-,7 lsad been derived from the Catholic Association. lie would .ndeed have wished that the current of wise Administration had mot taken its course amid the mingled waters of bitterness which t awed from the Catholic Association— qui nunc Ore, Arethusa, tug Siculis confuntlitur undis. But it seemed that the Catholic Association was the parent of the peace of Ireland. And whence came the charm ? It was a singular peace certainly which came frem the pit of Acheron —a peace which came from a head which was disordered, be cause it was not nourished by the body.—(Hear, hear !)--That charm and talismen had produced friendship and hatred.— " Good God Almighty," said the ilightHon. Gentleman, " is it not sufficient to stamp that Association with its true character when we call to mind the opinions which it hag delivered, and wnich were deliberated upon only to be re-affirmed. Is this Catholicism ? lam sure it is not Christiani.y. I trust it is not the peculiar creed of any peculiar class of Christians ; for if such an infatuated error existed, I should look in vain for a cause. In the name of the Catholic population, therefore, I protest against their being identified with such an Associa tion—l protest against any measure which establishes E rnie.; to the Law and to the Constitution by the proceed ings of a Body which acts against the Cethulic people of Ireland, or which throws an impedielent oa tine discus s' on of the question. Does the Catholic think that nieilace and intimidation is the way to carry the measure—that he .ought to put arms into the hands on his meads—to threaten his :toes; and that he ought to allow the impression of the proceed ings of the Catholic Association to rcisu.in on the Eaglisli meld ? It is to this exult that the mischief has been carried; and it is our duty to free the Catholics of the incubus which rt.:iv rides them, and to rid them of those unsightly objects which shock an impartial mind." With respect to the difficul ties which surrounded the question, the Right Hon. Gentleman an,: he was not prepared to legislate upon them. The lion. and Learned Gentleman had used harsher expressions than is have been used on the occasion, and particularly with re nestl to the introduction of the letter s in the Rnval Speech ; but at prtaent he would only say, that the law which was to be in tonluced on the senject would be impartial in its operation. So utueh, then, for die Catholic Association, and for the line of separanoil which he wished to establish between that Body and the Ciaitolie question. The Hon. Gentleman had taken occasion to allude to bun (Mr. Canning) in a style which could not be tiiniundet stood ; and he felt himself placed in a difficult situation between the two alternatives—eof allowing these allusions to pass unheeded, or of putting to the test what had been said personal to himself. The Honourable Gentleman asked—Why had he not been able to carry a measure which would benefit the Ca ? and since no measure had been carried, it was plainly hinted that he should pursue the only other course, meaning rseignation of office, for promoting the objects of the Catholic Association. While he stated the arguments of the Honour able Gentleman, he begged leave to dissent front his pre mises. Did the Honourable Gentleman see no difference even on his own chewing of the case? It was said that the Mini ster did not venture on the recognition of the South American States when. the benches were in favour of the measure, and when he was backed by the country ; but lie would put a ques tion in return—What ought a Minister to do when lie had only the benches without the country ?—( Hear ! and laughter.) Supposewhe data of the Hon. Gentleman to be all true, h would be difficult to find a man of ordinary sense who would resign the tight ofjudging on any question which affected his office or his life to those who had some collateral interest in the decision.— ( Much laug.t 'T. )—Whatever the effect might be, he would deny one assertion which the lion. Gentleman had made. He had taken it for granted that the difference of opinion in the Cabinet on the Catholic question prevailed with respect to South America. The line of distinction which was attempted to be drawn was not a straight but a serpent line.—(l - lear!)—lt was certainly true there was a difference of opinion on the subject of Catholic Emancipation ; and that originated with many of its members, whose honour, connections, situations, feelings, and pledges, in duct d them to view the question in various lights. But as to that question,he was persuaded it had got intosuch a state a hich would prevent it from being effected without completely breaking up the present Administration. And if even this should come to pass, his opinion was, that if another were formed from the op posite side of the House, the lion. Gentleman might he satisfied with ousting him, but he could not sueceed in carryhig I;is point. —(Hear ! and laughter.)—lie (Mr. Canning) theetrnit that all discussion at present might he avoided by considering the extent to which the sentiments in the Address pledged the House. His Majesty stated that Associations existed in Ire lard which had adopted proceedings irreconcilable with the spirit of the Constitution ; and that they tended to excite alarm—to exasperate animosities—and to retard the course of national improvement. These, said, the Right Hon ourable Gentleman, were facts, and were not disputed.