II t al t C c ,' cessions, tending to unhinge the minds of the peo ple of this Country, Ile believed, however, that what fell from a Learned Gentleman would tend to that, more than any thing which fell frOm Gentle. mmat his side of the House. The present was by no means a Catholic 'War, regarding tt in a Relie ous light—bot much discontent might cotainly arise from the consideration, that 4.fifths of the in. liabitsios . of that Country ate deprived of many of the advantages their fellow-subjeds enjoyed.---If ever that question should he agitated in the United Parliament, in his present views of the subject, li`e should support it. At the same time he was free to say, it would be proper to shew them that. any attempts to redress themselves by force, would meet with punishment, and he hoped that Parliament would unanimously strengthen the hands of Govern ment to punish such attempts. Mr. Setjeant BEST observed, that certain topics which had been intrOduced into the discussion, were unadvisedly done so: it should be considered that the proceedings alludd to might be produdive of injarious consequences on this side the water : their. effeds would not be confined to Ireland alone ; the Civil Institutions of this Country were liable to be affected : at any rate, the subject was of extreme delicacy, and should be handled with the utmost caution. Were it held out as unfit the Catholics in Ireland should pay Tithes, the same question may be .agitated in this Country,and the EloglishCatholics and Dissenters might claim exemption on similar grounds: this would go to strike at the very root of the ..Constitution olChurch and State. The agitation of such questions were highly improper, the more especially on the very last night of a Session, when tto opportunity could offer of giving the subject a full and adequate consideration. With resped to tlie original Motion, though it had supporters, not one of them supported the Honourable Mover on his own grounds ; they argued it in a manner very different from him, and it was matter of surprize to him (Mr. 13.) that though three weeks had elapsed since the Insurration took place, no mention was made of the present Motion till last Friday. Why was. such an interval stiff:Jed to ticapt ; and why did they come forward on the last night.of:ihe Session? lie deprecated the ultrachic. tint of the Catholic question into the discutsion, more especially as it appeared great numberS of that body were tager to manifest their determination to stviort the Government of Ireland. He attributed the present unhappy disturbances in Ireland to the machination of the common Enemy : t o proCeed ings oI that kind, which, among the happiest Cum munities, and hest regulated Governments, would find some supporters, who, on account of their po. verty or waywardness of disposition, were prone to insurrettion and revolt. Th e M ot i on s h ou ld have his decided negative. Col. Ckiwuratto spoke shortly in explanation. Al,. ALEX - ANDER delivered his sentiments at home length. I le'deprecated ttle introdnaion of such a subjea at that particular period, when Gentle, mett could neither he q t.d lied to judge Of its merits, nor have time to give it a full and deliberate dig. cushion. lie adverted to the paucity of Iri,h Members then pre!tnt ; when they returned from that Country next Seshion, with the advantages of al informati, n and inquiry, then would be the proper tilne fur dihotshing the subjea, lie had the highest respett for the motives 'of his I lon. Friend, lout he must deptceate the agitation of the snhjet9 at present. He spoke favourably of the political sentiments of the great Majority o f Calholie Proprietors, they were friendly to the • 11l 'lrish. Government and connexion ; but among the lower classes appeared a rooted deter. mina:lw), to attempt at least, to acquire these estates, which the course of events had wrested from those they 'called their Ancestors. This he considered as one great cause of the continued ferment which prevailed in Ireland; but among the Proprietors, even 99 out of 100 were radically attached to Great Britain. After dwelling upon these points for some time 'and adverting to the present state of parties in irelard, he concluded by expressing his hearty negative to the Motion. CRAUFORD and Mr. ALEXANDER. spoke beverally in e.nilinhtion. Mr, /./UTCH/NoloNspokeat considerable length in reply, in the course of wl kit he animadverted in some detail on what had fallen from teveial leading Speakers in the 1) hate, particularly Lord CAS. *rLEREAQH and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE. *vett., He observed be had been pTiously mis understood by several Gentlemen who had spoken. I - le argued thkt the drift of his Motion was not for improper disclosure, or that it cast any slur upon the *Government of Ireland. He had originally intended an Address to the Kirg, the principal object} of which was) that be would tae pleased to take the af. fairs of Ireland into his royal consideration, and adopt such measures as ,he deemed proper to the tranquilizing of that Country ) &c. but a degree of infortnality attending it, he, was induced to