KIMIRN't Letter, 'girders' • s follows: *Tilt It be recommended to the House to send the following Message to his Honour t illsuteuatet-Go, in answer to his n oeure , bn , iti c .eage ut lst of November or Ss MitylJA1111,0110,10•14 • • '• -• •••••".^.-- ' • Wo ors ordered by . the Hoene to wait on your Honour, and to dm * your ',biome foe the fair and Candid meaner in which you e ve , tool - before the Howe the - Copy of Dispatch from his , yo u Principal Secretary of State for the Colonial Department, stating in detail the reasons of his Majesty's Government, for 1 disallowing the law, passed last Session, to alter and amend the ' Slave Lew.' After the mature consideration, which the House besto wed upon that Law, they Mimi to find that his Majesty has been advised todisallew the sense; but they have the consolation to think that, if the Slave Population be deprived of the many valuable improve ments contained In that Code, the blame cannot be attributed to the House. " In enacting the eigbty-third, eighty-fourth, and eighty-fifth Clauses, which are particularly objected to, the Howse had before them the example afforded by Demerara, and they deemed the restrictions necessary, as well for the peace of the Colony as for the we loloing of the slaves: That opinion the House still retain, and consequently are-unable to present to your Honour any modified law on titis illbjett. In the Law, passed last Session, the House did incorporate every real and substantial improvement which they could do with aafety to the Country and with benefit to the Slave; but they can not (for the purpose of gratifying the Parliament and Government of 4.ireat Britain) agree ,to adopt measures incompatible with the test intents of the Colonies. " The Hoisse are aware that your Honour cannot, under the instructions you have received, sanction any Bill on the subject of Religion without a suspending Clause : and, as the House will never make a deliberate surrender of their undoubted and acknowledged rights, by legislating in the manner prescribed, they will not lay before your Honour any Bill respecting the Slave Population. " By the House, " JOHN 0. YIDAL, Clerk to the Assembly." A Committee was appointed to draw up an answer to the letter of the ;light Hon. Gentleman. HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, Data 14. Mr. fitellet4SOß's Dtarmras—Repoit made from the Committee appointed to take into consideration the Letter from Mr. HUIIKISBOI4 to the LunrreGovgamos., as follows: " Mr. Sesames—Your Committee appointed to take into cond. deratioo the letter from Mr. Huskissoo to the Lieutenant-Governor, and to repost thereon to the House, have drawn up several ltesulattions, and have replied to the objections which Mr. Hue kisses' states to have occasioned the disallowance of the Slave Act by his Majesty. " These Resolutions and the Reply your Committee recommend tothe consideration•of the House. " Rootlet-61 1. That the House have learnt with surprise and disappointment, that the Committee of Piety Council for Frail* and Foreign Plantations have advised Isis Majesty to diaaflow the Act passed last Session, entitled • An Act t o alter and amend the Stave Lawe i " S. That his Grace the Duke of Manchester having, in his epeechat the close of last Session, declared his opinion, • chat the mildness and moderation which were evinced throughout the law, and the beneficial alteration produced ha the condition of the slave in many particulars, would be highly satisfactory to his Majesty's Government;' the House rather expected to be honoured with the unreserved commendation of his Majesty, than to have their labours eminent:led, and' their sacrifices undervalued and rejected. " 3. That this proceeding on the pan of the King'a Ministers must shake the confidence of the Island in their aristlom and justice. us for several years successively plans of ntelioration have been pressed upon the Hoes, and it bas been earnestly suggested to the Hasse, that the Imperial Parliament of Great laritain generally and anxiously desired the amendment of the Slave Law. With all that respect for the wishes of the King, and of our fellow-subjects, weeds, as belonging to our comnion empire, we feel bound to ob serve, this House maturely weighed the various pretositions made through the Secretary fur the Colonies, and adopted not only ail the propositions which seemed to be in the slightest degree beneficial to the colony; but they even conceded in every poet that was not positively mischievous, and in some of doubtful,if not of dangerous tendency. The Heine does not venture to reproach his Majesty's Government with vacillation and caprice in the change of councils, which has led to the disallowance of a law once so eagerly coveted; yet they tied it impossible. in Mr. Huskisson's dispatch to the lieutenant-Governor, to discover any souud reason fur the course east had been pursued. •• 4. That the House conceive this important mot to have been committed by his Majesty's Government—instead of comparing the new Act with the institutions of Jamaica, the advisers of the Crown hive kept in sight the laws and customs of the Mother Country, and have peened sentence on a law designed for the regulation of slaves, as it it were an act to fetter the minds end resources of a free people. Moreover, his Majesty's advisers bare altogether 'selected the obvious propriety of contrasting the new with the old law..