WARDS this day went in State from Government House to the Town Hall, to meet the other branches of the Colonial Parliament ; knd, from its being th' commencement of a new Ses sion, the Governor, upon the Representatives in the House of Assembly appearing beforehisn in the Coon- . cil Chamber,.delivered the following Address : " Mr. President, and Oentlanen of his Ihjesty's Council, " Twelve months have now-elapsed since I first had the' honour of addressing you from this Chair ; and it is with sincere and strong feelings of gratification, that I offer you my best thanks for the able advice and re►dy assistance which you have ren dered me, in conducting the important and difficult duties of my situation. " I trust that the confidence•which now exists between us. may not only continue, but be increased and more firmly ce mented, by a longer and more perfect knowledge of each other ; as I am convinced that only one sentiment prevails in common with us all—that of an anxious and heartfelt desire to endeavour to promote the general good of the Public; and, with such sen timents, I yet entertain a sanguine hope, that all eyes may be turned to that alone; and that tranquillity, harmony, and happi ness, may be restored to the country, by the well-combined co operation of all the branches of the Legislature. 44 Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, " The present House appearing (with very few exceptions) to consist of the same Memb-ra as those of the last year, it may not be improper for me now to express to them and to their Speaker, my very warmest thanks for the general Mud attention shewn to my wishes, publicly and officially made known to them; and I most sincerely and feelingly regret that my Lest should have proved an exception ; as I trust I speak with no erroneous confidence when I say, Gentlemen, there Is not one among you who will not do me the justice to believe, that my Message to the Speaker, conveying an especial call of the House, accompa nied by a document explanatory of my reasons for that call, did not proceed from any desire to dictate to the House, but unequi vocally and solely from an earnest and heartfelt desire to pro mote the welfare of the community by the expression of my wish, which had ever previously met with so much kind atten tion ; and now, acting from the very same feelings, and consider ing it my duty, as well as that of the other branches of the Legis lature, to endeavour to relieve the severe and cruel sufferings under which the poor of St. Michael's have too long been labour fog (and more particularly when the very existence of some may be at stake by delay), I do again beseech you, in the name of humanity, no longer to allow any cause to shut your ears to the loud cries of the poor; but to afford them some prompt and per manent relief, by an immediate Act for a levy to be raised by the late Vestry of St. Michael's, and to add a clause to the Bill new in force, to oblige all future Vestries to act until new ones I I may betlected. 4, Since the last meeting of the Council, the draught of a Bill for the amendment of the Slave Laws has been shewn to me ; on which, in the presentltage of the business, I have nothing to remark, more than to state, for your general information, that I cannot affix my name to any Bill enacting a new capital offence, Lnless it shall contain a clause suspending the execution thereof u:itil the sante shall have received his Majesty's approbation. " I would strongly recommend to your attention the nume-, rous evils which constantly arise from the want of a Police in Bridge-town ; with the hope that you may, after the due consi deration of a subject of such great importance, be enabled to enact a well-framed Bill for the establishment of an effective and energetic one, which might include all the various branches ne cessary for the preservation of goad order, as well as those for the prevention of the improper lauding of Aliens, and of persons labouring under infectious diseases. To my humble opinion, such a measure would prove one of the most beneficial which could possibly be adu?ted fur the good of your country. " I shall now, Gentlemen, conclude by offering you all my hearty congratulations on the present truly cheering prospect of most plentiful crops of every description, which, by a conti nuance of GOD'S blessings, I entertain a well-founded bops, may .be brought to maturity, and in great measure tend to relieve the country front its Mrs-rings and distress." TO 5A GO. ADORES& or rue arouse or ATIIMPLY. - _ " To his Excellency Sir Fredero Philip Robinson, Ste. Etas " May it please your t.:setney, " The 'louse of General Assembly, the Representatives .of the free independent Elertors of Tobago, resent themselves be. fort your Excell cy with assurances of their loyalty sod at tachment to our most gracious Sovereign, George the fourth. " The general pecuniary distress prevailing in this colony In duces his Majesty's faithful subsets to address your Excellency, in the hope that some relief may be given, so as to enable the vdony to support themselves under the pram:sof the burdeag row weighing so heavily on them. " When your Excellency was appointed to the government of this island, the finances of this colony were in a flourishing state ; and the produce of the island, the source from which our means were drawn, bore such a proportionate value as enabled the planter to meet the charges and expenses necessary for sup. porting the character and loyalty of the colony. " In consequence of such flourishing state of our finances, the calony was enabled to grant to your Excellency the sum of 4,0001. per annum (a salary much larger than ever given to for mer Governors), for the purpose of enabling your Excellency to support the character of the colony, always famed for hospita lity and the dignity of the Governor. 6 ' That this Colony, from the depreciation of he staple com modities, as per statement annexed, and the very small crops trade, owing to the ver y dr y weather last year,' the actual ne-1 c:ssity of providing means fur the public buildings now erecting and about to be erected, find themselves totally unable to am tinue your Excellency's salary. They conceive they would be unworthy of the confidence reposed in them by their constituents, did they not lay before your Excellency such a statement of their burdens as may induce your Excellency to follow the worthy example of our most gracious Sovereign George the Fourth, who, being well aware of the distresses of our mother country, and anxious to contribute to the relief of the burdens pressing so heavily on his subjects, has, with true paternal love for his subjects, reduced the expenditure of the Civil List ! " The once wealthy Colony of Jamaica has been map* with reluctance to reduce the salary of his Grace the Duke of Manchester, although that Nobleman, by his upright and Im partial administration, bad obtained the suffrages and good *pis Lion of all classes ; and nothing could have Induced suck a maw sure, but the overwhelming distress of that populous and ex tensive Colony. " Ills Majesty's faithful subjects, knowing that your Ends lency is well acquainted with the pecuniary distress pressing ups. all classes, and that your Execliency is sensible of the miseries of the colony, fur whose welfare you have always expressed an at tachment, hope tha: your Excellency willset such an example to the public officers, whose salaries far exceed the means of the to That this House, front feelings of respeet and delicacy, are unwilling to originate any measure in the shape of a Nita STAMM? or TUX EXPENSZS 11171XISEM ON lit IMAM 111 rem ISLAND Or TWO" llVNltgab AIM .1111111 r, 411/0 . 110,5, -1111?

