marked with that candour which he audevtoodo to
the honour of the other House of Parliament, had
.abcompanied the Measure. From, the pad he
had taken on termer occies.ons, when this subject
INS under their consideration. I.e thought it his
dtity to state fairly the course lie iittended now
to pursue, which would lie to opito.e the fecund
reading of the Bill. If their Lordship hod made
up their mind, to grant the priiilles in the Bill
to the Catholics, he would think it his duty to
object to the restrictions imposed on the Rowan
Catholic Church : many of the enactments of the
Bill were unjust, and many others impolitic. He
begged to be miderstisod as only giving this opi-
nion as an iushviduel, and as such he thought it
but fair, in this early siege, to give notice that the
Bill should have his individual oppositions
►
The Earl of DONOUGHIVOILE said; hi
passed on the attention or their Lord:thips, rtityeTr
for the purpose of setting !outsell right with the
House. He felt himself precisely as the Noble
Earl did, as to the securities the Catholics ought
to give the Protestants and the State; but they
only differed as to the nature 61 the security. Fur
his part he wanted no additional sect: ity from
them : for, if he doubted their loyalty, he cupid
not be their advocate. The Protestaiits were only
called on to sacrifice their prejudices Against their
Catholic brethren, and they had nobly gained a
victory over them, which was proved by the other
House of Parliament passing this Bill. Ile was
willing to admit that the Catholiei would be ex-
tremely wrong if they did not also sacrifin their
prejudices.
The Loan CHANllll.l.oali•ft the Woolsack, and
stated that he had to apologise to their Lordships
for intruding on their intention in the present stage
of the Bill, although it was a question of great na-
tional importance. He had read the Bill with at-
tention, and it appeared from it that v.:lions hold-
ing the situation: he did 'might be called on to My
how far they would .auction a change in the State :
this in itself was most Mug/min.. From the re-
spect he had for the opinions of their Lordships, and
the opinion of the other House of Parliament, he
had no difficulty in staling that if lie saw jtu.t cause
to change his opiniosi, he would declare it in defi-
ance of whatever charge of inconsistency might be
made against him ; but lie would oppose the Bill
from a full conviction that, if carried, the safety of
the Constitution would be at stake, as well as the
religious securities of the country. It was impos-
sible that he could ever agree to the Bill as it
stood, and he was convinced that it could not be
modified so as to ham his assent.
The Bill was then read a first time, ordered to be
printed, and their Lordships to be summoned for
Tuesday next, for the purpose of its being read a
second time.—Adjourned. •

Mr. CARTWRIGHT presented • Petition of a simi:se
description from the County of Northampton: He lamented
his inability to concur in the prayer of the Petition, as the
Petitioners were a highly reopeciabk body; but he telt con.
winced that the Lis in question was in its operatios fairly
eltetributed, affecting only the consumer, and not the route t
end that its repeal, instead of affording the farmer relief;
would operate quite she contrary way.
Lord A LTHOttl) presented Petitions of the ramp nature
from occupiers of land in the vicinity of Retford and Work...
✓opy in Nottinghamshire, from Ddticaster, in Yorkshire, and
from the county of Northampton. He fully concurred in the
prayer of the Petitioners. The Noble Lord opposite hawing,
with his usual candour, given ndtiee of the intention of Mi-
nisters to exert all their inflionice to prevent the repeal of
this tax, hr fat that they had much to contend against ; but
he called upon Gentlemen to bear in oniod the opinions of
the country so decidedly ixpresstal in the Petitions tot the
table, and to uphold to the utmost of their power the interests
of the Petitioners, and the country generally, by opposing the
tax.

HOUSE OP COMMONS, TUESDAY, APRIL 3.
...-....

