Gentlemen who co mplained of the decisive character of the leaders, should recollect how miteh more objectionable it hal been if thee had selected men who were cowardly, who were in fact the worst of leaders. A union of the people on the question was known lac exist of the most per fect nature ; and these Irgialative inearteres were unly calculated to drive men to different expedients, by . which to cermes the sane de ception of feeling.

Gentlemen might recollect the policy pursued is reference to America, the nut, which passed the [louse, and the separation which followed: and they might ?climber Mr. Burke obsen eel, " the tendency of such meastires to provoke resistance• was one of the chief objections to ahem." %I' ern rteigiantglibLi teed the 11007 Ce of a melon's grievances, they were far more foe. niideble than those of I met . political natures lt was a mighty principle, powered, over whelnitugh he acknowledge'] it pre aented eentherleas difticultice; bat when it formed the very foundation of discontents, these dismitenta houtti not bear tampering with. 1t bad been said the remains of the Popery Laws in Ireland were like! the breed of the Molt eemt those veto Wight be inclined to entertain this potion should be told it was dangerous in the eXiZetlle to insult the religion which the Catholic must revete.

Ile believed, previous to the dismemberment of America from the Mother Country, the populist lenders felt much reettetance to adopt the measures which the various tyrannical acts of Great in the end obliged them to resort to. !hector Franklin Was Vila to have shed tests on Ravine the perent country ; yet he, is common with the people at large, at length found themselves placed in a situation when there *ea no altereative but submission, or what might be still called by many a rebellion.

And it must he new admitted oa all sides. that it was the extravagant assumptions and monstrous enactments of the elinisters of that day which separeted the Colonies from the parent country. It appeared to be the str-ege opinion of 'what lie might lac jurefied in calling the paradoxical bunch on the other side, that an administration divided on the important POillt of m e propriety of conceding the clailes CS the humae Catholics. timid yet legislate effectually for Ireland.

In the constitution of the Cabinet, as Se had said before. the interests of Ireland did not appear to be taken into consideration. That appeared a perfectlh secondary cesideration with elieisters—a gueituon, difrerence upon which did sat reader co-opetation mire tordial, nor did agreement lessen the may of those possessing oppreite Interests. Ile would assert, no sae geestion of equal importance existed-, difference upon which cavil be far a moment tolerated between one portion of the Cabinet eaten:lice. Certainly, Gentlemen oho were opposed to Catholic limatipatiol in the present adnitniatration, tnig it, with the most pedta propriety. continue to retain their places, because there ex.

No exceptisnaer exeseptiOn• existed in the Chinvestino.Aitte That House eid not exercise its duties under the Act, but its privilege. were therein referred to for the purpose of makingarey assumption of (heel in' 'other bodies criminal ;—that constituted the °fleece punishable soy' 1 the Contention Act. But it was only a waste of time tq apply a serious refurittion to such an argument. It might as ressonebly be urged that the tme object of wteship was excluded nut of the first Commandment. The next matter for consideration was, the law bring in conformity with the Ccnseituttoits said the Aseocietion violate the existing law ? One ti! the promi. rent features of the Assseciation was whet had been called the " Rent." Ile would not inquire how it was procured and. brought together—he was careless whether it was a voluntary con. tribution„ or, as h a d been asserted, a forced exaction. If the Aqua.' tuition misapplied its influence, let it be abated. and in the proper consideration of the subject, the manner is Lolling, but the matter every thing—that WWI point be considered. The er-, ;temente of persons who think otherwise were not to be 're lied on they wcre abetted, and betide the question ' If a man found a stranger in his house possessing him. self of his ptoperty, directing his servants, and threatening his lite, would time question with him be whether the assailant entered in at the door or the window ? In like meaner it mattered not how this body were brought together or eletted. If it be discovered assuming possession of the executive power. seducing the popula tion into sentiments of insubordination and discontent. aping the z u ilt s l t i a r n i c u e n s c i t , i l on t t e of st P a a