ROMAN CATHOLIC ESTABLISHMENTS.

Lord COLCHESTER rose, in pursuance of his notice yes-
terday, to move for certain returns relative to Raman Catholic-
colleges, chapels, and religious houses in Great Britain. He
had observed he said, in the votes of the other House of Par.
liantent, that a notice had been given not long since, of the in-
tention to bring in a Bill for the'endoWment of institutions for
charitable purposes by Roman Catholics. He believed that no
such Bill had yet been brought in, and he therefore took it for
granted that the step would be taken in the next Session, and
on this account, he wished for certain previous information
upon thesubject, in order to enable the House wisely to tle-•
termine whether such a measure ought to be encouraged.
He wished, first to 'obtain a statement of the number of
Roman Catholic chapels in England. They were certainly
tolerated by law ; but 'it was now necessary to decide whether
'lt was fit that they should be permanently ingrafted on the
institutions • of the country : this was certainly a question
of some importance. Next he was desirous of knowing the
number of Roman _Catholic schools, academiei, and colleges,
protected in the same way by law, and which, by the
.pro-
posed Bill, were to be fixed, as It were, in the 'soirof the king-
dom. The only one of the kind yet endowed by law wits
at Maynooth, in Ireland; and which, he'appreheraled, by ex-
perience, had lost much of the favour of its orginal promoters.
The third and main topic on which he required information re-
ferred to what were termed religious houses, sometimes also call.
ed reputed convents or monasteries. Those who resided in
I Lancashire, and many others, knew of the establishment of
Stonyhurst ; and, in. the county of Kildare there was a si.
miler institution : they were under the management of per-
' sons oA'ONVillg themselves Jesuits ; they wore the habit of the
order, and the principals had attended at Rome on the last
election of a General. A noble person t we did not hear the
name) had bet year felt so strongly the danger of.a then-
iisipected large importation of Jesuits into this empire, that
he had remonstrated, with the Conn of Rome against the plan
at that time in contemplation of putting all the English and
Irish students under the superintendence of the Jesuits. It was
very proper that this fact should be known. The House was
probably aware that there existed a large And splendid establish-
ment of a similar nature in Somersetshire, the members of
which traversed the country, purchasing some converts, and
making others. It was, in his Lordship's view, necessary to
have not only an account of the Roman Catholics belonging to
these Institutions, but also of those persons who were bound by
monastic vows, although not attached to religious betties. Some
years ago, when he (Lord Colcheater) was Chief Secretary-for
Ireland, he had had placed in his hand, authentic papers show-
ing that there were in that part of the empire no less than 09
religious houses of various orders—Franciscan, Dominican,
Carmelites, &c. Nothing could be more important than to
consider how far it was the policy of this Protestant Govern•
ment to give these establishments a further and firmer footing ;
and to facilitate the decision of this question was the object of
his motion. The Noble Lord concluded by moving an address
to the Crown to direct the Archbishops and Bishops to instruct
the parochial Clergy of their dioceses to procure and transmit
infatuation upon the points to which he had adverted.
The Earl of rtossiNN (the motion having been seconded)
expressed his regret that this subject had been brought forward
in the absence of most of his noble friends, who would have
strenuously resisted the proposition : he felt called upon to op-
' pose it. It was admitted that the bill threatened in the'lleuse
of Commons had not even been introduced, anion the porible
contingency that the measure would be brought forwerd in the
next Session, it was a little too much to spread anxiety and alarm
through the kingdom by the motion just submitted. It was
singular, as the Noble Baron had spoken with mei apparent
horror of no less than till Roman Catholic institutions in Ireland,
that his proposition did not extend at all to that part of the em-
pire, though the bill of endowment of which belied spoken was to
be introduced by two Irish Members, and was intended to apply
especially to Ireland- It was known that mentiatic establish.
ments could not exist bylaw, and the motion theretbre cafiesi
them "reputed monasteries ;" and it was worthy of observation
that the parochial clergy were to be required to transmit what
but for the interposed authority of the House, must be looked

