ADJOURNED DEBATE

ON THE CATHOLIC QUESTION:
Sir J. NEWPORT having moved the resumption
Of the debate, rose and spoke in substance as follows:
If this question had come under consideration; at-
tended by the rains circumstances with which it was
marked iti the late Session of the last Parliament, he
Should not have felt it incumbent on hitn to call for
the attention of the House, but would hate content-
edly left it to the imprelsion of the speech of his Right
Hon. Friend (Mr. Grattan), and to that of his Hon.
and Learned Friend ( Mr. Plunkett), which had been
listened to with so touch respect and admiration by
both sides Of the House, bn the first night of the dis-
cussion on this subject, There were, ,mwever, cir.
cumstances which had this year been unhappily su-
peradded to the main question, and which had, he
feated,ansster •d bta too well the expectations of those
whose arts had been etercised either in creating► or
taking advantage of them. Much ingenuity and ex-
traordinary zeal had been exerted to impress the m-
ple with a persuasion that this was a question Vitally
affecting the safety of their religion. instead of
leaving the decision to a dispassionate inquiry into
political considerations—instead of leaving it as a fit
subject fir legislative investigation and adjustment,
it has been taken up by ecclesiastical partisans as a
propel' engine for fomenting discord, and producing
tli-will among the subjects of this empire. They ap-
peared to have forgotten that that was the place where
the /of loess of legislation ought to be transacted, that
the duty of consulting the interests, of increasing the
strength, and of promoting the harmony of the coun-
try, fay with Parliaments to whom is a pcculiq

~.~

manner belonged the contioul.aod defence of to.
rights which were in the spirit of the Constitution
common to us all. ~,,A subject of this magnitude, so
immediately affecting the most important interests of
the. State, could not be too ,soon investigated and
fiettlly determined.. But he did think that the distill-
guished members of the church, the mitred dignitaries
of theprofession, might have abstained with credit to
„themselves, after a resolution of that,House had, in
ilOnte.manner, pledged the Legislature to a grave and
yttpartia inquiry into the real merits of the question.
Instead of this pendent rewrite, however, charges of
the most serious and unsparing nature bad been urged
against as large proportion ofthe inhabitants of these
islands ;: charges, imputing disaffection and treason-
able propensities, and ushered into theavorld without
either inviting or admitting the possibility of an im-
mediate reply,: It became necessary for him, there-
fore, in that piece, to refute such atrocioes,,calurn-
flies, and ccntradict aspersions, as groundless in fact
as they, Were mischievous in tendency. He held in
his hand a charge delivered by a Right Rev..Prelaxe
to the Clergy of hie diocese, in which imputations
that appeared to him to be abominable, were roundly
applied to the Roman. Catholics of Ireland.. That
Rev. writer, in the course of this address, asks, 44 Does
any man lemPloy; en his private -concerns, those
whom he thinks disaffected to his interests, and who,
he knows. would rejoice, at his disgrace and ruin ?"
What was this but an unequivocal, insinuation,. that
the whole Catholic body in Ireland were traitors, in
their hearts and dispositions, to the Government of
the country.? But lest any doubts should exist as to
the Rev. Prelate's intention, this accusation was di-
reedy made in another part of the charge, and he did
think, that the animadversions of Government would
have been judiciously exercised upon a libel,. which
the Members. of .that Government well knew, and
had themselves declared in public, to be destitute of
, any foundation in fact. It was likewise added, in
the same
.production, that the concessions pf 1793
had been made, under promises._ and conditions on
the part of the Catholics, to give their support and
assistance of the Government, and with the expressed
pgagement of requiring no further, alteration in the
Statutes affecting them. The latter assertion he p,D-
ativ ell, denied ; and in support of his denial, would
refer to what passed in one of the discussions on the
Union, when the Marquis of Downshire distinctly
asked the question, whether, if the claims of the Ca-
tholics were admitted to a certain extent, it was to
be understood that they would be pursued no fur-
ther ? In answers Lord Hobart declared, that he
could not give any assurance to that effect. —( Hear,
hear ). —ln fact, the Catholics did, at that period,
claim a full adMission to all the privileges of the'
Constitution, and a motion was even made by Mr.