te rli o als i lt, g r e w e ' aree i l D i g io s t ° t f o li w li ta li t a s n e Onral 4 ou u s m e l land it owed its existence; it must be crushed and extinguished. Could any man who had taken the trouble to read the edicts, and examine the sets of the Association, doubt for a moment that they assumed to represent the Catholic population of Ireland, and that they did represent then? The member for Winchel sea had said the Association did not represent the Catholic* formally, but virtually ; but no such distinction is acknowledged by the Association ; they would be themselves the first to reject and repudiate the idea. Their boast line pride con• silt in their claim to constitute the legitimate representation of the Catholic Defy. Were it possible to ascertain the precise senti• ments of Mr. O'Connell on the subject. and were he questioned as to the fact, be would proliably repleehat lie cared not for shadows but the substance. and would claim the credit of being as legitimate a representative cif his countrymen as any member who sat in that liouse. Ile Ole North) would direct the attention of the !louse to the peasantry who contributed their pittance to the Rent, to the ' Peers and Bishops who attended the meetings of the Association. These might be referred to as the certificates of their election, as ' proofs of their representative faculties . Can such a state of things be permitted to exist? He must maintain it to be highly dangerous under the existing circumstances of the country. Yet woeld he readily accede to the wishes of Gentlemen opposite if they were able to show, that notwithstanding the extensive influence it pesteessed, and the greet degree to which it obtained the confidence of the people, the Association was not productive of real mischief in a very grist extent. IVere such the state of things, looking at Ireland as he did, he would feel disposed not to complain. But he denied that i it was so, and would ask any Honourable Gentleman to lay his hand upon his heart and tell that House no danger was Ito be apprehended from the machinations of the Association. The only sate policy was, wider such circumstance'', to destroy an ec. gins which was likely to produce such mischievous effects. Gen tlemen on the other Fiat had denominated the Rent a trifle., and in_ capable of producing any effect on the cause generally. He would would admit that 10.01e1f., as far as money could be looked upon as efficient, was a (tilling sane and, for anything to be dime! by it, he looked upon 100.0001. with equal indifference. But', it was r' the principle lie must object. The Irish people' were tee much in the habit of connecting the persons entrust-1 ed with the collection of taxes with the sources of power itself. ' They would look upon the collectors of this tax as an authority and he thus led to acknowledge a power paramount to. and 1 distinct from, the Government of the country. Nor. he would ' assert, was this all : every man who paid a portion of Rent con nected the payment with ulterior objects, and considered himself pledged to the 'purposes held in view by the Assecietion. His destroy is combined with that Society—lie becomes united to its purposes, fin better for worse, for richer fur poorer. The bond of union is extensive, powerful, and complete. Vet lie did tint con sider this , as 'the only or principal evil--as much or more mis chief was produced by the meetings of the Association. and the intemperance uttered in them. Of these meetings, lie eons!. tiered the minor ono, held in the country town, sad remote die. tricot, as more injurious than the principal meeting of the Association in the metropolis. At these minor meetings', held toe the purpuee of collecting the Rent, and otherwise forwarding the , objects of the Association. the proceedings were conducted by subordinate agent!, who were deficient even in the caution, slight 1 its that was, which existed among the more leading members.l These meetings, held in such ren tote parts, circulated their crude and 1 dangerous opinions aneontrulled by the public press or pu bile opi 'lion; and their operations were excited and directed under the superintend , once of the Catholic priesthood. In the meetings of the .tsaoci. scion in Dublin. whatever is infinninatorhand exciting, is-poured out, and from the country flow a thousand currents, dark, narrow, and illiberal—finally. the two streams become united, one of them sowing from the turbid streams of religious rancour, and the other die idaiiipool of political (seine. • Ile would excuse tie cars* . uDitions of the Association, but he conceived that its ~11geeel..