Lora CA .M DEN was tinsircias to guard any coo-
reoiten who. i it might he found necessary to make to the Ca-
tholics with wholesome Nvorities. He hart, hinguage repeated

sion in another place, by a Right Flom and eloquent Gent.
(t)r. Grattan) Islich hal mancneed his mind to form the most
favotirable conclusions of making curtectssions to the Catholic
claims. That inetnoraidespecch had tukeu much of the anxiety
from his mind, and he could, therefore, vote for the present ma
tion without any reluctance.
The Duke of NORFOLK was of opinion, that
every man in the realm had a nttukal right to wondtip. God ac.
cord in;; to the dictates of his own heart, after having given pro.
per Fecoritirs to the nation, that he would lease the Govern.

TieSSrd 10:11 c!:ecring effects the prompt renunciation of our Ar-
den- in Council Had accomplished, amongst the murmuring ma-
nofart mem ; and he hoped. that tiv a concession equally prompt,
we n ou:d conciliate the minds of by
Catholics.
• A Noble lzrd, who, as we were Informed, was the Earl of
WA MS' ICK, spoke in hos:airy to the motion, from the cross
beech.
The Earl of- MOIRA said, that his Noble Friend
(Lord Holland) had replied so folly and to ably to
the speech of the Noble Lord on the Woolsack, who
had moved the previous question, that he should not
and it nosessary to trouble the House at any length.
Some Noble Lords seemed to have more than misun-
derstood, they had misrepresented- what fell from
the Noble Marquis who introduced the subect, fer
r reme who supported this motion, were pledged to
any thing more than the mere consideration of the
Catholic Claims. He requested such persons who
were inclined to give opposition, to reflect upon
the present condition of the Empire ; to advert to
the ferment its Ireland, to the discenteftt and
'dis-
turbances in the interior, upon which 'sealed do-
cuments had been delivered to a • Secret Committee
only yesterday. Was it then nothing in favour of
the motion to say, that it would, in the interval,
between the present and the ensuing Session of Par-
liament, troopmillize the irritated minds of four mil-
lions of people, so loyal, that they only requested
to be &lowed to serve their country ? Were men,
who with such a prospect before their eyes, refused
coeciliate, fit to be entrusted with the Administra-
tion of the country at these times.—[llear, hear,
hear!]—lie lamented that the Irish Catholics, upon
a recent occasion, had thought fit to adopt Reso-
lotions, which under the circumstances were impru-
(lest, boo still he confessed that they breathed a ge-
nerous British spirit. If, however, the conduct of
the Catholics had been more objectionable, it ought •
to have no influence upon the decision of Parliament; I,
if on other grounds it appeared that concession was ;
not only politic but necessary : in his Lordship's opi-
mints it would be the extreme of folly to resist the
present motion, because a few individuals had acted
'without due deliberation. [Hear! hear!] Above
all, if it were a boon, the gra mt of which was ne-
cessary for the security of the State, he could not
believe that it would be for a moment resisted.
Ths, Mottle Lord who spoke last had prophesied the
fall of time Establishment; such prognostications
were hi no way warranted by the conduct of any
portion of the subjects of the Crown ; the Protest.
ant had the testimony of all Ireland to prove that
the Church would be secure: the danger was not from
:‘••, but from rejection. [Hear, hear!]-
11 1 i!.. 'otitioners were sent hack disappointed, they
s, • • !:i soon return in double force; and when resist--
syss. in any other mode was found vain, the cry
simt be renewal that the Church was in danger.—
`isle experience of a century and a half had proved,
ts.t by eselnsion the Established Religion hod made
no proselytes; and the opinions uttered. by the Noble
lost L'arned Lord on the Woolsack, were so ill suit-
ed to the timss its which we.lived, that they came limp.
isg 50 years behind the period at which we were ar-
rived. The mode in whirls the subject had been met
by a motion of the previous question, would only
resew instend of terminating discussions; the in-
temperance so much censured, was hut the symptom
of an :into:whin fever which would inevitably sue-
c TO., if the proposition of the Noble Marquis
Were set aside by the previous question.—Elicoe,
lvvr 11—Th, conduct of the Noble Mover of the
previous question rentiseled him of the situation of an
naskilful riles., who was placed upon the back of a
geeerons and high spirited horse. Alarmed at the
peril in which the rider was placed, he tightly grasped
the rein, anti to check the impatient prancing of his
steed, snatched the curb, thus placing himself in real
Clanger, because he had first given way to unreason-
&sits fears. If the motion of the Noble Marquis
wet'• thus disposed of by the previous question, his
Lordship pledged himself that even before the end of
the short remaining period of the Session, the claim
of the Catholics would be renewed in that House
With fresh vigour, and he hoped with better success.
With regard to securities, he believed, that the best
that could, by possibility, be informed, was the alle-
giance of the Catholics, arising from affection for and
interest in the Government. Such had beets the opi-
nion of Mr. Pitt, after consulting all the Catholic
Universities on the subject of oaths, and much also
were Isis Lordship's sentiments. So feeling, he should
give th; proposal his hearty support, although he
should not have objected to a more general and
sweeping vote.
Viscount SIDMOUTH said, that the grounds up-
on which resistance had been formerly made to the
Catholic claims, was from a firm belief, that the in-
lampposte and lofty tone in which they had to that
per;od indulged, made any concession dangerous.
They were described as having arrayed themselves in
the armour of right, and that they had thrown them-
selves in a menacing attitude. That was a most in-
surnsontstable objection. Then let them look in what
manner the Catholics had conducted themselves down
to the present periinl. They had certainly kept them-
selves within the pale of. the law, but then who could
help regretting the difficulty with which they accom.
plished it ? The Rouse was called upon to go into
an honest consideration of the subject by the Noble
Marquis's introductory speech, and his motion indi-
cated the almost extent of unlfmited concession.
Unless, therefore, he could find that he could go to
the extent of the motion with a safe conscience, it
would be dishOnest in him to consent to it. His own
views would be limited, and the views of the friends
of the motion unlimited. To consider on the part of
thei) Loidships according to the terrns.of the motion
wosild be to concede to an unlimited extent. We
were not to measure our concessions to the Catholics
by the loudness of their clamour—they were desirous
oiTtnatiOpstion of a political nature ; but they re.
ricked - enfranchisement from ignorance and poverty

