In conclusion, the Noble Duke observed, that though deeply sensible of the import ance of the principle of the measure, yet, if it did not come from the Committee with full securities, he could not give it his further support. The Earl of CLANCARTY said, there were one or two points to which, as they had not been adverted to by other Noble Lords, he would -briefly call the attention of their Lordships—he meant the time and the occasion of the introduction of this measure. He could assure their Lordships that be was not at anytime an exclusionist ; on the contrary, he was always desirous, whenever the pro per time should arrive, to take into consideration the dis abilities affecting the Roman Catholics, with a view to their removal as far as might be consistent with the secu rity of our Protestant Constitution in Church and State. But so very differently did different men view the same things, that he owned that tlse very 'circumstance. which induced some Noble Lords to support the present measure, were those which'urged hiM to oppose it. He alluded to the recent conduct of the Catholics in general through the country. He said of all, becaute' . most of them had ac ceded to the conduct of the Catholic 'Association, all of them bad acquiesced in it, and by none of them was it disavowed.—(Hear, hear. )—That conduct, he owned, bad greatly weakened his desire to extend to the Catholics' any greater share of political power than they already possessed. Since his entrance into public life, he bad adhered: to the principles of a great statesman, who had•laid it doWn as a rule that•the admission of Roman Catholics to political power should, in the first place, be dependent on the good behaviour of that body, so as to make it safe to admit them ; and next, upon what he was sure would be con sequent upon that behaviour—upon the anxious desire of the great majority of the people that such admission to power should be granted. Nuw at the present day the very reverse of this took place. They had first the con duct of 'the Catholic Association—that misbegotten mon ster, whose acts had never been disavowed by any of the same community—a body which he would say had not only not been opposed by his Majesty's servants in Ireland, but (and he said it without intending to snake a charge on any individual) which had latterly been encouraged in that country. This led him to advert to what had fallen from a Noble Marquis on a former evening—he was so confused about days, that he could not say on which day of the discussion it was, but—he meant the Noble Marquis (An glesea) who had lately presided ever hie Majesty's Govern ment in Ireland. That Noble Marquis had said, that he would plead not guilty to the charge of having given en couragement to the Catholic Association. Now it ap peared to him (Lord Clancarty), that the opinions of many in the country as to that point would rest on the answers which the Noble Marquis might give to a few questions which he, without meaning any disrespect, would beg to put to him. He would therefore ask the Noble Marquis, whether he had not exercised the highest prerogative of the Crown, in liberating from a large portion of a punish ment which had been justly inflicted upon him an officer of that Association ? He would ask whether that libera tion was founded on the report of the Judge who had pre sided at the trial,—whether their report was favourable to the convicted party or unfavour.7.lde,—whether the report of physicians had not been resorted to, the report of the Judge net being considered sufficiently favourable? He would also ask whether, before the liberation of that per son, any apology had been required from him, to the two highly respectable Magistrates whom he had grossly in suited, and who had prosecuted him at a very consider able expense ; and, above all, he would ask the Noble Alarquis whether any security had been required for the future good behaviour of the person so liberated? He did not mean - to say, that the Noble Marquis could not give a satisfactory answer to each and all of these questions, but he (Lord Clancarty) must say, that unless such answers were given, he did not think that the Noble Lorl could be acquitted of hav ing encouraged the Catholic Association in Ireland. It should be recollected that this person was the envoy from the Association to this country—that he was the organ through whom they made their communications here, and that he was in all respects identified with" the proceedings of that body. The Noble Marquis had said that the Go vernraent of Ireland possessed a responsibility as the ser vants of the Crown, and that they had acted upon that responsibility. That was true; but it did not alter the merits of the case to which he adverted. 'He would ask, what had been the consequence of the apathy of 'Govern ment in Ireland during the last five years which he (Lord Clancarty) had resided in that country ? Was it not that his Majesty's authority was in a state of abeyance there?— that the monster of the Association had grown up to such a s i ze as even to astound those by whorls it was reared ? And yet now their Lordships were holding out, as it were, a proclamation for ever of the highest rewards for such seditious conduct.