may get rid of his clerical funitions by a clifpenfa-
tion from the Pope ;—in the Church of England
every man is his own Pope—he abfolves hiusfelf,
and he difpenfei for himfclf. The Noble Lord had
laid, he viand to make the diftindion braider be-
tween the Clergy and the People; if that was his
°Ned, let him bring in a BiU to that died; but if
he did fo, it was an innovation, and contrary to
the principles of the Reformation, the objea of
which had been, to do away the dittindion between
the Clergy and the People, and blend them more
clofely together. It was Paid the other day, that
if a clergyman who had committed adultery fhould
hlre.been difninted, and afterwards elated to a
•eabqoshatlioufe ; would he not be eligible ? He

• The Houfe has been told that aceoriling to canto),
a perfon who voruntarily lays afide his 'clerical
charader is fubje&ed to excommunication, but that
this excommunication does not deprive him of his
clerical charader. In order to get diyefled of this
charader, he fuppored he mutt then commit fome
crime which would fubjea him to depofition ; for
inftance, imitate the condo& of the Rev. Gentle-
man who was a few days ago convicted of adul-
tery. By committing adultery, a perfon who is in
lioly Orde; s may become eligible to a Seat in the
Houle: but excommunication, in confeqoence of
a voluntary! and not criminal ad, only delivers
him over to the devil, leaves him (till his charader
as a Clergyman, and (till ineligible. In oppofition
to this Canon, on which fo much firers has been
laid, he begged Ivan to read another, as much in
force at the prefect day as the other.--;[Mr.Tooke
here read it, and by it all Clergymen who exor-
, die, or attempt to exit diet devils, or to wife evil
fpirits, are declared fubjeet to the puniihment of
depofitionl.Now, if he had given any fuch of.
fence; for ;aflame, if be had attempted to cart out
Hdeyil out of any Gentleman. a Member of that
oufe, he would have been eligible to a kit in
it. But becaufb he had voluntarily, innocently,
withoot giving offence, laid afide his office as a
Clergyman, he was to he declared ineligible to a
feat in the Hours. ge mutt be guilty of fome
crime, it teems, before he can be eligible. It real-
ly put him in mind of the girl who went to the
Magdalen Hotpital, and applied 'for admiffion.
She was anfwered, that there was indeed a place
vacant in the houfe ; but use was &fired to Rate
her claims to admittance. a How was you ruin-
ed ? How feduced ?"--a Lord, Sir ! (replied the
girl) me reduced! I am as innocent as the child
unborn." She was then told, that if The was in-
' nocent The could not poflibly be admitted ; but if
the yzifbed to gain admillion, (he mutt go away
and qualify herfelc for the fitoation. Similar was
the language which had been held to him. As to
the rear in Of the queftion, he had a few more ob-
fervations to make. rt is the duty of Members of
that Honk to watch over the public fafety, and to
endeavour to prevent or remove the dangers which
threaten it. But with this it is Paid the Clergy
have no right to interfere. What, (hall a perfon
in Holy Orderi on board a Ship not put his hand
to the pump to Pave the Vreffel from finking ? or
handle a buhket to put' ut a fire? This is not the •
language ni Seftaries, but of reafon and common
kale. "It here occurred to him to mention one
thing which he ought to have mentioned before.
