were always great doubts as to the fact of his having received a second ordination. Here Mr. PEEL, again mentioned the letter, acres the table. Mr. BROUGHAM continued. He did not mean to deny that ; but with respect to the Bishop's having been a priest, he begged to say that although he might be satisfied with the denial upon that point, there were many others who were not satisfied; his brother, however, was a priest, and that might have led to the mistake. (Here the House manifested considerable impatience.) He had _promised he would be brief, and lie meant to keep his word. l'he Right Honourable Secretary had relied upon two or three arguments for refusing to redress the wrongs of the Catholics, but the main one was the danger which he apprehended to the este blfehment of the Ch urch from die Catholics form in g firm and emptier body, bound together by interest and principle to overthrow it. This was an argument which had been used repeatedly ; it had been over and over again spread upon the subject ; it had been used one hundred and twenty years ago, and was now used again to raise an apprehension of mischief, but he was sure our posterity would not receive any more inconvenience or fright from the adop tion of this measure to-night than we received inconvenience or danger from the menaces that had been formerly held out. The argument of the Right Hon. Secretary (Mr. Peel), as to the fears he entertained for the church, reminded him of the objections which had been made at the period of the Scottish Union by the spiritual predecessor of the present Bishop of Bath and Wells, who was a very earnest enemy of the present measure for the mond.. pation of the Roman Catholics. That Right Rev. Prelate, at the Enod of the proposed Union, in exposing the dangers to the stablished Church of this country, said that tongue could not ex. press the danger he apprehended from admitting sixteen Peers in o Parliament who must be of a different creed from that of this country. He regarded it as a measure, the necessary tendency of which was to subvert and overthrow the religion of this country. The Kirk of Scotland excited the alarm of the Right Reverend Prelate, but in the Scottish Parliament an apprehension of a dif ferent kind was entertained, and they who in that Parliament argued against the Union said, •' What ! send forty-five Com moners and sixteen Peers ; send the flower of our flock to Eng land, to the land of Bishops and abominations (Hear, and a laugh), their faith will be perverted, and they will come back and subvert or overthrow the established religion of Scotland." But notwith standing these opposite apprehensions, the measure was carried, and produced none of those mischievous effects which had been appre hended from it. So he was satisfied, that if the present measure were carried, it would not be productive of danger, or would it lead to the overthrow of the Established Church of this country, as ap prehended by the Right lion. Secretary for the Home Department. A Right Rev. Prelate, (the Bishop of Bath and Siells) the flower of our Episcopacy, had said, and he was no Jesuit, nor a lover of Jesuits, that an individual in subscribing to the thirty-nine articles did not subscribe to the particular belief of each of them ; but that believing is some and disbelieving in others, he in a manner lumped his faith, and that, an in the'ebbiug and overflow of the tide, the belief in one article was counteracted by a disbelief in another, and thereby a sort of average faith was embraced, which entitled the subscribing person to swallow the whole, and to as.. some to himself any situation or promotion In the Church or else where that he might be enabled to obtain. ( Hear, hear.) Amongst the objections to this measure was one mainly relied upon, namely, the discrepancy between a pamphlet of Bishop Doyle and the evidence of Ilishap Doyle before the Irish Committee. Without any imputation on that highly-gifted man, he certainly wood not deny that there might be sonic intemperate expressions 111 that pamphlet, which he (Mr. Brougham) would not approve of. Nay, there were some expressions In it of which perhaps the writer would not himself, upon reflection, approve of. (Hear, hear.) There might be expressions in the speeches of members of the Roman Catholic body which they upon consideration may regret to have uttered, byt the utterance of which, under the circumstances in which they were spoken, admitted of much extenuation and excuse. Mom/ But was not the change of sentiment in these writings and speeches easily accounted for by the contrast of the treatment ob serve/1 towards them in this country, and in Ireland ? Here you opened the dotes of Parliament to thent—for she first time you heard an exposition of their sentiments and principle from them., selves, and for the light they let in upon you through the narrow chink through which you permitted it to enter—fur the disposition you have manifested to hear their complaints and grievances, anti hearing them to redress them, they have been grateful, and have become subdurd and mitigated in their tone. (Hear, hear.) But what is the inference from this? What, but that if you carry the same principle further—if you extend this principle you will encourage a better feeling on the part of the Roman Catholics towards you, and you will altogether subdue and alter any sentiments of harshness which the present policy you observe towards them may create. But, supposing these sentiments and expressions to be more intemperate even than they were alleged to be, they were after all the expressions and sentintenut of one or two individuals, and ought not to be regarded as expressive of the opinions of five or six millions of people. Was ft fair to judge of all by the sentiments of a few ? How would any Member of that House like to be told, " I judge of you by that man's speech ?" Ile was sure there were many Members in that House who would as little like to be judged by his sentiments as he would be to be judged by theirs. (Hear.) Would it not be'. most improper and unfair for any person who may have heard a speech a few nights ago--a speech containing very little sense and a great deal of nonsense, remarkable for little else than a vio lation of grammar—would it not lie most unjust to describe ' such a speech ; suppose it to be uttered by an Hon. Gentleman or an lion. Baronet, !Mr. Such-a-one, or Sir Somebody Such-a.one (of course he meant nobody)—(much laughter). to describe such a speech as illustrative of the style of speaking by the Right lion. the Secretary for the Hume Department. I Hear, hear.) As well might the writings and preaching% of a Rev. Baronet (we believe Sir H. Dees) be attributed to the Protestants of this country.

