the Inkjet% at
was well founded, and of this the Right Honourable
Gentleman had full time to have fatisfied hintfelf, in
the period which had elapfed fince the grant of laft
year. Encouraged by that grant to rely that the reft
would follow, the truftees had formed contrafts,
which they were bound to fulfil The Houfe had
faithfully maintained its promifes to all the giants,
and private Bills, in courfe, previous to the diffolu-
tion. The incrtafing population. of Ireland, and the
abolition of all foreign college where the frith Ca-
tholic Priefthood ofed 'to derive their education,
proved the policy of thai-putpufed extenfion, and he
trufted.the Houk wools:l.NA make. this the folitary
inflame of withholding its fanaion to the .eflimates
of the lall Parliament, and more efpecially at fuch a
crifis as the prcfent awful ntoment prefenttd.
Mr. HAVs'ICINSEROWNE thought hit Right
Honourable Friend (Mr. Futter) had tided on this
occafinn, •with great liberality and moderation. He
Paid, if At bad been a Member of the Irith Parlia-
ment, he never ,would have given his affent
filch an anomaly as a college ittalntaioett *OAS
the realm, at the expence of the State, to educete a
Clergy for the purport of Propagating a religiop c.A-
trary and hotlile webs State itreif—a religion which
every Member of that Houle was bound to abjure,
before he could take his reat—a religion of impel-Ili-
tions, intjlerant and perfecuting principles, and
which, as all hittory could thew, however friendly he
was to toleration •and liberty of conlcience, he was
lorry to find•fa ioveterately rooted amongtt fo great
a portion_ of. Elie people of Ireland, and now cherilled
by the fanEtion of law. He lamented extremely there
were fo many Roman Catholics in Ireland, and
would have no ajeetion to agree to the ellablithment
of parith Ichools for their education, in common with
Proteflants, nor like the Protellant Charter Schools,
to procure prulelytes where they might be inttroded
in the fundamental principles of Chritlianity, in
which all fe&s 'agree. But if the trill' Catholics
wifhed to educate their Clergy, let them do it like the
Protetlant Dilfenters, at their own toll, inflead of
loading the Proteflants of Ireland with taxes for the
purisofe of fupporting a college on their account.
Mr. WINDHAM did not expeft that filch a dif-
cuffion would have arifen on this lubjeet at this mo
ment ; but fine it was part of a fettled plan of the
prelim Government, and the Hon. Gentleman had
taken the lead, ke fhould hold it right to follow the
(tip of the line, and get into deep water. The Hon.
Gentleman had expreflect his afionithment at the
exilience of Inch an anomaly as a Catholic College,
for the education of a Catholic Prieflhooel, maintain.

ed brOovernment in the midi' of Ireland, a Protef.
Cant State. The bell anfwer to this was, that the cafe
of Ireland Het( was an anomaly, where three fourths
of the people 'continued Catholics, notwithftanding
all the
.legal cruekies, pt ofct iptions, and privations,
m for fo any, years to grind them into Proteliants.7-:
'Wei it beeaufe they refuted to become proferytes io
Proteflantilm, c ,ntrary to the conviftion of their
pookienees,,that they were to have no religion at ail?
If they wan tri continue Catholics, was it not better
for the State that they fhotalcl he good, enlightened,
and loyal Catholics, than be left to ignorance, barba-
Tulin, or alifaffeCtion, under the tuition of Priefls edu-
cated in a hottile country, of whole principles, or
whole fitnefs to inflruFt the Icing's ftibjefts, Govern-
ment knew nothing ? Was it not better the Ira Ca
tholic Ptiefthood thould be men educated under the
very eye of Government, and be of kncwn charther,
;attached to their native land, than. men who imbibed
their education. and their political principle; under
the aufpices of an enemy. But, notwithftanding, :ill
that the Hon. Gentleman had laid of the grofs foper-
ftition and barbarifm of the Irith Catholics, he con-
ceived it was no more than the guars religion of a
grofs daft of people, and not one whit more fo than
that of a very great portion of the Proteftants of Eng-
land ; and he begged leave to fay, that, for every
thing he could hear of experience,the enlightened
and educated Catholics of this country -and of Ire-
land were not inferior in principles, in virtue, or ta-
lents to anv other defcriction of men any where.