pro. pme the !notions before,tl4 House., So far from delaying to come forward, be had the very day af. ter the Aa, passcd,warned Ministers if they should not adopt some proceedings indicative of their in. tention to tithe the circumstances of Ireland into their special consideration, he should deem it his duty to propose something on the sub. jeep himself; and had they last night, or even this night, come forward with a general declaration to, that died, he should not have troubled the House ; and such an apparent disposition on the part of Ministers would have done more to Iran. qnillize Ireland than aoy thing they could possibly do under the present Motion. He knew no immediate steps could be taken in consequence of it, but the main drift and objed of his application was, .that it should be nunifest,",that the Governmerit,intended immediately and seri. ously to take the state of Irelaint into their consideration. He adverted to various points con. neeted with the late and present Rebellions in Ire. land, on which lie delivered his opiniOns in detail, and vindicated the. Cathdlies from the charge of be.. ing adive itt tidier. Not one: Catholic of note was a Leader in the last tßebellion, they were either Protestants or Py. ,, byteri;ins. He observed largely upon the Speeclie, cHivered by the two distinguish. eel pet sonages above.mentioned, on both of which I , e made a v..riety of strong and polnted remarks ;. tfa lko thet a!gue.l in livt,ur of the Motion, as the LONDON, AUGUST' 12,1803. His Majesty's Ship Mancheron, of 16 guns, fell in, on the 28th ult. fourteen leagues to the west. ward of Scilly, with a French Squadron of three Ships of the Line anti two Frigates, steering to the Eastward, evidently for Brest. Captain HAwes closely reconnoitred them; and then stood for Admiral CORNWALLIS'S Fleet, which he was fortunate enough to fall in with on the tst inst. and afterwards Admiral HALLOWELL'S Division, stationed closer in to Brest. This is probably a detachment of the St. Domingo Fleet. LMT night a Debate took - place in the House of Commons upon a Motion of the Hon. Mr. HUTCH INSON respeting Ireland. Every thing relating to that Country is at the present moment particularly interesting, but it seems to savour a little of the charateristic of the Nation to move for Information respeEting the late Insurrection in and the present state of that Country, on the very day preceding the prorogation of Parliament. By the time that Parlia. ment meets again, 'which we have good reason • to be. lieve will be at no very distant period, (certainly we learn in the month of November) the state of Ireland we hope will be changed very much for the better ; and as , no proceeding can at present be had upon any inforthation that could be given, we can only con. sicker the Motion as the medium of a discussion upon the affairs of that part of the United Kingdom..— . One reason on the part of Ministers for withholding information is a very plain one—and that is, that they have no information to give—lt is generally, and, we apprehend, very justly believed, that the Go 'vernment on both sides of the water was wholly ignorant' of the Plan of insurre&ion.which was car. tied into effed on the 23‘1" ult. and which had been hatching for eight preceding months.. Both Mr. ADD motor; and Lord HAWIC ESE UR y, however, endeavoured last night to impress a contrary belief, but it was rematked thin they never were more in felicitous in their attempts, and their manner be. trayed their own cum , idion of the fia-It is a fad, indeed, so notorious both in Ireland and here, that we are 'astonished any . men s h oul d b e f oun d hardy enough to dispute it. Lord CASTLE R EACH was more successful in his general arguments ; but on the point of justification from a surprize he was not more fortunate, though certainly more able than his coadjutors. He shewed, in the latter part of his Speech, in a strong point of view, the bad effeds of discussion at the present moment, and the necessity, for vigour aunt unanimity. In these sen. timentt . we most heartily concur; but while Mini. stern afreet to arouse our patriotism, and. to appeal to our reason, do not let them at' the;same time ad as if they supposed that the people of this Country are destitute of the latter quality, by denying a fad so unequivocally proved as the ismorance of Govern. ment of the gigantic scheme of Rebellion, which too certainly exists in Ireland, arid which partially 'displayed itself in Dublin on the 23d of last month, This is a- subject upon which we are unwilling. at present to enlarge, and we have no doubt but we shall have ample opportunities of hereafter renewing it. Ministers are aning under a tremendous respon. sibility, and their present conduct must one day, perhaps, become the subject of serious investigation. Yesterday morning. soon after breakfast, Nis MAJESTY, accompanied by the PR INC ESS SOP 1-1 And attended by Lady TitYNNE, Generals CART w cliv, Ds ]3vDe, and Mr. Fit E EMANTLE, took , an airing on horseback and viewed the different farms in Windsor Great NO( ; the different crops appear very tine, and the harvest will - soon Com mence.