(rweet peetent conduct resembled the worst spirit of the worst times, and i darkest period. Ile was entitled to speak of Mr. O'Connell from personal knowledge, add disposed to consider him as much lest in temperate in his measures than might be imeeined. He was suit; he would never, acting on his own feelings, * have begun the hue. suit of patellar privileges, by an attack on the liberty of the, press. ;tut Mr. O'Connell was only one of a party, aid though potseseing no small share of influence, yet were there others who insinuated measures for which be might be perhaps unjustly considered accountable. Ile was only one man, and thoegh • leading member, yet in the Association, " Divisum im periuot cent Jove Caesar babe." Those individuals, inferior in impertauce, were yet often equally his ministers end mestere, and governed while they obeyed. It has been objected to the Asenci anon thit its discussions me all on one side, and with one view nod obiect. An individual seeking for distinction can only obtain it In the Association be going beyond his predecessor% iu violence end intemperance; there exists among them an emulation of vio lence. 11 Oat was violent yesterday is by comparison cool and tem perate to-morrow. 'Elie palled palate demands a stronger stimulus, and hourly advances are nimbi in intent pemnee and insubordination. The .Association cannot, front its constitution, continue stationse7 for an instant. With it—e• Non progredi eat retrogredi"—none Can tell where it will stop. The object of the Association or to-morrow will be different from that of to.day, and it' it be not put down by the present enactment, the Association of next year will be of a much slicer and more violent character than that of the present. 1 In a late case, where a soldier was charged with an attempt to ad minister illegal oaths for the purpose of introducing a system of espionage, what did this Association prove? 'Why they proved ' nothing---they established nothing. 'I lie soldier was acquitted. ' And why was he acquitted? Ilecalise truth had an ascendancy and buoyancy, ebich will ever reader it triumphant over false. hood tuffi perjury. But it' this man had been convieted; what then ? why, we should have been told of the immense advantages arising front this Association—of its powerful efficacy in the ad. ministration of justice--and, but for its existence, that he never ' would inee been convicted. The Right Honourable lend-man who brought this question befure die House, hail fisted, as one of his greatest objections to the Association, that it interfered with the adminislration of justice; and he maintained that the Right Honourable Gentleman's position stood good, from a consideration of every feet which lead yet come to the knowledge of the House. It Bad s he believed, been mounted, that there is a tnal.administre. nun of justice in Ireland. This. in the teeth of all who assert it, he denied. During the whole of the last 13 years, front the acquit tal of D. Sheridan. down to the more recent failure of the pro ceeding* against Mr. O'Connell, he had been a witness to its purity ; and, in adding his feeble testimony, he begged to Say, it WWI at least entitled to respect from its perfect sincerity. He would beg to call the attention of the House tb what had been said by the advocates of the Catholic body themselves, to what had been in culreted by elr. Cobbete Draw up, *aid he, a list of your griev ances—state the cases of oppression you complain of—bring them before the notice of the people of' England, and they will attend to them—they will 'redress them. What had been the consequence of this advice ? No list had appeared—they had no existence but in the heads of a few turbulent and' discontented partisans. Had the Honourable Gentlemen, the Member for Limerick. who at temp:ed by many, and he would certainly say, very happily chosen quotations, to justify the objects and defend the views of the Catholic body—had he stated any acts of oppression ? lie. Even the Honourable and Learned Gentleman who preceeded hint (Mr. Nord)) in due debate, failing in the support of the argument, upon every other ground, had been compelled to have recourse to the natural infirmities of man to prove his position. But suppose that tranquillity can alone be restored, by taking power from the bands which now hold it, he would ask, would we not purchase that tranquillity at too high a pricy? %l °AI we not in our at tempt thus to heal the distractions of Ireland piece it under a divided authority ?