L O N D O N , " J U N E I 8 . A riot took place at this T h e a t r e on S a t u r -

day evening last, which thieatened-to-pro-duce the most serious consequences to, the property of the house.—rOtir readers wil l recollect that an. intimation'"was some: time ago given to the directors of .tlie .Opera from high Ecclesiastical Author i ty , that if the entertainments were not regularly closed before midnight, prosecutions would be commenced "against them. Desirous of complying with this,mandate, the Directors have ev.ei-since abridged, the performances

j on Saturday e v e n i n g s — a n d on Saturday, occupied with "the question on the second instead of the very long ballet of Ossian

they substituted Paul and fcrgitua 'between . reading of the Carpberwel l Water W o r k s B i l l . .Strangers were ordered to w i t h d r a w , and we understand a division took place.

On.our re-admission, after the division, into the g a l l e r y , . w e found Sir J O H N N E W -P O R T on his legs offering so.me observations prefatory to. the motion of which he had. given notice relative to the, Commissioners in Ireland, for determining the claims of

the first and second act of the O p e r a , and, -gave only thfc -second act of Ossian at the dose. _ This act contains the most attractive part of the: ballet, and particularly the'bril-l iant Tas Le Deuje o f t h e D E S H A Y E S , w h i c h is a chej d'eeuvre of the art. T h e result of this, arrangement, h o w e v e r , was , that the curtain dropt at half, past e leven

loyalists, w h o suffered in the Rebell ion of j o 'clock. T h e audience, very erroneously, r y g 8 , and also to those f o r ' r e g u l a t i n g the j as.we underst compensation ,o be granted, for propeny in borough franchises injured by the U n i o n . — With respect to these two Commissions it was the H o n . Baronet 's intention to move Specific resolutions,; as the objects for which they had been appointed must have been long since accomplished if they had seve-rally. discharged theit duty. T h e Hon. Baronet alluded also to another Board ot Commiss ion, that for granting compensation for offices suppressed by 'the U n i o n , which had been continued longer than was neces-. sstry, to the great expence of the public, and Inferred the .inexpediency of their fuither continuance, from thenarure of the claims preferred to them, o n e - o f W h i c h had been for compensation, on the part of a M r . A . F o x , rat catcher to the Board of Ordnance, in IvzlinA,. (a loud and general laugh) for losses stated to be sustained by him from the function of the Engl ish-and Irish Ordnance D e p a r t m e n t s , in c o n s e q u c n c e o f the U n i o n .

T h e H o p . B a r t , then: move.:!, " T h a t it is the opinion of. the. H o u s e , tliat the objects for which.a Board of Commissioners in Ire-land had been constituted by the 38th, 39th, and 40th of his Majesty , are or ought to have been , long .since attained, and any longer continuance...ofit would occasion an unnecessary publ ic expenCe,' in the provision fortheirsa lar i .es . "

M r . ; Y A f s S I T T A R T vindicated the conduct of the Irish Government . H e took blame to himself for not having brought in a bill thai had. been, prepared by his prede ccssor, which was: to put an end to the Board in a short time... A s ro the other B o a r d , there were claims yet under its consideration w h i c h would require it to 'be continued for someiOiiger, term.; at that same time he ad-mitted that a period should be fixed beyond

w h i c h it should not be continued. H e did not mean to oppose the motion directly5 but in order tag iyet .be H o n . Bart, an opportu-nity of bringing the-s.Ubject under the con sidetation of :tbe H o t k e y if the bill he had

. to bring forward sh-oald not be satisfactory, he moved the previous, question.

M r ; C O R R ' V " s a i d , that nothing personal to himself induced him to. rise,: as he was in n o w i s e concerned in the constitution of this commission. It Was the province of t h e S e ct'ctaiy of the L o r d Lieutenant, and not of the 'Chancel lor of the E x c h e q u e r . ' H e thought the L o r d Lieutenant unpleasantly situated, as on this occasion, there was no gentleman present w h o could be said to re-present the Irish Government. It was, h o w e v e r , but, bare justice , to mention that the Commissioners were by-no means liable to blame for the strangeness :of the claims presented to them. T h e i r business was to decide upon such as cam.ebefpre them, and they were not accountable-for the impropri -eties of the claimants.

