PIE SENT STAY/ OF IRELAIID.

Colonel Hurcultisow, purfoant to a former no-
tice, rare and addreffed the Houfe nearly to the fol-
lowing elle& :—" Sir, while I contemplate with in.
finite pleafure, the numerous and vigorous exertions
of Parliament, in the prefent momentous crifis of
public affairs, in order to enable his Majelty to avail
Ittimfelf completely of his Royal prerogative of ea!!.
ing forth the energetic affillance of his liege ftibjeas,
in defence of the realm, (meafures which no man can
more highly approve than myfelf) I cannot forbear
the impulfe I feel, it. calling the attention of this
Hance, and of the Government of the Country, to
the peculiarly unhappy Rate of one part of his Ma
jelly's United Kingdom. I ant far from feeling my.
fell difpnfed to agree with an Hon. Gentle Iran who
fpoke Lill night, in &foaling the fubjeft of Volun-
teers, when he oblerved, that new was the time which,
in his opinion. Parliament might feparate, lushly latis-
fied as to the completion of their ohjett, in placing
the Country in a (late of fcctitity againft the enemy,
in every point of view. However thoroughly I may
be convinced that we are now in an extraordinary
Rate of preparation for refilling the hollile attempts
of our implacable 4nd revengeful enemy, however
powerful that enemy may be, yet I never can confent
to fay, that we have yet done every thing which is ne-
caul for the inte,mtl welfare of the Empire, fo long
as that part of the United Kingdom, called Ireland,
continues in the clephorable and mil.•rabe Date in
which it now ic. I have repeatcd:y caked the atten-
tion of hie NINO y's Min.llers and this Houk. to the
critic 41 And unletticd Oete• of Ireland, in order that
the tunterom wants and dente' of that peopic maybe-
crime get orally known; and in order that the necelEty
of a ed y and a radical reme•!v for the evil, esitl•
ing iii tha• t'ountry, may force itfelf upon the atten•
tion of !Lore bell • .rictilated to ltrengthen the Empire,
and put it hrtond the reach of aggrrfii• n, richer from
t,,rOgn or it. terttal tnemy. 1 (hail nct now cuter upcn

the 14.,:,:nerits I entcrtai a as to that Union betwixt
t..:t.a..Co6ntlies ; hut, at events, I may fay this
man. h, :lint it is my moat fin•:eie delire to reti-!er that
Union the parent of unanimous and loyal lentiments
in re gar i to our Con Oritioo, and not the our er•
ines..s to isevoititiAi. I do not with, at
relent, to aecide Parliament of any want of atten-
r;..-ai to the welfare and nappinv is of the People of I re•
Lind ; bus, Sir, I t eel it to I e nay Jute, en declare me
:ficappionation of a certain rcr ccptiVie degree of de-
lay and on the t of Chivernment, in I e-
gard to that Country, uhich, I kat, if much longer
per in, will contribute to the downfalf of that part
of the United Kingdom. I (hail not now enter into
a lnng detail of the prei.inst lit nation of that Country,
in order to intereli Gentlemen in its behalf; nor (hall
I commence a long hilforical narra•ion of its former
condition, in order to convince them that the period
which fira united the one Country with the other, was
one which was looked In with pride and nfientation,
as fecuring the interefts, the hearts, the property, and
even the lives of every individual in this Country.
While we enjoy more real bleilings under our happy
Conflitution than any other people on the Globe;
while our liberties and our properties are fecured,
are his Majefly's Minitlers to imagine that they dial.
charge their duty to Ireland, by going on in their
beaten track, without adopting fume means for bet-
tei:ng its ruination ? Bad, boss-ever, as it at prefent
is, I can liars to you, with come degree of plealurer
that the condition of Ireland is far more pure& now
than it was in 168 S. Our Statute Book is no longer
difg,raced with penalties to the breach of every focial
virtue. Ignorance does not now prevail to filch an ex-
tent as formerly ; and no man is now perfecuted on
account of his religious principles. For filch bleffings,
the people of Ireland were indebted to the pattintic
exertions of Parliament, and to the benevolent kind.
