CATHOLIC CLAIMS.

..11r. GRATTAN said, his Right Hon. Friend Inul
argued so ably the question of emancipation; in;
the speech which he had just made on presentint:
the Petition from the Roman Catholics of Env,
land, which had done him and his country sa
much honour, that he had really left him (Mr.
Grattan) very little to say on the subject. Oaj
various occasions he had had to present the Peet
titions of the Catholics ; and his thanks were-duel,.
to the House for the extract dinary kindness IOW',
they evinced towards him, in condescending fel
listen to a repetition of the same arguments which
he' had so often urged before. The Catholics of
Ireland he stated to he willing to concur, not itt .
form, but in act, with 'any measure that might be
thought necessary to secure the present Church
Establishment, and the Protestant Succession'ta
the Throne, that was not incompatible with the
principles of their religion. In proof of this, he
read part of the Petition lately presented, and di-
rected the Clirk to read the names of some of the
Nobility and Gentry who had signed it ; wool
which ‘vere those of Lords Shrewsbury, nig"'
Kenmare, and French. The Petition was signed
by above 900 pertons. He contended the deck"
ration contained in the Petition, thus subscribed.
was that which had been formerly demanded
as a preliminary to Catholic Emancipation. One
great objection therefore 'he held to be remov.
ed, since the terms had now been complia
with, which those who formerly opposed this (flea"
sure had dictated to the Catholics. He had an'
other document to refer to, an authentic
letter
from Cardinal—, Written by command of his Ho-
liuess the'Pope, on the subject of the Veto. This
paper_ set forth three oaths, very nearly the state
as those oaths which the Catholics :were now re.

there was some prospect of coining to an accom-
modation. The letter went on to this effect—that
in the opinion of the writer any one of these ()Ohs
would he more than sufficient to satisfy the Go'
vernmeat of • Great •Britain, yet that his Hanes°
would moreover permit a list of candidates for the'
vacant Bishoprick to be shewn to the King's GO'
vernment, and allow them to point out the names
of any candidates of whom they might disapprove,
and that they wouldsbe expunged front the list ;
that if the Penal Lel:8 were repealed his Holiness
would also send a brief to the Catholic Bishops of
Great 1,31 Rain, in which be would publish to.the
universe his sense of gratitude for the generositY
and liberality of the great British Government,
exhorting them to loyalty, and to conform to. the
regulations which the safety of the State might
render necessary: The Right Honourable Geo.
tleman then pursued the subject. It had bee's
often with justice said to him on former occasions,
when he had brought this subject before the
House, that be bad come to ask for concession;►

Church—for the security of the Protestant sue'

to arrive at *hat might be satisfactory to all
parties, Bud on this great question he had the
satisfaction of knowing the sentiments of the
Pope. His Holiness had said, that be had done

now., (hey would not merely refuse Catholic
Emancipation, but refuse their own terms 00

against any concession to the Catholics ? Had tit*

to refuse to accede to these claims ? He.beggea
that the Petitions presented to the House this

.then, it was reasonable to presume that there 'was
an acquiescence. He did nut meats by,this to es;
sort that all the people in the kingdoth wishe"
that the claims of the Catholics-should he ac"
ceded to ; but at least this mtreli was evident, that
the spirit of hoitility against them was -much sob'
clued. Those Petition's' which bad formerly been
presented to the.Hotife against them, did not c%.
press their opposition absolutely but conditionally,
requiring that there might be no Catholic emao
ciliation unless there were Protestant security. It

there might even be who objected to the proposed
mode of nominating their Bishops. , But what
was the tact as to the great and respectable boae
of the Catholics ? In 1793 they signed Well
Resolutions stating that the Veto was consistent
with the principles of their religion. .But let (b..
'Home only consider this question. It Was
possible that the Veto could be inconsistent lit"
the Catholic religion. Neither Synod not Agra:
gate were to legislate, bat that House, and the 7
were to legislate not only on principles of pettica'
ear good, but also on principles of general seer'
rity. This was all that they had to do. He :nig':