—(Hear )—He would not ,trespass longer on the attention of their Lordships, but merely to add, that the provisions of this Bill left all the mischiefs which before existed just as it found them.—(Hear, hear.) —They did not at all grapple with the real danger, or suf ficiently support the principle, that the power of the King, Lords. and Commons, should be supreme in the country. The Noble Duke (Wellington) had told their Lordship. that the effect of this Bill would be to promote the peace and prosperity of the country. He sincerely hoped that the antivipations of the Noble Duke might be realized in that respect; and he could assure him, that, thßt however strongly he objected to it, on the grounds he "had stated, he would, now that he saw the Bill must pass, be as earnest in hoping that the expected good might result Croat it, as its most warm supporters could be.—(Hear, hear.)—He, and he had no doubt every zealous Protestant and loyal subject, would, when the Bill became part of the law of the land, exert themselves to snake it as productive of the desired effect as was possible.—(Hear, bear.) The Marquis of ANGLESEA said, he was little prac tised in the ways of Parliament, for he owned he had not paid that attention to them which from his rank and sta tion he ought to do ; but inexperienced as he might be as to the usage of Parliament, it did appear to him, that if he felt it his duty to bring a charge against any Noble Lord, it would not be by putting to him a string of ques tions at a moment when it might not be convenient to him to answer thent—(cheere)—and the less so when they had been put (as was the case in this instance) without the courtesy of any previous intienation.—(Loud cries of Hear, hear.")—He would be disposed to give to any Noble Lord whom he might deem it proper to accuse full notice of his intention, and of the nature of the charge, that he might be prepared to meet it.—(Hear hear.) — Their, Lordships were at that moment abouCto go into Committee upon a most important measure, and certainly it was not a time to put him (Lord Anglesea) upon his trial—(Hear, hear)—but he could assure the Noble Earl that if after the present measure should have been disposed of—for not a syllable would he now utter in the way of answer to questions so put—(Cheers)—but whenever the Noble Lord might hereafter please to enter upon the ques tion of the liberation of Mr. Eneas Macdonnel, or any other measure of his Government in Ireland, he would not only he ready to enter into the discussion and defence of those measures, but would be exceedingly thankful to the Noble Earl for affording him the opportunity,—(Cheers,) The Duke of WELLIIsIGTON—AIthough his Noble Friend (the Marquis of Anglesea) did not feel it his duty to give any explanation of the circumstance to which the Noble Earl had referred But first he would beg to re mind the Noble Lord (Clancarty), and the House, of the report; which he had before urged for submitting the mea sure before them--reasons, founded upon the state of Ire land, and paramount to any consideration of the Catholic Association. These reasons were referable to the safety and honour of the State ; the first of which might be sa crificed if the Government took no step, and the second compromised if coercive measures were not adopted for putting down a body which had become dangerous. Ilis Friend (Lord Clancarty) had lef# out of his consi deration that a most important Bill had been passed for elapsed after down i aftei the tha Catholic t body yhad A s 7 lb oc n i l a it t t, i7, to an ti t l l e a a t u n t o h n o t r l had authority yof Parliament before he (the Duke of Wellington) had intro duced the measure now before their Lordships, and which he felt it was his duty to snbritit as soon as possible after the first measure had been carried. But his Noble Friend bad Complained of the liberation of a person who had been Convicted of libel before the expiration of his sentenee. He would tell his Noble Friend that that step was founded upon ylie report mule to Government of the state of that individual's health, and that his life must be aterificed if his confinement were prolonged. The Noble Lord then at the head of the Government of Ireland had stated the circumstance, and his Majesty's servants would not have dune their duty, if they had not advised the course which was a dopted.—(Hear.)--But the fact had no reference whatever to politics, for it would have been done had the State of things In Irelaud been twenty timee went than they were at the ar, liecr.)—He beriOed his Noble Friend (Lord Clancarty) was personally interested in the circumstance to which he referred---(hear)--but that could have bad np weight, with the Noble Mavis at the head of the Government, who was acting in the perform ance of a duty for which he was responsible ; and most certainly the Noble Narcinis would have been answerable for the consequence~ if he-bad. no l t advised the come! which was adoPted hear.) —} 10. ing felt it necessary to 'state this, he could not help dept"` cating the introduction of questiotirof this= kind;' , -ti 016 delay of the important measure •before the Honseij'erit h which such questions had no connexion. ,whatever..