— Parliament was only requested to apply a remedy to these evils ; and the answer to the Speech expressed their readiness to do so. Unless the House were prepared to say that the Ca tholic Association authority was to supersede all Government, to engross all allegiance, to exercise all power to levy revenue, and to hold back the population—unless they were prepared to ley that'the power existed, that it was entitled to sit beside Go vernment, or to tower above it—then they could not be prepared to say that they refused the means which had been proposed to them, but would suggest those which were most advantageous to the country. The Address could not be couched in other lan oeaer. unless it affirmed the proposition in the Speech ; if it did, lie must necessarily consent to leave the Association in the full pi en itude of its power. (Hear!) lie would now turn to the other p i ne °ldle King's Speech, a more pleasing task, in which he w.n..11 be less niggardly in his praise than the Hon. Gentleman; eettlch echoed the announcement of the success of liberty and of commercial regulations to the mew States of South America. — The Hon. Gentleman was not n unfrequent speaker nor an unconchie one, having in the anise of his Parliamentary - life proposed or supported every innovation on the Constiten :eel, anti therefore when the Government carried a particular tee...1.311re, they were supposed to borrow the plan of it from tete Honourable Gentleman.--(A laugh.)—if therefore the (tevernment were struggling through a measure as if t:etv were bound up in a northern winter, and at length neezeadetli in breaking their bondage and arrived in a inece of safety, up starts the lion. Gentleman, and says, n• Oh, l was there before you."—(A laugh.) — The House might kecellect that in the reign of Queen Anne there lived an individual who was known by the name of the Critic Dennis, woe took an odd fancy in his till age that he wrote all the good Dns. A tragedy was acted on one occasion at the theatre when ennis was present ; and as the thunder employed in the piece V;l3 rolling away in great majesty, he started up, exclaiming "that is my thunder."—(Loud laughter.)—Now no step taken by the Government ever made a noise or a stir in the country, without the Hon. Gentleman claiming the credit of the than tier.—(Much laughter.)—All the commercial advantagei which the country has reaped by the repeal of the duties on silk or cso.ton. or the reduction of the taxes, and in fact all popular u t e a eures whatever, are selected by the Hon. Gentleman as his p , A.laliar handy work. But happily there is one measure which the Hon. Gentleman has thrown overboard, and has given over to-his Hon- and Learned Friend (Sir James Mackintosh); and lee (Mr. Canning) should like to know the degree to which tine ionensted to him ? (A laugh.) Still, although the lion. Gent. hatsollo wed though the thing is right in itself that it was wrong in poi n t of time. He (Mr. Canning) differed from him in Into, motif he piqued himself on any part of the thing it was that which respected the time of doing it. (Hear !) If question jtael been, whether these States should or should not be admitted into the rank of nations, the only points for consideration were etne time and the mode of doing so. nlut there were two ways itir attaining the same object: the first was the headlong and renkless course, which would have compassed the object im mediately, but which might have stirYed up unpleasant con sequences ; the other was the cautiseis and the prudent way, Which was done on principle and gave no objections to any party. The States of Colombia, Buenos Ayres, and Mexico have been recognised, and he had no doubt of satisfying the • house, that with respect to them and other modes besides that which has been followed would have been liable to great objec tions. In the first place, as to the question of time, and the in .. teeniel condition of the States—it was true that in Buenos Ayres • • ..teeny years had passed since a Spanish soldier hall been seen on „See :toil; and it was equally true that the recognition of its in . depentlence might have been made by any other Power after the ,conteet between the colony anti the mother country had ceased. But the Hon. Gentleman perhaps knows that up to a late period ant,. state of Buenos Ayres, or that which geographically or in ,common parlance went by thatname, consisted of thirteen or four leen Federate States, which had not yet been consolidated by ,any federate union. He asked the Honourable Gentleman if it Would not have been absurd to have entered into a treaty with o. Power which could not answer for the constituent parts which the Government represented ? It was necessary to know what ought to be considered as the place, and the town and the terri tory of Buenos Ayres, which was said to be the head of a dis *triet which went by that name. If the consolidation existed, -then the treaty would be signed. Colombia was of smaller 'extent. In 1822 the last Spanish soldier was sent out of the country ; but the fort of Porto Cabello was held for the King of : .Spain two years ere they were admitted into a separate existence. Jut after the expulsion of the Spaniards, Colombia risked her ,ealetence by dispatching an armed force, at the head of which was her Chief Magistrate, into Peru, to engage in the war carry ing on in that province; and if events had turned out disas- Arously for them, they would have become again a prey to the attempts of Spain. If they had been at once admitted into the .rank of independent nations, • thi s acknowledgment might 'ave Promulgated what was not the fact. In Mexico, the case was still clearer. It is not nine months ag o since an Adventurer f rom this country, who once wielded the sceptre n f that state, st rove to re-assume it; and if he had succeeded ' destroying the strength which had been organised, such dis tp.lliS3twn would have prevented it being recognised by us. it was dear, therefore, that the time for recognising these inde pendent countries was rightly chosen ; but if the point be mat ter of dispute, he did not think that the mode of doing it could fall under a like imputation. His excellent friend (Lord F. L. Gower) who moved the Address, and to whose talents he would not fail to do justice on all occasions, had ably eluci dated this part of the subject. Some might think that we dis played a mean and hucksteriwg caution in the negotiations with these States ; but, he begged all who thought so to recollect the conduct that was practised by France towards the United States of America. How did our act differ? The United States were admitted by France, not only while they held their allegiance to the Mother Country, but they concluded a treaty of amity and alliance with her while they were in hostile array against England.