most unnecessary. He might sheer what :It

for the dissatisfaction in that country. The evil #•
was not there ; the evil was in the law. That
Officer did what the law itnposed upon him. The-
evil was in the House, 'The law set one class of
people above another ; the law therefore was no-
This was the master-evil. ,•When the
United lrislope6 got no this was the cause, or
. this was the pretext ; it was.a fixed evil Which did
tot enable them to bear the common occurrences
of life, and'which it' not removed would end mor-
tally.. The source of the evil was to be traced,
by observing its.qualities. The tendency of all
the libels that were published on this subject was.
to break the link of marriage with England, and
to form new ties with foreign powers. This was
he.effect of the Penal Code—with it all these
evils were.inemporated. Another complaint was
the defect in t'e Union—it had not been carried
.into execution. Certainly there was no identifi-
cation. This ought to he of two kinds--iden-
tification of law and • identification of privi-
leges. The Irish felt that it Was their interest
-to protect the privilegett of • the English, be-
cause if .they fell, their -own must fall too.
Therefore the interest of England was, that
Ireland should be so identified as to be, est a part
of England, The penal laws amounted in fact to
religious proscription—mitigated it must, be al-
lowed—but still it was a religious- proscription.
So long as this remained the people of Ireland
-would be a cause of fear th the English Governs.
ruent, Indeed it came to this, that a Military
Government was necessary in that dountry. The
301tlierS employed in Ireland might be, well affect-
ed to the country, but when it was necessary to
keep up such a mass of military force as would
overpower the people, then they owed their liber-
ty, not to the law, but to the mercy of the army.
Icy would allow the army every-merit—he could
appreciabe their victories and their good conduct,
but sa long as they were so employed instich nutw-
'burs. the title to liberty was changed, and was
no loneer to he found in the law of the land.-
When the military force was mentioned, it war
. to be recollected the; it was necessary to pay
them. Why were they paid Why was this
expence incurred It was to prevent those
from- subverting the State
.who would not sub-
vert it if" they could. The real fear entertain-
's' was, that the Catholics of Ireland would
league with •Priests to overturn the Protestant
soccession. But the thror.e. of England was so.
frm, that nothing. but thunder-could shake it !---
Yront the nature of our 'national position—from
the great conquests which we had made, they
must be kept by a military force. It to this
necessity (which was the punishment of national
greatness). was added th 4 system of proscription—
. that system which male aliens of those who ought
to he brothers, we deprived ourselves of every re-
medy which could be suggested to relieve ns iu
such a state. There was no necessity to search
long its coder to discover what the remedy ought
to be. For insiance, there was one to be obtain-
ed by communicAing privileges to fellow-subjects.
the po,,er of the Pope was feared ; anti the
'Veto was to be refused as a remedy against it
On the whole he objected to minute inquiries into
the criminal code, as to its origin or its exercise,
which brought on rectimination.. It was enough
to know that in 1782 Bilgland 'gave up part of
Ler political power of leg,islatitig for Ireland ; it
'as enough that there had been subsequent con-
, cessions to the pepple of Ireland. The motion
which he would, now submit to the .House was
!t•Thilt this House will early in the next Session take into
its most serious consideration the state of the laws affecting.
the Catholics of Great Britain and Ireland, with the view of
such a final and conciliatory adj_ustment as would conduce to
the peace and strength of the Empire, to the stability of the
Protestant succession, and to the general satisfaction awl
concord of all classes of his Majesty's subjects."

