SOLEIU GUIS DIOERE FALSUM AUDEAT

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, FEB. 22, 1825.

Last night the Bill for the Suppression of the
Unlawful Associations in Ireland was read a
second time time in the House of Commons, and
carried without much debate by a majority of

146. This result may be said to have put sign
and seal on the death warrant of the Association ;
and we are only astonished that so much discus-
sion should have arisen to impede the speedier
execution of this incumbent though stern duty.
Whatever excuses we might be induced to make
for the diversities of opinion on the subject of
Catholic Emancipation, we confess we are illi-
beral enough, if illiberal it be, to behold with
amaze, not unmingled with regret, the phalanx
or ability which the Catholic Association had
the power to muster for its defence, in the
late struggle in the arena of Parliament. We

are ready to admit, that there is a something
irresistible in the tones of deprecation issuing
• from the lips of the Owncast, who fancy them-
selves
the victims of oppression. From this
circumstance the plaint of the petitioning Ca-
, tholics, while they comport themselves with hu-
mility, and clothe their visages with becoming
sorrow, might on the first sight of their case, gain

!natty friends to their cause; but is there aught
effrontery, or the rave of infuriate endeavour,

to excite the sympathy of beholders, or to guide.

their hands mechanically to relief ? What quali-
k ties but these are to be traced in the attitude of
the Catholic Association ? and, notwithstanding
the Opposition gladly buckled on the armour
of its champions, engraving on their banner—
" Resist, and ye mill be successful !"--the
lipshot of the business is, that the Catholics

hot having the power to do worse, are deter-

mined to lose no opportunity of thrusting their
thorns i►► the sides of Protestant Ascendancy ;
'i►'d the Opposition, espying no chance of doing
better, are equally eager, on all such occasions,
to magnify the scratches of these burrs into
gashes and mighty scars. But this glowing zealotry
►►ev-er effect the ultimate object it pants
for. Tke Association may assert what it

pleases, and the Opposition may throw in
their yokes, in concert with its sentiments,
but the daring boldness of that body cannot be
truckled -to by Government : its object being
'sinister and palpable, coercion has become in-
4ispensabl,e, since no middle course could be
available to counteract its operations. It
would have been well, we think, for the
ulterior claims of the Catholics, if they had
blighted this Society in the bud, as the tone
and,proceedings of even its dawning existence
have obviously demonstrated what its prose-
"lsm would have emboldened it to aspire to,
Lad it attained the vigour of maturity before the
extinction of its hopes : and, if, after the peril
of this
parried thrust, we permit the Catholics
aqai
o to steal a march on use and bereave us of
the
vantage ground, we shall, as a nation, de-
-so.
ive all the ills we meet with, be the-j the worst
which can befal.

The Paris Morning Papers of Saturday, like
those of the preceding day, are filled with the
debates ii the Chamber of Deputies on the pro.
Posed indemnity to the emigrants. M. GIRAIt,
l 3 who was not allowed to address the Cham-
t'er On Thursday, has published the speech he in-
ed to have delivered. Ilis object was to
v.a‘'e pointed out the indecency of the emigrants
b°,,i9ag' in favour of a project in which they are, as
it.'lVidllaiS, so directly and deeply interested. It
'Tears from his calculation that there are, in the
tPiresent Chamber of Deputies, 320 members, of
the
°ld privileged classes, 184 of whom belong to
e ancient nubility ; besides which there are 260
Public functionaries. The Law of Sacrilege has
lbssed the Chamber of Peers by a majority of
I) against 92. In the present temper of the.
trePuties, there can be no doubt it will be carried
ttulliarriPliantly through the Lower Chamber. The
poe.nthilent to which we alluded yesterday, pro-
oslng to substitute the punishment of hard la-
-13:" for that of death, was moved by M. de
141tb, and though powerfully supported by
j • tie C IIA1• or" LAUBRIAND, was rejected by a ma-
to,,Y of only four, the numbers being 108 against
pe-*: The Penalty of death, however, at a bite
po
of the discussion,_ was modified so as to be
lb Lie contingent on two circumstances : the one,
u
ii„at the sacred vases at the moment of profana-
otin Should contain consecrated hosts ; and the
oer, that the profanation should have been
ctp in the view of several persons. When
tY ene of the contingencies occur, profanation

h punished by hard labour for life. When
Pen committed publicly, death is to ensue,
Did t° be preceded by an amende honorable. The
iieers Were afterwards occupied with the consi-
(l ration of a Law against Piracy.
