Sold, by public voluntary Roup, within the Royal Exchange Coffee-house, Edinburgh, on WEDNESDAY, the 7th day of May, 1828, at Two o'clock r. m., in one or more lots, as may suit intending offerers. This Estate extends to about 3,830 imperial acres, of which about 2,144 are arable, 400 thriving belts of wood and plantations, and the remainder partly improveable out field, and partly fine sheep pasture, in the face of the cliff overhanging the Moray Frith, the southern boundary of the estate. With the exception of 81 acres, in the vicinity of the burgh of 'fain, the whole lands lie contiguous, in the parishes of Tarbot and Fearn, and are most advan tageously intersected by excellent roads. From the shores of the Moray and Dornoch Friths, by which the property is hounded on the south and north, supplies of ware are obtained ; and the port and fishing station of Portmahol mack, at the eastern extremity, affords every facility for the import of coal, lime, and other commodities, and for the export of produce, giving the tenantry also a great command of fishery refuse for manure. The Estate is for the greater part laid out in pretty large farms, in the occupation of tenants of capital and enter prise, who follow the most approved system of husbandry, and raise crops of wheat and other grain that frequently command the highest prices in Mark-lane. The farm houses and steadings are most substantially built, of suit able extent, and on the most approved plans. The Mansion-house, built by the present proprietor, is a commodious family residence, handsomely finished, and in perfect relcLir, and with coach-house, stables, and other offices, sufficient for an extensive establishment. It stands in a lawn of afiftt 30 acres, tastefully laid out. There are about six acres of walled garden, fully stocked with wall and standard trees of the best kinds, producing large crops of excellent fruit. The sea and land views from the house and grounds are most splendid. Of the burgage lands a considerable part has been and is now in the course of feuing for building—the burgh ra pidly extending in their direction. The greater part of the estate holds of the Crown, and may afford four free hold qualifications in the county. The gross rental, in cluding feu-duties, is 3,4001. The public burdens amount on an average to about 2701. Mr. Ramage, overseer at Geanies Mains, will show the property; and for further particulars application may be made to the Proprietor, Donald INPLeod, Esq., of Geanies, by Tain ; to William Paul and Lindsay Maekersy, 11, Howe -street, Edinburgh ; Messrs.

THE beautiful ESTATE of BLACK 1. HALL, in the parishes of Strachan and Upper Ban chory, in the county of Kincardine, will be exposed to Sale, by Public Roup, within the Royal Exchange Coffee room, Edinburgh, on TUESDAY, the 13th of May, at Two o'Clock, Afternoon, at a greatly reduced upset price, unless previously disposed of by private barrain. This Estate is at present let on old life-rent leases, which are expiring every day. It has been lately separately va lued by two skilful land valuators. By the valuation of one of them the annual rent is estimated at 1,850/., and by the other at 1,975/. 1 Is. 6d. There is an immense quantity of Fir-wood of all ages on the Estate, and agreat part of it is arrived at maturity. The average produce of the Woods for some years back has been about 8001. per annum, and a similar return may, with proper attention, be derived from this source for many years to coins, with out in the least degree injuring the woods. The rents have been most regularly paid without 1001. of arrears for the last twenty years. _ _ The Estate lies on the south bank of the river Dec, about twenty miles from Aberdeen, and eighteen from Stonehaven, to both of which towns there are good roads. The Mansion-house is most beautifully situated on the banks of the river, with an extensive lawn in front, surrounded by mountains, well wooded up to their tops. It forms the chief object in that delightful scenery above Upper Ban chory which ie so well known to all travellers through Scotland. The house is large and commodious, with garden, hot-house, deer-park, racing -course, and a complete court of new racing -stables, besides common farm-stables and offices. The approach from the Porter's Lodge near Banchory is about two miles in length, along the side of the Dee, and is one of the most beautiful drives anywhere to he seen, ornamented with the finest and greatest number of weeping birches in Scotland. The contents of the Estate is about 5100 imperial acres, of which about 1200 are arable, about 1600 green pasture, and the uncommon quantity of about 2300 wood of diffe r rent ages. The river Dee affords the most ample means of floating the wood, at a trifling expence, to Aberdeen. The Estate abounds with game. Roe deer are in great abundance in the woods, and occasionally red-deer. There is the finest sahoon-fishi n g w ith ro d i n t h e D ee . B anc k o ry, which is within