have been much move personally gratifying to me to agree with him than to di ff er on this most impoirmet occtsion ; but if I see much evil In acceding to the demands of the Roman Catholics, and vast!! leas in adhering to the laws and constitution as at meant established, I persuade myself that I shall not, in consequeuce of that, forfeit his esteem and friendship for standing forward in the honest and card d expression of my conviction. Before I notice the other points to which I deem it necessary to advert, I shall previously notice the conversion of some Honourable Members. on which so much stress had been laid. When ray Hon. Friend the Member for Armagh announced that he had changed his mind. I heard him with as perfect a conviction of his sincerity as could possibly be entertained : end I trust that he wilt give me credit for equal sincerity in adhering to my o r i g i na l opinions as I give hint in his Monition of sentiment. The course of my opposition to this measure will. I trust, be considered throughout as a moderate opposition, and free from any rancorous feeling whatever. I sin far from relying upon the petitions that have been presented against the claims of Roman Catholics, as presenting a bar to the present measure. For my own part, I lave never said or done any thing to encourage the presentation of these petitions ; and if they had been ten time, as numerous I would still remain of the same opinion. I certainly admit, with my Right Hon. Friend, that these petitions shew nothing more than the general dissatisfaction which the passing of the Bill weild be likely to create. The conversion of his Right Hon. Friend clearly 'hewed that he hitherto conceded to the Roman Catholics on grounds quite different from those on which I had proceeded. He had learned from the evidence of Dr. Doyle, that the R ,man Catholic Religion no longer held the doctrine, that the Pope had power to dispossess Monarchs of thrones, that faith was not to be kept with heretics, and that the See of Rome did not es. Oreille temporal authority in other State's All this was well knew i Vetter answers to thin effect had been given to the queries of Mr. Pet, addressed to the Universities on this subject. But my Right lion. Frilled had said, that things could not go on as they were, aitd that fur that Marion he would rote for d • present Bill, at the some time distinctly threatening that if the Hills for difmnchising ferty.shilling freeholders, and providing for the Roman Catholic Clergy should be thrown oat, he would, by every means in his power, oppose the third reaeing of the present Bill. He would thus take every opportunity of keeping things as they are, though he says that they cannot remain so. I conceive, that as to these ac companying Bills I act a much more consistent pan in opposing the second reading of the present Bill, than in any other course which I could possibly take. My Honourable Friend says, that the petitions which have been presented are t.tunded on an erroneous impression, in praying that the Roman Catholics see placed upon the same favourable footing with the diosenters,but such petitioners should be forgiven if it appeared that b_y any means they could have access to the speech of his Right flon.Friend the A ttorcey-lieneral for Ireland, who claimed for the Roman Catholics the abstract right of equality with Protestants in political privileges. Thia, I confess, spears a sufficient vindication. I shall next notice the vetiticns Isom the Clergy of the Established Church. It was ob. jeeted to these, that they entered into theological disquisitions, and that they referred to the doctrine, discipline, and government of the Church of England. What do you find in those Articles of the Church of England which the Clergy, whose petitions are thts taken exception against, arc required to subunit. to, but strong and lengthened protests aminet that system of religion which the sup. porters ofthe present Bill arc wil:ing partially to establish in it eland? The Articles of the Church of England positively denounce image worship. confession, transubstantiation. and various other doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, as idolatrous, and not sanctioned by Scripture. They further declare !hat the Pope of Rome has no jurisdiction ; and when you tell the Protestant Clergymen of the Church of England, that in the preamble to this Bill for admitting the Roman Catholic into the full participation of all the priviiegea of the State, the e ie , trinert of the Established Church are not injured cr denniorattd, is there nor, I ask, cause for their approaching this House with a theological discussion, in the issue of which they arc so nearly interested? Is it not imperative on them to come forward and chew their belief in those doctrines of their own Chuch, anal the unfoonded nature those other doctrines by maintaining the fallacy of which they hold their own existence a-d place in our establishment P lam cipially surprised with my Hon. Friend at two of the clauses contained in the preamble to this Rill; I mean those for the maintenance of the Protestant succes sion, and the support of the Protestant Church, as by law esta blished. IVity, indeed, have those clause+ been introduced in the preamble, when, in the remaining part of the Bill, three are ern belied no enacting clauses coneeporaling with Ahem ? In the Bill ituroduced into ;his House tome some years back, by the late 31r. Grattan. for the admission of Roman Catholics to employments in the civil and military cemblishment, such pm:ening clauses did exist in the preamble, and were followed up ' 9 , other provisions and positive enactments, bearing a strict relation to them in the body of the Bill. VOll omit those clauses In the enactments of the present Bill, and wisely have you done so, because the provi,ieits or clauses of that nature, however they might appear, could really tend to the maintenance of our Protestant Church, and suc cession to the gown, as provided by the Bill cf Rights.