upon as libels—viz. assertions that such an -such institutions
.werts, in fact, monasteries, and contrary to
~ He (the Earl
of Rossi n) could not of courseimpute a bad ve to the Noble
Baron; but-the obvious tendency of the Read ''of this subject
was.to excite 'clamour : and if the motion was ayried, distur-
bance and tumult might be the result before-the commence.
ment of the heat ' Session of Parliament. He hoped that the
Noble Baron would consent to withdraw his proposition.
CONFERENCE. ' ' •
While the Earl 'of Rossr.rx was still speaking, a message
was brought up from the Commons, returning the New-South
Wales Jurisdiction Bill, t)2e Irish Tithe Composition Bill, and
the General Turnpike Bill, with the Amendments agreed to.
Mr. W. WY NN also brought up'a message from the Coin.
mons, requesting a conferrenee with the Lords, regarding ei.r.
tain amendments'they had made to the Bill fur the regulation
of the Scotch Commissary Courts.

Lord E MELVILL 1.1)0.ml-that the amendment be Muhl-

effect was sent to the Commons. .
The debate upon 'Lord Colchester's motion, was then re-
sumed. . .

• The LORD ,CHANCELLOR wished the 14oble Lord; to
withdraw his motion; and hoped that if a Bill was brought in
upon the subject next Session, it would he brought in, in such
time as to afford full opportunity for deliberation.
Lord COLCHESTER withdrew his motion ; but said, that
he should certainly renew it, if a Bill was brought in, next
session:
After a few words from the Earl of ROSSLY27, the motion
was withdrawn. .
A Message was -then brought up from the Commons, re-
questing a conference with their Lordships upon the Scotch
Confirmation The conference accordingly took placx in
the Painted Chamber, and their Lordships; on the return .of
their Managers, sent a notice to the house of Commons that
their, amendments Would not be insisted upon.—Their Lord-
ships then adjourned.

.11ouse OF COMMONS
eVt. ten o'clock this morning the SPEAKER having entered
the 11-Onse,.the Usher of the Black Rod summoned the Muse
to the House of Lords to 'hear the Rnyal assent given by
commission to various Bills (for which see the'Lords' report.)
The SPEAKER having returned to the House alone, a
message from the House of Lords was— announced. The
Speaker tresired the Sergeant et Arms to request that some
Honourable Mernber would come in.

Mi". PETER MocinE then entered, and the message was re.

A person from the Treasury attended with Papers, which
were ordered. to txt printtd.
The House then adjourned until four o'clock in the afternoon.

The-House having met at four o'clock,
.Mr. P. MOORE presented a Petition from Mr. Benjamin
'Wells, recommending various modes of employing labonrers;
and lessening the poor4ate taxes.---To be printect
Mr. P. MOORE gave three notices for the next Session of
Parliament—first, to _revive his 41111 for 'the repeal of all the
Combination Laws ; secondly, to revive a Bill which he intro-
duced four years ago, lost by misunderstandings , amongst the
scientific profession, for the regulation of Clock and 'Watch-
makers ; ,arid thirdly, to blip& io a Bill for the consolidation of
„ihs Laws of Apprenticeship, and'to revive the ancient system
of apprenticeship unrl,,r regttlar indentures.
Mr. ABERCROM LW wished to state to the louse that he
had received a letter from the Sheriff of Armagh, who com-
plained not of what the Hon. Member had said, but of what the
newspapers had made him say. lie knew that it was disorderly
to-allude in this place to publications which took place out or
the House; but as the Sheriff's application to him was a per-
fectly courteous one, he would take this opportunity of stating,
in compliance with that Gentleman's wish, that Sir James
Strong was not the
Orangenien in the town of Armagh ; but that, on the contrary,
gentleman who presided at a meeting of
he was no party-man, and disapproved of all such distinctions.
The-Lords' amendments were then agreed to on the Irish
Tithes' Commutation Bill, and on the New South Wales Ju.

