Mr. KNox eras favourable to the measore of emancipation. Ile
wished and voted ti►r an adjostment on these claims on the last dis.
cession, when there was a disposition among the Irish Catholics to
satisfy and conciliate the Protestants. But that prospect had vanish-
ed; the rescript of M. Quarientotti was treated with reprobation.—
even the pope was assailed and resisted, and his opinion was con-
temptitoosly rejected. when it no longer served the purposes of those
who are hostile to a Veto. The Catholic- of lie:and were now under
a most degrading, and disgraceful domination ; that of persons who
agitated this question, merely to keep sedition and di-content alke
in the country. ; and who by thair violence and f dIJ, were blasting
the hopes of the Catholics and their posterity.
Mr. M. FITZGE RA LD was in favour of the motion. Intemperate
discossions, and the violence of individuals shook', he contended,
have no weight with the House upon this question. Was their mis.
conduct to prevent the House from legislating fur those Catholic.
whom all admitted to he deSereing of relief?

Mr. Sedeaut BEsT said, the House was not to be dictated to by
the Catholic body. He saw no good that could possibly arise from
going into a Committee, as the Catholics said, if you don't give us
what we demand, we will take nothing else- He should therefore
oppose the motion.
Mr. PoNsosav observed, the House was not hound by the de-
mands et the Catholics; the question concerned equally the Protest-
ant as the Catholic ; nor would the indiscretion of individuals justify
him ia neglet•ting the community. The Catholics might demand
what they pleased, but it was for the Home to decide on what it
was expedient to grant. Contrary to the opinion of many 3lenrhers
of that House, he out tint altarls notch importance to the securities
that hail been demanded, as lie always regarded the measure itself as
the great svemily.
Mr. PRELR objected to the motion, because he regarded it as dos
rogatory to the character of the House, and that it would not con-
ciliate the Catholics. tic itlinded to the violent language used by

Sir J. NEWPORT thought the last speaker had done all in his
power to inflame both sides of the Home. The qanation was not
for any particular mode of relies but simply tdr going into a Coin-
snittee.
Mr. B. liaTncosT and Mr. BANRES opposed going into a Cons.
mince ; Lord BINNING land 1w should vote for it.
Lord CasTi.EnEauil said, he bad not changed his opinion
on thi: miltieet front the first ; and far as he was inclined to. go,
he still telt that nothing could be done, unless such security as the
Catholic Church gave to governments in other countrie*. The House
ought not to be deterred, even if they were sure what they of '
would tint be met with satisfaction by the Catholics of frelnod.
He regretted that such speeches had issued from the Catholic
Board, butt this ought not to deter the House from legislating for
the Catholics. They ought to place the Catholics in a situation
to reap the benefits of the Constitution, without eteablitez them to
Hove it. The Noble Lord eulogised the Rt. Hon. Gentleman (Mr.
Grattan) and reprobated the temper in %%Inch the measure, which
had born taken from that Rt. Hon. Geittleman's hand, had been
brought forward by those persons in Ireland of whom be lead spoken.
It was an evidence that they were now soliciting for something
ferent trout the former uwasure; in short, they were asking for un-
qualified admission to the Constitution. With this cofivictioll

Catholics the 'tense of the House as to their conduct. Their cause,
instead of rising now, was going down hill ; and to approve their
conduct would only be to hasten them ou to their own injury. In
the Committee it would undoubtedly be necessary to negative the
Resolution' ; nor did he tint that the House would be called on to
otter any new or modified plates nr propteitioos.
Mr. WilitTisoaan corwurred with the Noble Lord, except in one
poiot, namely. that it would he sufficient merely to creative the
Resolutions. He was of opinion, that the Committee would do
aril to substitute something in their stead, even if it should be in
opposition to the wishes of the Catholics. Up to this time, he had
