Tie latest accounts from England have
given us an outline Of the debate on The
petition Of the Romon Catholics Of Ireland
In the house of commons, they met with a
most aattering reception, so much indeed,
as to warrant an augury Of their eventual
success. On division Of the question, the
ministerial majority against the motion a.
mounted only to two. But these fatter'ng
prospects were suddenly darkened by the
very hostile aspect which was manifested
IN the house of Peers, for on division,
the majority against the motion amounted
to forty.one. The bishop OF Worcester
was warm in opposition to the claims OF the
Roman Catholics-the bishop of Norwich
as jealous on the other side Of the question.
Lord Grey in favor Of the motion, warned
their lordships ofthe danger OF making mat
tiers Of religious opinion, the subjects oil
human legislation. He cited the example
of the Uniled States, as afording lumi.

government of England. To those OF our
fellow citizens who are disposed to under
value our free republican institutions, who
are prone to despond under temporary dit.
6culties and embarrasments, we would
proudly say. turn you eyes to Europe!-
Shall it be said foreigners only-jealous &
rival foreigners, are sensible oftho.e advan-
tages, that Americans do not know how
properly to estimate themselves! Are we
to be put TO pup'llage under Ens'ishmen
before We can be sensible of the blessings
that we realize and enjoy? 1t produces
strange confusion in the mind, to behold
the Duke of Wellington's name enrolled
amongst the number Of those who opposed
the claims of the Roman Catholics. Wien
we recollect what essential services have
been rendered by this nobleman for the es-
tablishment of the papal power, both in
Spain, in Portugal. and in France, to whom
more than 10 any man of the present day,
the Pope is indebted for the rc.establish-
ment of his power and authority in Europe;
il may excite some surprise that he should
be SO hostile to the claims Of his own coun-
trymen. the Roman Catholics Of ireland.
the brother Of the Duke has
been hostile to the Catholics, at the very
lime that the Duke was so successfully en-
gagged in fighting the battles Of tho Spanish
Roman Catholics.---This circumstance
gave birth to the following pasqulnade,
from the pen of an English Poet
