when he considered that the House stood pledged to
enter into the merits of the qnestion, and to fool-it)
decision upon. grounds of which it had long' been in
„
possession: Delay wouldl in his opinion, be highly
injuriduf andsoischievous, for even, the information
desired by the motion before the House could not ing
rbreught to w close hi' any moderate period. It
I was proposed, -that the arrangements in every ec-
rdesiastical Tespect,• both in • the superior and
subordinate branches of the Roman Catholic

ments and doctrines had been already ascertained,

absurd. Was it not well that in our colo-
nies existed Catholic BishOps with the usual poweis
of the Catholic Church ? And that such was the
case at Malta,' he could stale from the experience
he bad iu his official situation: He consequently was
convinced that it would be a waste of time to go into
the Committee; and he would decidedly add, that
if the Catholics were inclined to 'go' along with the
Legislature, in the true spirit of conciliation, it
would prove a happy omen for the best and most
permanent interests of the British Empire.
Mr. CANNING, in explanation, remarked, that
if the Catholic Body s!.ou!tl be inclined to reject
what Parliament might give, he would take his stand
with' diament against them m firmly as he now
was with them.

agreeing to them. Opposition had been made on Vl-
rieua groonds. Some who agreed that the rights of the
City had been violated, would not, however, concur
In an Address to the Prince Regent : others, who
had no objection to such Address, thought, that
part of it which related to as Establishment was not
advisable. He had now, therefore, divided the ques-
tion into separate Resolutions, so that they who re-
.
jetted one might perhaps accede to the other.—
The first. Resolution was—" That Lord Viscount
Sidesouth, by his unprecedented conduct, in depart-
ing from immemorial usage, by refusing to insert
in the Loaders Gazette, the dutiful and loyal
Address of this. Court, to her Royal Highness
the Princess of Wales, with her milt graci-
ous Answer thereto, so that' our regard and ve-
neration for the virtues of her Royal Highness might
be preserved in official security and remain capa-
ble of being at any time resorted to as the recorded
opinions of the City of London, has evinced a marked
contempt fur the feelings and opinions of this city,'
and the country at large; and that by so suspicious
an exercise of his discretion, has seemed to insinuate a
belief, that the triumph of the Princess of Wales over
a conspiracy so foul and detestable, could have been
displeasing to the Prince Regent; and has thereby
offered a gross indignity to the Princess of Wales,
and cast a most invidious and odious imputation on
the honour and character of his. Royal Master ;"
The Address to the Prince would now be a se.
pirate proposition.: and here, again, he begged most
solemnly to disclaim that he meant any digitised or
insult to his Royal Highness.. Oa the other ques-
tion; he hoped that Gentlemen would feel that
it was an occasion wheln they ought to vitiaiCate
the rights of their fellow-citizens. If thi Court 11
should ever show a disposition unfavourable to
these rights, he should think it a disgrace to hold a
seat among them. He did not see how any objection
could arise to his proposition. Some persons were
fond of arguing against their own rights, and were
always ready to give them up when contested. Some,
perhaps, would rise up, and show that the right did
not exist at the time of the conquest, and was there-
fore void. The value of a right did not always de-
pend on its duration : utility was its true measure; '
and if useful, it ought not to be departed from. He
considered the late conduct of Lord Sidmouth as a
part of a systematic attack on the right of petition.
ing. The Court were always very ready to receive
congratulatory addresses, but when complaints and
remonstrances were carried up, a very different feeling '
WAS manifested. The right of petitioning was one of the
most important in the Constitution, and one which,
perhaps more than any other', rendered us the envy
of foreign nations: it ought to be sent down un-
shackled to posterity. If it could be shown, that I
Addresses to the Princess had never been inserted in 1
the Gazette, except at the time of her marriage, he
had a right to infer that the Address was then pleas-
but was now displeasing to the Regent: and on
this ground he thought himself entitled to their ver-
dict. It would have been different if there had been
any thing offensive in the Address, but on the con-
trary, it contained nothing both on public and
private grounds, which could be otherwise than
grateful to the Prince, both as the Princess-was the
future Queen of England, and was the mother of his
child. lie then read the Address, and asked, if it
were not perfectly inoffeesive and loyal: whether it
Showed any hostile feeling towards the Prince : un-
less it was to be presumed, that he could be offended
at the foul coutamination wiped away from his wife,
or at. the confident hopes expressed towards his
daughter. Lord Sidmouth's conduct, therefore, bad
been highly improper : and clearly showed, that his I
opinion was, that the Address would be displeasing
to the Regent : an opinion which conveyed the highest
insult on the Princess, the Corporation of London,
and the Prince.
Mr. FAvg,.L seconded the motion. He would be
the last man to promote unnecessary hostility be-
tween
the City and the Executive Government : at
the same time he was the last man who would tamely
give up the rights of the City. He insisted, that
publicity was the only security for the good conduct
of Administrations. The freedom of the press was
the best and almost only-counterbalance to the influ-
ence of the Crown. As to the question of an este-
blichment for the Princess, he should not have thought
it a thing to be insisted on, except for the opinion
evpres3cd in that Minute of Council, which had been
signed by so many Lords now in office.
Mr. Dirs..; rose to move the previous question.—
The sound sense and discretion of the Court would
be forleiterl, if the debate should be suffered to go
into any length. .1f there was ever any dariger of
losing a right, it was when it was demanded not on
good grounds. Those persons who were so careful
of their own rights, should be cautious how they in-
vaded those of others. He then read the letter of
Mr. Secretary Ryder, in 1812, where be stated that
he inserted the City Address because it had been
usual, not because it was a right. Whim this answer
was formerly communicated; It seas in a• pretty tats"
Court ; why did not the Gentlemen fire then, when
that letter was read? the wife of the Regent, he in-
sisted, was as mere a subject as the wife of any
individual in the kingdom. He hoped fair sense
would prevail it would then be seen, that
the conduct of Lerd Sidmouth did not deserve
the opprobrious epithets applied to it. If the City
should choose to go up to the Regent on this sub-
ject he was perfectly satisfied, that they would be
told, that they had no such right as they claimed. He
therefore moved the previous question.
Mr. J teas seconded the motion. The worthy
Mayor had stated, that there was nothing °Pandit,
id the Address to the Princess,* yet there was a pas-
sage which spoke of a dark and •detestable conspi-
racy--to whom nes this meant to apply ?—A per.,
son in the Common Hall had'said openly, that the,
Queen and the Prince Regent were concerned in thel
Conspiracy. Could it, then, be said, that such ex.l
precious did not point at some of the Royal Fa-,

