Ilse Petitions were then read and laid on the taltivm

franchise twenty-eight rears: and let theit Lordships
see what had been the roodoet of the Rtroun Catholics
with that franchise, and it it appeared that they had net

doors should not be opened to them further ? Itivas
true that oar's was a P.otestent Con-titntion ; beloved
that l'oestite•ion, and would support it ; bet if elk
ratites of jealousy were removed from all Pie seh!itets,
the constitstiou woold be strengthened t and these

Tile Earl et DONOCsillSitiltE rose. bre the
tio:i and immense pressure of stranger• brio* the liar,
for sotne time prevented his Lordship from being dis—
tint tly Ile statist, that after • system of iteette-
ranee, too long pursued towards the Raman Cathodic.,
!ast reign had opened with hatter promeeti lie their
view. Ariordingly the Act of I;Ps toad taken place.
and a statute had been passed by the Irish Parliament
which had laid the ground for whatever pririlegettlie
Roman Catholics had become capable of possessing.—
The feeling of liberality, and the disposition to relsese
the Catholics, seemed to have been snore alive in the
Irish Parliament th in in that of England. In Ireland,
therefore, it MY!e gre:OPT progress, as the Act of 1,7'43
and that of I;n testified. lint the most Important con-
cemions were made in the .Ict of 17:U. a kith, by the
restoration of the elective franchise. and other import-
ant privileges, placed the Irish Catholic in a situation so
much above that of the English Catholics, that it could
not he justified en any principles of right ur justice. In
this anomalous state, week' the Catholics of both coin-
tries have remained until sow, had it not been for the
praiseworthy exertioas of a friend of his (Lon! D.'s)
connected a ith •depertaient of tSorerntnent. and sitting
in the other llonse, who, un•iir the auspices of a Noble
Viscount, had caused to be passed an A• t of trace.
opening the Army and the Navy to the Catholics. Since
1793, concession seemed to have ben dead ; and thuni,
the Catholics :sad not entirely escat.ed the observation
of Parliament. yet they had scarcely been aisle to pro—
cars say consideratinn of their claims. Exorpt to u so-
litary instances, and those two instances in the other
House. they hid not succeeded, during a period of II
rears, in ohtattsing any Parliamentary notice of their
grieran-cs. At las!, however, a Bi:i ot. I irace and Merry
nall been sent up tram the other House. But almost
before it had passed their Lordships' threshold. it had
been met by a denunciation of opposition from the \Sahli
Earl at the head of the Treasure. and the Noble Lon' em
the Wasisack. Without any oisereatiass. itilosit hear-
ing a ward on the subject, any
or against the Bill, oe
from the persons for whose relief it ttasintended, those
two Noble Lords ball given their decision against a reas-
sure which had cost the other House long and serious
consideration. Thee had acted a part a 441 was aa.
canal, and be would mid. informal and unprecedented.,
Newer bad such a mode been adopted its the intro.
coneseof business between the two Ilooses s.l Parliament.
This Bill had passed the other (louse. nut in a nemesia ;
of hurry or enthusiasm, fur it had undergone as
ordeal there of tire weeks; and after all :!:e ;:theri.teik;
attention which had been giten to it in the other'
House, and after the deliberate sense of that Honse
had been taken upon it, he wonid ask th..ir Lordship'
whether they could be justified in rejecting it. Hi
was. indeed, much surprised at the early uppositios,
which bad been announced by the two Noble Lords
to whom he had already siluded; fur it was aaasniii
to sake an opposition to the principle of any Bill
until the second reading of it: and he was still more
surprised that the opposition should be wade is mach
a manner, as if the measure was se bad in all its parts
as to be incapable of awientiment. The Bill csa isted
of two parts; the first went to restore the Roman
Catholics to all their privileges; and the seeoud part
went to fin the price which they were to pay for these
privileges. How, be asked. could any use object to
the first part, who was sot satisfied with the pr-sest
sitaation is which the it.asaa Catholics steed? As 4
why sheald the Noble Earl, and the Learaasl Lord.
why objected to the secs ritiss, say that they wait net
grant the privileges? It was impossible to eseeelire
un what principle those Noble Lords Assailed their
indeed, be said that their
