SMITH moved the order of the day for resuming the adjourned debate upon the Petition of the Roman Catholics of Ireland; which being read, he said, that he felt himself rather disagreea bly circumstanced, in attempting to offer his few remarks, after the able and eloquent speech of the Hon. Gent. (Mr. Grattan), who delivered his senti ments upon this subjea, last night, in a manner so highly impressive upon the House, and so credita ble to his own talents, as gave the country, in that instance, reason to pride itself in the circumstance of the union with Ireland. Whatever may he the fate of the petition—and, should the House even think proper to rejea the motion, he hoped it would be done with more moderation than was evinced by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Dr. Duige nan), who spoke so harshly the preceding debate.— A great allowance was certair'y to be made for the feelings of those, who.felt, in ;heir own persons, or through their islitnate conneairms, the immediate miseties of a civil war, with all the exasperations natutally resulting from them ; yet, making all due allowance, he thought that something more of tem per might have per!aded the discussion. Although the Hon. Gentleman alluded to embraced, in his long speech, all the topics connected with this ques tion, yet it seas evident, that he dwelt mere upon the charaaer of the Catholics, and their religion, considered merely as such, than on the genuine me rits of the subjea. He did not so much attempt to answer any of the arguments of the Hon. Mover, as he endeavoured to make the sillies% altogether odious. it was possible for persons to take too near, as well a; too distant a view of any subjea—and, by dwelling upon some particular part, represent tile %hole under the most improper prejudice—which, of all others, formed the very worst tuundation, as, iu the eyes of the persons so warped, " Trines light as sit, " Are confirmations wont , . " As Fools of Holy Writ." In his opposition to the measure, the lion. Gent. as he thought, rather unfairly availed himselt of two opposite sides of the question. He first argued, that the Roman Catholics would not take the oath prescribed, and afterwards contended, that if they did take it, they were not to be believed. To shew how groundless the latter insinuation was, Ire then held in his hand a paper, containing a list of 2000 Roman Catholics, who suffered severe penalties. sooner than take the oath prescribed by the ea of George I. ; and we had lately very strong proof of a similar reluftance in Roman Catholics to take any oaths, which their conscience did not approve. In no instance was this mere exemplified than in the suffering Clergy of Franc who wete so long living here upon our bounty, that some people even com plained of their consuming the bread necessary to our own sustenance; though, by taking the oaths prescribed by the Revolutionary Constitution, they might have remained at home in security and plenty. He would put this smhborn taa in opposition to all the antiquated decrees which might have in ancient times been promulgated by the nearly-forgotten councils of Nice or of Latern. It could not be supposed that he who professed himself a Pro testant Dissenter, could entertain any great pre dileftion for the Roman Catholic Religr ; but he could not give much weight to the extrava gant supposition, that the admission of Roman Ca tholics into Parliament would involve people of that persuasion to return the most worthless and mis chievous amongst them, in order to destroy the whole of our system, unless they were allowed an ex clusive patronage. It was ;in his opinion, wild in the extreme, to suppose that any thing of that sort could be attempted, much less effeaed under a Protestant King, PrtoestanfMinistars, and a majority of a Pre tenant Parliament ; supposing even the calculation to be realised, that the Roman Catholics m:ght be able to return 80 disaffeaed men into that House, was it to be concluded, that King, Ministers, and 558 Protestant gentlemen would consent to capita late to 80 rebellioas Itishmen ? he would leave it to the Right lion. Gentleman (Mr. Pitt) opposite him to answer such an observation. Whatever might have been the maxims held by individuals or bodies in ancient times, nothing was more certain than that the operrons of men were always mutable, and that nothing '.as immutable except the unerring laws of teason. He never would believe, that there was any thing in the disposition of the Roman Catho lics which would prevent them frtarn being wrought upon h good treatment, as well as other men. He concur red in the opinion delivele.l by a great man (Mr. Burke), that there was no such thi.sg as geo graphical morality, and that the influence of gond treatment and op/session must be the same in one country as in another.. If it were true that the Catholics were so constituted that no bene fits could conciliate them, there was