Lord NUGF.ST presented last night the Petition of the Catholics of England to the House of Com mons, praying for a repeal of the rhiquillificat they endure from the operation of the Penal Laws The Petition was simple and concise its its fora► It stated the general disabilities they endured, and without attempting to dictate the particular mea sure of relief, they submitted their cause entirely, and with a well-grounded confidence, to the wis dom and justice of the Legislature. The Noble Lord, in presenting this Petition, made an elogisetit appeal to the House, in which he lost forward, in an unanswerable manner, the powerful claims of the Petitioners, who belonged to many of the most illus trious families in the empire, fur the relief they sought, and whose temper and forbearance tinder the disabilities they have endured, and which have so long outlived the necessity OH which they weie originally justified, have, considering their rank and opulence in this couti:ry, gained for them the sup port and esteem of the most distinguished and virtuous characters. The question as affecting the general Catholics of the Empire will be shortly brought forward by Mr. GRATTAN, and the aubjec•t will be then dia. cui.Aed as a whole, and not taken up on the separate Petition of any part of the aggrieved Body.