—put a seoptre into the power of Mr. O'Gert- aell—a broken reed in the hands of Lord eVellesley. lie would rather see it in the words of our good old laws, under the favour of our steel, and the protection of our Lord the lihig, than reposing in the peace of Catholic security. Let it be toutquillisctl by the laws—let its harmony by secured by nbediencb to legislation, not by being placed under the controul ors power, of whom it may be fetid •• Sensus Inoresque repugnant," of a power applying itself to ' the malevolent passions of men—supporting itself by denouncing' every person who dared to oppose it--and violating every principle it professed to maintain ; a power whose protection might he well likened to the Irish Mantle near three centuries ago, described by ' Spencer--a bed for a rebel—a house for an outlaw, arid meet cloak for a thief; an Association proclaiming to the ignotant thousandsl who look up to them, their hatred of the Pronctante, and call* upon them to cherish it as they value their existence. Ile did mat mean to say that these were the sentimentt of all the (*.idiotic body,. he knew ninny who would repel with indignation such sug gestions—many who entertained the kindest and most generous sentininits for their Protestant brethren. A moms others, a' Nobleman of high honour and worth—Lord Killeen, had come fiwyrerd to vindicate the Catholic nobility from those fool aspersions. ]le wished he had come forward curlier. lie wished the Catholic geotry and nobility would come forward and rescue the cause from the Kends into which it hiss fallen. It' peter wax only to be produced by enlisting the passions, be feared they would quickly become rebels. A civil war of the vices has been carried on in Ireland for centuries : it' peace is to be promoted., this war most be put dean.

If the Catholic body had been farmed when the Orange Astociatloh was strong, he perhaps might haye said thee were toadied in a meaaore of sclf-defence; .but when the order was dis continued—when Uoveentuent was about to crush them—when the laws were about to be put in execution against theme-the Catholic body ritelicd forward to oppress and trample on them. If they arc Tallying—whirb lie prayed God to avert,—it is oely by the natural consequences of reaction. Disturbances have been traced to other sources. One Honourable Gentleman adduced the Bible alectinm as one of the causes of dissension. Ile couldaay, front all he had. heard in Ireland, that there could not be a more remarkable epee , tacle than the extreme +Mention and decorum—the strong desire to be informed—which was so conspicuous in the great mass of the people. An lion. and Learned lientknian had said, that the Catholic cause was founded upon that right of tree and unfettered inquiry, 1 which had been established by the Revolution, and that the dissensions of that unhappy country could never be ended. hut by the concession of the Catholic claims. Ile agreed with:that learned person in his wish that their claims could be conceded, but I if he eoula controul events, if he could command circumstances ' if he bed (lit power to grant the full extent of their demands , he, fur one, would sal, that he Dever could give Isis consent until the Ca. tholic Association had been put down by law. Ile had been told the law would be evaded. that its purposes would be defeated ; but he thought better (if his Catholic countrymen. They felt that walbout calmness, without patience, without tom:Armee, they never could succeed but by subnindon to political expediency, and carrying along with them the good feeling of the people of England, then, and net till theu, they could hope to arrive at perfect free dont ; foe. antil the hearts and feelings of the people of England went along with them, they never could ensure surmise. He kllll thus endeavoured to state the grounds of the vote which Inc meant to give upon thee impoliant question t and though he might forfeit the regard of men whom he esteemed and honoured, and whose good opinion he was desiaous of preserving, yet lie poese.sed in his own breast what would support him under die trial. Ile felt th • necessity of the measure, lie saw it IMP agreeable to the spirit of the Constitutkm, and he felt cooliitent that it would receive the ap probation of this House, the sole depositary of the laws, because it supports the dignity anti aialptity of his Xlajeaty's Government, and. bryoed all. the peace of theeadintry. Dr. J,usitistvrox rase, but iie account of the scandalous noise which prevailed in the )•allery, it was some time before we were able to comprehend hint, when we understood him to say, that he liked the mode adopted fur tarrying the measure into ex.