no al ternative but to continue them in chains. The Bri tish Legislature llstered to no such opinions as those of the Learned Gent. when they adopted the Ca tholic Constitution of Canada, which never created any iiisasreaiose• or rebellions. If the natural cha railer of the Catholic Religion was such as had been represented, the effeas would hare been the same in Canada as in Ireland. lf, in Canada, we pursued, «S in Ireland, a set ies of confiscations and seventies, discontents would naturally arise from our apprehensions, and not from the religion of the people. lie could not conceive how Catholic pre judices could be more than those of Protestants, and in either, he knew no other means of obviating them, than by the influence of reason, and the con fident observance that no more oppressions should ha exercised. He WAS sorry to find that the discus sion of this subjech now appeared in lather an unfa vourable point of view, in consequence ot the deci sion which had been pronounced upon it in :mother House; bathe House f Com/leans should hear in mind its own independence. It was their duty to judge for themselves ; and they may, without va nity, cherish the hope. that should their decision be in favour of the Petition, it would ultimately have weight in every other quarter. He Amid lament. indeed, it the Catholics of Ireland were given to understand that there was branch of the British Legislature willing to take their respeafal Petition into consideration. For his own part, be was ex tremely desirous of having a 'united number of Ca tholic Gentlemen sitting in that House. His ac quaintance with Gentlemea of that persuasion was not very extensive; but, judging by those whom he did know, be could perceive nothing in their cha maer or condua which was inconsistent with the purest principles of religion. Mr. LEE--." The question now under considera tion appears, tin, to me. to be the gravest and most important that ever was debated within the walls of Parliament. k matetrally eriaereuriFthe Al of Unien, and should lave been maturely con sidered before that measure was adopted. I will not assert, that sa bile that plan was in agitation. this concession to the Catholics was expressly stipu- Lted; but I never heard it denied, that there was at least an understanding on the subja, Not having the same opinion of the benefits or that pen jest, As many others seemed is entertain, i had Vlntr, hopes that it might have been averted, till I ob served that these expectations were held out by the Right Hon Gentleman who proposed this measure. is a speech so replete with reasoning And eloquence, as would have done honour to the brightest era; ot Gtecce or Roma. Toe Rtin Hors. Gentleman sh en said, that the disproportion which before existed between the persons professing the Catholic And Protestant religion in Ireland, being done away by this measure, afforded a chance that the same ob. jeaious would not be made to the Cathnlies nay ag a Mil participation in the Lintish Constitution. Tura speech, mane of us knew, made a very deep im pression on the minds of the Irish Catholics; and. having carefully attended to all the d; bees which took place at. that time, I could not help observ ing, that there was no Gentleman in this House who made a stand upon that point, or endeavoured to obtain a pledge either way upon it.. I was also present in this House, when the Right Hon. Gen tleman was questioned as to his reasons for resign ing, and recollea his having answered, that he did so in consequence of being unable to carry a mea sure, which appeared to hum essential to the public welfare, declaring at the same time, that he owed too much to his lloYal Master to press the subieft on him, and that he shruld think it his duty to oppose it, if it came from any other quarter ; at present, though I am from principle determined to support the Motion since it has been submitted, I must now declare, that I think it wrong in the Ro man Catholics to bring it forward at this moment. I should out support the repeal of the Test to the Dissenters, if that. were now the question, though undoubtedly the argument ot numbers does nut apply to them in the same manner, as it does to the Ronein Cathelica of Ireland, who, in point of rights, must be acknowledged to be one short of their due proportions. When you coo sides that, on the lowest cAlenlat;on, the Catho lics of Ireland compose three millions out of Eve of the inhabitants of that cottetcy, and ate rapidly increasing in wealth and crrisequeree, you cannot shut your eves to their si:u4;ion, and your own sense must nuke itp your mind to grant what is impossible to be avoided. I freely confess, that I have nut the least ilea of the measure succeeding at present—and am very ave:l convinced, that the Roman Catholics tleenselves du not rape& it.. In their private conversation, they dn nut atieft to think, LA: their wishes will be. immediately com plied with.