nefs and parental care of our beloved fovereign. For
thefe blellings. fo conferred by the Union, I am here
to return my moll unfeigned thanks,on the part of my
Country, to which I am molt fincerely devoted : but
I mutt lay that the people, in that Country, are
not yet united amonga themfelves ; without which
kind of union, difcord, rnifei y, and difcontent, mutt'
continue to be their moll lamentable portion. In order
to make the beneficent effects of the Union take deep
root amongil us, there mull he no dillinflinn known
betwixt Irifhmen and Englifhmen. According to
that fublime code of laws which unites man to man,
the fttttatinn of that people mill be firietly invefligat-
ed. Though there is no country where there are
more brilliant examples of attachment on the part of
the rids towards the poor, yet the wants of the poor
man in that part of the kingdom are very great in-
deed. If the Houfe cannot be convinced of the miler-
able and wretched radiation of that people. it might
fend an Ambatladur In enquire into the truth of my
airertions. I am convinced that if fuch an Embafry was
let on foot, the Ambalredor would not there find any I
hofiilehandlifted up againft him by the poor who would
receive him with gladnefs,as coming for the purpofe of
enquiring into their wants and mifet ies. Ireland can-
not be compared to any other country, becaufe there
are vaR properties belonging to people who conflantly
refide in this country ; (is that the tenants never
know their landlords but by name. This evil ought
;o be remedied, by compelling fome branch of thole
families who are in polrcfrion of great dilates, to re-
fide in that country, if it is intended to fecure Ire-
land and make the mat of her. As to the danger
which threatens this part of the United kingdom, for
my part, I am not difpofed to imagine it In great as
it is reprefented : but as to Ireland. I think the danger
is confisferable, and therefore fome effedual means
ought to be adopted, in order to fecure it. As to com-
mercial concerns, I do not think that Ireland has any
ground to complain, every thing having been done in
that refpeft which could be wifhed. Until fome enquiry
has been fet on foot, concerning the wants and mi-
feries of the poor in Ireland, and fome remedy
adopted, I fay, that the Imperial Parliament will
not have done its duty. I abhor the idea of Go-
vernment having recourfc to (bedding of blood. to
prevent fuel' unhappy Rebellions in Ireland. That
is ifyilem which entails difcord ameingil the great
mars of the people, and weaknefs in confequence of
difcord. The inhabitants of Ireland are, and have
been for fix hundred years pall, a people not yield-
ing in any Ipecies of talent to any country upon
earth ; however much fuels country might be
marked by felfilh conceit, or dignified by fplendour,
or wealth. But, above all, let me not be infulted
by an atiftver, that we have not the power to re-
form grievances. I will not turn over the page
of hiftory for millions of precedents as to Poch re-
formation : I need only remind Government of its
lea aft of power in producing the union of the two
coundies: that too, was a circumflance which was
at one time imagined impollible. , It was remarked,
in 1782, by Lord Auckland, now a Noble Peer. that
the Ninth Parliament might as loin attempt to make
die River Thames flow over Higlig:.te hill, as to
make Ireland have any thing but a Parliament of
their own. I lament that there lhould be any dif
fetenee of opinion in regard to what ought to be done
on behalf of the people orb eland. I appeal to thelfound
judgment of thislinufe; I appeal to men,whil ought to
be dive.leJ of all prejudices, and who ought to eon fo
dcr the moil effeaual means of relieving that people
(whatever may be their views) from their misfor-
tunes and from their full-clings. In the prefent Rage
of the Seflion, I lhall tint trouble the Houle further,
and fbould not have fii:d fo much at this particular
time, had not the peculiar Rate of Ireland, and the
urgency of the tyre, required lonic immediate notice
to be taken of it in this Honk. I cannot refrain from
cxpreiling my difepprobation of that algid adherence
to prociailinatirso; its to this liihjeft, which has all
