COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY.
Mr. lIUSKISSON moved, " That the House
do go into a Committee of Supply."
And Mr. FOSTER moved, " That the several
Estimates which were not formerly referred, includ-
ing the Estimate for the Roman Catholic Seminary
at Maynooth, be submitted to said Committee."—

- .
Ordered.
Mr. FOSTER accordingly moved, "That the

sum of
6,2371. be granted to His Majesty for the Barrack Depart-
ment of Great Britain. for IS I.
841,0001 for the Cu.nmissary Department of Great Britain.
10,3611. to make good a Balance due on account of the
Capture of th Swerd:sh Convoy
10,0001. Irish Currelicy, fur Paving, Cleansing, awl Light-
ing the Streets of Duolin, for the year 18J7 8.
3,4981. Irish Currency, for defraying the expense of receiv-
ing Evidotee in Ireland, upon the sewed Petitions presented
•gaunt Returns to Parliament, fur the year 18 .7."
Mr. FOSTER then stated to the Committee,
that as to Maynooth College, he had tormetly men•
tinned that it was his intention to propose only the
usual sum of 80001: towards defraying the expense
of the original estimates. He wished now to ob-
serve, that when this College was first instituted, in
the year 1799, it was understood as being the uni-
versal sense of the Iris's Parliament, that that Se-
minary should he thereby completed, to the full ex-
tent, for editeatiog all pert ma that were required
for the ecclesias ical establis .ments of Ireland.—
This was granted upon the principle of its be-
ing better to have Roman Catholic Priests edu-
cated at home than abroad. The original esta-
blishment sifts for the education of two hundred
scholars In the course of last Session, a further
sum of 50001. was ask d, for the purpose of making
an addition .o the semina•y, and to double the num-
ber of scholars. This having been propmed wit'.-
out any inquiry having heen instituted either on the
part of the United Parliament, oi any previous in-
vestigation by t'le Irish House or Commons, at the
time of its existence, no document whatever had
been laid before him to guide his judgment upan
the subjea He hat therefore thought it proper to
pau-e a little before he adopted a system that would
entail considerable expense, airl with the political
resu!ts of which we were totally unacquainted.—
After which, finding. however, that the work of
building hail been already begun, and part of the
additional sum or money so proposed to have been
granted. had been expended, he saws that if it was
not attually so previded, the expense most necessa-
. rily fall to be taken out of the usual grant for that
establishment. On that ground alone he meant to
propose that the sum of 50001. should be granted
al ; with the 80001. originally voted by the Irish
Painament ; but under this coudition, that he did
not mean to provide that additional sem annually,for
doubling the number of studenti in that University,
the oriAinal number bring ()mid sufficient for filling
every situation in Ireland that the Roman Catholic
Estaulishment might be called upon to fill. With
that view he should propse that the sum of

15,0.001. Fish eureney, be gttnted to Ilia Ne.f-%te, Cot A,
f•eyth: the charger of the It I.nan Cathnbc Srnonary ru
1-ei.in4, from the Stn of January 11 to the bti, January
1838.