THE GOVERNOR'S REPLY. " Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the Rouse of General Assembly, " Ist the Address with whlc you honoured me yesterday, it is stated that my salary is much larger than any ever before granted to a Governor, which I adrillt • but I must bring to -your recollection, that my immediate predecessor received large pecuniary presents from the colony, whereas I have expended nearly three thousand pounds currency in improving the Go vernment House and grounds, the latter being a perfect wilder ness when I arrived. " The Address further observes, that, k consequence of the heavy pecuniary distress now existing, the colony is unable to defray the expense of the public buildings now erecting, or about to be erected. If so, why not defer any new buildings until they can be proceeded upon without inconvenience? " Instead of the mode about to be adopted for raising sup plies, surely it would be more just and reasonable to call upon the absentees to contribute at least twenty per cent. from the sums they annually draw from their estates to support them in' the enjoyment of the comforts of Europe. Those Gentlemen' ought to be the first to come forward on this occasion, when the' security and profit of their property is at stake. " I see na reason why the Address should bring to my recol kotion the conduct of our gracious Sovereign, with regard to his reduction of the expenditure of the Civil List. His Majesty's generosity and goodness of heart has ever been, and will con tinue to be, an example to his subjects, and to all the world! But I require no stimulus to urge me to do that which I consi der right; the principles of rectitude and duty are sufficient In themselves for my guidance, in either my public or private station. " Still less do I conceive the necessity for mentioning the DuIN of Manchester ' for, were the whole amount of any salary to be deducted from that of his Grace, it would not be perceived. . " The Address remarks on the attachment I have always ex pressed for the Colony. I confidently appeal to the whole com munity, to declare whether my actions have not corresponded with my words in every practicable instance? " I am called upon for a voluntary contribution from my sa lary, withiu a few mt•nths after the full salary of £3OOO per annum had been gram. d to the Chief Justice during his absence from the Colony : wt re 1 to go to Earope, either from choice or necessity, my incur" e would cease. " The Address has not left me the option of a voluntary offer ing, for it strongly insinuates that unless 1 do come forward, the House will resort to a Bill for the reduction of my salary. That , part of the Address, therefore, cannot be considered as an appeal to my liberality. " That the colony is greatly circumscribed in its means et present, cannot he denied; but there is evidenty a prosp:ct of better times. But there is no such hope for nit ; for, on the 2.5 th instant, tv:u of the Major-Generals out 01 the three holding Governments will be reduced, when their staff pay and allow ances will cease, and the remaining one will have such an in crease of expense id his half yearly inspections as will consume a very considerable part of his income. " The House of Assembly expects that I will set an example to the public officers, which is evidently unnecessary, as a reduc tion of their salaries has been already resolved on. " With regard to toys: lf, the House of Assembly shall not be disappointed, it being my intention, provided I remain on the Staff, on the lit of January, 1152.5. to authorize the Public Trea surer to make such quarterly reductions from my salary for the public service, as will leave no doubt of my determination to serve the Colony. " F. P. ROBINSON, Governor. " July 12. urn." " - And with a iiier ofeolkelgi an - opinion 001104 rig abroad, that on no occasion the Work" of Goverams hue redpeed 4 did this House bring to pakr Bairlfences roleded fie' east of the reduction of the bailey of Ms Grace the Duke of Man chester. This House alma agree with your Einelinter's the view you have taken of the matter. • The redoctibn 'the. Go vernor's salary in so wealthy indpopulous,a Minirf iiTairsitWa; is a most convincing proof of the distreis generally prevalent in the West India Islands. ' 4 This House do not wish to Mums the meths of your celleney's administration of the Colony : in:papasl history will one day review it, and posterity will decide upon the Witelo.: But this House di declare that it was induced to adopt the moo of an address to your Rteellency In preference to the originates( a Bill, conceiving your Excellency would appreciate the swig* which actuated this House, and fondly hoping, from the Ottacb '444 tnitafetted for the welfert of the Catooyin pebtle and private by your Excellency, that you would,on such a faith ful eepresektarion of our calamities as wthare laid before You, have been induced without hesitation to give up part of your in come (far_eiceeding our means) to meet the wants of the Ctilotty, ( tottering on the very brink of ruin. " The House, on looking forward, can see no prospect of better times ; -the staple manufactures of this colony are daily di minishing in value. The intercourse with the United States, so much talked of, and from which much is expected by the san guine, is not likely to be so beneficial in its consequences ; for by late