The SPEAKER took the Chair at four o'clock.
Mr. ELLIS ruse for the purpose of correcting • minidr-
ama in some of the public papers, of what was said by
bins in the debate of last night. He was sure the mistake
was quite unintentional, for nothing could be more satis-
factory than the smarmy, impartiality, and ability with
which the reports of the proceedings of the Horse were
georrally given. lie was represented to have said, in al-
loding to • geotleman (Mr. O'Connell) who took a leadiug
part in the proceedings of the Catholics in !related, that he
was a " mushroom orator." He had said nothing of the
kind ; but what he diel soy was, alluding to the aris-
tocracy of Ireland, that, as to the pretensions to anti-
quity of that Gentleman's family, whets compared wills the
aristocracy of the country, they were but the mushroom cele-
brity of • day. The allusion was mad►, uut with • purpose
of refiectiog on that Gentleman's family pretensions, which
he admitted were certainly respectable, but he merely men-
tioned them it coolness with the ancient aristocracy. He
wag moat anxious that this mistake should he conceded, as
nothing was father from ht* disposition than to hint the
feelings of any man in his absence, particularly nude► she
privilege of I'arlsanu•ut. He wished also t►at it should be
understood as his conviction, that the allusion, as it had
been staled in the papers, was wholly uuden•rred by the
Gentlemin to whom it was applied, whose talents no man
more admired than he did.

Mr. FYSHE PALMER presented a similar Petition from
Siggleswide, in 'be County of Bedford.
Mr. LAMB presented *a Petition of the same description.;
front Royston, to Hertfordshire.
A Member, whose name we mold not learn, presented a
Petition of the same kind from Market Dreping.
Mr. GOOCH presented similar Petition, from Wood-
bridge, Ipswich, and Hadleigh, in the Ceunty of Suffolk.
He was •warie-shat fur supporting the prayer of these Peti-
tions he risked briar charged, as he had before been, with in -
•consisteney; but although he had voted for the Army Esti-
mates, be did not tbiok that sole bound him to rapport any:
parti:ular tax. It was fur Ministers to say what taste were
the hest adapted for the public service; but if be found any
tax which they proposed to press too heavily on the great
body of the farmers of the country, be should feel himself
booed tiroppose it.

In reply in a question from the Speaker, the Hon. Mem-
ber said it was not his intension to make any motion upon
the subject, as he was convinced it was not a wilful mis-
statement.

Sir R. II ERON presented Petitions of the same nature
with the foregoing, from the Borough of Grimsby and the
City of Lincoln.
The several Petitions before mentioned were ordered hill .
printed.
Sir JOHN BOUGH EY moved the second reading of
County Rates Bill.—Ordered to be committed on Mood
next.
4r. WESTERN presented three Petitions: one signed
500 oecupieis of laud iu Essex; the second by 200 occur/
in the parish of Ilorwrlcn, Essex ; and the third by 170 er
piers in the county of Cambridge, praying fur the tepee
the Malt Tax.—Ordered to lie un the table.
Mr. CANNING presented a Petition from the Merel
of Liverpool against the Irish Protecting Duties..
A short discussion took place upon the subject •
Petition between Mr. Canning, Sir H. Parnell, as
Chancellor of the Exchequer which contleded with apt
on the part of the latter Gentlemen that litanald be
into cousideratioe as early as possible is tiles Nat Sew
Parliament.

REPEAL OF TfIE MALT 'TAX
Mr. WESTERN rose to move the Ord.i.
Day for the second reading of the Malt 1".
peal Bill. He questioned the at:ilea:len'
had been made of Ibis duty amounting
annually ; he did not think it w
than 1,400,000/. at the most. Referrio
year 1804. he said that in the Semis,
year it had been agreed on by the Ht
Scotland should be allowed au advatit
resiiir-ct to the Melt Duties, nn acr omit
feriority tfir crops of barley. 111
Chancellor of the Exrhequtr proposed
nent Malt Tax of Is. 2d. for England at
and Is. lori. for Scotland, thus donqi
remoniously the advantage which by
heeo promised in 1804. Ile thought
the Irma .of it, very extraordinary tt
Scotland, The Right Hon. Gentlema
ever, thrown out a live that he woo
the quevtinn. At any rate, his (MI
object in alluding to it was to dierat ••
the Bill before the House, which ail
