Wiest those retnros'etre produced, he shoold take
the earliest opportunity of tippoisiting u day ter
that discussion, which lie wax most anxious to hes
troduce. It was impossible to expert them so
early as Monday, and therefore he &Ir obliged to
postpone the-motion, of which he had yesterday
given notice, for next Tuesday.
Lord HOLLAND expressed his most *singable
hopes that the liable Viscount would be neither
persuaded or deterred by the absence or refund of
in •docuents, from bringing before that Iluase a
motion involving sat+ extensive interests, and in
which the national character was so materially im-
plicated. Ile had heard that not only were ships
belongiug to the Danish people seized, previous to
a declaration of hostilities, but that though released
by the ailj odication of our Prize Courts, they were,
iabsequently from the breaking out of war, allowed '
as prize* to the original captors. This was a too:l-
-otions and unjustifiable principle ; it was mooring
to en:dicey Rod injustice the fruits of its spoliation,
and otakiug the Constitution of the country
the instrurneat of rewarding the violation, nut
slower og.dtw sib_ Wannest state* bat of the
settled provisions of the municipal law. If such
a bysttta waste be coutinued„ every privateer had,
in the present situation of the world, only to
sail upon a cruise, detaining every ship, set:hoot
con, ideratioh to either moral or political tight:
when brought into a British port, the jnstice, of out
Prize Courts Would declare the capture il!ega' ; • :in
the erigifial aggressorhad the advantage of snapped;
and the probability was, that before that process was
terminated, this country would be awer with the
wetly neutral nation to which the ship so detained
heloftged. Would not the character of Great Bri-
ttle be essentially injured by such a etwegard of
every upright feeling and principle of cooduet ?
Much had been said, and deservedly, of the tour-
ellous paint seeming to the
,Crown from the drains
of Aduairalty. To tuck grants he was decidedly
hostile ; hut such an impropriety was trifiing,.com-
pared with the criminality of ttlitrisiug an ortgiu4
uegressor of neutral rights, after the conduct that
followed had heeu reprobated by the deci-
sion of our Courts of Justice, to take advantage of
oubsequenthoritilities, and to beguaranteeti, by the
usage of the British Guvernuieut, to the enjoyment
of his robbery and spoliatious. For the sake of
justice, for the character of England, he trusted
the subject would be fully investigated, and that
the result would redeem the character of the ()alma
fries the base ouspicion of eucouraging a system so
repusiant• to every vrinciple of honour and of
Lord HAWILESSURY said, that he was
mean* inclined to oppose the inotiou of the Noble
Viscount (Sidtnouth.) But as it involved such se-
tr,is considerations, and embraced ohieeoi so exten-
sive, he did trust, that when the ay came, on
which he shonid think proper to Az the period of
ultimate tli*estinou, he would acquaint their
Lordships with the particular tendency and object
of his intended nuition. With respect to what
fallen from his Noble Friend opposite !Holland,)
he had only to ray, without at al! adverting to the
merits or demerits of the rule which had been eeted
upon, that in the case of the Denial ships no inno-
vation had been introduced, sod that the very saute
course was followed, as was adopted in the case of
the Pus inn ships, by that Administration with
which his Noble Frieud was so particularly coat-
'Meted.

Lord 110u.ano, in explanation, observed, that
in delivering his opinion on the injustice of the sys-
tem which he reprobated, he was by no means ac-
tuated by any feeling of hostility or attack to say
NliniAtry. But he found that it was iiripoioible for
the Nolile Secretary, even for i moment, to deviate
14. a that line of defence, which eharfteterised his
Ilinirtry. Totally regardless of the tatritniic merits
or defects of any question, the oily weapon in their
bandit was ree,imittation. It vas true, c!thongh he