- cution . I'hey had selected but one ok twolnstances only for illus trating the conduct ef the Association, wjth regard to their prone. cutions. He (Ih. laughing - ton) must dedb the justice or in ferring the character or an assembly, or that of iprivate individual, from nothing bit: a few isolated facts. , There wits not a single alembet on either side of the House who would undertake to defend every act of that House ; and if. it were to be judged by one or two rash acts which had been pained in it, he ,was afraid they would appear to the same disadvantage as the Catholic Asso ciation, which appearance merely arum born the circumstances of the peculiar situation in which the Association aes placed. He thought that wl.et he ass about to relate to them world sufficiently explain his wee-Msg. There was a society called •-• The Univer sity Club," which, like the Catholic Association, had chosen a library, and the books which they rejected had arcked. npon them •• rejected;" and those which were admired into the rbrary were make I •• admieed." On one of the shelves of the lib rary there was a book called `• Memoirs of Mullet Wi hon." This book was marked " admitted;" (Laughter) close by the side iof it stoo I a p'ainly, covered Bible which was marked as rejected. (Peals of laughter.) Now he (Dr. Lushington) did not think it 1 right to judge of the character of the University Club I y . that *in. Me eircums ante: he did not think they could draw the inference that the members of that Society were in the habit of reading loose books, and, in censeemenec, of rejecting the Bible altogether. lie would then put it to Honourable Members whether they did not think they might err in the attempt to judge the Association by one act oi'lly. The Association merely sought to have the same Measure of justice as their fellow-subjects, and to have those grievances redressed under which they had laboured. He (Dr. Lushington) merely asked for them that portion of can dour which he thought their situation cotilled them to.— (Hear). Under similar •aumstances, similar Associations would naturally arise. Other Societies hall their Committees and made their reports in the same manner as this, yet riots different was the treatment to them ? When one class of subjects obtained a superiority over another, those possessed exclusive privileges would naturally endeavour to keep them, whilst the other party, quite as naturally, would (Tease their claims as well as they were able ; the spirit of equality would exist and would break forth. Honourable Gentlemen must remember the implications of the administration of justice in Ireland, the various complaints made fur-redreas could not be forgotten ; from 1903 to 1811 it Was lamentable to contend that the administration of justice was there inane unspotted t it was notoriously the controry. With respect to I d a proclamations which had been so ma talked about, tbare *M I but one sentence which theGendemea atb* side dale Hodge had complained of, viz., " by*, beds o n bear to Orange men." Ile must say that he did teat it could at all be ap plied as Meaning the hatred whit!

Hammitt ash the Honourable Gentlemen who supported this Bill whether they thought that penal enactment would quench the eloquence of Mr. O'Connell, or suppress the sentiments of the people, and the elfuru of the Roman Catholic l'riests. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he should Inot now trouble the Ileum, after the protracted discussion which had taken placo, and he did not rise with any hopes of being able to add" any thing to the arguments which had been brought for ward, yet he felt anxious to express his sentiments on the question, not only on account of its importance but from other reasons which Its would state. lie had observed with satisfaction that no attempt bad been matte by those Gentlemen who supported the other side of die question, directly to defend the existence or acts of the Catholic Association. It had hail been said that its exhume, was natural, and arose from the situation in which Helena was placed; but co attempt bath been directly made to defend them ; on the con trary, every Member who had addressed the House, from the tin* to the last, had studiously endeavoured to draw a line between themselves and the Catholic Association. The manner of the wank only was blamed, on the gronnd that this was not the proper I remedy. Ile did not feel conscious that he was, by any conduct efl his, instrumental in bringing on chemistries with which Ireland was afflicted. lie was anxious to advert to that part of the question which concerned his own cor.duat. Gentlemen should recoiled how the Governmer.t was formed. During the administration of the late Mr. Percival, the Government was opposed to the question as a Government ; some opposed it upon principle, others upon the ground of inexpediency at the period. Upon the death of Mr. Percival, the restraining 'Members of the Government were placed in a very singular