. M r . P O N p O N B Y thought tlie statement o.f the Right f l o n . Gent, satisfactory^ in

tand, conceived thar, had the last act ol the ballet been also performed, the whole representation might h a v e been, terminated betore t w e l v e . — - T h i s impression upon the minds of the younger part of the audience, incensed them to a v e r y . great,cle.-g r e e — a n d instead of retiring from the pit, they kept their scats, and expressed their disapprobation by loud hissings and hoot-ings. N o person coming forward to give any kind of explanation-, a more turbulent spirit began,to shew itself—-.and those w h o were.most- violent set about commuting- acts of most unwarrantable outrage.

First they proceeded to the orchestra, seized the books of music> tore.them to pieces, and scattered them over the stage. T h e i r lury was next exeited to destroy the tin lamps made use of to light the mui i -cians. A b o u t this time some of tiie servants of the T h e a t r e , aware of the tumultuous proceedings, came- into the orchestra, in order to save as much of the materials' as possible.

T h e y w e r e , h o w e v e r , soon compelled to' evacua e it by the active p a r t o f the au-dience. One' of them, h o w e v e r , in tlie

•pelt mele and confusion of the riot, escaped with a valuable harp, and another, not so, successful, was taken as he was'efFecting his retreat with a ' double base. 7 ' l ie assailants being thus disappointed of pait of the ob-jects of their revenge, took ample a m e n d s , from what was' left b e h i n d . — T h e y com-pletely destroyed an elegant' grand piano-forte, estimated at the value of" 100 guineas, by ticading it to atoms ; broke every article they could lay their hands upon, amongst which were double basses, violins,, and bassoons; of eighteen violins, only five survived the horrors of the night. T h e victors-seized the necks ' and broken bellies pjf the fiddles, holding them up in t: iu'mpli,

.as the. sprJia.••opinio., the trophies o f , their . p r o w e s s .and not' satisfied with tliia,.. they

pulled down- the partition of. the orchestra, and made almost a level passage between the pit and the. stage. T h e ' i i e x t .attempt was upon the curtain, ' w h i c h , •'with, the wings of the great scene, ' 'was soon torn to pieces.-—

. ... to pieces W h i l e the battle was : raging, a carpenter, • possessing more zeal than discretion, was endeavouring to manoeuvre a w a y a piece of the w r e c k , wheiVah- 'Hon. Gentleman w h o is 'occasionally, h e a r d ' i n the Legis lature , and w h o w a s i n the orchestra, acting as a -leader of tlie band, "threw a viol in case at • his head. T h e fe l ibw' dropt his booty, but' snatching u p the spent shot, he'sent it b a c k , with redoubled force, to his h o n o u r , w h o dexterously escaped its effect's by ducking, his head, and then j u m p i n g bri the stage with great alertness, Brought back the asto-nished carpenter to answer for 'Kis temerity. ' T h e man pleaded strongly,tb<S innocence o f his intention, stating, that he only meant to-replace the violin case in its former'situaticn, he was.suffered to escape unpunished, " V !

After tliis stbrm there .appeared a calm for.a few moments, ahd it was . hoped that the, ri) ic,hie,f w o u l d end .here ; but it turned „ put that what had happened, was only an earnest.to what was to, come. At one sweep it Gentleman armfed with a large stick, des-troyed the w h o l e r a n g e of foot lamps in the front of the,stage, Which: was atrirpe c r o w d -ed with the audience from.the pit , some of w h o m proceeded,to. attack the, scenery with

,redoubled fury.

A sky scene was rent to pieces, :and they began upon the side scenes, when- a large portion .of the,scenery f r o m the top fell up-on ilje stage with great violence. Several hat's"w'ere knocked off , but. fortunately no person was injured by the a c c i d e n t . — T h i s was.supposed to have been done, not with a v iew to hurt , but to' intimidate the assail-anis from keeping possession of the stage. It had in some degree the desired effect, as a great many of them abandoned that part o l the stage so exposed, though they did not whol ly letreat from it. T h e y ransack-ed the jower boxes for chairs, which they took upon the stage, and into different parts of the house, and threw them at the chan-deliers, w h i c h were elegant and costly — A s the glass fl&w the c lamour encreased, the atchievements of one encouraged another and the attack became general. T h e crack-ing of the scenery in one place, the f lying of glass in another, and the hallooing out from all quarters for the proprietor M r . G o o LD , would h a v e made one suppose that " Chaos has come again ." Previous to this ; period of the action a party of the Guards had appeared on the stage, but they

' we r e o r d e r e d o f f again, without being al-lowed to interfere in any w a y . A constable or two appeared, and displayed the ensigns of their authority j but instead of taking any one into custody, they were so roughly handled that they would have wil l ingly re-signed their dignity in office, and all they possessed, to h a v e been at liber y them-selves.

