The session:
Mr.. HUSKISSON.-S, as I had not an onnortn-
NIFTY OF expressing my sentiments last niGt an any
lous on THIS OCCASION TO trespass on tho INDULGENCE of
the House, while say few words In doinc So low,
ever feel considerable difficulty after the very i,s
anu eloquent statement of the honorable member vino
mas las addressed the House. verify believe that the
speech aehVercd yesterday on the part of the Crown
is the most important communication ever vet made
70 FaThaInGHt since the accession OF the ousa of
Hanover. Hear, heart ! am anxious as IN indizi
dua to take this opportunity Or recording nv rrsti
tude t" his Majesty for his Patcrna solctnde IN caus
ing such communication to be 1n,d.--,,,, ,,.,c,
cohtempates the dearest rights and interests Of =
large portion of mis- Malesty's subjects ! viii 70
record my gratitude to his Majesty for ordsrinr tho
question to be brought forward as government Ips
surethus bringing 10 bear upon all the inst intlu
encc which his MaJeStys government have at their
co'nnand ain glad 10 find, and indeed it is TO me
u matter OF most agreeable surprise that in tho adj
wee to his Majesty, the principle of concession &c
sanctioned by individuals OF the greatest WEIGHT in
tue country ad VINO, from their first appearance in
pubic lie, gave to the question fair but determined
and uncomptomsing opposition, Foremost AMONGST
them am glad to find my right honorable friend the

good selsc and proprety, abstained from rjyin9 sn

the contest has been severe and lopr. hut eyar,

has been ginning IN importance, till at last II has hoen
seen that the measure could be no lonper re-isteJ
without endangerng tue great interests Of the En-

prove unavaling. The true principles of civil and
religious liberty have made great progress of I,,r
years; and upon this subject an honorable member
mas referred TO the repeal Of the Test and Corporo
zion Acts. 1t must be in the recollection of the
House, that, not year since, my right honorable
friend said III this House, that whether in power ar
ont Of power he would oppose all concession; vet il
was only within the last session, that ne took the
part Of conclliatory moderator on behalf Of the
)IsseDters, and agreed 10 measure which has proved
perfectly satisfactory to all parties In this my rpbt
honorable friend has done himself much credit; and
now III the same spirit, and sincerely hone with
the same Success he will advise the repeal Of all the
Penal Statutes which affect his Majcsty's Catholic
subjects. am suye Ire Will do so in a manner which
