PRO'EEST.
op Yes sicrrlge OE LORD GRENVILLE irned NEGATIVED FOR
Tgg SOUSE TO RESOLVE ITSELF INTO A COMMITTEE TO TARE
igy CATHOLIC PE nTiox INTO CONSIDERATION.
Ist, Because we are fully satisfied that the removal of the un-
.„,eind and degrading exclusions to which a most numerous and
;alubie part of the community have been so long subjected, and
ty imparting to the whole people of this United Kingdom all
..ye privileges and duties of the British Constitution, would be a
.enore of unquestionable justice and wisdom.
"id, Because we conceive that thi; determination would in it-
of afford the best security for our civil and religious constitution,
iebt the proposal of considering the subject in a Committee of
House gave an opportunity of establishing, by the
eanm arid authority of Parliament, and with the cordial con-
e-mew of all parties, such safeguards as must tranquillize the
ernensines of the most fearful, and allay the „jealousies of the
Bost suspicious.
sd, Because, although the increased support and diminished
nonce which this proposal has now experienced in both
Boon of Parliament, as well as the manner in which it has been
binged on the part of its opponents, encourages us to look with
enact confid,nce to its approaching ar.d entire accomplishment.
vette are of opinion, that by delay many of its happiest effects
„endangered, and we are confident that there never was, in the
way 0( the world a moment in which a measure, in itself desi-
seas mere imperiously called for by circumstances of imme-
a.nd uncontreulable necessity.
The uniting by mutual liberality, kindness, and confidence, the
eriett ard hearts of all his Majesty's subjects in defence of the
inviable blessings of security, liberty, and national indepen-
Lenee,i3, at this perilous crisis, the first duty that we owe to our-
selves and to our posterity ; and it is the only mode by which we
can rasorably hope, under the protection of PRovinetver, to
maintain these blessings amidst the misery and subjection of so
gay surrounding nations.

ViT.en:ient,
lltcatl;e the means of yielding to, or resisting, in the whole, or
!Apart, the prayer of the petition, so respectfully submitted to the
tomideration of the House, depended upon principles so momen.
tom, ard details so clraplilated as, according to the ancient prac-
tice of Parliament, should have been referred to the more delibe-
rate consideration of a Committee. And because the petition
luring proceeded spontaneously from the Catholics of Ireland,
imported by large bodies of their Protestant brethren, and sane-
; aonedby that liberal and indulgent policy regarding them, which
lus so remarkably cnaraeterised his Majesty's reign, it was most
esmitilly entitled to our favourable consideration. (Signed)