— I say, Sir, this was well done; but I recur to the clauses in the preamble, and I am prepared to soy, that tto ap- parert anxiety to suptort the Church and Crown, as esti. establishes' in these realms, that care and anxiety mend'. sted in the preamble of the Eill, but not 'supported or sustained by any posi. tire enactment in the Bill itself, does excite a doubt that all is not sound, but that there existed even in the minds of the 110 ourable blend:ere who framed it a suspicion for the safety of the Church and State. I repeat, Sir, this very care begets a lurking suspicion for the wereheing an 1 integrity of our present establishments. It is in all our recollections, Sir, that when Macbeth meets the assets'. bled peers of Scotland as his guests at the banquet at the very mo mint that he has been plotting his distruction, and has reason to believe his machinations have taken effect upon his victim—at that rely time it is that the tyrant and murderer expresses a great and overstrained anxiety for the presence of Banquo. His very solici tude on that occesuon would have struck a close observer as suspi cious. Accordingly, it has been remarked by the commentators, that nothing can be a more masterly and poweiful evidence of his euilr—nothing could 'hew a greater consciousness of criminality ttan this over anxiety for Banquo's safe return. When the news arrived of the fatal death of the murdered thane, nothing could excite a greater or stronger suspicion than the previous actions of lifecbeth. H is conduct had at the moment mused fears for the safety of Banquet In like manner, Sir, I would say, that this over regard tor the safety and pro:ection of the Protestant succession and Chum' , not followed up by any protecting clause, seems to me something like the over anxie y of Macbeth for the safety of Banquo. It conveys to my tnind die apprehension that all is not right, and that there is come well-grminded reason for fear at the bottom. But, Sir, say my opponents, the succession to the drone is established permanently and inviolably, by provisions already made. Sir, I deny this, that is if the Acts under which its integrity is secured, are altered by the law now sought to be introduces*. the Bell cf rights provide. the Oath of Supremacy to be taken by all persons previous to accepting races in the State. That oath is for tfe maintenance of the succession, as established, and denies all jinielicUen, mini:l...deal or temporal within the realm, other t 1 an that of the reigning Monarch. There is also, Sir, the decima tion against trenaubsteutiation ; but that stands upon d:Terent , grounds. But, Sir, tithe succession is established on a permanent and inviolate basis, and this House is prepared to clter the Acts and the Oaths necessary to qualify for the enjoyment of office under the Crown, what need exists for securities, and why notice the matter? The friends of Emancipation are not disposed to deny (who is ?) theimponance of maintaining the Protestant suc cession to time Crown. It is the only office, with the exception of two, which requires the holder to be a Protestant. But, Sir, a else might arise where a Prince should take the declaration against trensut•ateti tion, and be, at the period of his accession, in corn. niunien with the Church of England. Suppose, then, all the seen ity of Peitestent advisers and conneillom at an end, and what may not follow ? flow did James 11. try to effect his purpose ? Whet gay the Bill of Rights? Was it not by 'livers evil coon. ministers, and judg's, that he attempted to subvert the re ligion, laws, and government of the realm ? Pass this Bill. and you leave the Prince at liberty to make his selection of advisers teen the number of Isis Roman Catholic subjects. What may not be the effect of that ? Certainly lam disposed to allow great im. Tertence to the it c.m.nce of toe personal character of the King. fee Lase King exorcised nn influence of that kind. (Bear.) But it a Prince were to fill the throne, who, after taking the oaths to mainfain the Protestant Church as by law established among us, should find, or suppose he found, an error in his termer heliet, and considering the ancient religion of his ancestors right, adhere to it, enJ throw otT the yoke of the Protestant faith, what would we then say ? If I advert to the liberal principles broached this night, s'•a se, that ro man is responsible for his religious creed, and should tot be disqualified for office on account of his belief, and thou:a be permitted to change his religion as he thotight tit, and on conviction, what is the deduction to be drawn from all this ? I say, Sir, it' the King and Queen of this country, etter their ACC , 11.1.03 to the throne. became mitres to the Roman Catiedie faith, the peace of the State rests upon the an of two individuals. To expel the Prince from the throne. because on reconsidering his principles he had thoupt fit to change his religious belief, would produce a convulsion In this country. (Hear.) It chef produce that effect in the enseolJamete 11. end it led to the necessity of securities in the reign of Charles 11. at 7, if you break down the harriers, which prevent the access '1 Roman Catholic advisers to the throne, you will render such an evont infhtitely more probable. Let me not be told those are va.olley views. I admit they are speculative, but when we are ahoet to pans laws subversive of the fundamental principles of the coneitotion, we must speculate on the consequences. The lion. and !initial Member for Plympton (3lr. North) had said, we should not misfit a telescope to view the clouds, while we over booked . the dangers a t o ur f ee t. I agree i n t h at se ntim e nt, b u t niala tam the ner teed yof [regarding preepective dangers. And, S:r, 1 / 1 00 1s1 we veil wee ft cloud no bigger than our hand, we tie bund , if we set alien the principle s of sound policy and neces ,ery mum. to p.avide against the reining storm, tee it has over. ` llll diteted the finnament and buret upoe our heads.