There are three teamed Profeffions, Law, Phyfic,
-and Divinity. In all civilized fociety each of thefe
Protections are guarded againll the intrufioa of ig-
norance, left the ignorant fhould be impofed upon
by the ignorance of other men pretending to know-
ledge. In the two former profeftions after the re-
qiiillte knew/ledge is afcertained by formal exami-
nation, the Candidates for them acquire ti,e full
right to perform all their duties. , But there is a
difference in the third Profeffion, which neither the
Noble Lord or the Right Hon. Gentleman Teem to
hate been aware of. A perfon may be formally
ordained and admitted to Holy Orders, and yet
have no right to perform any one of the duties of the
Clerical Charader. Before he can have a right to
perform any one of there duties, preach, adminifier
the Sacrament, or baptize, he mutt have fome be-
nefice in the Church, and the moment he lays afide
that beneffce he again lofes his right to perform
Clerical Duties But it would not be difficult to
prove that a Clergyman may be as ukful as another
man in civil or military affairs. The cafe of the
famous Dr. WALRIRovho bravely defended Lon-
donderry during its liege by JAMES 11. is well
known. • Xitig•Wizziao was anxious to reward
him by Iseflovnng on him a Bflhopric. The Bithops
interfered, and laid, this man has indeed performed
great fervices ; but his hands have been imbrued in
blood, and, he cannot be a Bifhop. King WILLIAM
was anxious to reward him in fome other .way i
and as he could not make him a Bifhop, he gave
him a Regiment, and Dr. then Colonel W ,
was afterwards killed, fighting gallantly by his
fide. Mr. Tooas then mentioned a number of
cafes, which he argued to be ;neon/114ot with the
dodrinea held by the Noble Lord. He Paid there
bad lately. been a Member of this Houfe, a perfon
In Holy Orders, and Colonel of a Regiment of Mi-
litia--(His same cow called for, but not given)—Ro-
iiNeost the Bifhop of Dublin, was Lord Privy
Seal ; Lord CIIOLMONDILIY held two Livings in
the Church; Dr. PILITTY MAN, the Bifhop of Lin-
coln, was at one time Secretary to Mr. PITT;
I)oaor O'Beiaw I, Whop of Meath, was Secre- ,
tory to the Duke of PORTI.AND ; the prefent Bifhop
Of'Dsiter takes his Scat in the Houle of Lords as
Earl of &envoi, ; the Arclibilhop of CASH I x takes
his Scat in the fame Houfe as Lord SOMEILTON ;
Mr. Goapoa, an intimate friend of the late Clerk
0 the Houfe, Mr. HA TULL and a Layman, was
prefented fo the Living of Madras, and he finithed
by being a Commit loner of the Vidualling Office,
which he had no hopes of doing. The late Mini-
fler himfelf, Mr. PITT, recommended to hit Majeity
to dignify with a Peerage, ander the name and
title of Lord Howes, a perfon in Holy Orders,
holding two Livings, and a Magiftrate in the
Country.--Mr. Toosa concluded with cautioning
the Hoare to take care at leaft that they abed le-
gally, and to make the Law before they enforced it.
Mr. &moo entered into an extenfive view of
the fubjed, illuftraiing with great minutenefs of
Itatement the &ems) precedents which Teemed to
him to invalidate the right of perfons in Holy
Orders to a feat in the Reprefentatire body of the
Commons of England. He infifted on the terms
of the writ to the eledors, infiruding them to
ehoofe Knights, Citizens, and Burgeffes, to none
of which chains the clergy belonged in the more
ancient times of our,biflory, and inferred that their
eonfequent ineligibility was thus clearly efiablilhed.
He contended that they never did at any time
mix with the Reprefentative podyaf the People
in the management of their property, but fat at
different times, and were lubjed to peculiar regu-
lations. Having at much length attempted to
(hew that hifiory, precedent, and law authority,
made again& their right, he. in conclulioxi, ad-
-1
verted to the conk...peaces wltif,l2 would With

from the recognition of the right, contending that
the ditatarge of Parliamentary duty would necef
farily involve a neglea of the offices of di& facred
an important funaion.
Mr. Vox rote next, and at confiderable length,
combated the arguments adduced in fupport of
the on motion. Though he differed entirely'
from the Right Honoorable Gentleman who had
moved the Order of the Day as to the grounds of
this motion, and though he was pot by any means
convinced that this was the moft prudent way of
getting rid of the original quettion, ftillhe was
content in the prefent inflance to rapport the mo-
tion, for the purpofe Qt difpofing of the motion of
the noble Lord, add proteiling the Honfe from a
vote which he conceived would be highly uncon-
aitutional in itfelf, and dangerous in its confe-
quences. After having heard the Right Honour-
able Gentleman esprcfs himfelf fully convinced of
the inexpediency of the motion of the noble Lord,
he had hoped that he would have been difpded to
go the full length of giving a decided negative to
the principle •of the Motion ; but without entering
into any examination of the confiftency_ahis con-
duet, he was glad to have the Right Honourable
Gentleman's litppOrt, however obtained. The
Houle were placed in a Itrange fanatic% when it
was thought proper to alert that a particular law
exifted 14 the stage of Parliament, but it was at
the 'brae time admitted that it would be more
confifteitt with the maxims of wifdom and difcre.
