such opiniong, who regarded our Church as an usnrpa..
tion, and the origin of it as a wrOng done to them. to
share in the legislation of the country ?—(Meer; hear).
With respect to the evidence taken befote the Commit-
tees of the two Houses, he was surprised that any man i
shoutd not be impressed with the striking disctepaney
between the opinion of Dr. Doyle under the examination
of the Committee, and his opinions as delibetately
exptessed ~n paper. They had been told that the opi-
nions of Dr. I)oyle in both characters were perfectly
consistent. lie was quite willing to admit that, for
nothing could serve his arguar.ent better. -The Doctor
had admitted that he was the author of the letters signed
J.K.L.anal when those who opposed this measure were
lant,ted wilt entertaining fears fit only for old women,
be begged the House 'to turn to the solemn sentiments
of this writer with refetence to the tival institutions of
the country. It was to be observed, that these were not
elicited in the watmth rf controversy, but wete set
down as tl.e settled, calm, deliberate views and conclu-
sions of the talker. In one c f his letters he •began by
admitting that he was letter acquainted than any one
else in the country 64 with the views and opinions of
those wfio exercise in li.land an extensive clominion."
• Whom were they to understand those persons to
be in whose varicils Dr. Doyle was pre-eminent;
and what was the end. and character of their domi-
nion ? He went on t' say,,speaking of the people of
',eland, that " they oblige us to swd..t andtoil for the
suppt rt of the Ministers of another religion, who have
forged cur chains—and thrpeople.are still- obliged to
offer the rnselves up to an altar which they deem pro.
fane—Kheets)— we are still obliged to build up the
s.,ires of their Church that they may stand amidst us
t to records of the tight of conquest, and the triumph
of the sword over law and virtue." Here was an ex-
ernplification of %Oat he (Mr. Secretary Peel) had de-
clared, viz. that these people could not but feet that the
Protestant Church was. an usurpat'on—(Hear).-11te
Doctor went on—., The nu st heart-rending curse that
PROVIDENCE ever permitted to fall upon the land-
owners of Ireland is the Church Establishment—
(cheert)—we are obliged to supply bread and wine,
actives and music, to this church ;',to feed the parson
and his rapacious family and followers, whilst he goes
about, not to do good, but to vilify the true church.
When he saw such language as this, indicating the ttue
feelings atid aim of the Catholic Church. he must be
excused in don heng whether this Bill was likely to
realize the declaration in the preamble, viz. "That the
Church Establishment was permanent and.inviolabk"—(Hear,hear).
The effect of this Bill would be to alter the Catholic Church as it
now stood, to the State. 'Chat being the effect of it, it behoved
them to look into the nature of that religion. The doctrines of that
Church would interfere-with the temporal conduct of its professors.
Amongst these doctrines, the doctrine of Confession was one which
affected his mind with apprehension. So long as it remained a part
of that doctrine, that a man might avow his intention to murder,
and Indicate the object selected for his victim,' and the Priest
Was not allowed to communicate the intimation, he thought
there were grounds for jealousy and , apprehension. He
must take the same exception to the practice of Atrolution and
doctrine of indulgences. Ihe effect of this upon ignorant minds
he confessed he feared. It was no great satisfaction to him that
Dr. Doyle told them that indulgences were limited---the shortest,
to a quarantine of forty days, and that the longest watnever granted,
• (or more than seven years—(Laughter). AU these doctrines he
regarded as having a direct influence and beating upon the practical
conduct of the man, arid as such wished' to see them kept from
mingling •beyond a certain sphere In the civil intercourse of life.
Dr. Doyle said. 44 We fear you have an interest in the subsersicin
of our religion, and we wish to keep you out." This was quite
natural ; but when the Protestants took a leaf out of this Catholic's
book, they were called bigots—(lleac). The securities offered had
grown gradually smaller, and become like Priori Emma—
" Fine by degrees, and beautifully less s"
1111 they had at length got below zero. With respect to the mea-
sure for raising the qualifications of the freebolders, be confessed he
bad an objection to that, inasmuch as it was touching on the rights
of tlaw poorest class. The other measure of contacts' security be
thought, if brought in, must be carried much further—they must go
on to pay all Dissenting Ministers as well as the Catholic Clergy.
He must still persist in rejecting
this measure. His objections to
it were not decreased by looking at the conduct of a Catholic Par-
liameot which had lately voted the award of death for the crime
of sacrilege—(Hear, hear). When he placed this fact beside the
Bill for restoring the Catholic Ascendancy, he confessed his oppo-
sition was strengthened, and his efforts increased towards main-
taining Protestant principles predominant in this country, as the
best security of civil and religious liberty.—(The conclusion of the
Right Hon. Gentleman's speech was followed by loud cheering,
which continued for some minutes).
Mr. BROUGHAM declared that the speech of the
Right Honourable Secretary for Foreign Affairs had so completely
answered, as it were by anticipation, the speech they had just heard,
that he should not trouble the House by carrying the question any
farther than where it then stood. He would merely state for his
own protection, and the protection of many others, that he voted
• for the old 'known measure of Catholic Emancipation,. and that
alone. As for any ulterior measures, all that be bad heard of any
such seemed to him pregnant with difficulty. The Bill for disfran-
chisement he.objected to, and that also for paying the Clergy, be-
cause it went to increase the influence of the Crown, and-to give it
an officer in every parish of Ireland. If those Bills were accessary
to the success of the great measure, he hoped his doubts would be
overcome by further discussion. With regard to that measure, be
hoped the House would wisely grant, with good grace, what in a
shod time might be extorted from them otherwise. He looked wish
pkasure at the second reading of this Bill, which be knew wail
be carried with such a tritunphant majority as would ;afford the best
hope for its success in the other House of Yarliainent.
• Mr. TRANT rose amidst the most deafening cri..s of
" Questiou," cod continued to address the House for some minutes,
but it was impossible to catch a syllable which fell from his lips.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw; and on a division the
numbers were :

House adjourned at a Qu•avastoo TAMIL °TIMM
