The Bishop of LONDON presented Petitions against the Catholic Claims from the Clergy of the Archdeaconries of Colchester, Essex, Middlesex, and St. Albans. and, from the Corporation of Stun College. The Learned Prelate observed that these Petitioners were modes ate in their Itinguage,and de sired that the Human Catholics should enjoy the utmost toleration lii religion auJ srrcurity iii the enjoyment of property, but that they could nut be admitted to a partiei}wi' of political power, without danger to the Constitutiou and the Church of England. lie thought it necessary to add, that lie fully concurred in their sentiments—Laid ou the table.

The Duke of Beau Foa l. presented two similar Petitions from the luhabitants of the City of Bris tol ; as did the Bishop of ELY from the Clergy of Ely. The Earl of Dotionaumotte rose and said, that in pursuance of his nonce, he had now to present to their Lordships several Petitions from the Ito man Catholics of Ireland, who again prayed the earnest attention of the Legislature to the degraded state in which they were still retained by the exist ing laws of that country, and to the severe exclu sion from political privileges under winch they still laboured, ft was not Ins wish to enter at length into a consideration of the policy of those disabling 14rvti It this first stage of the proceeiliogs to obtain relief; but with respect to the Petitions themselims, lie felt it necessary to state, that tl.ey spoke the sense of the whole Roman Catholic population of Ireland; that they were justly respectful in their language, were not the offspring of party spirit, nor dictated to the great body of the people by any select number of individuals, however respectable. From the circurostairces counected with flip present state of this great question, two facts presented themselves, of which it was impu•►ible to entertain any doubt:—the first was, that the zeal of the vie. tilos to the nor:laic laws of rictus' 4444 was airier more ardent or simultaneous, said never was the opposition to their claims ►o weak and inetf , cioal, its at the present motwoit.

Throe Petitions, the Noble Loud observed, were from Catholics only; but he hail now to present one from the Protestants of the Cut? of Cork, nume roo,l7 an d res pectably lanceted, in favour of the Ca tholic Claims. This Pentioto he begged leave to present to the particular notice of the House, as eminently deserving their Lordships' attention.,— The Petition was then reed, and, with the others, laid on the table. E .r 1 GREY rote to present it Petition from the great body of the Roman Catholics of England, prayiug for the repeal of several laws to which they were subjected, solely on account of their cousciesi tious edlierence to the religious opinions of their ancestors, and which, us they repre , ented, in no degree conflicted with their moral, civil, or politi cal duties. This Petition was couched it. the aortae humble and respectful terms as the Petition was from the same body, which he had the liptionr of presenting to their Lordships three year* since, and wai signed by the mune description of litmus, by Peers of the realm , by great lauded pro. prior:no, by Clergymen of the Church of Rome, and by numerous other !masons of that Com ft was, lie believed, u faithful re presentation of the feelings of the Catholics throughout Great Britain ; and never did a Peti tion come before Parliament which had higher claims upon their attention, whether they consider ed the good conduct of the Petitioners, the decent stud respectful terms in which their prayer was worded, the nature and object of their claims, the importance of the subject, and the time at which that subject was brought forward. if these cir cumstances were empathic of creating a cliiiin on the attention of the House, the 'peseta petitioners were eminently entitled to every respect. He would apt now repeat the opinions he hail formerly urged on this topic, and the molivrii which, in Ins mind, ought to induce their Lordships to acquiesce in the prayer of the Petition; nor would lie anticipate the discussion of which notice had been given by his Noble Friend ('lie Earl of Donougliniore); but he would remarls, that the opinions which lie bad on former occasions unsuccessfully urged in the hope of obtaining their Lordships' concurrence, have every year been more deeply impressed end rooted its his mind ; and though hitherto they hail 'teen sinsucceesful its producing an inflyetice ou Parliament, yet be thought, from statements occa sionally made in the Mose on presenting Petitions, that they had nut been offered without adventage. The services of the Buono Catholics were univer sally uckitoisledgeil—them loyalty nod affection to their Sovereign—the liberal employment of that wealth which many of them had derived. from their nocestors,*hose names were recorded its the bright est pages of histoly us the establishes., of English freedum-e-(tieoef—eilwir exemplary conduct in every relation ief We, as subjects nod to citizens, were fully ackilowletlgrd; the offeioive opininin formerly imputed to them were openly disclaimed by themselves, nod were now withdrawn II their iiiitagionists; nod lie therefore should urge to the Noble Lord opposite (the.

The hardship of this case strongly excited the sympathy of the House. and lie was of opinion that the statemeut of it hail Annie effect in inducing the Noble Viscount opposite (Lord Melsill..) to intro duce the measure to which he last ellittled.— That measure relieved Officer* both in the army and navy from the necessity of taking I edam oaths previous to their admission, and placed the Catho lics on an equality with other gissemere from the Church of England, with the exception of the duties required :ry the Test and Corporation Act., het from the penalties therein prescribed they • were relieved by the annual Indemnity Act, as certainly as the mouth of March occurred, w racer successive year, He had witnes-ed t ai ' pr o g ress of that measure.
