CATHOLICS. CLAIMS. .
The fallowing tfireches of Mr. Ponsonhy, and fhd
Chancellor of the exchequer, mi it firearm our
teuelera with a view of that* iwftorcant subject*
Which hat laftty occu/ited *hc British Hou.se,of
.Commons. ‘ ' • ■* ...i f
Mr. I’ons'inby haviftgbccn called upon by the right
hon. gentleman, to acc.uut fur hi* former conduct in
respect to ttie C.itholirk question, arose for that pur
pose, an 1 he trusted tint the house would patiently ,,
attend to what he had to say upon a subject which,
on other occasions, would be little worth notice, as it,
concerned himself. Tire right turn, gentleman was
perfectly incorrect in the statement he had marie tf
he h «d never said that the catholirk bishops and the
clergy were disposed to give an effectual negative to
the king, cii the nomination of the bishops, if on the
other hand, the house were disposed to accede to
their claims, and loimpart to them the fuilprjvileges
of the constitution. The house must have it in their
recollection, that the h,te member for Cwinhrulge
shira (Mr. Ynrke) had asked him (Mr. Ponsoby),*
.what authority lie'b-d for supposing they would
give a vein, and to that question he had replied
by stating lir. Milner as his authority, and he could,
now state the vouchers upon which he had made the
declaration, The right lion, gentleman might ex
press his astonishment at his conduct in not coming
forward sooner with an explanation s but he might
wonder as he pleased, and when he pleased, for lie
would regulate his conduct in such a manner, that
the house should not 'think him unworthy their up.
pvfibhtian. He was content,, therefore, to beurtne
load of calumny which hud. been heaped upon him,
Until the fit opportunity arrived when he-could sh ,ke
it off. The right hon. gentleman then entered into
a history of the transactions between lord Fingsl,
Dr. Milner, and himself upon the -subject of theca*:
tholick claims. In the course of conversation, he
mentioned to lord. Ting'd, that nothing weighed
su much with English minds, as that Catli.licks
should not be under foreign jurisdiction, and that lie
had understood some formal communications had
taken place between the government of England and
mr irisii ciergy, on uie sunjecw i o min iora r mgii
replied, that he thought so too ; but still lie conceiv
ed there would not be much difficulty. In 1799, nn
offer of conceding the veto hud been made, and be
asked lord F. whether lie might state as much ? The
noble lord s..idthathehrd better speak to the English
catholick bishojis In consequence of this suggestion,
there was an interview between him (Mr. P.) lord
Fingal, and I)r. Milner, one of the titular bishops.
A conversation of s me hours arose upon the subject
of the feta. A day or two after, the 'doctor called
at the house of Mr. Ponsnby, and left a letter to tlxf
following effect: “ Th it he (Dr Milner) wished to
state in writing distinctly the substance of what he
hod said, or meant to say, respecting the veto, Vic.
That the c<tthc.licks were willing to give a direct ne
g itive tohis m ijesly in tlie nomination of titular hista
ops in such a manner,,as that from a Certain number
proposed, tlie fittest person should lie selected, but
should any objection arise, then another and another
should be proposed, until no objection could be made,
and (which wm never likely to be the case) should
the pope refuse to give to the person so selected the
necessary spiritual powers, other names should be.
proposed until one was approved of by both parties-—
the Crown and the-Apnstohrlt See.” This was the
authority v.hich he (Mr. 1’) had for stating that the
catholickshud conceded the veto, and he hoped the
house would think that he had not mis-stated Dr.
Milner, when lie had formerly said that lie Was au
thorised by that person to make that declaration—*
| l/ear ! Hear !\—This letter, the day after receiv
ing it, lie had shewn in tlie lobby to Mr. Yovke and
Mr. VVilberfnrce, and tlie observations of these gen
tlemen were, that lie had not over-stated his autho
rity. Lord Fingal was present, ’and be believed so
also was Dr. Milner ; fhe former confirmed what he
had asserted. The d-ty after, Dr. Milner called up
on him, and said that many of the English catlmlicks
had found fault with him for what be had said, al
ledging that it inade the bead of the catholick church;
On tin-head, lie (Mr. P.) endeavoured to satisfy
their scruples, by observing that the king conhl on
ly Consider himself as head of the churvh in a tem
porary point of view, for that as to the spiritual
dominion, that, by the act of Christ himself, was
vested in the pope. It was then proposed by Dr.
Milner to limit the selection to three, four or five
persons, but to this proposition he (Mr. P.) object
ed, observing, that the attempt to limit and restrict
the number would only be productive of bad effects.
Dr. Milner afterwards Brave him reason to believe
they would acquiesce In the first proposition ; but
being afterwards in Ireland, he by mere accident
saw in the papers a communication addressed to the
catholicks, signed •* J. Milner/’ in which it is a hedg
ed that the speeches of the friends to the cause were
incorrectly givenin the newspapers} that somepnlnts
| were misunderstood, which points were afterwards
explained in parliament, but those explanations were
: wholly omitted in the report, and in short, attribu
! ting the misunderstanding to the orators in favour
[of the cause. To this strange publication Mr. P,
| wrote, in reply, disclaiming the having made tin.
warrantable concessions, and insisting that the in'.
| rtructions which the. doctor had given him fully
justified him in what he had stated in parliament.
—The. right bon. gent, than adverted to a recent;
publication of the Doctor,; which he thought was in
tended f«r the purpose of meeting the motion of hit
right hon. friend, in that publication the Doctor says,
[44 The arrangement made by our political friends is
incompatible with the safety and integrity of the Ca
tholic religion-’ What he could mean by the ar
> rangements 1 am at a loss to discover, says MrvJPs
I never stated any arguments but hit own, of which
i he end the rest of the Catholic bishops were good and
i better judges than myself—(dear, dear,-The
Doctor then went on to state, that “ the other ar
rangements whjcli the friends of the C stliolic* had
made, and the opinions formed* e ere not agreeable
: to that body/’ “ "Now what utfici arrangements tie
! can hear I don't know. I never made hoy arranged