I 110 nor WWI, Sir, to t I , E. , en exsinteat inn of all the claims of this Bill:; but I have Lt,% nee..seetly pressed on the sat ject of toy apprehensions, that I wish to say a few words upon the subject. The case now to be decided is entirely different from what it would be under a hew government. Whether or not there should be a church esta blishment connected with the State might then be a question to be decided by the form of goverment existing, but with us there can arise no such gaestien. A monarchrial governmer; required a church! in connexion with the State; a republican cue might dis. Pena: with it, as the case of America, We found the Church of lhoete one in a state of power, and arguing the q u e st i on I, priori. I should sa y t h e members of that Church must view the Protestant Establishment with natural jealousy, and in. such light an to render them unfit to legislate fur its interests. It ir, Sir, in my opinion, safer to exclude the Catholic from power and place than to call upon him to take a long oath by way of se. entity. It is on that priuriplc we have disqualified Revenue Of ficere and Clergymen from sitting in this !louse, because they were under an undue influence. (Hear) Recollection of events and history must have their effects on the mind ; and when I see such men as Mr. Charles Butler retaining undue prrjudlaes. I cannot think it safe to admit the Roman Catholics into State offices. The name of Dr. Doyle has been connected with this discussion, and I do not well know how to reconcile his evidence before the Committee on the State of Ireland with his previous writing.. If Protestants feel alarmed by the Doctor's publications, it cannot be a matter of surprise that they utter sentiments of alarm. lam told, indeed, of religious animosities in Ireland, and that the measure in question will remove them. But the Hon. Gent. opposite (Mr. Brougham) has told the House on a former evening, that the more religious estab_ lishments approximate, the more bitter is their hatred. (Hear.) He has further, Sir, informed us of the miseries and contentions gerdered by the difference of a single kter. and the blood spilt on account of the distinction between Homoiousian and flemoou sian. The House and the Honourable and Learned Gentleman may rely upon it, that if they superadd to the religious animosities already existing between Protestant and Catholic, the additional es. citement of rival Chinch Establishments, the hatred will be abund. antly augmet teal. Dr. Doyle, after many other observations, asserts, that the Roman Catholics are merely ' , offered to exist as religionists. He goes on to say, that the Catholics give their sweat and toil to those who forge their chains, that they offer their hay and corn at an altar which they deem profane (cries of hear, hear, hear) : these are the words of Doctor Doyle—that they still are obliged to support their former parish Chapel, which stands as a monument of the right of conquest, and of the power of law over equity and piddle good (hear, hear). Further in this book we find that Dr Doyle, eider enumerating the manifold and grievous heart-rending evils to which the Catholics are subjected, says the Church Establishment is the greatest of all : the Catholics, he says, are obliged to ray tithes and church rates to that Church, which, a ith a whip like a scorpion's tail. drew their blood, and bad to contribute the bread of their l'amishitig children to the mason and his rapacious followers (hear, hear.) They haste to buy bread and! wines for the Citurch, to pay the sexton and parish clerk, be tween whom finally their very clothes are divided (a laugh), so that the) cam ;lies cast lots for their garments. I shall, Sir, not pursue the opinions or the assertions of Dr. Doyle farther, but apply myself more immediately to the question before the House. I hope, Sir, I shall be excused for stating objections which I con. acientioualy entertain, and which are the result of mature consi deration. I shall come at once to the preanible of the Bill, and state my reasons for believing the Church Establishment in danger. This is my conviction, though my Honourable Friend the Member for Armagh (Mr. Brownlow) thinks otherwise. I war not with the Catholic religion farther than it affects our Constitution. I am peratuuled of its illiberality, and while such is my con viction, I shall ever oppose its incorporation with the State. (Hear.) It is not their tioctrne of transubstantiation, as a religious tenet, that I object to. My Ri g ht Hon. Friend (Mr. Canning) says, we have others such as consubstantiation ; but, Sir, we are not now legislating about one or the other, nor do we adopt the disclaimer of that doctrine as a qualification for admission into of. lice from any objection to it in a religious point of view. We merely call on the Catholics to disclaim the doctrine, as the bast means we have o'aecertaining their religious feeling; if any other means equally efficacious could be hit on, I, for ono, have no ob.. *don to adopt it. If it weee possible that we could ascertain the fact by simply—are you a Catholic, or are you not ? I would vote for he adoption ; but, Sir—and I will speak it openly—there are doctrines of the Catholic Church which, in my mind at least, hare a disqualifying effect. There are, I say, doctrines of that Church which influence the temporal acts of its members. (Hear, hear.) I am free to admit that, in the progress of enlightenment, the Catholics as well as others have improved. I am free to admit that the Catholics have, in common with Protestants, become more li. beral in their