AVINDICATION OF CERTAIN PAS SAGES in the THIRD and FOURTH VOLUMES of the HISTORY of ENGLAND. BY J. LINGARD, D.D. " Dr. Lingard possesses the happy art, the curiosa felicitas, beyond almost any reasoner that we know, of placing his adver sary neatly and quietly—nay, even imperceptibly in the process__ between the horns of a dilemma. Of this there are two or three very amusing instances in the tract before us ; and it is remarkabl e bow easily—although he has to deal with opponents certainly '4 great ability,—his logical strength, like the mechanism of screw power, enables him, when thus employed upon sound and substantial premises, to extract the truth irresistibly, but with -ouf violence, even from the admittei positions of his antagonists. This faculty, applied to the investigation of doubtful transactions of any kind, is, it is needless to say, one of the highest qualifica tions which the historian can possess ; and when we find it united, all it is in Dr. Lingard, with the most indefatigable habits of re search, it cannot but serve to enhance very highly the acknowledged Willie of his labours."—Monthly Review, February, 1827. *** The Postscript may be had, by the purchasers of the for mer Editions, gratis. , 131 inted for J.

The Earl of LIMERICK presented a petition from the Roman Catholic Inhabitants and Protestant Dissenters of the Town of Preston, praying that the Roman Catholics might be relieved from the disabilities under which they labour. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in the absence of a Noble Lord, who was confined by indisposition in Ireland, had been requested to present to their Lordships a petition from the Protestant Noblemen and Landed Proprietors resident in Ireland, praying their Lordships not to grant any further concessions to the Catholics. The petition was numerously signed, but it was signed by no persons who were not Noblemen and Landed Pro. prietors residing in Ireland. In the petition, the places where they resided were mentioned with each signature. He himself made it a rule, which he did not then mean to depart from, on presenting petitions, to do neither more or less than to desire that the sentiments of the petitioners might be known ; he, therefore, begged that the petition might be read at Icngth. The petition was accordingly read and laid on the table. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY rose to pre sent a petition in favour of the Catholics, from the Inhabitants of the County and Town of Derry, in Ireland, which was numer ously and respectably signed. It was not his intention, in pre senting that and some other petitions which he had, to trespass on their Lordships' attention, particularly as he had, in a former Session, stated humbly, but honestly, what was his sincere con viction on this great and important question. With this question, the best interests of Ireland, her prosperity, and even the existence of social order, were intimately connected. He thought it need less, and even in bad taste, to add anything to what he had for merly stated, more especially , since the enlightened Statesman, in whose hands the Catholics of Ireland had, this year, principally intrusted their cause, had thought proper to withdraw the motion of which he had given notice. •He was not present to hear the in comparable speech which was made when the motion was with drawn, but he had read it, and he agreed with every word it contained. There were various circumstances which ought to preclude any person from bringing forward the question now ; but princi• . . J. B.

It was impossible not to see that there was no union among the Members of the Go vernment on this important question ; and, until there was, it Must be allowed to rest. He hoped, however, that his Catholic countrymen would' bear their disappointment with patience and resignation ; and, as their sincere friend, he would urge the peti tioners to do so. He had no conception that any attempt would be made by rebellion, or any kind of force, to rescue those privi, leges which the Parliament withheld ; but, if there were, he, as au honest and humble soldier of Ireland, would be found in the van to oppose any such attempt. He was persuaded that the measure the petitioners prayed for was the only one which could give permanent tranquillity to Ireland ; and he hoped those of their Lordships who opposed that measure would be prepared with some measure to still the agitation which now prevailed. He, however, would still recommend the petitioners to have pa tience and resignation, relying on their ultimately obtaining their wishes from the justice and magnanimity of a British King and a British Senate. The NOBLE MARQUIS then presented petitions from the Roman Catholic Inhabitants of the County and Town of Lon donderry, of the County of Monaghan, from several parishes in the County of Monaghan, and from the Parish of St. James, Dublin. The Earl of' WINCHELSEA conceived, in op position to several Noble Lords, the more the question was dis cussed, the more their Lordships would concur in the opinion, that it was impossible to throw open the British Constitution to the Roman Catholics, without endangering the existence of that Con stitution, both in Church and State. If the question were dis cussed in that House, he did not suppose it would be embittered by those angry feelings which had 'attended the discussion in ano ther place—he did not suppose that any of their Lordships would so far forget what was due to their high public and private cha racter, as to deal in invective against those with whom they were united in politics—he did not suppose that any such words would ever be used within their Lordships' House ; nor, if such words were used, did he suppose that they would have any other effect than to leave a more hostile impression against the Catholics, and to unite more firmly and resolutely all those who fought under the banners under which he was enlisted. He was convinced, how ever strongly their Lordships might feel on this subject, such terms would never be heard in any discussion within those walls. He begged to state to their Lordships the reasons of his opposition to the Catholics, and why he found it impossihle to concede to them the privileges of the British Constitution. He had yet heard no argument, nothing but mere asse, tions, brought forward to justify the concessions it was proposed to make.— He most conscientiously wished that this question should be set at rest ; it was a question of general policy, and not limited to a party. He meant to draw their Lordships' attention —first, to the principles professed by the Papists in former times, when they possessed political power ; and afterwards he should endeavour to prove that those principles Lad not changed, and _ Brown, Bath, haberdasher, April 6, at twelve, at the Court of that the of arbitrary power and encroachment, which first Commissioners—S.