In the midst of this confusion, M r . K E L -LY appeared, evidently much hurt at the disgraceful proceeding which had taken place. It was in vain he attempted to make himself heard, or command attention. It was with difficulty we could make out what he said, during the partial .hearing which he obtained, but w e . understood him to have stated, " that the Manager , i n - w h a t he did with respect to the curtailment of the bailer, was governed by the orders he re-ceived from the Publ ic Office at B o w street, issued at the instigation of the Bishop , of L O N D O N , and which w e r e , in effect, not to permit tbe.perlormances to be protracted beyond twelve on Saturday n i g h t : why the curtain . had ' dropped so soon as the time

. mentioned, he could no; attempt to accoun f o r . "

T h i s explanation not proving satisfactory, the Bal let-master , M r . D ' E c VI L L E , . was next called upon, w h o said that his inst rue tions were to drop'tlie curtain at the conclu-s ion of-r-he second act of the Ballet, and he had'done so accordingly. Mr.. G o o 1.n was then loudly called for again, when -Mn K E L L Y stepped f o r w a r d , an.d assured the audience '•' that he 'was not in t o w n . " T h e fact, as We have since learnt, was-perfectly t iue , M r . GOOLD having, with a large party of" persons'of distinction, dined at the c o t t a g e , o f M r . W A L S H P O R T E R , on t h e

banks of the T h a m e s . V io lent clamour e n s u e d : M r . K E L L Y , M r . D ' E C V I L L E , and M r . J E W E L L , 'were indiscriminately called for. E v e n the' f l ight R e v . Prelate, at whose desire the regulation was establish-ed, in the then humour bf the house, came •in for a considerable share ot abuse—and spme of the rioters actually proposed that he should be sent.for to answer for himself. Tt was h o w about one o 'c lock, and they had

;• c.eased ?o;" some, time their out rageous pro -ccedihgsi' rather f i o m not having matter to-w o r k upon, and because theirattention had

' been directed to the observations, of .. M r . ' K E L L Y , which seemed to have made a

Momentary impression-—b.ut, w h e n he had withdrawn'himsel f , some of the most active

[ gentlemen began to look out for more em-plbym|ent both Tor' themsel ves and the rein-forcements which ^-ere-continually pinning in. H a v i n g destroyed all the; chandeliers -withintheif reach, from the ground f loor , they n o w cansideied'how r they should get at those at .a gieater distance. F o r that pur-pose, sjmall' detachments went in search of unoccupied boxes', f rom which they could get •withjh'shot of the enemy! H a v i n g taken a position^ the' heroes attacked, the. chande-liei;s,with great 'spirit, and made them fly in every direction, till theie .were not.more than ten of those useful ornaments left out of thir ty-two, the number at the commence-mentof hostilities. It was in vain that the cry of s h a m e ! shame 1 was vociferated f rom different parts o f the house.

T h e riot was at length c a n i e d to s tab a n . alarming length; that-some of the ladies w h o . had been deserted by the gentlemen, fainted a w a y , and were obliged [p be carried to. their carriages. T h e confusion and terror, that reigned within the house, we're soon-made k n o w n without, and coming to the k n o w l e d g e of the light-fingered corps^ many of them obtained admission, in. the hope that' the place Would be given up to p lun-d e r ; but that not p r o v i n g exactly the case, they were satisfied to exert their indus-try upon a Smaller scale, and pick up what they could in their usual way- M o r e than-. one Gentleman had to regret the loss, of his warch and money T h e railing round the pit-was, for the most- part destroyed, and made use of to break spcli chandeliers, as the rioters could not get at by any other means ; the covering pf several scats was .torn to pieces; -and in fine, nothing escaped w h i c h was within tbei'r reach. T h e f e w char/de-

.liers which remained we're only preserved because the assailants could riot get at thern t he dam age w as great, arid may "be •estimated' at i o o o l . ' at least'.

