sabeth, he rvaa not at all surprised at its passing ; and whni he
ilooked !hack to the perio.l, and the circumstances by which it
was excited, and the history of these circurnitance,, he was not

publishing them were equally !Wale to prosecution wits any

rei:u iating it, as he emphatically did at the present moment.
He felt hound to say that the rtempt to introluce Noel domi-
nation in temporal affairs in all the cantineutal countries. was
without success. He would ask them to repeal tt:os> numerous
.A.tts with re,erence to persons protesting the Roman Crhelic
reagion, and to blot them out at once in the stature. Let
their laws he a-little more in aceerlaiice with the other civilised
Governments of -':urope, and let measures be adopted at once
to Jo away with the anomaly. Their Lordships might be
assured that there WAS nothing to fear at the present moment
with respect to any aternpte(husurpat ion of the Papal power in
this country. Taey knew little of the Roman Catholic spirit
if they could think that any attempted interference on the part
of the Pope in temporal again would nit be resisted. Were
they aNnainted with the state of society on the Continent, and
with the spirit which existed in the various Roman Catholic
State- ? Did they know what was the general feeling which
ri.igned in the society in Italy and also in Spain within the last
year or two? Had they read the writings of various learned
authors in France? He was convinced there was no danger in
the present mature, and would wiilingly kin in expunging
those obnoxious Acts from the statute-book. He would leave,
however, the entire management of all ulterior arrangement
to his Noble and Learned Friends.
Lord COLCHESTER said the Noble Lord had rererred to
the temporal change in the Pope's supremacy which hart been
made in other countries. Ile thought that the Pope had acted
very wisely in interfering in Spain, Portugal, and other coun-
tries, because the state of us n 4 minds in those ccitintries was
etch as not to admit of any interference en the part of th,i Pope
in their temporal affairs. He thought that very great change•
were taking place among the clergy in our country. and it
was net altoge her clear that their domlivtion might not ul-
teriorly be gr..atly increased if steps were not taken to prevent
it. He was quit., willing to acquiesce in the principle,' of that
Bill which provided that no penalty si'ould be intimied on any
person profeAsing any riligion, whether he were a Roman Ca-
!belie, a Jew, or a Mahomedan.
Lord CAMPBELL said he did not wish to throw any ob-
stacle in the way of his Noble and Learned Friend, but he
thought at ad events he ought to have introduced the two Bits
together, that they might be inked pari passe, and their
Lordships might have the opportunity of judging of both. The
state of the law with respect to Roman Catholics was most dis-
graceful. Roman Catholics were obliged to say that it was no
pat of their religion to say that they did not believe it was
lee ful to murder a man who had b:_eti exeorninuticated by the
Pepe, before accepting any office) of trust. Noble Lortis pro-
fe.shog the Roman Catholic religion, before they could take a
seat in that House, sere cenapelled to take an oath that they
did not think it lawful, if her Majesty were excommunicated,
that she could be dethroned by her subjects. The Bill, in its
present form, met with his most. hearty approval. He felt satis-
fied, that unless some understanding was come to between this
country and the Pope of Rome, tie Roman Catholic clergy in
Great Britain would never be at rest with respect to the re-
ligious powers they might possess and exercise. An arrange-
ment might ea,ily be made which vimule settle all differences..
He hoped that the Bil would pass will the altno,t unanimous
opinion of the House, and trusted that the Noble and Learned
Lord on the Woolsack would bring his other Bill before the
House.

stop there; the Vatican was too ineenioua to make any
such mistake as that. It well knew how to issue its de-
crees through the priest to the congregation, and obtained
such an influence as would very mischievously effect the minds
of the people. He, therefore, saw great difficulties which in-

power of the Pope, but threirsh the submission of the
Catholic priests to their Sovereign. the Richop of
Rome, there was no potentate in the whole wand
more powerful in spiritual matters than the Pepe.
The penalties of puernunire and reentency were absurd
penalties, and they ought not to be allowed to remain on the
statute-book. He bad only to add, that they could not altogether
dispense with the prohibitions a= to processions. He knew
how offensive these Popish processions would prove to the
people of En4land, and he co wider. d that they would excite
strong feelings among the inhabit:sun; of Birmingham and other
townie. With regard to blia he would say nothing. as he did
not think their orthodoxy could be affected by them.
The LORD CHANCELLOR intimated that there was
nothing proposed in the Bill with regard to bets. He had
great respect for the Roman Cathreaca; he had nothing to do
with their reli,fous suiterst.t.ons—be only wender-d how
they believed in them.—t Laughter.) The 'Noble aria Learned
Lord hat stated the case fur a repeal of this Act iu the clearest
manner—aa he did on every other matter—and he trusted their
Lordships would see the neees,if y of repealing the Act.
The Bishop of LONDON sad he had to address a few
words to their Lordships on the Bill before the House.
He had not gone fully into a comparison of all these statutes,
because it required rather a legal than a theological mind to
look properly into them; but, after such consideration as he
could give them, he had come to the determination not to resist
he second reading of the Bill.---( Hear, hear.) The last enes-
tion was,' whether those penalties could not he melded, for it
should be recollected that this claim of the Poae to supremacy
had never b-en formally and openly laid aside or renounced.
By that supremacy the-Pope claimed the right to exonerate her
Majesty's subjects from their allegiance. He did not expect
this doctrine would be openly promulgated, because he appre-
hended that the) person proclaiming would subject himself to
the punishments of a seditious Act. He named this, because
he conceived that it would in some degree account for the
apprehension which it had been intimated was entertained by
himself and the friends near him, and because he thought that
this 13:11 might be going further than his Noble and Learned
Friend apprehended and intended it should do. It should be
recollected what the circumstances were under which the sth
of Elizabeth was passed, and the fears which were then ascer-
tained. The Commissioners who prepared the Toleration Act,
had expressed their opinion that the clause imposing penalties
might be modified, but that it should not be altoe.ether abrogated
' If the Roman Catholic religion was tolerated at all he did not
see how they could continue these penalties He was extremely
glad that some objection had been made by a Noble Lord to
part of the Bill, but hs quite concurred that as far at least as
supremacy, it was a political question. He confessed that he

Lord CA MOYS returned his thanks to the Noble Lord for

him that these o.:ioee- peoalees 'should be repeated. He
thought, however, that the laws which 'orbade Roman Catholics ,