two miles, is a post town. The lands of Blackball proper are held of the Crown, and afford a freehold qualification. The feu-duties of the other lands, which are held of a subject superior, are very trifling. The public burdens are moderate , the teinds in the parish of Strachan being exhausted, and those in the parish of 13anchory very small. For particulars, apply to Mess rs . R usse l l and Mansf i eld, accountants, 13, Ainslie Place, Edinburgh, who have authority to sell by private bargain ; to Messrs. Dallas and blues, W. S., 25, Frederick-street, Edinburgh ; or to John Brand, writer, Stoneham, who will give directions Ito show the lands. The KING purchased the " Mock Election" for .500 guineas yesterday morning. Mr. HAyuoN will continue his Exhibitio n open one week. The ancients believed that a trumpery fi s h, called the Remora, by fixin g on the swiftest galleys, could stop their speed. This has been the function of Lord Er.noN. He has been the barnacle on the social vessel which has stayed its career. He is happily scraped off now. —Examiner. THE WEATHER.--For three weeks past We have had but little sunshine in this quarter, but within the last eight days there has been occasional moist and warmth which have been favourable for vegetation. The wheat is recovered from the sallow appearance it lately had. The oat braird is strong, and the plants are abundant in the ground. The young grasses maintain the very promising appearance they had a month ago. The potatoe planting in this quarter will be completely finished next week if the weather continue favourable.—Scotsman. LONDON, TUESDAY EVNING, APRIL 22, 1828. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, of Sunday.) PARIS, Arum 19.—We find the following article in the Journal du Commerce:— " The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, which is to examine the project of law on the periodical press, met yesterday. It is affirmed that it has resolved to admit before it the proprietors and editors of journals, and to hear their observations. In the year 1827 the Committee of the Chamber of Peers received deputations from the booksellers, printers, and journalists, and passed several sittings in listening to their remonstrances, respecting the law on the press. The Noble Members encouraged them freely to give their opinions on the inconveniences of the project, and to propose their views, and they were pleased to say that their conferences had not been without utility to the Committee in its deliberations." A letter from Marseilles, of the 13th inst., says, that the first chips, making a part of the convoy from the west, have arrived in that port.

(Extraordinary Supplement to the Journal of St. Petcrs burgh, of the Zith of April.) MANIFESTO OF HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR. "By the Grace of God, We, Nicholas 1., Emperor and Autocrat of the Russian, &c. &c. d&c. . " The Almighty has again poured down blessings on Russia, by terminating by a glorious peace the war with Persia, the commencement of which gave reason to appre hend that it would be of long duration. " It was in the midst of friendly negotiations, and when positive assurances gave us the hope of preserving the rela tions of good neighbourhood with Persia, that the tran quillity of our people was disturbed on the frontiers of Cau casus, and' that a sudden invasion violated the territory of the Emperor, in contempt of solemn treaties. It was then necessary to repel force by force. Obliged to pursue the enemy through a country without roads, laid waste by the troops which were to have defended it—often opposed by nature itself—exposed to the burning sun of summer, and the rigours of winter—our brave army, after unparal leled efforts, succeeded in conquering Erivan, which was reported impregnable. It passed the Araxes, planted its standards on the top of Ararat, and, penetrating further and further into the interior of Persia, it occupied Tabriz itself, with the country depending on it. The Khanate of Erivan, on both sides of the Araxes, and the Khanate of Nakhitehevan, a part of the ancient Armenia, fell into the hands of the conquerors. , " But in the course of these rapid conquests the Rus sians acquired glory of another kind. In the midst of a war, the enemy's country became the theatre of their valour, and the safety of persons, and all kinds of property, remained as sacred and inviolable to them as if they had been in profound peace in the country of an ally. Humane, mild, and generous, their conduct has surrounded the Rus sian name with a splendour superior to that which victory beetairs. "It is thus that in eight months, after the entrance of our troops into the Persian territory, decisive exploits and important results have crowned our arms ; their success has demonstrated that PROVIDENCE defended our just cause. Covered by its mighty eyes, and considering peace as the greatest of blessings, Russia will never suffer it to be disturbed without inflicting on the