Mr. PARNELL conceived that the Catholic Re-,
ligion w.!ti much milimderttood in this country. He
held in his hand a Catholic Prayer Book, which was
in common ufe among the People of Ireland, and
inculcated doEtrines diametrically *oppoflte to thole
that had been afcrtbed to them. To prove this he
read feveral paffages, retrouncing the dottrirte of
depofing Kings, and of abfolving from oaths, Ste."
Mr. WINDHAM laid, the firnilatity between the
principles of tlt.e two Churches was (lien. We kept
as near the Catholics as could well be foppored. They
had every principle which we had—we happily did
pot profers every dnitrine which they did.
Mr. W. SMITH afked which was the fyftem moll
advantageous to the country—To have men, to be
afterwards entrufled oith the religious principles of
the people, educated at a public feminary wider the
care of Government, or educated abroad tinder the
care of we knew not whom ? It was net the blt•
fines of the Government that they fhould he good
chriflians in every tenet. but that they (hould be
good fubjetts. We *irk:placed in this dilemma,
either to believe or Milli, believe, the profeffions
of the Catholics, as given in their own prayer bn"k.
There being publiihed by authority, he eileemed him-
' Pelf hound to believe fineere.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEVER
protefted againd the entertaining of any loch belief
as that he wifhed to withhold inflrodion from the
Roman Catholics of Ireland. All he wither; to do
was, to proteft them againfl the increafed and in-
' Creating influence of the priellhood. He corrfeffed
he had oppofed the extenfion of this grant during
I.the lag Parliament, but Ito now thought it better,
as he believed he was the only perfon in hisMajelly's
Government who had ferioufly oppofed it, to accede
to the propofition of hii Hon Ft lend, left his oppo.
tition fhould appear 'the effect of fpleen, in endea-
vouring to make this the only exception from the
acceding to the grants of the lift Parliament. He

Country ? Only too Proteltant
sited there annually, yet it was pro-
. number of Catholic Priens to four
notes that number. Mg Hon. Member for Norwich,
had talked as if there Prielle had been under the-care
of Government. This was aisiftake. All that Go-
vernment had to do in the matter was, to bear the
expence of the eftablifhment. He 'Omitted, thatif
this eflabliihrnent was to be encreafed. the lealt thing
which could be done was. to give Govern:mot tome
fay in the inflitution ; that they might know the-Man-
ner in which the (Ladies were condufted ; hare the
nomination of the Proftffers; or, at leen, in Com!
fhape or other, know that they were nor educating a
fociety of jefuits, who would not be (offered to exift
in any other part of Europe. We ought to know,
that the foreigners who might be employed in this
Seminary were not in aftual hoftility to us, and that
they were not likely to inftil princidles inimical to us, 1
into the minds of thofe whom they were called on tq
isiarna. ,tie, on the whole, could not help thinking
Amin ;tweeting the eaablifhment in queaion, we
were not only rowing the feeds of continuance for the
V..atholiereligion in Ireland, but, in Lift, were doing
witai we cotdd to root the Prineftant riligion out of
that country. The Students of the Protetlant Church,
as he had already faid, only amounted to too yearly;
thee educated by this Eteemofinary Inflitutioti to.
the Catholic perfnafinn already amounted to 200,
and it was propofed to double them, or to make
them amount to four times the number of the Protef:
rant Students, thereby giving the Catholic religion a
four fold advantage over the Protellant.
