was the doterminatien of the Roman Catholics c.f ee----
•Ireland to accept of nothing short of unconditional
Emancipation—an equality of civil privileges with the
Protestants. Were that gtanted to them, it would be
necessary to repeal the Test Laws, for the benefit of
all Dissenters, who at present laboueed under the
same disabilities as the Caddies. He would not at-
tempt to follow the arguments of his lamented Right
Honourable Friend against the Catholic Claims,
but, admiring his firm, determined spirit in resisting
them, he should give his negative to the present
Motion. The Honourable Member, in continuation,
poineed out the danger of innovation. This principle,
he said, was sanctioned by experience and history,.
and lately by the example of France. He deprecated
the temper of the Catholics themselves, and, advert.
ing to the late Meeting in Dublin, said, that one of
the principal Speakers there had represented the mo-
tion of the Rig:it Hon. Gentleman as a mere delu
sum, calculated only to lull them asleep. He should
vote against the Motion, as he saw no necessity for
delaying a decision on the question. .
- Mr. Pe't RNELleconsidered thee there was no dan-
ger existing ; no security, therefore, Vt as necessary.
SirJ. NICHOLL had never heard what the con-
cessions were which the Catholics demanded, nor
what were the securities which they were willing to
give. As this might lead to the Catholic ascendancy
in the country, he should vote against the motion.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ex-
pressed his readiness te vote for the Motion, though
on different grounds from those propmed by the Right
Hon. Gentleman, nor dal he conceive that this vote
would pledge him to any ultimate and definite mea-
sure.
There were two measures on which it was al-
ledged Government had changed their opinion—Ca-
tholic
Emancipation, and the Orders in Council. This,
however, was 'not the case. "Our late lamented Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer bad admitted the expediency
of taking into consideration the Orders in Council,
and examining the complaints 'connected with this
: subject. In this case the danger was immediate
• and pressing, and it was under stood that, if the
result of the investigation should requite a change
'of system, it should be resorted to. The other
I case was not of the same immediate importance,
lint might be afterwards subject to future occur-
rences. Such a charee, therefore, against the
' Government was groundless. Time, however, was
' the great changer, and, with respect to this subject,
1 it had made, and WAS making great changes.— ( /leer,
i hear.)—The circumstances bad been lately consider-
' ably altered. In depai trig, however, from a pi.licy
that had been so long pursued by this country, it be-
bored them to proceed with the greatest caution.
Mr. (RATTAN gave the Government praise for i
, its change of opinion on this subject. He looked on
1 the question as a bond of concord, and in that light '
the people of Ireland ought to view it ; and as a
o meek of love simnel by the people of England to
I them, he was sure it would have considerable effect
i upon their minds. If the Minister would bring this
Isubject forward himself next year, he (Mr. Grattan)
would give way to him, and would be ready to se. 1
Icond and approve.
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that he was very
happy that he had given way to the Right Honour-
; able Gentleman, who on this occasion, as well as on
levery former discussion of the subject, had treated it
in that tone that was the most likely to reconcile all
patties, and produce the most favourable result for
I the cause he so ably advocated. It would be the bu-
siness of another Session to go more minutely into
1 this question ; at present, however, he thought it so
0 far necessary.to explaie the reason of his vote, as that
i they should come to the discussion next Session with a
i fuller knowledge of each other's opinions. It wail
now a great number of years since he had first de:
dared himself friendly to the measure, but an donee
cle then existed which made the attainment of it at 1
that time impracticable. While it existed, no agita-
tion of the subject in Parliament could have been at-
tended
with any public good. That obstacle, how-
ever, no longer existed, *nor was there at this moment i
any obstec.e that_he was aware of between the wiii- 1 .
dogs of Parliament and execution of any measure*
they should melee on. He therefore thought, the,
time for bringing the subject into discussion bed limit
arrived ; and it no other Member had brought it tar,
ward, he should have thought it his dutyto do so.
. Mr. TIERNEY said, it was necessary ter the ince I
cess of the question, that it should receive the sin:ere
and cordial support of Government ; that to folloui
it up in any other manner was likely to defeat the
object which the House had in view. He amnia
this a necessery act of the sincerity or their pre.es.
sinus, and that they mu,t either give it their support*
or, by professing to act indifferently, frustrate any
attempt at conctlietion, and kale the affairs of the
Catholics and of the Country in a worse state thrigi
they are at present.
Sir J. C. HIPPESLEY wished to see seem-kid
established tec protect the. Protestant establishment. -
Sir C. BURRELL opposed the motion, on thd
ground of the Resolutions lately passed at the Ase,
gregate Meeting in Dublin.
Mr. WHITBREAD expressed an opinion, that
his Right Hon. Friend bed exeosed the insincerity
and imbecility of the Ministers. The fact was, since
the death of Mr. Perrevel, they had given up all
their favourite measures ; the minor measures in a.
:frank manner, the major in a manner far from mag-
nanimity, and the, mode bt obtaining a victory for'

We have to congnstalata oar Readers on another
, swig important concession which Ministers have
grantei to the Nation. No such boon has been con-
&red on humanity since the abolition of the Slave
Trade. The Catholics of Great Britain and Ireland
,are speedily to be restored to their birth-rights, as
subjects of the British Empire, and the penal code
which was enacted against them in the dark ages of
our History, is about to undergo a revision, which
we may safely venture to predict will conchide with
its anal domulition—

Nothing now is wanting to enable as to contend
against the united world, if we are doomed still longer
to continue die contest single handed ; but a similar
extension of the rights of citizenship to all classes of ,
dissenters whatever. Our Councils will then be di-
rected by the united energies and wisdom of the peo-
ple ; and the wealth, respectability, and talent, which
have been so long lost to the community by religious
disqualifications, will assume the preponderance to
which in all enlightened States, they are justly en.
titled.—As to the fears entertained by many well-
meaning men, that an extension of privileges will
expose the country to the danger of any sect g tining
-an ascendancy to the prejudice of the general interests
of the community,, they are perfectly groundless.—
In fact, the only effectual way to preserve public
rights is, to give to all an equal interest in their
maintenance. 'What single sect could prevail against
all the others united ? and united they would cer•
tainly be against every aggressor.