views, and lust many of their prejudices in that change. (Hear, hear.) Still these doctrines remain. I take them not from books, hut as they were admitted before the Committee b their Bishops and others. And first, without going further, I think that a sufficient reason for not admitting them to a participation in the State is their doctrine of confession. (Hear, hear.) 1 feel, Sir, great regret, that there should exist, among any class of men, a doctrine to astounding, as that if an individual inform another of his ietcn ion to commit a murder, the person so informed dare not warn the man to be murdered f his danger. (Hear, hear ) I also admit. Sir, that there are doctrines of the Church perhaps liable to objectien for their spirit of exclusion. I acknowledge the force of what my Right Hon. Friend (31r. Canning) says of the Creed of St. Athanasins, though I must declare that my Right Hon. Friend used no small degree of sophistry in the line of argu. talent he adopted: but, Sir, I ask him, what in the practice in the Protestant Church ? hew is it acted on ? (hear, hear). We have also our doctrine of Absolution. Is not the practice in the two Churches, however, widely different? J dread, Sit, the con struction which the illiterate peasantry put on the doctrine of Absolution, particularly when they are not allowed to to look into those Scriptures which expose its fallacy (cheers); thin comes the doctrine of Indulgences, and the influence it must have on the practical conduct of men. For my own rsrt I don't under_ staid it, nor has the evidence of Dr. Doyle satisfied me on the sub ject. He says, that now iedolgences cannot be granted for more then seven scars: but whether for seven veers or forty days, the doctrine was equally unintelligible. Many Honottrable Mem bers have said, that granting to the Catholics emancipation will have the effect of quieting all animosities, and putting nn end to controversial acrimony. Sir, I think that measure, by nesting a rivalry, would have the effect of exciting religious animosities, which we have hitherto mainly avoided by giving to one a presi dency ever the other. I sin asked, Sir, what are we now to do ? ' Can we remain as we are, or are we to re-enact the penal code? I say decidedly not. I have, Sir, as great a disposition to listen to the just complaints of the Catl:olics—whenever I hear a complaint as to the administration of justice, I was and will always be ready to remove it. I believe I may appeal to my past conduct if I have ever been favourable to any societies hostile to the esthetics. It was because I felt so, that I differed from the Member for Armagh, (Mr. Brownlow) when he stated he was tat Orangeman. I always lamented the existence of such Associations. Their existence wes cited as a proof of the necessity of granting Catholic Emancipation. One ground of asking for it was removed. The Catholics, Sir, will not be satisfied with what they now ink :--grant but these, and future concessions must follow. Great dissatisfaction has been ex cited amongst the Catholics by the rejection of the present measure, or rather of measures of a similar tendency et former periods. 1, Sir, ant not accountable for the feeling I never encouraged ; hopes which I felt could not be realized. I ant convinced the greatest portion of that discontent results from the disappointment of hopes excited—excited too in a great degree, I ant persuaded, by the debates in this !louse. The Cathodic question, Sir, has always been used as the weapon against alinietere ; it was treated as a party question, and the discussions on it conducted in a manner calculated to do much harm. (Hear, hear.) I fear, Sir, I have trespassed too lung on the patience of the )louse, bttt I feel I would not be discharging my duty if I did not make one remark as to the history of chit, question for the last ten yerrs, and 11101%; particularly as to the securities offered on the ant of the Catholics. The first is the veto; and where is the Protestant siste that has not adopted some such precaution on the appointment of the minietees of the Catholic religion ? ll'hat say the Cade hes to this--" You dissent from us in religion; shall we commit td-, our management what you are so much incanted in subverting." To return to the subject of securities, when in 1021 his Right lion. and Learned Friend brought in his Relief Bin, with such securities, as lie thought indis. pensible; now we found all done away with, they are growing— " Small by degree', and beautifully less." (A laugh.) Now they are below zero., (laughter,) hut. Sir, I ob ject to these securities ; I would prefer passing the Bill at once on the principle cf confidence to retaining these futile se:artifice. What, Sir. are the duties of this perpetual Commission ?—one is to advise the Crown ; and here let me remark, that the Crown has no discretion ; it must appoint them whether it wishes it or no ; then these Conanissioners are to certify of the loyalty of those persons ap pointed to Bishopricain !retold. eChat is meant by the word loyalty The conetraction put unit by DaDoyle, is that every man should be deemed loyel until convicted before a competent tribunal. Another duty is to watch over the correspondence with foreign States; thet correspoadence is already placed under severe restrictions. though not put into force. I mean not to advocate their revival, but 1 cannot lout feel that the proposed precaution in a mere mockery. although nay Hight lion. Friei:d might, and has, as the law now startle, incurred the penalties of a prrrnunire, and subiected him. self to the punishment awarded by several