This, he said, was the same motion as had been
made some years ago by a Right Hon. Gent. not
now present (Mr. Canning). It appeared to him
such: a motion as Was 'most desirable at this time,
as it would (if he might be allowed to use the ex-
iression) enable the question to be put on its legs.
t would enable them to tell the petitioners—the
moderate and constitutional petitioners---that Par-
liament so far respected their (lemon& that it
would not send them away with a refusal, but
would take their griefs into consideration—that
they respected their prejudices,7aud would try to
attain concord.
Sir H. PARNELL rose to second the motion; and
would take the opportunityot saying a few words
upon , the subject. As to the Ecclesiastical part.
of the question, he would 'not now touch trpola
-Since it would be more immediately under the
cow:aeration of ' the House when the motion of
his Honoutable Friend, (Sir J. C. Hippisley) came
tinder discussiou. It would be better fur the
Douse now; to confine itself to the general prin.
ciple of concession. The truth of the case, with
wpect to the operation of the Penal Code, seemed
e him to be never sufficiently attended to.- The
night Horrourabie Secretary for Ireland, in the
recent debate on the state of that parrot the em-
pire, seemed almost entirely to have overlooked
it. By refer; ing back to the origin of these laws,
it . was much more easy to account for the effect
which they produced upon the people of Ireland,
by keeping theta in a state of continued poverty
and oppression The consequence was the necessary
maintenance of an immense military force in Ire-
land. This was what came fram actimon the Pro-
testant ascendancy principle. In lieu of the vain and
fallaciims measure of maintaining an °vet powering
military force; the rational plan was to accede to
the prayer of the petitioners. 'As to secret asso-
ciatjons, it had already been strewn to what a
dreadful extent they existed in Irelqudiand,it was
Trite evident that unless conciliatory measures
were adopted they would go increasing, till at
last they would burst with a dreadful explosion.
There could be no objection to the Measure now
proposed, from the state of public fading. Not a
single petition was now vu the table against the
measere. He theretore hoped that the Noble
Lordpipposite, who bad formerlyspoken in favour
of the measure, but who objected to,pressing it
on the House smite time ago, 011 SLICIHUIt, of the
State of public feeling on the question, would be
+cc:evinced that the present was a most-favourable

now assumed a new chatactcr. On the specdy
and final settlement of this qtrestiOn depended the
happiness of Ireland, and the stability of tile
empire.. He had already repeatedLy 'stated his-
opinion that no securities should be required from
the Catholics of Ireland. As to the present state
of Ireland he could speak very positively., as he
had just come trom that country, and be could
inform the House that where conciliatory Inca-
'sures hail 'been adopted, the country was as quiet
as Middlesex or Surrey.—(A laugh.)—He was
now enabled to inform the !louse that fivii
lions:Of Irish Catholics were ready to grant, se.,
curities and to go hand in hand with their Clergy
in: agieeing to what was cilled the tioinebtic no-
mination of Bishops. Where now then exist-
ed the objection to emancipation ?, The con-
ditions which bad been required by:Govern-
ment as to the nomination of Bishops, were now
ready to be granted. He was enabled to state to
the House, that the Pope was -ready to stretch
every nerve as to conceS•ion on this subject. He
had made it his busineSs to go to Rome to ascer-
tain the sentiments of the Pope by a private con-
ference.—(A laugh.)---He was sure that the Noble
Lord, whose opinion on this subject differed from
those of his .intoleraut and bigoted csilleagues—
(a laugh)—kneW that this ,was true. tVhence
then did the opposition -spring From the into-
lerant; bigoted, and worthless colleagues in the
,cabinet of the Noble Lord, an who would not
listen to the opinions of .that Noblp Lord.--(A
• laugh.);---These ignorant Ministers knew no More
of the state of Ireland, than a man who sweeps
the streets knows of North America.—(Lood
laughter )—Although he still thought no securi-
ties ought to be required' from. the Catholics, yet
as they themselves had offered them, be of course
• agreed to it, and would vote for the motion, and
called upon the House to fulfil their duty by agree-
ing to it,