Lord H. PETTY laid, if there be allowed a Ro
man Catholic eflablifhment in Ireland, they mutt have-
an education ; and the qtrefli.in was, whether that
edneaticm fhould be, in Ireland, or gut of it ?—or
whether they timid have any education at all ? If
not educated in Ireland, the prielts would go abroad
for education, where they would meet with tenets
more dangerous to our Conflitution. The Houle
would recolleCt a ptieflhood mutt exift in Ireland,
and that it would be Ilea under the encourage.
ment and obfervation of Government, than under
any other. The Right Honourable Gentleman talked ,
as if they were flat tip from the knowledge of Go-
vernment ; but Cutely he knew there were five rift.
tors appointed by Aft of Parliament, one of whom
was the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, who were to
make a vifitation once in three years, or it any time
on the reqnifition of the Lord Lieutenant ; and, if
they did that duty, could it be fuppofed the elliblith.
ment was not under the conti out of Government ?
The arguments of the Right Hon. Gentleman. that
there were only lc° teacher: rf the Proteltant Re
ligion in the Univerfl.y n` Dublin, while there were
zoo Roman Catholi.- pt:efts in Maynooth College,
went to nothing but to firike a balance of ignorance;
for, if there were not enough to teach the Proteflants,
it was no reafon these Arnold not be enough to teach
the Roman Catholics ; they fhould rather enlarge
the Proteltant teachers than reltrain or diminith
others, and let the education be 'open and manly, and
not deadening and retynctinuy, as it had formerly
been. If the Right Hon:Gentleman had wanted
information, he ought to have called for it, by a
motion, lan Seflion, when he oppofed this meafure.
Mr. LESLIE POSTER approved of the pica,
being educated in Ireland, but would not go beyond
the original number, which was eftimared at zoo, and
the' otiginal fum at 500c1. Laft Sefton they came
furward and afked for 30001. more, to double the
number. This he difapproved, and although he would
prefer Irifh to foreign education, he would not Rep
beyond the original bounds. The Univellity of Dub.
lin' was elleblinted by Q2een Elisabeth for the pre
fervation of the Proteltant ?rotettant
garrifon in a country of Catholics—and he thought
the Roman Catholic pries, being fixed at zoo, was
the greateft extent in number they ought to be al.
lowed.
Mr. DILLON raid the queflion was between hav-
ing no religion at all, and educating the Catholic
pleas. There were 2436 parifhes in Ireland, out r f
-which ke67 were without churches, glebe houfes, or
-refitting clergymea, and to thofe the Catholics were
obliged to pay tythes, which made them hate the
Protenant religion. ile, was convinced the only
mode of Winging 'the Catholics of Ireland over to
the Protellant religion, would be to Make' them re-
fpat it more, and, to fell it lets injurious and oppref-
five. A fyllem for the mndificition of trims. would
do more than all the arguments in the world, and he
hoped the Houfe would Coon let about it.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT defended the way in
which the grant had been introduced, and afked why
that mode bad not been altered by the Right Hon.
amtlemeo (Mr. Fatter) fence it had been condemn.
ed by his colleagle the Chancellor of the Exchequer
for Fatigtandl was glad he had the authority of
the Member for Dublin College bearing him out in
the affertion made by him in that Houfe, in the for.
mer Parliament, and which the Right Hon. Gentle•
man oppofhe (Mr. Percival) did not then Item
to credit. There were three reafons for ea.
couraging the education of the Roman Catholics in
Leland : one, that great lucrative objeCts were with:,
held from the Roman Catholics, which were the
greateft incentives in the education of the Proteltant;
another was, that the Roman Catholics were the
pooreft order, and therefore had a claim on the Go-
vernment to promote their education, becaufe they
were not able to fupport their own paaors ; and a
third was, that Oxford and Cambridge were open to
the Protellants, which were fhnt againft the Roman
Catholics; befides, Irifh Viceroys. in the plenitude of
their bounty, took good care to carry over to that
country a generous fupply of Clergy, who were limn
provided for on the Irifh Eflablifhment.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
aid, when Government propofed to enlarge the elle-
bliarment, he objected to it, unlefs it was fubmitted
to a Committee. He called for information, and
when that was denied, it 'mild have been Welds for
him to have made `a motion, when it was known how
treated.motions

tension to the church of Ireland; he trolled the pre.

