In thejea lousY'hitherto entertained 'of the growth of Catholic- . ism, that jealous; was founded not upon the mere - doarine—not against it as a religion--but against foreign views—its foreign connexionsits foreign relations. But here the obje&iou is changed ; no danger is apprehended' from those relations'; the, Roman Catholic may go abroad ;‘ but if kept at home, if educated in the bosom of his country, then he will be dangerous this the doarine ? If it is, 'let it only lie repeated in order to be re futed. And if it' not.; if foreign connexions ere dangerous, why promote those views and strengthen those connexions by eiciling the Roman Catholic, for' the purpose of educating him ? As to economy, 43;0001. are voted to the Protestanft Charter Schools ; 21,0001. voted to the Foundling Hospital—that'is; with a ready hand, 21,0001. are given to the crimes of the depraved, and it is to be disputed - whether 13,0001. are to be given to enlight en and to iristrua three millions of a. bold and hardy peasantry. Why so much freely to the Protestant, and, why dispute the little to the Catholic ? Did not this do that which ,was_ complained of ? Did it . not encourage the rivalry so much apprehended, by setting up one religion against another, and. wAs it justice so to do ? He had heard it apprehended that the institution might tend to encourage the R oman Catholic Professors in that seminary, in the latent dissemination of 5 was it remembered'that that seminary is subjeEt to the controul of visitors, the Chancellor and the Judges of the land, and un der their controul nothing in that way could be ap piehended. He wished Gentlemen to look more largely at the institution ; it originated in wisdom, and would be produelive of good. tOrd MAnoN supported the additional grant to the .institution. . Mr. IPILBERFORCE" felt unaffeaed p.„n in offering his sentiments upon this subjeca. He wish ed, however, to be candidly understood. He was not, he confessed, one of those men who entertained those large and liberal views on religious subjeEts, in sisted upon with so much energy by the Right Hon. Gentleman on the other side (Mr. Grattan) ; he was not so much like a certain Ruler, of whom it had. upon a late occasion been so happily said, that he was an honorary member of all religions. He could not help saying,tbat he thought the institution in questiOn would tend to discourage the growth of Protestantism in Ireland. Lord HOWICK applauded the manly and inge nuous sentiments that bad fallen from his Hon. Friend ; they were worthy of his enlightened mind, 2nd worthy of the pure-religion of which he was - an ornament. It was, therefore, with the greatest regret, that he had heard from his Hon. Friend opi nicy:s upon that subje& not entirely corresponding With those sentiments. The Noble Lord then pro 'Ceeded to refute the arguments that had al ready been combated ; he said, that the institu *.tion in question had its origin in 1795 ; and read in support of its policy, the letters of the Duke of Portland to Lord Camden, then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, with his Lordship's, both in strong terms approving of the c necessity and advantgges of such ad institution ; he had to state also to the House a fad that had come within his own knowledge: in con sequence. of the deficiency of builditigs 'in the semi nary, a considerable number of Roman Catholics were. lately obliged to repair from that College 'to Lisbon, where they were immediately applied ,to on the part of Dr. Walsh, Principal of the Seminary at Paris, and a man of great notoriety, to come-and take,their education at his College. He thought that this single anecdote was in itself a strong comment upon the necessity of such an in stitution in Ireland. The Gentlemen on the Other side were willing to give the original grant of 86001. hut refused the 13,0001. required. He could not well understand this ; if their objedion against the increase was because of their hostility to the very principle itself, they should not only object to the increase, -but they should move to rescind the entire Resolution—and if they approved of the principle, why deny the means necessary for the support bf the establishment .? The Noble Lord concluded with adverting to the state of Ireland, and admitted that the system at this side, with resped to that Country, was radically bad, and had been deeply criminal. He rejoiced, however, that the period - was tiast ar riving, when England would acquit herself of her . old and long debt to that great and important part of the Empire. Mr. AI'AY said a few words on the same side,w hen the question being loudly called for, the original Mo tion o f granting 13,0001. to the Maynooth Seminary' was put and carried without a division. The Simple Contra& Debts Bill went Through a Committee, and the Report ordered to be received on this day se'nnight. Mr. HERBERT (of Kerry).said that he should op pbe the Bill in a, future stage. The Sierra Leone Company Bill was read a third titre and passed. Lord TEMPLE gave notice, that he would to morrow move that the two Aas for regulating the Trade with - New South Wales be referred to a Com mittee of the whole House. Mr. HOBHOUSE brought up the Report of the Su gar Drawback sill. In addition to the Witnesses on Mr. Paull's Peti tion, Barnes Herbert an d F: Eeatty were ordered to Adjourned. attend at the Bar.— MAILS. ARRIVED--I Waterford: Due-1 Gattenburgh, r Libbon, 1.