Acts of Parliement. But when we have so litany formal objections seleaoced at the pre sent tilTle, it is proper that my Right lion. Friend should know that the correspondence he has carried on is solely by connivance : and that he, and all those who maintain these comniumicatior it in Eng land, are violating the ex ;lass provisions of an Act of Parliament. I wish now, Sir, before 1 sit down—although I am sensible I have already occupied the tim • of the House much too long —to say something upon the subject of the other nwa sure which has born mentioned as likely to form a secu rity to those who might otherwise be disposed to oppose this Bill. Sir, I do cot deny that they are very plausible projects, and I hope I may not be conceived to approach the consideration of it with. out being fully sensible of its vast importance, or that I have any intention of naming nay observations against it into an op. po s ition to the Bill now before us, by any of those artifices a hich Mr, l'itt would have called efforts of einieter dexterity. If I con sider, upon examiration, the aleasures good in themselves, I will support tht m. without reference to any thir,g cennected with them. Bia, Sir, while I adroit that, the have relating to alt. freeholds has given roc to great abuses—while 1 am ready to allow that it has produced perjury—that it fins a tendency to mete perjuries, and that it is a great source of corrop:ion. 'Vet I must own, front the present mete of freeholds both here end in Ireland, that I have very great objections to any measure which would go to deprive a &ma fide 40s. freeholder of his constitutional privilege_a pri v il ege which, be it rentembitretl, is the only political one which descends I to the lowest classes of the people, and which, therefore, should he regarded w: , h the greatest delicacy. But even granting that this ' could be don- without injustice, which I do not, still I am by no means satisfied that raising the qualification, if it is not to be dole, as I art infornce, until the rhele present raw be exticct, THE BRITiSH PRESS. will be moductive of the benefit which its supporters anticipate. I do not mean the moral benefit, but that Protestant interest which this Bill professes to increase. Considering, then, the great addition of prosperity which we are told .this measure would give to Ire land, and looking at the great msjorlty of the people as Catholics, I am not quite sure that in somewhat less than twenty years the whole property of the country would not be in the bands of the Catholics. lam not singular in this np:niqn: an evidence of some weight upon this question—l nean Mr. O'Conrell--has stated it as his opinion, that the distranchieernent of the forty-shilling free holders would add considerably to the Catholic interest and power. qty Honourable Friend considers that this will be a sareguard to t:.e Protestant interests: but he ftwgets that the same privilege may be still managed under a different tenure—that it may be attached to the possession of a house, and still retain the tenant in the name state of bondage and the country its the - same condklon of paupe rism. Unlots, therefore, you ate satisfied that the measure will pros duce all the good elects you hope, I say ! should have very serious doubts of the propriety of the change. I do not however commit myself by en opinion. I will giVe the measures separately my best attention when they come before me, independent of any other question with which .they may.he connected. I will .now state shortly my opposition to this Bill, confident that I have already he-massive( much longer than I ought upon the time and patience of the Horse. As I object to the paying of the Catholic mieisters from the funds of the State, and as I-am by no meant' convinced of the propriety of disfranchising theforty-shilling freeholders as se curities offered for the Pill, aml as I consider the securities WTI. tamed in the body of the Bill wholly illusive, I must still hold m minions that the Catholics should be excluded from cert a in hi g h offices in the State—that they should be excluded from. the Houses of l'arliamenu—and that the Protestant Constitution of th- country, in Church and State, should still remain paramount rn I inviolable. And I must confess, Sr, while! consider the con duct which trevails in a- Protestant House now sitting. and dat iieg upon the propriety of admitting their Catholic brethren into ,t is pinion of ;h •:r constitutional advantaga.—l mean, Sir,.this Loose of Commons—and when I ectitrast that conduct with the pr c.o tinge of a Catholic !louse in A neighbouring kingdom, con stituted nearly alike to this one, end now delibenating upen the propriety of punishing the crime of sacrilege with death—the crime of questioning. I believe, ohne rights and oblervances of the Catholic Church—l cannot, Sir, I confess, avoid say•ng that the Protestant principles, as they have been hitherto maintained in this House. arc the only real securities for civil and religious liberty. The Pion. Gentleman sat down amidst loud cheers from both sides of the House. Alr. BROUGHAM rose. amidst cries of " Question." After the powerful and unanswerable speech of the Secretary for Foreign Affairs—a speech which seemed, indeed, to anticipate all that had been advanced by the Secretary for the Home Department--that he would not be guilty of any attempt to force himself upon the attention of the Nouse ; but for the protection of himself, and numbers of those around him, he thought it necessary to say a fee*, words upon those measures. which had more than once been mixed up with this