Mr. CARTWRIGHT presented a Petition from the Arrh deacon and Clergy of Pcterboruegh against the Catholic Mr. WESTILIM roar to reprint, doubt of the constitu tions! propriety of the clergy coming tomer,' in a body against a general right. The clergy certtiiily could not have a stronger Interest in spenl . of dna kind than any other clams of his Majesty's subjects individually, but their ap pearance in a body was formidable, and assumes' the symp toms of unconstil I tendency. They looked like a sepa. rate and distinct class coining forward to give an influence. The subject was one that was connected with political rights and liberties, and the clergy ought not so come In their collective capacity to assume a political influence. Mr. Pa►t,, with much warmth. said it was impossible for him to listen to the doctrine advanced by the Hou. Gentle. man, without entering his most soienin protest against it. Could it, he legged to know, be possible that one who eat with those who professed to be the advocates of toleration, would lay down a doctrine so palpably adverse to it ? Where hail he learned, where read the doctrine? Harr the clergy no right to petition ?—were they to have uo opportunity of ex pressing their wishes on a subject which, in their opinion, affected the interests of religion vitally Wan it nut cnourh to exclude them from Parliament, and should they be inter. dicted • privilege which wan enjoyed by all others of his Ma• jesty's subjects? To otter such sentiments was particularly unfortunate codstmeh a night. The most steenituus advocates of Catholic Emancipation did not entertain an idea of such exclusion. Were not corporate bodies petitioning Parlia ment every day, and why should an exception be made to the prejudice of the clergy /fear, hear.) Mr. METRUeff said, lie hoped he ceine within the limits of parliamentary phraseology when he said he considered *Oh abhorrence the exclusion alluded to. The language of the Houourable Gentleman was buth miniboom and uiscunati lotions". The clergy hail peculiar claims upon the respect ful coneiderat 44444 of Parliament. ..... Mr. WESTRRN said he had been greatly misrepresented by the Gentlemen who had jost delivered their warm opinions. He by no means meant that the clergy should be excluded from the privilege of petitioning. They had as good a right as any ushers of his Majesty's subjects to address Parka. went, but in their collective capacity the inflociire they pos sessed might prove dangerous. He begged to know whether it would be tolerated that the army sibuisld in a collective holly petition the House. He defied the How Gentlemen to defend Ow prinetple.—,-Lourl cries of " Hear, Acer," and of " Order.") The SPLIIIIIIt said the warmth of the lion.

He stated, that the Petitioners were a very large body of the respectable Inhabitants of Exeter, who apprehended that the measure was fraught with danger Io the Protestant ascendancy; and be declared that his views perfectly coincided wit Ii their•, it being his opinion that further concessions could nut be given with safety to the Constitution. _ _ . Mr. NEWMAN said, he had heard it reported that it was his intention to give a vote upon the question at variance with his former opinions. Ever since he had taken a seat in that House he bad adopted one line of conduct with re spect to the Catholic Claims. Hr had always juiued the Protestant side, and should do an upon the present occasion, except lie heard arguments much stronger than those in ge neral use, to she w the propriety of granting the Catholics that for which they petitioned. If any thing should take Place in the course of the debate calculated to alter the opinions opoit which he had hitherto acted, he should with. oat hesitation art upon the principle. He, at the same time, gave it to be understood, that if lie thought the Ca tholics were not protected in their property and religion in the fullest maim's - . he should be the first to propose securi ties for their protection. Lord ERRINGTON declared that no public intimation had been given of the met ling at which the Petition just brought up was framed, our had there appeared in the public Papers any reqnisidion to that effect until the 20th isf last mouth, when ass advertisement appeared from the High Sheriff, visit ing east a Meeting would take place on the 23i1, in emote pience of a traquisil signed by several respectable inha bitants. There was then but an interval of two clear days between the notice and the Meeting. He could not speak decidedly as to the predomioant opinion of the people of IN vim on she !subject, but he was convinced that the notice was too short in be acted fairly upon. He slid not blame the High Sheriff, nor did he mean to speak with dis respect of those who had signed the Petition, hut the names of the majority were unknown to Il i 11l , and he was well assiired that the majority of the Nobility and Gentry had slot sanctioned the Petition, and did not concur in the sen. timents of those who had flamed it. He was one of douse who, if they thought C011,0'5010119 to the Catholics would be attended with injury to the Protestant ascendancy, would not entertain a thought of voting fur the measure; but lie cousidereil it as wise in policy, as it was s diu principle, to agree iii the necessity of removing their disabilities, and he should give the question his most derided support Mr. COURTENAY gaud, that he held in his hand a Petition from a highly respectable body of liikihitatits of the rime place in favour of the Catholic Chillllll, mod staling Holt 3 liberal concession, so far from being injurious, would add strength to the Protestant ascendancy. It would, he ob served, ill become him to make any uloservat . as to the relative claims of those who signed the two Petitions to the attention of Parliament. He knew there existed a great wallet) , of °nations at Exeter on the subject, and it was she bounden duty of awl'? Representatives to bring to the dis. cossion their unbiassed and unfettered judgments, by which alone they could arrive at a true fesull.—The Petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. Barran° presented a Petition from the Deanery of Christianity of the County of Devon, against the Catholic Claims. - He also presented a Petition from S;lmoutli against the Catholics. _ _ Mr. COURTItiIAi , preemie(' a Petition from a great num ber of ihr Inhabitants of the City of Exeter, in tivulir of lbw Catholic (lame. .