On the motion that the Lords' amendments to the Scotch
Commissaries' Court be agreed to,
Lord A. HA MILTON objected, on the ground that their
Lordships had changed the day on which the repeal of the fees
was to take place, from the Ist of January to the :15th bf
March. ._ This, he contended, would be a violation of one of the
most hitportant privileges of the House; the Bill, relating tot it
did, to an impost on the subject, must be considered as a
MoneY Bill; their Lordships' alteration would have the effect
of keening that impost in existence three months-longer than
the House had intended, .and for this reason he submitted the
alterations could not be agreed to.
The SPEAKER. was of opinion, that :IS the receipt of fees
Was already established by, the authority of this House, the
alterations made in the House or Lords, as to. the, period at
. which they should cease, was not in violation of the orders.
A short discussion ensued', in which-Air. J. P. Grant, Mr.
Calcraft, Mr. Abercromby, and Mr. Bright. supported the
objectiou, and Mr. Peel, Mr. K. Douglas, Mr. Croke.r, Mr.
Canning, and Mr. Wynn, spoke in favour of the amendMents.
In conclusion, however, the amendments relative to the re-
ceipt of fees were. negatived. The other amendments were
agreed to.
A Comtniuee was then appointed to draw up- the 'reasons on

SILK MANUFACTURE BILL
Mr. CALCRAFT wished to know front the Right Ilan.
Gentleman (Mr. Huskiseon) what course he intended, to pur-
sue with respect to the Spitalfielde Acts' repeal Bill, which eery
nearly interested a large portion of the working community ut•

to move that the amendments should be agreed to. The House
of Lords had agreed to a report on this subject, which had been
communicated to the Helga of Cimunms• It was proposed to
alter the bill 'in conformity with certain opinion* .contained in
that report. Those alteration!! had,. heen Pilule ; and now the

Mr. CA ',CRAFT did not, Mull that moment; knew

rather imagined, as two conference
,s were about to beheld with,
the Lords, that the Right lion. Gentleman would endeavour
to

measure. Their Lordships had altered the bill in such a way,
that the Right Honourable Gentleman could no longer agree
to father or foster it. Indeed it would have been impossible
for hint to concur in such amendments. Much difference of
opinion seemed to exist amongst the Members of Administra-
tion. The other evening there teas a difference on a pure matter
of taste, and now there appeared to be a difference on a mere
matter of trade. The fate of this bill would, he hoped, teach
Gentlemen not to introduce measures vitally affecting large
bodies of the community, without fully considering and per-
fectly understanding the subject.
Mr. A BERCRON BY said, he was extremely glad that the
Bill would not be allowed to pass in its, rix it was called,
amended shape. But this opportimity ought not to be lost--it
ought not to be suffered to go by—without exposing to the peo.
ple what sort of regard was had to the principles of
.justice and
humanity—what sort of feeling there was for the interests of
those poor individuals which the parties who altered theßill pro-
fessed to have so much at heart. The narrow, intolerant, and he
would say ignorant, principles, on which those amendments
proceeded, ought to be canvassed, for the purpose of showing I
that the tneasure as altered' would be most unjust and most mis-
chievous. Individuals alseWhere supported those amendments,
on the grpund that they would secure the comfort, prosperity,.
and happiness of the class which would be affected by the Bill ;
while it could it 'fact 'be lonstrated as clearly as arty thing
could be- tientonstrated tateit Mit the measure 'as it stood' would

