Catholic bill. The second reading of this very im portant bill was moved for at five o' clockyellerday evening—and thedebate ended at eleven this morning. It is ea sy toperceivcthat of this debate at this hour is is impoflible to give any thing more than a paragraph. We (hallthere fore for the pielentonly observe that the debate was opened by the Solicitor Ge neral, who moved that the bill be reject ed, and lpoke fur a very, long tiirft a gainfl. the principle of it. He was fol lowed by Lord King/borough, who se conded the motion and spoke strongly againlt the bill. On the tome fije were— McfTrs. Coote Ogle Couiif. Johnson, Pelham Mason Counf. Fox Wolfe Sir John Parnell Dr. Duignan Col. Elaquiere Mr. Barrington and fir E. Netvenl am Counf. Ijarriiigton Mr. Latouchc Mcflri. Cuffe Bon. R. Sewart In support of the bill were— Sir H. Luigiilhe Counf. Smith Coctif. Hoare Mr. Fitzgerald (not the prime Sv'ij ) Mr. Knox, Mr. C. Hutehinfon, Mr. Egan, Mr. Curran,\ Mr. Ruxton, Mr. O'Connor, Mr. G. Ponfonby, Sir L. Parsons, Mr. Ofborne, Counf. Flet cher, Sir T. Olb-irne, Mr. Grattan, Mr. Tighe, Jim. and Cos Doyle. Of.thefe Gc; iltmcn, Mr. O'Connor diilingnifhed hia.feli by one of the bold e , and indeed the nMeft fpeechet vr: ever remember to have heard in Parlia ment. 'Counf. Smith .displayed in support of the judice and, expedieiu' y of the bill the roost argumentative and persuasive fpe i h which perhips hid ever been ad vanced in fuppoit of a political qneftion. For bold and manly fentimeuts Fir T. Olbotne ilood very prominent—but . if ever arguments .could convine* an As' fenihly of rep'refenta. ves in tin.es like thffe, the irrefutable argument ndduee j by Mr. Poafoaby and Mr. Grat i art t ow ardt the close of the debate, wouid :<av£ insured success to the maafure whieh is now 101 l tor the prefeht'. Both of these gentlemen replied t« t hearguments which had been advanced against the bill, by the many who had spoken during this debate of unexampled length—and yet, though after a patient attention of tlx tee:i hours in a crowded House ofCo'm m»n*, one might, have Czpefted some dimunition ol fire and fti'ength, the fact is that on r.o former occaurfrj, Jo we ever remember to lnve heard, cither.of these gentlemen make a more striking exertion of argumentative or oratorical powers. At near ELEVEN the queflion on the rsjeftion of the bill was put and car ried by a majority, ps 71 —there b itijr againit the rejefiion 84 for it 155. riiug have the hopri of Union a monglt Irifiimen bepn for the prefer.t fnidrated. Yet, there is surely no rca lon to despair of ultimate fuceefs ; Rea son ably.urged, will ultimately give fuc eefs to any measure, and never had any . measure greater reafou and ability ts> se cond it than are ranged now on the Catholic fide. LEXINGTON, M.y 26: By a gentlemen arrived here a few daysago, we are informed, that al>om ten diys since, a party, con lifting of . e'k'hty. coming through the WilJer nefs, was sued 0:1 hy some Indians, within a few miles of Waldion's ilatiori by which four ofthem was inttantlv kil led. • ; By the fame informant vye lesrn, thar i'l M.s way through ibe Wilderness, he r panel! several large parties d*ftined for ; llini State.

An action commenced, 111 which one of the white men was killed —the Indiana were drove from their camp, and their baggage and horfea fell into .the hands of the whites. The party then made for Kentucky, and 011 Friday morning about day bleak, one ofthecentries fired on the Indians, who were endeavouring to take advantage of their situation, upon which the Indians returned the fire, when a sharp a&ion enfutdfora few nuuutef, and the In dians retired before it was light enough for the Whites to piirTue, During this attack one while man was wounded in the thigh, and two hoifes killed. The plunder and hoifes taken fiom the Indi ana told jo A lad that was taken prisoner at the mouth ps bcioto in February last was with the Indiana, and escaped to the whites during the action on Thu.fday morning—he informs that this party of Indians had received a letter from Ge neral Wayne, ordering them to leave that neighbourhood, and come to the treaty, which thee positively refufed to comply with—they areof theShawanefe t"be. £Ken.Gaz.J NORFOLK, June 10.

