THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

MAR= 1,

Ls challenged the House to say, whether there was any absence of ta-
lent on that side the House, and he was completely satisfii-d, that,
single-Landed as they were without the talents, they were better than
all the talents—(dnother laugh !)—He therefore did not agree to the
motion, because it tended to discourage our allies, . and because, be
m
verily believed, that if the power of the Governentfell into the hands
of those on the other side the House, the consequences would be most
detrimental to the state of the nation.
Mr. Wut Ta It EAD said he never had doubted the talents of the Right
Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Perceval); indeed a man must he weak to doubt
them. He was also ready to allow that lie (Mr. I'.) had stood single-
handed without any talents to support him. His friends near him had
Wen accused of retusing their aid to the present Ministers, they could
not agree with or cordially unite with them : but they had too much
honour to betray them by pretended union. It had been said that the
Catholic question was not in future to be treated as a Cabinet question.
If it were not; if it were considered by the servants of the public as a
question not worth their consideration, either for or against it, these
persons were certainly guilty of a great dereliction of public duty. It
had been said this question would in future be placed on the same foot-
ing as the Slave Trade was. It was well known, that the most power-
ful, the most eloquent Minister this Country ever had, exerted his elo-
quence, and his persuasions as an individual, for several years, to carry
this question, but without effect; nor was it till it again became a
Cabinet question, that the Slave Trade was carried. Mr. W. continued,
would it have no effect in the Peninsula that the brother of the 'great
Captain who had commanded with se much glory, and so much success,
had retired from the Ministry, and was replaced by a Noble Lord, who,
when before in office, had been proverbially unfortunate.—c Hear,
liPar I ) Would the Catholics of Ireland forget the Noble Lord s con-
duct at the Union, who was now again going into the Cabinet, at the
commencement of the new era, when the Catholics, who had indeed
indulged in golden dreams, bad awoke to heart-rending disappointment?
He could not suffer the House to go to a division without calling on that
Noble Lord for some explanation on these subjects.
Lord Cos ULrREAcn observed, the question of tip-night certainly was,
to what set of men the Governinert should be entrusted. He would
state what were his opinions; lie certainly had, previous to the late
communications tee Lords Grenville and Grey, supposed it was proba-
ble these Noble Lords might have united with his Right Honourable j
Fri( ud. They, however, it appeared, wished to break down the sys-
tem, and adopt a middle course; such a course could not be adopted,
and they had been obliged to make a distinct declaration, and they had
declared they could not, con 'intent with their political honour, treat
with the present inisters. The Noble Lord then defended the period .
of his Administration, and maintained that the hopes whit!' now ex-
isted
of a favourable termination of the war in the Peninsula had been
derived Irons our original success in Portugal; and even from the di-
version which the army of Sir John Moore made in Spain: With his
decided views of the policy of the country, both internal and external,
he should conceive himself a political coward, if he were to hesitate to
take the responsibility of office, for fear of those atttacks which Gentle-
men on the other side might feel disposed to direct against him.
Mr. TIERNEY, in a most able and energetic speech, supportett the
Motion.

Lord TEMPLE, in supporting the Motion, defended the conduct of
Lords Grenville and Grey.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER in opposing the motion, de-
fended the 'conduct of Government, and strongly animadverted upon
that of the Gentlemen on the other side. He observed, that the opi-
nions respecting the Claims of the Catholics still were what they had
been when that Question was last before the House.—[But Oat es the
pittimt of Government ttaw ? was asked across the Table; by Mr. Whit-
bread ?—What he had stated it to be on a former occasion, replied the
i'llancellor.]—He still thought that the time had not arrived when
tile claims could be listened to. With respect to the Honourable Ba-
ronet's Motion, he could not approve it.
Mr. CANNING declared his intention to support the Motion, in
collquence of the conduct of Government on the Catholic Question.
He might now consider the door was shut for ever against the Catholic
claims.—(Heor, liar, /ear!)
Sir T. Tutct oN briefly replied.
A division then took place, when the numbers were—For the Motion
; Against it, 209.—IVIajority against the Motion, 73. Adjourned at
I fall past Three o'Clock.
