DAILY
Extracts from .the,Norning Papers, Feb. 9, 1825.

[THE TIMES.]
•- The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived last night.
They have got two subjects of discussion, on
which they are not sparing of remark—namely,
Ilse ministerial revolution at Lisbon, and the
King of England's speech at the opening of Par-
liament. It will not appear by any means sin-
gular, that these two things should be connected
together, when it is considered that in the latter
the recognition of South American independence
is a principal topic of interest, and the former is
supposed to be brought about with the inten-
tion of securing that of Brazil. The Etoile, which
clamoured so loudly, and reasoned so absurdly,
against the admission of the new republics to the
rank of Independent States, now discovers that
our recognition of them is a matter of no moment
to us or them, and that it can lead to no import-
ant consequences as respects the other European
Powers. With regard to the change of the Ca-
binet in Portugal, the same paper has found out
that it will turn entirely to the advantage of the
Holy Alliance. This political optimism is a
happy doctrine both for ultra journalists and
their employers, when no hope can be enter-
tained from successful opposition. It is pro-
bably to give his formal assent to this con-
soling tenet, that Prince 'Metternich is zoming
to Paris! Let us hope, therefore, that they are
sincere in their conversion, and that we shall hear
Ao more the abusive, terms of insurgents, rebels,
and revolutionists, applied to the respectable
rulers of the American Republics. In the
Quotiedienne we find a letter, dated Lisbon,
23d ult. which contains some details respect-
ing the late change of ;Ministry, and the character
of the new Ministers. The dismissal of the late
Cabinet is ascribed, not to English influence, but
to internal disunion; and Sir W. A'Court is.stated
-not to have known of the change till late in the
day when took place. Pinheiro, who was Mi-
nister in the time of the Cortes, is stated to have
Tiefused his new appointrrient, from a fear of ex-
c...ting the hostility of. the Royalists. Torres,
who is appointed Minister of Marine, is described
as a man little known in Portugal, and not much
-..tcquainted with public affairs; while great praise
is bestowed on hello, the new Minister of Fi-
nance. This Paper beseeches-the Holy Alliance.
to be firm, and England will abandon the trans-
. Atlantic States as shefabandonerlititeTeninsula
two yearsago..To such an anticipation, founded
on such'reasoning, we have no other answer to
make, than _that England has more power on the
ocean than on the Pyrenees, and the Atlantic is
broader than theßidassoa.

[BRAT'S!! PRESS]
The Marquis of Latisdown, pursuant to the
nalice he gave on Monday evening, moved, last
night, for the production of " Copies of all dis-.
.ivitches sent-by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
relative to the origin, progress, and nature of the
~,r4ious and political Societies of that country,
and their conequencet." The Noble Lord
founded his motion on the argument, that as Par-
liament is to be called upon to provide against
the danger that exists in Ireland, it ought to be
put into possession of all the official information
that Government can-furnish. This proposition
was, we need hardlysay, ingeniously illustrated
aid ably supported. by the Noble Marquis,
whose greatialents amply qualify him to do jus-
tice to every subject on which he addresses hit
Peers. But ingenious and able as was the

speech by which the motion was introduced,'
the clear and impressive reply of the Earl of
Liverpool carried conviction to all who heard
him, as we have no doubt the Report of his
speech will, to all who read it, that the required
information could not be praporly submitted to
Parliament on the question'it would have to con-
sider. Where a measure is rendered necessary
by particular facts, an inquiry must take place
to satisfy the conscience of the Legislature; but
where a Bill is founded on general principles, it
would be idle and ridiculous to go into an inves-
►ization of every circumstance that may be affect-
ed by it, connected with the proposed change. In
such a case Parliament must act upon its ownknow-
ledge. This was what it did with respect to the
Orange Associations two years ago, and what it
will now lie called upon to do with respect to
the Catholic Association. Lord Liverpool said
truly, that " if the measure to be Propased rested
on official information—if it rested. oiily on the
confidence that ought to be reposed in the Go-
vernment—if it rested solely upon the responsibi-
lity of his Majesty's Ministers, it might be a fair
case for asking information." But the discussion
will turn les.: on what the Catholic Association
has actually done,—though all that is perhaps as
well known to the Opposition as to his Majesty's
Ministers themselves,—than on the. effects calcu-
lated to result in the present state of Ireland
from associations so constructed. This was what
Parliament considered when it legislated to put
1 down the Orange Societies as they were then
constituted ; and the same rule will now be in
justice applied to the Catholic Association. On
the division of the House the motion was nega-
tived by a majority of 42 not-contents against a
minority of 20 contents.

[MORNING POST. j
In the House of Lords, last night, the Mar-
quis of Lansdown moved an Address to his Ma-
jesty for Copies of the Dispatches received from
the Lord Lieutenant-of Ireland relatively to Re-
ligious and Political Institutions in that country.
He grounded his motion on the necessity of in-
quiry before passing restrictions tendinc, to cur-
tail the legal privileges of the subject in Ireland.
The Earl of Liverpool regretted that the Noble
Marquis had not waited a few days to know the
nature of the measure about which he was talking,
as he was aware that it would ,be introduced in
another place to-morrow. fie declared that it
was not founded on official information or confi-
dential communications, but merely on- the open
proceeding of the Catholic Association, whose
boast it was that all they did was in the face of
day. He also reminded their. Lordships that
when they adopted
.a .measure against Orange So-
cieties two years ago no information had been
called few, but it had passed on the sole ground
of the notoriety of the facts. He declared the
present Bill to be an Irish -measure, recom-
,mended by the Government of Ireland, and ap-
proved by that of England, from a deep sense
of its necessity to maintain the peace and pro-
sperity of the country. The opposition, hoW-
ever, persevered in supporting a motion which
was really the most unnecessary intrusion on the
time of the House that we ever. remember.
The question was even pushed, to .a division, when
aie motion was duly rejected by a majority of
42 tp 20.—Mr. Serjeant Onslow's annual Bill for
the repeal of the Usury Laws was introduced in
the House of Commons.; but not without so
strong an opposition, even in that early stage, as
to render its ultimate fate by no means doubtful.—
Lord Althorpe, with more prospect of success,
also brought in hi annual Bill .relative to the re-
covery of Small Debts.--,Mr. Davis presented a
petition from Bristol against the Catholic Asso-
ciation and the claims of that body ; and inti-
mated that he should soon have to present six-
teen more of a similar description.
