• ft • Pretest's*. he shooid prop.** that iesie•d of readisir this Bill a weal time to-night, it be read this day three =oaths. ~~ Lord COLCHESTER begged lease to assure their Lordships with the most perfect sincerity, that theta was no seas living more disposed than be was to grant all that it was possible to grant to the Roman Catholics without eadaagenng the safety of the Constitution at the State. But be could not concur in a measure which delivered both keys of Parliament to the Catholics—a aseleare which it must be seen, however skilfully framed. would oily obtain a limited concession, in order that that conceseson should afterwards be brought to act In favour of ethers more general and unlimited. It was said that the law which excluded Catholic Peers from Parliament was originally founded on grostodless alarm; hat if that was the case it bad since stood en the basis of mead policy'. The system itself was antecedent to that saw. It had commenced under Queen Elizabeth 1 with the Corporation and Test Acts. The House of Camelia had thee excluded its owe Members. The Act of Charles 11. bad followed, then the Bill of Rights, sad by the Act of Union with ScoMed, by which it was settled that no others bat Protestant Peers should shies that Hosea at the distance of three reigns Par liameat bad confirmed the inclesim of the Catholics. Fresh conirmatioe had *natal at the Mania of the Haim of Hanover, and tie Act of George 11. had re rived and sanctioned ail that had been previously enact ed ea the subject. The Noble Duke, however, saw no grounds for coatieuleg those laws; he proposed to ra vise and repeal them. and recommended the present Bill as the first step towards so desirable a comer! maims. If their Lenhhips examined its salads, step by step, they would see the fall bearing of the masers. He had always been of opinion, that little shall be yielded to iseportanity. aid nothing to me nue; bet that every thing that cost safely be doors amid be demist She the Legislature a Its own views; and that beeisor isle se, it sheald them mike its nal • stand. He theighttiat Parliament sh f art * . earner of dilleisesests and boomers to Whelk as to Protailitat Diameters. He therefore rejoined ANS he saw Callhislies called upon to perform high Alm ki. wards RolWay_ at the late Coronado*, sod at the bye of honier - orred by his Majesty to &Catholic t assn to lorlasol. The arm and navy were alre a dy ooppeens to them, end he saw no objection to throw open all abeel retie to fortune said distinction. aid to equalize all Ca: thane is every part of the United Empire. He should be glad to see theremealve all marks of Royal favour ' reserving only them which belong to the Supreme Go. versant of the Rahn. Of religiose toleration too mach said sot be granted : he would wish to see more complete protection emended to their places of worship, and especially that Catholics should be relieved from the. pastal eternity of celebrating their marriages in oar churches, where tents were professed contrary to their owe. At eke same time be woald allow oleo processions in our streets, no monastic establishments, so Jesuits sealing Missionaries throtigh the lead, and he would add that the College of Jesuits at Stosyhurst called for the i Investigatioa of Parliament . As to the Catholic Clergy it mould be maim aid needless to deny their existence as a body. He therefore thought that his Majesty had been well advised. when in Ireland, to receive the ad draseesof theCatbolic Bishops audClergy,as belied dem those of other dissenters. Bet the recogaitioa of *sit. Clergy required new laws to be made. Let these be pro. perly framed, aid we should have no studios edocneed at Rome. so Vicars Apostolic, the mere inanimate of the Papal Coert. bat an EPisoopal Clergy, lade-, salt: dshiz pendent of foreign influence aid *My to the Crown. They have stroll proofs a their table, that restrictions trading to frame that effect, regulating the communications o the Oahe& clergy with the See of Rome existed in all amnia bet oar owe. For this purpose their Lordships wield be fader the necessity of re-casting the 13th of Eliesbeth. • Let the Catholics bold sobs of the Aces connected with the excise of the Supreme Authority, none is the Supreme Courts of Justice, no seat in the Royal Cassette, mom in. either House of Parliament. Our Protestant Rata blisbeasat most be maintained. or else attempts would soon be made to render it Catholic. For let us mot be deceived. The principles of the Catholics were in direct hostility to the - Protestant China aid Goveremeat, aid Le believed this because be believed in the sincerity with which they professed their religion. The Noble Earl then quoted the °pistons of the Catholic Church as ex pressed in Bessuet's great work, and contended that the same doctrines Lad been renewed is oar days. Their Lordships were