That n unfortunate diffidence, on tiie lubjtit of nWe indulgence to be granted at th» moment, has bceri rajfed between you andjhe Cabinet oi a«d, -we ail kiiuw, and all dcploie, but you axe much nia'liitcn, if you think ihat the world, endeavouring with very inadequate means to oeteil on which lid* or mif ipprehenlioit lies,even fuppjfing it ftouid be futpe&ed to be with you, has ever limed any censure a: your head, which made it necetlary for you to appear at the tribunal of the public, as open a de fence, In my rrt ml tlnprovoked by accusa tion from any quartet, forcing you to advance, \jpon Aich tender and delicate ground, to points generally not considered accelfiblc, unless where an atuck upon life is meditated, or, what I feel is dearer to you, fame and honour. *'°u allude to a [jart of my tetter, where, joining in the general anxiety as to the precipitancy with which your great mea sures Itemed to be brought forth, I confef ied that 1 could not contemplate the inno vation a iihoutterror. Always being taught toconfider the Roman Catholic queition as of great moment, it was not extraordinary that the qoicknefs with which you decided upon it (1 mean not to arraign that pro:n ( t decdion) should have occasioned a'lirong (hock er alarm to me, however incoir pe tent to diredl an accurate view to its htj or its remote consequence. Under every circumltance ofdifagree ment in opinion, of a nature left reafoni bly interelting the attention of the politi cal world, violent surmises will be formed on both fides, which candour and Mode ration would lote llieir labour in attempt ing to reconcile. Do&or Barrow fays, every fj£t has two handles, one which se verity, iH-nature, ar.d barfhnels are ever inclined to lay hold of; the other con ilantiy to calmness, modera tion, and genfienefs. i (ball address my-- fell to the latter, not the former, in order to gather and liffomit to the judgment, Whn.li I conceive candid and honourable men have formed upon these unfortunate tranfa&ions In many parts of your letter, if I mif takc not, it may e collected, that owing to theciraumilances of thet;mes, theprtf sure of business produced by the war, aud the necefiity df pointing all thought, as Well JS all exertion, towards the defence of the empire, it was a general with to poflpone the confiderat'on of the merits of the Roman Catholic queftiou to a moment better fitted for a I<4, interrupted investi gation of it. Of courie, excepting other wise driven by necefiity, we fnould have seen you acting at least in unison with the views of the Englith Cabinet, had you terminated the Setfion of Parliament, with this point flill reserved for future confider atioN. \ou t foe the reafjris which you have afiigned, conceive that necefiity to be so apparent and so flrong, as to leave you, in policy and prudence, no choice oi remedy. Upon this point the whole mat ter seems to hinge. The public, turning towards the AdminiHration for explanation, dikover them quefticning that necefiity which you Cor.fidcr as irre- Gftible. Great firefs is laid upon the im possibility of utterly preventing this dis cussion, from some quarter or another, being forced upon the Houses of Parlia ment. Thar, some one eager in the cause, would infallibly stir it, though Mr. Grat tan had held.back, was clearly to be fore feen. But as, in that cafe, the argument for fufpendini* mivht have been adopted by thole v.ho were lncl'.ned to fall into the views of both the Lord Lieutenant and the Englilh Minister, it did not seem to follow that, on such ground, a person so in name and reputation, and so cfofely connected with the Castle, was impelled to feizethat hour for giving notice of his bill, Obtain ed by Government and its adherents. Still keeping clear of an impertinent ob trusion of my fentirrtents upon the great question ftfdf, I only take an hvpothefis, that the King's ministers did not, in their judgment, yield to that necefiity, which you state as fufficiently powerful with you, to determine you no longer ta restrain yourfelf to tliofe limits, within which it appears, at lcaft for the time, it was the wish of ymtr political connexions that vou should have confined yourfelf.