tion to difpenfe with its esercife. Without going
into any difcuflion on the right which the Houk
polfeffed to difpenfe ith laws in particular cafes,
he was willing to accede to the motion for the
Order of the Day as a means of putting an end to
I the general question for ever. The queftion fub-
mined to the Houle was one materially involving
a right of the•Conflitution, in fo far as refpated
the whole body of the clergy, and this therefore
led at once to an examination of thole precedent,
on which this right was attempted to be denied. it
was (toted by Gentlemen on the other fide, that
there were many inflances where the circumftancc
of perfons being in Holy Orders was declared to
be a ground of ineligibility. On the other hand,
he would affert that there was only one folitary
intlance where any fuch declaration was made,
and that too in a cafe where the circumfiances
were of a peculiar nature. Was it declared in the
precedents which were offered to the Houle, that
the perfons ejeaed were ineligible becaufe they
were in Holy Orders ? No ; it was on the con-
trary exprefsly declared in the cafe of Newell, that
he was ineligible, not becaufe he belonged to the
body of the clergy ; not becaufe he had been ad-
mitted to prieft's orders, but folely becaufe lie was
or might have been, a Member of Convocation.
The fame obfervation applied to the other prece-
dents, where the feat in the Convocation was ex-
plicitly mentioned as operating to their exclufion
from the right of fitting in Parliament. He was
unable, therefore, to conceive why the Houfe
were to be repeatedly told that, in the Records of
Parliament, Holy Orders were fpecified as form-
ing a bar to the validity of an election, when in
the very words of the precedents produced, a dif-
ferent caufe was particularly dekribed. If in-
&ad of this, it was faid, that the clergy were in-
eligible as Members of Convocation, there would
be a fair ground of argument where this affertion
could be held, when the powers of the Convoca-
tion had sealed to be exercifed as in the ancient
times of our hiltory. But the Noble Lord had
chofen to alien, that even now the powers of this
body exifted in their full force, and that they
might henceforth refume all their former func-
tions. He had trolled that this phantom of the
Convocation had difappeared for ever, for he had
long conceived all its powers to have expired. He
could not refrain from quoting on the prefent oc-
carton two lines of an Englifh Poet, where he in-
troduced common fenfe as a queen governing the
world by her Tway,
Boa, Common Scare, whilft thou on earth het reign,
The convocation ne'er (hall meet again;
The influence of' that queen he was willing to al-
low had been much felt, in the late counfels or
plans of the rulers of this country, nor were his
hopes of her future dominion of the moll fanguine
kind. He could not Infer himfelf however for a
moment to believe that the national charaaer was
fo degraded, fir loft to every feeling of its own im-
portance and dignity, as ever to fubmit to the
revival of the convocation in our land. He knew
not how the Gentlemen on the other fide were to
get over the dilemma, that the Clergy fince 1664
were permitted to have a vote in the elation of
the Reprefentatives of the People,whilll they fire-
nuoufly contended againft their right of obtaining
a Seat in that Houle where there Reprefentatives
were to be afrembled. If it was find that, after
the right of the Clergy to tax themfelve; ceafed,
this ngbt of voting was eflabliffied by tacit com-
paa, it might be milked, why the right of fitting was
not conceded on the fame principle ? The only
principle flared on the records of' Parliament for
their exclution front chit latter privilege was, that
they wero'liembers of Convocation ; but this hav-
ing been abolifhed, the exclufive operation of the
pnnciple was deftroyed. As the right of voting
was eftabliffied by a fort of tacit compact, how
might not the right of fitting be eflablilhed in a fl-
Ini4r manner ? It was no argument fufficient to
invalidate this fuppofition, that no Statute to this ef-
feawas to be found, fince it appeared that the right
of voting was exercifed for 47 yeah previousto the
formation of any Statute ;.yet no doubt whatever
could reafonably be ente.rtained that during the
whole of this interval the right was fully and -freely
exercifed. The previous exclufion was declared
to originate folely from the right of the Clergy
to fit in Convocation; but, when this right could
nolo:tiger be exeisifed ' • when the realm: of the
1-aWc(Stelpfion had ceafed to operate, it was fair
to conclude that the Law was no longer in force.
