'lt is hoped that on Monday they will have almoit all arrived, and that the business will begin. There will be on Sunday, after Mass, a grand parade in the Caart of the Thuitleries. The Ist., - 3d, 7th, 9:h, 10th, llth, and I le gions of the National Guard, are eager to imitate the example given by the 4th, 6th, and Bth, and they have equally made the offer of working at the fortifications of the c a pit a l, an d , of contribut ing, by a voluntary subscription, to the expeuces of the %var. Among the reports unfavourable to France, cir culated in London, those with respect to La Ven d6e are the only ones which have any foundation. It is to be remarked, that when ,they were first propagated in England, 'they were of the nature of predictions : it is true that some 'English fri gates landed at St. Gilles, near Sable, some chiefs of companies, and GOOD Birmingham muskets.— General Travot, being informed of it, departed from Napoleon, with three hundred men, advanc ed upon st. Gilles, and dispersed the multitude tvhieh'tlie ait;val of the frigates brought together. He posessed himself of 3,000 muskets ; the others had been distrilflited among the bands against whom the inhabitants of the districts took pa'rt: the tocsin was sounded in the villages, and they united to support the troops which form the gar - risons of the towns. Some partizans lately plundered two diligences 'bear La F'leche (Sarthe). They arrested also a Colonel of gen d'armerie. The Pope has quitted Genoa to return to Rome. We are assitreil that the nominations of the -Chamber of Peers will be made khown on the Ist of .tiine. 1. - nits, MAY 27.—The Imperial Count of Paris has mink a patriotic contribution of 5,000 francs.

The' Petition was ordered to be brought up, and being read, it stated the disabilities under which they laboured, and prayed to be relieved front the same It w a s ordered to lie on the table. CATHOLIC QUESTION. _ Sii 11. PARNELL, io riiiog to bring under the view of the 'rouse the Claims of the. Catholics of Ireland, would be as brief on the subject as it could. admit. In the last Session of parliament, the House had decided that it was advisable to take into consid era ti on t h e remova l o f t h e remain ing distptalifieatioris sinaer' which his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects laboured. The only thing, that frustrated this decision, was a question concerning ecelesiaitical institutions. Au that remained now to ,be COnSiderecr was, how this question could: be settled with the greatest satis faction to all parties. It ,tonic be unnecessary for hint therefore to d•xell on these great Consti tutional questions, on which his Right Honour able Friend, the _Member for Dablin (Mr. Grattan) to whom the Catholics must always look with fondness, gratitude, and veneration, had so often, so ably, and so elnquently exerted his great ta lents. The Only subject for consideration now .was. not whether the Catholic Clahns should be granted, but how and on what conditions, - or with what provisions they could be granted. It was to the conduct of the Catholics themselves, and to their manner of receiving the -Bill of •that Sesion, that the failure of that Bill was to be at tributed. This was the first time the house had an opportunity of fully discussing the question of the appointment of the Catholic Bishops. It was the ditty of. the opponents of-the Catholic claims to shew from when - cc the danger front them' -arose, before they required, that the controul over the appointmeat of the Catholic Bishops should be given to GOvertiment. He appealed to 'the past conduct of those Bishops, and instanced the rebellions of 1713, 17-15, end when they bad not only been loyal theMselves, bits exerted themselves - with the greatest effort, and often with the greatest success to preserve the loyalty of all the Catholics of the kingdom." Why then, if they had proved their loyalty_ at :that time, at periods of grinding oppression and persecution, I why should they not prove it now, if they hail no op-. pression or persecution to complain of ? • The . Catholic Church of Ireland was also very distinct' front the - See of Route; and - in nothing did 'the latter interfere with the former, but in marriages, fees-elf Clergy, and Cahonical institution. NOW as Canonical Institution was the only one of those points of interference which was supposed in any manner dangerous, lie would beg to ex plain this subject; On "the demise of a Bishop, there were three names sent to Rome to have -a successor appointed _ from them, and a recom mendation -of the one whom the Clergy and Bishops of Ireland preferred. There was scarce ly an instance within the last century, where the Pope did not conform to this recommendat.. tion ; so that, in fact, it was not the Pope -hot the Bishops,Of Ireland appointed. lt bad :been formerly . feared that ally interference on the part of the Pope would be dangerous, be cause of having his person in the power of Buo naparte. Bat now this cause of - apprehension no longer existed. He was led to dwell something more fully on this point, because he felt that the appointment of Bishops was the only obstacle to Catholic Emancipation, and he hoped that the Catholics may relax something on this side, - and that the other side may advance to meet them. In regard to the Resolutions which he had the ho nuur to subunit to the House, he submitted for the" propose of conciliation, and to lay down clearly the extent of the CatholiC grievances and claims. Llany Protestants, -he knew, imagined that the Catholic _Claims went to some very subverting measure, and did they not imagine so, would be as zealous for, as they were now averse - to, those clanns. But his Resolutions would shew that. there was no measure required or proposed. No. thlog Was to be taken from the Protestaut, though 50mething wag to be - granted to the-Catholic.-- With regard to the matter of those Resolutioos, the three first - of them went to remove difficulties and restrictions with regard to property. Many imagined that the Catholics has nothing to.com plain on this pOint ; but this .was • not the fact ; for if the Catholic possessor of any free hold property did not take the oaths mid de dunitions of 1774 and 1793, be could lie stripped ef ILA property tar :iii r' of his family Who turned Protestetit and' infOrineti heainst An irrstatie Of this lately cleenrrial he Ire!au:: Witit 4 - itgatti io a pier Son of the re,;ele-o: uneee tootl from the gall.

