was not an object of suspliou. A course - was taken that seemed opposed to all ordinary legisla tion., as a great security was demanded from the innoxious, while the security exacted from the object of,suspicion was limited and diminished. De. PitlLLuttonz supported the clause. He thought the objection to it hypocritical. He begged permission of the House to reply to the objections of the 'lon. Member for Oxford.. The Catholics it was well known entertained doubts as to the oath against supremacy, and it ap peared by various documents that Queen Eliza beth herself had qualified that oath to accord with their conscience. The Learned Doctor cited a letter frotn Dr. Sands to Dr. Parke, also the 'Obserrations of Bishop Burnet, in support of his. opinio;t. - BFciirn was ready to make every allow ance for - the prejudices of those brought u? in the' tenets of the Established Church ; yet he not hut consider sufficient had been said to 'satisfy every reasonable' mind. And the Mouse should now consider that we had connect ed 'oars:lves with Ireland, and- were bound to consult her iuferestS ; and nu one could say that the _Catholic population did not .form such a pro port!on of the - people of Ireland as to_call for our peculiar consideration. NO one could contend - 1 - m- a moment that the Catholic...Reliion was de caing in Ireland ; oa the contrary, it wa.s in creasing, and he -trusted the pyesent measure -would pass, and would prove the first step in the new system of Government in that heretofore mis governed . country, to which England owed so much. Mr. 1 3 F,F,L • said that he should confine himself - to this simple question, whether or not the clause in question should stand part of the Bill. He confessed that he felt a - serious difficulty with re spect to that-clause, to which he %cished to call : the attention of the framers of the. Bill. • lie did not-mean to urge this objection as fatal-to the general principle. In• the -Bill of 1812 . it had been proposeo to reliete -the Catholics in &Man ner different from the present mode, and he saw • no objection ; in the present instance to . qualify • or , explain the, clause to which he objected - Without affecting the other parts of the Bill. —The difficulty with which he bad to contend was, that the clause to which he• objected, in.!. • stead of operating to the relief of Catholics, would operate to the exclusion of conscientious Protes tants. The Protestants had hitherto been re • quired to take the Oath of Abjuration, deny ing - all spiritual interference of the Pope ; and that oath had, since the Reformation, been re quired from protesta.nts as a -qualification for clay but now a new policy was about to be intro duced, which acknowledged the, authority of the Fopein spiritual matters.. .Thus every commu . nicittion with the See of Rome on matters of a spiritual nature was legalised. In the . Act of 170 certain concessions were made, certain pri vileges granted to the Catholics; but in no single instance were the Bishops. recognized by such a title;. indeed in that very Act,- -which provided for the education of the Catholics, the then Arch bishop of Ireland was simply designated the Rev. Dr. O'Reilly, and the titular Archbishop of Dublin was merely, in the same Act, termed Dr. Troy. In the Act of 1782 (an Irish Act) it was -expressly declared, that if any Roman Catholic s:culd appear in the ecclesiastical symbols 'of -4,i profession he should be deprived of all those - privileges to which he would otherwise be entitled. o. also in 1791, the English Act, in which an Act of Charles 11. was expressly recognised, every- order of the Clergy was mentioned, with the, exception of Bishops; and therefore it ap peared to him to be the policy of the law to ex clude the title of Bishop; but if that clause passed, it was permitted at once that the See of home should interfere in all. spiritual matters, and the title of Bishop was at once admitted; aad might not a conscientious Protestant, who bad denied the power of the Pope. to interfere in spiritual matters, object, and justly, to such a Last ? . He knew that he should be answered by the remark, that this spiritual power had always been left to the Pope, but be would show that the spiritual power delegated by concurrence to the Pepe., was of a totally different nature to that which it was now proposed to confer upon him. The authority of Archbishop Brumel had been cited on the.other side, and though he, who was a Pro testant'Archbishop, alleged, that by the Oath of Supremacy it was never intended to interfere with - the Pope upon purely spiritual matters; yet he - (Mr. Peel) was quite - willing, taking the whole of the Archbishop's argument, to rest it upon his authority as to the cases in which it was meant .to exclude the power of the Pope.— The .Archbishop stated three cases, the first, which consisted of all power of ordination and dispeosation, together with the administration of the Sacraments, was a:lowed to the Pope. The second, the power • of jurisdiction in Ebro con ..soientia, was also left to the Pope-; but there' vas a third, partly spiritual and partly political, the power in externo foro, and upon that third paint Bruinel rested what he considered to be userpatlons upon die part of the See of Rome. He admitted time power of the Pope to a certain ex tent ; but in many instances where it had been exercised, he. denied it. With respect to the' state of Canada, where the Catholic religion had been established, the Act, guaranteeing to the Canadians the exercise of their religion, directed, that as there were in that country 10,000 persons, to whom the _free exercise of their religion was permitted by capitulation, the Episcopal func tions Were entrusted to certain Dignitaries of that Church, but the . supremacy was reserved to the King, and. the Canadians, ten years. afterwards, in a petition presented to that House, admitted that the interference of the Pope was quite un necessary... These were the objections avhich, oc curred to him against the present .claims, and he considered that,the proper time to urge them. Lord CASTLEREAGH did - not rise to address more than a few observations to the House. Ile wished only, to. state -hi; opinion upon tho clause, without: entering into - discussion upon the latter part of the Bill. The clause then under consideration only stated what was the nature of, the test required by Parliament.