The Law which was founded on the powers
vetted in the Clergy to fir a feparate rate of taxa-
tion was no longer expedient when the. right of
taxation had coifed. In point of faa, the prece-
de*: iu the Report all Rated the exclufion on this
fad, however' Gentlemen chofe to make unfupport-
ed'aertions about Holy Orders. At the period
particularly alluded to, it was trot that this fort

of language began to be held by certain individa-
als, but in no C3ie was it employed by the Houfe
in their fi:vcral orders on the fubjea. If, however.
the circumstance of being in Holy Orders was, as
had been arrued, the real ground of excl nfion,
how could it be accounted for that fuc,h terms were
fo carefully avoided, and the right to a feat in the
Convocation was the tingle ground on which the
Houfe came to a decifion ? Nor was the cafe of
Craddock at all irreconcileabk with this ftatement,
Grace it was in the period when the flatute of 1641
was in force, that be was excluded on the ground
of being in Holy Orders ; but when that statute
' was repealed, matters were reftored to their antient
footing. On the fair foundation of law and pre-
cedent there was therefore, nothing which could
area the right of the Honourable Gentleman to
a feat in the Houfe. But other Ikons rcafons for
this excitation had been produced, and a particular
allufion had been made to the language of the
,Clergy to Elizabeth, wheo praying for admiffion
to feats in the Houfe, and hence it was endeavour.
ed to be (hewn bow dangerous the introdu&ion of
the Clergy mint be to the intereftsof the People.
But what was in fa& the meaning of this petition,
on which fo much firers teemed to be placed', It
was not raid by the Clergy, " Suffer us to become
the reprefentatives of the people, and thus rive us
an opportunity to fupport your pi Cletilai,./*+bILIL
it was, in fubltance, allow us to fit by your love.
reign appointment, or in other words, without
having been eleaed at all, and thus fecure us to
your will. But Inch language in the mouth of peo-
pie, wifhing to fit without eleaion, was furely no
argument againft the right of other perfons to a
place in Parliament who were fairly and unobjec-
tionably:eleeted. Nor was he to be told by perfons
who teemed to confider the prefervation of a par.
ticular clafs, which were not unfrequently the
obje& of reproach to others, that the people of
Old Sarum were not entitled to proteaion in the
perfon of their Reprefentative, againft whofe
claim no cafe had been proved. gut here recourfe
was had to antient learning, and an antiquarian
lawyer was to come forward and tell the Houfe,
that the Clergy were ineligible, becaufe he had
endeavoured to Phew that formerly they did not
come under any of the defcription of perfons
whom the writ embraced. This he could not help
confidering, as one of the molt extraordinary
caufes of ineligibility ever produced. For was it
not notorious to every one, however limited might
be his information, that the Clergy at this mo-
ment were fully competent to the difcharge of all
the duties implied in the charaaer of thefe feve-
ral or could it be denied that they
were, in a variety of cafes, aaually difcharged with
honour to themfelves, and honour to the country ?