—(Hear, hear t.)—Now, we achieved our object after the war with Spain had come to a close, and after giviag every country the same advantage as ourselves. Even if the lion. Gentleman could have carried the point earlier by a little dexterity of proceeding, was it not better to keep the open and the middle path, and thus avert the consequences which might have attended the other ? How could the mode which had been pursued be deemed unsatisfactory ? From the beginning to the end of the transaction, was it not intended to consider the sym pathies and the honour of every party who was interested in our proceeding ? Was it not satisfactory to know that the archives of his office, it was made manifest that to Spain and to every Ally on the Continent the fullest information of our measures had been given ? Was it not satisfactory to know that we offered to Spain the grace and the courtesy of preceding us in the recog nition, and to follow in her trails at an humble distance ? And was it not still more gratifying to learn, that though we had gone alone, we said to every other nation that whoever should accompany us would go with us side by side ?—(Cheers.)-11e would tell the Hon. Gentleman that whether the measure be longed to his Learned Friend or to himself, or whether it origi nated with the country, lie alone claimed the merit of the time and mode of doing it.—( Loud cheers.)—He did not pretend to conceal that his conduct on our part had hurt the feelings of many—had injured their interests, and had excited anger and indignation ; but he entertained the sanguine hope that these passions would exhale in words, and that no obstacle would re main to disturb the peace of the world.—(.fear, hear!)—With out alluding to the ambiguous compliment of the Hon. Gentle man, or to his claims of merit, he asked nothing further than an appeal to the judgment of the country, and to its decision he would cheerfully submit himself. (Hear, hear !) Ile would now briefly touch on that part of the King's Speech which related to the treaties Letween the United States of America and this Country for the Suppression of the Slave Trade. It would be recollected, that at the 1 , : ;inning of the last Session of Parliament, a proposition was made to . the United states for this purpose ; the basis of which was, that both coun tries should allow a mutual and unlimited right of search. A treaty in these terms was signed by the Ministers of the United States ; but as by the Constitution of that Republic the Execu tive Powers and the Senate are joint, an obstacle occurred in the latter refusing to ratify the Treaty, unless an alteration in it was allowed. As the Treaty was ratified by his Majesty, and as the draught of it was drawn out by the United States, they had cer tainly no right to complain ; but as the proposed alteration went to destroy the reciprocity on which it was thunded, by refusing the right of search to ships which traded on the coast of America, and yet allowed that right to be exercised on the ships in our West Indies, it could not he acceded to. National pride and national justice were alike injured by such a proposition ; and therefore the course which was taken with regard to the ratifica tion was just this—America made the alteration, which was not admitted. It was then proposed that the treaty should be can celled, and powers were given to our Ministers to negotiate new Treaty, and agree to the few corrections which the Go vernment of the United States made, provided the original alte rations was withdrawn. The passing of the Slave Trade Act last Session, subjecting all who are engaged in the illicit traffic to the punishment of piracy, offers a test of our sincerity, and it now lay with North America to accede to our views for its more effectual suppression. He was not aware that any other topics, either in the Royal Message or in the Speech of the Hon. Gen tleman opposite, demanded consideration. Ile would therefore willingly defer the further discussions of those to which he had adverted until they were brought forward in a different shape. —(Cheers.) A Committee was then appointed to thaw up an Address to his Majesty, composed of Lord Levison Gower and other Meru . bers of the House. HOPS AND BEER. Returns were ordered of the quantities of hops grown, with the amount of duties paid thereon, for tile last three successive years ; together with a similar return of the number of barrels of beer on which the Excise duties had been paid ; also the number of peisons practising the trade of brewers in the United Kingdom, and such persons as brewed beer under the regula tion of the Act introduced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer last Session ; together with a variety of other returns respecting the minutize of the trade, of little comparative interest. The House then adjourned at Half-past Eight o'clock till to-morrow. EnßATum.—ln the Letter signed " Araicus," in our Firs Page yesterday, for "grant nation," read "giant."