aggressor just and severe chastisement. The road to new triumphs was open before as, but the moment that peace which we so highly value was possible, our only wish was to conclude. _ " Our object was to secure to the empire a natural and strong barrier on the side of Persia ; to obtain a complete indemnity for all the losses occasioned by the war, and thus to remove all the causes which might lead to its return. " Such, in fact, are the bases on which a Treaty of Per petual Peace was concluded and signed on the 10th (22d) February at Tourkmantchai, between Russia and Persia, the publication of which accompanies the present Manifesto. " For us, one of the principal results of this peace con. sists in the security which it gives to one part of our fron tiers. It is solely in this light that we consider the utility of the new countries which Russia has just acquired. Every part of onr conquests that did not tend to this end was restored, by our orders, as soon as the conditions of the treaty were published. " Other essential advantages result frem the stipulations in favour of commerce, the free development of which we have always considered as axe of the most influential causes of industry, and, at the same time, as the true gua rantee of a solid peace, founded on an entire reciprocity of wants and interests. " To Him who regulates the fates of empires the humble tribute of our profound gratitude belongs. Let all our dear and Taithful subjects, after acknowledging the striking proofs of the favour and protection of the MOST HIGH in the events of this war, offer up their most fervent prayers at the foot of the altars. May this peace—the work of PROVIDENCE—be firm and durable, and may His hely will assist us in preserving tra❑quillity on the frontiers of our dominions ! " Given at St. Petersburgh, the 21st March (2d April), in the year of our Lord 1828, and in the third of our Reign. (Signed) " NICHOLAS. (Countersigned) " Count de NESSELRODE." Here follows the Treaty of Peace, in 16 Articles, the preamble of which recites the reciprocal wishes of the Emperor of Russia and the Padischah of Persia for the re storation of peace, and for which end Planipotentiaries are named—viz. General Paskewitsch and the Councillor of State Alexander Obrescoff on the part of Russia, and Prince Abbas 31irza on the part of Persia : " Ist. There shall be perpetual peace, friendship, &c. " 2d. The Treaty of Gulcstan to be dissolved, and re placed by the present. 3d. Persia cedes the Khanate.of Erivan, on either side of the Araxes, and the Khanate of Nakhitchevan ; and all the public documents connected with those two provinces shall be delivered within six months. " 4th. Details, with great minuteness, the future iron tier line between the two empires. It begins at the point of the Ottoman States, the nearest to Little Ararat, and crosses that mountain to the source of the Lower Karas— son, follows the source of that river, till it falls into the Araxes opposite Cherour, and then follows the course of the latter river as far as to the fortress Abbas-Abad. " This fortress, situated on the right bank, together with the surrounding country to the extent of three wersts and a half, is to belong to Russia. The frontier line then again f:,llows the course of the Araxes as far as twenty cane wersts beyond the ford of Jedihoulouk, from which point a straight line is to be drawn across the plai❑ of Monghaw to the bed of the river Bolgarou, twenty-one wersts above the point of confluence of the two rivers Odinabazar and Sarakainyche. The line then passes across the summit of Djikoir, so that all waters falling into the Caspian belong to Russia, and continues to cross the sum mit of other mountains, observing the above principle, relative co rivers falling into tke Caspian, to the source of the river Artara, the course of which, as it falls into the Caspian, completes the whale line of frontier. " sth. The Shah confirms the above line of frontier. " 6th. Persia to pay an indemnity of 20,000,000 rubles. " 7th. Prince Abbas Mirza is recognised as heir apparent to the throne of Persia. " Bth. The Russians to enjoy the free navigation of the Caspian. The Persians to enjoy the same sur rancien pied ; Russia alone to have armed vessels on the same. " 9th. Ambassadors to be received by both parties with all due honours. " 10th, 1 1 th, 12th, and 13th, regulate the nomination of Consuls, and the transfer of private property, as also a mutual enlargement of prisoners. " 14th. No deserters to be given up by either party. " lath. An amnesty to be awarded by Persia to the In habitants of the province of Adzerbaidjane, and, if they should be inclined to emigrate into Russia, a period of one year is to be allowed them for the disposal of all moveable property, and a period of five years for the disposal of lands. " 16th. The ratification of this Treaty to be exchanged within the space of four months." The St. Petersburgh Journals contain no other news. FRANKFORT, APRIL 13.

