eepresentadho of the University of Oxford: He knew,
• that many excellent men of learning and talent had
-*/ declared in opposition to the Right Hon. Gentleman.—
, if the matter were a subject of religious doctrine he.
would allow those reverend persons to be an excellent
tribunal to jndge the conduct of the Right Hon. Gent.
but in matters of policy, affecting the high interests and ,
questions of complicated policy, be /eras not inclined to'
pay much respect to their opinion. If the decision of
titoUniversity should accord with the opinions of those
persons, the Right Hon. Gent. would be sauteed to his
principles, as, in fact, there was no man who could
prove himself mote fitting for the representation of the
University than the Right Hon. Gent. had done by the
strength of his principles.
Mr. Secretary PEEL assured his Hon. Friend that
the oply hurt he received from hearing the extracts
from I is speech arose ftorn the regret that he had made
such a bad one on such a subject. But his Hon. Friend
would find that the arguments by (Mr. Peel) had used
on that occasion would justify him in adopting his pre-
sent line of conduct. He asked his Hon. Ft iend to look
a: the state of Irelaad—to consider whether it could go
on as it had gone—party against party, the House of
Commons divided against the Howe of Lords ? He
asked his Hon. Friend to profit by the authority of the
historian whom he had quoted. He begged to ask hit
lion.Fr lend whether (to retort on him the extracts he had
used) the spirit of religion might not be so mingled with
the spirit of faction as to Produce almost supernatural
,exult. ? and whether its effects may not less correspond
than all other consequences with the known causes ?
It was because he thought it better for the aalety of
the Protestant interests that he had taken the present
ceurse. rather than allow things to go on in then late
balanced condition. In relation to the 131 itish Catho-
lics, it was a pleasure to him, in the present altered cir-
cumstances, to reflect that, though he bad opposed
concession to the Catholics of Ireland, he had voted for
the Bill proposing to enlarge the privileges of the Cis
.tholics of Eugland. He wished his Honourable Friend
to read the principles of his (Mr. Peel's) former oppo.,
Won to concession. His Honourable Friend's rests.
tance would be more effectual if conducted on those
principles. In that speech he had avoided infiamora.
tory topics, through an unwillingness to irritate the.
Catholics when disappointed of their !lopes. When be
was now reminded of his former uniform opposition to
the Catholics, he felt a pleasure in remembering that
such a record should be placed in his hands, indicating
the temperate spirit with which he had resisted them.
Mr. TR A NT, in explanation, disclaimed any intention
of hurting the feelings of his Right lion. Friend.
Mr. HUSKISSON was not sorry to hear the speech
of the Honourable Member, as it had drawn forth the explanation
' of his Right lion. Friend. He thought that any opposition offered
by the Irish Roman Catholics, ought to be *ottened down by the
• more peaceable and quiet demeanour of the Roman Catholics of
I England.
( The Petitions were then presented in favour of the Catholic
r, Anima from Yarn', county of York; from Sheptim Mallet; from
' Reddington. county of Oxford; from Greythorn ; and front the
' Catholics of Great Britain. The latter was ordered to he printed.
Sir H. H A !WINGS presented a Petition from Stainton
against the Catholic Claims. The Gallant Member briefly declared
be did not agree with the petitioaers in their prayer.
Sir H. HARDIN GFt gave notice of his intention to move the
Army Estimates lu the Committee of Supply on next Friday.

him the last man in the country to be capable of such conduct. He
considered the Nobk Duke to have deceived both Catholics and
Protestants.
Mr. FYI ER moved for a Return of the quantity of silk articles
or articles made of mixed silk, and of raw, thrown or manufactured
silks, imported between Stb January, 182$, and Sib January,lssB,
speeifylog the different kinds, the countries they were imported
from and the duties paid on them.
11/1 C. 6 RA NT suggested that these words might be added to the
Return—" and actually talons out of warehouses for coosumptiou."
Mr. FY LER made no objectioo to the addition proposed.—
Return ordered.
Mr. TENNYSON postponed indefinitely his motion on the
Borough of East ltetford.
The Report ou the outstanding Exchequer Bills Discharge Bill
was brought up.
In answer to a question by Sir J. Waorriniev,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that there
was no increase of Exchequer Bills sent into the market beyond
the sum of 79,0001. incurred for the expense of public works.

The Report on this Hill, according to the Order of the Day, was
taken into further consideration.
An amendment was made declaring it a misdemeanour for any
one to compel, procure, or solicit any one to coottibute to the fund
wiled the Catholic Rent.
Several other verbal amendments were made, and it was carried
that the Bill should be reported with the amendments.
On the question that the Report should be received,
Colonel SI 13THORPE wished to know on what day it was the
intention to introduce the Bill fur a repeal of the laws respeeting
the Boman Catholic;?
Mr. PEEL said that it was not his intention to glee any notice
of the introduction of the Bill to which the Hon. Member alluded
until the Bill now before the House should be passed into a law.
When that was effected, he would give the lion. Member the in-
formation which be required.
Colonel SI IiTHORPR said he had asked the question because
he thought that ignorance with regard to the time would, if possi-
ble, add to the surprise and hostility which at present existed
through the country.
The Report was then received, and the Dill ordered to be read
a third time to-morrow, and then engrosaed.
The House adjourned at Rustic O'CLOCC.

It is gratifying to find that a settlement of the long
pending claims on the Court of Spain for akin seques-
trations and spoliation' sf British property, doting a
long petind of years, has at length been effected by the
firmness of the Noble Lord at the head of the Foreign
Department, upon terms which, though far from fully
indemnifying the claimants, cannot but be-considered
as satisfactory, when the evasions of that Court, and
11" proverbial reluctance to make re►titution, are taken
ia►o account. Of the £900,000, which it has been agreed