— It involved a mere question whether the pre sent teit wits the best Parliament could oh- Ulu. lie Was gratified to find by the argument of his Right Honourable Frifud, that he was not disposed to oppose strongly the next clause, which related to the oath against Transubstantia tion, which in his opinion put Protestants as - well as Catholics-in a situation to avoid doing violence to their own consciences. If a Catholic could not conscientiously take the oath according to law, it was proper he - should take it in a mo-, dified form. The question was then, whe ther the modification to the oath was a pro per modification ? The law required persons taking the' oath to have uo. mental reser va'ion, and if Catholics took the Oath of Supremacy, modified so as to square with their conscience, the test was binding. He knew that many Catholics took the Oath of Allegiance in the form adopted by the Members of that House. At the late Election a Dumber of Roman Ca tholics voted after having taken time oath, but the terms .whiA were used in it was a violence to their conscience. No man who took the-oath of supre macy should have a doubtful Impression upon his mind. The Noble Lord then answered the state ment of his Rt. Hon. Friend respecting Canada, and observed that the objection to Catholic Bi shops was a mere bug-bear, founded upon the bad government of Canada. Catholics in no country had submitted to lay authority, and if the oath proposed in this Bill relieved their con science, the House would do right to agree to . it. He was of opinion that the slightest dith culty did not arise. The Noble Lord concluded very able •and argumentative speech by ex pressing a hope- that the Bill would lead to .an . association -of Catholics with Protestants. lle was convinced that nothing would tend more to restore harmony and good understanding be -tween ,Catholics and . Protestants than bringing mutual prejudices in conflict. The result would produce a .cessation from alarm, and ultimately they would be one people. 3lr. PEEL and Sir J. MackaNTosu explained, Sir J. NEWPORT rose, but the cries of " Question !" be came so general, that the Right Hon. Baronet sat down, and strangers Were ordered to withdraw. The Committee then divided upon the first clause. - For the Clause - - - 230 • • • Against-it 216 Majority Mr. BANKES gave notice that when the Committee came to a certain clause he should move an amendment, excluding _Catholic's frOm holding seats in Parliament. ,The ett<tinm,tx then reported progress,- and obtained leave to sit again On Monday.

THE SUN. SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUII lODEATI LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1821. The French Papers of Wednesday morning have arrived, the contents of which will be found in another column. They furnish no con firmation of the report in circulation yesterday, of a battle having taken pace between the Aus trians and Neapolitans, in which the latter are said to have been defeated. No information re lating to this important event had reached Paris eXcepting the particulars contained in the follow ing copy of• a notice posted up at the Exchange of that capital on•lVednesday afternoon, by the authority of M. Roy, the French Minister of Finance " There was. on the 7th instant an engagement. between the,Austrians and the Neapolitans. The latter had advanced'on Rieti, which was occu pied by the Austrians. They were repulsed with considerable loss. The Austrian army has entered the Abruzzi : many prisoners have fallen into their hands, and the greatest disorder appears to reign in the Neapolitan army." It appears to us not a little, extraordinary that this communication should have proceeded from the Il•Tiuister of Finance, and not from the Minis ter of Foreign Affairs; and considering that there are letters in town from Rome of the 9th inst. do not mention the battle, althonsh the distance tetween notne and Met; is not More than a day's journey, we are not inclined to re , pose mush confidence in this statement. In cor roboration of this opinion we have to remark that news of the battle might have been transmitted to Paris, partly by Courier and partly by tele graph, in eight or nine days ; and admitting that in the present disturbed state of Italy some obstacles may have intervened, we do not deem them sufficient to have caused a delay of fourteen days. Besides, the whole of the North of Italy is in the possession of the Austrians,, and they would ►►aturally take every means to spread the intelligence with the utmost rapidity, and even by that channel it ought to have reached Paris be fore the 2lst. It would seem that almost all the Students and the greater proportion of the young men at Turin have quitted that Capital, and are gone to Alex andria. The number of persons belonging to the class of citizens who have proceeded to the latter place, some armed and others without arms, is estimated at several thousands. The most perfect tranquillity reigns at Turin ; and the provisional junta had opened its sittings and commenced its labours. A report was