had ewer since 'remained a source of great conmier-

clot advantage to this cOiaitry.
The worthy Gentleman thought it full time that
the fatiiilies of Etirope should hail each other with
fraternal affection. it wits almost incredible to
suppose that France was not already satiated with
tine mischief else hail done the World. Hat hoped
and trusted she wits, and that her tranquillity
would Iwol the discord so Wag anbsisting its En-
rope. It was worth while to observe that the spirit
of persecution arose in the Smith, 00 the crudities of
Spai ~, where priesthood had just revived intole-
rance. This recounted for the horrid yell of '
St. BatilmMinor, which the mob had raised, and
the imprecations against the Protestants, winds ac-
•criinpasiied it. It was at tie same time not to Ise
concealed that those atrocities hruke out in the
mouth of anal that they had been only re-
cently notesed by the French Government. This
was not u pleasimg fact to dwell upon—hot he au-
gured every substantial benefit from the general
expression of public feeling which the present mo-
t would doubtless engender throughout every
class of the people of this Caruntry.
Mr. BtIiISTE•D stated, that, until lately. the
Government Papers hf Paris had denied the fact of
those tumults, and it was his impression, that the
French Government might, if it pleased, have ex-
ercised its power to put down those atrocities, us
easily as it did to extinguish political hostility
throughout its Empire. The Worthy Gentleman
concluded by hoping that every County in England
would follow the present example set, to entreat
the Piiiire Ht-gent, through his Missister at Paris,
to put a stop to such sanguinary proceedings.
Mr. Jar as could mat give a silent vote upon the
present motion. He had the sane wenn feelings
with the) orthy Gentleman who haul introduced it,
but they were clothed with one or two doubts on
the practicability of the measure in question.—
These doubts chiefly applied to the propriety and
decorum of interference at all, and also as to the
policy of making it u subject of public feeling in
this country. The situation in which the present
Government of France stood ought to be taken into
consideration. lie regretted that it was attacked
Iry the Worthy Gentleman opposite (Mr. Favell)
particularly as it appeared that Louis was using
every effort to remedy the evil. Mr. Jacks here
read a letter f sass English Lady of rank at
Toulouse, dated 17sIs of November, which stated
the tolerant spirit of the King of France, and his
disapprebsition of these atrocities. Ile hoped the
',tempt motion would, however, irrorluce a good
effect.
Alderman lIEYGATF. concurred in the motion,
although sit first, lie confessed, he had entertained
stone doubts as to its expediency. 'Phut Court hail
IMO often interfered, he often thought, in mattress

certainly would be the result, because it might
create ass irritation whets the object was t• heal is
'strum,. He corroborated the extent of mischief
which the spirit of bigotry in the South of France
had created—indeed lie held in his hand a letter
which confirmed, in every point, the istformation
previously received. His principal Haitian was,
however, against interfering in the affairs of ano-
ther rountry. flow, for Mosinee, would this coun-
try like to hear of a foreign Power interfering hit
Ilse Catholics of Ireland ? But the fart was, the
French Government was itself interfering, as it was
disulttleris bound to do, to maintain its 411Wil
tistimial Charter. Besides, there were 150,000
allied troops, under ass illwarious general, who mood
pledged to maintain that Cover sat, cod that
Clouser, the basis of wh;ch wah religions liberty.—

sire, its fortheranee ad their wished-for object? Ile