About half past one o 'clock the parties be-gan to retire, rather -wearied than com-peat-iy sated in their .revenge for' in thcir.way they broke all the w i n d o w s in the passages to

- the Pit , and made several attempts -with their sticks to destroy the large g l o b e lamps at the entrance of the same, but "weie only able to crack one.

I n the heat of remonstrance and expostu-l a t i o n , one man had the meanness.to strike M r . K E L L Y , w h o returned the b low with interest. T h e adherents of the aggressor took fire at this, and manifested an intention of making a general assault on the Act ing M a n a g e r , an outrage which was only p r e -vented by the interfeience ol a n u m b e r o f his friends, at the head of w h o m we could d i s t i n g u i s h S i r C .

( In the course of one of the statements M r . K E L I Y was under the necessity of making, a voice from the second tier of the boxes bel lowed put " you l i e . " — K E L L Y imme-diately pointed out to the box froin whence it came, and replied, 1 1 in the situation in wh:ch you are, you may safely tell roe f l i c , but you dare not come down and tell me so h e r e . " — T h i s retort met w i t h ' g e n e r a l ap-plause from the liberal 'partof the audience.

H O U S E O F L O R D S — J u n e 18.

S T A T E O F I R E L A N D . T h e order ot the day being read, the Ear l

of S U F F O L K rose to bi ing,-forward his .promised motion o.'ii the above subject, H e prefaced itby a speech o f considerable lengih, in the couise of. which,- be expatiated upon the superior policy, and expedience o f " in-quiry on the principle w h i c h he was about to recommend ; a principle -which was sanc-tioned by.the authority and recommendation of thai- great statesman- and phi losopher, L o r d C h a n c e l l o r B a c o n , and to the want of a proper attention to w h i c h , was in a gieat degree to be. attributed the ioss of our late possessions in North A m e r i c a . H e dwc-lt upon lhe great importance of Ireland as. a component and integral Dart of the United K i n g d o m , and its peculiar political impor-tance, resulting f iom its geographical sitiia r

tion, and the various local advantages pos-sessed by that island. T'his important part of the United K i n g d o m , he was warranted b j authority, in saying, was far from being in a t ranq u-Estate ; this he could fairly infer from various opinions' upon- the subject.,, w h i c h were g iven.by many N o b l e .Lords in-the course of the late important discussions on the Catholic question, and more espe-cially f r o m the Legislatie authority of the two Bil ls passed in the early part of the Ses-sion, exclusively applicable to Ireland.; the one for suspending the Habeas Corpus Act , and the other authorising the exercise oi Mart ial L a w . Politically speaking, there-fore, Ireland was not to be regarded as in a tranquil state-; and,, with respect to its do-mestic and internal consideration, he trusted he could prove it to be, so far as to lay a ground tor his intended motion, in a state, comparat ively , of the'most deplorable m i -sery. T o the present, unfortunate situation of Ireland, , he observed, various causes contributed, and some of the principal of t hese he should endeavour to ex plain to their Lordships , In,-this v i e w , what' s;ruck him as one of the most prominent^ was the con-sideration of tythes, w h i c h , under the e x -isting regul-ayipiis, and.in the w a y in w h i c h they were collected in Ireland, were to - be

fccg'ardeclas a n i m b l l e r a b l e grievance. T h e i r Lordships .would recollect, that the great

-. body of the peasantry and the lower order of the .people/in that country were of the R o m a n (Catholic persuasion, in a proportion .of at,least nine tenths ; these were liable to the payment of tythes.for the.maintenance.of •a church of which they were not members, in addition to w h a t they contributed to the support, of ihe clergy df their o w n com mu-nion,. and. thus . had. they , the l o w e r and poorer orders of the people, a peasantry perhaps the most.distl'essed of any in e x i s -tence, to pay a double f a x . Let their L o r d -

... ships consider, the point, put it to .-their o w n feelings,; it was what none of them could

y . a p p r o v e of. In his conclusions on this pait of the subject, he w a s borne out by the Opin ions of the insurgent chiefs. Doctors M ' N e v i n . and Emmett , on their e x a m i -nat ion, on being, questioned as to the

* point, said, the R o m a n Catholic pea-' sant.ry. of Ireland did not care a farthing

about e m a n c i p a t i o n ; what they wish-ed lor w a s , the abolition ol ty t l ies .— He.next .expat iatedon the distracted situa-tion of the Irish - peasantry, which he d e -scribed as greatjy aggravated by the present