along been obfel red by his hlajelay's blii,ideis, and
moreefpecially at the time when they fhould have :Vied
upon a centraey lylieni. At the time when the Union
was effefted between Eritain and Ireland,
I am bound, as an Englifliman to fay, that lone
meafures ought then to have been adopted ; and I
am inclined to ltopnfe, that the Knitter who then
preficied, really meant to aft up to that Union. If
that Right Hon. Gentleman had no Inch intentions,
I mull lay that he LAC inure to :rawer for to Gno
than any other !slinitier aihat•;ver. Suppeifing, then,
that the Right Hon. GentLuain to whom I allude,
friw the propriety of doing more in regard to Ireland,
than. merely •effefiing the Union, it was then the
duty of our iktinil:,:rs to follow up his plans, or to
adopt tneafutes of lar;r own, in miler to compleat
the happinefs *Lich was cxreftcd to .c.talt (rota that

iiinelion. muff he roach mitlakcn inciter:,
t they natter themilves that th-.! mere att of Union
has produced all the happy effens which the Conni-
union of this Country mini)! i-itrorii. Under all the
circumllances nt nor pref2nt lituatain, I cannot think
that any particular measures can be adopted at preterit,
to ameliorate the slate of that pact of the United
hing-
Jom, however desirable an immediate amelioration
may be. As we ate now about to prorogue, I only
chlire that any future delay on this fillijett may be as
(hurt as poffible, and that his Majetly's Milliners may
be ready to meet us here againti nest Seltirin of Par-
liament, fully prepared to enter upon the fulfilment
of this important ['linnet's. Were it deemed adrift-
able to lend into Ireland a Noble Branch of the Roy-
al Family, I mean the Heir apparent to our Throne,
who is diiiinguithed by every princely endowment,
filch a million would be attended with the happieft
effects. I am convinced that tlia7 'Unlit ions Perron-
age would willingly forego all the bleffings of his
fituation in his own country, for the purpose of vifit-
ing the nakednefs of that land In nearly conneEted
with the interefis of Britain, with his own eyes be-
hold the miferies of that people, and with his own
lips repeat their wants to his Royal Father. I fay,
that there would not be a tingle man in Ireland who
would not rally round the Royal Prince, to cell him
that they had often heard of Princes coming into
their country as tyrants and oppretfors of the human
race, and to exprefs their joy in beholding him dome
amongn them in the capacity of a Peace maker, to
bury their complaints at the foot of the Throne. Such
are the prefent emergencies of the State, aad the
Public have a right to demand the ntmoft exertions
of that illultrions Perfonage ; and it will he difficult
to determine whether he is now holding birnfelf back,
or is held back by others, from coming forward ar
this eventful cribs, When I myfelf, as one or his
Majelly's fubjetts, am employed almoft every morn
ing and night, in attending to military affairs for the
defence of my Country, and think that I have a right
to fee the Heir of the Crown come forward regard-
lefs of the danger, and by his noble example, encou-
rage the military exertions towards the general de-
fence, I (tumid firppofe that fume e genius was lay•
ing a plan to dellroy the popularity of that illstliti•
nus Perfonage. by not allowing him to come forward
to encourage the mafs of the people. It is impoffible
to deferibe the enthrifiafm which would prerail in
Iceland, were that Royal perfon to appear in Ireland
at the head of an army. It is poffible that, during
the reeds of Parliament, Irelans'. may continue to be
dintirbed by temporary rebellions. At the fame
time that I advife his Majelly's Minifters to have
the flrongelt and vigilant government there, (for too
arcing and vigilant in that place it cannot be), I
Should propofe that they fhould fend off to-morrow
the molt pofitive orders that the Government, and
every perfon who ads egaintt the rebels, fhould tinc-
ture all their silts with humanity. I know the zeal
and loyalty of that country, but I alfo know that
there are men there, the moil loyal and moll zealous,
who would not hefitatate to rebel, were fuch harffi,
rigorous, and cruel meafures adopted by Government