Mr. ELLIOT I' rose, and ohserved, that there
as as no institution in which he felt a greater degree
of anxiety and interest, than in that for which this
gran: was now proposed. It was not his intention
now to provoke discussion upon this matter, but,
morely to animadvert on whiflad fallen from the
Right Hon. Gentleman. He tMr. Foster) had in-
sisted, that there was a want of clocumeats to au-
thorize the additional grant which had been for-
merly submitted to the consideration of Parliament ;
but he (Mr. Elliot) thought that there was no such
deficiency of documms. The Petitian itself stated
ample grounds to induce the House to grant this
additional sum ; and he was persuaded, if the Right
Hon. Gentleman had inquired, he would have
found, that the Irish Parliament bad formerly in-
vestigated the subjea, and the result of their inves-
tigation was, that there was not a suffi:iont source
for the instruilion of Roman Catholics, unless some
were to be sent out of the country to receive a fo-
reign education, whicl. certainly was not so deaira-
ble as a home one. He appealed to the candour
of the House, whether it would not have been most
irjarious to the feelings of men, whom it was our
duty to conciliate, had :his been objeCted to, after
evidence of its necessity had been laid before the
House? He, therefore, cortaiiily applaqded and
approved of the Han. Gentlemr,'s proposing the
liesolui.on as it now stood, as he would have repro-
bated a contrary cnndue.
Mr. HAWKINS BROWNE said. he was very
far from objeEling to this institution, as originally
created by the Parliament of Ireland ; but had he
been a Member of that Parliament, lie should have
op; °red the whole of the Grant which was made
to it. Ishe question now was not whether the
Rotran Catholic Priests of Ireland should be edu-
cated at home or abroad, but whether they should
be educated at the expense of the people of their
own per suasion, or at the expense of the public ? He
behoved this was the first instance of the Govern-
thent of any country ever conttihuting to the in-
strueion of people of a contrary religion to the
established one. The public were to teach a con-
trar y religion from that which they professed, by sup-
plyng the money to do it. The College of May-
:moth were thus to be ins rueed in a religion which
Members of P irhament all abjured when taking their
seats in that I louse. He certainly, however, should
no: hive opposed this grant, nor this additional
sum fur building. had it been merely for the pur-
pose of receiving people to be instrueed at the ex-
prns- of the Roman Catholics themselves, and not
at the expense of the public. However much Par-
liament might be disposed to shew favour to the
lit-itnan Catholics of Ireland, it was nit surely de-
sirable that it shouid promote the increase of those
"Ito professed such religious principles. Supersti-
tion and bigotry appeared to be gaining grre:nd
more than ever in Ireland. and that by the Gondiss
and muitipiicity of Priests in that country. %Visite
he lamented, very sincerely. Os see the great number
of Priests and their influence, he certainly should
riot be a oartv to looming I4lrlie After what bad

