There were measures cometeta with the question fur which he would have voted. He would for butane., have the Engliah Romeo Catholk Peers placed on the Palk* footing with the Irish Romeo Catholic Peers. Hut this measure he objected to. as being specific, and par. vial in its operations, and general in its principle.-- (Hear.) —The question was, whether the Peek could pt in Parliament without takiwi that oath which all Coos owners were obliged to take. If they 'tow disposed with securities, they never meld again require them with equal force.—(llear, bear )-If, thee. this was a Bill which was to effect without seen:hies that for which it. cnrities had formerly been offered, bow w Is be to learn the ground on whirls the several osseous waste be con ceded with safety ? Quo teneasit veins, faineant* Pretea mode ? Might it net next year be said, why did yea admit six Peers without restrictions, while yea Ann for such re strictions on us Commoners?—(Hear.)—in point of fact this was a bill to relieve the Peers from the oath of supremacy. Last year another oath of supremacy, so enamouted were they of oaths of aupressacy,—(a laugh) had bees engrossed with the bill of relief to Rooms Ca. thelics ; but this year all securities were to be evaded, By reference to the Bill of Rights, it would be found that it formed a declaration of the Commons for ever against such a measure as the present. file objeclio* then was, that the Act of Elie. embracing poi ectples cos oval with the revolution, and coexistent with all ite visions of oar laws, imposed an oath of supreeldi stood opposed to the present Bill. Time hoses who eel pass in favour of the Peers • measure which they had ttempted in a more extensive form. (The Hon. Gentleman them alluded to the rase of Lord Stafford, and the cry aisiost the Roseau Catioolies at that time.) It was not upon coosideration epriori that restrictive laws had beam passed, but from the experience of pest yams. It was not, therefore, to henries's' sow, that because *e l sante daegers did sot exist, the same precautions were riot necessary. —(Hear, hear, bear.)—He oppised this question, therefore—first, bonuse it led to till sewn* sorevere; 24, berates k was infieltely limelliteptehle them a fall concession; 3d, because it pr4oliced the ioemeneesimsestiom oat greeted, y 4 and, which had been always thought so esquire y and, 4tbly, because it was opposed to the reverel cha racter and spirit of our laws. All that the home would do by relating the present Bill, would be only delaying the discussion of the same point, embodied in the general measure, for four or five months. His Right Honour. able Friend (Mr. Plankett) had promised, that at a ray early period in the next Session be would bring the got toeral subject fully before the homes, sad there was no doubt it would be enforced with all his usual ability. He (Mr. Plunkett) would tell the house, that what be should ask Would not be admission, but an eligibility to Afire. It would be impossible to look at this delay of fuer months as prejudicial to the measure.—(Hear, bear; from some members on the opposition side.)—He ander. stood those cheers, and he assured Shoo. members that he did not wish to state any thing unfairly ; for his own part, he did not think that the question would be more favourably met by the delay. In conclosios, the Right lion. Gentleman implored the house not to sacrifice their consistency by an adoption of this partial not give op what be considered their duty to the Com mons of Englaal.—(Loud cheers from both sides of the house.) Mr. WILMOT explained. The Marquess of LONDONDERNY, amidst loud calls for Mr. Canning, offered himself to the amino, of the House. He observed, that the principal objec tion to the Bill of his Right Hon. Friend seemed to be that a partial ms was then brought forwarst, whereas a general question was to be brought on in the course of a few months. He was of opinion that the objection ought to have no effect, and that opinion he could trace in the deliberations of the House, and what passed between individual and individual. He thought the general question would have a better chance of sec. rest by the passing of this portion of it, and by giving time to the public mind to settle itself to acquiesce in it. He believed delay more favourable to that general mea sure, and much better than to agitate it year after year. Bet that being his opinion as to the general question, lie was prepared still to give this partial measure his utmost support.—(Hear, hear.)—He would contend that the Constitution in Church and State, could not suffer by passing this Bill. With respect to securities, the want of which in that Bill afforded another handle lee objection, be always thought opOi 4osooloito is Ilse Catholics could with safety to *sit religion give, se ceasary. He held the saute opinion still on the question of securities, but he would modify them so as to suit the feelings of the Catholics. He did not, however, see' what securities could be required for the passing of the present Bill. Would an oath of Supremacy reconcile his Right lien. Friend (Mr. Peel) ? If it would, he be lieved no dilfsculty would lie in the way, fur very few Catholics of this day wool' object to tlsat.—(llesr, bear.) Ile believed the Catholics would go as far as any others iii upholding the Constitution. His Right lion. Friend (31r. Peel) objected to the measure on the around that the general measure Was not brought for ward. lint when the g r was brought fur -1 ward t when it passed that house, and was sent op to the lions. of Lords it did nut succeed. It was therefore but right to try how far a partial repeal of those dis ebbing laws would suit their Lordships' taste. Under all the circutiistances of the case he WAS ready to vote for the Bill of his Right lion. Friend. Mr. CANNING would regret if any thing which he staled in reply to his Right honourable Friend, the Se crerary for the Home Department, should have the ap pearance of personal application ; for as his lion. Friend had islet the question, at least with fairness ; be had no desire/ Seine towards him language which had even the shadow of impropriety; but wlsieb he assured the' honourable geetleuien who had declared theta/dyes in 111forlaitine to this measure, that he was actuated by no perSoo.ll motivetonarde them ;• he mast say, that from. _ —.movie* Illstigital44l4l4•P l i nt ist Nolo& beresal Ptigell/111VM ;V 'Wei 4141 ' sisseerelsi Sinseliaii bit mei va lusll4'lltaff ilibmissessid• Ilslgat omit einditisl tbgt 4bieWap.' fitea4ll boor evissiteh.fr OM Honor of They troild boar le and tbot , thet . whew gospothre gnat line& 11.4, a pdo kiN g 10 .. 4 .14, ' y ip pee of e a forte la Me; Vow, thins great maw had reateil the c pars d-his asigeseet spoil the pia, that the Ca theile *dist hail mss the hostourahle sakes of the army apse M MA, but Wu degraded sod enslaved.