eflablilhment nt alike houfes, if not of churches;
Lord HOWICK challenged the Right Hon. Gen,
tleman, who had jut fat down, to Date an inflance
in which the late Government had negledied the
Church in that country. He defired the Right
Hon. Gentleman to elk the Primate of that country. "
what he thcugbt of the Duke of Bedford's Admi.
niftration as. to that head ? He derived the Right
'Hon. Gentleman to look into the Secretary of State's
' Office for the Home Department, and there he would
fee the documents that would prove how far the late
Minifters were guilty of negligence, with reined to
Ireland; but fuch a charge carried with it all that
boldnefs of airertion for which. that Right Hon.
Gentleman was fo charaaerillic. The Noble Lord
then adverted to the conduit of another Right lion.
'Gentleman (Mr. niter) in coming before the Hook
fn. tthprepered, without having made the
previous fee when he Wa; in Ireland, and which,
be might haveilsods as victor of Maynooth College,

Ur. FOSTYR—f‘ The Noble Lefethoetsfas me of •
ogled, of levity and earelellnefs. Let him ea w"
if he knows of,arty office from which I could have
obtained the docoments hp alludes to ; if he dies
not, he (hews that his charge is one of as much levity
and ignorance as the afperny With which it was act.,
companied. I could get no documents, and it was
not in my power to make any inquiry."
Lord HOWICK, in reply, Paid, this was a pitiful
eicufe, for the Right Hon. Gentleman might here
found documents in the Secretary of States Office,
if he had taken the trouble to inquire.
Mr. FOSTER—" I will not tyll the Noble Lord,
that his is the language of afperny Ibut I will tell
him, he makes life of very pitiful terms."
Lord HOWICK—" The Houle is in total igno-
rance, whtther the Chancellor of the Exchequer for
' Ireland has made any inquiry or not concerning the
meafure he now propoles ; and Whether he once re.
fitted on the grounds of hit knowing asfittle about it
as he now does "
Colonel BARRY Paid a few words againft the
-policy of continuing the grant ;cloture, and laid that '
he.had been prefent at all the former debates on the
fobjta, and had 'ant heard of ihefe documents. He
difapproved of the wanton and unprovoked afperity
with which the Noble Lord had treated his Right
Hon. Friend.
Mr. SHERIDAN laid, that he would not begin,
as many Gentlemen had begun, with Rating that he
would not lengthen the debate, for certainly the ie:y
little he had to fay, little as it was, would rathet
ferve to prolong than to thorten the dilculfion. He
congratulated the late Adminiftration on the honour-
able testimony they had received from thy Gentleman
who had jail fat down—that Gentleman had beep
present at all the former difeuffions upon this fobe
jet, yet fuck was his confidence in the virtue of the
late Minikes, that he never once felt hinifelf called
upon to deliver his fentiments upon the prefent fub•
jeet—(a laigh)—bnt now when men have fucceeded,
for whom 'trey both felt fuch a (Miran, his patriotic.
jealoufy at once put an end to that fluent and actor="
ding acquiefcence to the judgments and fentimenuof
hone Iter men —(a laugh )
Colonel BARRY laid, that certainly the diligent
an i pualual attendance of his Right Honourable .
Friend to his Parliamentary duties, in the•laft Se&
lions (a laugh), enabled him to remember, accurately
all that then palled in that Honk. Unfortunately,
however, he (Colonel Barry) had frp.ken on that
fobje6l, though he did not expeti, nor, indeed, did
it appear, that it had made any great impteffion on
his Right Hon. Friend.
