CATIIOLTC PETITION.

Mr. GRATTAN rose to ask :or leave to present a
Petition from t he Catholics of the City and County
of COrk ; and also. to state, as he bud done on a
former occasion, that fie had no intention to pro-
voke any dismission, or to propose any ulterior
nleaStite at present, on the subject of the Catholic
Claims. His reasons for this mode 0,.1 proceeding'
arose from circumstances which it was not neces-
sary to detail. They were such, however, as ren-
dered any discussion at present unavailing, and
only likely ioliinder, or at least to retard, that fu-
ture and complete success, which nothing but pre-
cipitation at the present moment could possibly
prevent. Great, impediments had been removed 5.
and ‘vith full conviction of final success, he should
puesue the measure with ardour, in the manner

that -seemed to hirn most practicable. He had
taken the opinion of other Gentlemen with whom
he had been in the habit of Cons.lting on this
subject ; and they concurred with him iv, thinking,
that any discussion at pre.ent•would 'not be ad-
visable. What he had fOrmetly said on the.
subject had been much this-stated in ',he public
prints ; in which he had been represented as al-
luding to the senthrient of a Noble Person in
other place. He had made no such allusion ; as
it would have becn extremely indecorous in him
so to have done, having no authority for that
purpose. His allusion then had been to 'Gentle-
men, Members of that House, with whdm he bad
been in the habit of acting on the subject of the
Catholic Claims. .As he intended to submit no
motion to the House op the subject of. the Peti-
tion, it would be a violation of his intention to '
say more on the 'subject. -

-:Sir J. C. HIPP/SIAN deprecated precipitation as
much as the Right Hon. Gentleman, as no satis7
factory discussion could take splace.without a de-
liberate investigation being previously instituted
the necessity for which was much inereated in
consequence of receni. events. •In making this re-
mark, 'he had principally in view the proceedings
of the Catholic Board, which was in fact a per-
manent Parliiment, ' taxing
.and legislating the
Catholics of Ireland. He had also in view their
appeal to tire. Crirtes of Spain—a proce&hng re-
plete with Mischief, as it declared their own
country to,be intolerant, from which they ap-
pealed to the most intolerant nation in Europe. hie
had (!tine his duty in previously moving for papers
that would' convey important. information to the
House, and, he caßed upon Government to apply
all their energy in sthh, to suppress the Cathblie
Board ; 'he 'hoped the House would have some
communication mad(, to thetn on that subject. It
Was his intention, after the holidays, to move for
some 'papers in addition to those already before
the House, the existence of which had latterly
come to his knowledge.
The Petition was then brought up, and ordered to lie on
the Table.

Mr. Thug-utast moved, that.the Rouse., at its rising, should
adjourn to Wednestioy. —Agreed to.

CORN LAWS..

Mr..T. SMITH presented a Petition from Nottingham, sign-
ed by 9000 persons, praying that na alteration might take
place in the; Corn Laws..

-Mr. Motrat: presented a Pet;tion from Coventry, praying
that no alteration might take place in the Corn Laws daring
the present ki ;Isi,ari of Parliament.
Colonel CAnEw presented
,a •Petitlon from the town of
Wexford in favour of the Cora fills. Ordered to lie 'on the

Sir F. FLooD said, that the opposition made
.to• the proposal alterations on the! Corn Laws
had arisen chiefly from the speeches of a Right
Hon. Gentleman.opposite, which he dhl not think
would add much to his popularity in the country.
The enetniis,of the measure did not, it, fact; un-
derstand their own interest, wh!eh the measure
in contemplation had a tendency greatly to. pro-
mote; An inftn.notts paragraph had appeared in a
newspaper on the subject, of the Corn Trade of
Ireland, the interest of which no trite friend to
the empire could ever wish to separate trout that
of England. The true-way to reduce the pricc of
bread was to encourage the agriculture Of Eng-
land.

