THE CENSUS.

The NOBLE LORD gave notice that on Thursday he

PAPAL AGGRESSION.

' Earl FITZWILLIAM, in presenting a petition from
certain Roman Catholic inhabitants of the city of York,
against any measure fur kflicting pains and penalties
upon the persons professing the Catholic religion, said
that he was not aware that any such measure had been
proposed to Parliament. He was aware that a measure
bad been introduced into the other House of Parliament
to prevent persons usurping territorial titles conferred
upon them by a foreign power, and he approved of that
measure. He desired to preserve in this country that
pure religion which we had enjoyed for three
hundred years, and therefore he desired that
their Lordships should legislate on this subject.
He entirely approved of the object of the Bill. He found
that in the other House 400 Members had voted in favour
et it as it originally was introduced, and therefore. he
supposed that the great majority of the ',louse were in
favour of making it effctual. lie had, therefore, learned
with astonishment that the Government had determined
to abandon those portions of the Bill which would alone
make it cffcctual. If the Bill passed without the means
of inelsing it effective, they would pass a law which
would involve the Legislature in disgrace and
in ridieu'e—(Hear)—and was to be lamented
that Parliament and the Execudve Government,
should have thus disappointed the hopes of the
nation. He felt it his Outy to make these obseevatione,
and to ask if it were true that those who had the con-
duct of this measure in the other House had de-
termined so to frame, it as to make if ineffective.
If the Bill had never been introduced, it might have been
said it was a subject not fitted for legislation, but having
introduced that Bill they admitted that it was a subj-
ject for legislation, and having made this admis-
sion they made the legislation ineffectual. If the
Ministers thought they would have done their duty, or
have satisfied the country by such a measure they would
find that they had grievously disappointed the hopes
and expectations of the country.—(Hear, hear.)
He desired to preserve this country as a
Protestant country, and that no justifiable means
should be left untried to preserve it as such. The hard-
ship was not upon the Roman Catholics, but upon the
Protestants of this country, that they should be com-
pelled to submit to this aggression. A gross insult had
been committed, and he should propose that it should not
be lawful for any subject of her Majesty to assume any
title, civil or religious, without permission of her Ma-
jesty, and then it would be lawful for her Majesty to
permit the assumption of such titles when it might
seem fit, and to prohibit others from so assuming an
usurped title. He warned her Majesty's Ministers
against trifling with this important question. It was a
question in which he felt deeply, because he was desirous
of preserving that religion which he believed to be the
truth, and he called upon Parliament and the Ministers
not to be treacherous to themselves, if they valued their
own reputation and the religion of their country.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in answer to the
question put by his Noble Friend, would state that cer-
tain alterations were intended to be made in the Bill
introduced in the other House of Parliament; but this
House could not entertain the question until the Bill
should have reached their Lordships' House. He him-
self did not think those alterations affected the princi-
ple of the Bill.
Earl FITZWILLIAM said the alterations did not
they only made it totally
af-
fectineff etehteivper.inciple of the ;
Their Lordships then adjourned.

into consideration with a view to their amendment.

so long as they were excluded from voting in the election
of Members of the Legislature they gave no consent to
the burdens imposed upon the people, and were unjustly
taxed by the Government.—(Hear.)