passed last Parliament upon this suhjea, and after
part of the edifice had bees begun, he shopld nor
.wish to oppose the grant made upon this occasion,
but he certainly should wish to prevent any such
fame applications of the public money.
Mr. WINDHAM said, he did not kndw how
far this discussion might be applicable to the ques-
tion before toe Committee, but when he found it
introdliced by Gentlemen upon the other side of the
House, he thought he might venture to follow
them, considering it as deep water.—(l laugh.)
The lion. Gentleman who had last spoken,seerned
to consider it as a singular instance, and an anomaly,
that the Government of a country snould under-
take the teaching of a religion different from that
which is established ; he should upon that observe,
that this might or might nut be an anomaly, bto
still hr should say, that it was the peculiar situation
of Ireland, at this present moment, that called for
some exertions and concessions on the part of Go-
vernment in her behalf. He must upon such an oc-
casion protest against all arguments drawn from
general practice, unless it could be made out that
that practice had existed formerly under similar cir-
cumstances. Before he knew whether he was to
consider it as illegal or not, he must kadw whether
the existence of that religion was to be considered
in relation to the bulk of the populatioa? whether
the case was then argued upon the footing of hav-
ing no religion at all ? whether religion, it any were
existing, could be disseminated without proper per-
sons to instruct others, and to teach it ? or whether
we were to have the religion of a barbarous and un-
instructed people, by an education abroad ? When
it was said, that this is a religion of a gross, illite-
rate, and barbarous state, he would ask whose fault
that was owing to ? He must say, that the vel y
existence of the Papery Laws was the cause of that
alleged barbarity. The effein of suppressing flee
means of instruction would not be to cuovert Roman
Catholics to Protestantism, but, on the contrary,
lead them into all the most dangerous superstitions
and bigotry of their own. It would certainly be gross
amongst a gross people. But lie did not know that
amongst the enlightened people of that country any
such feeling exists as to those who professed the reli-
gion of this country. He believed, indeed, that th.tt
grossness which an Hon. Gentleman had alluded
to. was more conspicuous amongst some people
who professed the religion of this country, than it
was in Irelands as the late cry of No Popery," had
evinced.—(Hear! hear ! bear!) No conduct of
the Catholics of Ireland had evinced such gross
ignorance. vulgar prejudice, and blindness, as had
been shown by that sort of Protestantism which we
had lately in this countre. The present situation of
Ireland was such, that although the religion there
prevailing bad not a preference amongst our par.
tielities, it was undoubtedly preferable to no reli-
gion at all; and. therdore, not being able to con-
vert the people of our sister country into Protest-
aftts, it was surely the interest of the United
Kingdom, that they should be as good Catholics as
Catholics could be made. The Goveinasent of the
country having taken the lead in the cry of "Na
Popery," it was certainly their duty to adopt
the most proper mode to effen their °Ned, which
was alone to be done, by giving teem the best in,
striation at home. Being convinced that it was the
interest of the country to do this to the fullest et•
tent, Oe most heartily approved of the grant now
proposed.
Mr. HAWKINS BROWNF. explained. and said,
that he bunny concurred in the propriety of giv-
ing instrodicm to the Roman Catholics, but not that
sort of instruction which had relation to their own
religion. If it were possible to introduce parochial
schools, to instruct them along with Protestants in
feuding and writing, and on the great paint 4 'es of
religion in which we all agree. that he thought
would promote benefit to Ireland, mote than any
measure whatever.
Mr. PARNE.LL said, that as the Hon. Gentle-
man who had just sat down, bad expressed his re-
gret at seeing an Establishment under the support
of Government. for interne:lion in a religion con-
trary to that of the State, he thought this gave
him (Mr. Parnell) an opportunity of explaining to
the Houses in a satisfatiory manner, what the prin.
ciples of that religion, which was so much execrat-
ed, were, and how far they were repugnant to the
established religion of the country. Ha really and
most sincerely believed, that the existing prejudices
arose from no other cause, but a misunderstanding
of what the nature of those principles were. H:
had in his hand the Roman Catholic Prayer Book,
which the Priests put into the hands of the lower
orders of Irish Catholics. In that book was con-
tained a compilation of the whole of those prin-
ciples, by Dr. Coppinger, Titular Bishop of Cloyne,
and as it would tend, so his view of the subjelt. ma-
terially to elucidate the matter now under discus-
sion, he should rake the liberty of reading a few re-
tools (tom it. Here the Hon. Member read as fol-
low. It is no matter of faith that the Church can-
noterr, either in matters of fn.% of speculation, or
civil police, depending on mere human reason, these
not being divine revelations deposited in the Ca-
tholic Church. Hence is deduced 'lf a General
Council, much less a Papal consisrory, should pre-
sume to depose a King, and to absolve his sabjeCts
from their allegiance, no Catholic should be bound
to submit to such a decree.' Hence it follows, that
the subjects of the King of England 1 tulully may,
without the least breach of any Catholic prin-
ciple, renounce, upon oath, the teaching or pre--
tising the doctrine of deposing Kings. excommu-
ntcated for heresy, by any authority whatsoever,
as repugnant to the fundamental laws of the na-
tion, as injurious to Sovereign power. and as de.
struttive to peace and Government. It is no mat-
ter of faith to believe, that the Pope is himself in-
fallible, separate from the Church, even in expound-
ing the faith. By consequence. papal deSnitions,
or decrees, taken exclusively from the General
Council, are universal exceptions to the Church,
and oblige none, under the pain of heresy, to an in.
tenor assent ; nor do Catholics, as Catholics, believe
that the Pope has any direA or indireet authority
over the temporal power or jurisdietion of Princes ;
hence. if the Pope shall pretend to absolve or do-
pense His Majesty's subjetes from their allegiance.
on account of heresy or schism. such dispensation
would be null and void ; and Catholic sublease not-
withstanding such dispensation of absolution. would
he still bound in conscience todefend their King and
country at the board of their lieu alai Rota:lei,

