" 2. The Lieutenant-Colonel wants words to express his grief on this most melancholy occasion. or his sense of the great loss to the command, which is likely to resuk from his Excellency's death at this particular crisis —and, indeed, feels that any attempt, on his part, to eulogize the public services (meritorious as they undoubt edly were) of his late immediate Commander, would not only be supererogatory, but presumptuous. He will, however, take the liberty to record, that, as Sir Charles's life was humanely occupied in constantly devising and executing measures to ameliorate and 'civilize the condition of the wretched Natives of Africa, so it was bravely, honourably, and consistently, although unfortunately, sa crificed in open warfare, in opposing barbarian violence and un provoked aggression.

Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over the said ',Land and D epe nd e ncies, Vice-Admit-41 thereof, President of the Illustrious Board of Cabildo, &c. &c. &c. We his Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Alcaldes in Ordinary, and the Regiders of the Inns , trious Cabildo, respectfully approach yoer Excellency ~~; ~, 4. .on an occasion which we deem of serious consequence to the prosperity of the Colony, and of vital import *lce to the interests, the rights, and the well being of Idle various classes of its inhabitants. The draft of an Order in Council, intended to be promulgated in this .Colony for the purpose of improving the condition of the Negro Slaves, has been published both in the Uri. tish and Colonial Gazettes. We are sincerely desirous of promoting every just measure by which the evils of slavery can be mitigated, and the happiness and well being of the Negro Slaves promoted. We hail with pleasure the beneficent intentions of his Most Gracious Majesty expressed in his Address to both Houses of Parliament to provide for the religious and moral in structions, and to ameliorate the condition of this class of our fellow-subjects. We were assured by the charac ter and by the expressed resolutions of the British Le gislature, that the measures for carrying his gracious intentions into effect, would be compatible with the well being of the Slaves themselves, with the safety of the Colonies, and with a fair and equitable consideration of the interests of property. Impressed with a deep sense of the duties we owe to the community over which we preside, and desirous to avert or at least to suspend a measure, by which in our opinion its prosperity is endangered, and its rights com promised, we beg leave humbly to represent to your Excellency our sincere and solemn conviction that the provision of the proposed Order in Council will be in• jurious to the well-being of the Slaves themselves, in compatible with the safety of the Colony, ruinous to the interest of the Master, and subversive of the most sacred rights of private property. Your Excellency is, by the Laws of the PArtldas, as well as those of the Recopilacion of the Indies, expressly entrusted with the power of suspending the operation of all Royal Orders which may be injurious to the prosperity of the community until a representation can be made to his Majesty, and his final determination thereon ex pressed. We therefore entreat your Excellency to exer cise a power which may, on this occasion, be exerted so beneficially for the interests and the preservation of the Colony ; and to stay the promulgation or the operation of the proposed Order in Council, until our humble prayers and representations can be laid at the foot of the Throne of your met gracious Sovereign. But in the event of pour Excellency not deeming it right to suspend the romulgation of the said Order, then u e do most re spectfully hereby declare to reset ye to the Inhabitants of this Colony, their just and legal claim upon his Majesty's Government for compensation for all losses they may now or hereafter sustain by their obedience to this Order,whether as arising from any depreciation in the value of their property, or by actual losses from acts of a most prejudicial tendency and greatly to be dreaded. And in the event aforesaid, we further pray your Ex cellency will either forthwith repeal, or recommend to his Majesty's Government the repeal of the 21st clause, by which a person is bound to prove a negative, the same being contrary to every system of jurisprudence, and which may be attended by most ruinous effects to the inhabitants of this Colony ; and also the 41st and 42d clauses. which contain penalties of forfeiture of pro perty for misdemeanours—penalties unknown to any code of laws for the offences therein declared ; and that in lieu thereof, the punishment that is applicable to such misdemeanours, either by the laws in force, or by those of Great Britain, be decreed only to attach thereto.

MARACHE, Regidor. L. LEPER. Regidor. Ettore ine, HENRY MURRAY, Dep. See. Cabildo. Hla TrILCiLLINCY THE GOVERNOR'S REPLY TO. THE FOREGOING : The Governor has received the communication which the Alcaldes in Ordinary and the Regidors of the illus trious Cabildo have addressed to him, upon the propriety of suspending the promulgation of the Order in Council that he has received for the protection of the slaves. The Governor has adverted to the laws alluded to by the eabilde. In that of the Partidas * he recognizes a benevolent disposition on the part of the Sovereign to receive the representations of his people, on subjects af fecting their local interests ; in that of the Indiest, how ever, the exercise of the powers thereby conferred is made to depend on the views which the authorities, to whom these powers are entrusted, may take of any order transmitted to them for execution. The governor does not think, upon mature reflection ; that those laws govern the present cafe. For nearly twelve months past, not only have the provisions of the Order been distinctly notified to the inhabitants, but every facility has been afforded to those 'who might consider themselves affected by the enact ment of them to express their sentiments on their pia. , bable effects. The representations and resolutions of the different quarters of the Island, have all been transmitted to his Majesty's Government without reserve; and the Order in question has since been framed, and has been sub mined to, and received unqualified, the approbation of both Houses of Parliament. The Law of Partida ad verted to, expressly commands, that if the Sovereign persists in the signification of his pleasure, his orders shall be carried into effect; and admitting, therefore, that law to be applicable on the occasion, the terms of it seem evidently opposed to the object rlf the Cabildo in teferring to it. The Governor regrets that the especial commands which he has received from his Majesty's Government for carrying this order into effect, will pre , eat his com plying with the wishes of the Cabildo; but his Excel lency will not fail to transmit to the Secretary of State the representation which that body have addressed to him upon the present occasion; aril in the meantime he relies with confidence on the fidelity and attachment of the Cabildo to his Majesty's Person and Government, to promote, within the sphere of their influence, did obedience to the law which is necessary to the tran quillity of the Colony.