As to the general principle of eligibility, he was
unwilling to (tate a broad, general propofition to
the Houk, but he conceived it might be aliened
with truth, that where no pofitive flatute interven-
ed, every clafs in the community were elegible,
and this obfervation was fufficient to mark his opi-
nion of the particular cafe. On the other quef-
tion. of the power of the clergy never to lay down
their chara&er, he profeffed himfelf lets qualified
to judge, but if, as the Honourable Gentleman
had (hewn, the as of others originating from
particular was of condo& in individuals of the
body could enfure depofition, and confequentlyua,
the lots of this char:after, he mutt own that the
Honourable Gentleman's ftatements were info-
perable. But the Houfe were told to beware
of the dreadful confequences that would refult
from the admiflion of the Clergy to a feat in Par-
liament, and to tremble at the evils of fo imprudent
a communication with Legiflative privileges. He
wifited to know, however, what difference there
was in the Conftitution of the Houfe of Lords, and
of that Houfe, which rendered their Seat in the
one not only harmlefs but ufekl, and in the othcr
dangerous and deftruftive ? To him, then, there
teemed to be only two grand diftinftions betwixt
the two Houfes. The other Houfe could alone
as as a Court of Appeal from the inferior Courts,
while in this Houfe was lodged the difpofal of the
national treafure. He wished to know, then, what
pollible danger could refult from the pretence of
the Clergy in the one Houfe, which was not now
experienced in the other? Till this could be
clearly explained, he should content himfelf with
viewing all the popular arguments on this tub-
jeft as altogether nugatory. Was it not as true
of the Bifhopi who fit in the one Houfe, as of
the inferior Clergy, that it was their duty to
devote themfelves to the duties of their facred
charafter ? Befides, was it not to be considered
that every Clergyman might be created a Peer, and
in that. cafe his eligibility would not be cisfputed.—
On the fame principle, it was not to be forgotten
that Clergymen might in a variety of cafes be here-
ditary Noblemen, and they too would fit in the
other Houfe without the fmallea attempt being
made to oppofe their title. From this view of the
fubjea, did it not appear how fallacious were the
arguments drawn from popular conliderations—
of the danger of allowing Clergymen to fit as Iso.
prefentatives oldie Commons of England?
Mr. Fox, after illuftrating this view of the rub.
jea at tome length, and touching on feveral other
topics, concluded his very able fpeech by giving
his fupport to the motion for the previous queftirat.
Sir Wae. Scorr Paid it was necelTary to look to
the Canon Law before a queftion of this kind cou'd
be decided. There was no pofition more clear
than this, that by the Canon Law any man who
had devoted himfelf to the Mioiftry was, during
the remainder of his life, incapable of changing
that fitaation into which he entered. The Hon.
Gentleman oppofite him might fay, indeed, that
he had voluntarily refigned his funaions ; but he
knew as well as any man that he (till had it in his
power to claim all the pirivileges belonging to the
Clergy ; and that if, after having obtained a pre.
ferment in the Church, he fhould come to him
(Sir W. Scott) as Vicar General cf the diocek of
Canterbury, he could not objea to him as a Lay.
man. The prohibition which a Clergyman might
labour under again(' detattng his funeions, was
not a privation of his clerical charaaer, but a fuf,
penfion from the exercife r and it that furpenaon
continued during his life, be was Mill a Clergy-
&Dan ; and he cold not wither by any aft of his

eTtt or others ceafe to be filch, and become a
Layman, This principle was not unfupported
by other confiderations. The fandify of thing*
devoted to Goo was confidered by the Church
as always appertaining to them : it was not
allowed even to be removed from places that
had once been confecrated to holy purpoles. in
the fame manner, thofe perfons who had once de.
voted themfelves to religion, were not at liberty
aftew•ards to defacrate themfelves. The next quef-
-.

ion was, whether fuch perfons had a right to fit
in that Houfe ? It was very clear that no clergy.
man could acquire any right which he did not
poffefs by the ancient canons of the Church ; and
they did not allow this right. The people of this
country were formerly divided into three claffes:
the Clergy, the Nobility, and the Commons.
Each of thefe clafTes were reprefented by them-
felves in different airemblies; and at the very time
Parliament was fitting, the Clergy had a feparate
body of their own winch flit and reprefented them.
As to the addition of the word Cfrricue to the names
of perfons returned to Parliament, it did not fol-
low that the perfonfo defcribed was a Clergyman ;
for Cirri= fignified a man of learning, or what
the French called en home de Imre:. By the an-
cient canons of the country, a Clerk could not fit
as a Reprefentative of the Commons in Parlia-
ment,bccaufc he was a Member of another branch.
But there was nothing to prevent him from being
a Member of the Upper Houfe, if the King chore
to ennoble him. The Clergy certainly had a
right of voting for Members to ferve in Parlia-
ment, but it did not follow that they had a right
to fit there. Many other perfons were in the fame
fituation. The Clergy had never claimed the
right of being Members of that Houfe. The fla-
totes that had been enacted to prevent them from
fitting in the Houle, were only enacted againft
thole who had a common law capacity. He would
not then enter into the policy of the quetlion ; but
he would maintain that by the Canon law the
Clergy were difqualified from being Members of
the Houfe of Commons.
