He bad tOrmerly considered the principle as admitted, and in a session or two he had expected to vitoe.s the con,toomatiou of the measure ; this expectation had vanished. He trit , ted he should see the day when the Catholics, conducted by their present or oilier leaders, would see their way back to that maim, who had proved so powerful an advocate : then lie should again be animated with sonic hope for their cause. He saw no reasons why the Catholics should not accept the Bill of 18)1 Mr. W. I'ole, Mr. W. Elliott, Sir N. Colthurst, and Mr. Ilus wile for going into the Committee. - :Ir. GRATTAN said, when the Petitioners desired emancipation ithout condition, they desire IWO 1111LgS abstuel in plincip:e ; iu t h e ti r .,t i n .tanee, they required emancipation, and secondly, eman cipation without condition, which rendered it impossible they conld succeed. It %%mild be flattering the Catholic Body to say they could have every thing—to tell them all their claims would be granted would deceive them, because he knew t h ey would not Lave cry thing. It was Ilk intention to support the Catholic question with desperate fidelity ; in other words, ro tar as there was the sltglitest hope of success ; but be was persuaded that unless the Roman Catholics adopt a spirit of conciliation, noless they come as persons at Plebe(' to the pi ineiple-. at the Constitution, they cannot succeed. it their petition dial not succeed, it was not owing to the want of candour an the pint of any Member in that House. but the want of pludenne wad di , crelimi on the part of some Ca• /holies. With those sentiments he should sit flow'', giving his snte for the question, though he did not pledge himself to support the Resolutions.

Previous to the restriction nn caith payments, a composition was paid by the Bank, by way of Stamp Piny on their Notes to the Revonne, and the sum paid by them elt that time was 1'2,0001. iu 1797, one pound Notes were is sue, and it was then provided that each note should pay 2d —One live hundred thousand pounds in one pound not( s was the n issued, making a VI bill(' of abotit 12.000,01:01. awl they then agreed to raise their composition to 2.1.0001.

Thus, in this article of composition, as in every other ease, a palpable advan tage had been given to the Batik over the public. To remedy this evil was the object of the present trotion.—Some opposition was shewn to the motion by Mr. Mellish and others, but it was in the cud agreed to. Mr. 611 ENE r LT, then moved that the House should, on Wednesday next, resolve it-elf into a Committee to et:(inile into the sum paid by the Bank, in consideration of their being exempted from all Stamp Dot ies.— Mr. Van•ittart cow.jarred the motion as being too inrpor tint to be brought on in this sudden way, and the motion being put, was negatived by 63 against 1:3. The Report of the Committee of Supply was brought up. The Eesoltrtinit for granting a slim of .'5,000,0001. as subsidy to the Em perors of Austria and Russia, and the King of Prusbia, was agreed to. Lord ALTTIORPE rose to bring forward a motion on the subject of the expenditure of the Prince Regent's establishment. The No ble Loid apologised for taking up the subject on account of Ilk in -anfEcieocy ; the case, however, lay in a narrow compass ; it related • to the expenditure of a sum of 100,0vOl. granted to his Royal High ress, as an outfit, takii e upon himself the office of Regent of these realms.