simatiou. This House not feeling itself, at the present time, inclined to support a Government systematically opposing that question, presented an address to the Prince Regent, praying hint to form an ildnanistretion which should be wore deserving the confidence of the Government and of the people. Negociations were entered into to accomplish this end, but, on account of some blunders committed by those ' to whom it was entrusted, it failed. Afterwards a (ioverse ment was formed, which was nut to take a part $s a Govern. I ment. In business of this kind they were obliged to take the elements as they found them. They could not expect a Utopian form of Government ; they must look at thereat nature of thirt lie would not pretend to demonstrate that it was nut an evil, on the contrary, he thought it was an evil. his winald now look to what they were told they were to do. Why, they were told that it is very true, that when you first Caine into office, you opposed it ; but now you are to advocate a new se stem. and snake it a government measure. Ilia was what was called {reasonable. Sane Honour. table Gentlemen had armee out, lie would not say ingenious, but , unworthy sarcasms, upon persons in the Government, against whom it was insinuated, to suit their own argument, that they would. , fur the paltry consideretion of place. forsake their principles. With regard to his Honourable Frieuil who ate near hint, (11r. Peel) there was not the slightest attempt made to impeach his honour. lie thought he might say, without vanity, dint the coun try was satisfied with the conduct of the Gomenment. lie would now suppose that the advice which had been given had been fol lowed ; the consequence would be in all likelihood the breakiog up of the Administration. and if even that wan not to take place, the House must recollect, that if they were thus to alter their measure, It would be an act of great treachery towards their associates. The /honourable Member fur linaresbureugh (Mr. Tierney) had ! said. they had refused the assistance of his side of the House; but he (the Chancellor oldie Exchequer) did not think they could make up their minds to give them their assistance ; for he did not think such inconsistent conduct would justify the confidence of an honest Parliament. Ile drew the conclusion, that if they could not pass that measure, they must apply the remedy. ab'stli regard to the passing or the measure as an act of the Government, he doubted excceongly whether it, at the present moment. could be &sole. pliished. .1 he difficulty of passing the unamsre had been re presented as insuperable; but he did not go so tar as that; he certainly did believe, that there existed at the present moment a strong feeling 'of opposition to this question in England. (Cries of `• Hear, hoar," and " No, no.") them part of this feeling arose front acts of the Catholic .dissociation. There was a large body of persons with strong feelings of opposition to the measure in the House of Lords. There was another numerous body of the community—he meant the Clergy, who were opposed to it ; and it was unfair to reproach them with being influenced by unworthy motives i but whether it was from mere love of the Church, or front a higher or inure proper feeling. it was natural fur them to look with jealousy to the adtnission of such a body of citizens to the enjnyment of rights, by the possession of which they m ight soon he able to obtain their professed object, the overthrow of the Protestant religion. Every body knew the influence the Clergy had. If we lookel at all history, we should see that changes, which, pro spectively viewed, appeared impossible, had mimosa miraculously taken piece in human affairs. 111 e saw, therefore, no reason to de. spair of success with regard to this quesiiint. He knew by his own ' situatinn that it hail advanced. He had enteliell the proves* of opinion in that Iltsu.e, and he ought to be the last to ar g ue that no cltange was png , ll.l!C, when he himself was an instance of the advance of which he was Sperteill4. All his culy impressions. his hereditary prejudices, if lie might SO call- them, were against the Catholics , . lie had been taught te - outsider that an in separable connection existed between papal power and arbi trary power; and he was in Ins yotith av decidedly opposed to concession as any or his ii,,,w,,,,ibte Friends at this day. But he had now taken what he believed to be a more correct view of the question. (Cheers.) lie would never be ashamed to chance his o p une e s , when he nes cons bead thet he ought to chance them. . ! • (Cheers.) Considering his awn ermine then, he expected that tine would in other'', and in the femme generally, produce