My Lords l am old enough',to: remember
the rebellion of 1798- I was employed in
anothe'r part of the . dominions ; but, my
Lordsv'if I am not; mistaken,' , the jParlia
ment of Ireland at that time walked up to
my Lord Lieutenant with a unaniraousadj
dress, beseeching his Excellency", to, take
everv means to' nut down that unnatural
rebellion, and promisingjheirjfull support.
in order to carry me measure into cxecu
tioh'. The Lord Lieutenant did take those
measures, and did succeed in putting down
that rebellion.- WelU- my :Lords, .what
h.ippened in the very next Session The
Government proposed to put ah end to the
Parliarnent,and to form a legislativeunion
between the two kingdoni.s Jor the princi

--ahd, in point, of fact, the very : fi rs t meaf
sure that was proposed after this legislative
union, after those successful endeavors 'to
put dpwn-this rebellion, was the very jriea
sure ith . which I am now about to trouble
your Lordships. -Is; it; possible Noble
Lords can believe that-if there was such a
contest as that which I have anticipated.
thatjt could be carried on by one House of
Parliament . I am certain,' :myvLiordsi
that when you look at the division of opin

at the division of opinion that prevails a
mbng the Protestants of Ireland on this
subject I am convinced you will see that
there woaid be a vast dirierence in a con
test carried on now, and that which was
carried onon former occasions. My Lords,
I bez you will recollect that, upon a recent
occasion, xerewas a. rroiesi.ini ueciara-
tioh ofthe sentiments of Ireland. As.' I
saiu before, the rarliament 01 Ireland,, in
the year;i798, with the exception of one
or two gentlemen, were unanimous ; and,

on a recent occasion, mere were iviar

Protestant gentlemen - of property in j the
country, ivhV signed the declaration, slat-
ing the absolute necessity 01 making these
concessions. , unuer uiesei
circumstances
it is that this contest has been carried
on
cireu nisiarices totally different from those
which existed at Jthe time befofe alluded tol
But ; it' possible to believe that Parlia
ment would allow such a contest to go 011?
that it would continue to oppose itself to
measures brought, forward 1 for its, settle

at the same time, I must say, that a more

the Protestants of both countries would

; Having thus, my lords, shown the neces
sity of some change in the system , of Gov
ernment,: I, shall now proceed briefly to
state the general provisions of the Bill. 7
I Here the Duke recited the several pro
visions of the bill, observing, that having
seen the consequences resulting fronv the
formerimperfect acts of 1782 and 1793
giving partial relief only, it encouraged
them to rise, in their demands, and to arm
them with fresh power to enforce thein, I
have thought it my duty to make ,the con
cession as large as any reasonable man
could .' expect to leave nothing behind
which could form a pretence for fresh de
mands, or for disturbing.the peace or tran
quility of thexountry. (The conceding to
them,, the right "of sitting in j Parliament I
d o not concei ve can be objected to on a -ny
good grounds of policy prTreasonIt
cannot in any manner inffunce any1, ques
tion that comes beforerPaVliament to the

It must be ; recollected - that when the

were passed, they were not .enacted for
