should have prevented them f!nm pressing their
rights at the present jUncoare, If he were o-'e of
the greatest friends of the measure, improperly
termed Catholic Emancipation, he would
Ohject to then- violation of the law. He would op-,
pose the Comminee on the grounds upon Nhich
was moved. by the _Noble Lord, without arianging
or even seeing jhe means by which they were to.
carry the measure into etTect.- Some -persons were
for 'an unconditional repeal of all the ;
,others again were for .a conditional one and
of this latter cla.s he thought the Noble Lords
appeared to be. A late Right. Honourable and
much lamented friend of his (Mr. Roy, wi'h all his
anxiety for the measure, and anxious he knew him
to bc, had determined that he never would propose
it, until, at the same time, he could propose the se-
curities which would be necessary. If they.intend-
ed to proceed softly, they would not go into a
Committee : the (Ariel was to conciliate the Ca
tholics by the adoption' of other securities than
those which existed at present ;.bot how could he
tell that such an exchange of securities would meet
thi- wishes of the Catholics ? He would therefore
upon-their Lordships to resist the motion. Up•
oar-the'llOestion itself his sentiments were known,
and he should be ready to 'repeat them when it was
brought properly before them. 'Until the securities
could be proposed, he did not approve of exciting the
expedations and passions of the people.
Lord GRENVILLE regretted that the Noble Lord
had not acted upon this principle some years ago,
and disdained to excite the passions of the people,
instead of being one of an Administration who had
excited 'the diabolical cry of " No Popery !" to
serve their own purposes. Were they now to ask
what part of the condud of Government was un-
favourable to the Catholics, when it was evident
that every part was marked with hostility and ma-
lignity ? He then entered into a long discussion to
prove the legality of the Catholic Meetings, and con-
cluded with- an exhortation to adopt the Course ,of
conciliation.

cerned. The July returned thefollowin:g verditl:--
" We find against the Challenge."—The Court ad.

ors. 'fire Proprietors deserte trig!' praise for Elie
splendour with which this Drama is brought forward
in scenery, dresses, &c. An earthquake formed, 'de
tremendous feature in this piece; it made a strong
impression on the audience, and excited great ap-
plause. The Piece experienced a very favourable re-
ception. Mr. REYNOLDS is the avowed author, and it
is solnevi hat extraordinary that one whose cotnk
muse has been so luxuriant should be capgble of pro.
dticing a drama of so vuly differ :Ili a nature.
We fed much regret in stating, that the Lady of