as during lag war. If there be any trait more pro-
minent than another in the excellent charatterof the
Right Hon. Gentleman oppofite to me (Chancellor
of the Exchequer) I am convinced that it is huma-
nity. I entreat that Right Hon. Gentleman to attend
particularly to this lubjetl, and while he nth' with
firmnefs, to temper it with his humanity. I know that
in Ireland, from the apprehenfion of what happened
during the rebellion of lan war, there are families
actually in a Rate of diffraelion, for fear the people
fhould be treated in the fame manner that was pur-
fued at that time, and woul I rather content to leave
the country, than run the rifk of becoming witneffes
again to a repetition of the like enormities. When
Lord CorMwallis landed in Ireland, his mild Govern-
ment was marked with the wisdom of a good Statef
man, the firmnefs of a foldier, and with the huma-
nity of an enlightened mind. On the whose, Sir, I
do not doubt, that when it (hall become the fathion
of this Houle to take up the dircullion of the fituation
of Ireland, and to produce remedies for increafing
evils, the will become an honour to this Country. As
a preparatory means of that difcrinion coming for-
ward, I Bull conclude with moving, That an hum
ble Addrefs be prefented to his ,sl;.Telly, humbly re
quelling his Majetty to dirt& that there be laid before
this Houle fuch information as has been received
concerning Inflate rebellious Rate of Ire: cod, and the
prefent fittration of that part of the United Kingdom.'
Lord Ha witcssuele.—.. Sir, I rife to male a few
obfervations on what I have jug now heard. I real-
ly think that the fpeech, or fort of ground which the'
Honourable Gentleman has laid for his motion,
Teems to me to preclude the neceffity, and even the
power of entering much into the quell inn, or endea
vnuring to tonne& the fpeech and the motion tele-
ther. It may nut be regular to allude to the partifii-
lar period of the &Rion in which we now are, but
confi 'ering the neceffities of the country, confidering
the meafures going on abroad, and the preparations
which Parliament thought proper to adopt at home,
together with the urgent necellity of every Gentle•
man of this Houle going to that part of the country
where his pretence is rendered reqiiilite. I mull fay,
that to bring forward any meafure which was not to
have an immediate, prattical. and beneficial effeCt—
which may keep Parliament fitting longer at preterit
than it is intended,would be attended with very ferious
mil-chiefs. Had the Honour able Member been able
tri friggen any remedy for the evils he complains of,
I would afk hint whether, in the.prefent fituatiim of
the country, it would be pollible to enter into Inch
invelligations, and to adopt meafures that would
have the defired etre& ! As to a motion entirely
confined to information upon this Inbjett, I am at a
lots to perceive any beneficial tendency to be pro.
diced by it ; it can lead to tin parliamentary con-
elution in the precept Seaion. Having Paid this
much on the motion, I Shall certainly fay very little
, on the general topics of the Honourable Gentleman's
Speech. I do not pretend to be able tic determine
what may have been the former Rate, or what the
prefent crindition cif Ireland ; I only know from hif.
tory, and the general obfcrvation of eine who has
been taking the deepen interen in that part of the
kanpire. But, with rcfpeti to its Government, Of
which 1 can, he documents, procure information, I
think it is unhinging political affairs, unleti the re
medy can be timed, and if any prattical one •.ad been
propofed, I Should have adopted it. I apply this as
a general maxim ; let him who mentions the evil
produce the remedy, And then let cs 4ecide uppn

t!,tt rete%dy. This is a general &Shine, and, ;f
there ever was a time when it 11n not be deviated
front, it is turely the prefent. We ought all to com-
bine itgainit the common enemy, and not be emalne.
tag onrielecs in dilcutfing matters to which we can.
adminiller any immediate remedy. I do frankly,
declare, that, at this moment, the whole energies of
the country ought to be prefared to fupport the
Conflitation againit all enemies foreign and domeflic.
