. . . . iihious animosities in Ireland, and that the measure in question er 4 1.1 remove them. But the Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. rougham) has told the House on a former evening, that the more religious establishments approximate, the more bitter is their hatred.—(Hear !)—He has further, Sir, informed us of the miseries and contentions engendered by the difference of a single letter, and the blood spilt on account of the distinction between Homoiousian and Homoousian. The House and the flor-ourable and Learned Gentleman . may rely upOn it, that if they superadd to the religious animosities already existing between Protestant and Catholic, the additional excitement Of rival Church Establishments, 'the hatred will be abundantly eugmented. Dr. Doyle, after many other observations, as nerts, that the Roman Catholics are merely suffered to exist as _religionists. He goes on to say, that the Catholics give their e.eeat and toil to those who forge their chains, that they offer their hay and corn at an altar which they deem -profane— ! Cries of hear, 'hear, hear !)—these are the words of Doctor' Doyle—that they still are obliged to support their former parish Chapel, which stands as a monument of the right of conquest, and of the power of law over equity and pub lic good.—(Hear, hear !)--Further in this book we find that Dr. Doyle, after enumerating the manifold and grievous heart-vending evils to which the Catholics are subjected, says the Church Establishment is the greatest of all: the Catholics, he says, are obliged to pay tithes and church rates to that Church, which, with a whip like a scorpion's - tail, drew their blood, and had to contribute the bread of their famishing chil dren to the parson and his rapacious followers.--(Hear, hear !) —They have to buy bread and wines for the Church, to pay the sexton and parish clerk, between whom finally their very clothes are divided,—(a laugh)--so that they sometimes cast lots for their garments. I shall, Sir, not pursue the opinions or the assertions of Dr. Doyle farther, but apply myself more-imme diately to the question before the House. I hope, Sir, I shall be excused for stating objections which. I conscientiously enter tain, and which are the result of mature consideration. I shall come at once teethe preamble of the Bill, and state my reasons for believing the Church Establishment in danger. This is' my ceaviction, though my. Honourable Friend the Member for Armat - ch (Mr. Brownlow) thinks otherwise. I war not with the Catholic religion farther than it affects our Constitution.— I am persuaded of its illiberality, and while such is my con viction, 1 shall ever oppose its incorporation with the State.— ( Hear !)---It is not their doctrine of transubstantiation, as a religious tenet, that I object to. My Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Canning) says, we have others such as consubstantiaitOn ; but, Sir, we are not now legislating about one or the other, nor do we adopt the disclaimer of that doctrine as a qualifica cation for admission into office from any objection to it in a religious point of view. We merely call on the Catholics to disclaim the doctrines, as the best means we have of ascertain ing their religious feeling; if any other means equally effica cious could he hit on, I, for one have no objection to adopt it. If it were possible that we could ascertain the fact by simply —are you a Catholic, or are you not ? I would vote for its adop tion ; but, Sir—and I will speak it openly—there are doctrines of the Catholic Church which, in my mind at least, have a dis qualifying effect. There are, 1 say, doctrines of the Church which influence the temporal acts of its members.—(Hear !) I am free to admit that, in the progress of enlightenment, the Catholics as well as others have improved. I am free to admit that the Catholics have, in common with Protestants, become more liberal in their views, and lost many of their prejudices in. that change.---(Hear , hear, hear !)—Still these doctrines re main. I take them not from hooks, but as they were ad mitted before the Committee by their Bishops and others. And first, without going further; I think that a sufficient reason for not admitting them to a participation in the State is their doc trine of confession.—( Hear! )-1 feel, Sir, great regret, that there should exist, among any class of men, a doctrine so astound ing, as that if an individual inform another of his intention . to commit a murder, the person so informed dare not warn the man to be murdered of his danger.—(Hear, hear !)—I alsa admit, Sir that there are doctrines of the Church perhaps liable to objection for their spirit of exclusion. I acknowledge the farce of what my Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Canning) says of the Creed of St. Athanasius, though I most declare that my Right Hon. Friend used no small degree of sophistry . in the line of argument he adopted : but, Sir, I ask him, what is the Prac tice in the Protestant church ? how is it acted on ?