MONDAY. MAY 3. SSI9.

We have received the Paris Papers of iVeduesday
and 'Thursday. The proposed law, relative to the
mode or prosecuting the offences of the Press, con-
tinues to occupy the attention of the Chamber of
Deputies, in which it produced a stormy debate on
the 28iii. The PRESIDENT rung his hell to no
purpose. The Members rose front their seats to
leave the Chamber. All was tumult and confusion.
Order was at last obtained, sufficient to put the
question of adjournment to the next day; and the
Chamber being equally divided, the PIISIDSNT
gave his 'casting vote in favour of the motion.
The Chamber of Peers has examined in its bu.
reaux the pr4et de loi, fur repressing the offeuces
of the prise, hut after this examination, instead
of opening the discussion, it appointed a special
Committee of five, to iiivestigate the law with
more particular attentino. The Committee which
were charged • few days since to consider of the
proposition for substitutisig another punishment in
the place of deportations which said to be attend-
ed with difficulties in tile execution, have not sc.
quiesced in the propriety of the resolution, but
base recommended an address to the king for a
law more effectually to enforce the execution of de-
portation in the mode already prescribed. This
report gave rise to a discussion which, after three
Metathesis had delivered their opinions, was adjourn.

A Flanders 11><ail arrived hot night with Papers
to the 30th ult. The ridiculous plot iu favour of
BoNAvsture proceeds slowly, but uninterruptedly,
in the Court of Assize at Brussels. The following
is Ills rxtruct from these Papers :--
SECOND CIIA3IBER OP THE STATES GENERAL,

APRIL 47.

The Order of the Day was the distussion of the proposed
lows respecting the duties on wine, vinegar, mud beer, dia.
idled liquors of house insiiiifacture, and those of foreign
countries. They stem all agreed 10, except that 011
distilled liquors of home tuaiiiif..eture, which was rejected
Ise 33 soles to 33. The most distinguished speakers declared
it ruinous In the distilleries, mad highly injurious Is
agti-
culture.

In another fold or OUT Palm Will be Nowt II
copy of the Alemorial to the Bishop Or CLOGNER,
from the Protestant Inhabitants of Castlehlayiwy,
in the comity of Monaghan, stated on Tuesday
by Sir JOHN N PORT, in the House Of Common.,
on moving for a copy of the Returns of the Irish
Resident Clergy, for the last five years. The
Noblemen who coutmorlicated this interesting do•

content to the worthy i 4 L rcl ntIYNT.Y.
urn whose respectable iiiiiliorify we hate in add,
that the Bo.hop 'mill no attention to their
remonstrance, the Meisinrialista almost entirely
deserted the parish church, and jclitted other recto,
ur embraced the Catholic religion.

This night the cause of our Catholic frllow•sub-
.lects will be decided by the new Parliament. The
foe of the peace of Ireland, drps•nd in
• great measure upon the decision of this import-
ant night. We may this night, with safety awl
with honour, follow the example that has been

set by .other nations ; we may break the chains
that dark and mistaken times had forged for men-

kind. Is it not humiliating to think that whilst
the enlightened nations of the earth have destroyed
even the remembrance of intolerance amongst
them—that whilst Americo, France, and other
countries, have established the full freedom of
conscience, have destroyed every odious distinc-
tion between man and man, giving equal rights
end liberties to all—England alone reisissir.s un-

.•
influenced by the resew, rimmed by the future—
cherishing in her bosons the seeds of dissection,
and the elements of slavery—acting upon a prin-
ciple that would rob millions of their dearest rights,
upon an assumption that they might he dangerous if
they were free ? Why amine that the Catholics are
dangerous ? Is it because they fought our battles ?
is ►t because that in life and in death they have
given the last proof of their loyalty sold their
devotion? but if you give them liberty, you
make them dangerous and disloyal. ‘Vliat !
you lift them up from their prostrate state—you
clothe them with the rights of British subjects—
you give them liberty—you give them motive to
love the Constitution and to support the Go-
vernment, and then you say they will destroy
th.it liberty, they will blast the fair hopes of
their country, of themselves, and their posterity !
And for what will they part with all that can
mike life desirable? for the influence of Rome,
which the Catholics on their solemn oaths have
disclaimed. No; if the Catholics are still to
be denied the rights of men—if they are still to
be oppressed, let their adversaries throw of the
malt—let them say as they feel, " We hate you,
because we have injured you—we will keep you
in bondage, because we hate you." Let them
act thus, they will at least lie mobil ; but let
them nut attempt to justify their injustice by ins-
pitting crimes to the sufferers which their hearts
abhor, and every action of their lives refutes.—
They talk of Catholic influence and of Catholic
power; neither could exist if Catholic liberty were
established. Catholics would mix with their fellow
men ; like all others, they would embrace their
different views and different parties, as opinion, as
interest, or as virtue would prompt them. They
would cease to be a distinct body iis the State; the
name of the sectarian would be lost in the more
general, and the more generous name of the citi-
zen. They are at present a separate body ; are
they blameful for this ? no ; they have been lite-
rally driven from society. The law has proscribed
them as a degraded rod inferior class; it has care-
fully excluded them from every liberal pursuit, and
every gratifying honour. What then is more na-
tural than to see them commune with each
other ; to see them sympathise in each others mis-
fortunes, and to herr them complain of their com-
mon wrongs ? But if this connexion be offensive,
again we say, remove the cause ; emancipate the
Catholics, and you destroy them as a body. But
we clothe the Catholic■ with power. No, you clothe
them with liberty; you rise them to an equality
with their fellow-subjects; you restore to the Sove-
reign the prerogative I►e has lost; you give him
power to confer honours amid distinctions m► all his
subjects. Is this dangerous?—must the Constitu-
tion fall because the Sovereign of this Empire may
have the power of rewarding with public honours
the faithfnl servant of the public ?
But the Catholics will get into Parliament.
%Veil, suppose they do; how many Catholic* would
be returned to Parliament in the event of Emanei•
patios ? Nut four for England—not six for Ire.
land. Here are ten individuals, not to be assailed
by influence, not to be fascinated by ambition—
siug►►lar and solitary beings, they will brood over
the ruins of their monasteries, and piously deter-
mine to destroy the Coustitutiun of their country !
Amid when it is considered that these ten maniacs
are °plowed to son►e six or seven hundred en-
lightened Senators, and to the whole power of the
empire, it certainly must follow that they will
undermine the foiandation of our liberties ! It is
really tiresome to follow the absurd pretences under
which bigotry attempts to colour its injustice.