SOLER QUIS DICER]; FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEB. 4, 1825. THE SPEECH from the Throne, of which we had yesterday the pleasure of presenting an ac curate copy to the Public must afford general satisfaction to the Country, however it may af ford topics for party differences. All the sub jects of essential interest to the State were touch ed upon, and in so guarded a manner, as not to be likely to provoke opposition, though it may be offered on sound principles. The situation of Ireland is matter of deep interest, and will doubtless employ the early attention of Govern ment, and lead, we trust, to a satisfactory result. The Catholic Association in that country, if it were only to effect the purpose of a release from . all religious disabilities, would be no more than could be expected from men who, differing from the national faith, are naturally anxious to parti cipate in the power of the State ; but as it is made an engine for the exaction of pecuni ary contributions viith the apparent view to assist their claims by force, the Association alluded to is an object of serious alarm, inasmuch as it seems intended to overawe Government. It may therefore lie expected that all parties, with the exception, of course, of individuals, will unite in approving of measures calculated to repress the aims or a power that is inconsistent wit h the authority of the State. With respect to the virtual recognition of the South Ameri can States, there surely ,can be no difference of opinion. They have establi,hed their in dependence, which can never be over-turned by the Parent Countries, and they should now be admitted into the rank of Independent Nations. The harmony that subsists between this Country and the other Powers of Europe, must be considered as a proof of the strength of the British Government, as those Powers do not at present,at least,confortn to our policy in acknow acknowledging the freedom of the South Ame rican Republics. There are other points in the . SPEECH which we wish to notice, but must bear for the present to touch upon, satisfied ht the mean time that a full discussion • will take' place in Parliament, and afford those lights which Hill guide the judgment of the People into a due appreciation of the general policy of their Government.

This was a rule, calling on Mr. Dowton to show cause why he should not produce to the plaintiff's attorney a letter writ ten by Mr. Dunn, containing. the terms of an engagement which he accepted, al l a f i o is r to a n r r e e f t u a s i a n l in t g o ii)leorfcoornpiy of f wlic t l i t ie thleettac tion was brought , and fearing that he might not accurately state its terms on the record. Mr. CLATursort now shewed cause against the rule, urging that it called on defendant to furnish evidence againstlimself, and that the case was distinguishable from others in which the same liberty had been granted. The co trl cr, however, made the rule absolute, on condition that 111 r. Elliston should also produce the letter received in answer, and that the defendant should be at liberty to make an affidavit to explain any of its terms. A strong south-west wind prevailed the whole of ‘Vednesday night, accompanied by heavy rain ; considerable damage was done in the eastern part of the town ; a house, situated in a court in Old Gravel-lane, had the whole of the chim nies blown down, and part of the roof ; fortu nately no person was hurt. On the river, se veral small craft were driven from their moorings, and, being drifted down by the tide, sustained much damage. On Epping Forest just beyond Loughton, two trees were bl own d ow n. The stage coachmen who arrived i n t own yesterday morning, say that the whole of the night was one of the most boisterous they ever knew ; the horses were in some cases almost at a stand. Se veral of the outside passengers lost their hats and u mbrellas by the high wind. FOR THE SUN. THE GREEKS. Ma. Enrron.---Every friend to liberal prin ciples and to independence must sincerely rejoice in the pros. pect that the Government of a country, whose patriotism and rational freedom may be said, with truth, to be indigenous, is about to adopt a line of policy, in respect to Greece, highly be coining the rank which the nation whose Councils they are ap pointed to direct holds among the Powers of Europe. Great, indeed, are the claims which the Greeks have upon the syn 3-• pathy of their Christian brethren, at a moment when they are engaged in an awful contest against the inveterate enemies oe the Christian faith. The contest is assuredly truly awful in its nature, since it may be considered as involving nothing lest than the existence of a nation with which all our most pleas. ing ideas are intimately connected. From the first dawn of reason, the History of Greece formed one of the chief sources of our amusement in our reading hours. We pored over its pages with inexpressible delight, and our youthful hearts beat high at the recital of the noble and the gallant deeds which are recorded in her annals. In our riper years, when more serious studie.