—(Hear !) We have also our doctrine of absolution. Is not the practice in the two churches, however, widely different? I dread, Sir, the construction which the illiterate peasantry put on the doctrine of absolution, particularly when they are not allowed to look into those Scriptures which expose its fallacy—(cheers);—then comes the doctrine of indulgences, and the influence it must have on the practical conduct of men. For my own part I don't under stand it, nor has the evidence of Dr. Doyle satisfied me on the subject. He says, that now indulgences cannot be granted for more than seven years ; but whether for 7 years or 40 days, the doctrine, was equally unintelligible. Many Honourable Members have said, that granting to the Catholics emancipa tion will have the effect of quieting all animosities, and putting aa end to controversial acrimony. Sir, I think that measure, by creating a rivalry, would have the effect of-exciting religious animosities, which we have hitherto mainly avoided by giving to one a presidency over the other. I am asked, Sir, what are we sow to do ? Can we remain as we are, or are we to re-enact the penal code ? I say decidedly not. I have, Sir, as great a -disposition to listen to the just complaints of the Ca-. tholics—whenever I hear a complaint as to the administration of justice, I was and will always be ready to remove it. I be lieve I may appeal to my past conduct if I have ever been fa vourable to any societies hostile to the Catholics. It was be cause I felt so that I differed from the Member for Armagh(Mr. Brownlow) when he stated lie was an Orangeman. 1 always , lamented the existence of such Associations. Their existence was cited as a proof of the necessity of granting. Catholic Eman cipation. One ground of asking for it wasremoved. The Ca tholics, Sir, will not be satisfied with what they now ask— ' grant but these, and future concessions must follow. Great dis satisfaction has been excited among the Catholics by the rejec tion of the present measure, or rather of measures of a similar tendency at former periods. I, Sir, am rot accountable for the . feeling i never encouraged; hopes which I felt could not be realized. I am convinced the greatest portion of that discon tent results from the disappointment of hopes excited—excit. ed too in a great degree I am persuaded; by. the debates in this House. The Catholic Question, Sir, has always been used ITS the weapon against Ministers; it was treated as a party question, and the discussions on it conducted in a manner cal culated to do much harm.—(Hear, hear!)—l fear, Sir, I have trespassed too long on the patience of the House, but I feel I , would not be discharging my duty if I did not make one re mark as to the history of this question for the last ten years, and more particularly as to the securities offered on the part of the Catholics. The first is the veto ; and where is the Pro testant state that has not adopted some such precaution on the, appointment of the ministers of the Catholic religion ? What , say the. Catholics to this—" You dissent from us in religion ; shall we commit to your management what you are so much , intetested in subverting." To return to the suhject of securi ties,-when in Ith2l his Right Honourable and Learned Friend brought in his Relief Bill, with such securities as he thought indisuensible now • we fohnd all done away with—they are growing " " Small by degrees, and beautifully less." (A laugh.)- e N-ow they are below zero—(laughter)—but, Sir, I ohjeet to these securities ; I would prefer passing the Bill at °pee on the principle of confidence to retaining these futile - securities. Whet, Sir, are the-duties of this perpetual Com mission ? One is to advise the Crown.; and here let the remark, -that the Crown has no•discretion ; it must appoint them whether it wishes it or no ; then these Commissioners are to certify of the - loyalty of those persons appointed to Bishoprics in Ireland. What is meant- by the- word loyalty ? The construction put on 'it by Dr. Doyle is, that every man should be deemed loyal un - tii convicted before a competent tribunal. Another duty is to watch over the correspondence with foreign States ; that corre spondence is already placed under severe restrictions, though not put into force. - -1 mean not to advocate their revival, but I 'cernnot but feel that the"proposed precaution is a mere mockery, although my Right Hon. Friend might, and has, as the law now swills, incurred the penalties of a premunire, and subjected 'Mei:elf to the punishment awarded by several Acts of Parlia . mem But when we have so many formal objections advanced