a different feeling from that which prevailed at this moment: Tito a general feeling hostile to the Dubelie claims did prevail at this moment en) a very powerful degree, there could•die no doubt whatever .4No, no, nein the Oppesitinn). He might be mistaken, he ad. mitten - , nut he must judge ter himself, si o the fact front what be biniself observed. lie believed then that there did exist et the pre, sent moment such a degree of Motility ten the Catholic Question, that the power of no administration that could be tonne! Would be able to carry it ; and, in 11, c pinion' the n-ost fatal thing that could befall it would be for an atiniiniststittion to ley it down as the Mai of their reseenn, and fail in an 'unapt to carry it.' Such a failure would throw it back half a ceneonn • (Ileac, Melon) Regarding .the question in that point of view, did not reel himself justly ex posed to ilia merman., which some Honourable Gentlemen err the. opposite side lad heaped upon those who thought they did their duty in fanning part of an euhninietrarion in which the queetion wes, unfortunately be admitted, left as it then was. n Hear, bear,: hear.)' Having thin, explained the intuition in which lie stoo d,. and *inn dkated himself drool the imputations so unjustly cast upon him, he would not venture. at that time of night, unpnieeed to an ex tended discussion of the tubject under the conederation of the House, but lie wished to adtert to that part of the arguinent ienich plated to the necessity of the -proposed measure: The Hon. and ..arreal Gentleman !Sir J. Slackintoslisitad cot t -tided that it was not enough that there should be a mere convenience, but an abso lutist, necessity. Ile (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) :atereed in lime view of the subject. If the only , question war one cf copse Silence, the House might have legislated last Session, when'they mere urged to put down these 'Associations, but Goverr.tstit I then felt that they could not justieably interfere until the condue-n Oldie Catholic Association rnaleretnit absolutely necessary.

But he (the Chan cello, of the Exchequer) considered that the morn miserable ileferce be had ever heard, and the Honourable and Learned Gentle man himself bad stated it at the time. as if he felt its insufßciency. (A laugh.) lie was generally pretty stout in his assertions, but lie dint manifested notch less confidence than usual, and admitted by his manner what it. denied by his words. He did not approve of the Constitutional Association, end did not subscribe to nor support it, for he disapproved of any asioniation interfering with the adtr.inistration of the laws. It was on Ibis polled printipal that he was opposed to the Cathulic Amen ;nationals°. ( Hear, hear, hear.) What would the House think elf this Association, which published a document to the world, in which they proclaimed to the world, that murder had ben perpetrated under the sanction of law—they did not even st ogy at the assertion, that homicide had been committed ? Such a publi cation was utterly at variance with spirit of the Constitution. And when he saw the manifestation of such sentiments by this Associ. anion—when he saw their acts, he was not iisposed to place in. elicit reliance its Mc honied words with whi h, •n other occasions, they recommended peace to the people. (11:ar, hear.) There was also that remarkable expression—" By tee bate you bear to Orangemen." This was the throwing venom into the cep of dis cord, which already embittered society in that country. Ile was at is loss to put upon this expression the construction which it had beat attempted to assign to it by Honoursble nlembers on the op posite side of the Dowse. It was endeavoured, he thought, most unsatisfactorily, to explain it as meaning merely that the Catholics should not be partial to their oppressors. (clear, hear, hear.) From the violence of certain members of the Roman Catholic body, he entertained little apprehension—it excited no alarm in him. it was, therefore, that lie paid little regard to the violence of )Ir. O'Connell, and Dr. Dreengoole„ a few years ago ; but when he that violence was generally approved of, when he was told that persons who were most prominent in the display of that violetee, were persons of great influence over the whole Catholic population of IrcLand, he then, indeec, thought that the existence of the As. suciution was pregnant and fraught with infinite danger. As to I the Catholic question, he -would. as he had done before, whenever it was brought forward, give it his most our ial support. It was a great grievance —he would therefore move for the removal of that grievance. He thought also that this Association was a great mischief, and he world therefore move for its removal. It was not fair to say, because we cannot resneve one grievance. that therefore we should not endenvout Of remove the other. (Hear, hear.) Indeed he did not know any thing that was more calculated to protract and delcy the measure of• emancipation than thin very Association;.