more than from political disabilities. A favourable
recurrence- of events were required to lead them
emancipation. Let them legislate as their forefathers
had done, and tiot by a hasty measure interfere in
the inward economy of the Church. Under these
impressions, he should give his vote for the previous

question.
The Marquis of HEADFOUT spoke in so inau-
dible a tone of voice, that we could not discover on
what side of the question he spoke.
, The Marquis of LANS:)OWNE said, that far
, advanced as the Session of Parliament was, and the
I business in which it was engaged of the utmost impor-
tance, he was ready for one to vote that the claims
; of the Catholics should be taken into immediate con-
I sideration. Nothing could serve so succesifelly to
quiet and compose the minds of the people at such
la juncture a! the present. lle was not prepared, as
lit had been apprehended, that the Noble Marquis
i was to make unlimited concessions, but he would vote
for the Motion, under an impression of the practica-
bility' of the measure. And were they to be told,
that in bestowing general rights upon all the people,
that all the reciprocity would be upon one side ?
Concessions baked, of a very tnederate nature, had
i been offered to he made towards the Catholics,
hot to wilily ticat. they were desired to email-
cipate thentstives from ignorance and from po-
verty—What an accusation ! Good Heaven ! could
they expect a people to become rich to whom all the
porches to honour and Clete were closed. By the
manner in which they had guided Ireland, they na-
turally caused her to cast her eyes abroad for as-
sistance, and for instruction, which, tinder a more
favourable Government, she should have found at
home. Bat the Catholics had of late, by their de-
meanour, and by the pressingness of their claims,
raised up friends in many an unexpected quarter.—
Their l'rotes:aiit brethren were content to risk their
Church Establishment, and their property, in making
concessions to the Catholics. To that respectable
body of men there had also been a light thrown in
upon them from an unoxpected quarter, from which
no light was expected.. This was the Government
who were divided in their opinions, and by the
speeches which they had made on the same occasion
expressed the difforences between them. He would
vote for the motion.

The Duke of CC, MBERT.AND indulged favour.
able opinions towards the claims of the Catholics,
until he witnessed the Resolutions recently istted
from Dublin.

