THE LATE NEGOCIATIONS.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he had been ins trnet.
en to state, before the recess, that papers, relative to the rupture of
the late negociatious, should be laid before the House on the earliest
opportunity; but since that time circumstances had taken place.
by which the parties in the late transactions had been materially
changed, and which were too notorious to be particularly specified
by him, In consequence of this shame of circumstance a new Be.
gociation was entered upon, and whilst • that was pending it wontd
be both unnecessary and inconvenieut to lay the papers relating to
the former negotiation before the House.
Mr. WHITBREAD said, that although lie participated in the Lappy
consequences that must arise from these events, y‘t be cot idcred
it was the deity of the House to have the papers submitted ti%
consideration. He ahould, libwever, be satisfied, if thry were f ;heir

CATHOLIC PETITIOA'S.

General MAT HEW presented t wo -Pet it ions, one from the county
tlf. Tipperary, and the other from Clonmid, in favour of Catholic
Emancipation. Since lie last addressed the House this subject,
the' Bole political state of Europe had been changed ; in eonse-,
quence of which, he thought that the important question he had al-
luded•to •itamelv, Catholic Emancipation, ought not to be debated
durini die present Session. Europe was now liberated. The Pope,
sa long oppressed, so long detained a sort of state plisoner by the
fallen Ruler of France, was again restored to his honours. This
restoration would, he hoped, prove not unfavourable to the cause of
the Catholics.. Ile did,not speak without authority, when he said,
that the venerable personage to m boll' he alluded was prepared, and
would be found willing to enter into such explanations, and such
discwion, as may eventually facilitate the attainment of the great
object for which lie had so often spoke and voted in that House.
This aas the reason which rendered it, in his Opinion, more advisa-
ble not to have the business brought on att present.—The Honour-
able General then adverted to his former opposition to Ministers,
from a belief of their incapacity, which lie vow Confessed was erro-
neous : they had saved Europe from bondage, they had made peace
abroad, and he would now call upon them, in the name of his tine
but unfortunate country, to make peace at home. If they acted as
he would -advise, if they lint gave to the Catholies.the_privileges of
the Stute, he would vote that they in. Ministers for ever !--(A loud
lan.
!)—The Petitions were then read, and out to lie on the
table.
