WEDNESDAY, M,AetcFl 23.

• A new Writ was ordered for Brackley, in the
trios of Central EGERTON, now Earl of BILIDGE-
4Tatta whtsince hiS'ele4ion lot that Borough has
I)eencal;ed,up to the House of Peers.
Sir 70.11N.ANDERSON said that an. Amend-
Jay,ing been made by the Lords in R money'
clauso in the Bali tor making a new Burying
Ground •for the Parish' of Sr. Gil( the House
could not, consistently with its forms, proceed fur.
titer with
,drat Bill :.but as this was a subjed which,
requir“l the immediate adoption of some Legisla_
Live provision, as the present Burying Ground was
so full that it was tilromt impossible to inter any
more bodies in it, he hoPekthe Hotta would 'con_
cur' iii the Motion whitsh he should now mike, for
leave to bring 'in inOtherßill:for'that puepose.
eI'ht..SPMICER said, he thought it his dory. to
al'theittteation Uf tiltlima, to this. sohied. The
HottNe would recoiled that Yesterday: it would not
take into doniiderittion the Amendments made by
the Lordsin a money clause in tile Bill in question.
An application was now made for le;ive to replace
that Bill'; the necessity of the Measure w,as :stot,ed
to, be of a very urgent nature, and it was added,
that 'if the application were refused, it might pro.
duce very great inconvenience.' Perhaps, Under.
theSe circumstances, and as it was not proposed to
adopt altogether the Amendinent of the Lords in
Ole new the Hone would think it right to
accede. to the Motion ; but he thought it his duty
to awaken the:jealf,usy of the House to these pro.
c'eetliql.i• because if they were one qay to yejea a
Bill because it contained Amendments of this nature,
afod the., next day they received'a new Bill, con-
Lainiog those very Amendments, they wnuid, in
fad, be giving up their antient, in doubted, and
established Privileges. He thought it right to-say
thus much, that the House might he aware of the
tititUrts and tendency of these proCeediogs.
RUXTONsaid, that after what had fallen
from the Chair, it would he unnecessary'fbr him to
s,ay' any thing': he hoped,' however, that thePri.,
viteges of that House would be
and that nothing of this kind would be dime in
fp.ture.

RONIAN CATHOLICS.
•
Thr MASTER of the ROLLS said, the ()hied of
the Motion ofwhich he had given notice, and which
he POW rose .to make, was merely to remedy an
inconvenience which resulted to the Roman Catho.
„lies- from the Provisions of two Ads of Parliament.
The inconvenience was simply this: That the
. Romaii Catholics were obliged; totaketWo 'separate
Oaths, whereas, oee would he completely sufficient.
There had, been, during His Majesty's Reign, two
Mis of Parliament passed in favour of the Roman
Catholics The first. was the 18th of the King,
brought in by Sir GBORGR aAvrcLe : the other,
the 31st of'the King, brought in 'by the present
Chancellor of Ireland. The objed of the former,
was to relieve the Roman Catholics from the penal-
ties and incapacities imposed by the t tth and t zth
Of William The: second Bill was to remove
the penalties, Sec. imposed- since the t ith and 2th
of William Neither' of those MI; entirely
repealed the Laws to which they referred—they
were entirely conditional -in their operation ; they
extenicd "only to such Roman Catholics as gave
assurance of their fitielity, and (Unclaimed such prin..
ciples as were inconsistent with the safety of the
State. An Oath, containing such disclaimer was
introduced loco each of the Mts. If the Oath,in
the second Ad had been precisely the same as that
containe.l in the former one, the inconveniences
which he now proposed; to reinedy would never
have arisen ; for, by taking the second Oath, the
person would have complied with the provisions of
both the Statutes ; but when the second Mt was
brouglia, in, it was thought necessary to make some
altetatitms in the. wording 'of the Oath, in fOrni,
but
.nof in ,substance. The faci, however, was;
that a Roman Catholic, to entitle himself to the
benefit.ot both the Statutes, was tinder the necessity
of raking both the Oaths. For, if he only took the
. Oath prescrile!d in the second Statute, (which was
mote, perfed: than the 'onecontained in the first Sta.
'tutu) 11,c still remained-liable to all the penalties, &c.
impti,cd by the. tvls and t zth of William 111.
/New it happened, that a great number of Catholics
had
,on!), taken the last Oath, `thinking that there
• was but one Catholic test, and iliac that ,was the
one imposed by the last Statute. They supposed
that they were'not under the necessity of taking the
first o,:th, which in substance is included in the
second one. Instances hind occurred where, when '
their titles'to estates Came to b 4 examined,'-they had
been found defeetive merely from , the in:River..
tency of not taking' the -first Oath, There
appeared to him •to be no conceivable reason
why both the oaths' shoold he retai'ned, be.
cause the State 'derived tea additional security
from-. retaining the first oath. The second oath
differed - aorta the- first, in an. omission, the
nature of which he wguld state. The first oath
contained a renunciaiion-of Allegiance to the person
aSsUlTlit,g the title of 'Charles 111. he being alive
when rh,t At passed ; but it was omitted in the
second Mt, because he, was then dead. This was
the on!v omission in the second oath, which, with
that exception and some,amall additions, was the
same as the formet one. Now, it was rather
guilt'', after a max, had taken:l4' 10:314 pericei oath,
to call upon him to take one that was less perk& A
Catlimie Nho had taken the
,last oath, could have no
objediOn to take the furmer one, and therefore, if
he did oot rake it, it could only arise from igno.
ranee, ar ieadvertence. It was therefore veiledly
useless and inconvenient• to retain it, besides, it led
to a degree ot4incongruity in the Law, which ought:
not. to:exist.: Uptio these grounds he should move
for leave, to bring in a Bill to extend to Roman Ca.
tholics the benefit of both Statutes, upon their
taking the oath contained in the first.
This being a 'Motion ,respeding Religion, it was
referred to'a committee of the' whole Huse.

