bitac, ae qu al ifica tion s for the enjoymmt of certain offices
flanchises, and civil rights, therein mentioned.
``2. That such parts of the said oaths as require a declaras
tion to be made against the belief of Transubstantiation, or
that the invocation or adoration of the Virgin Mary, or any other

Saint, and the sacrifice of the Mass, as used in the Church or
Rowe, are superstitious and idolatrous, appear to this Com-
mittee to relate to opinions merely speculative and dogmatical
not affecting the allegiance or civil duty of the subject, and that
the same may, therefore, safely be repealed.
" S• That it appears to this Committee, that in several Acts
Paued in the Parliaments of Great Britain and Ireland respec-
t►vely, a certain Oath, commonly called the Oath of Supre-
ma?, is required to be taken as a qualification for the enjoy-
Mani of certain offices, franchises, and civil rights therein men-
tioo4l,l,
" 1. That in the said Oath and Declaration is contained,
That no Foreign Prince, Person, Prelate, State, or Poten-
tate. ought to have any jurisdiction, pcneer, superiority, pre-
ernMaui, or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within these
Ileakna.

" G. That it appears to this Committee, that scruples
are entertained by his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects,
With respect to taking the said Oath, merely on account
of the word spiritual' being inserted therein ; and that
Tor the purpose of removing such scruples, it would
be expedient to declare the-sense in which the said word is used,
according to the injunction issued by Queen Elizabeth, in the
first year of her reign, and recognized in the Act of the fifth
of her reign, and which, as explained by the thirty-seventh of
the Articles of the Church of England, imports merely that
the, Kings orthis Realm should govern all estates and degrees
comutifted to their charge by God, whether they be ecclesias-
Cutter temporal, and restrain with the civil sword the stubborn
az(' evil doer."

" C. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that such Act
of repeal and explanation should be accompanied with such ex-
etrios3B and regulations as may be found necessary fin- preserv-
V ?trolley-ably the Protestant succession to the Crown, accord-
ing to the Act for the further limitation of the Crown, and

better securing the rights and liberties of the subject, and for
Maintaining inviolate the Protestant Episcopal Church of Eng-
land and Ireland, and the doctrine, government, and discipline
theta f; and the Church of Scotland, and the doctrine, worship,
140vottment, and discipline thereof ; as the same are by Law
reilliectively established."

Mr. PEEL suggested to his friends the inexpediency of
°,PPosing the Bill in its preliminary stages. Let it be intro-
" Ced, and those who agreed with him would he found ready
to take their stand against it on the second reading.
• AIL BROUGHAM approved of the fair and manly course
ditch the Right lion. Gentleman opposite proposed to pursue.
Hl' candid conduct on all occasions that this question was
'Might before the House, was indicative of the sincerity of the
opinions he espoused upon it.—(Hear, hear!)
Mr. PEEL wished to know when the Hon. Baronet intended
to move for the second reading of the Bill.
Sir F. BURDETT replied, that it was not his intention to
.Pro Pose the second reading of it until after Easter.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the
Hausa adjourned at HALF•PAST THREE O'CLOCK.