was a measure entirely on one side, and would operate ugainst,
and not in favour; of time suffering workmen. 'lt would be
the means of taking away front among those people that capital
which formed the means by which they lived, and compel them
;to fall back on the parish for subsistence. It would . subject
them to thoie restrictions and regulations which were most un-
'fortunate for duke over whom they were exercised. It there
where people in this country who.thought it was a misfortune
to have such a large manufacture as that of silk in this metro-
polis, fearful lest, under particular circumstances, the public
peace and. tranquillity might be endangered, he would ask
them, which was the better way to render those people con-
tented and happy, by giving them a free trade, by taking
measures to render that trade extensive, or by framing enact-
ments which must leave them to perish, or compel them to tall
back on the parish for support ?—(Hear !)
r. rutimiT would, in one Sentence, answer the question
• of the Hon: MeMber for Caine, by stating that the experiment
had been tried elsewhere—had been tried in Coventry----nnd the
• consequence was, that the people were thrown out of work, and
. were reduced 'to great distress. He Wits meceedingly:glad that
the Bill was lost, not so much on account of the principle on
which it was foundeib (although it had been pushed much far-
ther thin it should have been), but because no inquiry, no ex-
amination had been entered into, which, he contended, ought
to have preceded the Bill. The. Lords examined the parties
interested, and the result was, that they removed those clauses
'which were most relied ho in that House. It would now go forth
to the world, that the Commons had refused to listen to the re.
presentations of the people, while the Lords lent swilling ear to
their complaints. It was a most lamentable thing, that they, the
representatives of the people; would not hearken to the voice of
the people, on matters which so deeply interested, them. The bill
was intended for, the benefit of the masters—the evidence cited
was the'evidence of the misters.and yet they, the organ of the
eeople, would hear nothing from. them. He repeated, that he
uas glad the Bill had been defeated. The principles on which
it proceeded were nut, its his opinion, fitted for the comnheated
state of society in'whielt they lived; and If they attempted to_
legislate without entertaining practical viewS, they would de-
stroy the prosperity and happiness of those whom they in,tended
to benefit. . • •

Mr: CORDON differed entirely from the lion. Member for
'Bristol. He regretted most sincerely that the Bill had 'Milked
carried, because he thought it one of the first steps towants
proving the system of legislation with respect to trade. It should
be .recollected that the Committee of the House of Lordi, with
ono exception, unanimously approved this Bill; and it was
merely owmg to the objection an Noble and Learned Lord, who
had such extraordinary power over that House,. that the rtes:
sure was not carried. He hoped, howeVer, that the Right Hon.
Gentleman would not abandon the liberal syStem he appeared
to be so anxious to introduce. !le trusted that he would again
bring the mu under the consideration of the House, and that
he would use'his Utmost inflitence td have tt passed /near' hiss.
Mr. CANNINti said that the object of his Hight Hon.
Friend undoubtedly was to Introdoce a more sound and liberal
mode of legislation with respect to trade than bad licr&olore
' prevailed. If, however, those who bad the task bringing for-
ward those free principles, the excellence of. which was gene.
rally admitted, but against which almost every one entertained
some little corner of dissent, were impeded in their efrorts
by a race for a little popularity, the course would prove a very
unprofitable one for the public, and little, if any, pi-ogress
would ultimately be made. Ile thought that the subject
ought now to be taken up in that House where those amend.
Ments originated. In its present shape it would not be seas.
factory to any paparty--not even to those for whose handl( the
alterations wer6,intended. It was to be supposed that the
Lords themselves would take up the question, as it would be
very natural for them to give effmt to their own report in the
next session.

. Mr. H. GURNEY, as we understood, expressed his opinion
that such a Bill as this ought not to be passed, unless certain
Acts were first repealed which bore with much severity on the
workmen.
Here the conversation ended.

Mr. W. %%'YNN stated, that the Committee hail come to
the following resolution relative to certain of the Lords' amend-
ments in the Scotch Commissaries Bill :

"'That the Commons could not agree to the cessation of
the fees on the later. day, and that they did not feel it neces«
sary to state any other reasons for their determinatiop,"—.;
(Laughter.)
A similar resolution was adopted with respect to the aniend-
ments in the Scotch Confirmation J.lill. •

The Members were then nominated for managing the confer.
ence with the Lords in the Painted Chamber. On their return,
Mr. WY xx acquainted the 'louse that the Lords would com-
municate the result of the conferences by Messengers of their
own.