at die present time, it is proper that my Right Hon. Friend 'hhould know that the correspondence he has carried on is solely ley connivance; and that he, and all those who maintain these - communications in England, are violating the express provi sions of an Act of Parliament. I -wish now, Sir, before I sit down—although I am sensible I have already occupied the time of the House much too long—to say some ' thing upon the subject of the other measure which has been mentioned as likely to form a security to those who might otherwise be disposed to oppose this Bill. Sir, .1 do net deny that they are very plausible projects, and -I hope 1 may be conceived to approach the consideration of it with out being fully sensible of its vast importance, or that I have any intention of turning my ‘observations against it into an opposition to the Bill now before us, by any of those artifices which Mr. Pitt would have called efforts of sinister dexterity. - If I consider, u p o n examination, the measures good in them selves, I will support them, without, without reference to any thing connected with them. But, Sir, while I admit that, the law relating to 40s. freeholds has given rise to great abuses — while I am ready to allow that it has produced perjury—that it has a tendency to create perjuries, and that it has produced perjury—that it has a tendency to create perjuries, and that it isa great source of corruption. Yet I must own, from the present state of freeholds both here and in Ireland, that I have veay great objections td any measure which would go to deprive a bona fide 40s. freeholder of his constitutional privilege—a privilege which, be it remembered, is the only political one which de scends to the lowest classes of the people, and which, therefore, should be regarded with the greatest delicacy. But even grant ing that thh could he dine without injustice, which .I do not, still I am by no means satisfied that raising the qualification,' if it is not to be done, as I am informed, until the whole pre , sent race be extinct, ill be productive of the benefit which its supporters anticipate. Ido not mean the moral benefit, but that Protestant interest which this bill professes to increase. —Considering, then, the great addition of prosperity which we are told this measure would give to Ireland, and loking at the great majority of the people as Catholics, I am not quite sure that in somewhat less than twenty years the whole property of the country would not be in the hands of the Catholics. I am not singular in this opinion : an evidence of some weight upon this question—l mean Mr. O'Connell—has stated it as his opinion, that the disfranchisement of the forty_ shilling freeholders would add considerably to the Catholic in terest and power. My Honourable Friend considers that 'this will be a safeguard to the Protestant interests ; but he forgets that the same privilege may be still managed under a different tenure—that it may be attached to the possession of a house, and still retain the tenant in the same state of bondage, and the country in the same condition of pauperism. Unless, therefore, you are satisfied that the measure will produce all the good effects you hope, I say I should have very serious doubts of the Propriety of the change. I do not, however, commit myself by an opinion. I will give the measures separately nay best at tention when they come before me, independent of any other question with which they may be connected. I will now state shortly my opposition to this Bill, confident that I have already trespassed much longer than I ought upon the time and patience of the House. As I object to the paying of the Catholic mini sters from the funds of the State, and as I am by no means con vinced of the propriety otilisfranchising the forty-shilling free holders as securities offered for the Bill, and as I consider the securities contained in the body of the Bill wholly illusive, I must still hold my opinions that the Catholics should be excluded from certain high offices in the State—that they should be excluded from the Houses of Parliament—, and that the Protestant Constitution of the country, in Church and State, should still remain paramount amt in. violable. And Lroust confess, Sir, while I consider to conduct which prevails in a Protestant ouse now sitting, and de bating upon the propriety of admitting their Catholic brethren into a participation af their constitutional advantages-1 mean, Sir, this House of - Commons—and when I contrast that con duct with the proceedings of a Catholic House in a neighbour ing kingdom, constituted nearly alike to this one, and stow de liberating upon the propriety of punishing the crime of sacrilege with death—the crime of questioning, I believe, some rights and observances of the Catholic Church—l cannot, Sir, I con fess, avoid saying that the Protestant principles, as they have been hitherto maintained in this House, are the only real se curities for civil and religious liberty.