IMPRESSMENT OF SEAMEN.
Lord A. HAMILTUN presented a Petition from

, .
'praying that. the Chief Mates of Ships above 50
tuns burden should not be subject to he impressed,
Mr. BENNET inquired whether the impress
.tlee was yet ct;ntitmed on the Thames ? if it were,
he thought it a very unnecessary cruelty.—No
ansWer was given to the que'stion
After a few-words from Mr. FINLAY, Lord A.
11Amt!...roN inquired, in re....rence to his Petition,
whether the orders with regard to the subject of
impress were uniform in all the ports of the Unit-
ed Kingdom ? If be recived no answer, he should',
after the Holidays, move for papers to decide the
point.
Mr. Wm. DONDAS could not charge his memory,
nor would he venture, upon so delicate a matter,
as the impress service, to state merely the impres-
sion of his mind.
Mr. RENNET repeated his question, whether
men within these two days had not been impress-
ed upon the Thames
No answer, being given, Mr. BARLIAM remarked
upon the singular disrespect shewn. The func-
tions of the House were at au end if simple ques-
tions like that just put were' not answered.
Mr. iIbENEn thought such conduct:on the part
of the Lords of the Admiralty present was unpre-
cedented. it was contrary, at least, to the cour-
tesy of the House; as far as he Was acquainted
with it. '
Mr. W. DUNDAS insisted, that is was entirely
new", in the practice of the House, to ask ques-
tions not relative to the subject of debate. The
qttekion of the Hon. Alember (Mr. Bennet) had
no relation to the Petition of the Noble 1..,m4.
He (Mr. Dundas) was not •to be flightened into
(giving an answer, Init he would satisfy the Holt.
Gentleman by telling him, that he was complete-
ly misinformed upon the subject.
Mr. WYNNE maintained, that the' practiCe
asking questions, for the salce of. rendering ulterior
motions unnecessary, was perfectly usual, and of

great convenience.
On the motion of Sir JOHN NEWPORT, an Ad-
dress was agreed to, for an account of the fees
taken in the Court of• Exchequer in Ireland and
in the Bankrupts' Office.
Mr. PF.F.i.O. gave notice, that on Friday next
he won't! move for a Bill to amend the In-
solvent Act, of last year.
ARMY 'EXTRAORDINARIES.

On the motion of Mr. LusttiNc-<oN, the ac-
counts of Outstanding Exchequer Bills were re-
ferred to the Committee.

On a Resolution being moved for the grant of
3,50,000/. for Extraordinary -Army Expellees of
1813:

The Hon. Captahi BENNETT made several rc-

marks on the items in the papers., lie remarked
particularly one of MO/. to Lord Burzhersh, not
for services performed, but to enable him by that
advance to go out on a military mission.. Tiiis.ap-
peared extraordinary, as his Lordsbip was of A tit-
Tully which must certainly consider itself opulent':
his father, too, was Lurd Privy Seal, and had
tilled some of the first stations- in the lie
seemed the last man that could want such an
advance.

r. ARBUTIIT said,' that Lord Biughersb was
sent on a military commission, recommended by
the Secretary of State, tp the Austrian bead-quar-
ters. From the executibnof the Mission, thel'e
was no reason to doubt his Lordship's services.—
It did not follow that be was so eoptilent, merely
because his father was..

Captain BENNETT ohserved, that there were
General Stewart, and several other Officers, sent
oti military commissions to Germany and Spain.
Had they similar advances

Ir. FitEnEkicK lionrssoN Faid that the expe-
dition of the Noble Lord was very expensive, par,
ticularly during the latter period it.. horses
were obliged to be purchased, as none could be
procured in an ene►ny's 'country that was the scat
of war. The money was not more than covered
the unavoidable expeuce.

Mr. GatiLBURN said,
.that-on" special missions,
extraordinary ex-penccs were always paid ; and it
was usual to give a sum in hand as an advance.
General Hope had 10001. when he -went to Swe-
den, which he accounted for thdy on hiss return.
This was the practice ; and there was nothing pe-
culiar in the case of Lord Burghersh.
Mr. HusktssoN.—ln all those cases of ad-
vances, the Officer receiving them was to render
an account of his expenditure. He wished to
know what would be the amount of the Army
Extra Ordinaries ? There bad been about five mil-
lions of Extraordinaries Voted.' What were last
year's arrears ?

MrAiout,BoßN.—lt was impossible to know
what the Extraordinaries would be, as•the arrange-
ments on which the estimates would depend were
not vet formed. Only three millions had been
taken on account, and the sum now proposed was
to make up the whole excess.,
Mr: T uiltNE-Y supposed the yore was to be for
coining demands.

Al r. sum to be made up was
6,350,0001. which this vote would 'complete. It
was for last year's expenditure,
Mr. C. Low,: observed;; bat it was difficult to
state what would he required. They were only
making up deficiencies. The whole Extraordi-
navies were not '22 millions, as had beet' said, but
about 19 millions.

To some questions from Sir John Newport, Mr.
GOULBURN explained, concerning a sum for cer.
tain Patch Officers under General Sontag. 'The
,restoration of Holland put an end to the' Charge
and they, we: se only. to have a•year in advance.—
There was a charge for General Brock, owing to
the desire of his family, who wished his memory
honoured, to place his arms on tlir monument to
be erected to him.—The Resolution %vas agieed to.
Thu sums of five millions were, voted to pay Ex-
chequer Bills for Great Britain, and 200,0001. for
.Ireland I and of one Million for Exchequer Bills
in I 81-, The Report was brought up : Com-
mittee to-be resumed on Wednesday.