' tythe system in that country. It w a s wel l k n o w n that the principal food of the Irish peasants was potatoes. F.or-.ihe. grounds on w h i c h that root, w a s raised, the peasant paid very h i g h r e n t ; f o u r , - f i v e , and in some cas.es even to ten pourtds'a year rent : added to this, the cultivation of the potatoe icquir-ed a gre.iter portion, of manual labour than a n y other ' vegetable, and from those the tythe was rigidly exacted ; a grievance, w h i c h those combined considerations greai ly aggravated'. His L o r d s h i p expatiated a great deal on the salutary consequences, w h i c h he conceived would result to Ireland, gnd to the' empire at large, from Catholic emancipation, and seemed to argue -from a variety of proceedings 'which took place in I re land, and frdm the language held out

• f r o m vaiio'ns quar ers, particularly f iom the year 1 7 9 3 , to the complc ion of the measure of the U n i o n , ' that the Catholics w e i e led to imagine, if lliey were not p io taiised it ,in terms, "that their constitutional emancipation would be one of the earliest results of the U n i o n . T h a t such might in that event Salely and beneficially take place,

T he stated,; was-,the opinion and sentiment.pf some of the most celebfa eel', statesmen and Writers of that nation, w h o , in general , in-culcated such, a principle:; some of these Were.referred re by his L o r d s h i p , as well as

1 the speech of .he L o r d .Lieutenant to the Ir ish parl iament in 1-793';. of which the projected : amelioration ot the state of ihe i i i f h Catholics and peasantry formed a leads, itr^jjeature ; and the add 1 ess Irom certain R o m a n Catholic, meetings in the counties of Wexford"; Waterlorci, and Cot k , with the answer of the then Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant, L o r d Castleiea.gh, were on the same pihi'ciples referred to by his L o r d -ship. • l i e continued to expatiate upon the sa uraiy effects*, w-hich, he argued, would 3.tend Catholic emancipation, and com-mei ted on what he thought the injustice and .oppression o f continuing tlie present system with respect to tlie Irish Catholics. H e described the wretched and miserable-situ.a ion of the Irish peasantry as in a great degree o w i n g to these odious and impolitic rotrairits ; l c l e n i n g , as he proceeded, to lhe opinions': of' various writers upon the subject and upon the state of I re land—they

. " ' w e r e ill ^clothed, ill fed,., a n d ill l o d g e d ; the luxury of shoes, stockings, and meat

..which their c o u n t r y so abundansly produc-ed, was .unknown them. And he contrast • ed with the situation of the corresponding classes, of the inhabitants of South Bri ta in, where a different system, c iv i l and ecclesi-astical, prevailed. H e dwelt upon th'e ge-

' i-erous and affectionate .disposition of that "'peasantry; and, generally speaking, w h e n

left to themselves; of their docility and inoffensive demeanour. Fie ' lamented the hUte decision of Parl iament on the subject

i. o f Irish Catholic Emancipat ion; and ad-verted, to the fears w h i c h seemed to be enter-tained, in a legislative point of v i e w , of such a measure as groundless and absurd. No.scriOus injury to.either church or state could ever be apprehended from the intro-duction of perhaps, seven or eight I i i sh Cathol ic C o m m o n e r s into a legislative as-sembly of- 'between1 s ix and seven hundred Protestants ; tior from the circumstance of eleven or twelve Cathol ic Peers taking their seats among: their L o r d s h i p s . Besides, in that point o f V i e w , some degree of .res-triction may be wel l interposed ; for in-stance, those w h o changed their religion

( from the Protestant to the Cathol ic , should not-be allowed, to sit -in Par l iament . H e only threw this out as a general idea:.—• He was a strong advocate for the pfinciplea

of toleration ; genuine Christianity went not t ime } and, first, he w o u l d observe , that to ordain religious establishments in a 'state ;'. one of the leading propositions, of the N o b l e

