Parliament Of Ireland.

and I shall not suffer their exertions to relax so long as any body of them whatever shall remain in arms against his Majesty ' s peace . ' Lord Castlereagh , in the Commons , moved that a Committee of the whole House take the same into consideration ; also , that a Secret Committee , consisting of 15 members ( including his Majesty's Law Officers ) be appointed by ballot , to which the papers just laid before the House should be referred . Both motions were agreed to ncm . con . Thursday , 19 . The Lord Chancellor , in the House of Peers , spoke to the

message in a concise speech . In order to do away the hacknied allegations , that parliamentary reform and a repeal of the test laws would satisfy the discontented , his Lordship read certain resolutions , which had been entered into by the conspirators , on the very night , the 19 th of February last , when a noble Lord in that House had moved an enquiry into the distracted state ' of this kingdom , to the following effect-. ' Resolved , that we will pay no attention to any measure which the Parliament of this kingdom may adopt , to divert the public mind from the grand object we have in view , as nothing less than a complete regeneration of our country can satisfy us . '

The correspondence of sentiment which subsisted between tne Rebels of Ulster and those of Leinster appeared from their having entered into similar resolutions on the same day . Of course it followed , that reform was neither now nor at any other time their object in fact , whatever it might be in profession . There were a few subjects to which their Lordships' attention would , naturally be directed in the present critical times . One was , to take such measures with the most obnoxious ofthe Rebel leaders as should oblige them to come forward and stand their trials , or subject them to that

punishment in property which they so justly deserved . Another was , to tranquillize the country , and to settle it in a state of permanent security . In this great -work he conjured the gentlemen of this country to come forward and exert themselves , one and all , hand and heart , for it was impossible to goon under the present circumstances , without being exposed to some ruinous convulsion . —Political animosities , he feared , contributed in no small degree to involve the kingdom in its present calamitous situation . These animosities had been carried to a great extent in another country , where he had good authority ' for mentioning it had been recently stated , that 'the rebellion in Ireland was nothinar more than justifiable resistance to oppression , ' —and that in

term ' s of offence to gentlemen here , who at every risk were exerting themselves in preservation of the constitution and government , which as little marked the good sense as good manners of those by whom they were used . Friday , 27 . The Attorney-General called the attention of the Commons to two measures of some importance to the countryat the present crisis ; the one was the case of certain persons who had been active in promoting the present Rebellion , and to whom Government had been led to hold out offers of

amnesty , to induce others to return to their allegiance . They had given to the persons now in prison the alternative of banishment for life from his Majesty ' s dominions , rather than prosecute them to conviction and capital punishment . 'The other measure was , that of rendering the property of those who , by their activity in the rebellion itsulf , had been immediately instrumental in the p lunder and ruin of the King ' s loyal subjects , responsible so far as it would go in aiding the benvolence ofthe Crown to compensate the injuries sustained

by the loyal and well disposed ; and by a bill of attainder , vesting that property , so forfeited , in the hands of the Crown . He therefore moved for leave to bring in a bill' to prevent the return to this kingdom of all persons , who , either tn consequence of a commutation of sentence , actual conviction , or conpronuse > - . 'V ' sTiQ ' uW . be transported out of this kingdom for high treason , and to prevent / V .- ' "duaie gcsShg into an enemy ' s country . '—Leave granted , r- ' ... , ,., » ; -, ' % -. ¦ ' - '' .