question in the course of the debate. He would say, then, that this Bill, whatever had been said to the contrary, with all its security, stood upon its ground, and totally independent of any other Bills, securities, or alleged securities, with which it had been said to be connected. On that plain principle of the right, justice- and expediency of Catholic Emancipation, he supported it. As to the n:her Bills. he conlessed that they presented to hint a very great difficulty, a difficulty not a little increased by the different opinions he heard upon the subject of them, from all those connected with Irish affairs of whom he sought information. The Ecclesiastics were invariably favourable to the Civil Bill, slide they expressed great dolling of the Ecclesiastic—while the civi lians were favourable to the Ecclesiastic measure, they con. condemned the Civil. This s:range difference war, in his mind, a satisfactory reason for pausing before he came to a conclusion upon these important measures. Whenever they did come before him, he promised to bring to them as much impartiality as if they had been wholly unconoec•ed with any previous question. One of his great ch.iections to one of the measures was his indisp.s. eition to interfere with a great Constitutional privilege; the other was the tendency to increase the power of the Crown ; for he could not deliver his mind from the answer of an Hon. Friend, when he said psy the Irish Clergy, and you have a Gosernment officer in every parish. The lion. Gentleman, after some other observa. tions, concluded by expressing his satisfaction, that upon this, pro. b ,by the last occasion, when they would have an opportunity to do an act of grace to the Catholics, they would carry the question with such a triumphant makrity as would produce an effect spun that House where alone it bad been hitherto rejected. Mr. TRA Nl' rose amidst great tumult and cries of " Question." The lion. Gentleman seemed to be reading front a book, but after some violent gesticulatio n. and several attempts to raise his voice above the clamour for a division, he was compelled to give way. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the Gallery was cleared fora division— For the Secohd 'leading of the Bill - . 268 Against it - . .

LONDON, FRIDAY, Anti'. 92, 1991. • The Paris Paperi of Tuesday contain not an arti:le of the least interest to the English reader. On Monday evening the President of the Chamber of Deputies pre sented the Law of Sacrilege to the KING, as approved by that body. Prince MErvaaxten was expected to leave Paris on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning, on his way to embark at Marseilles. By the Constitutionael, it appears that attempts are making, under every pretence, to disponess the holders of national property. - On Monday M. us SI-. GEORGES resd the Report of the Commission respecting the law for the regulation of the accounts of Ins. The principal part of this Report related to the scandalous proceedings of H. OUVIIARD, the notorious Commissary-General of the • DAUPHIN'S Spanish campaign. The conduct of Onvaaan and his ac complices is exposed and censure.' in the strongest terms, but the Report was decidedly adverse to any interferencu by the Chamber to bring the peculators to justice. Such of them as the existing laws will reach are to be punished by the ordinary tribunals; and such as have contrived to elude the law are to be condemed to the torture of en joying their ill-gotten gains! It is in this very language that Report gravely recommends the Chamber to adopt the prciese law, avoid ell inquiry, and leave the delin quents to suffer the penalty of MIDAS. So abs3lute a burlesque on the forms of Representative Government has not as yet been exhibited before. Loud expressions of in dignation and astonishment burst forthbn hearing this Re port. General Fot exclaimed that the peculators would gladly agree to the recommendation of tht Report, and M. nr CA IR BON rushed to the tribune to address the Chan - ber, but the PRESIDENT prevented him from speaking, on a point of order. [Prom the Eloik, da:ed Wednesday.] PARIS, APRIL 19. U - c learn from Naples, that'the Prince of Salerno, and his august consort, daughter of the Emperor of Austria, were to set out on the 9th for Milan. The suite of their Royal Ilighnesaes consist of twelve carriages ; they were exreeted at Prime on the 11th. The King and Queen of the Iwo Sicilies, with one of the young Princes, their sons, the Count D'Aguila, had fixed their departure from Naples for the II th of this month, and their arrival ar Rome for the 13th. The august travellers will continue their journey by way of Florence. [From the Constitutionnel of Tueeday.l PARIS, APRIL 18. An estate in the deprirement of the Gironde, which was corific cated as belonging to 31. Simeon Leris, a deported Priest, was sold on 14th Germinal, in the year 3, to M. Azeredo. M. S. Leris re turned to France and resided at Bordeaux, where he died in De cember last. He made no representations after his return to com plain of the sale of the estate. Scarcely has he dosed his eyes when his nephew and son. M. Leris, Judge in the Tribunal of the First Instance at Bordeaux, applies to the Prefect of the Gironde, desiring to have the eats declared null as illegaL This magistrate pretends that his uncle, before dying, expressly conjured him to make his demand, which he supports on this pound, among others, that the sale was made to the prejudice of Simon been, not of Simeon Leda, whence, says he, there is, in the proces verbal of the sale a misnomer, and consequently a radical defect.