'•-•> — iri»n»,-iV(.H' : :r. -Earl, .as he understood its application, would to and he panegyrised tlie. system aciopted in iAmerica with respect to religion w h e r e e v e -ry denomination of Christians was equal in the .eye .of the' laW, and alike eligible to the administrating .govern m e b t ; neitheir w e r e the Irish Cnthol ics so well treated as their fe l low subjects of the same persuasion in other parts of Flis Majesty 's d o m i n i o n s . — I i e ad.ve.i-tcd particularly to those of C a n a d a , Who, forming a great majority 'of the inha-bitants of that part of the E m p i r e , had their religion established in . their f a v o u r ; and w h y , he w o u l d ask, was i h e Coronation Oath of the Sovereign, to: be held binding, with respect to the Catholics, of Ireland, and not suffered to. affect those of Canada ? O n the beneficial.effects, either-i-n a view of in-ternal or external pol icy , of the system adopted with respect to Canada, he dwelt shortly, and referred to the authority: of cer-tain'writers on-that subject, w h i c h he men-tioned, bore him, out in his c o n c l u s i o n . — Another consideration, w h i c h , he said, contributed to the miserable situation of t h e ' Ir ish,peasantry, to w h i c h the present un-fortunate state of that country was so great--ly, owing , , was-the extremely low 'price of labour. T h i s , lie observed, was , in many parts of Ire land, not more .than five -pence per day ; though the rents paid for land, Were, upon the w h o l e , as h igh , or rather,

-higher, than those paid in E n g l a n d ; and one- of the leading, expedients which he' would recommend to ameliorate the condi-tion of the poor in that country, would be, to raise the prices of labour . -—With their present wages, it was astonishing h o w they could protract existence: lo many parts of the.pronvice of Munstcr , he uncteistocdthese observations w o u l d particularly , a p p l y , . — Another leading consideration, and which greatly contributed to the present state of Ireland, and the distressed condition of the poor, Was the system in general adoptdd by the'absentee landlords, and wh'i'ch, in some points of v i e w , though they mostly let lheir estates r.t'lower rate's than others, in the first instance, operated as a great g r i e v a n c e ; 'what he principally adver ed i o was,- their practice of letting their lands to w h a t were called " m i d d l e - m e n , " w h o .usually let. them out again to the occupying tenantat e x -orbitant rents. T h i s system w a s equally in-jurious to the head landlord, and the person who tilled the ground. B y absentees lie did not mean those N o b l e L o r d s w h o attended their duty iri*that H o u s e , but great landed proprietors, wl^o rarely, if e v e i , visited Ireland, and he instanced some cases w h e r e , by the adoption.of a different plan, the 6c-c. lipid-of t h e g r o u n d was considerably benev

j filed in his 's ituation, and the icnts ot the head 'landlord at the same ti me .gi early in-cieased ; and he alsb'adverted to sbme pro-ceedings known to himself, w h i c h , he con-tended,-evinced, ihe necessity with a reference to the amelioration of the state, of .-'Ireland, of some, alterations in that part of the system. All these considerations: combined, indeed, amf ihe notorious internal situation of l i e -land called for. it, shewed lhe necessity of- an inquiry into the leal state of that valuable and important part of the United K i n g d o m , in order that-Government and the L e g i s l a -ture may, as far as practicable, ascertain what si.eps were proper and necessary to be taken for' ameliorating the condition of it's inhabitants, and the security of that part of the empire. A great majority o f the people in that country were, he contended, o b v i -ously dissatisfied with their present condi-t i o n ; , a n d , he (eared, that the, large armed forfie, Which it-Was-, found- necessary to main-tain iri'Ire.land,' w a s not so much f o r the p u r -pose of repelling ' invasion, as to suppress insurrection. .With a view-to, /obviate e v e -ry thing unfavourable that might be appre-hended, and to lay the g r o u n d - w o r k of the beneficial results to V/hich he h a d al luded, '" he would m o v e their Lords bpi's, " T h a t an humble Address be presented to His M i , -JE 'ST 'Y , praying that he would be gracious- .

