[MORNING CRROSICLIA
The Paris Papers of Tuesday are filled with
the report of the Debate on the Indemnity Law.
The speeches on both sides are very warm, not
to gay violent. General Foy exclaimed, "W. hat
did the Emigrants want, with foreigners ? 1 hey
War in the train of the in-
will answer, war.
vatiers of France. War under Chiefs and with
soldiers, whose ambition and fury after the •vic-
iory they would not have been able to restrain."
?ri de Viltele endeavours to act the mediator,
:Aid to set Off against the evil of emigration the
immense benefit of which it had been productive
to France, in preserving for it the race of its
binge :
• " Amnon (says 31. de Viliele) is made of the evils caused
by, emigration: but 1 demand, what would have become of our
Princes—what would nave become of the august author of the
Charter—what would have become of the King, who governs
4a, if they had not emigrated ? What would we ourselves
-nave been but for the emigration of our Princes ? Without
Chia emigration, what could we have opposed to the armies of
Europe, in 1814 [keen rumour, interruption] ?" Voice to the
left : We should have driven them. back, instead of paying
them a ransom 1"
de Villele, with warmth : " Undoubtedly,
France would have vomited forth the foreign ar-
mies ; but at the price of how much blood and de-
vastation ? flow many humiliations must have been
suffered, before all hearts could have been pene-
trated with those sentiments of indignation which
would have been necessary to bring about at last
our deliverance ! The liberation of the territory
operated without convulsion,and without violence,
the return of the general peace, and the public
liberty, the prosperity which we now enjoy. This
is what weowe to the emigration which has preserv-
ea -for us our Princes !"—This concession, extort-
ed from M. de Villele, in favour of the vanity
of the Nation, that France could have beat off the
invaders, though it .‘ as, upon the whole, better to
buy them off, will Itardry, we fear, be palatable
to this proud and prosperous people. If Monsieur
tie Villele has been forced to concede so much to
national vanity, why may not some other person
recommend to his master to efface the memory
of the Battle of Waterloo (which no Frenchman
can digest), and at the same time discharge a
'sacred debt to Ileaven, by carrying the Banner
of the to Irish ground. We suspect the
addition to the debt of France caused by such
an expedition, would be consented to with much
more pleasure than that created by the indem-
nity law. A French King may not always be
proof against the temptation of unbounded popu-
larity, though the rulers of the country, in fur-
nishing him with such a temptation, are proof
against the suggestions of common sense.

[NEW TIMES.]
In the House of Lords last night, the second
-reading of the Bill for Regulating the Proceed-
ing of the Scotch Courts of Law, was moved by
the Lord Chancellor, and the further considera-
tion of it fixed for Tuesday next. Lord Suffield
brought in a Bill to declare the use of Sprinc,
•Guns unlawful for the protection of game, and
the second reading was ordered for next Thurs-
day, This Bill will introduce a Most important
change, and will excite the lively attention of
many friends of humanity, who have long taken
the deepest interest in the matter. Petitions were
presented by the Earl of Donoughmore and the
Marquis of Lansdown respecting the Catholics of
Ireland. In the House of Commons Petitions
relative to the Catholic 'Association were present-

ed by. Sir 3. Newport, Mr. C. Hutchinson, and
Mr. Aberrromhy ; and the presenting- of one on
.the same subject by Mr. Denman, led to a some-
what animated conversation between hint and Sir
T. Lethbridge, Mr. Hume, and Mr. Peel ; %lien
t!ie [tight Honourable Secretary distinctly al-
rrried, that he had never in his life encouraged
the presewaiion of Petitions against the Ca-.
- &Italics. Mr. IVodehouse moved for the appoint-
. inent of it Select Committee on the removal of
the Norfolk Spring Asizes from Thetford to
kforwich,; and- on a division the motion was lust,
there brig; 21 in-fa...our, and 72 against it.

[MORNING POST.]

Sir John Newport's LSill, rehitive to Vestries
and the. Assessment of Church Rates in Ireland,
is.a. most important measure. The manner in
which it has ht -en received by Mr. Goulburn, on
the:.part of the Irish Government, and as the
ergarvolthe.-sentiments of the Protestant Clergy
of Ireland on the subject it respects, is another
convincing proof of the desire prevailing in all
quarters to serve awl conciliate the mass of the
- .poople in the Sister Country. We trust, how-
. aver, that in the present instance the Legislature
will take care to circumscribe the operation of
those feelings within such prudent bounds as shall
be. consistent with the perfect safety of the Esta-
blished. Church. Circumstanced as Ireland is-
- having (on an average) in every Parish of the
- island a vast majority of the inhabitants Catho-
Tics—if these are admitted to vote at vestries on
the same conditions as Protestants, the rates for
• the we of the Established Church, which must
tiltinrately come oat of their own pockets, we
predict:(though, not given to prophesy), that the
overthrow of the Irish Establishment will follow
ere- long as a thin!.T., of course HOW can it be
otherwise? Will any sincere Catholic be hypo-
crite enough to assert..that• he has a single feeling

far Protestanism or the Protestant Church, but
heartfelt wish, emanating from what he con-'
reives a religious duty, to destroy- both as soon
as possible ?
No honest Papist would dare to an.
swer candidly, and answfbr, in the negative. 1 s