The MOtiOn of the MikSTRR of the Rot,t,s wag
agreed to; and upon the' Report being brought up,
leave was given to bring in the Bill.

which.,was. „reid,and.agreed

A Message from the Lords stated that they hid
agreed to several Private Bills without any Amend.
inents.

Mr. ALEXANDER brought up a Report of the
Militia Officers' Bill.
Mr. WINDHAM said,- he had taken a very
comprehensive view of the measure now about to
be adopted by the• Bill before the House ; upon the
whole 'he did not mean to objet to it, yet he
thought it necessary to state how far he approved
;of•the Bill, and the Clause relative to the admission
of flalf..pay Officers into the Militia. It was
nothing but the exigence of the moment, that war_
. ranted the present measure : he therefore should
Make.a few, remarks on the Militia, as to its first
constitution and present establishment. As the
Militia was first constituted, it was the arnied
force of the Country, and contained those regulatiOts
which must be approved of by every man who took
the trouble to compare it with the established
, 1‘.410a of the present day. Within these few years
it had been torn to pieces by many new Laws, alit'
its members embodied into the Regular Service. Suet
measures had done much to ;destroy the importance
of this constitutional Body. Tlie Militia, for
these few years past, had been carried to a great
and an improper extent, and nothing but.the exi-
gence of the moment could justify the alteratiOn
which had taken place in the Militia of the-
Country, and which, in his mind, had reduced'
its importance,. thought it would he of advan.
tage to the Country if-the Regular Army assimilat-
ed with the Militia, and that those who came into
the Service, should enlist for the term of six years.
The Hon. Gentleman then repeated many of the ob-
servations on the Army, he had made on a former,
occasion. It was a doetrine laid down the other
day, that no opposition should be given to this Bill,
unless Gentlemen who opposed it, should suggest
some plan that would answer the purpose of the
Country better than what the present Bill had offer-
ed ; but he did not think this doetrine good, as a
man may be able .to discover defels in a Pidure,
without being an Artist, or be able to judge of a
Poem, without being a Poet ; and therefore he,
thought the opposition any Gentleman might be in-
&titled to give to the Bill, was not improper. The
Militia, as it was now constituted, went a great
Way to destroy the regulai Army, for it wits tt
known fact,' that:the Militia Officers were now
giving, nine Guineas per Man, consequently they
could not ;appose that men would enter into
the Regular Service. He said, he • would ac.
knowledge with eaiidour, that- he had conversed
! with 'many Military -Men, soma of whom were
advocates' for the Augmentationiof the. Militia,
others, indeed, did nut 'support the principle:—
He could not but again Objed to the Militia as it
was now established ; for every Gentleman in the
House must own.. it was not like the Militia that
was originally' constituted. It has long appeared
like the Regular Service, without its perfektions.
The.Hon.Gentlemao then said, there ought. to be
' no distinction between the Gentlemen. qualified for
the Militia, and those unqualified Officers whose
charader and talents should be approved
.of by the
Lord Lieutenant. The Army abounds with Gen.
tlenten 'of the highest honour and talents, and,
therefore, the want of property should 'not render
their situatioo and duty unpleasant to them ; but,
at the same time, every care ought to be taken to
prevent improper persons from being admitted to
join the Militia.
The SEC RETARY at WAR said, he did not think
,
it necessary to follow the Hon. Gentleman through
all his remarks, but•he must'repeat the obserVation
he had before made on the clause alluded to by the
Hon. Gentleman. If this was, a moment of exi-
gency, a strong and well constituted Militia was ne.
cessary, as the Hon. Gentleman had allowed, He was-
sure the clause in question would not be considered as
improper,as the vacancies might not be filled With qua.
I ified men in time, therefore it was riecessary the Lord
Lieutenant should have a power, which this clause
grants, to him, to complete the numbers as early as .
possible. The, inalteration which the Honourable
entleman wished in the Militia Law, so as to-ena-
ble the Militia to enlist men for the term of six
years, could not be carried- into execution on ac-
count of .Colonial Service. There was a •material
'difference betweenitbe arrangements of our Military
Force, and that on the Continent, therefore the
principle the Honourable Gentleman had suggested
could not he carried into efred. He said it was
his intention to moie a proviso to the clause; that
if the Lord Lieutenant could not fill the vacancies
with gliftlified men within two months, that heft/
pay Officers should not be advanced to a higher
rank in the Militia than a Captaitn this, he said,
would satisfy the Gentlemen who had opposed the
clause in question.
Lord STAttt.rr said a few words.
• Mr. KINNAIRD requested to know wbcther the
Bill had force in Scotland.

The SEC RET ARY at WAR said, it did not
extend to Scotland. He then moved, that the
proviso he had just repeated, be added to the Bill
which was immediately agreed to by, the House, and
the Bill' was ordered to be read a third time us-
morroi—The House adjourned at six o'clock,