HOUSE OF LORDS, APRIL 21, The Marquis of QUEENSBERRY presented a petition from Duna6ies, praying for the rrpeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. • The Earl of ELDON presented a petition from Sudbury 4gainst any further concession to the Catholics. Lord DE DUNSIANVILLE presented a petition from the hundred of Redruth, praying that if the Borough rf Penryn should be disfranchised, the right of sending Members to Parliament might be transferred to the Peti tioners. . . The Bishop of CHICHESTER presented' a petiticn from the Archdeacon and Clergy of the diocese of Chi- Chester, against any further concession to the Roman Ca- tholics. The Bishop of IVINCIIETER presented a petition from Alderbury, Surrey, praying - that the Test and Cor poration Acts might be repealed only so far as respected the Sacramental Test. A Noble Loan, whose name we did not learn, presented a similar petition from Wallingford. Several other petitions to the same effect were also pre *ented. Lord SYDNEY presented a Petition from the city of Hereford against the Malt Bill; also a petition from Rington, praying for the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts. Lord LAUDERDALE presented a petition from the Proprietors of a Private Madhouse, against the County Lunatic Asylum Bill, praying that they might. be heard by Counsel. against it. The Bishop of LICHFIELD presented a petition from the Clergy of Coventry against further concession to the Roman Catholics. Lord MELVILLE presented a petition from the Royal Burghs of Scotland, praying for a revision of the Cor❑ Laws. _ Lord TEYNHAM presented a petition from the Jour neymen Silk-weavers of Macclesfield, praying that Parlia ment might adopt some measure for regulating wages. Lord KING had a petition to present, the first of the kind which ever was presented to that House. It was signed by members of the Church of England, Protestant Dissenters and Roman Catholics, and all united in praying . for the repeal of every Act which imposed civil disqualifi cations on account of religious belief. The petition was full of the purest Christian feeling, and did the greatest honour to all who joined in it, although it did not contain so muchlingenuityas that presented by a Noble Viscount on Fri day last. That petition desired that all who took the Sacra ment in any church within twelve mouths might be eligible for office. The present petition had 110 such nice distinc tions, and was as remarkable for its primitive Christianity as the other was famed for the vain learning of the Greeks. But notwithstanding all its ingenuity it failed in its object, for it desired that the Sacrament should be taken in two kinds, meaning thereby evidently to exclude the Catholics. But still this provision would not go the length of excluding the Roman Catholic Priests whom we wish to keep out, whilst in fact it would only exclude the Roman Catholic laymen. The Noble Lord, after alluding to the sentiments expressed in the peti tion, said that it was signed by the Rector and other Pro testants, by the Dissenters and Catholics of Graythorne, Yorkshire. It was then laid upon the table. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from Dorchester, against the Catholics. The Earl of MALMESBURY said that, according to information received by him, there prevailed at Liverpool a practice of exporting foreign bonded corn to the Isle of Man for the purpose of having it ground into flour, and re-imported into this country without payment of duty. A notice, he believed, had been forwarded from the Board of Customs to the officers at Liver• pool, directing them how to act in case they should discover any instances in which that practice was resorted to. He therefore moved for a copy of the no tice sent by the Board of Customs to the officers of the Cus tom-house at Liverpool, respecting the practice of exporting Foreign Wheat to the Isle of Man, for the purpose of having it ground into flour, and of being again imported into this country in that state. The Duke of WELLINGTON had no objection that . _ the returns should be made; he assured the Noble Lord that having heard some days ago of that practice, he caused inquiries to be made into all the circumstances ; and if it should be found to prevail at all, it would be remedied by the Bill which would shortly be presented to their Lordships.