On the 4th they were to depart on their way to Paris, which they were expected to reach on Mon day. On Tuesday they were engaged to dine with the King of FRANCA:, at St. Cloud. The Etoile contains the account of the founding of a new English settlement on the north coast of Holland. It also announces the death of M. PIERCE LE CLERC, Chc. 'slier de BercoN, brother of the illustrious naturalist, in the 91st year of his age, near Montbard, where he was born, 23d June 173 k, and died 22t1 April 1825. In the official part of the Moniteur there are two Royal ordi nances approving the statutes of two societies, one called the Society of the Canal of the Duke of Angouleme, the the other of the Canal of the Ardennes. The non-official part contains the following notice, which was posted, at two o'clock on Friday, in the great room of the Exchange:— " CAISSE D'A3IORTISSE3IENT. " Law of May 1. 1823. " Art. 3. From the date of the publication of the present law, the sums set apart for the Amortissentent shall not be employed in the redemption of stock above par. The purchases which the Caisse d'Amortissement makes shall take place publicly, and with competition. " 31. de Laville Lerouse, Exchange Agent of the Caisse d'Amor. tissenient, will employ to-day, the 6th May, the sum of 250.000 fr. in redeeming renter, either at 44 or 3 per cent. for want of 5 prr cents., at or below par. " The Maitre de Requetes, Director. (Signed) "PA SQUI ER." [From the Courrier Francais of Sanday.) We have accounts from Senegal of the 211th March, confirming what we before said, that the Governor of the Colony would not allow those among the departed colonists who had some resources left, to freight a vessel for their unfortunate companions. Ile made them depart two and two together. We learn also that the English islands of Trinidad and St. Lucia, where the people of colour en. joy civil and political rights, had been enriched by the loss which Martinique has suffered of its most industrious citizens. By the conditions of the forthcoming Spanish Loan, we understand that the bond-holders will be allowed two years to accept the terms that will be offered to them. If, at the end of that time, they should not all have acceded to these terms, the contractors will pay the composition for the amount outstanding into the Royal Treasury, and on that payment they will be acquitted of all responsibility on that account. We have already stated that the Loan will be nominally for 24 millions, more than half of which, however, will be absorbed by the Bonds of the Cortes, the repayment of Ge a aii• an's Loan, and the liquidation of the British and French claims. The amount, therefore, really to be brought into the market, will not be so great as to render the operation very difficult. It will be much faci litated should the bonds be received, as there is good rea son to believe they will, at 35, in the subscription to the new Loan. The new Bonds under no circumstances will be taken higher than 32, the price at which they were issued. We beg to be understood to repeat what we said yesterday with respect to the correctness of our information regarding this transaction. None of those who are really aware of what is passing will deny our statements. It is known to whom we allude; and we call upon them, if they can, to point out any part of any article we have writ ten on this subject, which is not perfectly accurate in every particular it relates. The Roman Catholic Relief Bill was last night read a third time in the House of Commons, and passed. On the division the numbers were—Ayes, 248; Noes, 227. The majority in favour of the third read ing was consequently but 21, six less than on the second reading. The principal speakers against the Bill last night were, Sir H. ItioLis, the SOLICITOR- G LN R Al., and Mr. Secretary Pr sr. ; those in support of it were Mr. Ct RSV EN, Mr.*C. GRANT, Mr. IltisstssoN, and Mr. Baouotessi. The arguments on each side were unavoidably such as have been a hundred time& re peated. The speeches which produced the greatest impression upon the House were those of Mr. C. GRANT, Mr. HusatssoN, and Mr. PEEL. The Right Honourable Secretary declared that his former objections to the repeal of the disabilities of the Roman Catholics were strength ened by the measures by which it was accompanied, spe cialty the provision for the Irish priesthood. It remains, however, now for the Upper House of Parliament to de termine whether this important Bill shall become part of the law of the land.