circu lated at Paris, and obtained general, credit, that Genoa had declared herself independent. The Prince Regent of NAPLES 'has addressed a very spirited Proclamation to the Army, which will be perused with considerable interest. En thusiasm is carried to the greatest height through out the Neapolitan Provinces; and in the Abruzzi the volunteers were so nurpetous and desirous of marching to the frontiers, that it was with considerable difficulty upwards of 2000 of them could be induced to return to their families. The King of FRANCE gave audience, on the 20th, to the Foreign Asnbassadors, among whom were present those of Spain and Naples. His MAJESTY afterwards transacted business with the Duke de RICIIELIE:,•, and , in the evening received the Duke HE CAzics. The French 5 per ( entsOeft off on Tuesday at 74 f. 00 We understand they had fallen to 7N, but, after the public t don of M. Rog's Bulletin, rose rapidly to 77 fr. The following Article appears is the Dutch Mail, received this day : " BausseLs, 31ancit 18.—The ship Theresa, Captain Buser, sailed from Niewport on the lfith, with a large cargo of our national manufactures for the Black Sea, to renew our commercial connections, which have been interrupted for cen turies. This vessel is one of several which the merchants of Bruges intend to send to the ports of the Black Sea. This at tempt to open a new channel to our commerce is much patro nised by his Majesty. Mr. Faitbout Van Illariguy, our Vies- Consul for the Black Sea, goes on board one of those vessels." POPERY.-It is with great regret that we TV-- commend to the attention, of our Readers the further progress of Mr. PLONSATT'a Bills ; but we still hope that they will never pass the House of Commons.

' The tons and spirit evinced by this Nobleman on this and other re cent subjects, satisfy us of the correctness of Mr. MACDONALD'i observation on a f..mner night, viz. that the Noble Lord's visit to the Continent, and association with German Diplomatists, had spoiled the British Statesman ! !! Duets.—ln our Supplement to this day's Paper, (No. 5,) our Readers will find the remainder of the Report and Appendix of the Select Committee on this subject, with several ADDIT lONA L PAPERS and ACCOUNT,, which should in our opinion have formed part of the Appendix. These Papers and Accounts chew the great in crease of the Trade to and from the King's North American Colonies, and their importance to the Shipping, Manufacturing, and West India interests of Great Britain. To these Documents we earnestly intreat the attention of all practical men, who, we are convinced, Will concur with its in our views on this interesting subject. We hope the Colonists and the Ship Owners will give us credit for every wish to support them, satisfied as we are how truly important it is to the general interests of the empire, to preserve and maintain usAurigeto the Navigation and Colonial System of the Country. A. letter from Stockholm of the 2J March states, that a courier had arrived from Norway with intelligence that GUSTAVE:B Anot,rnus, the former King of SWEDES, had applied to the Storthing, to obtain letters of naturalization in Norway. The Storthing had transferred this request to the KING % in order to receive his sen timents on the subject., Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, the KING left town for Brighton.—After the Drawing-room on Thursday, tllO KING stopped to dine with the Princess AUGUSTA, and at eleven o'clock his Al.tJEsTv returned to his Palace in Pall-mall.

Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, in Downing.! street, kRENCII PAPERS. PARIS, MAIICII 24. Sews from Turin, to the evening of the 16th, has arrived here. The most perfect tranquillity reigns in that capital. At that date no intelli gence had been received from Genoa. The Provisional Junta had opened its sittings, and commenced its labours. The Pied;nontese army, actually on foot, does not exceed IN,OOO men. Of this number, 20,000 are stationed in the capital, and in the towns of Alexandria, Navarre, and Vercelli. The remain der aro in Genoa and other cities, and their sen timents are vet unknown relative to the Revolu tion which htt,S taken place. On the 1:Ith, 1:4,1th, and ]4th, a considerable desertion took place among the corps in garrison at Turin and Alex andria. Measures are taking to prevent the repe tition of similar disorders, and for causing the soldiers to rejoin their colours. On the 13th, 14th, and 16th, the Prince Re gent sent Couriers to the new liing to inform him of what had passed, and to submit to his approbation t4e Proclamations which the Regency had deemed it necessary to publish. The Duke de Castes leaves this city in two days for his estates in Picardy. After having made some private arrangements, for which his presence there is indispensably necessary, his Excellency will pass some time in London. The passage of Couriers to Brussels continues to be very frequent. In the night betweeu the 16th and 17th two Couri4rs proceeded through that city on their route towards Holland. _ _• Advices from Piedmont announce that the Prince of Cisterna, who was arrested at Pout- Beauvoisin, has been released at Turin by order of the Prince Regent. The Prince of Carignan° has also given orders to set at liberty M. Leblanc, one of the most active agents of that fation which seduced the regiments from their duty. Whilst under arrest, he positively denied all knowledge of the proclamations and papers found among his effects, but he afterwards boasted that he had brought them from Park. The other agents succeeded in gaining Alexandria. A report was circulated yesterday morningond was generally credited, that. Crenni had declared itself independent.—(Drapeau Blanc.) NAPLES, MAncu 2.

