Hear.) —The Petition which I am about to pre sent to yogi, Sir, is from the Catholics of Englossd, whose env, in sunny respects, materially differs itam that of the Catholics of the Sister Island.-- 111otaithstanding this. difference, I am ready to admit that the measure of relief to be effected, must be general, and must embrace the Catholics of the Eitipire.—( Hee:. )—lf the /need of relief Vine to he confined to England alone, much as I I feel the real justice of the present application, I must, a. an honest man, say I should vote against the separation of the two cases.—( Hear.)—On the other hand, if upon this great question, the ill regu.. listed zeal of any individual should cast discredit upon this subject. let us, for God's sake. exonerate the English Catholics from any share in the blame of such indiscretion, and protect them from the undeserved reproach which. if incurred at all. must he incurred by a different net of individuals. Let us recollect their community of feelings and into• rests with ourselves. and, above all. the undeserved obloquy which your Priest Code has coot upon this cis.* of the Limes subjects. It is oar duty to redo...manmade.s from the imputation of that blame which has been incurred by other men, and in other times—it is our duty to adopt a spirit of concilia tiotiood not of reproach.—(Hear. ) —Every act of disqualification for .the profession of mere faith is in itself had. Whatever motives dictated our Penal Code, as affecting the Catholic, it may be now usete,s to discuss; the object and the efficacy of these enactments have lung since become use. less and unavailing fur any good purpose, and she present times should be relieved front the odium of perpetuating laws, the operation of winch is an injurious to the character of the couutiy, and so galling and oppressive to some of the JO) NI and distinguished individuals in the empire. It is in the spirit of conciliation that I present this l'etition.--it is to the justice, the wisdom, and the humanity of this House that I now address myself, end confide its prayer with a 6rm conviction that such au application for relief cannot be made in vain to so enlightened Legislature."—(Hear, hear.) Lord MORPETH—," After the able and eloquent speech of my Noble Friend, after the feeling and powerful statement he has made of the case, and the grievances of the Petitioners, and with the re. collection which the House must have of the wp. pests which have been already made to its wiolons and justice on this subject, I feel that it is unneers. coy for me to take up your time with any ob. serrstions in favour of the prayer of the Peti. tient'''. 1 am sure that whatever opinion may prevail respecting the original policy or our Penal Laws, there can be now but one opinion, that they tire no longer necessary..—(lfeue, hear.)- 1 only wish to take this early opportunity of uffesing my humble testimony of the loyalty and fotbeerame which have been uniformly displayed .by the Catholics of England—of that class who are debarred by the bail policy of our laws of ex 'num their talents in those ranks and %winos in eaciety, which are the honourable reword of le• gitirnite ambition to other class,* of his Mu. ray'. subject.. Those opportunities of fair re. want and hmssiaroble distinction which are ripen to the great Mill of the people of this cumitry, are shot to the Catholics alone. I shall only add 111111• word MI to the manner and language of the :Petitioners. It appears to toe, if 1 heard the words of the Noble Lord accurately, that the Petition is drawn up just ss it ought to be, in a simple and Plain. but yeti's atsostily and perspicuous manner —(Hear)—it does not enter into the detail of the specific grievances of the Petitioners, beC3USt they tueourne .these grievances, to be too universally known; it make. on mention of the loyalty and steadfast attachment of the English Catholics to the Constitution, because of that the Bourse is suffi ciently informed by the unerring test of long and ample experience.—(Hear.)-1 will not unticipate the deLite nu this important tjuestion. but shall conclude by expressing my fullest confidence that is Mouse will no longer suffer the grievances of -Wirth the Petitioners complain to remain unre. d.”—(l:ear.) Dr. Plitt,Listorte...m." Sir, I deem the rte of the Prtitioneis one so important to all ranks in so cnety, and so peculiarlyattention of the' attentio of Parliattient, that. notwithstanding the able and eloquent winner in which the contents of the Pe• ttnnn has beet, detailed to the House, I cannot re. hails from addressing a few observations to you unriii this sulijeet. The 11,iuse has heard the ge t.end cadent- of the .Petition clearly and perspi riotously etioril—the Flutist will hear it read from the table, and if the signritwes to it are alto read, they will reciii.i.;sr. let the names of the Petitioner!.„ name* the 111(:•1 illiistrinus in the annuls of our asoutry--sames hich are so intimately blended and mixed up wish the most brilliant actions in ,e ve h e Xest periods. of our history, that it i s /111 , to discuni. , :ct the association !illicit they present to the mina, (tern the reconeetioi: of thole illni,trious men whose wimt councils in time of iirescr, and glorious achievements in time of War, hive contributed to the renown of Great Britain.—(Hear, hear.)—The House will, in those nettles, recognise eminence of clivarzer, iis well as extent of disqualification ; it will recognise the names of nom who, in times of turbulence au l danger, maintained the character and reputatiou of their country, wider the endurance of the severest dirquisiifications. Well, indeed, might ton Noble Friend cite the deeds of the ancestors of the-i, Pe. titiotters, to intereet the House in their behalf, end to shew Cita, from their own conduct and charac ters, they were peculiarly deserving the relief of the Legielatitrr. I hope I may, without ine . iii e ti ou n n, be permuted to recommend that every floe. Member of this I will, if lie shall not have done so ready, before he makes up his mind on the vote winch he means to give on this question, diligently read through, and carefully examine, the history of the times which gave birth to the disabilities of which the Petitioners now complain. I wish every Honourable