A new writ was 'lssued for the illorongh of Okehrimpton, in the Loom of Christopher Sarile, Eiouileenied. lord Amity's HILL presentcd • Pet!' • from the County Down in favour of the Catholic Clainia.—Laid on the table. tlr. iII.ACKRURNr preetnied a Petition from the county of Laisca , ter .K.einst the Pour Settlement Bill.—Ordered to he ten the table. Mr. WFSTIMN and Mr.l4 ITHLI VN mutually explained. Mr. PLuff err said, there was an evident misapprehension existisig. The clergy had, he said, petitioned against the claims, under the impress 1111 l that the interests of the Pro testant Church were iu danger ; they considered that a ques tion of religion, which he regarded us one of great civil po licy, smd certainly they hail a right to petition in a collective we we ll as in air individual capacity ; but it perhaps wontd have been advisable to have abstained fl-um taking so active a part as they had taken upon the occasion. Lord MILTON coucorred fully in his lion. Friend's (Mr. Western's) opinion. He asked whether, if the Ist regiment of guards came down to the House with a Petition, the Moth'' , would receive it' The Heuer, lie said, might as well abdicate its fouttions altogether- The clergy were the servants of the body of the church, nod they should not arrogate to themselves an influence which they bad uu right to exercise. Mr. Pug briefly explained, after which the Petition was ordered to lie on the table. A Petition was presented from Northampton, against the Catholic Claims. Sir GRORHA HILL presented a Petition from Londonderry, against the Claims of the Catholics.

I do submit, Sir. and, its my mind, properly submit, for them, that the causes of disqUalification have ceartel. First, the combination of the Roman Catholic Powers of Europ't, one of those causes, hits ceased ; nest, the Pretender. dumber of those cruises. no longer exists ; and the power of the Pope, the last of those causes, is nn longer to be feared. I submit that those causes have wholly ceased—not only thlt, but the 'passim's:nu' prejudices which were annexed to those causes, are no more. I may go even far. tiler, and say, not only are those viscous nu More, but the objects on which they could bear—the pro. jects with which, by possibility. they could he rums 'leered, have vanished likewise. The Rousso' Catholics do not, and they cannot question the right of Parliament to disqualify. It is a right which was exercised in the best times, and for the best purposes. is a right and power, exercised for the preservitiott of the purity of Par. Barnett. You disqualify the clergy...you disqualify a certain description of placenten and pensioners—a with a view to the west-IV:aims of your own parity. This I admit. But there is one privilege which you have not thought, and cannot think, homier to attack —that is. the privilege of rehglioi,— (Hear, hear.)—Every man has a tight, au 11.1.411t testable right, to worship his (;od, nil deli nice of his fellow-creature !
