PARIS, MAtten s.
'The Diario 'di Roma brings news from that capital
its the 26th of-litbryary. The preliminary ceremonies
of .the Conclave have been celebrated with pomp. The
GovernrnehtikAs received nothing which can confirm
the reports of revolt and sedition with which the Jour-
nals hare amused the public.
A Journal of this uslrning says--,4 That an extraor•
dinary courier, who arrived on the 7th at Paris. was tile
bearer of dispatches, announcing that his Majesty the
King of Sardinia was dangerously ill."
We are aothori%ed to declare, that letters wholly
worthy of credit, which left Turin on the 4th at elm*
o'clock at night, and which arrived at Paris at six o'clock
yesterday evening, announce, on the contrary, that his
Msjesty the King of Sardinia enjoyed as n:ual very
good health.

LordAUCK LA ND saldbe was requested by a Noble Lord,not
then in his place, to state that it was his Intention to present to-
morrow the atonal Petition of the Roman Catholics of Ireland,
praying for the removal of an civil and religious disabilities—.We

and before his Lordship had finished giving the notice. the Mar-
qtds of Lanselown entered the House. which occasioned a mai-
degable 4WI.

Us Dike of RICHMOND presented Petitions against grant-
*" briber Concessions to the Roman Catholics from Sherbourne,
and another place in Yorkshire.—Ordered to lie on the tat*.
The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL presented a Petition from the
Pmehyteriatis of a parish its the county of Antrint against granting
limber Concessions to she Homan Catholics. The Nobly Rol
mid be had received a letter from the persons by whom the Ped-
dem had been communicated to bins, in which it was stated that
$9 out of 100 of the Presbyterians of the north of lieland were
&Madly averse to Catholic Concessions. He would also tale
that opportunity of stating, that he bad receive(' infatuation that
the Catholic Association intended to evade the laws enacted for
their suppression, and that already they bad held several meetings
in Ireland under another name. What did all that show, but that
the agitators were not saddled even now, and that they had other
views and other designs ia contemplation? He felt perfectly con.'
tinted that the mange introduced by his Majesty's Government
would, instead of tranqpillasiug, cause still greater agitation and
disturbance in Ireland; and, fur his own part, connected as he was
with that country, he could no longer expect to pass his days in
peace and quietness. He feared the consequences would yet be
telt in a mariner hitherto nut anticipated.
The Petition, which was skilled by 1,000 individuals, was then
laid oa the table.
The Earl of GOSFORD could not agree with the Noble Earl
in what be bad stated respecting the sentiments of so great a ma•
jority of the Presbyterians of Ireland upon the question of Ceiba-
1M Emancipation. That a considerable portion of them were of
that opinion he was aware; but of this be felt quite satisfied, that,
taking the Protestant Dissenters as a body, the great proportion of
them were anxious that the question should be brought to a satis-
factory issue.
The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL would agree with the Noble
Earl in saying that the great proportion of tie( Socinians and the
Unitarians were favourable to the Catholic Claims; but he could
not be persuaded that the Protestaut Dissenters in general viewed
the subject in a similar light.
The heel of GO FORD took the whole of the Dissenters at one
view, and felt confident that every rational and reflecting person
sating them was to favour of Catholic Emancipation.
The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE felt, as the Noble Earl did.
isonfident that the great proportion of the Protestant Dissenters
Were decidedly hp favour of the measure introduced by his ha
jeary's Government.
The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL presented two other Pithier
koos the county of Antrim to the same effect.
• The Earl of DUULRY resented a Petition in favour of the
Catbeiic ,Claims from Wolverhampton.
Mu Earl of FALMOUTH said be bad been requested by a

Leicestershire; from Wrothans and Hainsford, in Kent; from
Sutton and Shoreham; and from a parish in Nonhamptenshlre.—
Ordered to lie oo the table.

earths, voice. The petitioners complained that all manner of
expedients were resorted to by those who had been engaged in
getting up the other petition; all descriptioas of pumas bad sapid
their names to it.
The Earl of PALMOUTH eald, he feared be should be unable
to satisfy the Neils Lead; -as he was perfectly unacquainted with
the place from whence the petition proseeded, but he felt confident
that the Noble Earl kinteelf would be able to give him every sada,
faction he required; for be was quite certain that his Noble Friend
would never present a petitioti that he was aware had been Ina

Ninth!, (Mr. Gilman, he abOuld lay that, whatever
oche disaeovhd of Dr. Tram or any other Catholic

teblication of whet was o•ivallp-called the Rhemish
Testament—thearp=and, having cut his eye over it,
be could assert that the extract from it contained in the

was a fair specimen of the opinions of the Catholic
church with respect to 'our Protestant church—(Hear).
Wheo.be observed that for a long time the most active
and artfulattempts were made to deceive the people of

Dublin. or of any other porton, in or out of that House,
or &tare's from the performance of his duty in defend-
ing the Tights of the Protestant people—(Cheers). He
was sorry to see attempts Made in that House to put
4 4WD the. eights of the penpie--(Miset cheers end cries

who thought with him, were •to be deterred from, the

'against them—(Hear). There was, he admitted, a ma-
jority of one hundred and eighty-eight; but' (said the
Hon. Member) we are not beaten; and, please GOO. we
shall fight to the last—(Loud cheering).
Sir J. BRYDGES followed on the same side. The
Hon. Bar' stet said that he would fearlessly, and con-
scientiously do his duty whatever might be the majority
against non. II the MC114310 Gutoceiorl.O•J is, Oa 170itillna