The other Resolu t ions went to remove the difficulties and restric tions with regard to religious worship, marriage, and education. Eveu now religious worship was not wholly free to the Catholic soldiery. When Ile had formerly the honour to bring this subject under the consideration of the House, lie was told that there were orders given at the ‘Var Office to give full liberty c.o this subject to the Catholic soldiery. But lie held in his hand a letter, -writ ten within these three weeks from' a place near Cork, complaining that the Commanding Officer would not permit his Catholic soldiers to attend the religions worship of their own church. The Offi cer bad been remonstrated with on the occasion, but without effect. Inched, application Co Govern ment had been attended to, but without alegis lative measure to grant free worship to the milt tary, any individual Cominatoling Officer could de feat the intentions of Government on this sub ject. (ti the whole, he w as sore , if t h e Rehire should consent to embody the Resolutions into-a law, they would confer on the Protestants of Ire land the greatest security, and on the empire in general, the greatest prosperity. They would ex cite in the Catholics the most enthusiastic grati tude, and they %email unite every heart and every. anti in suppiurt of the Government. Would they then barter such Immeasurable advantages for ec clesiastical institution ? There had been as yet . . no danger found from ecclesiastical institut ion as it is ; and would a possibility of furore danger front it be putt in competition witjt a real union of both countries, a union Of the hearts and minds of the people. Under these circumstances, he would note, that the House do resolve itself into a Committee to take into - consideration .the Petition of his Majesty's Catholic subjects of Ireland. Sir 1. Cox HaraEsLEY dissenter! 10104 from the prayer of the Petition, which went to ask for unrestricted concession. He regretted he was not in,the House when the English 'Catholic Petition was tektite He was convinced there were not an nexed to that Petition any two respeetahle names, That-he wished - as much es any- man to grant the Catholics as much as could with safety I.?egrimted; he lilt it his duty to Oppose unqualified conces sion. The restrictions lie would wish to' retain were not restrictions on tee „Catholics or on the See of Rome ; but restrictions o n th e Pope .of Rome. It had been the invariahle practice of every country in Europe to impose iestr:etions tits the interference of- the Pope with its people ; yet those restrictions, which evei/ Ca:lndia countries thought it necessary to.impose on th e power of t h e Pope were desired to be renioved 'here. Was it any unjust or oppressive pOwet in the Governinetit to enquire into the character of the who was to be appointed a Bishop, and if that decimeter . was found improper, to negative his appointment. In every other state the Govern ment provided sonic guard over the, Clergy. Why should we not do so in this 'country.? 'the suits were abcant to be revived, and be was asked, what clanger there could be appreitendvd:fro!'n though there should be no guard.oyer them. It was said that J e s u it s ex i ste d in Russia,invl that ebere had been no danger experienced from then:. But the Empress Catherine-placed them under the surveillance of . the gret t Priests.. :111 stked this to shew the gross misunderstanding 011 this poiut. Long as he had been an advocate for comvsu,ions to the CatbolicS, lie had never contended for them on the score of right. He contended against the right. The House had a right to exclude or to admit the Catholics to farther concessions as it thought proper. - He would wish his Hun; Friend (Sir H. Parnell) had brought forward Resohltions fit to conciliate all his Milltsty's subjects, and he would gladly support them. But they were far from it. Perhaps -they may conciliate foor toil lions of Catholics in Ireland, but 'there - it tie (thir teen millions.olProtestants, who look with alea lousy to any further concessions. to the Catholics. Was not even the course the Hon. Baronet had taken reprobated by half the Catholic population of. Ireland ? Did the Honourable Baronet seri.: onsly approve of it even himself As to the oath mentioned in the Resolutions it was wholly abro gated. It was only imposed on those who accepted situations tinder the (:roars.. And this oath Dr. Milner said no Catholic priest could take. There vvas a.clause in the Hon. Baronet's Resolutions going to . capacitate the Catholics tca- fill all offices This then • would capacitate them to fill the Pro testant Sees and the EcclesittstiealC'.fices in Doc tors' Commons. Now, how was this at till rc coneilable with common reason I And the Re solutions•would also remove all restrictions and 'checks. Even Queen Mary left over the Catioi lies all those checks of premunire mortmain, etc. which the modern Catholics %%mold Ic.e removed. Ile had on a former Occasion called for several do cuments on this question, VOL there was but a single one of diem on the table. He would.not, however, oppose; going into the Committee, though he would not support it, because he did not see that it could produce any benefit. lie Avould not resist any thing likely to throw the least new light on the subject Mr. Yolue.a expressed his surprise at the.coo duct of the Hon. Baronet who spoke last. With a full view of all the duingerS which tvould result from granting the claims of the Catholics, he still would not oppose taking them into consideration. But he (Mi'. Yorke) could not follOer roe of conduct; and he would vote against going into the Committee. The gill brought io in the Ses-, sion - of 1813, was fifil . of restrictions, Yea lion , it was songlit to remove all restrictions.