Such a motion as the prefent, is, I think, pregnant
with every evil, inilead of being pregnant, as it
ought to be, with every good. Under thefe circa-al-
liances, I cannot have the Leal diffictilty in flying.
that the Hon. Gentleman feems to have been in-
duced to bring forward this motion, from the prefent
Situation of the Houle, there being fo few Member,
to hear and difctifs it. Indeed, I mull repeat, that
Pock difcudior.s, when no practical good is likely to
mile from them, would lead to evil confequenees.
Sir W. ELLIOTT, in relenting to the late mini-ac-
tions in Ireland, declared that the Itifh Government
mull have had information relative to the late conlpi-
racy long before it was made generally known to the
public. Perfons, who had good infstrmation from
the country, knew that in many parts the people
eyen left their work, which was a certain fign of
approaching tumult. The infurreaion alfo was
quelled almoß as loon as it appeared ; but it was
principally fuppreffed by the exertion; of a corps of
Yeomanry or Volointeers, celled the Liberty Ran-
gers. Would Ireland fay, or could the Members of
that Houle lay their hands nn their hearts, and lay.
that they had done their duty ? He then adverted to
the ciretimflance of military fpies beiq in Ireland,
undet the appearance of commercial cornmillioners.
That he thought was a eirciimftance ‘shich lhould
have occafioned fome precaution. He then pointed
out the great importance of Parliament continuing
its fellion under the important circumnances of the
prefent crifis, and concluded by entering his protelk
agaiol their reparation.
Lord CASTIAREAGII entered into a very rninnte
account t;fthe tranfations which have taken place in I
Ireland, And defended the conduit of the Irilh Go-
vernment, from the time of Lord Camden's Lord
Lieutenancy to the pi er.att moment. He then re=
verted to the foundation which his flajelly's Mi.
nißers had for bringing forward, and the Honfe had
for palling the two Bills which lately miffed, with a
view to the foppreflion of rebellion ; they had a met:
Page from the Throne in the brig cafe, and they had.
in addition to that, time prod:m.l6(in of the Lord
I.ieutenant of Ireland. ligned by the Lord Chancel-
lor and twenty Privy Conofellors of Ireland. Any
Gentleman who knew any thing refpeeting the City
of Dublin. mull be aware that they had in general a
very fleong guard mounted in that City, and that
they had Aft) very large barracks, which in general
contained a great number of tiotips. On the day
the infurreetion broke out, the guard was doubled.
and there were near 3000 men in the hat racks ready
to atria them whenever it finitild be thought necetfary
to call them out. The Honourable Gentleman,
furely, would not have the Gnvernment to have
drawn out their'whnle force from the barracks, and
paraded the greets before any infurrtainn appeared.
The charge which he had brought againll the-Irifh •
Pwliament for having paired a Bill of Indemnity for
Magillrates, he contended, was tptally futile, as '
every cafe of indemnity tinder that tiA was a jori
aide, and they were to afcertain how far the maga-
tratos had aiffed correAly, with a kill and loyal en-
deavour to hipprefs rebellion, or hole far they might I
have aged from malice, that is in a legal knife, hove
far the reahas embalm appeared in the tranfaelion on
which they were to decide ? He concluded with a
glowing defcription of the rapid Ilrides of the ma-
llet-icy of Irclanal for is years pall.
lA:WINDHAM, at very confide/table length, fop.