as nir as Protestants would be bound. even against
the Pope himself, if he were to invade the nation.
As for the problematical disputes or errors of par-
ticular divines, in this or any other matter whatever,
sitar* in no ways responsible for them, nor are Ca-
tholics, such, jitstly punishable on their account.
As for thelting-killing doctrine or minder of Princes
excommunicated for heresy, it is universally admit-
ted in the Catholic China. and expressly so de-
clared in the Council of Constance, that such doc-
trine i 9 impious and execrable, being contrary to the
known law of God and Nature* it is a tUndamental
truth in our religion. that no power on earth eau li•
cense men to lie, forswear, or perjure themselves, to
massacre their neighbours, or destroy their native
' country, under the pretence of promoting the Ca-
tholic cause or religion. Furthermore, all pa-dons
or dispensations, granted, or pretunde(! v.) be
granted, in order to any web ends Cr designs,
could have no other validity or area, titan to add
sacrilege or blasphemy to the above-mentioned
crimes." The Hoe. Gentleman continued aA

said, that he did not mean to animad:ert upon
these principles. It was sufficient to re Id thchi, to
show the absurdity of 'hose prejudices which existed
again ,t them. The from which he had read
was the Commoo Prayer Book, which was ir, use
amongst the Catholic suby in Ireland, as com-
mon as the Prayer Book which n. • in use in this
country, the principles of Winch we believe can
alone lead to salvation. Upon these gsniurds, he
thought himself warra-ated in as sting, that the
Catholics of Ireland did van entertain any religious
tenets whatever, that were INCOribi:tent with the
leaging and material poles of tie Pautestant Re-

Mr. WINUHAM explained, awl said, that the
Chiirch of England, rejeffing various tenets of the
Church of Rome, only showed our belief of reeclo-
tion ; but the two Churches kept much closer to-
iv.ther than we were aware ot. The Church of
Rome had all that we had, but we had not all which
they had ; we having kept a part, and rejected that
which we thought erroneous.
Mr. W. SMITH said, he thougl.t it was of
greater importance that the people should be all
liberal and enlightened, than that we should con-
sider whether they were Protestants or Ca:holics.
Was it not of greater advantage to the State that
the Roman Catholics should be enlightened by
Priests educated under the immediate eye of Go-
, verninent, than that they should be taught in any
mode their parents might be pleased to instruit
them ? He should advise it as being infinitely more
consistent with sound policy and expediency, that
the Government should take the whole upon them-
selves. The doctrines in which they wars -warn/led
at this seminary, were such as were likely to make
them good subje6s of the State. They declare
their profession to be, that no power can absolve
them from the oath of Allegiance. He should
wish to know why, if we belive them in this.
and trust them in some things, we do not
entrust them with every thing I If we believer
the Roman Catholics to be incapable to be
trusted in political matters, why do we trust them
in the social intercourse between man and nian ?
How could we get rid of this dilemma, either in
theory or in pro/lice ? The safest end the only way
would be to believe, that Roman Catholics are
like all other men who are good sahjeat of the
state. Now, he wished to say a word ,r two upon
• what was denominated erderetren. He thought
that that word, or the abuse of it, led men into
very false mode:, both of thinking and of aging.
Toleration was what led one man itt give to ..glO-
- a liberty to protease what he believed not
himself. This 'hewed a false idea of superiority ; but
against this, he (Mr. Smith) did heartily protest,
as he thought that the majority had no more right
to controul their opponents in religious matters. than
the minority had to controul theirs; and therefore to
talk of toleration in such cases, was to inculcate a
false and erroneous opinion, leading men into errors
contracliSed by pra&ice. It was evident that we. i
this country, bad made very small progress in refl.•
Eying or doing away this error, during the space of
two centut les ; when we recolleEted the woman
named Catherine de Medicis, who was one of the
greatest tyrants in every thing but liberty of con-
science, the last instruCtions she left to her son were,
to grant liberty of conscience to all his subjeas. for
she hid seen Iron. her oar. experience, and knew
from that of others, that religious differences, and
the distutbances that arose from them, were never
to be composed by force. This was an event of
two centuries ago. and it appeared to him that we
had not get one step farther, nor so much enligh-
tened upon the subj.h at toleration as that woman,
who was so much reprobated for the other parts of
her conduit ; and this too at a moment, when, be-
yond aU others, there seemed to be incomparably
the greatest reason to cart y religious liberty to the
greatest extent. The Right lion. Gentleman (Mr.
Foster) had said. that he did not mean to pledge
himself to give this additional grant in future; but
he hoped that every rnonieut's refleaion from this
time to that when it must again come before the
House. would convince him that what be had done
Was wise and prudent ; that he would give with a
good grace to the Roman Catholics, not only that.
but eve-y civil privilege, and make them lose every
charatteristic math which has tended to raise the
country against them.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, that although he was convinced of tile pro-
priety of general instruiStion. yet it would respire
more argument than he had yet heard, to convince
him that it would be proper to raise and Mama a
priesthood to disseminate a Religiom contrary to
that which was established in the country. How-
ever much be obje9ed to the motion for an addi-
tional grant to the College of Maywood) during
last Session. he was prepard to approve of the pro-
position of his Right Hon Friend, in this one. us it
appeared that a considerable issue cf. money had
been already made.and buildn,is commenced, which
made it necessary that good faith should be kept by
Parliament. It might create a degree of dissatisfaSion
and resentment. if it were to be found, that this pre-
sent Administration were inclined to make this grant
the only exception to the measures of the former
Administration, to which they bad agreed. He
did, however, believe. that it was one of the firs:
instances in history. of a Parliament providing for
the insuuction of soy set of people in a religion
contrary to what they themselves professed I apd dos