The Earl of LIVERPOOLwouId not give his vote
for a measure, to the conclusion of which he could
not clearly see his way ; if he did sp, he would ec.
in a way diselaceful to his own character, and tie
would deceive the House if he consented to go into
the enquiry without the intention of concession.—
Whetever his opinion of the question might be, he
would never meet it with little shifts or little expe-
diencies. [Mar, hear!] If he could agree to the
enquiry, it would be unmanly if he did not deter-
; mine to carry the measure completely into effect.—
' It was not said that the power of the Pope was now
greater than ever; but it was urged, with respect to
his relation with France, that he might now be more
dattrrous thou he had ever been; it Iva), therefore,
a fair principle in a State, that no individual should
participate in its privileges who did not owe it impti.
• cit obedience. To agree to consideration without
concession was dangerous; if they were not
to concede, they had betterinake resistance in Undue)
anduot break in on a long established system of laws.
• He would oppose the Motion, because, if he ever
was of opinion that Emancipation was wise,-he would
be averse to the abolition of our set of laws without
knowing what to substitute in their place.
LordDONOt:( lINIOitE said, he heal, as it was
well known to many of their Lorlships, 'Jived in ha.
bits of strict fii-et,iship with the great Bed: of the
Catholics; he had always been the strenuous advocate
of their caust; and he did not, on the present occasion,
feel himself less inclined to be ,u than heretofore. lie
complimented the netaly maimei• in witi.lt the Noble
Earl who spo!se last ha,l met the question ; and con-
fessed he al eays a eisidered, that consideration in-
: volved concession ; and he would strenuously depre-
i cate the idea of deluding the Catholics by attortling
them the one, and withholding from them the other.
He adverted to the Resolutions of the late Aggre-
-gate Meeting in Dublin, and was sorry to tied they
had made so strong an impression as they seemed to
have done on the minds of some Noble Lards : but
there would always occur in large public Bodies mo.
tnetiLs of irritation, and it was not wonderful the
1 Catholics should feel a jealousy, when they found
re-appointed to their situations the present Ministers,
who had on all occasions sheen themselves so deci.
dedly as their determined foes. lie e as weltnivare
jof the value and importance of conciliation ; and as
• he thought this measure would very materially tend
to it, he would give it his hearty support. •
Lord MELVILLE said, he rose to state shortly
his reasons for voting as he should now do in favour
of the present motion. In so doing, he could not
charge himself with any inconsistency for feeling.as
' he did. Ile hoped the House would not only come
Ito a consideration of the question, but with a de-
sire that such consideration might lead to the benefi-
cial results which the friends to the motion flattered
themselves they might reasonably expect from its be-
ing carried in their faiour. He hoped, therefore,
the House would feel it their duty to pursue their
own steady course, and not be led away by any in-,
temperate proceedings which might havelakett place
among rash unadvised men ermine the Catholics.—
He could not agree with a
.Noble Friend of his; who
had said, that if a stand was to be made, it Should tie
made in fitnine; on the contrary, he was of opinion,
that those who, in 1800, could not agree with. Mr.
Pitt, ought to take the fink opportonity alfertied
them of doing so. Since then, a very considerable,
change had taken place in the •public opinion,- parti-
cularly in Ireland; and be should, therefore, '
• port the motion. • .

'Lord GREisoriu,r, said; h Couldrunt .give hid

vote on the present occasion without stating the view,
on which alone he gave his vote. Ile agreed with
the Noble Marquis who brought forward the motion, •
that the greatest mischief which could be brought on
the country, would be to deceive the Catholics at
this moment, by holding out to them Illusory expec.
tations. lie would not vote for the motion now, he
never would vote for lt,lf he did not conceive that the j
vote of the House would pledge them . to 'concession,
not doled and parcelled out witha niggardly and Mac-
tant hand, but going to the full extent of a total repeal
of their disabilities. Wizen he said so, he did not ex.
elude those securities which might be deemed neces-
sary to preserve the Protestant t:stahlishmet►t, being
satisfied that upon the preservation of it depended the
safety, happiness, and tranquillity. of bot h countries.
He should prefer tc) the present motion a declaration
that Parliament would, early next Session, proceed to a
total repeal of those disabilities ; and he should pre.
fer still more, a declaration that they would, at this
moment, proceed to the repeal of them. But as he
could not get what was most agreeable to his wishes,
he gladly hailed that which was offered to him. If
he were to rest on the opinion of the Authors of the
Revolution, to whom a Nettle and Learned Lord (the ;
Chancellor) had referred, he won!sl ish to ask, which
of the two principles seemed more conformable to
those there laid down, the Learned which
would exclude four millions of our subjects front the
benefit of the Constitution, or those on his side of
the House, which ask you to admit all to equal
rights?
Earl STANHOPE said he rose to order, with the
view of giving his Noble Friends on the Opposition
side, a perfect certainty of carrying the motion, his
object being, by means of a❑ Act of Parliament,
on which he had chanced to lay his hand;, to turn
the whole Bench of Bishops out of the House. His
Lordship referred to an Act of Charies 11. subject-

the sailors having procured a gun from the squadron,
again resumed the attack with such lull etaositf,
that they soon succeeded in storming the place, and
took 3O prisoners, who are arrived in the If 4spur.

We consider the termination of the discussion last
night in the House of Lords, on the Catholic Ques.
tion, as a cause of real triumph to the Irish people.
The number of Members present was 251, out of
which Lord LIVERPOOL could only count a majority
of 0,41;1. Take from those who rated against the
Motion, the Siostourer:, who were defeated last
year in an attempt to introduce what they termed
some 'titulary regulations as to the Di.senters,
it will then be seen on which side the sense of the
country lies. As we are assured the PurNcr.

Previous to the rising of Marquis Wrt.tvir 1.
the Duke of NUIZEOLK adverted to the fahrient
statement, which appeared in the Courier on Tue.)-
day evening, respecting an extraordinary Aggregate
Meeting of the Catholics, said to have been held is
Dublin, on Thursday last, and asked Lord Santo/Tit
if there was any truth in that statement. To this hit
Lordship answered, " that the Government had not
received any information one way or another on the
subject." Yet do we find the Courier of last night,
in the face of this disavowal, in the face of all the
Dublin Newspapers (which, by.the.bye, have reach.
ecl us this morning to the 30th ult. and are still si.
lent on the subject), and in the face of all probabi.
lity, mnintaining, with their usual effrontery, that
an Extraordinary Meeting was actually held on
Thursday the 25th! !! Surely it is high time that
the eyes of the public shoed be opened to the mir
serable and inf►mous tricks which are daily practised
by this servile Journal, to deceive them.