told to take example by other States when a more liberal policy had been adopted towards the Catholics, and to be coevinced that their admission into the councils of the State would be attended with no danger. Bet so little were the views of the Catholic timed' altered, that the Pope had lately restored the Order of the Jesuits which had boa proscribed in all countries. and that protection had been refined to the tombs of Protestants within the walls of Rome, although it bad been demanded by Protestants of all miee'ries ra siding in that city. supported by the interference of their ambassadors, and even by the request of the pre sumptive heir to a Protestant throne. If it were said that the Catholic Governments of other Castries treat ed Protestants with less of mistrust than we did Catho lics, it mast be recollected that the mature of those Go vernorate, and their institution, made the religion of the persons whom they employed a matter of iodise enc.—Their case was not parallel to oar owl; far this country was the only on in which the peptise chareelise of the anstitetia could carry as individual to the &- realms of affairs mad the commits of his Sovereign. He must leek tomorrow as well as to the present day. The paucity of the Catholics was so security against their itterease. The Noble Lord thee reiterated his wish that the interests of Catholic families should be casaba in every practicable way, bat believing that their introdea tioa into both Houses of Puliameat would only trod ao, revive political hostilities, and beteg desirous that the character of our cstablisbroset should sot cease to be Lord ERSKINE rose to support the Bill. His Noble Friend said that be was not satisfied with the immuni ties which the Catholics enjoyed, mid that he was will. lag to enter ea a progressive system 'to Increase them, why sot then begi n with letting Catholic Peers bare their own? He had admitted that their eselusios formed no part of the original constitutiem of the coun try, and sutwithatasdieg the law which operated on the Comm..., they had continued to sit I. Parliament till the 13th of Charles H. or the supposed ezisteece of a Popish plot. Was there any sate who believed there *es say troth is the charges brought against Catholic Peers es that occasion? They had mot bees 'sundaed by the Commies, het rested only es the revelations off Titus Oates.. man who was abroad at the time when the pretended plot was to be eseested. Did Sevjeant Maynard, the principal manager for the House of Com mons. in the impeachment of Lord Stafford, venture to sty that the charges bad soy other foundation than the revelations of Titus Oates? No ; he especially said that they rested ea the testintoey of oily ene man, .tes. He represented the exposure as the act of God, not that of sae, is iadeciag Oates to make the dia. orrery. and wished that sheiks should be returned to God alone. It was not the act of Hod. but the insti. ;ratios of the Devil which had pruilicetl the revelations of Oates.

He . . admitted that great alarm bad prevailed at 'tie dolr, l and that those who bad convicted Lord Sanford bad acted hogoarahly, being led by the prejnolicos of the times to consider him guilty. But now were we in shelter cithumitabces? Were we in danger of a Popish Successor in the person of . the Duke of York? What had Parliament already done!' It bad repealed most of the Statute' twiddle Catholics; It had said that it was not necessary for them to take the Oath of Supremacy to enable them to bold situations in the Army or the Navy, to be Magistrates, Grand Jurors, Petty Jurors. ofices much more important than the filling of seats in Pailiament. The Act which forbid Catholic Peers to come into the King's presence without incurring heavy penalties, had been repealed in 1791, when it bad bees enacted that Peers professing the Catholic Religion; who should take the oath of aliegiance, should be to lieneffeest those penalties, and should be considered "as good sad loyal subjects." On what principle was the Oath of Supremacy retained after such a cower sion ? No man bad rejoiced more than he had sear his Majesty's visit to Ireland, hot the people of that cur try would showed that they could trust in the oaths which it had administered to them. Thinking, as he did, that Ca tholic Peers could not be justly excluded from- sillier in that House, he should vote for the snood reading of the Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that it. was how more tbao twenty yearn ago that he had felt much pain In withholding his assent front measures something like those now contemplated, for he contended that what ever die object asked for might be, that in view was nei ther more nor less than unlimited concession. He would tell their Lordships why he had felt pail. He bad then. he honour of being noticed by that great mom now gone (Ur.