'WE yesterday stopped the Press to eornyntitiii.ate to the Public the substance of the intelligence con- t 'aired in the Danish Mails. We have this (lay t, 'aaed at length the particulars of . the tliffe.ent Ac-: tic its wiiichtook place betwymi tli Rtm;ians Fie tel - , from the 4th to the eth At a late hour last night We received Paris ..and,.Duteh Papers, the former to the 25th, and the latter to the 29th ult. They contain the 56th, 57th, end 58th Bulletins, which also give . an account or tlese Ac tions. We are prevented by want of room from commenting at length upon this niassof intelligence. The French, of course, claim the advantage in every one of the AEtions; but it is singular that if the Russians were defeated on the 4th, sth, 6th; and 7th of Feb. that they should have been in' -a conditi6n to attack the French on the Bth ; and if the Russians were so completely defeated on the Bth, it is strange that the French, instead of following up 'their ad vantage, should go into Winter Quarters. We shall wait with impatience for authentic accouuts respea ing-the9e Aaions, which, even from the French ac count, Could only have been, at the worst, drawn battles, ,and which, there is strong reason to believe, were highly, favourable to the Allies. We received this morning the following further 'intelligence from the Continent : ExtraEtof a private Letter from Hamburg!), Feb. 24 :—" A French Officer has arrived here, who was present in the Battle of Eylau : he describes it as the,most sanguinary oue that the French were ever engaged in. He makes no mention of the loss of the French. Letters received here from Berlin state, that all the 011icers who attended when 7'e Deum was chaunted, wore crape ,round their arms, from which circumstance it was inferred that some person of rank had fallen." Extract} of a private letter from Altona, Feb: 24. " According to letters received from KonigsbUrgh, BONAPARTE has employed all the latter part -of his 'stay at Warsaw, in endeavours to detach the KING : of PRUSSIA from his alliance, by offering him an honourable Peace. - He has also used every means to tempt Austria, by the promise of new territorial acquisitions, to join him against Russia, and assist the French to expel the Russians from Turkey. Both proposals have been most decidedly rejeeted by both parties. " The report that the Austrian Gen. VINCENT is commissioned to negotiate a Peace, as mediator for the Belligerent Powers, is certainly without fpunda .. tion. The . General is only charged to obtain BONA PARTE'S final answer with regard to the Austrian part of Poland, viz. Gallicia and Sodomeria. . " PriVata advises from Warsaw; dated the 14th inst.. say that NAPOLEON has refused to explain himself explicitly, and only ‘ amuses the .Austrian General with sqhterfuges. Baron VINCENT, dis-' gusted with this evasive condu&, had regularly made every fortnight a report to his Court, on which ac count the Austrian Cabinet has ordered all the troops which were to be sent to the Turkish parts of Hun gary, to break up from Upper Hungary for Galicia, where . there is now a force of nearly 100,000 regu_ lar troops. " Strong cordons are likewise drawn along the froutiers of Bohemia and Moravia. BONAPARTE funding that he could make no impression on Gene - - ml Baron VINCENT, and being obliged to leave his winter quarters in consequence of the alarming movements, referred the Baron to M. TALLEYRAND, who is to amuse him, if possible, until his return. " BoNAPARTE, has rejeaed.all, further negotiation; in favour of the unfortunate Eleaor of Hesse Cassel, whose territories,,it is said, will be immediately given • to the Grand Duke of Baden.. The non-commis sioned Hessian Officer, SCHUH MAN N, who was shot Ott Cassel for being a 'leader of the Insurgents, died like a hero. He would not sbifer his eyes to be bound by the French; and when the fatal shot pierced his breast, he was heard to exclaim—Long live the Eleelor Two designs against the life of NAPOLEON, it is reported, hale been :discoveied at Warsaw ; the one washy a General, who, on being sent for by t he Despot; shot him Self: the other ;was by. a Polish Lady; Who ‘'as dete6ted by FOUCHRT, the Minister of Police, v. ith a dagger in her sleeve."