potted the krgumants of his Honourable Friend (Sir
W. Elliott) arid contended that whether the frith Gd•
vet nment; in the late intitrreflion, were fur prized or
not, they were equally criminal. For if they were
?prized of the 44'm-ref-lion, they mete criminal in
not being prepared to refill it, as it was obvious they
•were not ; and it they trete not apprized of it; ther
were equally erimi-al, for not attending to the corn•
munications of thnfe who law what was going for-
ward, but whole admonitions were treated with in-
attention and contempt, until the very moment when
the mine which had been to long digging under their
feet was ready to burn under them Having dwelt
•with much larcafm on this point, Mr. Windham
Said, the condoel of the Irith Government was pre-
cifely of the fame type and chaiaeler with that of the
Government in England. They too were lulled in
fecurity—they too were indifferent to all fettle of ad•
monition and danger t they endeavoured to lull the
country into the fame confidence of perfea peace and
urity that they themfclvcs vainly imagined. Every
man who attempted to route them and the country
to a fettle of its danger, was conlidered as an alarmi:l,
And a troublefome fellow, until the moment %hen
the country was nearly est:nick', defencelefs, to the
attack of a formidable enemy. They theii proceed=
ed to roufe the fpirit of the country by appealing to
its fears, and magnifying thole dangers which thee
before affeAed to difbelicve and defpile, and by this
means to pullpone meaftires of (rem ity fo long, that
utileis the enemy poßmines his attack much beyond
the time projcEled, the fafety of this county is ex-
tremely problematical. Mr. Windham went over
much of his old ground, in the centime of Miniftert,
and concluded by voting for the motion.
Sir RODSRT Wiztratts raid the hill, Gnvernment
were not taken by fureriee; that, on the evening :r
the the infurredinr, eley were appriled of the event, 1.1
they had doubled all the paid-, and h id .1 power-
ful garrifun under arms. He laid, he was liven
years an Aid-du-Camp in that count: y, and nescr
knew an inllance of the guards having been doubled.
Colonel Cot., contended, that the hilis Govern-
ment had been extremely reprebentible, in. not at•
tending to the commtinications of the Gentlemen a
the country.
The CNANCrLLOR of the ETCHICLVER Said. he at-
tributed mitch.of the farcafm and alperity which had
been direiled against his Mi.;.ily's Mittiyers that
night, by a Right Hon. Gentleman opputite to hint,
to the forenefs he felt in conlemance of the refuta-
tion he received upon a former might, when lie (the
Chancellor of the Exchequer) bad the honour of
Houle
bringing down to the Hon lime Meffage from 11,,
Miajeßy which had been t!.is night alluded to. The
Hon. Gentleman, and his Finn. Ft iensl near him (Sim
W. Elliott) had fa.d, that the SLICAtiIiCA

tude and %igour towards It eland, which he had itt,ft
relalantly fe t the necelfity of tunprding, were
hdopted by the Houle without fufficient information
Being laid before them by his Majelly's Miniffers.—
But he &fired to know, if The cut mun7cation made
Ig a Mirage front the King, infotruing the Houle
that a rebellion had broken out in Ireland, vris not
of itfelt a fufficient document to warrant the Houle
in founding the measure which it had wifely.adopted,
even without the aid of another authentic docament
which he had laid on the table of the H(,:tre before
even be propoled the mealures allud2d to, namely,
a Ploclamation figned :it Dublin, the fettle of incur-
re&ioti, by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and 10
Privy Counfellors, fluting that a retie lions infurrec•
tion h.:,1 broken out, and offering a reward for the'
appreltenlion of tht murderers of Lord Kilwarden,
Majelly"‘ Chief Jaliee of the King's Bench, who
bad ftllen the Bra viaitn of that rebellion ? Would
the Riglit Hon. Gentleman fay theft were not fuffi•
cient document., betides thenotoiety of the faEl,

Without taking as ha prupofed twenty-four hours to
pull:: and deliberate whether he would content to
adopt any manhunt of promptitude, or even give to
Majelty the refp4.-Sful afforance that the Houle
tl-anked him for his gracious communication, and
would take it into fpeedy confideration ? He had,
however, the huisfaElion to allure the Houle, that
the promptitude with rshich the Imrerial Parliament
had adopted that mcafure, was received by the loyal
people of Ireland with moll lively gratitude, as a
mark of vigilance and protecting attention, and was
the means of infpirittg new vigour and confidence
Into every loyal bofom. Many communications were
received, all correlating to this effea ; and he would
appeal to the Hon. Friend of the Right Honourable
Gentleman (Sir V.% Elliott) if, in the many commu-
nications he had received from his fl-ends in Ireland
on that fribjed, the conaluet of the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman upon that million was not feverely cen•
fitted. It had been laid, that no amelioration had
taken place with relpeCt to Ireland, fince the palling
of the meature of Union; but he was convinced the
4 people of Ireland mull have adv.rntages, incredible
within fo dual a period, confioLting the circumltances
of that country hut two years hack. The benefits of
that meafure mull necellatily be of gradual growth ;
-but even within that period fence it was paired, the
people of Ireland had received indeed a ukful leffon.