O n the .question being put, the Ear l o f : L I M E R I C K rose, and observed; <t'h'at> as an 'Irishman,' he must decidedly oppose the motion of the N o b l e E a r l , as'likcly to pro- ' duce' grea't iii is chiefs. Indeed; for-.a long . time, he should not 'have supposed the N o b l e E a r l to have beensp 'eakir igof -till by fnfth'er- attention-, a'nd'the.'freqi:fffrit''Tcpej

titioh'of the 'word, he found the N o b l e E'a'r'l mentjto a

go to deprive the . Protestant established church of Ireland of its meatus of support : lie alluded to the destruction of t y r h e s . — W e r e their L o r d s h i p s prepared to accede to any proposal that w o u l d . tend to that ? — With regard to the N o b l e Earl 's description of the State of Ireland ; witjh respect to the condition of its peasantry, the l o w prices of l a b o u r , he must have made his calculations upon what/was the state of those things a great many years since. H e h a d , from the

' consideration, whether fortunate or unfo-r-tynate he could not s a y , - o f l iv ing a great tiia'ny years in Ireland, much-personal and local' . 'knowledge in these respects. , H e could so farcontrovei't his statements. A n d , with respect to what may be taatteis of opi-nion, his conclusions were formed from authorities, very different from those referr-ed to by the N o b l e E a r l . H e knew ful l w e l l , and was free,to confess, that the situa-tion of Ireland, in many of the parts a d -vefted tb, was-by no means so f a v o u r a b l e as that of this country n o r w o u l d they bear a. comparison j but for this lie would coil tend,, that Ireland,had been'-'for many years b a c k , and sti i lcontinued in a state of p r o -gressive improvement and amelioration, and:which there was 'every reason to expect would increase every day-.: to adopt the measure recommended by the N o b l e E a r l , therefore, especially w h e n the situation of thai counti 'y, menaced by invasion, and the Empire-at large embarked itran arduous and extensive w e l f a r e ; Was-considered, would be'iinpblitic and dangerous :in the highest degree. - His-Lordship then shortly adverted toithe 1 general nature- of the N o b l e Earl 's address to the Flouse, a grcqt p a n of which applied to the question Of Cath-o.lic emanci-parioh ; a subject which had so recently, so fully,,, and so temperately been canvassed in that H o u s e , and solemnly decided upon.b) . their Lordships . O n that part of the N o b l e Earl 's speech, he should not, therefore, offer a single observation: Fie then adveitcd to a .few of the N o b l e Earl 's observations respecting the absentee landlords; and parti-cularly to a circumstance introduced inio-that-part of his speech, w h i c h , it seemed, admitted a yery different inference from that d r a w n by the N o b l e E a r l . He apologised to their Lordships for this short occupation of their t i m e ; for his part he felt it decidedly his' duty to oppose the Motion.

T h e L O R D C H A N C E L L O R was about to put the question.; whett

T h e D u k e of N O R F O L K rose, and begged leave.to offer a few observations on the subject. W i t h respect to. those mischie-vous effects, which the Noble- K a r l , w h o had last spoke, seemed to: a'ppteherid; in-case the motion Was agreed to',: he confessed no such apprehensions'pi'esentcd th'ctfisel-ves to his mind. W i t h respect to the important subject of tytlies, his Grace, observed, that', finding the law in that respect coeval, in j h i s , country, with the l a w s for the conservation of every kind of property, he considered them as entitled to equal-, regard. : T hey .were the property of the church-, t o b e res-petted as such, and invo lved considerations respecting the union of church and state, which he trusted, would a lways continue to ̂ support each other. W i t h respect Jto. w h a t had been said as arising from the topic of Cathol ic emancipation, he ful ly agreed that that important subject had been fair ly , f u l l y , and -cooly discussed by the House , and though he formed one of a compara-tively s m a l l minority, w h o thought it p r o -per their L o rdships .should go into a con: --piittee on that subject, yet lie bowed to the decision of the majority of their Lordships , and practically must consider .such decision as rightly made. Y e t he seemed to think that f rom those discussions, matter trans-pired w h i c h tended to shew the expediency o f such an inquiry as his N o b l e Friend proposed.-• In some points of v i e w he dis-approved of partial quotations from authors/ they required a great portion of the context in,order to ascertain.the sense of the writer anti. opepart icula i ly w h o m i t s N o b l e Friend

j''had more than once: quoted that evening, correctly no doubt , one with w h o m he had ithe.happiness and the honotfr to be long ac-quainted, the late Archdeacon P a l e y / w e n t on to say, speaking of the subject of tyth.es;-that w h i c h , in his ifiind, operated in a different w a y f r o m w h a t his N o b l e Fr iend seeSied to Understand' i t . — A d v e r t i n g to the state of the established religion in Ireland;-he observed} there existed soine yea'rs.ago, that/which should induce hi,m to "think the superior clergy of that country h ighly r e -prehensible. Fie alluded, to the pireuirt?