Knox, to yield to them the entire prayer of their pe-
titions. The charge of the Rev. Prelate 3 to whom
he had referred, did riot, however, scruple to assert,
that the Papists had made use of the indulgence then
exercised towards them, and the new privileges they
then acquired, to rise in their demands, to augment
their strength and invigorate their exertions for thel
purpose of accomplishing their ultimate object—i
the separation of Ireland from Great Britain. The
whole Catholic body was thus stigmatised as trai-
tors to the Constitution, with no appeal to any kind
of evidence in support of so grave an accusation.—
The Noble Lord opposite knew, as well as himself,
that the last rebellion in Ireland was not a Ca-
tholic rebellion, that it was entirely political, and
participated in by Catholics and Protestants without
lany religious distinction. The declarations of Pai-
-1 Bement were vouchers to the truth of this statement,
that Parliament which, during the continuance of
the rebellion, and both before and after it, were sup.
[spiting a Roman Catholic College at Maynooth.—
No doubt the Catholics were engaged in great nurn-
bees in that insurrection, but was this surprising
when it was known that they formed so large a ma-
jority of the inhabitants of Ireland ? But be might
safely refer to the period of the French landing in
Bantry Bay, for practical and irrefragable proofs of
the loyalty of the Catholic body, and their devotion
to the common cause. They then contributed very
material assistance to the King's troops, although the
south of Ireland was then in a state of organization.
When he saw the Clergy thus wantonly mierepre-
senting and decrying large bodies of their fellow sub.
jects, he would recommend to them the perusal of a
sermon preached by Archbishop Sharpe, in 1700,
before the House of Lords. That Learned Divine
had there observed, that when the ministers of retie
eon addressed the congregation on political topics,
mixing in the discussion of questions of State policy,
or attempting to define and adjust the prerogative*
of the Crown or the duties of Government, they
meddled with matters that little concerned them-
selves ; that these were subjects properly belonging
to other assemblies and to men of other professions ;
and that for the Clergy to assume to themselves the
decision of such questions was as improper and as
little connected with their sacred functions as the de-
termination
of suits in Westminster Hall.— (Hear,
hear.)—The Honourable Baronet did not doubt that
Archbishop Sharpe would have delivered his opinion
had he formed one upon due reflection, but then he
would have expressed it in the proper place, from his
seat in the House of Lords, and in his capacity as a
Senator of the realm. There were other parts in this
charge in which as well as in some of the Petitions
on the table, tenets were imputed to the Catholics as
a crime which those who nude the imputation must
themselves hold, if they were as they professed to be
Members of the Church of England.—(Hear, hear.)
They ascribed to the Catholics the doctrine of exclu-
sive salvation, and urged this as an argument against
the expediency of granting further concessions. He
would beg leave to ask these persons how long it
was since they read in their prayer books the Atha-
nasian creed, in which the same principle is main-
tained ? But this was one of the objections in the
petition of the Archdeacon and Clergy of the county
of Buckinghamshire.—(/rear, hear.)— From these

i
specelative tenets and dogmata commie to holt
churchee, he would make his appeal to the ptactiell
effects of.different systems of religious faith,. ei thei
were to be traced in die
.politieat influence and opea
ration..• Initead of going hack vile ,decrees of the
Council of Constance, or iif the Council of Lateran,
he would choqse lather to inquire whither. any of ,
those doctrines, .which in their theorLare obnoxious, :
have been carried into practical execution during the
present age in any Catholic
,State in Europe ? It was :
worth while tp. Collider whether there was any,par.
titular nation, which, from its circumstances and
situation, niight,serve 0 furnish an example and an
illustration, in refeserlcc to the present question to
ourselves. His Right jloaOttrable Friend, whd sub- .
mitted the pnaposition,a under . consideration; had
• alluded to the condition aro Hungary.. This wasp •
indeed, altogether a case in point, and well deserved
the attention of ;he House. • He recollected that
when Switzerland had been cited as aftording evi. .