The adjourned debate on the Roman Catholic Relief Bill was resumed last night, and continued with great animation till three o'clock this morning, when the House became too impatirnt to suffer the debate to be fur ther prolonged, and the division was called for. The numbers were-268 for the second reading of the Bill, l and 241 against it. By a majority of 27, the principle of this important measure has been sanctioned by the Lower House of Parliament. It yet remains to be seen whether the Upper House will concur with this decision. The ma jority is certainly less than was expected; and as the suc cess of the Bill in the House of Lords was understood to depend much cn the numbers of the majority by which it might be passed in the Commons, the division of this morning leaves the question still in considerable doubt. The debate last night was opened by Mr. Got - Lsuale, in opposition to the Bill. On the same side, Mr. WALLACE spoke, and Mr. Secretary Prat. The measure was sup ported by Lord BINNING, Mr. PokTM•N, Mr. Secretary CANNING, and Mr. BHOUGH•H. Mr. LITTLETON postponed till this evening his motion for leave to bring in a Bill for the disfranchisement of the Irish Forty-shilling Freeholders. CITY, THVISDLY Evrxixo. In the Money Market this morning there was considerable languor. Consols, however, maintained yesterday's priers, viz.- 92];. The Foreign Market continues without variation, with the ex ception of Greek Scrip, which was a good deal better, being done at 434 discount. Danish Scrip we may also quote a shade higher, viz.-3 24 discount. The South American Securities were stationary, Colombian Bonds 894 90, and Mexican Scrip was Brazilian Scrip was 2to 24. The Spanish Bonds were steady a t yesterday's prices ; the Old at 234 4, and those of 1823 at 184 19. In the Share Market some business was done in the United Pa cific Association. the shares of which were a good deal sought after this morning at 1 premium. There has been an unexpected rise in Flate Glass Shares from 2to 9 premium. They lat off at 7. The West India Company made its appearance this morning; but the state of the market was unfavourable to it, alth ~g h no one can doubt of its ultimate advantage to the interests of those colonies. The shares were at par to 4 premium. There were no transactions to-day in Sugar ; the prices of coffee were somewhat firmer. The Duchess of Gloucester. the Princess Augusta, and the Princess Sophia, visited the King yesterday. The Duchess of Gloucester and the Princess Sophia paid visits to the Princess Augusta yesterday. Yesterday evening, at halt-past seven o'clock. Prince Leopold, attended by Sir Henry Seton, arrived at Marlbo rough House, Pall-mall, from Dover, at which place his Royal Highness landed on his returning from the Conti nent. The Earl of Liverpool gave a grand dinner on Wednes day, at his residence at Whitehall, to the Cabinet Ministers. Yesterday Viscount Sidmouth and Sir Charles Long had audiences of his Majesty. Mr. Secretary Canning was slightly indisposed yesterday at Woucester Lodge. Ths subscription for Mr. Iluskisson's plate now amounts to 1,830/. At the Levee, on Wednesday, S. Choke, claimant of the Barony of Safford, presented to his Majesty a petition fur a writ of summons to Parliament. Mr. Kean has been fulfilling his engagements at Man chester. On his appearance there last Monday evening in lliehard Me Third, some expressions of disapprobation were shown by a part of the audience, who were very soon overpowered by Mr. Kean's admirers, and he went through the character with great applause. After the play Mr. Ki an being called for by the audience, came forward; he noticed the opposition he had met with, to which his friends replied—" No, no." Mr. Kean thanked them for their approbation and kindness, and made his bow —On Tuesday he played Sir Giles Overreach, and on Wednes day Othello, to crowded Louses. It was expect 'd he would extend his engagement to Thursday, and take his leave of his Manchester friends in the character of Shykek. nun su an 14 Tit aar ar.—On Saturday night Mr. Liston terminated his engagement. The house was crowded in every part with a fashionable audience. We understand that Mr. Kean has resigned his engagement here, in con sequence of a letter addressed to him by Mr. Murray, so that all farther controversy on this subject will be termi nated.—Cateiloniiia PASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

