Austria had nobly justilled the force alai wisdom of
these remarks. The Home and the country con-
curred in their way of thinking, as to the general
vague principle of nitionil interference. The Cir-
enlar of Lord Caolereagh expressed that opinion
slefiisitively, hot allowed that there might he ex-
editions, 'Hid admitted the case of A st-tria with re-
spect to Naples might stolid among 'hose Wep-
toms. The country concurred in these se. tonents,
and to that course ought they steadily to adhere. lie

jodiciona papers ever issued. Ile advised the adop-
tion of strict neutrality in wind sod steed. The time
might come when our interference might be sought,
and it would then be effectual in proportion to our
withholding it at present. Under all the sarcom-
a/afire., ignorant as they were of the wishes of the
parties, having, before Austrio engaged in the war,

The Earl of Doceter said, that the Noble
Lord had, by eulogising in the most lavish manner
the rirriihir of Lord Castlereagh, also stated his
belief that the Circular represented floe general
noon of the etinitry, that the conduct of Au..
rsia to Nal.le• wssa justati.tlrle, on die ground of its
being a oieeeieary exception to a general rule. To
this inference he strongly protested ois behalf of the
titulary.

liquify, without ally Freedom camplsittiog of undue re-
turn. As it mien be found &strait/1r to transfer the elec-

purchase of the franchise of such Boroughs as might he wil-
ling to part with thews; and afterwards he Ovoid propose
to tit: up the numb r ref Members from other large and po-

Sir G. HI LI. ',Owl-Ted, !bat time steps that had kern taken

Mr HUTCHINSON explained. The Right Honourable
Bart. seemed to Insinuate that he (Mr. H ) had concealed
from the House some information which, in candour, lie
was burred to disclose. He look it for granted that the
Right Hon. WWI. had nut beet, in the House last night,

it WAS introduced, and he *tat; tl his opinions, as he felt him-

I itieurdioary degree of candour, but he must again ripest
that lie fit a little mote tlasss 'saw ised ili•I the Bight
Hon. Bad. woodd have ventured to insinuate that he iMr.
Hutchinson) concealed informittou front the House, which
in candour he was knead to diselose.

Sir G. HILL said, he cei vainly was not present last night,
hut he thought the Hon. Gentlem in might have abataorre.l
from the words which he applied to hire, item. is, " that he
would not ceioure to inainuate." He anus, take this op?or.

Mr. MAUR/CE FITZGERALD observed that he bad
some objections to the second Hill of a arrows "ware.—
There objections were nut mew, he always entertained
them. Ile was al•a(• •sserst In the Crown having any in.
terferenre with the affairs of the Catholic Church. He
world not then detain the House, but he thought it dee en
candour to state that when the question came fairly before
the Committee, be should feel st his duty to state these ob-
jections.
Ante a few words from Sir G. HILL, the House resolved
itself into aCoromittee.

The it:111A1101 AN then proceeded to read that clause is
the Bill, " Provided eiwsys mail be it enacted, that whatever
Catholic presumes to advise the Crowe," when
Mr. PELL rote, He said he should at once pro..
cetd to submit to the Ilouce th. proposition of
which he had given notice. Ilit object was to ex-
tend the exceptions which the Bill already Contain-

cial Office, mud although both. should low:m.1 on
difiereot grounds, yet its order to save the iinte of the
House he should smite the lIIeCUs,IOII of them.
doing so, he could assure the I it was not Ilia in-
irntion to occupy much or their lime, but should
endeavour to confine iiittistlf Na closrly as proisiltle
to the point. tinittediately under their consideration.
According to the vote to which the House
came Let night, Catholics were rendered eleKible
to seata in both flutt.e. in Parliament. It was tint
his iiitelitioli to impugn that decision, lie should

he was happy to have in support of his &agonies'',
toe ore's( and weighty authority of the (tight Hum
msdnL. toned Geutltillaii wile introduced this mea-
sure to the House. He stated that the people of
Ir. loud cue lierfecily senstisel with the administra-
tion of fustier io that country. Hire he had a
reit solininnon not only of the patio y of the adini-
usairaliun of imti, e, but also ~f she cosilideuce of
the people in the Judges. Now it might appear
au nividiiius obeervatien, but he could not help
thinking that if the Catholics got seats tan the
Bench, tile ad' ll ill istralion of justice would nut give
the universal sotisfactioo that it doer at inereill.
He believed that the Judges were almost invariably
of the cuisiintinum of the Church of Ettgland. He
did believe this was the case, and that Dissenters
were 1141 elected to the Bauch. S • far thutit as this
osensure seeks to put Catholics us, a footing with
Mute:Aunt Disseieteis, the purpose is auswered.
But lie believed that Judges en -rally qualified for,
that office by taking the Sacru will of the Protesting
Church, unit that it ems t e custom to select
ffoll/ 'mono that venerable body the Court
of Delegates to decide on ecclesiastical ukfaira.
'lshis was a matter well worth their serious come-
titration. It is not merely the exposAion of the
law, or the passing renteuce on the convicted cri-
mioal, the must sacred trust that tali be reposed in
mail, that impresses the people with a reverence for
the Bench—it is the gravity and solemnity of the
decision. And lie could not consider it comnstent
with the maxims of 'mood wisdom, iii a matter of
such vital importance to the interests of the nation,
now to depart 1 • symeni so liing and so hap-
pdy established.—(!/ear, hear.)--It oar taut neces-
sary for lion to go nolo goewer length, but before
he sat down lie would wish to say a few words to

what anxiety he /night fsel fur the success of Ilia
own °pillions, which he deliberately formed and
cooscientinusly supported. lie 'Mould be worry to
tall to their ussistunce agitation and tumuli. which
he always considered illegitimate twists to 'Vann to;
but he thought dist justice should also be done
to the feelings of the people of England. He could
nut believe that deli felt apathy lied indifference
en the question; lint that they looked with con-
fideure to the deeisitio of this usucli-calumniated