He did net object to the Catholics giving sororities, sad to ouch se- , entitle, ha did not suppose that they themselves would, object. He wished not to sophisticate any part of the matter, bet he wished to put the matter in a plain and simple manner. The little that he proposed to do was complained of, but the Congress of Vienna had by a single stroke of the pen put an end to political conten-, bodes the ground of •roligions differences. In two' veers after they had failed to persuade the house of Lords to agree with them be their view of the Catholic Question, the Crown of England had sanctioned an agr rangement of equal privilege with reap, cc to Catholics, which extended its infleeoce over 30 millions of people. the Crown of Hanover was Included In Ole, iodise was eredlisly Informed, that the President of the Chamber of' ' Hanover woe sow a Catholic.

Prom the time of the Reformation down to that of Charles the Secon4, there was a struggle be tween the two contending religions; and from Charles the Second down to the Revolution, the dread of Popish telecoms sod a Popish succession; but was there any dan ger at the pennant moment analogous to these 1 Our SUMS ton were ak : . quoted, but misrepresented, when their au thority was a led to In favour of the continuance of th e se laws.

In admitting the Catholics access to the King s person, they bad done enough to shew that there was so danger, but not enough to shew that they were willing to make atonement. The honourable gentleman con cluded an Aroma speech, which we regret that our limits havererented us from giving at length, by ob serving, that if the house should refuse to accede to the usotioo, they would be guilty of an actof arbitrary power, which, when they inflicted penalties upon the Catholics, they affected to proscribe—(hear, Lear !). --- The house then divided—Ayes 235—Noes 223—Majo rity in favour of Mr. Canning 's Bill. 12. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned at twelve o'clock.