Lord lIENRY PETTY vindicated the Ire Ad-
ministration in bringing forward the motion ef ties
additional grant for the Seminary at Msi..l nth ;
it had served to promote a system of useful '.. ,- w.
ledge amongst the lower orders in !relate]. lie
sort of system of education which the Right Iron.
Gentleman had spoken of, could only refer to the
Catholic Laity ; but it the Catholic Religion be re-
cognised in Ireland, the means of education onght
to be afforded them ; but this was not intended to
raise tie and perpetuate a Catholic Priesthood, fee
the Roman Catholic Religion had. under various
circumstances, been perpetuated in Ireland from
one generation to another. It the means of educe-
ton were nut Afforded them in Ireland, they wield
look for the same education abroad, whrr, thee
would find inculcated all the dangerous extremes cE
Popery, is addition to other dangerous dodtrines cE
Civil Government ; or, as they would at all eves
tontine to exist, would it be eipediett to allow
them to exist without any education ? Fire precise
summate in which different religious sentiments
have been carried to she most dangerous extent,
were madly those when attempts were made to out
them down by force. Was it net thus with respett
to the Presbyterian Religion in Scotland, in the times
of the Coveaanters when. by a barbarous policy.
they were perseeutei by the then Govertuneet. But
these very dodrines bad now becnn.e harinitis.
whets brought finch to the observation of de world :
it was only when chdrines were ink, and concealed,
Inc. mysterimis, that they became dangerous. He
atilwed that the most (unexceptionable mode of
carrying on the education at Maynnoth should be
~,!opted; but this was 101 t, as the Right Hearer-
able Gentleman suppoora, kept out of the eye of
'.:;ovetnrnent, nor shut out from public observation.
Government have it is their power to ascertain
whatever tegulatioos were carried on in tLat semi-
nary, as there were fire visitor, legally appointed,
viz. the Lord Chancellor of Ireland. the Irish Chan-
cellor of dm Exchequer. and Ares Qf the Judges.--
(To prove this his Lordship read the Ad which
related to this eubjea). He acknowledged, that
mist of the Professors in the Seminary at Maynooth
had received a foreign education...and that some of
them were foreigners; hut this was Owing to the
cireunsstance of the low 'tato, in punt of eito,s.

viously been reduced its Ireland; but if Govern.
Milt took the education of this priesthood books
own hands, although it nsight ho called a Catholic
Establishotent, it would still be Irish sad not fa
reign. The Memben of the late Administration
had made local inquiries respelling that establish.
mint. before they moved for the additional grant.
Why did not the present Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer then objeft f (Mr. rERCEVAL said.

public money was concerned ? The Right Hon.