. . . -observations to tlj^t part:of . stances of many.. parishes of considerable the United K i n g d o m ^ In the- pijcsent in- ) extirit , and w h i c h paid all the clerical dues,

stance, he assured their Ldrdships h i j w o u l d ihtruda' upori'their patience but a very short '

beiftg not otily without a c l e r g y m a n , but eVrn without a c h u r c h . — H e thought , the

most f a v o u r a b l e epoch for redressing many of the.grievances, adverted to by his N o b l e Fr iend, as aflecting i re land, . was the occa-sion of the adjustment in 17&2, when l i e -land was-relieved from the.commercial fet-ters of this c d u n i i y . - '-A.peculiarly f a v o u r a -ble opportiinity was then presented. Wil l i respect to the question before ihe House , he thought it was one that demanded an opinion from so trie of his Majesty 's Ministers. ; L d r d H A W K E S B U R Y observed,' the pj/ytion . under.consideration was -one which h e s h o u l d feel it his duty to resist, were it only upon the ground of its being, very ill t i m e d ; , it also involved considerations, w h i c h , under the present.circumstances and situation, not only of Ireland, but of the Empire at large, would induce him to object to it- With a N o b l e E a r l , he. thought-' it would .be productive at present of mischiev-ous effects. Wi l l i him he thought that a, great.deal of the N o b l e mover 's s.pqech was applicable to the question of Catholic E m a n -cipation ; w h i c h , with the,Noble D.trke, he thought had been, tb'ost. f u l l y , fa ir ly , and temperately considered .in that House, , as much so as any topic that ever came before P a r l i a m e n t ; and that being solemnly decided dpon, by a very large .major i ty , not only of that, but of. the other branch of the Leg is -lature, he felt it unnecessary to offer a single observation up.on all the relevant part of thb N o b l e Earl ' s .speech. W i t h respect to tj^e importau' coiibidei ation of t y h e s , on Which the N o b l e Secretary, in the, course o f his observations, laid considerable -stress'.; he-most cordially agreed with the position of the N o b l e D u k e , that they cons ituted oro-peity , and that of the most sacred kind.—• Indeed the Gentlemen alluded to by the N o -ble E a r l , Messis . Emmett and M ' N e v i n , when they were examined on the part of tlie G o v e r n m e n t of Ireland, seemed to have given their evidence very ingeniously upori that s u b j e c t ; they, after g iv ing their opi-nions as to the wishes of the Irish peasantry, for the abolition of tytlies, went on to admit , that w e r e those abolished, the rents w o u l d be immediately raised by the-landlords' in a proportionate.degr.ee, so that the relevant situation of the peasantry w o u l d , so far, re-main the same. In fact, to abolish the tyth'es .would bc to 10b the Cievgy i they were their property, and in the eye of the la w , equal ly sacred with every other description o f p r o -perty. T h e benefits of them w e r e , in fact,; equally exper ienced, and enjoyed by the land-owners^ as it was obvious that these, from the Consideration of their lands being', liable to tythe, purchased them p r o p o u i o n s -bly at a less rate ; and this was a x o n s i d e t a -tion, independent of the political ana reli-gious points of View, in w h i c h tin: subject may be considered, which should place-them, equally wi ih every other species of property, under the protection of t h e . l a w s ; and siich, he. ti usied, they ' wotVid for ever remain In. concluding, .Jiis.

GEORGE REX, , ,' -.-His Majesty thinks proper to acquaint the House of

yet been brought to such a point as to enable His Ma-Jeit-f today the result cf them before the House, or to eater into any farther .' explanation'-with the Fiench Od*rnmenf', consistently with the sentiments ex-

J'-essediyHis Majesty, at the opening of the present Session. But His Majesty conceives., that it may , be ofesseufial importance,, tkat. he.should have it in his 'IHI>er to avail, himself cf any favourable conjuct'ure jorgii'iiig ejfcsl to shcha concert with other I'owers,,, as-may djj-ord ihe'test means of resisting the iti-rdf-kaie. ambition of France, and may be -most likely to lead to a termination of-the present contest, on grounds consistent with, t he permanent saf ety ,and interests .of itlis Majesty's dominions, and the. security ami mile- . peiidknce of Europe.

A s soon as Lhe Message Was read from the Chair, tlie Right Hon.