Mr. ERSKINE, in a fpeech of tome length, ar-
gued in favour of the clegibility of Clergymen to
ferve in Parliament. He began by noticing the
Ad of 1641 which excluded Ecclefiaftics from
fitting in Parliament. The Preamble to that Ad
Rated, that great inconveniencies had arifen from
Ecclefiallics fitting in Parliament—Now, if they
had never before fat in Parliament, it would have
been abfurd to Rate their fitting there had been
productive of inconvenience. This Ad was re.
pealed in 1661, and it was worthy of notice,
that the preamble to the latter Ad Rated, that
the Ad of 1641 had made feveral alterations in
, the Law and Cufloms of the Land : this appear•
ed to him a completeproof that that Ad had in•
vaded the antient Law and Conftitution of Parlia-
ment, by declaring, that perform in Holy Orders
were ineligible. No man could feel more highly
than he did the tiered duties which a Clergyman'
bad to perform, or would with more than he did
to kep thofe perfons from tnixing in the turbu-
lent fcenes of the world ; but if he was anted, whe-
ther the diftindions which were now contended
for, were founded in the antient Law of the Coun-
try .? his anewer would be, certainly not. But if
it was inconfitient with the duties of a Clergy-
man to ad as a Member of Parliament, furelv it
was as improper for them to ad. as Magittrates ;
and yet it was known that the Public had derived
great benefit from the exertions of feveral Magi-
firates at Quarter Seffions, &e. With refped to
the cafe of Dr. Craddock, it appeared to him to
have nothing to do with this cafe, becaufe he was
declared ineligible, not under the general law and
cutlom of Parliament, but in eonfequence of a fpe-
cific ftatute which had fince been repealed, conic-
quently it did not affect the cafe one way or ano-
ther. It had never been argued that the King
could not make a man a Peer, even though he
Mould happen to be a Prieft—this certainly was
giving the King a much greater power than the
Houfe of Commons. With refped to the Convo-
cation, he knew it walled in theory, but it did not
eft for any effentill purpofe. They could not vote
money, and therefore the exiftence of the Convoca-
tion in theory was no reafon why clergymen thould
not fit in Parliament. Mr. Erfkine having argued
thefe points at tome length, concluded with flat
ing, that he should vote for the Order of the Day.
The ATTORN r vG e m teat Paid there could not be
found a dictum, or even the thadow of fuggeftion
to thew that it was at any time legal for a Prieft to
fit in that Houfe. The Repealing we of Charles
the Second, to often quoted, and fo much relied
on by Gentlemen on the other fide, applied only
to the refloration of the Bithops to their right of
sitting in the Upper Houfe, which was in fad
but a recognition of his Majelly's prerogative.
Mr. Gatr obferved, upon what he confidered a
(hinge inconfillency of the arguments employ-
ed by thofe who maintained, that a Prieft was
ineligible to fit in that Houle. If Prieft's Or-
ders were irrevocable, and indefeafible, and dif-
qualified the ordained from a feat in Parliament,
the objection applied equally to both Houfes of
the Legifiature—lt could not be invalidated
by the King's prerogative. If it was oppofite to
the purity oT the pneßhood to interfere in tem-
poral legiflation. , the Bithops thould be excluded
from the Houfe of Lords; and indeed it would
be rather an awkward mode to preferve the
purity of that character, to force a man to continue
the profeffion after his opinions (hall have under-
a change—to difcharge the duties of the
reefthood with infincerity and bypocrify—giving
that infincere perfon an opportunity of more effec-
tually propogateng his doctrines—tat he thought
injudicious, therefore difapproved of the fentiments
delivered on the other fide, that the function of a
Pdell could not be laid down under any circum.
fiances. He exprelfed his purpofe to vote for the
motion of the Right Hon. Gentleman (the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer), at the fame time inform.
ing him that if he thould, in the Bill he had declar.
ed his delign to bring forward, propofe, that no

have hi• hearty fupport.
..aav Hated himfell to have been a
Commute on Mr. Ruliwort,h's

cafe, and defined the critic of the refolutions enter-
ed into by that Committee refpeding his eligibility.