Phey had ken their country thrive under the blef-
flogs of a Britilli Conititution, and a mild and happy
Government; while they law that nation, whole fade
liberty and chimerical happinefs they had been taught
to admire, lurk at the feet of a tyrant, and groan-
ing under a military deffintifoir It was (ale that fume
detail ought to be laid before the Houle. He mull
antwer, than fuch a thing was not necellary. No fuels
thing was done during the rebellion of 5798, al-
though feveral motions were made fur producing in-
formation. And during the years the Right Hon.
Gentleman continued a Cabinet Minifter, he had
uniformly refilled all motions for enquiry hues the
alEtirs with which the Government was conneded.—
In the cafe of the expeditien to QLciberon, in which
the feelings of the whole nation were interefled, the
Right Hon. Gentleman oFpoled a motion for an'eu•
quit y. Upon every oecafion relating to circutteßances
of public diluter, he conflantly refuted enquiry.—
At no period lice the conchifion of the late Peace,
had his Majetty's Minillert diffembled that there ex
ilted a danger in the country, which would be fatal
to the Peace itfelf, if it CV/2 not guarded againfl. On
that account, a great .naval and military ellablifh-
merit was kept on font. The Right Hon. Gentleman
then ant-red into a defence of the meafures of his
Ministers, particularly thole lately adopted.
acid defended them againli the charges of Mr. Wind-
ham. As to the quiettion now before the Houle. the
lion. Gentleman who made it could not poffibly lop-
pole it could be alted upon. This motion was de-
layed till the left day of the &Mon, although he
churl fay, that at an earlier period the produdion of
the papers moved for would have been dangerous,
A Right Hon. Gentleman profit:fed the apoonstment
of a Standing council or Committee, during the re
eels. He could only fay in :Infarct to that. that it
would be inconfillent with the rules of Pailiarnenr,
and could not take place without legiflative audios i•
ty. An Hon. Gentleman who (poke third in the de•
Mate, talked of Commercial Spies being appointed in
Ireland. The fait was, that no filch perfiaes ever
were there, for Government would not (offer them
to go to the place of their dellination.
Mr. WINDHAM (poke in explanation. •
Dr. Leweenca declared, he was highly pleated
that the Hon. Gentleman lied brought forward the
prefent motion, becauk he thought tt extremely ne
celfary for Parliament to !hen i felt vigilant for the

time would be confutned than if the Hon. Gentleman
was fofFered to gn on with hi, fpecell. At to the
meafure now before the Honk, the ',IT praflical
mode of ;al-tying it into elk& would be to vote an
Addrefe to his Majesty not to priimikiir the Parlia-
ment for fume time longer, and tlrea the Houle
would have an opts• rio it of difenCing the motion.
Ile w. or t •,oppo'i the prelim motion at any
Ter od of the Soon ; nor would he itillitirte an en-

that would be cutting up at once all fources of infer-

recommended, he de(rcd Gotleinen to tiai: caft
whether, by endeaycnlring to cnnci eat:, they were
not likely to alie:tite a great part of the loyal iiihjeets
of Ireland.

Lord Tit Otis denied that the Rebellion in Ireland
could in any refpeet be conlidtred as a religious Re-
bellion, or as a Rebellion of the Cottage againft the
Palace. If the attack lately made in Dublin by Re-
bels there, was made by furprife on the Government,
Ministers deferved to he impeached for not being
aware of, or not having known it : and if they litid
known it, he would ask why the Rebels were alloncj
even for an hour to be in arms ?

