Neius-Papers.
HOUSE cf COMMONS, of IRELAND.
Monday, August 21.
MR. CONOLLY said, he was sorry to
fee so thin a house, and that none of
the gentlemen who are diftinguifned by the
name of Patriots were present. He was sur
prised, he said, on Friday last, to lee a thing
of Refoliations published in the public papers
by a corps of volunteers, which were subver
sive of the constitution, prejudicial to the
slate, and an insult to the honour and dignity
of Parliament. Lie was oneof thole, he laid,
Vho moved and voted the thanks of Parliament
early in the fellion to the Volunteers. The
necellity of tire date permitted them to be
armed ; they were necessary and ufful, and
deferred e\ery approbation. He was certain
there were many of the bell and greatest men
in the kingdom among them, for whom he
entertained every rclped. But he knew many
Corps of Volunteers of his opinion, who we.c
equally bait at any improper aft attributed to
the ^fociation in general. '1 hat the decla
ration of this corps had brought on similar
declarations from others. He therefore wifiied
to nip the evil in the bud. He had done as
much as any other man in the kingdom for
the good of the country, and had exerted
every endeavour to procure a free trade, which
he was forty it was not in the propped of af
fairs to turn a national benefit, as dilNtisHc
tion and ingratitude were Spread abroad. I:
had been unjustly supposed his connexion
with the chief governor influenced his conduct.
He was confident to fay it did not, as he never
knew how he should vote for a question before
he came to the house. He then read from
feme of the public papers, the meeting and
diltin& resolutions of the merchants, the Dub
lin Independents, and the Liberty Corps.
He emphatically pointed out the part of each
he apprehended molt dangerous; and then
read two paragraphs, which he said were se
ditious and inflammatory. After which Ire
moved, that the h^ufe come to the fedowing
resolutions:
Rcfolved, That the resolutions and para
graphs contain matters which are falfe, scan
dalous, feditiuus, and libellous, and grossly
tended to afperfe the proceedings of Parlia
ment, to drag the people from their obedience,
and raise discontents among his Majority's fub
jefls.
Agreed on nom. ccn.
Lord Delvin recorded the motion, and
said he thought himfelf bound to do so upon
such infamous proceedings.
Mr. Latouche said, a: a gentleman of his
name, and a near kinsman, had iigned to the
proceedings of one of the said meetings, he
thought it necessary to inform the house, that
on the publication of the fame, he had applied
to him, and that he seemed feufible of his
error; that he had been forced into the chair,
and was forty for it.
Mr. Conolly then mored,
Resolved, That an huble^ address be pre
sented to bis excellency the Lord Lieutenant,
expressive of their abhorrence of said para
graphs and reflations, and' that he would be
pleased to order a prolecution against the au
thors, printers, and pubbfhers of said refolu
tiors and paragraphs complained of.
Agreed to new con.
Capt, Burgh moved, that Mr. Peter Digges
Latowche be executed in the fajd prufecution.
Mr. Conolly seconded the motion.
The Speaker said, itit as informal to agree
to such .a motion here. It might be done in
the courie of profecucion.
Mr. Feeler expressed his wi(h, that the per
sons proiecuted should be brought before no
either tribunal than the regular law of the
land.
The attorney General said, he thought it
impossible for the Commons to pass over so
great an insult to the constitution. They had
attacked the merits of an house of commons
which had deserved their warmed commenda
tion., That by this means, the members,
initead of goitg down to the aflizes to meet
the Smiles of their constituents, would meet
with nothing but aversion. He hoped, how
ever, that it was only a momentous indifere
tion in feme wrong-headed men, and would
soon pass over. In the protection the inno
cent should be distinguished from the guilty,
and he Mould cover the young gentleman al
luded to by a Nolo Profequi.
The reiblutions were then ordered to be
carried up to his Excellency the Lord Lieu
tenant.

to Sir Gilbert Elliot, Bare, is collated by his