. Shortly after, the Masters in Chancery announced that their
Lordships did not insist on the amendments to which tit*
Commons had dissented.,

Mr. DOUGLAS presented a petition from the Legislature
of Tobago, complaining of the distressed state of the island.—
Laid on the table, and ordered to be printed.
Alderman WOOD presented`a petition from John Wilfred
Parkins, praying that, the House would inquire by what audio,

From the: annexed papers you will learn the

according to the comuunication of Adjutant-
General O'Doyle, from Astorga, the French
General Bourck cannot `suspend his operations
beyond the. sth, ou which day he must continence
his forward movement, if the Duke d'Angoulinne
does not send him contrary orders, I dread what
may happen in the mean time. But the division

one step more, anti then done with the business;

TO TICE PEOPLE AED 711. E TROOP'S OP Trir4Tll DISTRICT,

month, and the course which I proposed to motif. to follow,
A feeling of consideration towards men who repretente4 the
nation prevented me ft-out entering into &tails on the notoriOnit
infractions of the C.Onstitution which were' .cou'unitted ill; that
act ; but finding that thffe are still, per,iona who are disposed
to regard that act its valid, and that under,this pretext it is at-
tempted to divide the public opinion when union is most neies-
sary, I think it proper to state, that the Cortes, on the simple
motion of a Deputy, without referring that InOtion to a-Goin-
mittee---without making it pass through the form', for enacting
laws—without hearing the Council of State upon it, and with-
out requiring the opinion of the proper author:tics, as is ex
pressly directed by article of thetegulatton of the fortes,
and by their decree of the 4th of September, )1113... have tie,:
dared the King in a state of 'moral incapability, and instituted
a'Regency. ..IS this what we have sworn to.defend ? Can the
Cortex overthrow the Constitution of the State, absolutely-an-
nihilating the..itoyal Authority by it decree ?. Ilow can Ave be
faithful. to our'oatits, or preserve our honour, while we endure
so manifest a di:leader, so obvious an int'rF,tiop ? •

"This inconsiderate conduct has produced, at the proaent
moment, the fatal results that might haie been expected: The
English Ambassador,- and all the rest who are at present ac-
credited to our Government, will not recognize the new Re-
gency, and remain in Saville. Of the European Councillors of
State, only three have gone to Cadiz, and of these two ate
appointed members of the Regency, Nearly half of, .the,
puuss have refused to follow the Cortes, who, donbtlerea, have
not been able to assemble in Cadiz Ow fficient number for their
deliberations. A Secretary of. State, a man of acknowledged
honour and probity, has committed suicide, being unable, to
endure the idea of holding situation in which he might tap-
Pear to be an accomplice to so many evils. Another Secretary
of State remains in Seville, with all the official individuals
connected with his department, excepting one only ; and, in
short, dissolution• is manifest in every branch and in every de-
partment.
- " Meanwhile, other disorders 'prevail in the towns occupied
by the French, or subject to the Regency of Altallid. The
destitution of the King is assumed as a pretence far mu-
cueing all .who bear the title of Liberals. Persons are attacked,
property confiscated, and the spirit of party spares neither the
wives•nor the innocent children of these on whose destrtictien
they are bent. On all sides cries resound, that eventually
the crime of regicide will be committed, and the:passions Which
intianie men's.minds threaten to cover with mourning a great
portion of the Spanish territory.
" Amidst these distressing events, amidst these scenes of de-
solation .and horror, I raise toy voice to maintain union among
the troops, to preserve peace among the. people, and to offer a
point of support to all good men, wbo are oppressed by various
grievances, in different provinces eel the kingthina—to fulfethe
obligations of my oath,. and to save the national eharaeterm:-

