of the Roman Catholics. He denied that the
mount of that popislation, or that the number of
Irish Catholics is the British arnsyeetras in any re-
aped as numeteut as bad been aseefted ; the pope-
lation of the Catholics wet ascertained by a amuse
taken in the year 176?, and did net exceed two mil-
lions, whilst three fourths of the Itisis seldiers were
Protestants. The property of the Protestants was as
to the Catholic as 30 to 1 ; and thottgfethey enjoy
every thing which moderate men could require,
they will never be easy until the kingdom was de-
livered over to their hands, and until they bad ac-
tually dinntoyed the Pio:esthete, men, women,
and children. (.1 loadlitotgifr.) But 'there was
little danger to be apprehended, as long as the
Government proteded the Protestaet, which would
put them down, as it did before, in one fortnight.
He considered the relaxations which were mask in
their favour, as the source of all the calamities ;
it was so in the Cast of Marquis Cornwallis, whose
sole busicew to Ireland was to prated the rebels
from legal punishment. And the very persons with
whom the Lx-Maoisters had been negociating, were
noted rebels—one Kecgh (alluding to Mr. Keogh,
the Catholic Delegate), one Hay, a man whose
brother was banged in the to en of Wexford, and
-rho had himself preferred his ben transported,
rather than undergo the result of a trial. The
Learned Dr. proceeded to state a number of ob.
serrations on the doctrine and discipline of the Ca-
tholic Chetah. He declared, that the greatest en-
couragement to rebellion was formally discussing
such subjects; that at the commencement of a Stissione
ha sincerely prayed for the immediate end of it.
110 went farther and assented, that a Noble Lord.,i
not now in that House, had actually made the at tempt, and had the intention of:Averting the Pro-
testant Establishment of this Kinedons, as etteb-
tidied by law. A most loud and • vehement cry of

Mr. LUMMER could not sit still and heat that

:Dutton to name the person.
...The SPEAKER said it belonged to him to de-

Orders of the Hogue for the Learned Gentleman to

Mr. SHERIDAN rose to order; he put it to

charged a Noble Peer with adially being a traitor,
and it might happen that the Peer alluded to was
elm a Privy Counsellor. • (Chao. ! Ciao: frays 14e
Iffieislere.liwarkes.),
Lord HOWLCK contended, that the Orders of
the House were for the decorum of Parliamentary
debates and it was, in his opinion, incontrovertibly
out of order to charge any Noble Peer as the
Loarned Gentleman had done. Such conduet was
inconsistent with that laudable jealousy which best

Mr. CANNING declared his ignorance of the
puma to whom the Learned Dodor had so intern-
parately. so imliecreetly, and, perhaps, unjustly al-
luded I but the Chair had already dmided on the

Me. GRENVILLE said, that singularly as he
was unneeded with the business, he should judge of
it perfedly Unprejudiced ; hut he never could be-
here that when suck a charge was made, it was pet-
tedly optional with the person making it to cuter
into explanation.
The SPE:MIER obenved, that lie had delivered
his opinion to the best of Isis ability. and that ex-
resins= so us-d were a viohteen of the technical
orders of the ilou•e.
Dreher DUIGENAN repressed, in a very low
tone of voice, his contrition fur the error he bad
been, in the heat of argument, so unguardedly led
into. He bed not mentioned any particular Peer.
ace there were a number of Noble Lords. How.
ever, he thrombi it beet to sit drown.
So SAMUEL ROMILLY—" Mr. Speaker. it
is not my inteatton to notice either the unguarded
language or the weak sophistry of the learned
Dnelor. I will consign him to the Noble Lord
(Castlereagh) who is seated en the same bench, for

that Noble Lord had so sincerely and so repeatedly

kV the Constittit(nit; I :Aso feel gratitude to His
Majestf. tie, Italy his servant, honoured with his
confide:cc ; but if there be an responsibility ie the
Ministers, then I say this is an absolute Monarchy.
It has been said. that the resent Ministers have not
given any pledge. Now, if the late Al inistel s have
been dismissed because they refused a written
pledge, their successors stand in this dilemma ,
either they will give that advice which has been
their
pove. and in that event they deceive
Sovereign or, if they do not, some of
them (Mr. Canning and Viscount Castlereagh)
must abandon a measure for which they formerly
' resigned their places, I wish them to explain how
it has come to pass, that no &sledge was demanded
/0 them., As to the suggestion.. that the hue Mi.
Sliders might have given that pledge, and resign,
104 the crisis arrived, that is ridiculous ; because
k would be to hold their places while all was
lletooth, but to abandon His Majesty in the nue-
ellent of peril. A cry has been raised, that the
Church is in danger; that we are threatened with
the tones when the streets ran with blood. The Mischief of this expedient is so great, it is with
deep concern I find it resorted to. It is with
deep concern I have seen papers published, par_
titularly an Advertisement in a Newspaper, by
a Right lion. Gentleman oppesite (Mr. l'erceval),
Stating, that it was become necessary for him to
stand by his Sovereign, that he was making a stand

people to second him with their exertions. I know
that Gentleman will, and I implore fern to reH.