-.it had interfered, among other subjects, wish the administration of justice, which it censured. This was a charge which could not, in his opinion. be fairly made. An improvement had taken nine in the e'cction of Sheriffs.-.the acts of the Alagistracy had been revised, and the revisal had led to some benenicial alterations—all this and more had been doue'with out the interference of the Associetion. And he would not refill , quish the hope, that the great grievance of which the Bynum Ca. tiwaseeins complained, world ere lonaborearoved nod roc , tined, and that, too, without the interference of the Association.— ' I In any country such a society was dangerous—in Ireland partiett. lady so; on account of the ettsceptible qualities of tbe inhabitants of that country their minds were easily operated on 1 ; and although ' the sword was now in the scabbard, they 'lid not know how soon it might be unahmthed by a people cosily excited, and habit uated to act from sudden impulse. It was impossible to permit the existence of this Association, without creating counter-anemia. twos throngliout thereuntry,and thereby tintering :he 401111946 es of that unfortunate country. For these reason* he would soppoit the measure, acid give his vote for the suppression of an Association which he helieetnl to the bane and curse of the country. (Cheers.) Mr. IlUnlE rose amid loud cries of Question, question ;" he merely rose to say, that lions what had been elicited in the course of the discussion, and from what remained to reply to and remark upon, the subject tract not been half exhausted (a laugh); he would therefore move an adjournment of the debate. Mr. CANNING could not concur in "minim' with the lion. Member, that the subject had not been halt exhausted ; but as it appeared that the House was exhausted, he would anent to the proposed adjournment, with the understanding, that the adjourned debate 'Mould take place to-morrow, or rattier this day, and that it should take precedences/tall other motions.

In all their changes, therefore. theN will seek to combine their political independeree with jus; laws, and with that social ord.r which has its origin . in good government. The establishment of such a Govern-. mem, administered on liberal principles, rising up in the neighbourhood of the Allied Sovereigns, is, no doubt. matter•to them of uneasy contemplation. That their vas: • sal tuljects should hate, ki it were, in the midst of them, the example of an oppressed people recovering their ancient recdoto, and breaking the few, of a dreadful slavery bo' th e ir own unassisted strength, is an electrifying sight. twit carries with it a danger that is not confined to the doini nions of the Ottoman Porte. A revolution in the Turkish Empire may he considered as the unavoidable coosequencc . of the emancipation of the Greeks ; hitt the downilit of this barbarous structure is connected with climes so certa . U. in their issue, that the event, whenever it hippehs, wi.l very little, if at all, disturb the repose of Europe. The official statetnents respecting the successes of Bo: i vp.a, in Peru, tnust re.neve all the absurd doubts which. soine have affected to entertain on that subject. It is quite' cltir that die Spanish power was, at the date of the accour..v. we publish, complettly overthrown. • The adjourned debate respecting the Catholic Associa tion was resumed last night, and continue(' till nearly one o'clock, when, on the conclusion of the Cit.txecu.on the lien Ft;I: CE'S speech, it was adjourned, fer the third tima, till this eveihrg, and it vas agreed that it should take the precedence of all other busimss. The speakers List night were, against the introduction of the Bill—Mr. r e. LAMB, Mr. SFRING RICE, Sir J. MACEINTOSH, and Dr. LESHINHTON, for the measure—Mr. DAW SON, M. BROWNLOIY, Mr. Noain, and the CHANCELLOR of the Exult Efte ek. The speech of the Right Honourable Gen tleman was distin7isished for its frank and liberal tone, and the clearness and force of his sentiments. The debate will certainly be concluded this evening. Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was he'd at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs, in Downing-street. The Cabinet Ministers continued in close deliberation till about a quarter past four. Yesterday Count Munster, the Hanoverian Nlinister, and the Right Honourable Sir Chas.