Roman Catholics. He did not require any further proof of thie than the 'declaration of Pope Leo XII. himself, who, in hie Bull for the Jubilee. of 1825, displayed all the ancient characteristics of the Roman Catholic religion. When modern writers stated that this religion was altered, he begged to ask them when and by what authority, and at what period was it affected, and by what public decree declared and known to all the members of a Church which denied to individuals the right of private judgment ? In what public document was it embodied, and by what Council de creed? Their Lordships must know that no principle was acted on in the Church, unless it was sanctioned by . a General Council, and no such• Council had been held since the 16th century. By their decrees alone could their Lordships ascertain whether there had been any change in the Roman Catholic religion ; and since the period to which he had before referred to prove ita character, no such Council had been held. They were told by individuals that its character was changed ; but those indi viduals had interested motives for making the assertion, and he believed that the doctrines of the Romish- Church were as into lerant as at any former period. How little they had ° changed, he would shew their Lordships by the opinion of an impartial Judge, an eloquent writer of the Protestant Church, who- had, observed on the evidence of Dr. Doyle,- given before their Lord ships in a previous Session, that the object and aim -of the Roman Catholic priesthood was still, as formerly, to obtain and preserve power. He agreed with those who thought that a change in Ire-, land was most desirable ; but it was a change that should Latin guii,ll the party spirit, and release the poor, ignorant and deluded people from the power of the Roman Clergy. He did not deny, that among the Catholics there were r:any high-minded Gentle men; but he believed they deceived themselves when they stated, that their religion was changed. Such was the character and nature of Popery, that he thought it could not change, and the in dividuals who professed it could not be trusted to legislate for a Protestant Church and State. They were themselves deceived Ivhe treacherous policy of the Clergy of the Roman Catholic Murch. If these statements could not he denied, where could their Lordships look for security, if the Roman Catholics were admitted into power; or what security could they offer to the Protestants ? He saw none till they had released themselves from the thraldom in which they were held by the Priests; and as the first step to remove the fears of the Protestants, let the Catholics renounce their servile obedience—let them declare, in the words of the writer he had before referred to, it was not the Throne, it was not the House of Lords—it was the Church of Rome which barred their entrance into all the privileges of the British Constitution, and which, as it had first caused their exclusion, still keeps them out.—(Hear.) —lf this concession were granted, he (lid not think it would have the effect of tranquillizing Ireland. Ad 'flitting the Roman Catholics into political power, would no more tranquillize Ireland than their Lordships' breath could still the ocean. He did not mean to propose any measure for this purpose, but there was one measure which he thought would more than any other tend to render .the people happy, and that was, that the Protestants should, by every just and consistent method, endeavour to rescue the people from the state of degra dation and religious thraldom in which they were held. Let them try to unite all the Irish in the bonds of the same religion. He would only add, in conclusion, that whenever the question came before their Lordships, he trusted they would remember it was their duty to transmit unimpaired to posterity that Constitu tion which had made this country the envy and admiration of surrounding nations. If, whenever that time came, their Lord ships preserved the British Constitution unaltered, he did not doubt but we should remain, as we hail long been, the most ex alted nation on the face of the earth.—(Hear, hear.)—His Lord ship concluded, by presenting a petition from the inhabitants of Northampton, praying their Lordships not to grant any further concession to the Catholics. He observed that a petition of a con trary tendency had a few evenings before been presented from the same place, by another Noble Lord. That petition, he was autho rised to say, did not express the sentiments of the majority of the respectable inhabitants of the town. Earl SPENCER had presented the petition from Northampton, to which the Noble Earl had alluded, and, there fore thought it right to state, that the petition was signed by six hundred persons, some of whom, he happened to know, were re spectable persons. He meant, however, to institute no compari sons, between the persons who signed the two petitions. He had stated, that in the town of Northampton, as well as in other parte of the kingdom, opinion was greatly divided on this question.