—Ordered. The Earl of MALNIESBURY moved fur the number of quarters of foreign wheat exported to the Isle of Man from Liverpool from January sth, 1827, up to the latest period. The Noble Earl also moved for an account of the weekly returns of foreign wool imported from the sth Jan. up to the latest period. He under'tood that the importation of foreign wool within this last three months had been exceedingly great, and as it would be important that their Lordships should have all possible inforn.ation on the subject, he was induced to move for the Returns in question. The Noble Earl then moved for an account of the several sums received by the Treasurer and the Col lectors of Counties, on account of the County Rates from 1824 to 1827, both inclusive. TEST AND CORPORATION ACTS. - Lord HOLLAND moved the order of the day for the Committee OH the Bill to repeal the Test and Corpora tion Acts. _ . The Earl of ROSEBERY wished, before the House formed itself into the Committee on the Bill, to say a few words on the general principle and provisions of the Test and Corporation Acts, and more particularly as to their relation with Scotland. Notwithstanding what had been said on more than one occasion by the Noble and ~„.. Learned Lord who sat near him (LOrd Eldon), and whose opinion deserved the most respectful attention of their Lordships, he (Lord Ruselsery) still continued to think, and was ready to maintain, that the Test and Corporation Acts affected the interests of the people of Scotland most materially, and that their interests would be seriously in jured but for the annual Act of Indemnity. He ventured to say so, because he was by birth and property connected with Scotland, though he had always been a Member of the Church of England ; and he professed conscientiously to prefer the discipline, constitution, and Liturgy of that Church to the Church of Scotland, notwithstanding that he believed in point of doctrine, there was very little difference, if any, between the principles of the two Churches. As to the question how far the Test and Cor poration Acts affected the interests of the people of Scotland, it appeared to him necessary to ask their Lord ships, what would he the situation in which the people of that country would be placed, if the provisions of those acts were really carried into execution ; and next, to inquire what were the engagements made between the two coun tries at the period of the Union, and then to remind their Lordships of what was not only expected from, but given by the Sovereign of these realms, on the very day of his accession to the throne, and he thought their Lordships woulck discover that the grossest inconsistency would be the result of the execution of the Test and corporation Acts, which would not have been tolerated au keg but for the Act of Indemnity, which came in to prevent all those gross errors which would otherwise have arisen. What were the facts on which be had made that statement? In the first place, the people of Scotland under the provisions of those Acts, would positively be debarred from enjoying any civil offices in the southern division of the island, or from serving in the army and navy. A distinct promise had been held out to Scotland, under the articles of union, that both countries should enjoy the same rights and pri vileges, and he would remind their Lordships that his Ma jesty, on his accession to the throne, was bound to make a most solemn declaration that he would maintain, as the established religion of Scotland, the Presbyterian w orship ; and yet he was incapacitated from granting to the in habitants of that country, on aicount of that very re ligion which he so solemnly promised to maintain, any com mission'in his army or navy, or any situation of trust or profit, great or small. This, of itself, was an anomaly, the like of which, he believed, did not exist in any other country in the world ; and if such a restra int as the Test and Cor porationnorthern part of this empire , h e thou g ht he should rec eive , in support of his opinion , Acts was really in t l i p in osd aethonnisstihe inhabitants onoftheßigh o t n hi t e h : Prelate—who, the o ther day, in his admirable sp eec h, made some distinction between restraint and punishment— that such a restraint would be punishment of a very se vere and unjust n ature. Putting out of consideration, fot the present, the question how far the Dissenters residint4 in England were relieved from the Test and Curporatim: Acts, he held that the inhabitants of Scotland, having a religion established by 'law and recognized by the Sove reign and by Parliament, were entitled in strict right • - • • .sinee the Union which incorporated: kingdorna juts' one, to the enjoyment of every office, without being called upon to abandon their religion. Any thing short of that was a stigma, and to that degree a nuisance. So far from the people of Scotland not being aggrieved by those acts, they were even more aggrieved than the Dissentsrs in Eng land, - inasmuch as they formed part of an established church. His Lordship would no longer trespass upon the attention of the House, any further than by declaring his intention of supporting the Bill before their Lordships. The Earl of ELDON thought the question with re spect to