Bence applicable to this question, it vans replied, that 1
although the argument might . hold in respect to '
small States, it was, not equally forcible when applied
to large communities. Hungary then wa? apopttlout
risd extensive empire ; her inhabitants . ambunped to
the number of seven millions, and had been divided
for are into contending sects. The Lutherans and,
Icalvinists wereampposed, together, to equal tile Cite,
tbolics, and the Catholic faith was the dominant reel
;igion. • In.lltuigiiry, too, the experiment was lofts
made.of the operation of exclusive laws, and the re.
suit of that experiment was, that for along .•erioct f
that country was convulsed to its centre: the Luth
!rasa called in the Turk to his assistance, arid the eni4
pire. was , more than once divided. The policy elf
concession was at length, employed by Maria The-
resa, and tranquillity was sonin,partially restored.--a
I Finally, by an unlimited extension of civil rights. is
' all .classes and sects; without, distinction of teliiipo,
,so complete became the Union and concord of trio
speople, that they were:; the firat who successfully re-
sisted the triumphant progrets of _Bonaparte, and 1
when he, was dictating his own terms at Vienna, told
him, that there should his proud career be stayed.—. '
Hear, hear.)— So, far, then; ivas this example in
nt, and let it be ebserved that it was a Catholic
1
eablishMent which exercised this toleration, al-
though we heard every day the cry that their creed
'admitted no toleration of any faith different front
their own. No civil distinction, however, there exists
between Papist and Protestant, and the ci-
are manifest in the extinction of ancient
—in the unanimous loyalty of the peopi
recent prosperity, and in the equal attachi
to a Constitution that dispenses to all an •
of privilege and advantage. If he were
dissentious between the two churches whi
vailed here for centuries, he would remi
the still bitterer and more fatal dissent
once rent the peace and integrity of H
which now existed no longer. The great
of unqualified concession was carried .
against the will and in defiance of a Cathdlic
chy ; but it was carried by a prodigious -
a Diet of friar hundred persons. He .
the Parliament of Great Britain and Irelat
imitate and adopt the same policy, in gig.
for whom it legislated an equal interest in ti.
servation of the Constitution and the prosperity
the empire. It was to contradict experience, and
suppose the Catholics devoid of common -
apprehend that, after being loYal under
their loyalty would vanish under a system
and liberality. With respect to the question
litical power, he would say, that it had been -
giten to them s—when the Legislature, indeed,
mitted them to acqpire property, it gave
means of acquiring poWer ; and the elective,
conferred Political power on the whole body of
Catholics.—No man who viewed with an
eye, and compared together, this last co;
that which is now required, could hesitate to
that far greater danger if danger really existed,
to be found in this privilege of nominating.'
by such multitudes, than in permitting a .
come themselves nominees. What could five or
Catholics, elected by Protestants, effect in -
when compared with those who might be sent
Catholic constituents? An Honourable
(Mr. Bankes) had, on a former night, rert
paper purporting to be a protest mode by
Pope against that system of toleration
French Government had established. He
been at some pains to inquire into its ai
and among persons likely to have information.
he stated that from what had passed between himset
and those persons who were utterly unacquaintei
with such a document, he believed it to be a fabrica
tion, :le meant no insinuation that that Honourable
Gentleman either knew or suspected it to be so. I'
was not easy indeed to ascertain the point accuratel
because it was always difficult to prove a negativ
But we lived in an era of fabrication, and the avidit
with which the fictitious' Statute of the Penal Law
had been read and believed 'hewed with what au
cess arts of this kind had been practised. A printe
at Chichester had been even threatened with pro
cution, because he ventured to doubt the authenticir
of that celebrated publication, and although since it
disavowal and exposure, it had been called too clums
a device to deceive any man, yet it was notorious
that it had deceived thousands. The Editor of T
.Q.,,arterlyßeview, who would probably consider it
:,n aspersion upon his literary character to be thoug
capable of being deceived by a clumsy artifice, ha
however, been deceived by this production, and hail
reviewed it as a true and genuine exposition. H
wished not to dwell on the past transaction in Ire!
land, but he did think that the attention of Goveral
ment would be wisely directed to the oath of th
Orangemen. This oath, which, in fict, restricted
and conditioned for the allegiance of the sulject, w:
in his judgment quite as objectionably as that of tt
United Irishmen, which did the same thing: For s
rural centuries Ireland was thi: victim of not s