SirJOt3:yl Co* HIPPaSLEY wished to say a few
words on this occasion. He thought there was
little chance of conciliating the great part of the
people of Ireland by insisting on securities, unless
an , inquiry was set on toot, the result of winch
should be clearly to spew the expediency of it on
religious principles.
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that the question
which the Right lion. Gentleman (Nlr. Grattan)
had brought forward, had been so often discuss-
ed, that he did trot feel himself called upon to
state at any length the grounds upon which it had
his concurrence.7---(Hear, hear !)—Ele had al-
ways given it as his opiriiim, that this- subject
would ultimately he consideied in a favourable
point of view both by Parliament and the com-
inanity at-large. He had never heen able to per-
himsclt that there was any real danger to
the Constitution—that there was any real danger
to the liberties of this country, to be apprehend-
ed from the British Parliament acting towards
the Catholics upon a principle of inclusion Instead
of a priociple of exclusion. Whatever grounds
might have heretofore existed, for entertain-
ing a doubt of the proPriety'of acting upOn a prin-
ciple of inclusion towards our Catholic bre.
them, those grounds were now at an end. The
state of Europe was
.more congenial to the liber-
ties of mankiod. The head of the Catholic Church
was no longer a prisoner, and subject to the will
and contioni of a power which threatened the li-
,berties of Mankind. That ,power was no longer
in existence, and the state of the world had re-
turned to its ordinary situation. We had no
longer to apprehend that the balance of power was
likely to preponderate in such a way as to give just
reasowto suppose that an improper influence would
be used to produce, in the bosom of our country,
a feeling of hostility and, discontent--and hence a
ground crusted for complying with the prayers of
the Petitioners, which, unhappily, could not be
traced at former periods, when this discus3loa
was brought forward. The Noble, Lord next ad
verted to the effect which had been produced upon
the Protettant mind bY the intemperate language
of those who had taken upon themselves to act as
-the organs of the Catholic body. He was happy
to remark, that the voice of reasira, truth, and
I:wisdom had at length prevailed, and that the Pe-
titioners bad come to Parliament in a way which
was calculated to disarm opposition, The Noble
Lord then alluded to the liberal, feelings which per-
vaded the Courts of Europe npan subjects of reli-
gion at the-present moment as compared with for-
mer periods, and remarked,that in the negociations
which had recently taken place, religious contro-
versy formed but a trifling goestion the scale ofdis-
emission ; whereas on similar occasions formerly this
subject produced the greatest sources of difficulty.
The settlement of the Catholic question-he consi-
dered essential to the internal happiness of the
State, lie saw no impediment in the attainment
of this object ; and so far was he froui consider-
ing that any danger would arise from admitting
the Catholfes to a participation in the benefits and
advantages of our Constitution, that he thought
bad) a measure would be productive of the hap.
piest effects. He' thought that .the amount of
power which the Catholics asked was not worth
contending , for; and that the denial of it would
arm the mischievous Catholic, who wished to dis-
turb the peace of the country, witli a subject
adapted to his purposes..--if-For these reasons he
should support the motion of the Eight Honour-
able Gentleman.

'Mr. Perm felt some pain at differing from his
Noble Friend, with whom he was accustomed, to
vote, yet he was afraid that silence on his part
might be taken for acquiescence in the motion.—
He had opposed the Catholic question on former
occasions, and be thought that not only the ob-
jections which he had urged, but many others
which did not then apply, were fully applicable
now. He contended Unit the House had fairly
made the experiment to effect the object which
the Catholics had in view, and he appealed to the
result produced by that experiment on the Ca,
tholics of Ireland. Hail it been received with
any mark of approbatitin on their part At all
times he had an objection to pledge the Hopse to
entertain any question, and he thought that
it was not desiTable to give a pledge for the
next Session 'at the present aionient.—(Hear,
hear, hear 1)—It had been admitted that par-
ticular circumstances, Stich t as ,the conduct of
the Catholics themselves, or the state of Ea-
might preclude the propriety of taking the
removal of religigus disabilities lute orisideration.