-. Ilad they deigned to open the law of 1516 a they would have fou nd that k wanted many of those humane provisions which the un thawed CiViii•SiOO of the doves embed the House to iuuodeee ipto the lew vi, 1826. If it be admitted chat the new law falls be low the reesouable hopes of the King's Ministers, yak far exceeds the old law in restraints upon the abuse of the blaster's authority, abd in civil rights conceded to the slams. And bad the two Acts been judged by their respective merits, and in• the sense spirit of tenderness to the slaves which the King's Government has pru(eued , fee so many years, it is cuosidered by the House that the Act of 11116 would nut have been revived. * 5. That the disallowed Slave Act, in the admission of slaves to give evidence in criminal cases, went beyond the elfin:aged re commoidation of she King's Government; for Us the second pro- MUSWOO of the Colonial Minister sent down to the House by the Duke of Manchester at the commencement of else last Session, and declared by his Grace to have' received the unqualified approbation of both Hawses of Parliament; it is observed,' that the adnessien of the evidence of slaves is nut to emend to cases where a white soma or oi tree condition, shah be charged with any capital crime. liffereve.r, not only are s laves, by t he disallowed Act, permitted to iimeesidetsce in cases where white and free persons are prosecuted for capital crimes; buteheir evidence has actually been admitted, its two such cases, during the short operations of the Act. In one, the offesdet,a white nsuu , was convicted, partly qu slave evidence, eflisurdee; and its the other, a man of colour was couvicted of manslaughter, solely uts such evidence. " 6. That the House hear with pain, that akhdogh this and other valuable improve:twins are fully estimated byasis Majesty's Privy Councits yet it was iusposaibk to overcome the objections to which other enactments of this law are open.' •• 1. That for the information of his Majesty's Government, and the iustikcation et the I hesseto his alajesty, the House will pro. mod to elansine the objectioel which have prevented the coahr. Waist ef the Ace" ~lit Boort then curers at great length into the merits and de merits of tlse case.

DAWSON presented several Petitions from different Parishes in the County of Louth, praying lot Catholic Emancipation. He said he regretted that there had been no notice whatever takenof Ireland in the King's Speech. He knew that it had be n said in excuse that no important cccuriences had taken place in or a ith respect to that country, and that, therefore, it was unne cessary it should be particularly alluded to. He denied the validity of the explanation, and he must beg leave to say, that an event of the utmost importance had taken place. What could be more important than the meet ing of fotir or five millions, inhabiting as they did fiom one end of the country to the othe', at the same mo ment, for the single purpose of pressing their claims upon the consideration of the Legislatute ? The Pin testant D ssenters of England had also acted with the same unanimity with respect to their own claims to relief, as the Irish Catholic Dissenters had, and both claims were bottomed on the same principles, namely, those of Protestantism originally, and which were breathed by their forefathers when they separated them selves from the Church of IL-me. ' Mr. G. LAMB, on presenting a similar Petition from the Roman Catholic Inhabitants of Duneat von, remar k ed, that when he last presented a Petition from the 'same body, he expressed his hope and belief that they would, before long, be relieved loam all nece-sity of petitioning on the subject. Since that period, however, the Catholic cause had lost its ablest supporter, and a Prima Minister had been appointed who was decidedly hostile.to their claims. He confessed, thetetoie, that his expectations were now far from being sanguine, but I still it was satisfactory to find the Catholics stead ly persevering'in their endeavours to acquire these privi leges to which justice Ltd policy alike entitled them. Mr. V. STUART pre.ented sixteen Petitions from the Roman Catholic inhabitants of different parishes in the county of Waterford praying for Emancipation.