Mr. Tooxi read to the Houfe an extra& from
the opinion of a celebrated Civilian, Dr. Wade,
to whom a brief was given on the fubjel of Mr.
Rufhworth. The opinion Rated, " That there
was no canonical impediment to a Prieft's fitting
in the Houfe of Commons ; but that the Dodor
, felt hitnfelf unable to affert pofitively whether or
not it was agreeable to the ufage of the Houfe to
allow it, as there were no precedents to that point."
Sir WM. SCOTT agreed in the opinions of Dr.
Wade, that there was no canonical impediment
in the cafe; but as to the cuftoms of the Houfe of
Commons he had little doubt.
Mr. BRAGGL went at large into the queftion,
and ably vindicated the conduit of the Committee
in their examination of the Rolls and Records of
Parliament. He concluded with declaring his ap.
probation of the Motion for the Order of the Day.
Mr. Fox explained—as did Mr. GREY.
Mr. Mawrr argued in fupport of the motion
for the orders of the day.
Mr. WY NNE fupported the motion of Lord Tem-
pl_e, and was followed on the fame fide by Sir
HENRY MILDMAY.
The Somme's GENERAL Paid he was not fur.
priced at the paucity of the precedents which were
adduced to prove the ineligibility of a Prieft to fit.
in that Houfe; the cafe had feldom been brought
to trial, for there teemed ever to have exifted the
fullell convidion on the rubjed. It was obvious to
every man that a woman was ineligible to fit in
that Houfe, yet if the queftion fhould be difputed,
the Gentlemen on the other fide, who had in this
inftance fo much ftickled about precedents, may
boldly challenge any man to produce a recorded
document of Parliament, declaring a woman in-
eligible. Their rex would not be a good ground of
objedion, for by Law women were eligible to a&
in many &nations which in pradice they never at.
fumed. A woman might by leave accept the Of-
fice of a Conftable. Having no doubt of the ineli-1
gibility of a Prieft to occupy a feat in that Houfe,
it might be afked why he fhould vote for the motion
of his Right Hon. Friend, and in oppofition to that
of the Noble Lord which only aliened his prin-
ciple ?—he would anfwer, that he did fo becaufe
there was a precedent in the cafe of Mr. Rufhworth,
and if that cafe fhould be contrafted with the mode
of deciding propofed by the Noble Lord, future
Committees on a fimilar fubjed would be liable
to embarrafment, and he therefore would content
to poftpone the difcuffion, in order that the Bill
propofed by his Right Honourable Friend might
be introduced, and by fatisfadorily fettling this
difpnted point, mark out a clear and diftina line
on all fuck occafions ; and alto evince to the coun-
try that this proceeding was not dk'tated by any
party fpleen, as had been infinnated, but the re-
tuft of a ftrong cotrvidion of the propriety of con-
fining the Clergy to the proper line of their duty.
Mr. Hummel MAJOR (poke in favour of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer's motion.
Lord TEMPLE replied : he raid he flood in the
fingular predicament- of being oppofed by thofe
who fupported the principle of his motion, and
oppofed by the other fide of the Houfe, in the un-
derftanding that a Bill was to be brought in to ef-
tablifh the principle that a Prieft was not eligible.
He contended that the motion of the Right lion.
Gentleman, if adopted, would go to admit that
Mr. Horne Tooke was eligible to fit in that Houfe.
The CHANCELLOR of the ExcnEVER explained,
that his objet was to deprecate a batty decifion
on an important queftion. He propofed to tub-
ftitute for the Motion that the Orders of the Day
fhould be read, a Motion for the previous quef-
tion—Agreed to.
The Houfe divided on the motion for the pre-
vious queftion : For it 94—Againft it 53—Majo-
rity 41.
The other orders of the day were deferred, and
the Houfe, at half pall two o'clock [this morning,]
adjourned to the afternoon.

A letter from Rome, dated April ty, fiys,
"The French have marched ty,ooo men into that

the Gulph of Tarento, as agreed in a particular
article of the treaty of peace : the French troops,

the March of Ancona and the Duchy of Urbino.
It is even hoped, that the troops will occupy only
the oily of Ancona, and will not exceed xsoo men.
This arrangement has been made in confequence
of the extreme fcarcity which prevails in the States