Never had such nonagon and such trash bee. put 1 into an Act of Parliament as thit was. With rumen to' the object of the present Bill, how did it happen th at is all the dissensions which had taken place on the Catho lic claim's since 1799. so propooldes bad ever ban made to distlegnish the case of Cabello Peers from that of the Catholics in general, until it bad been nestiesed by a Noble Baron (Lord Grenville we baleen) for 'wham he recession, so much respect that if be doubted the soundness of his own opinion, it was Incase it differed from that of the Noble Baron. It was not for Mean as he was to use such !anionic but heirould say, as to personal feelings towards the.t;atholics, with a great Judge of former times, " I have found n it mite duty to es ter ter ions covenant with myself, thit aff teens, may not press on judinind." He d that their Lordships would mobile credit for the same 'oedemata. As A theAuestion itself, he bad a right to avail hien self of dicputhority of pr. Pitt, of thinfolde Bans, and even of the Hon. Detainees whit meal the asiketof the measure, to goateed that no one hat ithouto'ree.l tared to propose a Bill to estincipan the WIS.' out at the same time proposing seen iscsittlits. Irides said that there. was no dallier in a coaceselos like the present; but did their Lordships perceive that if they granted it, they put it out of their power to deliberate upon the general measure? When the BM had lint come into his hands, be thought he bad bees misled by some foolish fellow calling himself Printer to the Hoses of Casinos', who bad wrongly ',titled it a Bill to re peal the Act of Charles 11. for he could not bellows that the great Statesman to whom he should wish well in all parts of the world. and the able Lawyers by whose he bad been assisted, would have wished to repeal a BiU anterior to all the Statutes since passed, aid still is force against the Catholics. He had honk 'however, that some words bad been inserted to embrace the Act of King William and all other Acts, notwithstanding. No Mail could look at our history prior to the Reforma tion, without being satisfied that at some periods of our ancestors bad submitted in the most degradlea inhaler to the See of Rome, and at others bad coed/seta them selves as became the subjects of an Independent State. Till that event, the country had been plugged Is the misery belonging to the circumstance of set knowing exactly what was the Religios of the State. 1111 in ,e Lordships should decide in favour of the present Bill they would place back the country in theme's unsettled situation till another Revolution should come to decide whether the State should be Protestant or Catholic.— King William having said to Sergeant rilaysard, who `was the very old man " Why, you have outlived all the legislators of the land," that distinguished 'hidividnal replied, " Yes, and if you bad not come I should have outlived all its laws too." If his Noble Priesfiiehind him (the Duke of Portland) coed pentode their Lord ships to adopt his motion, as he looked healthy and seemed likely to live long. he might also endive the laws of the land.—(Laughter.)—The Noble aadtearned Lord then referred to die debasing Acts passed in the reign of (lege. Mary at the intercession of tie Pope's legate. by which the supremacy of the Pope bad bees restored la this cosatry. And here he would say, that besieged with Chief Justice Hales. that a Cathoric s aad a Protestant could net take the oath of-Mies:fence to: getber la the same sense, if they did sot also like that of supremacy, which bad been made to explain and pre vent the evasion of the former. Qsees Rlisabeth bad repealed the Acts passed by gone May. and fee a law period of years, the coestry had bees left to that alternate and uaseuled legislation width was, contrary to itsrepose aad happiness. The Itegeletion at last had come. • Good God! Could it be 'skillet the Cavendish's, the &whacks. the Somerset, were thee in such a terrible fright os account of the long past revolve limn of Titus Oates. whom it been customary to expose in the pillory about three times a year, that terror in duced them to re-enact all the provisions of the 13th of Charles 11. ? It was his opinion, that if Titus Oates had been born, not forgetting what the Russells and the Sydney' bad said as to popery, that similar coact meats would have been made. This opinion was strength ened by the measures taken by King William at the Re volution, by his signaler. of the Act of Settlement on his death-bed, by the provisions of the Act of Weep 11., which re-enacted the former is the very same words, and by what passed every year as to ludemnity Acts It seemed to be forgotten that there lad been such a reign as that ofJames 11. in our history. That King had. declared to Parliament that nothing wee nearer his heart than to take tare of the religion of the eiuntry. and yet from hour to hour and day to dye. he west or, violiting every law. and dispensing with that Act of Charles 11. which he had promised to observe, and its which he ought to have felt that lie was bound. H. would tenet no one with powers or privilege's which th. law did not allow. " Ile spake in the presence of hi. Royal Iliglantls the Duke of York, than whom no may STATESMAN, wardesrer to his country 6 but be would not trod him further than the law trusted him. It had been said that the Act of Birclusiontras passed in consequence of the misdeeds of Titus Oates. Hot his Infamous conduct had been exposed and established long before the revolu tion, and it mild sot, therefore, be his conduct but the principles upon which the revolution was effected, that induced its authors to were and perpetuate these