Si do assure you that it is with extrerac reluctance I veuturs again to obtrude myself. or my affairs, upon the notice of the public. and, hut for the . pler' : ;e which Mr. Carter (my Solicitor) in his na tural zeal for my interest.:. thought it expedient to give in my name, that a satisfactory answer should be published to Mr. Gill's extraordi nary statement with revect to Miss Foote and myself, I should not hare taken the liberty of addressing you—not that Mr. Gill's statement was rot intended to give me pain, and to expose me to ridicule, but that I considered the conduct of Mr. C; ill himself, added to the improbability of his assertions, afforded the best re futation of the calumnies to which he has endeavoured to give cur rency ; and even row, Sir, feeling as I do, how little interest your readers can have in a matter perfectly of a private nature. I shall be as short as possible. To this course lam the more inclined, as it is far from my disposition, unless forced by circumstances, to enter into details which might prove prejudicial to the future in_ tertAtt of Miss Foote, or to the charecter of her immediate friends or advisers. How far the power of furnishing such details exist, the persons to whom I allude are the best judges. The points to which I shall at present confine myself are those mentioned in Mr. Gill's letter. Mr. (Jill states, " that the reconciliation between Miss Foote and myself wu sought by me, and not by Miss Foote, and that he is in possession of my own hand-writing to prove the fut." It is singulsr, if Mr. OW possessed the document to which he alludes, that the same delicacy which induced him to publish other knees of mine, did not induce Mtn to publish this; it would have been the best evidence of the truth of his assertion. No such document, however, does exist, and Mr. fill, and his employers, well know, that .f desired, I can fnmish theM with a letter, independent of the positive evidence of a friend, which would at ouce set all doubt on this head et rest. Mr. Gill nest states, "that Miss Foote had not the least pre. vious knowledge of the amount of the sum to be settled upoo her: taiL a year, he says, was suggested by s friend as a reason_ able provision, to which Mr. Rayne assented." This, so far as it goes, is correct ; but Mr. should have added, that Mr. Platt was the friend who made the suggestion. With regard to the assertion which follows, " that it was nesse stipulated I should settle 300!. per annum for life on Mrs. Foote, in the event of her out-living her daughter," I beg to say_ it ill false. That provision was made at the request of Miss Foots, under eircunistar.ces highly creditable to her feelings as a daughter and from her represent:l:ion., that if she died her mother could be left destitute, as her fatter had only his lisif.pay to depend upon. As to the statement of the nature of my property. that may ot may nut be correct; tut this is a subject little connected with the question at issue, and certainly of no importance to any person but myself. respect to the daft of the settlement, I certainly did waive its being laid before Air. Caner ; but this was at the entreaty of 31r. Gill, who said that gentleman woul I object, in all probability, to every clause, and allow nothing but etistales in the way of it, from his well-knuan disapprobation of the event to which it se. I am now come to that part of Mr. Gill's letter in which he describes the interview he had with me at the Colonial Club, in St. James's-strect, and asserts, that "I told him Mr, Carter hail mused me to be arrested, at the suit of three of my creditora." A more gross pet version of what actually occurred it is impossible to con ceive. I admit that I did tell Mr. Gill very candidly, that peculiar situatio:. in which I was placed, and this, as may na... turally be supposed, under the seal of confidence; but I deny most distinctly that I ever told him 1 bad been arrested by Mr. Carter, at the suit of the persons mentioned, nor did any such oc currer,ce ever take place. The object of Mr. Gill, however, na misrepresenting, or wilfully misunderstanding what took place, sufficiently obvious. There are other points in Mr. Gill's letter, Sir, with reference to the interviews between Miss Foote and myself, to which 1 purposely avoid referring, being anxious to bury in oblivion circumstances which must be alike painful to us both. In conclusion, I have or.ly to apologize for having at such length trespassed on your columns ; and to add, that if any further expla nations are deemed necessary, I am perfectly prepared to enter int. the fullest and most salisfastory details. I hart the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant. .1. HAY NE. April 20th. - e VISIT Or THE WIC•RDOT INDIRIK CHIRP'S TO THS LORD AlATOR.—Yesterday the four Canadian Indian Chiefs were introduced to the Lord Mayor by Mr. Irving Brock, brother a the late Sir Isaac Mock, alio fell at Canada. The visitors of his Lordid.ip were, the (hard Chief, the Second Chief, Lie Chief o_ the Councils, or Minister for Foreign Affairs (as the citizens called him. from his very statesmen-like appearaorr), and the Chief o. the Warriors, or Commander-in-Chief of the Huron 0: Wyardot Nation.

The visitors pnrtook of a very elegant collation. Their conduct at table wits marked by great politeness, and by mmarkable attentions to the ladies. After the cloth au • moved they sang several national songs of a most terrific chtracter, to thadiamay of the ladies and the astonishment of the ger.tlemen, and it ithdrawing from the table, they danced the war dance and gave the war-whoop with the full capability of their lung.. The chief of the war riors, who is 64 years of age, was remarkably active, and capered about in the most surpri s i n g manner. After they had thus inflamed his Lordship, and themselves, and the ladies, they were conducted tltcrgh the psintird ream io the Deux. - ~~