ter was not the ouly one foe the purpose of sus
ing Protestant Clergymen in Ireland.

support the Protestants in Ireland. But if a dek
riency in the means of education was complained of
to.
for the Protestant Church of Ireland. he should
then say, do not on this account demolish the Se-
minary at Maynooth, but rather increase the
imps
of education at Trinity College ; and he wou s
that the Romish Clergy of Ireland, existing as they.
did, should look foe the means of their education to
the Government at hove, and not be driven to
seek after a foreign or a mysterious education.

the tendency of. which was to divide that intercourse
now subsistilig between the Roman• Catholics and
the Univi isity of Dublin. The heads of that Gni-
y had, on a recent occasion. w.len an Address of
rya mks was per p• sed. in ode a sacrifice of their na-
tural principles, to that harmony so desitable at the
present crisis.
Mr. DILI.ON complained of the reduced and
Jefeelive state of the Protestant Church in Ireland.
'1 here, nvny benefice, were mere sinecures ; the
churches were many of them in a acre of of dila-
pidation, and livie.gs of considerable value,
by Curates, with stipends of only 631. a-year. The
Te..stirn then was, between having next it no reit-
u all, or educating the Catholic Priests For
..:alculAble would be the expense of re-bedding all
• churches now in a state of dilapidation, as well
, the glebe-harries. The only way of gaining
a,..r the Irish people of the Catholic Church was,
removing those circurnatances which rendered
..he Protestant Church odious in their eyes; a Church
which was only known to them by the er 48ions of
Tytha Peoittors, and which was so ill served, that
in many places the few Pretestanu went cr.:, to
the Methodists and Poorly-rans. He concluded
by strongly recommending a modification of the
testier, and other remedie., for th 3 existing evils.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT' expressed himself
warmly in favoar of the extended grant, and de-
fended himself and hi., late colreagnes, In the last
Parliament, in fringing forward that measure, after
the usual erimate of the expense had been given in.
Althoug' the Univer.ity of Doblie were open to
the R-im CALIIOIICS, in the utmost extra. persons
in that Jniversity could not he educated for the
oXee of Roman Catholic Priests. n It had the s •aii-
nary at Mayroe-.1 discouraged Roman Catholic
Gentry from sensing their children to that Univer-
soy. !f the estimate he had brought fit 4ard was
oat sra.li ient ground for his m.ivittg t%.• el:ended
grant, in the L:.t Session, why did not the Right
Hon. Chalcellor of Irela briug forward another
estimate before he made ar, motion tar coatinuing
that grant The Protestant Esza!ili:tenent was sup-
ported by the prosper of great lucrative emolu-
ments; besides wilier), the Unie•lrsities of England
were r pen to Students from Ireland ; and it WAS
also well known, that every Viceroy of Ireland took
tare to furnish clergymen for Ireland. and often
to the exclusion of the most meritorious Irish tier..
gymen.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUP It
explaiued why tie did Out, in tine last ScsAoll, make
a motion for as estimate. He hats, as a Menthe -
of Parliament, objected to that increased rani, and
proposed to refer it to a Committee to examine we
merits of the Pr. /non from the trusteesof Maynooth
College. He wished that the late Government ha,.
paid more attention to the detettive state of the
Protestant Chorea of Ireland, with a view of apply-
ing remedies to meet these defedt.. He truce;
Pa:limiest would not be found backward in in-
quiring into the state of the. Churches and Glebe-
Houses in Ireland Something in the present bes-
ides had already been done s there having been a
Vast made of nO,OOOl. foe this purpose; out there
were other means beside that of public grants, by
which great assistanc might be worded. In new
resemations to livings of considerable value, the
socumbents might be result:led for a time to a bosh-
ad ii.come, and the living be put muter a kind of
sequestration, to assist in re •urlding Churches and
Glebe.Houses. The same rule anus, under simi-
lar circumstances, be made to apply to Angland, as
welt as to Ireland. The situation of the Curates
ought also to be made a subject of inquiry. with #
view to their amelioration; fun although he wished
to beep up n distanit,oo between Clergymen. he son
thought that out of the abundance of the sure opu-
lent livings, some more adequate compensation
ought to be given to the Curates in such parishes.
Lord HOWICK defended the eondu4 of the late
Administration in briogi:g forward the jocreased
grant for the semin ury at Mayno.sch. He, at the
same time, concurred with the Right Hon. Gentle-
man in desiring an amelioration in sire condition of
the Curates. The airdatiori of the Protestant Church,
in Ireland, had not been disregarded by the late
Administration. Plans, net brought to maturity,
had been under their coosideration. It it were ac-
loon i ,ige-1 that Roman Catholic Priests should
be educated in Ireland. it could easily be proved,
that at present there was not a sufficient Lumber
educated to supply the wants of that religions
body
Mr. FOSTER (the II isls Chancellor) declared,
that on corniug into office, no do.unients cohld
he find, either in his otli:e, or upon the Journals,
to convince him et the expediency of this addrimnal
grant.
Here Lord Hoetick, and the English and Irish
Chancellors of the Escheqa-r, severally explained.
Colonel IIARItY detenJeJ the statement of his
Right Hon. Fiiend (Mr. Foster), and charged the
Administration with not staring the grounds of
.• additional grant to Maye.ooth College, and
• ', test ,:omnsuiricating to Parliament the result of
• . r uly.uries. lie was decidedly in opinioa against
• - of this grant. It such an additional
. of Priesta as :WO were to be tursed out
" c it, they most either make fresh proselytes, or
th.v t starve.