Colonel CRAU rut]) was of opinion that the !look
ought to continue fatting for a week longer, in order
to go hint the propofed enquiry. If Lritidirn id been
attacked in the manner Dublin had kien, Parli orient
would undoubtedly continue to :it. Why not extend
the fame vigilance and anxiety to the (late of Irel and
That Nlinifiers were furprized, that they had a. tzid
with fupinenefs and negledt with refpea to Ireland,
was made abundantly evident. and indeed no attempt
had been made to anfwer the laft, that were adduced
in proof of that r:tniffnefs. The enquit y fhould at
lean be gone into for the praelical advantage of (hew-
ing that the hills Government were not guilty of the
rentiffnefs imputed to them : if in reality they are not
liable to fuch a charge as to the queßion of Catholic
Emancipation, he wilhed it to be agitated. The
claims of the Catholics were founded in julliin! and
tight ; and whenever that quellicrit was brought be-
fore the Houle, it Omni(' have his moll decided fop-
port. Not only, in his opinion, lhote..l the iticapaci•
ties under which the Catholics dill laboured be re-
moved, but Vic), thould aim be relieved from the
burthen of fupporting the Protellant Clergy.
Mr. Serjzant BEST laid, the doAtine jolt advanced
by the Hon. Gentleman, was the molt dangerous he
had ever heat& It went diienly to abolith the eccle•
fistlical part of the Contlitittion. Were there
not vall numbers r f perfiins in England who differed
froth the ellahlifhed Church, and yet they all contri-
buted towards the fupport of the ellablithed Clergy ?
He therefore wifhed that the dangerous ooinion juR
advanced, fhould not go abroad without fume °bier-
vation.

Mr. ALMWDER oppofed the motion. He Paid
that a great part of the Catholics of Leland were ex
tremely well affeCted to the Government. As a proof
of which he referred Gentlemen to the loyal refolu
I tions lately :atcred into by a large body of them in
Dublin. He mull, however, acknowledge that there
were great numbers of a very low defcription, who,
fedoced by hopes of plunder, aaually looked forward
to getting into their poffelfion many elates, which
they fuppofed had in very remote periods belonged
to their ancetlon. hut ~f which they had been dept iv.
He did not conld:•r the recent rebellion as origi-
nating from notions of religion ; but was certain it
had been chiefly fomented by fccret agents from
France, which held out hopes of plunder to the de
luded multitude.

Mr. Buresitirsom in reply, animadverted with
cOnfiderabl: fescrity on the arguments adduced that
evening by Lord Cafilcreay,h. and nit the whole of
that Nobl:man's political conduft. He could not hut
repeat, when he red:fled on the fy Ilem for Tome time
adopted by him,
" 0! but man, proud mats,
Dreircil In a time Wet authority,
Plays fuels huttulti: tricks before high Velem
As make he Angels weep "
He then cansaffed Lord CAtilcreagh's condis& in the
different charadters which he alledged he had figured
in a. the champion of kith independence, the Poet
Laurent of Lord Camden's Adminittrat ion, the pane-
' Kuril of Lull Cornwallis, and the apologi II for Lord
Hardwicke. He denied that the pretent ditlrafted
(late of Ireland was to be alit ibed to the claims of the
Catholics. The rebellion of Ind originated with the
ProteriAnts and Prethyterians. He ridiculed the
affeuirm that the Catholics had any ferious intention
of obtaining polliffion of the forfeited climes of their
ance(lor►, and as a roof of the abfurdity of fuels a
fuppofition, laid that Croce Catholics had been per.
mitted to hold lands, they h.td purchafed property ot
that defcription with as little fcritple as P,otellants.
He concluded with I impreffing tin the Houle
the n .celLty of.d!voting the mot! pa:molar attention
to the removal of the grievances complained of in

The epteftion was then put on Mr. Hutch:nina's
mnti ,a, and negstived without a diviGon.
Adjourned at oue o'clock.