Mr. SHERIDAN Paid in anfwer, that if he had
not been as vigilanr'and anxious in his attention to
his parlirmentary duties during the let lemons as he
ufually was, it was owing to nothing but his un-
bounded confidence in the late Adminioration—(o
laugh)—betides, he had not fpoken from his perfonal
knowledge, but from what had fallen from his fici-
nourable Rim.% therefore he had not been in error,
unlefa it was imputed as fuch, his paying Inch imme-
diate implicit deference to the affection of his Hon.
Friend—(a laugh. )
Dr. DUIGENAN denied that the late Admini-
firation had manifefted any folicitude to promote the
interefts of the Proteflant religion in Ireland. On
the contrary, he had to flute, that a Bill which he
introduced, at the inftance of feveral of the Arch'-
hilltops and Bifhops of Ireland, to enforce the rell-
dence of the Clergy, and which Bill was a tranfcript
of that brought forward in this country by Sir W.
Scott, was difcountenanced by that Adminiftration,
and in consequence rejeaed. • What the Adminiltra-
tion to which he referred had done for the benefit of ,
the Eftablifhed Church it: Ireland, be had yet to learn.
Lord HOWICK had no idea that the difinclina-
tion of the late Government to countenances mea•
fore brought forward by the Learned Doftor. was
likely to depreciate the eharadter of that Government,
either in England or Ireland. Therefore, he did
not think it necefraty to make any attempt at vindi. .
cating himfelf or his colleague: againft the Learned
DctlLa's accufation.
Lord MILTON obferved, that Gentlemen, ill
aliening the fufficiency of a certain' number of Cleri
gymen to administer the duties of the Catholic reli•
ginn in Ireland, becaufe fuch a number was thought
neceflary in 1795, teemed altogether to exclude the
confideration of thofe events which had fince occurred
on the Continent, which events limited the fupplies
from that quarter, and alto appeared to forget thr
growing population of Ireland.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER in
reply to an obfervation from Lord Howick Dated,
that it did not appear from any inquiry he had been
able to make, that any farther extenfion of the num- ,
bet of pupils in this Seining, for the ecclefiaftical
furAirm, was called for by the necefilty of the cafe.
Mr. GRATTAN thought it remarkable, that while the Gen-
tlemen on the ether fide agreed to the Rtfoltalen, they purred a
contra of argument directly againft it. Their argument indeed
would militate not only againit the propored inmate of the In-
Ritutlon, but againft its original eftabliflsment. The principle Cl
the original eft ablifhment was to provide the means of cantata'
and dometticating the Catholic Clergy of Ireland, and thus tors,
te!t them front the opportunity of imbibing foreign principles...*
With that view the College of Maynooth was inflituted, and the
Rate of the Continent at the time rehdired fuch an isfiltatial

Come are inclined to doubt whether the bufinefs of
pacification had aEtually proceeded fo far ; but, as
the accounts of interviews between the two Emperors
are not doubted, we may infer that if not already
figned, Preliminaries will be fettled as fpeedily as
the intricacy of the various interefis of the parties
will admit. Some of the accounts which Rate the
actual figning of Preliminaries, for there are feveral
fuch in town, though none of them are official,
give the following as the principal conditions :

That Poland fhall be poffeffed as before by PrufHa
and Ruffia :—That all the Pruflian territories are to
be reftored, except Silefia and Weftphalia ;—That
the fortrefs of M4gdeburg fkall be garrifoned by
the French, until peace between Great Britain and
France (hall take place ;—and that all the Ports and
places on this fide of the Elbe, fhall henceforward be
under the dominion and controul of France. It is
conjeCtured that Bremen, Emden, and the whole of
Eaft Friefland, are to be united to Holland ; and that
&lam is to be meted into a feparate principality.
A Gentleman who left Amfterdam on Saturday
laft, Rates, that accounts had been received there of
the actual figning of the Preliminaries; and that
King Louts had not at that time returned, but was
expected at the Hague in a few days.