— :He said that the Petitioners and his constituents in 'general, deeply deplored the recent change which had t ken place in his Majesty's Councils; and lest he him self should be supposed to be more favourable to those changes than the great majority of his constituents w etc, he would take that opportunity of very brit fly stating his opinions. He segav,:ed Catholic Emancipation as the most important of all questions; and if a Ministry were oppdsed to the granting of it, although it em braced the ablest financiers, the greatest diplomatists, and the best regulators of our commercial interests, lie should think he degraded himself and betrayed the in terests of his constituents, if be -did not offer to it his strenuoos opposition. Young Member as he was of that House, he had already changed his seat twice ; but lie begged to temark that he had not once changed sides. During the Administration of Lord Liverpool there was a preponderating influence in the Cabinet against the Roman Catholic claims, and therefore he WAS oppoted to that Administration. During that of Mr. Canning and of Lord Godelich there was a pie pcnderating influence in favour of the Catholics, and therefore he was in favour of those Goveromepti. It r.wes idle to say that a Cabinet was neutral upon the Iquestiono—it was impossible it should be so; and as 'another new Administration had started into existeuce be naturally looked to see which way its bias was, ani las he found it adverse to the Catholic claims, he was 6pposed to it. It had been said, that the retention of office by the Right Hon. Gentleman who was Secretary far Ireland, was in itself a guarantee for the neutrality of the Government upon the questiln; but those must' be young birds indeed which could becaught with such, chaff, He acknowledged the high character and ability of the Right Hon. Secretary for Leland, and adMired the manner - in which he had hitherto discharged his duties; but from whom had he hitherto received his in structions, and from whom was be now to receive them 1 Why from the Secrete'? • for the Home De partment; and in the simple fact- of the Right Hon. Gentleman who had returned' to that station having again taken office, he (Mr. Stuart) formed but too strong reasons to conclude that the present Administration was essentially anti-Catholic. Mr. D. W. HARVEY said, that he had always Hs-. weed with the greatest attention to the supporters of teat were called the Catholic Claims, but he had never salmi able to learn upon what arguments they arrived. le the conclusion which they universally adopted,namely. that Catholic Emancipation would give entire peace, prosperity, and happiness to Leland. Night after night Mon. Gentlemen rose in that House and harrowed up' its feelings by accounts of the miseries which a great, Itooportion of tha inhabitants of beland were suffering, and they invariably concluded by 'recommending Ca iholic Emancipation as an infallible cure for all the evils contplained cf. An Hon. Gent. (Mr. V. Stuart)i had that evening gone so far as to set at nought every other means 01 diving relief to Ireland. He appeared to disregard the impoitance of a financial ref etmation, and to hang all his hopes for relief upon further con cessions to the Catholics. Now, if he (Mr. H.) could be convinced, if it could be shown that the adoption of the measure to which the Hon. Member attached such mighty importance, would prodpce such an incalculable be..efit as the pacification and happiness of Ireland, he w nail at once forego whatever private opinions he might eats. lain, and give it his support. He however believed no such thing. He believed that a financial, reformation was the best thing that could occur, both .or Great Dr Lain and Leland; and the Ministry thaL ;heisscl a disposition and endeavoured to bring about such a se.ortnation should have his vote, not merely up )11 one, but upon every occasion. - Mr. SPRING RICE denied the correctness of ther, Dtateanents and the arguments of the Honourable Meme l her for Colchester. - The Representatives fir Ireland, bad Dever undajealtied the !peat subject of Finance; apd wh-o they wished for a Daouth-piece through which to cletlatplheir sentiments, they certainly would not fix upon the Houoprible and Learned Member for Col chester. hut he (Mr. Spring Rice) atroold undertake to prove, both by argumint and by a refereneelohistory, that it was to the disabilitiei under which the Catholics laboured all the miseries of Ireland were to be attti- buted. The . H.inntuable Member (Mr. natty) bad attached the utmost importance to economy ; and he (Mr. Spring Rice). by advocating the Catholic Claims, was one of the brat friends of economy. If they had. been granted, there would have been no necessity, in, lig& foe an army of 100,0 Cit) men, nor Tor the loan of 10,000,0001. which that army occasioned—(He tr, heat). By granting those claims the feelings, energies, and duties of a powerful people would be enlisted in beh.ilf rf the welfare of the empire; and then, indeed, there would-be a-saving worthy of an honest, honourable sys tem of economy. Mr. J. SMITH presented similar Petitions