—The Hon. Gentleman sat down , amidst loud cheers irons both sides of the House. Mr. BROUGH AM rose, amidst cries of " Question." After thepowerfill and unanswerable speech of the Secre tary for -Foreign Affairs—a speech which seemed, indeed, to anticipate all that had been advanced by the Secretary for the Home Department—that he would not be guilty of any at tempt to force himself upon the attention of House ; but for the protection of himself, and, numbers of those around him, he thought it necessary to say a few words upon those mea sures, which had more, than 'once been mixed up with this question in the course of the debate. He ,would say, then, that-this Bill, whatever hail been said to the contrary, with all its security, stood upon its ground, and totally independent of any other Bills, securities, or alleged securities, with which it had been said to -be connected. On that plain principle of the right, justice, and expediency of Catholic Emancipa tion,. he supported it. As to the othet Bills, he confessed that they presented to him a very great difficulty—a difficulty not a little increased by the different opinions he heard upon the subject of them, from all those connected with Irish affairs of whom he sought information. The Ecclesiastics were in variably favourable to the Civil Bill, while they expressed great doubts of the Ecclesiastic—while the civilians were favoura ble to the Ecclesiastic measure, they condemned the Ci vil. This strange difference was, .in his mind, a satisfac tory reason for pausing before he came to a conclusion upon these important measures. Whenever they did come before him, he promised to bring to them as much impartialy as if they had been wholly unconnected with any previous question. One of his great objections to one of the measures was his indis position to interfore with a great Constitutional privilege; the other was the tendency to increase the power of the Crown ; for he could not deliver his mind from the answer of an Hon. Friend, when he said pay the Irish Clergy, and you have a Government officer in every parish. The Hon. Gentleman, after some other observations, cnncluded by expressing his satisfaction, that upon this, probably the last occasion, when they would have an opportunity to do an act of grace to the Catholics, they would carry the question with such a triumphant majority as would produce an effect upon that House, where alone it had been hitherto rejected. Mr. TRANT rose amidst great tumult and cries of " Ques tion !" The Hon. , Gentleman seemed to be reading from a book, but after some violent gesticulations, and several at. tempts to raise his voice above •the clamour for a division, he was compelled to give way. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the Gallery was cleared for a division. For the Second Reading of the Bill - 268 Against it - - - - - 241 Majority in favour of it - - —27 Tellers for the Ayes—Lord Nugent and Lord Duncannon. For the Noes— i Mr. Goulburn and Mr. G. Dawson. The announcement of the Majority was received with cheers from the Opposition Benches. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at THREE O'CLOCK THIS MonwmG.

An im portant Burmese fortress has been carried by a division of the army, consisting of Madras troops, in which were found jewels valued at five Jacks of rupees, and treasure to the amount of 13 lacks. The Catholic Question was last nip ht carried in the House of Commons by a tnajority of 27, the numbers being for the second readiag of the Bill, 268, against -it, 241. We may presume, then, the contest is pretty nearly over in the Lower House, and that in due time it will find its way to the Lords. The debate was com menced by skirmishing parties of each side, pre senting Petitions for and against the measure, as credit to be which every n ow an d then gave ri se to obser vationsto the degree of at tached to them, and as to the manner in which they were got up. This partial sue. cess will give the friends of the Catholics spirits to persevere, but its enemies are no wayi . daunted ; being fully aware that a tougher and a harder fight awaits them in the House of Lords. The kind of reception the Bill will meet with there is altogether another matter, and if we may judge by the little asperities that occasionally shew themselves in that august Assembly when Petitions are presented, connected with the subject, we should say the debate will be long and ardent, and appearances at present bear us out in saying the Bill will not go farther this Session. Our principles have always hi therto led us to oppose the intended concessions, but of course, should the Bill ever pass into a law, it will become us