• Mr. Lotto, in purau*iaa of his melee, rose to

(u ntle-

Material elterationa were Since the
time of pasting the bill, is 17961, there 11114 been
delivered five accounts of the Paymester-
Gtstie.al of the loners, only oue of which bad been
eiitniaed. These accounts were. for part of the
Sear 17ost, while there remained aceouuts un-
examiiied nod unaudi.ed fur twenty-tire years.—
This *hewed either that some great neglect had
&intro, or that noun dein:twig existed in the regu-
lation or the existing laws. He was pertaaiied that
the neglect was Rot to he attributed to those who
at preheat held any of the Offices conute'etd with
this diva:linen, as it was not in their power to pro.
duce theme materials that were oecetwary; nor could
be *taiga any neglect mu the *ace of the Secretary
at War. He was persuaded it was alone to be ac-
eratuted for ley the defect iu the uniting laws.
'These were many of the regulations in Mr.lßurke's
Act upon this aubieet, which he highly approv.
el .0. '1(41 us that which reqaired Menemy and
the amounts re he kent at the public Bank. But
knowing as he did that Mr. Burke possessed as
much kuowledge of political mammy as any
man, it was uo disparagement to his memory
to toy, that the habits of that geutleman'a life did
not nod him to atteol to all the stagnant of public
expenditure, and coanqueatly his Boil was deli-
- strut ins various respects. Previous to that
Act, all sums for the payment of regiments
were voted for the hill establishment, by tike Houle
of Cournous, to be paid from the office of the
Beeretsre at 'iVar. This mosey was divided under
various heads, the principal of which was, that for
the sate:steam of regiments, and after that was
done there was a fund lA, which was called "1 The
Noe-effective Account," which was paid into the
balsams of agents, sod applied for recruiting regi-
bens that. were deficient in their complement.
'Mr. Mirky's act made the money be paid frotn the
.drat, under eertaiii heads, and provided, that the
accounts of regiments should he iirst ezentinotl, anti
then a is arrant to be issued limn the Secretary at
.War should be the document to the Paymaster-
Clown!. Now here was the defect—there was no
necessity for the Paymaster-Greneral waiting for the
examinnien of rieeinentel accounts, and this he
lateatled to remedy- by the present Bill. The Pay-
=aster-Gwent' should (ably be required to give in
&vomits when lie had reeeltdd the necterary docu-
ments, a :trek which would afford the public com-
plete security. The defect was, that all sums is.
tined by the ihsyinaster-f ;entry! were Called to sub-
altern% who were required to deliver in their ac.

001111ITTZ1 OF SOFPLY.
motiocmt COLLEGE.

Upon the motion nt 111 r. F'u rs the House
went into it Committee .1 Supply, wherein he .u,
milted a Resolution for the support of the tionian
Catholic College at \lay-tooth. He statedahat the
original sum given by linverutnent was e.oooi.
but that last year a further sam had brew granted,
for the purpose of building additional .11CCOUll
deficit's for the students. The whole then amounted
to 13,0001. and the scholars to 250, which being
50 mote thin originally intended, he should pro-
pose• to make some addition to the o:•iguital allow..
once for their maintenance and education. He
then concluded with moving :
`rTliat it is the opinion of this Committee, Hint the ame
safg,estd. Irish convoy be granted fro defraying the atom
of the Coheir of Maroons, fruto the sth of Januery, Dm,
to the Stlt of January, isoo."
Sir J ins Nevi PORT said, he rose for the pur-
pose of gloving, " That instead of the above aunt,
the sum of 13.000 i. should be substituted in said
Resolut mu." The College was originally intended
for the accommodation .1. 400 students ; hut at the
period while there was no war upon the Continent,
and previous to the French Revolution, there acre
no less than .478 scholars, who received their edu-
cation upon the Contiuent, intended for the Ca-
tholic priesthood. Muny of these received gratui-
tous support in Flanders, Spain, Route, and Lisbon.
But since the greater part of the Continent had be-
come subjugated to the dominion of France, none
of those being so educated, it was found impossible
to supply the deficiency in Ireland, otherwise than
by augmenting the number educated at this in-
stitution. There was in all a supply of 4ili in
the year 1793, and it could not he reasonaby sup-
posed that there could be less occasion for them in
Maori. when it was known that a great increase of
po;nalatiou had taken place. He was ate less to
lertaw upon what principles the present Adminis-
tration could think of withholding that support
which was deemed necessary by the former Ad-
min;stration, unless it was merely because the
aug nentatioa to the original grant was on set of
the former Administration. Could it he the wish
of that House. watching as they ought to do,
over the welfare of the community. that the
priesthood of Ireland should be uneducated ?
This must be the case, should tbcy think of wit-
rowing the grant which was thouelit necessary for
that education. The College of slaynooth had
come to a detercuination to exclude any person who