honour entire ; or to.resist with the united force of troops and
inhabitants, if we cannot by honourable means procure a ,tie.
pension of hostilities.. Thus the three provinces will continua
to be governed by the constituted authorities, will reap the fruit
of peace and tranquillity, and influence by its powerful example
the happy issue of public allitire. •
" But a General, who in the mnitlat of assembled authoriCes
declared that the Regency of Seville ought not to be eclinow..
ledged, if it were constituted in the way mentioned hi the
Gazriti, which copied the Universal—a General, who in the
presence of a hundred witnesses, promised to take no part in
public affairs—who only requested that his person might remain
in safety, and that he might be permitted to embark —whd pro-
tested that he no longer entertained Willi hopes and. who was
treated with unlimited generosity; this General: 'Don Aplonie
Qniroga, intercepts my orders, assumes The command of .which
he was deprived by the Government, endeavours to seduce the
troops by an imposture foreign to the character which he rZpre.
soma, examines public correspondence, and recognizing the
tlle-
gal Regency of Seville, makes that a pretence for introducing
confusion and disorder, for enfeebling our' power, and placing
_us at the mercy of foreigners. No sooner did I bard his,first
aberration, than I wrote to him in friendshiA; ,the hope of
bringing him back to the path of duty and fatson tr but my
vice was rejected, and I found it impossible to rescue him from
the abyss into winch he had thrown himself.

" As little have the authorities fulfilled my expectations, and
while a million and a hallo( men applaud toy molution, a few
misguided persons,. who are always to be foond in the midst of
the curruptfons of great populations, and wheartthe dangers of
their country never induce to renounce their pregeets--these in.

the desolation. of the country which supports them.

" it is now time for even. the most incautious to separate thrit.
cause from that of the few who direct them, and who, reeopniz.„

[FROM TILE BAYONNE pAgnnsi
BAYONNE, 39.7 10.—As there is no Ingil from Madrid
to-day, we have no'news to communicatesfrom that Capital.—
The following statement respecting the Governor of St. Sebas-
tian is, however, interesting, as it spews that he is still dis-
posed to defend himself.
A French Officer with a flag of truce was very lately sent to
the fortress, to inform the garrison of the events that have
taken place in Catalonia, at Madrid, Seville, &c., and espe-
cially of the submission of Moriflo to the Regency.
A proposal was made to the Governor of St. Sebastian, to
send one of his officers to Madrid, that he might be able to con-
vince himself of the truth of the facts that were stated to him.

—The Governor replied to this, that all he wished to know to
guide his conduct, was the actual state of the garrisons of San-
tone and Pampeluna. The French General not having thought
fit to allnw him to have any communication with those places,
the negotiation was broken ()was quickly as it wits begun. It
is said that our soldiers, thinking that an acconunodation was
about to take place, imprudently approached nearer to the for-
tress, and were immediately saluted by a volley of grape-shot,
the garrison at,the same time making a brisk sally, by which
we sustained some loss.
Letters from. Saragossa, received to-day, assert that little
bands of Constitutionalists become more numertnts' so as con-
siderably, to harass our troops in Arra'on, and the flank of our
army M Catalonia. People here talk of a great personage
being'soon to arrive istre from Spain, and they hint, but with-
out affirming it, that it is the Duke of Angoulettie.
. courier from Madrid says, that one of his companions was
stopped and pluadeted ; the heat, which has set in late, is, he
says, now excessive, and our army has many sick in the hospi-
tals. Numerous waggons with provisions and military stores
continue to go to Spain.
We hear that M. Ouvrard has ceased, since the Ist of this
month, to be the Contractor-General. We have heard the
whole day a brisk cannonade in the direction of St. Sebastian.
This, it must be confessed, does not look like a suspension of
hostilities.