Scotland was an extremely delicate question. If their Lordships looked to the Act of Union, they would find that the Scotch were extremely anxious to take pre cautions, which were mentioned in the Act of William and Mary, that no one should have any thing with them, un less he subscribed to their confession of faith. On the other hand, the English bad been extremely anxious to take pre-- cautions on their part, which had not, however, bi , " effectual. If their Lordships looked to the Acts of Union of 1787, 1789, and 1790, they would find what thoiss Acts would or would not permit to be done. All he wialisd to say on the subject was, that their Lordships would find. if they took the trouble to look into that Act, that it *was extremely and most cautiously provided, that with respets to Scotland no alteration should be made with respect to persons holding offices in that country, unless they pleased to confonn to the confession of faith, and a. test existed with respect to taking office in that as well as in this country. He saw with abhorrence that there -were to ho in this country academies and universities without reli gion being taught in them, because it was stated no one could tell what Christianity was ; and when he sass that persons holding offices in Scotch universities wens connected with these new aca.deinies - , he could not help es:- peessing his astonishment that they should ever have had the honour of holding those offices. It was stated with extreme caution, in the act of union s that the church of England was to be inviolably preserved. - But how? It was not merelv a simple declaration, it was a declaration that it should be preserved by the laws and statutes there mentioned ; and with respect to the laws there mentioned, it was not confined to them, but there was an express de- aeration that every law and statute passed in this country for the purpose of the preservation of the establishment of the church of England,—not merely for the purpose of the preservation of its worship„ discipline, and government, but for the preservation of the church itself,—should re-- main inviolate for ever. He was perfectly ready to admit, • that no legislator could legislate inviolably for posterity; but, on the other hand, the use of that word was a caution - to posterity, not, without very sufficient reasons, to inno vate against laws understood to be the fundamental laws of the country; and if there were those who could find out that the Corporation and Test Acts were not Acts fur the preservation of the est:ibliehment of the church of England, he could only say, that those persons had gone much fur ther forward in the march of intellect than the humble individual who bad now the honour to address their Lord ships. That march had certainly been both very rapid and very slow. Their Lordships would recollect that from 1669 to 1828, being pretty nearly a period of two centuries - , it had never been fouud out, by those who were charged to take care of the established church of England, except by one or two individuals, and it had never been fouud out by those who were charged with the interest of the church of Scotland, that the Test 'and Corporation Acta u ere a de secration of the sacrament ; but within one week their opinion had been entirely changed. , The march of intellect in the latter case bad certainly been exceedingly rapid, however slow it might have been in the first instance.— lt was very true, that his Majesty,. un his accession to the throne, solemnly declared to preserve the Presbyterian church ; but let it be remembered that it was equally true, that his Majesty undertook to keep inviolate the establish ment of the church of England ; and when their Lordships had on their table a thousand petitions—he knew, though he should not state, how they were obtained—stating that it was a degradation to any man, and against all prin ciple with respect to Government, to have such testo. their Lordships, he hoped, Ivould be so good as to let him remind them, that hie Majesty was obliged to take the sacrament, and before he began to exercise the Royal functions was obliged to submit to that which those petitions stated to be a degradation.