— On presenting it, he had stated, and he still thought, that 20 years ago, six hundred persons could net be found in the whole town, who would not join in the cry of "No Popery." He did not wish to disparage other persons, nor did he doubt the sincerity of what the Noble Earl had stated ; but he must be allowed to say, and those who, like him, were favourable to the Catholics, were as good friends to the British Constitution—(hear, hear,)—both in Church and State—(hear, hear,)—as any Noble Lords who opposed the admission of the Catholics to political power. The Earl of WINCH ELSE A then presented pe titions against the Catholics, from Canterbury, Bayham, Goud hurst, Hollingbourn, and other places in Kent. The Bishop of NORWICH had several petitions to present to their Lordships, which came from different persons, and contained very different prayers. To avoid confusion, he would divide them into three classes. The first class should con sist of petitions which came from Roman Catholics in Ireland— and of these lie had five petitions. One of these was extremely respectably signed, and was from the Roman Catholic Prelate and Clergy of Waterford. The other petitions were from dif ferent parishes of Ireland, all numerously signed by Roman Ca tholics, and they all prayed to be relieved from those penal laws which still remained in force against them. These laws appeared to him to be the disgrace of the country, and would be, he firmly believed, its ruin, at no distant period, if the just claims of as loyal a body of subjects as his Majesty possessed, were not granted, and something were not done to remedy their grievances. The second class of petitions was from the Archdeacons and Clergy of his diocese. There were three of them, one from the Archdeacon and Clergy of Norfolk, one the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Sudbury, and the third from the Archdeacon and Clergy of Suf folk. These petitions were signed by very learned and excellent men, and they all prayed their Lordships would grant no further concessions to the Catholics. It gave him much concern to differ from such Gentlemen, but his opinion was widely different from theirs. It gave him still more concern to find that such men could bring themselves to believe that any necessity existed to maintain a Christian Church by acting on other than Christian principles ; or that the safety of the State can he hazarded by uniting the hands and hearts of its subjects of every denomination for its support, by giving to them all equal laws, instead of alienating a part of them by laws which appeared to him unjust, cruel, and persecuting.—(Hear, hear.)—ln the third class there was only one petition, but which gave him very great pleasure to present. It was from the Archdeacons of Norwich and Sudbury, and other Learned Clergymen in the Diocese of Norwich. It was signed by many learned and excellent men sincerely attached to the British Constitution, both in Church and State. With the prayer of their petition he cordially agreed. They state that they thought the Constitution would not be so effectually secured by any other means, as by giving equal privileges and laws to all classes; and they prayed that their Lordships would re move the civil disabilities which still affect their Roman Catholic Brethren. Their sentiments were, he thought, more in unison es i all j u u just w hich no tionstimhwith the mild .eai livetlo o f s f it n e t dh other ipgi p iro e i ut t i s t o i l o fi with i n )o s eurtry oan t n h , u m :b p i oo r n o v— v e e a d lw l d. and tolerant spirit of Christianity. The petition was drawn up with so much temper and moderation, that he should beg that it might be read at length. After it had been read, Lord ROLLE said he hoped the Right Rev, Prelate would have no objection to the other petitions being read, The LORD CHANCELLOR saiq, one of these Petitions appeared to be the Petition of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Waterford. He hoped, that what he found himself bound to do in the discharge of his duty, would not be misunderstood ; but there was no Bishop of Waterford acknowledged by that House, except the Protestant Bishop. He thought, therefore, their Lord ships could not receive the Petition. Lord CLIFDEN said the Roman Catholic Bishops had been received by the King when he was in Ireland. The.LORD CHANCELLOR said his Majesty might do as he pleased, but he held it to be his duty, in the situation in which he was placed, to protest against their Lord ships receiving any Petition, except from the Protestant Bishop of Waterford. Lord CLIFDEN—The Roman Catholic Bishop 4 were all presented in their full Canonicals to his Majesty. The Marquis of LANSDOWN felt himself called on to state, from what had happened on a former occasion, when he had presented a Petition from the Catholic Clergy of Ireland, that there was no indisposition on the part of the Noble and Learned Lord to oppose the receiving Petitions. He recollected that when he presented that Petition, that, after an informality was corrected, it was received. He felt an objection to the Peti tion like that of the Noble and Learned Lord.
