chafe of 36 hours, captured off

mounts 18 guns, and was, the
day after, manned with ftxry
men from the frigate and sent
up to St. Mary’s, where flie had
a (harp conti-ft with the Spanish
privateer and her prizes, which
laid on the Spanish fide of the

twi light, when the lchooner was -

One of the meft interesting
difculhons of a parliamentary
kind which has been lately re
ported in England, is that upon
the Iriffi Catholic Petition. It
received all the defence and
support which the friends of ci
vil and religious liberty could
give it, but in vain—the church
was against it i and ludicrous
fay, the Protestant church gov
ernment in 1803 refute the liber
ty which they themselves claim
ed in the i6ch century. The
majority in the house of lords
against the meaiure which lord
Grenville had the honor to pro
potewas 129 —of 178 who vo
ted, 49 only efpoufng the co,ute
of human nature, and ftdving to
return to their fellow men the
rights of which they have been
difpofleffed.