— Why did their Lordships impose it upon the King, if they considered it improper to subject persons to it who tilled inferior offices? He • contended . .that it bad become part of the constitution of this- -country, as established at the revolution. Now, with respect to King William, it was very true that be objected to the test after he came to the throne ; but while'. he was Prince of Orange he never made any such objection, and when he did object, after becoming King, the Legislature would not hear of his objection. With regard to his (Loy; Eldon's) friends, the Scotch, who, having been his neigh bours, be knew something of them, he thought they had no right to complain, for they had certainly always had a tole rably fair share of offices amongst them, notwithstanding this test, so much complained of. The question, however, was this—whether, under the effect of our Acts of Parlia ment, passed for the security of our Constitution, we had os hail not more security than we ought? Now his opinion was, that the Church of England, combined with the State, formed together the Constitution of Great Britain, and that the Test and Corporation Acts were necessary to the pre servation of that Constitution. His Noble Friend; said it was time enough when any danger to the Constitution arose to legislate for that danger; but he (Lord. Eldou) could never agree - to that doctrine ; he would rather rest the safety of the Constitution on those securities with which it. was at present surrounded than run any risks on she chance of future legislation. He therefore entreated those who were the guardians of the Church to pause before they al lowed her to be stripped of those safeguards by which she had been su long protected, lest those miseries, from which we had once so happily been rescued, return, in which case they would have to look again to the restoration of the Constitution, such as it was established in the time ot Charles 11., and look, perhaps, in vain. Lord HOLLAND said, that what had fallen trent the Noble and Learned Earl required that he should trouble tilde Lordships with a few words in explanation ; and first he wished the clerk to turn to an entry on the journals of the 16th of March, 1689. The Noble Earl argued, that: one of the great objects of the revolution was to support these particular laws. Now, when King William came- down to the House to give the Royal Assent to the Bat for annulling the attainder of Lord Russell, he took that opportunity of addressing them in these memorable words I am, with all the expedition I can, filling up the va cancies that are in offices and places of trust by this revo lution. I know you arc sensible there is a necessity for some law to settle the oaths to be taken by all person* to be admitted to such places. I recommend it to your ear" to make a speedy provision 'for it; and as I doubt not but. you will sufficiently provide against Papists, so I hope you will leave room for the admission of all Protestants that are willing mid able to serve." The Noble Earl had said that the present objections to this test were the consequence of time " march of intellect ;" but let him look to the protests entered on the journals of this House, and he would find if the word " desecration" meant the same as "profanation.' that no five successive years had elapsed since the revolu tion, in which the term was not applied to this test, Noble and Learned Earl, in referriug to the cirOunt either in protests, motions, or in petition`.The stances of the Union, left out one most , importeert fact, which was, that on the clause being read, in which were introduced the Act of the 2d of Elisabeth and another Act, it was moved in the House of Commons that the Cone poration and Test Acts should also be named in it ; but which motion was rejected by th e House. A similar um tion was subsequently made in th in House, and was attended with a similar result. But , said the Noble Earl , Parlia - went was precluded by t h e Union, from repea li ng th ese laws. Now the words of the Act of U n i on were , " u n til Parliament shall oth erwise direct." Constitution, And then his Noble ‘°oir because oan u Friend said, that the Constitution of thi s country was con tained in those statutes. Now he (Lord Holland) IRA e sing, Lords, and Commons possessed the power ma king laws and stat u t es; no t th a t th e s t a t u t es w hen tior would it ish Constitution, leadsnchduiesTaNes and Noble iesActsr Friendthe Edward Constitution Coke- slido f thistro tcountrylive under We the l British v so t hof mama e srere the Con st i tut i on .

They would find that intellect had marched as far as that at the very time when the Test Act was passed, and still niece so at the period of William 111. Whv, if their Lordships were to bear what e4I the Great Whigs of that day, who were objects of so much admiration with his Noble Friend, said on the subject, they would find that their language was much stronger than any to be found in the numerous petitions which lay upon the table. They would find that they designated it as " a profanation, ' not " a desecration," perhaps for that term he believed be longed to the march of intellect—(a laugh)—but the same arguments were used then as now. He was surprised, therefore, to hear his Noble Friend treat the objections to it now as something new. As he before said, King William e. d. 42 40 2 9 40 2 9 40 3 70 5 7 0 0 ;0 ,0 01 90 10 0 0,