Mr. OILL.ON spoke in explanation.
Mr. sIIER WAN remarked, that the Hon. Gen-
tii.man (Colonel Barry), had unintentiooally paid a
nig.. compliment to the late Adminisuation, for
however ad rens he was to this particular measure
of their's now, such had been his implicit confi-
dence then in the wisdom a this measure. that be
sat in the House during the last Parliament. without
ever making any inquiry nr objeaios. when this
additional giant was under the eideratiou of the
11011. e.

Pr. DU ENAN said. opossum bad beep pro-
posed by nod a Bill brought iu. to compel gbe
residence of the Clergy in Ireland. similar to the

o.ietry with amt being Isiendly to the Linked Church,
either, in England or Ireland.
Lord 1101/VICK denied the Charge.
Lord M ILTON defended the increased grant,
Nom principles of policy.
The ettANcELLoa of the EXCHEQUER
spoke in explenetien. •
Mr. Gil tTTAN observed, that the extent of
the .argiutiet.re of the Right Hon. Gentlemen oppo-
site, went to disapprove first of the education of the
Cash lie Clergy, and next of the expense which it
entailed upon the public. That principle he would
ever oppose, because he felt that the foundation of
the Seminary at Maynooth was not to propagate
Popery, but to instil loyalty. At the period when
that plan ova: iginet .d. he knew it was indispen-
sably necessary. It was not a fair statement to say,
that because the sum first voted was only 80001.
and the number of Students only 200, that there-
fore there was a limit placed to all future grants.
and to further Parliamentary support. Such an.
assertion was absurd. it supposed, that the pope-
tattoo of Ireland was at a stand. But the fad was,
that no such limit was intended. The sum voted at
first was made a foundation, suhjeet to the variation
of circurnoances upon the principle of the origins;
grant. In Ireland there were 2,400 parishes, there
were eleven hundred Protestant Benefices.—Were
then, he asked, two hundred students for the
Catholic PriestliJod too numerous or out of
proportion for upwat ds of feur nillions of subjeas,
when there were eleven htmAred benefices for the
Clergy of less than one million of Protestants ?
To speak thus, was to defraud the Catholic of
the benefio of religion, by limiting the number of
those whose duty it was to instruct them. The
feeling of those who proposed the measure. was to
have an educated. domesticated, Catholic Clergy,
not prejudiced by foreign principles and habits.
They knew that from the Catholics tieing the poor-
est, he meant in comparative week!' with the Pro-
testants, that if the Catholic Priest was not edu-
cated at the public expee.e, he would not he e.m-
cited at all. And the truth was so. Would th, n,
he asked, any refieding Grsve: to:lent hesitate be-
tween the choice cf a Cat oie Clergy, poisoned with
treason, by a foreign edocation, a Clergy so grossly
ignorant as to degrade humanity, or of conotming
a grant from the Treasury to the amount of 5.0001.?
Could any nation, possessed of cemittnn sense a Id
diseretieti, hesitate on such a stihjeft ? The argument
of the Right Hon. Gentlemen opposite was not to
conciliate. not to enlighten, not to convert—hut to
starve the Irish Cetnoli: s out of their re igloo.
All relig..s ,s were good—the Protestant was the
most prehtrable. Bu wleere that could not be pro-
pagated, Christianity would be cultivated and en-
esnraged. Such wa. the ground of confide:lee