We hare this day given a few farther eitratts &Om
the French and Lisbon Papers ; and although they
do not contain any new intelligence of great im-
portance, it will be seen by the Paris news that the
formation of a new Gourd of Honour, amounting to
10,000 men from the first families in France,. is
nearly complete. This is a new species. Of force, and
although many of our countrymen may doubt the
truth of it, we are et a different opinion, from a

In the Ileitis of Cummons • last night, a very in. I
teresting debate took place on the motion of Sir Joint
COX lIIPPIILLYI Bart. for a Committee If Enquiry
into the Penal Laws which affect the Catholics, the
tenets which they held,
sand all the other circuro-
'stances connected With their situation, and their
claims. This motion was powerfully and successfully
opposed by Messrs. otairrix and Corsi pro, whot in
apetcbes replete with the most solid argument, the
most .pungent wit, .and the most insfituatiog elo-
quence, proved,' that the only effect •of such
a resolution would be to retard or to defeat
the great object of Catholic conciliation and
national harmony, which the Legislature has,
we trust, at length determined earnestly to pursue.
The question has always appeared to us to admit of
a very prompt and satisfactory decision ; and how-
-1 ever. well Wended the motion of the Ho:tearable ,
II Baronet any hairs kens,
... it. Was surely very un-
necessary and indiscreet.:, lig the Catholics to be
believed upon their oaths ? If they are, no sego-
dais can ba more perfect than those offered by
i:the Bill novr before Parliament. If they. are
I not, Catholic exclusion is not, nor can ever hive
! been practicable; since it is on their respect for
their oaths.. that
.exclnsion depends,. and always 1
bag depended. Are: we to believe, for * mu.

Dundonald, In Statford.street, Lisson-grooti, having
some high words with his Lordship, Lord Cochrane,
•who was in an adjoining apartment, hastily entered
and reproved the servant for his behaviour. The
man instantly turned round on his Lordship, and,
after some very abusive lan4uage, kicked his L
• ship, knocked him down, and gave him two or three
cuts. Fortunately the other servants entered on
bearing the noise, and prevented farther mischief.—
The man was taken to the watch-house, where he was
lodged all night; but was yesterday morning like-
'rated by Lord Cochrane's desire, his Lordship not
wishing to prosecute an old servant who lived in the
family above 16 years. His Lordship, though se-
verely cut, we are happy to learn, is, not any way
`dangerously wounded.
