Nothing certain is yet known as 10 tn. o;c.
visions which the bill for the relief of the Ro
man Catholics is TO contain but it i, believed
that the main articles will be substantially Il
follows:
l.t All public stations, Offices, and disrt
ties, (including, Of course, The right to Il i
bo,h Houses Of ParIiamenD with one 81 III
exceptions. to be thrown open 10 Catholics.
Cd. A clause will be introduced &c p,r,s
Catholic members Of either House from kig
part in, or voting on, any measure eia,il
exclusively 10 The affairs or privileges ofIhe Ps
testani Church, as by law established. IT,
ironing Of such clause is found e1lr,m,'
difficult: and up 10 :his moment the fnt,noi
to overcome the difficulty have no, been H.
tended with success.
Sd. The disfranchisement Of the forty ihl
ling freeholders; and the raising tn. quaIi:s
tons Of the elective franchise 10 the sun Of n
pounds. The operation Of This bill will y
prospective it will no, interfere with an! IL
listing interests but will come into effect n
the present freeholds expire. Ii is mol impr'
bable tina, this measure will be strongly resif'
ed by the opposition. Upon its success, al''
will depend the further progress OF Mlnlf.H
in the relief bill.
4,h. The nomination and appointment o.
the hierarchy of the Catholic Church in lie
land. As this measure is not 10 be one Of o.
gotiation with the Pope, it must be CONSIDERED
as being an act of decisive Legislation, to ThEs
the Catholics must consent as positive co..
dilion, upon the acceptance OF the berehi o
emancipation. II will, thsrefule, rest VII
them 10 arrange with his Holiness the surt''
der of the authority he now exercises whoa
devolved upon him on the death Of Tire last o.
scend.ul Of the Stuarts.
Another version Of the last clause is Sl':nH
follows:
4th. All the Catholic Clergy Of all ranks
10 be paid by the Government; but 1t Is %
intended that The Crown should have any P'''
Of interference with their spiritual eonterhS"
take any part in the appointment Of the e'Gs'