transferred himself for education to ileris, at the
time when that was possible, as they deemed such
education Ism proper than one obtaiued in Ireland;
and was this the return to make to a body of men
who shewed themselves so careful of the mode of in-
struction to four millions of the community
could only attribute such at proposed curtailment to
complete infatuation, as it was adopting the very
worst means to reconcile the great body of the po-
pulation, by taking them from the controul advise
who were best adapted to give then iiroper in-
struction, and hearing them to the directions of an
ignorant priesthood. Government would in vain
attempt to make the Roman Catholics Protes-
tants by such • step, or make them better
suliacts. The Roman Catholics of Ireland must
attribute such a conduit to downright bigotry in
the Legislator', and consequently would be in-
(lined tis he worse subject... (Ilere the Right
floe. Bart. read a letter from Doctor Dunn, to the
Government of Ireland, and aliother document, to
chew that thtre was a deficiency M the iwiesthoinl).
lie should conceive, that it would he the principle
of every wise C.-wen:went, to bring under their
controttl eliteutioa of such large Igely of the
country's itol,a:atiou. If they did not, lie should
bissient the eouwalitences that were likely to ensue
by their coinnaitting.the guidance of such a lan,,e
portion of the people to their ignorant priesthood.
If they looked to ,arasselyting that class of His
subjects, they would have a better change of
icreuding by giviug them itupriietion.
Sir ArTMta WILLS:M.IA mid, he agreed with
the ori.tioril :esolation propri,etl by his Right !loth
Fricnd, fr.an a couvictioli that the tr.ainbta of

intended that t r.s i!toitiuttioa of the Col-
Nlnynootii should be aL the expense of the

)

public, as would be seen by the original memorial
presented to the Lord Lk uteaunit iu 17;y2. It had
now fallen upon the public to educate ,250 per-
sona, herides which there were 111 students is other
institutiona iu Irelaud, amounting in all to 34it
regularly educated. Add to (lase the 470 who
were educated 013 the Continent, where massy of
them had nut ntaitied theiuselt es by the exercise of
their functions,• having re,:eivcd Piiest's ordirs be-
fore they went abroad. Mauy of there had re-
turned, and upon the whole he thought the uuntr
her amiay sufficiatit.
bir JOHN NswroaT slid, that the 111 students
alluded to by the Right Don. Gent. were educated
ul seinivaries mertify preparatory to their admissiou
into Cie College of Alayoodth.
Mr. I'ONtiONOT observed, that the sum of
34361. was the whole saviug which was thus to be
effected by the present
.Miuistry, and this, no
doubt, he should suppose arose from their violent
spirit for (economy, cud not to cast a slur upon the
former Administration; nor by shewing their
ligotted sentiments, to cast an affront upon
the great body of the people. Had they evinced
nay such spirit of (motion:y.ln regard to the Dublin
Police Bill, for which they -had lately voted
20,0001. ? Did the Right Hononoureble flea-
tleman advert to this, that by endeavouriug to wake
this saving of 371101. he was running the risk of de-
posit iug a great portion of four millions of the peo-
ple of a proper education ? That Right Honour-

. . . .
able Gentleman seemed to think that there war
Slid' benefit attaching to foreign education. that
those priests who had been educated abroad and

rrtetrhed were to become imtnortul. Rus it not

to he atippored that they were as subject to death
as those wh•. had been educated•in Ireland ?, The
deticiency was ,such, thut many of the studenttrhad
t.ce., taken out of the colleges before they had
emnpleted their seven years education, in order
to supply the aur.uul demand. The Colh ge of
Maytiamb eked the sues of 13,0001. as a favour,
and it was to be suppmed they had estimated
tile ittecssity wisely. ,1 as it wise, then. under
inc wl.fne eiicmu►tuiim of the case, for Go-

rernmeitt to refuse this twsistrusee ? To how many
worse purposes would suvh s sum as that now
sought for be probably applied by this present Pat-
ilausellt T It was really impossible to inasigti any
cantle for the conduct of Ministerv, bat the plea-
sure they felt in refusing a favour to the Catholics,
which had been granted by the former Adminis-

was deemed sufficient, and which they might

but wise to put them is as good humour as po-si-

The Catseceu.oa of the EXCIIEQUER rose to an-
swer the statements of the Right Honourable
Member who had preceded him. The Right
Honourable Gentleman had admitted, in seine