from Ballinrobe, in the County of Mayo. anal Lurgen, in the County of Cavan. Mr. SPRING RICE presented a similar Petition from the Ro man Catholic Inhabitants of a Parish in Mayo. The Petitions were severally ordered to be printed. COXIIII7III TOR INKIVATI BILLS. On the motion of Mr. I.trrixtor4, a Select Committee was ap pointed to act respecting Private Bills, and all matters concerning them. CORPORATION AND TEST ACTS. _ Lord JOHN RUSSELL presented a Petition from the Pro testant Dissenting Ministers of London and Westminster, praying for a Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts; also a similar Pe tition from a place near Bolton. - - - DOUBLE LAND TAX BILL. Mr. CURTEIS said, that being de'.irous no Bill' should pass through that House which would subject it to the charge of ignorance in another place, he had prepared a list of Returns which he should move for, in order to thew that the Roman Catholic did not, in any one instance, suffer from the Double Land Tax Assess ment. He was convinced that the statements made last night were full of errors, and the returns he wished would set the matter right. But if it should appear that in any one instance a Roman Catholic did suffer in the manner which had been stated, he would at once withdraw all opposition to the proposed measure for their relief. The Hon. Gentleman then moved for a variety of returns respecting the receipts from the Land Tax,' distinguishing the payments made by Roman Catholics from those made by Protestants. Mr. G. A. DAWSON said, there could be no objet• tion to complying with the wishes of the Hon. Member, but from the intricacy of the accounts required, it would cake some time to prepare them—perhaps so long, that as the Bill was already in progress through the House, they would come when too late. Mr. CURTEIS said, that perhaps upon that considers. tion the Hon. Member for Corte Castle would consent to postpone the second reading of the Bill. The returns were then ordered. On the motion of Mr. G. A. DAWSON the Order of the Day was read, and Sir ALEXANDUR GRANT brought up the Report of the Committee of Supply, and the resolutions were agreed to. On the motion of Mr. G. A. DAWSON a variety of Estimates connected with the land and sea forces were ordeted, and an humble Address was voted to his Ma jesty, praying that he would be pleased to give direc tions that the same should be made out. On the motion of Mr. G. DAWSON, an Account was ordered of all the Exchequer Bills which had been issued between January, 1827, and January, 18S8, and were unpeovided for. t Mr. DAWSON then presented the Returns ordered, which were directed tribe psinted.—.Adjourned.

No business was done in the House of Lords last night, owing partly to the absence of the Loan Cstaxcer.coa, who bad not returned in time to attend it from Windsor, and partly to the impossibility of any business being done until the Members foe ,the Commons are returned who had vacated their seats by accepting diffrrent offices tinder Government. The same remark applies to the House of Commons. Mr. 'l'maxinr took the oaths and his seat; and several Petitions Were presented from the Roman Catholics of Ireland, which gave rise to tidied skirmish between Mr. Semen Rave and Mr. HAMM, In which the former appears to have had the best of it. The Arnie, Navy, Ordnance, and Miscellaneous Estimates were ordered to be laid before the House. • The intelligence byte,ts . " -- saica - Mall, which arrived Yesterday, is of a very unpleasant description. The - . House of Assembly continues oft inveterate kiln with our Colonial Minister. The Committee of the Legis. lature has made its 'Report ru the Letter of mt. Hosnralon, announcing the rejection of the Sim Law passed by that Body. This Report, which is very important, we have given, together with other equally interesting proceedings of the House of Assembly, I a preceding part r,f our Paper. Besides a variety other strong Resolutions, an unanimous vote has passed the Assembly declining all further legislation in regard to Slaves, in consequence of its law for their ameliara= tion having been rejected. The Commissioners Accounts have been censured by a vote of the House, for paling the troops after the Assembly had resolved' 'refrain from any further payment until a redress grievances should have been obtained; and though was prudently agreed to pass the accounts for the pre= sent, it was unanimously determined that its . compliiticd should not be permitted to be drawn into a precedent. The Assembly was prorogued on the2lst of Decerubei to the 29th of January. The Lieutenant-Governor made a very sensible and conciliatory speech on the occasi( which deservedly afforded the most general satisfaction, We have received the Parrs Papers of Sunday, and the Gazette deFrance dated Monday. The Chamber Deputies had assembled on Saturday, but they were chiefly occupied with the necessary forms on sof occasions.