" Soldiefs,—lVe have assembled in the field of honour to defend the. throne of my august father, the constitution, and tha independence of the country. In combating for the ae -sa cred objects, you will acquire the most solann rights to the gratitude and admiration of Europe, all eyes in which are tied upon y0u.... - " Faithful to our oaths, we were reposing tranquilly under the shade of our laws, resimting all other nations, and in no respect interfering in their affairs. My individual happiness , consisted in my endeavour.* to ameliorate your condition, and to re-organi::e the tuitional army, when a fatal 'prejudice, deaf to all the councils of justice and of moderation, has impelled So vereigns, who, in other times, fought for the independence of nations, to commence g, war Nl' the overthrow of our constitu tional system, and thr robbing the nation of 'the.liberties con, ceded to it by its Sovereign. 4n enemy, to whom no provoca tion has been given, is marching as our frontiers. lie cover* the most unjust aggressions . with the, sacred name of our King, and he converts the sacred obligation of our oath into an offence. " Mitbelieve me, soldiers, tie Almighty will protect us, be caiiso we defend a just cause. Show, then; to the world that you possess all the virtues that do honour to the brave, and ob serve the most perfect discipline. Regard - as enemies only those who have taken up anus agailist you; but respect as brethren the peaceful inhabitants of the countries you may occuu. " Soldiers ! Legionaries ! Neapolitans !—Great la bours, and also great glory await us. Be firm in battle, mo derate in victory, and patient in the midst of difficulties and privations. Spain, witteli is united With,l33,presents to you a me- • morable esuinple of the constancy with which she maintained a long contest for the recovery of her Sovereign, and the defence of her independence. " You will not lay down your arms until you have secured the safety of the Throne and the tlonstitution of the country. You will then return to the bosoms of your families covered with glory ; you will be the objects of public gratitude, the pride of the nation, and the admiration of the latest posterity. " FRANCIS, Regent." Enthusiasm is carried to the greatest height in all the Provinces. The Intendant of Aquila has Been obliged to resort to every means of persua sion to send back to their families 2,000 men, who, without being called out, insisted upon marching to the frontiers. Taren to and Lecce have furnished successive bat talions of legionaries cot/wieldy armed and equip ped. The Bishop of the latter place displays the greatest zeal in the national cause. That prelate addressed the battalions of legionaries of Lecce, which lately marched to join the army. He said, " The shades doer fathers hover around you await ing the news of your triumph. The finger of the Eternal has written on the majestic vault of the firmament the redemption of nations. In the name of the God of armies I promis you victory.— March to the frontiers ; hasten whither the safety of the country calls you ; teach your enemies to know that you. are Salentiniats—that you are Italians : I give you my,benediction," Szc. The Major who commands the battalion replied to the Bishop in a most patriotic speech, which he con cluded with the folloWing words—" We swear to conquer or to die ! Liberty or death!" On Thursday the Duke of York had a select party to dinner. Yesterday the Duchess of Clarence took an airing in her carriage. Yester day Prince Leopold dined with the DuchesF of Kent at the King's Palace at Kensington. Ilk Royal Highness Prince Leopold has issued cards of invitation for a grand dinner party, at Marl borough House, on the fourth of April. Wed nesday and Thursday the Duchess of Kent d the Duchess of Clarence, and on Thursday her Itoyal ;ghness dined with the Duke and Ducim[sa of Clarence. The lloyAr. FAMILY of SARDINIA is divided into two branches, the reigning one is that of Savoy, the other that of Savoy Carignan. It is a remarkable circumstance, that of the three brothers, who constitute the former branch, two have successively abdicated ; Charles Emmanuel IV. abdicated in 7802, in favour of Victor Em manuel, who has now followed his example. Charles Felix, Duke de Genevois, thy third brother, is in his sGth year, and has been married for fourteen years to a daughter of the King of Naples, but has no children. The next in suc cessiou to him is the Prince de Carignan, great grandson of Charles E:nmanuel, the first Prince of that name. Ile is about tweuty-two years and a half old, and has been married about three years and a half to a daughter of the Grand Duke of Tuscany ; but is also without children.
