The proceedings of both Houses of Parliament last
night, will afford consolation to those who have felt
alarm for the security if Protestant Ascendancy in this
country, and will excite strong hopes that their cause is
not yet lost. Some of the most respectable of the Right
Reverend the Bishops, and of the most infleential Port,
still remained true to their faith, and the constitution;
and many powerful and sensible Members of the House
4$ Commons, declared their determination to oppose,
by every peacticable mean', the hateful osemures which
are in contemplation. Even a near relation of Mr.'
Pam, in a neat and able speech, declared his oppositionll
to them; and the numerous Petitions presented to the,
House against concession to the Roman Catholics, fur.
niched ar pretty strong proof of what the feeling of the
country already is upon the subject. These Petitions.
however, be it recollected, were prepared before
tl e people were aware that the danger was at hand.
—Whets it is known in every part of the kingdom
that the Ministry have actually given way, and that
she principle of out Constitution is on the very point of
tieing abandoned, then we'are sure that thousands and
tins of thousands will come forward, and in strong and
firm language petition for the preservation of their sa.
cted lust tutibiss. The voice of the people must Leaf-!
Aendedtor and they may, rest assured That if it.appenm

Citis:iss of England are. as we conscientiously belies?,

admission of -Roman Catholics to political powerobe,
Peers of England and his most gracious MAJaetvwil)
put an end at once to all measeres. which will tend, to
break down the principle so firmly established at the,
glorious Revolution, that our Constitution is ertclasistely
and idmisady Protestant.

. .
Mr.o!Counr.t.t. has published a very Oahe*. it
view of all the laws in existence which bear upon the
quessien of bis eligibility to sit in Parliament; and
Mr..Suonew has also published a very lengthy opinion;
drawn front the same materials, that a Roman Catholic
cannot sit in'the House without taking the oaths usually
administered. The general opininii of Lawyers is, that
Mr. O'Cimusu. has not established his point; and that
Mr. 8134113211 has. at the same time, failed in Making the
question as plain at be might have done. Both these
Gentlemen, however, might have saved themselves all
this tionbie. The question will not be settled by their
special but by the custom of Parliament.
Wlpeever.double meaning may be wished from the va-
limas Acts, their evident intention, in accordance with
the spirit of the. Constitution, was to exclude Catholics
from Parliament. They have ban so construed for,
up lards done hundred and fifty years, and this long
practice of Parliament is now the law of Parliament;
sad such being the east. 'Mr. Moves:AA deign Willi