--• (Hear, hear.)—Before he sat down he' won't!' surilfe r i as to what had fallen from his Noble Friend , (the Duke Rutland), for whom he had the highest respect. Noble Friend had suggested that Roman Catholicnt - abeu l ," be restricted from eligibility to the office of Prime Min': ster. He could assure his Noble Friend, that -he would be disposed to do any thing to gratify him not inCOnsiSten t with the principles and provisions of the Bill ; but he ano t be aware that there was no such office as that - of Prime Minister known to the Constitution. The person gene rally at the head of the Administration was the first,Lord of the Treasury, and for many reasons; which it ,was not necessary for him then to explain, he thought• that,a con venient arrangement, as the first Lord of the Treasury 109 more immediately connected with the finances of the corm try ; but the chief Minister, or head of the Administratio n t was not necessarily the fist Lord of the,Treasury. It W' s sometimes the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, of the Lord Privy Seal ;or it might be any other member-of the Administration. So that the Prime Minister could Doti)," well defined in the Act by mentioning any one of, those effices. But he thought the objection of his Noble Friend Was not well founded. The Bill before the Konen had made ample provision in case the head of the Administra' tiou should be a Roman Catholic, by taking from him a ll control over Church patronage, and confiding itr to hard., which roust be above all snspicion . as.to its being exereisce injuriously to the Church. It was not necessary for 'hi° to say more on the subject now, as the point would under discusion in the Committee. - _ _ Lord COLVILLE said, as he might not have again an opportunity of expressing his opinions before their •Lors!' ships, he was anxious not to give a silent vote on this meat important subject. The Noble Lord, after expressing O a regret at being obliged to oppose, in opposing this owe; sure, those with whom he had been accustomed to act, and under whose auspices he had entered public life, proci iad , v : to entreat their Lordships t o p ause before they pum a measure of a tendency so dangerous to the state. He woo' not oppose it, if he found in the Bill any equivalent for the sacrifices made, or if he saw that it would tend to the i lO provement or pacification of Ireland ; but he feared that would not be the case. He feared, that behind this would be found more Catholic questions,—(hear, hear,)-esand more agitators ; and he was the less disposed to concur in it because he saw that it was granting to agitation wha t they had so long denied to reasoning. But though he conscientiously opposed the Bill, he did hope that the eV pectatione of those who supported it might be realised. The Earl of LONGFORD said, that though he had be ' fore given his opinion on the Bill, he could not-allow .it W pass its present stage with a silent voce. The Noble Ear l then proceeded to complain of the country having been taken by surprise by the Bill, though he did not wean W impute any intention of surprise to his Noble Relation at, the head of the Government, or to any other Member o f it; but the fact was, 9 out of 10 in the House, and 99 , out of 100 out of the House, were taken by surprist" , f t the Bill. He also complained of the haste with which was urged through the House--a haete=which did not br . come the dignity of their Lordships' proceedings, or t°l great importance of the subject itself. It had been l a ' that this measure had been fr e qu en tly ag it a e e d i n focal" , Parliaments. He denied the fact; no similar Inea s "f e had been introduced to the Legisl a tur e —at least not d the manner and under the circumataucea of the preael s. The Noble Lord then proceeded to say, that so long sot general principles of human nature existed, so long'itr ° ' the Catholics look with a wistful eye en the• Church Po' perty of which they believed themselves to have been ant justly deprived by the Protest tuts:He then maintained the the question was of a theological as well as of a pnli tc ," nature.

The latter, however , w" , under the controul of, and therefore ended to the stIPP r. of, the State; but the admission of another oreanisod litiral body into the State, without being under its O i/ ur , troul, could not fail to be productive of uaischief. • could not look without apprehension at the extraordinart influence which the Roman Catholic Clergy exert over the minds of the Laity of every class.' Upon a recto' occasion, . when members of the Catholic A se p e iation ave ri a talking of a separation between Ireland classesod using other violent language, the higher of Catb ° ' lies .did not express their disapprobation of that•condeet, except, indeed, by silent reproof. What was the influent which had operated to prevent them from visiting su ag conduct with more , direct.and decided reprobation ? it could not answer what it was; but he could stateseb7 ; p i was not.