laws. They felt a pressing and idable necessity for put ting it out of those persons, who hail involved the coon try in uneuinem and divisions during the time that elapsed between the Reformation and the Revolution, to renew their mischievous designs; and it was to accom plish that object that these measures were resorted to. He was quite prepared to admit that the legislation of today was not necessarily binding upon their Lordships tomorrow. Hot it was quite in conformity with the spirit of our legislation, that they should be tither warned or guided by preceding Acts. If they looked hack upon all those Acts which contributed to the builol big up of the fabric of our Constitution ' they would Rnol them to he declared Acts essential, and Acts fundamen tal, which should last tor ever; but in such measures as did sot come within that description, there was no such accompanying declaration. Well, Bon, let their Lord ships see what Kiog William stated upon the character of tbe laws they were now called upon to repeal. That Monarch said,that hi. object was, "to effect some per B anent ottlessent of the laws, religicin, and liberties of the country, which bad been attempted to be subverted, so that they might never be diverted again." Let them also see what bad been done by the Coavention, the chief movers and sopporters.of the Revolution. They went for the Prince of Orange, at a time when they were desperately afraid of Titus Oates. But whom they were afterwards relieved from that fear, what did they do / They found that by the steatites of Elisabeth, certain pe- Woes had been enacted...lolot the Catholics, and that by the Act of Charles the Seeend, they had loco con di-seed, with the additional ones of disqualifying Peers from sitting is Parliament. They then proceeded to re mote those disabilities. And that was sot all. They said that it wonid be an asernaly in a free State for the Commoners not to be allowed to choose their represents dos from all classes of men, unless there was a gear and total exclusion of any particular class from t Rees of the State. Accordingly they said, "if of Commons is to be Protestant—if the Hoses is to be Protestant—we must have a Protssiset Asa" It wits Is decimal assessarp to de religions liberties of the eaultri. that • Prate/asst cheaki sit apes tia Theme.

It would perhaps be said that he had always been calling out for wore specific measure. He adnitted that he had; and those who had hem in the habit of talking of general emancipation, night to be ashamed of the securities they_p with them. Well, Una, now it would be said e. ll:l specific measure was offered to him. But it was inch a msosure, that if be admitted it, he should not be at liberty to resist any th ine aloe which might hereafter be brought forward. He firmly believed that the Bill, if adopted by their Lordships, would lead to general emancipation. .They were freqsently told, indeed, that general emsoci. patios would came anise time or other.

Its should begin where the Noble Earl h ended, and say, that to the liberties of Ms country, as established at the Revelation. he was as finely attached as any man; and if he could believe that there was any thing is the present Bill which ope rated against those liberties, no man would be more firmly disposed to resist the modes for its sowed read log. But he was satisfied that exclusion was not ameagst the principles of the Revolutioa, but the alt• °option. Believing it to have been the wish of these who effected the Revolution to establish the fell, tallith cal, and religions liberties of all their fellow subjects, ia that they wets drives to the necessity of Makin throe exceptions by existing name and dangers; be. lining all this, and believing that such dangers and •auses now ao longer existed, he appealed to their Lord .hips open the prineipies of the Revolution to resters ,tiese role wriest to the tights and priviletree orwhich hey bad been deprived. It had heen sahl by the No lA* Baron on the erns bench, that if this neonate were !rented. it would lead to a full emancipation of the Oa tholic body from all their disabilities. If this dbpl could he predated by the Bilk it would set be an ale. I nti' to his mind, etteepting Unmade as it night W tit biddiese asses of gaining that nod. Ott at the Ail had bees charged with this object. and from thence as Infereses 'bid hem drawn elsewhere, that it was a Jo ethical attempt to attain that object, he would here deny his belief of any each impotation. It was tree that the person with whom the Bill originated had al. leaks been the able, constant. :talons, and it mixt he died. most powerful &Irma, of the general toestMo. But when he found that the claims of the whole body of the Catholics were not likely to be brought forw ar d at resent by the person to whose care their interests sp. Feared to be more immediately con fi ded. be detertnioed apes introducing the Bill wbieb was now before Owl, Lordships' House. It would be remembered that he had sever declared the whole claims of the Catholic body to be founded on right. He Ind always said that men should be allowed the exercise of free conscience in matters of religion, and that they should be permitted to wonisip their Creator according to the manner which irared to them most befitting. But is doing this they were Heide to certain restrictions for the safety and 'roadies of the Religion of the State. Upon strong necessity , arising from political causes 001?. Could this power of restriction be exercised. These, if the emu of priof that such causes as those of seltpreserntloa and oelf-defeace existed, must always lie upon those who ins. posed the disqualifications and restrictions.