to submit and to hope the best. A great deal may be said on both sides, and it is an extremely difficult task to decide between the contending parties. The Catholics owe this sturdy opposition to their own conduct, both now and in times past, for it appears to us obvious enough, that had they even for the last ten years submitted patiently to the law, univer sal acclamation would have given them long ere this what they now seek ; and, it is therefore to be hoped, that should the Picas penilentice be forced upon them by the rejection of the Bill, they will shew by their obedience to the laws for the little time that elapses between the rejec tion of this Bill and the bringing in of another in the next Session, that the qualified doctrines they allege as now forming the basis of their religion, are not adopted for the purpose of makings good show before their judges, but are the true and sincere belief of their hearts and consciences.— The time is now near at hand when the present Parliament will be dissolved and a new one elect ed. If this measure is to pass, perhaps it would at all events be better postponed until the new Parliament is assembled, because the privileges the Bill confers affect so large a body of people in Ireland. If, therefore, these privileges are called into action so speedily after they have been given, and whilst one party is elated with success, and the other proportionably sore with defeat, the heats, the animosities, the dreadful riots that must inevitably ensue in such a country as Ireland (never at any time famed for its passive obedience to the law) are past con ception ; and, besides, additional time will give to the Catholics additional means of proving, by their good and orderly conduct, the strength and truth, of their alleged attachment to their King and Country. The remainder of the. Paris Papers of Tues day arrived last night. It appears by the fol low•ing extract horn the Constitutionned, that attempts are making, under any pretence, to dispossess the holders of national property, who purchased it.duriug the French Revolution. __ PARIS, APRIL 18. 'An estate in the department of the Gironde, which was con fiscated as belonging to M. Simeon Leris, a - deported Priest, was sold on 14th Germinal, in the year 3, to M. Azevedo. M. S. Leris returned to France and resided at Bourdeaux, where he died in December last. He made no representations after" his return to complain of the sale of the estate. Scarcely had he closed his eyes, when his nephew and son, M. Leris, Judge in the Tribunal of the First Instance at Bourdeaux, applies to the Prefect of the Gironde, desiring to have the sale declared null as illegal. This magistrate pretends that his uncle, before dying, expressly conjured him ,to make his demand, which he supports on this ground, among others, that the sale was made to the detriment of Simon Leris, not f Simeon Luis, whence, says he, there is, in the proces verbal of the sale, a misnomer, and consequently a radical defect. Frankfort Papers to the 16th inst. arrived this morning. The Empress of AUSTRIA, and the Archduchess SPTHIA, arrived at Munich on the 9th. In the evening of the 4th, the young Princess of TUSCANY was baptized at Florence by the name of AUGUSTA FERDINANDA MARIA JOANNA JOSEPIIA, the Dowager Grand Duchess representing the King of SaxoNY as Sponsor. The Grand Duke, on this joyful event, ordered portions to be paid from his privy purse to 360 young women ; those narnea by his Highness will receive 20 crowns, and those who are designated by lot 15 crowns. His Highness has also granted a pardon to all 'deserters, and to all persons .condemned for trifling misdemeanours. By the Manhattan packet ship, which sailed from New York on the 25th ultimo, we have re ceived New York Papers to that date, and Bos ton Journals to the 9.2 d. It is stated in these Papers that martial law had been proclaimed at the Havannah on the sth of March, and that on the 14th the Marquis MAGNAN landed at Cartha gena (Terra Firma) from a French' frigate, with dispatches of the utmost importance from his Government to the Vice-President of Colombia. The Marquis would, it was supfrised, proceed without delay to Bogota. TUE G ItEEKS.-According to recent advices from Trieste, it-would seem that the Greek fleet, divided into several squadrons, is now in the Archipelago, where it has had several partial actions with different Turkish and . Egyptian ves sels, in which they have been uniformly success ful. A more serious affair is said to have taken place between a Greek division and an Ottoman squadron which left Suda for the purpose of rais ii, the naval blockade o f Patras. Ad vices from Alvarado mention the arrival of the British ship Lion at Vera Cruz with a mil lion of dollars for the Mexican Government, from the Contractor of the last Loan, Mr. - B.