Member to read the record of We pe culiar circumstances under which these penaliies were justified and colleted —/Hear, bear) —and if it will be 'bond that the circumstances which ell gendered acts so hostile to the spirit of our Consti. Union have long since passed away. it will thrum re main for us to consider, whether, after the ),remises are changed, the consequences are not also to he removed. You will then have to consider whe ther, as the cause ha• ceased, the effect should not irate, and those restriction% be altogether re moved for the prolongation of which not the slight est plea of necessity could any longer he urged. This is surely a moment peculiarly auspicious for settling this great question. It would well become a new Parliament w assist, in a time of profound peace, to replace within the pale of the Constitu tion that large and respectable portion of our fel low-eutijects who have 'hewn themselves, by their loyalty and moderation, so worthy of participating in all the privileges enjoyed by the rest of their fellow-subjects."— (Hear, hear.) The Petition was then brought op and read. It stated in concise and expressive terms the illequalt ficatione which the Catholics endured, and prayed that the Heuer would adopt such measures as in its wisdom it thought fit, to restore them the bless lugs of the Constitution. The Clerk did not read any of the signatures. On the question that it do lie on the table, Mr. WILLIAM SMITH rose, stud said—" 1 would be the last man in this House, or in the country, to utter one word against the prayer of the Petition which has just been read ; on the contrary, I most sincerely hope and trust that the subject will receive the fullest consi deration, aud.tliat the pruner of the Petition will be completely granted. I should not now have arisen to make this declaration, were it not for a mistake into which the floolourable and Learned Gentleman who last addressed you seems to have fallen, re specting the bode of pereons to which I have ever belonged—l mean the Protestant Dig:welters. The Iliiiitiorehle and Learned Gentlemen sac% that the Catholics are shut out from the enjoyment of privileges fruits which no sect of Dissenters are excluded but 61 , 111' 0 Veg. I cannot allow this mis take to go abroad without correcting it on the instant. The Dissenters are equally subject with the Catho lics to the Test and Corporation Acts; they are with them equally subject to this obloquy (as it is properly celled) on account of their religious prin.. riples, and also to the obloquy that attaches to their civil disabilities. Theme is one point indeed in a hich we differ from the Catholics—we are eligible to seats in this House ; in other respects there is no difference. the disqualification remains the same, and though I am competent to sit here, I urn not competent to hold the smallest or most insignificunt race, civil or twittery. The Amine% Indemnity Act blues not alter the matter ; it dues not exempt us from the consequence of holding office at all, contrare to the provisions of the Statute. With respect to this Petition, I think it right to state, that it has my sincere and must cordial support, for it stands oil the ground of peact, justice, liberty, and hear) —tad the Dissenters, who I have an Noel right to the commiseration of the i. gislature, will not, I trust, be deemed less worthy of your attention." The Petition was then ordered to he printed. THANKS TO THE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS. Mr. CANNING said, that in rising to snake the proposition of which he had already given notice to the !louse, which was for a Vote of Thanks to the Marquis of 11uoings, and the Officers who 111111 the 11,111041 r of serving under him in time late Cam paign iii India, he would beg, in the first instance, to slate that his vote was according to the usual coursi - , purely of a military nutore, and in no de gree connected with civil matters. He stated this the more einphetically. because, in order to make more intelligible the nature of the military services of the objects of his miution, it wosld be necessary for hici to sliest *lout v.as the state of the principal Native Powers in Indio. and the political relations they bore to the British Government before this ckntevt. He meant to state three litchi only with a view to makitig his motion intelligible, and not at all fur the purpose of calling their attention to any thing hut the military operations. lie wished to guard himself upon this point at the outset, fur he k new the prejudices with which !whim conquests were viewed Ly many in this country; he knew how obeli the; were charged to toe irregular am bition of the dd.-rent Governors of indivi, and he dill not wonder that miscoostructions should prevail }loon such subjects. Whatever may be their opinion upon hornier wars in Loki, he was per salat'ekl that on tie recent one there could be but one opinion, that the care of its necessity was as clear as the military prowess which it exhibited was glorious—( Ilene, hear.) —In look ing ut the vast extent of territiny which England had ar q iiired im tlie vast empire, from the lucre folinulsit;"is of a single factory, when slur now subjected to her ii hmiuion a space ,of country to the extent of 1,000,0e0 geographical squitie wiles, and CMClpribin . 4 a population of 100 millions of nl dividu Js, was natural that the rye of a philoso pher remit' oot eiirvey such an increase of territorial acqinsition without sttributieg it in a great . degree to the ciiiistenetices an inordinate lust tor eon quest; tint since Perlimment hart taken the effairs LI India more i 11111 l ediately troller its supervision and cootrul, every thing had lotil Out: to couuter- act I tenticry to ih eirhoryitol tof terr*Atiriel pow). %it'l l , awl lo WO' Veld lIS bol II ,1-11..11 1),qt:owl the o•ct•-•ory botolook At it perlit.l of Indian lipotory 1144 the votes el Roth:n.ll4.o. or 11r recorrird Het* „r the authorities at hoiste. been mute laithfoll ns.Arle the ground,' of tilt. i.roceetinigs of the her! !wills, than ,Iture the adnusitstretio, of the ftlargiour ; et um period lisd th.t locel authorities lirrit more cilled from the consideratnai of external ae, , ranilizitent to the cultivation of 'medic im.:l,tirt, fur interoiel provement. ll'.