We regret to announce the death of the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Salisbury, which melancholy event took place on Sunday evening last, at his residence in Upper: Seymour-gal-et, Portman-square. Lieut.-General Sir It. S. Donkin, it is understood, wilt be appointed Colonel of the 80th Regiment of Foot, sire Lieut.-General Sir A. Campbell, deceased. It is confidently stated, that Lord Manners has ex.. pressed a wish to retire from the fatigues of office. The appointment tit the Right Hon. the Attorney-General as his successor is considered to be a point aboolutely fixed upon. The Solicitor-General, it is thought, will be ap pointed to the distinguished office of Attorney-General, and Mr. Sergeant Lefroy to the office of Solicitor-General. —Dublin Evening Poet .of Saturday. Mr. North and Mr. Doherty a re both spoken of as likely to succeed to the office of Sergeant at Law, which will be-. come Vacant in case Mr. Sergeant Lefroy should be ape pointed Solicitor-General of Ireland. The petition which was presented to the House of Com mons by Mr. Dickinson, from certain parts of Somerset-. shire, against further concessions to the Catholic claims, measured thirty feet in length, and included the towns of Bridgewater, Glastonbury, Crewkerne, llchester, Bruton, Castle Cary, IVincanton, Yeovil, Chard, with many other populous places.

The Milan Gazette mentions the arrival cf the Emperor of Austria, and the Archduke, his second son, at Vicenza, on the 23d ult. Letters have been received from Odessa, dated the lltlt of April. They mention, as a curious fact, that the Greek newspapers circulate wit hout reseintion in Constantinople, but that in Odessa and in the neighbouring countries they are rigidly prohibited. A letter from Athens states, that the Greek Chief Odys. seus, accompanied by his aid-de-camp, to whom he has promised his sister in marriage, remains at his fortified grotto, waiting for sonic change of circumstances favourable to his designs. Deputies from Ipsara arrived at Athens on the 23th of January, by virtue of an order from the Greek Government,. to ask for leave to found a town in the Platens. Permission, under certain regulations, was granted. The Camden packet, from Buenos Ayres, has brought the Commercial Treaty between this country and Buenos Ayres. Mr. Nunez, Secretary to thelate President, Riva.. davia, has arrived in the Camden, and, it is expected, should M. Rivadavia be called to preside over the I: eders. don of the Provinces of Buenos Ayres (an event which.ap pears to be anticipated), that Mr. Nunez will fill the post of Miuister to this country. Accounts from Batavia, dated December 11, mention a recent earthquake in the island of Lacon, near the city of Manilla, which had done great mischief, and, ns it was believed, occasioned the loss of many lives. Some dif. ferenees had occurred between the Dutch on the west coast of Borneo, and the Chinese of Montrado. The parties bad -proceeded to hostilities, and the Dutch, overpowered by numbers, had thought it adviashie to retreat from Sink°. wang. They accordingly spiked and abandoned their cannon, and threw the ammunition into the river, the roads being too bad to bring them away. Saved by the darkness of the night, they reached the boats, when they found that ten Europeans, and some natives, were missing. Besides these, they had lost in one of the preceding skir mishes, nine Europeans, and fourteen natives. We have received Singapore Chronicles to the 9th De• cember inclusive, which give some important intelligence from that settlement and the Eastern Archipelago, mid especially with respect to the state of the Dutch colonies in the Eastern Islands. In Celebes, the Dutch settle ment of Nlaeasiar was closely hemmed in by the savages, and was anxiously expecting the arrival of reinforcements from Java. In the interior of Sumatra an insurrection had broken out, which cannon and ammunition have been sent from Banca to suppress. But the most formidable attack which the Dutch have suffered has been in a quar ter where it was little apprehended. The Chinese gold miners, on the west coast of Borneo, are in insurrection against the Dutch authorities, and have displayed a degree of courage and skill for which that people have never bad credit. A force of 300 regular, and 4or 300 irregular, Dutch troops has been completely worsted, with the loss of all its cannon and other arms, ammunition, and baggage. Seventeen ships have been taken up by the East India Company, for the purpose of conveying troops to India. Some are to sail in the present month, and the re mainder in June. The number of King's troops destined for India is e,700, and of the Company s troops 630.
