whete the Jury on .the trial of,a eulprit endea..
voured to compromise with the judge,, by.offering
to. conclemdthe man, if it should he a,reed that
his punidithent should not be death, and on the
judge refusing,. thcy acquitted him
,He likewise
mentioned the. perils to whichritneises and per.
sons giving informatiOn cif the &signs of the
Rebels' were exposed: A' per Son who had given
Iniportant information to`Got:einment, was fol-
lowed from Ireland to this Country,
.and stabbed
to death in 'the streets of London. Alluding to
whit had iacn 'said of Lord Coßtqw-At,Lts, he
observed, that whOeier was to'be, the successor-
of the Noble Marquis,
,unless he were' sent armed
with Martial-Law, it Would be needless to send
him at all.

- , Mr. PGLE
.s4d, it was a melancholy thing for
Gentlemen from Ireland to be Oliged to g.lt..iw so
distressing a piaare of the
,state of their Coun-
try. He had now, howeVer, only to give that
information to the House which he considered it
his duty to impart. to the statement given by
the Noble ' Lind who opened the Question, he
gave his entire approbation and sanaioa. If the
Bill did not piss, he could not answer for the
peace Of that part of Ireland from which he came,
nor fir the lives and property of. its inhabit-
ants. Ile allowed- that the storm and tempest
of Rebellion had subsided, but a dangerous swell
remained. The evil spirit which 114 instigated
an 4 animated the Rebellion, still-continued. The
word Rebellion had been introduced, and he had
taken it up. Since it 'had been mentioned, he
shoUld inform the House what the Rebellion was..
In' the County where helived (Wexford), their
priiicitile was to put every Loyal and Protestant
Subjecl„to death—to pull down the Protestant
Ascendant- in Church and State,. and, to ere(i-
-o n its. ruin ' a Popiih Hierarchy, a Republican..
Go vernmet t united with the Republic of France.`
He *did not say, however, that the spirit and;
principle of the Rebellion was the same' through-
out the rand. He spoke only of-his own County.
There the Rebels* wereiheaded by ,their Priests,
who were their Generals, and wide r theirguidanee
the' finest . portion of Ireland was desolated.
The people began with the Murder of their Clergy ;
they burnt the houses of the'men of property, dnd
burnt' their prisoners,, or when they could not t
find places to burn them in, massacred them in cold
blUoti.' On one occasion 185 men, women, and
children, ' were burnt in one barn. On other oc. '
cast Ons 185. had been massacred, and just before
;he entry of the King'S Troops into Wexford, 95
Were murdered on the bridge: , The House would
fotgliT the feelings. than arose in his mind oh
mentioning such occurrences, and relating the
dismal fate of men, many of whom were his in.
timate friends. ,

It had been said by the Hon. Baronet (Sir L.
PARSONS) that every thing wasilow safe. He
asktd iohere the tranquiltitv prevailed? Let the
Hon. Baronet take an evening ride in the-oounty
of Wexford. Perhaps, indeed, after his
,speech
to.night, the Hon. Baronet might venture to do
so; but for his part, after what he had said,:he
was sure that he cuuld nut dolt with satety,.
every.' thing safe and tran9uVin Ireland, when
the Mails'could not travel without being robbed ;
when every 'every Packet.brought, intelligence of
some robbery or murder being committed ? He
earnestly recommended to the House to be careful
'ofteland. Nothing but Martial Law could
save that Country. He did not hesitate to say,
that in his part of the Country, the people spoke
with expettation of a French invasion,.
,to
he feared they. were .but too.napeh.inclitied.

Mr. • M'NAUGHTEN professed his astonish...
ment` at the statements of-Sir LAURENCE PAR
soNs, the 'only Member from Ireland who did
not . concur in the. necessity of Martial
Quotations had been read from the, works. of Sir
J. DAVIS, but there was no Jiacobinism in, Ire_
land in the time of Sir J. DAVIS. - 'lt.was left
for a period of philosophy and refinement, to dis-
cover that malignant principle from which the,
chiefdanger of the Country arose. Mr, M‘NA'uo
TEN contended, thatit was by the salutey effects of
Martial Law alone, that the atrocities which had,
'prevailed in the Counties of ;Wexford, Tyrone,
&c. bad been repressed. He
,said he was not sur-
prized to see members of the British Parliament
averse to vote Martial Law for no Gentleman
could have an idea of a Country so.polluted'and
i Meath with. Jacobin principles
.as 'lreland,. "unless
he had seen the latter with his own eyes. Rutin a
Country where the dagger of the assassin.was per.
petually at work 'to promote the cause of Rebel-
lion, common applications would. not do. No
than loved the Btistish Constitution.more 'than
'he did, and it WAS to preserve it first, and,then to
protect it, that he now contended for the necessity
of Martial Law. If the BiA was suspended ,fort a
week, Ireland would be. expoised to the greatest
danger...

Mr. SOMERS COCKS 'said, he, hO'bee'n in
Ireland with the Reginitkoffencibles to which
'be belonged ; and he Was satisfied, 'frOm what he
',had seen of the state of the Country, "that Mar-
' tial Law 'was necessary. 'He. blamed Gentlemen
the other side, for the 'strong lunguaie that:
'had been held on limner - occasions respeding

TIN next adverted to what had been said by his

Roman Catholics had in the tast 'Rebellion. He
thought the introduEtion of that topic unwise,-as
it tended to, prejudice the claims-not- yet submitt-
ed. to Parliament. it was not:a catholic Rebel_
Linn more than a Protestant one, but in propor-

Mr. OGLE explained, and said, he had con.
fined his observations to What.he had. seen in the
Coinity of WeifOrd, and did not say tivt, the
principle was the same in the Vest of Ireland.