sort of way, that His Majesty's Ministers were
alone actuated by motives of teem: any, in the wish
they had displayed to retrench the supplies for the
Catholic College. Yet he had almost, in the
same breath, compared the expenditure about to be
created by the uew police system of Dublin, with
its advantages, to the additional expense of late in-
curred by this college, with the advantages result-
ing to the Irish population at large from the in-
crease of their spintuad teachers; stud after drawing
a picture extremely favourable to the claims of the
Catholic'College, he had placed the Ministry in a-
las:sat invidious situation, by assertii', they hall
wantonly refused, to the great muss of the Irish
nation, that which it was in their power to grant as
a favour; stud it was their interest to grant, as a
matter of policy. What sort of keling dill he sup-
pose the Millistry to have, thus wantonly and inju-
diciously to trifle with * whole people ? It must
certainly, at least lie hoped lie must have been as
much actuated by a spirit of irony in this asser-
tion, us he bud been in the complhuseuts so lavishly
poured forth upou the meonomy of His Nlasjesty's
servants. His sentiment, were perfectly the re-
verse of those imputed to him ; he was averse to
refusing any thing agreeable to the public sea-
tiinents, if it could reasonably be complied with.
But the grant slid not partake or the irk of tole-
no ion, as it laid beeu stated. If so, with equal itt.
tice might all isoncsnstOrriiists, methodists', and
quaker., come forward and argue, that, as they
were tolerated, these destined to become t..cir
Clergymen, should also be supported at the public
expense, while at the seminary or entitle is which
tbey were preparing fur the sacred office. hi his
idea, toleration did not stand on a linnet. foundation,
when supported by nuinber‘ than if there existed
but one individual nonconformist in the whole
country. It had been said, that sauce the Alissistri
Pertlitli to be averse to the menatensince of those
destined to become Roman Catholic Clergy, why
did they uot, iii a manly manner, cense fore and and
abject to the grant altogether? He would aiss7.er,

in their zeal, to limit their request for assistauce,
by the imperiousneteof the demand. Neither were
beret' years, as had been said, necessary for per-
fecting the education of Priests, since it stood oe
record, that merry took orders after four years con.
tinning in College ; any, that before the Uii;oa,
most had best received orders, and afterwards re-
tired to foreign conntries to obtain an education.
If there were any thing, which the House and
this country would be agreed in, it was probilhiv
the necessity of encouraging rather the growtit
and prosperity of the Protestant religion, than
that of Catholicism. Front these considerations, he
thought it much better to correct the exuberance
of last year's vote.

Mr. Pot% SON BY maintained, in explanation, that
thi. sum granted *us a curtailed grant, niece there
was only a provision made for 450, while Govern-
ment bad promised, after its foundation, a pro-
vision for 400 students.

House, an increase had bran made.

Ml.' ELLIOT weniiuto the history of the f allege
froxi ita foundation. The original grant lad been
1.13000 per annum. During the period of the late
administration, it had been considered too incon-
siderable, and had been increased to nearly double
that bum, by efr vote of that House ; before this
grant li.ul passed into a law, the Parliament dis-
solved suddenly, and the new Ministry were very
near trying the temper of the House, by propos%
a tlntaindtion of the supply as it then stood. This
.however, tAey afterwards thought inexpedient, as
they discovered the Trustees of that College bad
octal eti the faith of that grant, and added consi-
derably to the establishment. He was .nrprised

the whale matter as a question merely of architre.
tort, and not in the least one of policy, and had
contented himself with saying. 550 students were an
abundant supply for the priesthood in Ireland.
The fact., he conjectured, was this : The matter,.
SO it stood, bras one of compromise. It had Loren,
he belieted.-dirussed in the Cabinet;. and though
. the Catholics had not there many friends, yet, as
the terror at popery fell more lightly on the beads
of some than °than, they had come to a decision,
frequent enough in such cases, viz. that of splitting
the difference; the. 4he grant it was resolved
should be reduced to one half its former sum.—
The grant was certMuly not without a precedeut ;
nod it was. but trilling with the feelings of the coun-
try to refuse them in this year what the House had
thought the preceding year absolutely necessary.
Because every thing could riot be done, .some were
of opinion nothing should be done, or else a new
system should be streak oat. He was oft different
opinion ; Ireland was wily to be made what it ought
to be, by taking it as it was, and using the ordinary
means' we had in our power. Education was the
grand means' of 'reform there. The penal code,
coercion, and persecution, had been-tried, as some
had seemed to insinuate it should, again and had
all failed. These would only render the ca-
tholics bad subjects and bad chrietians, hut they
would never make them Protestants. Nothing
could be ,narne destructive to the morals and ten-
duct of a nation than an ilbiregulated clergy.—
Oi the superior Roman Catholic Clergy ho could
alien, they were men of exemplary conduct and
sound political principles. If the parochial were in
some instances to be excepted. it arose from that
very want of information which the late Ministry
had endeavoured, last year, to correct. It remained
to consider whether the House would, by educating.
on a liberal and enlightened plan, the Catholic
Clergy, at a seminary to their native country, lay
then, under an obligation. and unite them with the
saber subjects of the laud, in obedience to the
leas and loyalty to the established Goverement, of
by compelling them to seek au eduattion in foreign
countries, where they lutist unavoidably nubile
principles and prejudices injurious to the political
and moral dispositions of those who may afterwards
become the objects of their religious rare ? He was
inure and more convinced of the impolicy and oar-
Lowness of attacking, at this moment particularly,
iii so wanton and unjustitiable a manner, the feelings
of a whole nation. '