'The ai,ht clen:leatan himself did not now.
move for leave to bring in a. Bill to 'effect that
poepose. Might it not be inferred that he thought
the preseot time unfit for eotertaining the slues.,
lion ? Then why should' he think that the next
Session would prove a Moretfavourable period
If it' did what should then prevent him front brings
in;; on the question.without any preparation like
the pre\ient ?' Anil if it .did not, ti mild not that
very circumstance render the pledge embarass-
ing to the House ?, He then corrected borne
misiuterpretation Which had been made, espe...
cially by a gallant General, of what bad fallen
from him .during a former dehate on the state
of Ireland. He had never said that the dis-
orders now existing in that country were, to be
implied to souse incurable (platy in the aieople.
lie had, only said that he did 'lot attribute them
either directly or indirectly to the, political dis-
abilities of the Catholics. They proceeded chiefly
from the system of had pulley formerly adopted,
and from unwise commercial restrictions. He
saw great depravity breaking out into open out-
rages in many parts at:lreland, hut not in
.those
where the disabilities' of the Catholics' might have
been expected to create some portion of jealousy.
lie saw dissatisfaction at the high price,of land,
and a wish to reduce it ; but these bad nothing
to do with Catholic Emancipation. If the out.
rages were directed againit Proteitanti
then it might be believed find they proceeded
from politici.l disabilities ; but there was ail
imliartial commission of offences against all,
which spewed that that could nut be the case.
It iad been admitted that in the year 1793
most considerable privileges, and franchises had
been granted to the lower classes of Irish Ca-
tholic*, and yet since that period Cad not the in►
ternal state of Ireland been more disturbed than
before ? Even the measure proposed by the Right
Hon. tientletnan did not go the leng!h- of placing
the Catholics on a. footing of entire equality with
their Protestant brethren. Some of the claret of-
fices of the Sate would be closed to them. Their
demagogues would still.make.them consider those
exceptions as badges of what they %valid term their
former servitude, amt they would renew their ap-
plications to be relieved from there with as much
violence as they had dons with respect•:to their
present polaicai disabilities. If be:were sitiatied
that the effect of the removal of the disabilities of
-the Catholics of Ireland would be to introduce
order into that, country, no visionary dangers or
attachment to consistency would , prevent him
from supporting the motion. Lim believing that
behind this ten thousand topics of grievances lay
dprmant, that if he followed the Right Hop.
'Gentleman to the eminence to which he invited
him, a new horizon would stilt open 'to his view,
be could not consent to give a pledge to entertain
a question, from the considetation of which be
anticipated so few good effects.: , •

oNsoNBy remarked, tl►at four-fifths of the
Right Hon. Cieutleman's speech lia l been ad.
dressed, not to the prudence or imprudence of the
pledge, but to the itupolicy of the question itself.
He contended that it was the mode in which the
concessions of 1793 had been made that had con-
tributed to render them productive of disorder
rather than of peace. The question had 'always
been taken up as the necessity of the moment
pressed the Administration of the day, atut
managed in such a way as to get rid of the
diffi-
culty of the time, but never regarded, as tine of
general policy he thought that the removal of
the disabilities of the Catholics would have a great
effect in allaying the discontents of Ireland, and
that nothing else would he effective.. The pre-
sent state of mind of the Catholics, conscious of
all the restrimi ►ns under which they laboured,
must naturally' render theni more pliable instil..
merits in the hands of their demagogues to disturb
. the peace. It had been repeatedly desired ti►atthe
Catholics should spew a disposition to. concede
what securities their fellow Protestant. suhjects•
might think necessary. They hid now complied
with that desire, and were they to be treated with
as much cunteiuyt us when they were represented
as a resisting and factious set of men ? He wi►s
glad they pursued a line or enquct likely to
conciliate their Protestant brethren. As to him-
self, however, he looked upon .securities as so
many cobwebs, wad was of opinion that the etuan-
ciliation of the C and their being plated
on- it footing of equality with the Piotestants,
would be tlre best and the 'Only real security.
Sir G. HILL opposed the motion.
Sir N. CoLrueasTr was understood to support
it, when load cries of question arose, and the
Nouse divided.--.