The Powlarries consisted of from between 3n to 40,000 regoilar and irregular cavalry, capable of receiving (occasional reilitorec memo, and most formidable from the iiiisoos.ibility of bringing to bear tiptoes them the operati•nis of regular war. In point of race, religion, and of patios*, they were the refine and remnant of former wars and disbanded soldiers—the refuse or nucleus to collect around every loose vagabond in the whole extent of the Indian empire, who was idle, dissolute, and averse to habits of peace and industry. Armed for a quick warfare, and front the nature of their habits, only capable of being suppressed when they could be surrounded and pent up in it num.", space of country. No speculation upon the danger amid] a body to all around them could justify the local Government to strike the first blow, and stir up all the elements of so unquiet and dissolute a popula tion. It was not on any speculation ul the in compatibility of the existence of such a power, in central India, with the maintenance of social order, that the late war was undertaken ; the Goverii mem, on the contrary, for a long time tolerated uhl that they could from this armed body, without giving the native Powers in alliance with the British Government any just notion to believe that an authority had been superseded which once ruled over their interests, and which, at least, extended to them its sympathy. A series of actual aggressions at length rendered this war necessary. In 1812 the Piti darries made an irruption into the Bengal district— in 1813, into that of Bombay-s-stud in subsequent years, into that of Madras. There was then n o choice remaining but all appeal to arms, and the wet season enabled the Governor-General to corn- municate with the Government at home, and re ceive an answer permitting him to remain with his hands untied iii this particular case. The charac ter of the successive irruptions of the Pintlames was dreadful in its extent ; there wes tin degree of human violence they did not perpetrate—rapine, murder, rape, and conflagration, were not the ac cidental attendants upon their march in the course of the year 1817. hut the uniform and constant concomitants of their track, the constant arms, Wt'llolls, and system of warfare which they used to insure temporary and partial success to their en terprize. There were not wanting instances where females, at the approach of these sanguinary and predatory bands, drowned themselves in their vil lage wells to escape the barbarity which they knew they must experience if they fell into the bands of the victors ; there were not wanting instances where fathers and PIM% and whole families, had surrounded their dwellings with fuel, and perish ed in the conflagration they themselver had light ed at the approach of the enemy. Both the Government of India and the Government at home had foreseen that this apparently insulated body might have extensive ramifications. They foresaw that it was not alone necessary to prepare to take the field against • force of 30,000 armed persons, who, though they might be dispersed, could no more be detested by a single discomfiture. than a ball of quicksilver could he said to be se pirated, which recedes from the hand and then re unites, but that also as they were the refuse of the armies of several great Chieftains to whom they still professed some sort of allegiance, it would be necessary to guard against the possible co. operation of Scindia and II olkar, under a horn many of the Pindarries had served. There was a third Power, whose means of annoyance, and worse than equivocal character. had also to be considered. lie alluded to Ameer Khios. One side the British territorial isosadisions in India touched upon the country of the predatory Pandarries, and on the other, upon the hostile Mahraiia nations. When the Marquis of Manor had planned his cant. ;nip, he had provided against the possible co-ope ration with the Pindarries of the Powers already mentioned, but he did nut anticipate the hostility of the Peishws, or of the With of Nagpore, for they were both bound to die British Authorities by the obligations of recently-framed Treaties,which ! had defiiiitively arranged some local differences. It I was necessary to bring into the field such an array of military strength as would overawe Send's, and prevent their co-operation with the Pindarries. As to Ameer Khan, as a proof of Ins submission, he had ' withdrawn his troops and surrendered his artillery. There still remained the third Power, Ilolkar, be tween whom and the British there was a subsisting Treaty. On this point, lii coosequence oleo acct. dental omission in the transmission of the ac counts from India, there was less information to the papers before them, than upon any other branch of the subject. When Holkar's hostile itittntions were tendered manifest, his army was attacked and entirely rooted at Ml,aidpore, by the divisions under Sir T.Hislop and Sir..T. Malcolm, who though second iu command to the former, wits second to none iu a knowledge of the views of the several native powers in India, and a man of the most coo summate talents and skill, whose name will be remembered in India as-long as the British mime is known or the British flag hoisted in that IMUltlibt extent of territory..—(Hear, .4ear.)—All at the - south side of the river Nerbuilila was teduced by • the promptitude and military skill of the British Commanders.