Great Britain had with the foreign Catholic powers.
It also regulated her domestic arrengemetes. Was
the House prepared to set its face agairst i:s men
Actual policy, as it applied to the stars of Ireland.
Was it willing to let a vast proportion of its people
perish in ignorance, or sink into infidelity. He had
heard epithets applied to the Irish Catholics, of a de.
gradipg nature. Ho had heard them desipated as
barbarous and uncivilized—he denied the assertion.
The Irish Catholic was as civilised as those of the
same rank qf lite in this country. But it applied to
the whole Irish population. they were. forsooth, all
brutal, uncivilized and bariwous. He disdained
to defend the frith people from this groselibel ; but
Le would defend En land from the foul imputation.
Uit was true that Ireland contsaued. atter three
centgries of allegiance, in such a state. then the
British coanexion was a moiler!. But as long :is
he sat in that House, he would not silently listen to
those false and fool refleSions on the manners and
morals of a %country. to which he himself owed so
much, and to whose bravery, perseverance, and dis-
tinguished attachment, Great Britain was indebted
for a prompt participation of her despot and her
losses.
The other Resolutions were then agreed to, and
the House having roomed, the Report was ordered
to be received to-morrow, and the Committee to bit
again on Friday next.
Mr. CHARLES DUNDAS gave notice, that he
would, tc-morrow, move for a Committee. to talfe
into consideration the Standing Orders of the House,
so tar as the s.inet relate to the exerniaoiou of
Witnesses upon private Bills.
Upon the Order of the Day for going into Cum-
mimeo upon the Windsor Forgo Bill,
The CHO bIt.:SLLOR of the EXCHEQUER
observed. that uod.nortniling an Hon. Gentleman
oil she celic r s'ar had . Joie amendment to propose
to this Bill, he wished to postpone the further cone
aideraticn of it until to-morrow.

The Committee w.is accordingly po,trned.
Upon motion of Sir A. WEI.LESLEY, the second
reading of the lush Insuriection Bill was postponed
from to-taarrow until V/cdncsday next lie said.
dist in consequence of the absence of some Gentle-
men who wished to express their sentiments upon
this measure, he was induced to postpone it to that
day.
Mr. SHEP.ID,..I`; was much obliged for the ac-
commodation the lion. Baronet Was so is tilingto give
pi his Hon. Friends who were absent, but be at the
same time assured the Hon. Baronet, that he should
give his most decided opposition to the Bill through.
out every stage of it, until he should be satisfied of
the absolute necessity of such a measure at this time.
Upon the motion of Mr. LETH BRIDGE, several
accounts relating to the annual revenue of the Post.
Oifice, of the increase of produce. &e. ice. for a cer-
tain period, was ordered ,to be laid before the
House, with reference to the proceedings nosy pend-
ing before a Selo* Committee.
Mr. BANKES brought up the Roport of the
Committee upon the additions to the British Mu-
mum; which was read and agreed to, sad a Bill
ordered pursuant thereto.
A Message from the Lords informed the House
that their Lordships bad agreed to the American
Indemnity Aft. without any ammulasent. Alm to
several private Bills.
The House then went into Committee of Ways
and Moans, when the sum of 18,500.0001. ditties
on Revenue was agreed tot also, 171,18.51. Sur-
plus of Grants for 11106. acid 139,0001. fur the gar-