upon the consequences, it he should have the ill•
fortune to sueceed in his attempt to revive religious
strife and animosities. I will not appeal to 1:1111 at
the moment when dazzled with the surrounding
glitter of a Court, but in the cam moment of ie.
tirement, when cor.ternplati;:g t:.e numerous pledges
of conjugal affecticrn with which he is blessed. I
would call upon- him to consider the consequence
to the rising genera:ion, and to liiiiisea., weh
respell to that God whom I know he sincerely
adores, if, by the clamours of 4. the C :inch in
danger," he should rekindle religiuu, true., and
lead the way to civil war. There lever was a
time when %maternity was mole nece.sery ;
nod, therefore, there never was 111 time when our
bitterest ene.ny would be more anxious or the
revival of reekou. elimosities. In,leeJ, if Ilona.
parte could place his Prince of Benevento in the
Cabinet, he could not devise a system more suited
to his purpose, than Otle to turn the arms of the
eou'try against each ()C R- "
Mr. BRAGG le BA I'HURST said, this was the
first change of Atintstry, in his time, in which the
particular eardueth of the King was calied in ques-
tion. The supporters of the motion disclaimed all
idea of ineolvieg His Majesty ,n the discussion;
but it bad, notwithstaniling, that tendency ; and it
was to that effeet he obieded.
Sir P. MURRAY expressed his entire veneer.
:once in the sentiments of the H in. Gentleman who
had just sat down. Iu answer to snine observetions
which had fallen from the other side of the House,
he should only say, diet the }lnk. Member (Sir
Samuel Romilly), had given vent to a spirit not
less rancorous than that which he had condemned
in another (Dr. Duigenaa.j The great and ex-
alted friend (Mr. Pitt) of the Noble Viscount (Mel.
vine), thus bitterly attacked, had not exerted his
great influence and power to primed his Lordship;
and, therefore, it was not surprising that the ac.
cusing party, aided by fedion, and taking advan.
tage of the false suspicions so mischievously cir.
culated, should have succeeded in their attempt.
The Learned Member had Laid, that the word
gouty must echo in his Lordship's ears.but why not
the word airataie Now far, he esked, would
that Gentleman carry his passion for blood and
punishment ? Yes, it was the acquittal that tor.
tured him, .4 Isanet ciru fame eepoirtum." He could
not forgive, even after a lapse of s i much
time. an acquittal in spite of all his exertions. The
Gentlemen on the other side lavished praises upon
His Majesty, and at the sane time weuld charge
that he had secret adviser, ; than; insinuating that
His Majesty was not capable of exercising hi. con-
science, or siting front the deletes of his own
mind. He believed, however, that the condud and
firmness thew; by His Majesty Ilion this offnesioni
would prove the contrary.
Sir S. ROM ILLY explained.
Mr. WHI I'BREAD. in a long an./ argument*.

the beads, observed that the doetrines inculcated by
the other side of the House, were a grass msrepte-

With respell to the case of Viscount Melville, he
should ever ref, 11 upon It with pride ; and he was
surprised to find, that his Lordship had heel,
called to His Majesty's Commits, with the Reso-
lotions against hint unrescinded upon the Jour.
mils. If stash were the fa.% lie should not hesi.
tate to say, that Ministers had advised the King
to do that which was disrespeitul to the House,
and displeasing to the country; Mr. Pitt having
assured the House, that while these Resolutions
should remain unrescieded, Lord Melville's return
to any °dice of trust, power, or emolument. was im-
possible. The present motion, he Admitted, it car.
vied, must be followed by others. It is the right of
the Cronn, no dooht, to choose its Ministers, lest
Parliament have also a sight to express their opiaiiie
upon its exercise.
Mr. ROSE contended, that there was no re-
sponsible adviser of the Crown, when His Majesty
called tor the pledge front the late Ministers.