GRANTS TO LORD 'LYNEDOCK, &e.
The Resolution for the grant to Lord Lytle-
dock was read', and the Bill ordered to be brought
in.—On the second 'reading of the sintilar..ltesolu-
tion respecting Lord Hill,
Mr: C. WyNNE %v:is glad of the alteration that
had hcch made 'in the annuities, hitt had 'some

This day the ntim'erous Pitt Clnbs-"i)f Great Bri-
tain meet to celebrate the Memory of the Pitot
who weathered the Storm: how proud must they
be in the reflection that his *pirit has .continued to
animate 'their energies, till that, glorious State
vessel the Britannia bas arrived
.safe in Port, with
all her splendid Ensigns flying in triumph, and her
crew cheered by the .unanimous adclamations of a
world.

Were the Treaty to be signed at Paris this, day,
it would be a 'happy coincidence.

We have received Paris Papers to the 26th,
from which we have made several extracts. Lord
WrI,LINGTON, it is stated, left Toulouse on the
17thp to proceed to, Spain,\wheret it would ap-
pear, by the accounts received in Paris, as well
as by the itarticular intelligence which we said
before the Public in. a Second Edition yesterday
(see a 'preceding column), the presence of a Medi-
ator is extremely wanted. The whole Country,
,
indeed, seems to be in a state of fermentation ;
and, if we may credit the Journal deS Debuts of the
25th, King FERDINANTI has not only entered Ma.=
drid at the head of a• military fo.•ce, but has ar-
rested or dispei'sed the Cortes, and even hilpri-
soned two Members of the-Regency.
i'his is a lamentable state of thin; $, and slims

the short,sighteduess of,human beings. The re-
turn of their King has.been fondly antidpared by
the Spanish nation, as that era which would heal
all discorl, and seal their tranquillity and happi-
ness. The day so anxiously looked-for arrives ;
and, instead of bringing with it joy and peace„ it
only serves to augment the disorders which pre-
vaned, and replunge Split: into a state of anarelpf
and contention wore dreadful than that from which
she was just emerging. We lament to notice with
how much un weighing asperity, and in what irritat-
ing and offensive language some of onrNewspapers
have taken up this delicate subject. We remem-
ber how highly and justly offended the British
People were with the licentious and indecent man-
ner in whiCh some of the Spanish Journals treated
our exercise of influence at Cadiz, and our mili-
tary conduct at St. Sebastian's. Let us not then
be guilty of an offence, at which we were 'so in-
dignant in others. Let us dot hear of precipitat-
ing the Country into a war purely Spanish, or of
taking an angry part in a, Civil broil—
They who in quarrels interpose
Must often wipe a bloody nose,
is a homely but true adage, and enough of British
blood has already been shed in the glorious and
necessary
.struggle we have so 'triumphantly
closed—the immortal contest for our own :rights,
and the liberty and inde,bendence of Europe.—
There is rte good argument for our going to war
on this new ground. The dispute is of 'an inter-.
nal nature, and cannot (like the French Revolu-

tion) have any,external eifect to justify the hostile
interference of a foreign nation. The Spanish
People must and ought to decide the question.
If they do not approVe of the King's mea-
sures, it is not imaginable that he, coining al-
most an unattended individual from a prison,
should possess the power to 'rivet chains upon
them by for Ce. If they prefer the Constitution
given by the Cortes to that promised by the King,
there can be no doubt that they have the over-
whelming means of establishing their choice.
Again, then, we say Britain is only Called on
to offer.her best counsels, and most friendly good
offices, but not to draw a sword or pull h trigger
in the cause.

One ct the French Papers contains some curi-
ous speculations on -the subject of the Treaty,:
which will certainly be brought to this Country by
• Lord cASTLEREAGH next week. We believe the
statement of THE SUN. of Thorplay on this sub-
ject 'will be found to be strictly correct. The
territorial acquisitions which it is• said will be ac-
corded to France, will consist in an extension of
line of frontier towel-di the LOw Countrie3. The
monuments of Arts/it is asserted, are to remain

sacred) which will commemorate the Birth of the
Father of the English People, and the complimen-

Lord KINNAIRD and Lord Wm. FITZRON have
landed at Deal from France, in his Majesty's cnt-

may probably take "some further notice of this
subject next week.