* became the object of our attention, Greece again stepped forty with her poets, or her artists, or her historians, or her philoso phers, to fill our mind with useful knowledge, and to awaken in our hears sentiments of admiration for the excellencies we be held, and of gratitude for the many benefits that mankind had received from the native country of the arts and of literature. Three centuries and a half of the most galling and oppreSe sive yoke could not wholly eradicate from the classical soil of Greece that patriotism which once flourished there with unex ampled luxuriance. At length, the voice of freedom was. heard. It seemed to issue out of the mouldering sepulchres of her favourite children ; nor did it strike in. vain the ears uf their long oppressed, and now sunk and degraded descendants. At its sound, thousands of Greeks, casting away their bonds; grasped the avenging sword, and swore to restore freedom to • their native land, or to die in the noble effort. The issue Of the contest seemed, at first sight, scarcely doubtful ; for the sons of liberty were few in number, whilst that of their men. ciless oppressors was great. But the sons of freedom were de' scended from men accustomed to inquire, not what was the number of the foe, but where his host could be found. They rushed forth with undaunted hearts and with fixed determina-i tion, anti the spirits of their fathers, which hovered over their heroical battalions, were not compelled to lament that courage had for ever deserted the souls of their descendants. Many arc" the campaigns that have now been fought, and in all of them the once haughty and imperious crescent has been humbled to: the dust before the Grecian cross. Both by sea and by lion victory has constantly crowned the efforts of the Greeks ; and both by sea and by land have the enslaved Mussulmans been made to feel how keen is the edge of the sword, which a due sense of injury sharpens, and how severe and unerring are the blows dealt by the avenging hand of freedom. In vain has the Porte called forth its numerous host from the remotest parts 0 1 , its dominions, or courted the assistance of its most powerful Pachas, by concessions galling to its pride : defeat and dis.. grace have carried dismay and discouragement into its councils , and chilled the hearts or its defenders, in the same proportion that they have filled the souls of their opponents with the most sanguine, and we may now venture to say it, the best founded , hopes of their ultimate success. And with a glad heart will every liberal mind hail such success ; and see Greece, once more, take her place as a nation amongst the nations of Europe, go perhaps, once more blaze forth with superior splendour in the field of learning. Unfortunately for the Greeks, the principles upon which the Holy Alliance was founded, proved injurious to their cause.---• To the Holy Allies it mattered not that the Greeks were Chri° - tians, striving to throw off the yoke of the most inveterate ene; mies of Christianity; and still less that they were an oppressed people, making one last, one desperate effort, to recover an in dependence of which the sword of the Mussulmans had alone deprived them. No, it was enough that they had been tend'' dered as subjects of the Porte, no matter how the latter had se' quired its authority, to render them objects of jealousy, and even of hatred, to Governments, bound in close union for the purPo 66 " of stiffing the flames of independence which they felt appre" hensive would- burst forth amongst their own subjects. The Greeks, nay surely we may add, the liberal-minded of all ogy tions, had the mortification to see the host of these foes brough t from distant countries to effect their destruction, in vessels bearing the . flageof Christian nations ! The eleventh and the succeeding - -centuries, ages of comparative barbarism, had witnessedinnu' . merable bands of Christians, united with re Greeks against the Mussulmans ; and to the disgrace of the nineteenth century be it said, that Christians were now seen aiding these same 3111 5 " sulmans, to oppress their fellow Christians ! Let us hope that we may, at length, hail the .dawn of brighter day, of one more congenial to the feelings.which no ct ; generally prevail. .Let us hope that the enlightened policy - o' the British Cabinet, of the only Cabinet not infected' with, or influenced by, the principles upon which the Holy Alliance i s founded, will at length adopt a line of policy not less honour able to the nation than it may prove advantageous to the aeon' try. Nay, more, let us hope that the Holy Allies thetnaelve l4 . mindful of the respectable name they have bestowed upon thel r . associations, will at length perceive that there is nothing. 1 1 ‘..1 e . in dooming a nation to slavery and death, and still less, in as° ing the enemies of their faith, to oppress or to extermins ° thousands of their fellow Christians.