ttution would be totally subverted. With rep, cc
to. placards. he should trust his own film belief that
all those of a violeir and inflammatory nature were put
forward by the Hon. Member's (Mr. Grattan) own
party—(Hear, hear).
Mr.W.ILLACE defended the practice of scrutinising
Petitions, some of which. he said, had been gotten up
by means that de creed exposure. Were the mains icy
al the persons who petitioned the House on the que.tion
competent to forma judgment on it? In fact, it was
most dangerous to icier abstract questions of policy to
'the multitude; it would be worse than the worst mea-
sure oftetoim—a rose even than universal suffrage.
Mr, LEUH KECK would admit that the H. use had
passed many a weary hour in receiving Petitions, but
regretted that those documents were not crewed in a
More constitutional manner on discussion.. He could
1114411 e the House that their proceedings on this mo-
mentous question were watched by the public with the
greatest anziety. It had been complained in a letter
to him by ODD a his constituents, that the Petitions
coating from that portion of the people opposed to the
Catholic Claims were received in that House with in.i.
dams censures and unfounded obloquy. He entreated
the House to pause and consider what must be the feel-
ing of thopublictuwards the House if they learn that
their Petitions continue to be so unfavourably received,
to unconstitutiUnally treated. Though much time
Misfic be nett:smelly occupied in receiving the Petitions
of the people, he hoped the House would, in future,
teat them in a spirit mote constitutional than that
which had been lately displayed by. Honourable Mem-
bers—(Cfieers
• Mr. ft. COt.BORNE denied that the petitions were
iecpteperly treated by the llowo. In fact, there never
ots* time when mote petitions were received an d
mote et isely attended to. It would however, pet hap',
be the better plan not to cavil at petitions in general,
because iotne might have been improperly got up, as
it cu old riot be denied that petitions had been impro-
perly repined on both sides of the question.
. Captain mumn expressed his thanks to the Hon.

that he had teconinicnded to the House in reference to
. the discussion of petitions. He had ever opposed Ca-
tholic Eniancspotion, and he should continue to oppose
it in the honest discharge of what be felt to be his duty
to himself and his country. As to the late change of
• that had taken place in the minds to some Gen-
tlemen. he could not but express his decided disappro-
bati"n of it. They appeared to have turned round at
the beck of a finger held up by a single individual.—
That was a weathercock system which would never in-
&tenet him.

present against any further concessions to the Roman
Catholics. His Hon. Freud (Sir Hens y Smyth) presented
ten petitions from different parts of the connty'of Essex
against further concessions last night, and in the early
p.m of the present evening bis Hon. Friend the other
Member for Essex, had presented three Petitions. Hr (Sr'
E Has vey) had just returned from the Assizes, .nd hadan
opportunity of learning the opinion entertained on the
subject under discussion amongst the most respectable
and wealthy inhabitants of the county of Essex. He could
assure the House that very generally, and with few excep-
tions, the inhabitantspf the county he had the honour of
representing were decidedly opposed to the Bill now in
progress, and that they conceived the proposed copeck-
.ions were extremely dangerous to the Established
Church and Institutions, as at present constituted. The
tientlemen of the county of Essex, too, he could assure
the House, were equally unanimous and decided in
their opinion as to the conduct of the Right Honourable
the Secretary of State for the Home Department, who
had lately departed from that line of proceeding on this
subject which he had so long avowed, and which was
so congenial to the feelings of the country, and which
he had so consistently supported for many years.—
The country now felt at a loss to conceive. boa ever,
upon what principles of accommodation or convenience
the Right Honourable Gentleman consented to belong
to a Government which, by advising his Majesty to
assent to the admission of It.nian Catholics to the Le-
gislature, had taken such a decided pan in forwarding
a nseassure which he (Sir E. Harvey) believed would
lead to the destruction of the Constitution—(Hear). He
regretted that the persons now in the confidence of bis
Majesty were not more remarkable for. their political
consistency. This ground be knew bad been so beaten
and so much traversed, that he should not trespass on
the House with any further observations. The Hon.
Baronet then presented Petitions from Rochfort. Cold-
horton, and' See oti,er places in the county of Essex,
against any further concessions to the Roman Catholics.
Mr. LENNARD was sorry that the Hoo.Member for
Essex had taker, upon himselt to represent the gentry
of Es as to be decidedly averse to the propose.! mea-
sure. The most. extraordinary pains were taken to get
up anti-Catholic Petitions in Essex ; and in almost every
parish the Churchwardens and Clergymen were put in
requisition. He regretted that the Honourable and
Gallant Admiral should have thought it necessary to
take the decided part he had taken on this subject in
the absence of the other Member for Essex.
Mr. LESTER said be bad that day received slitter from
Chelmsford, and that he understood the and-Catholic feeling which
existed in that part of the country was greatly dindoished.
Sir E. HARVEY said, be had stated what, in his opinion, was
the feeling of the county he represented on this occasion. As to
the course be bad adopted. be beded to say that he was only
responsible to his own mind, and to his coostkuents, for his political
canduct—(Hear, hear).
Mr. WODEHOOSE presented Petitions from Walsineham,
from Old Wahiligham, and from Moulton, in the county of Norfolk,
against any further concessions to the Roman A:echo/ice. The Hon.
Member said that the petitions were signed by two Magistrates,
and were otherwise most respectably signed. He believed they ,
not only expressed the sentiments of the petitioners but of many
others. He regretted, however, that be (Mr. Wosiehome) could
not concur with the petitiouets.
Mr.MA RSH A LL presented a Peddon from Tadeaster, in favour

the subject of the Irish Church Establishment. As the Hen. Mem-
bet (Mr. S. Rice) was slut now is the House, he (Mr. Harvey)
would defer soaking .ny obseribitions on the subject wen a future
opportunity. The Hon. Member then gave nodes that to.morrow
be would move for Returns connected wish the Courts et Law at
Westminster. end with the Court of Chancery.