accounts from that quarter, rum does nut produce a sufficient return to enable the planter to pay the expense of making it. " In continuing the salary of the Chief Justice during his ab *ewe from the colony on leave granted by your Excellency, this House considered itself as discharging a debt to as old servant to this colony, and that Mr. Pigget, at his advanced period of life, borne down by the weight of domestic affiktion, was entitled to the favour, kindness, and protection of this House. - CHRISTOPHER IRVINE, Speaker. " House of Assembly, July 15, 1622." THE GOVERNOR'S VIRAL REPLY. " Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the house of Attembly, " What I have heard in this Address only serves to confirm the propriety and justice of my answer to your first Adgitess." fklE EVENING ST.ltt. The pleadings at the Court of Assiteti at Poitiers Were continued on -Saturday, and were erected to close on the following day. The intilligenee from c neec e is not of much impoitance., An article frouilb'eter burgh,.of the 10th ult. says---:The news of thUmaids of several Turkish corps acrois Thessaly and lavadia; against the More*, is fully confirmed. 11 - gsicies I ,Cuotiascatn PACIIA, the Pacha of Salonica, - vvinS had nothing more to fear in Mace lonia, has also ad= ,lanced with an imposing force by Larissa and Tiler:: :rnopyla, on Livadia ; and probably it was he who detached the corps which proceeded from Negropont against Thebes and Athens. But this is all *c at present know of the military operations in those quar ters. Neither the strength of the opposing armies, the positions they occupy, nor the itsue of the corn bats which have taken place between them, is at all known.. If there had been a great battle in the early part of July, it is almost impossible that the news should not have arrived here, whoever might have had the advantage. But no one of the Embassies, and no mercantile house of any eminence has received any news of this kind. At present it is certain the Turkish fleet, amountitig to 120 vessels, haling on board 20,000 troops, has not stopped at any c:;e %jibe islands of the Archipelago, but has proceede& to the More; where it is to assist the operations of tl.e army. Very decisive events must soon take place t!:ei c. A letter from Constantinople, dated the 10;11 GE August, confirms the report of the death of the Greek Patriarch. It appears, however, that he has not been the victim of any violence on the part of the Turkish Government. He died on the Bth of dropsy. His funeral took place on the 10th. On the same day the Porte authorized the election of his successor, and six Greek Bishops, who had been detained as hostages in the Seraglio, were at the same time set at liberty.— The election fell upon one of these Prelates—the Bishop of Calcedonia: The Porte had previously in timated, that if the choice fell on any of the detained Bishops, the approval would experience no difficulty, provided the candidate had the necessary qualitica dons, which, however, are not inconsiderable: for he is required. to poisess experience, prudence, ability, erudition, and , fidelity to the Government. It is sail that the Patriarch had written a letter to the Sultan, in which he solicited the abolition of an impost ex tremely burden , ome to the Greeks of the capital, as well as to the Armenians and Jews ; that the Sultan received this application favourably ; and that before the death of the Patriarch the tax was repealed.

" To His Excellency Sir Frrdtrick Philip Jtubinson, Knight Commander of the Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath, Captain-General and Governor In Cbief in and over the Island of Tobago and its Dependencies, &c. &c. &c. " May It please your Excellency, " The Speaker and House of General Assembly beg leave again to approach your Excellency, and renew their assurances of uabotuided loyalty and attachment to their most gracious Sotseafige. " The House have heard with pain and extreme regret, the, answer your Excellency has been pleased to give to the repro;' sentatlon of the calamities and distresses of this once flourishing Colony. The facts stated by this House are so strong and over- 1 whelming, and so many additional ones are constantly presenting themselves, that this House contemplate with fear, dread, and anxiety, the future prospects of the Colony. " This House are perfectly aware of the additional grants made to your Excellency's immediate predecessor, bat be leave to inform your Excellency that one of these grants, to the amount of £835, was made to enable his Excellency Sir Win. Young to furnish Government klouse, which was in a most destitute con dition s and the other, to the amount of £lOOO, was given to enable Sir William Young to support the dignity and character of the colony. But this House beg leave to observe, that Sir William Young had no Staff appointment, and in every other re 'yea his income was greatly circumscribed. That Sir William Yowl expended the whole of his salary as Governor in the co. May, in supporting its reputation for hospitality, and it was bat. common justice to make him some compensation, as by his 11- 'llerality and generosity he, in an extraordinary degree, raised the character of the colony, and gave it a lustre which it would have still, no doubt, enjoyed, but for the overwhelm ing distreu which is pressing upon it. " The House have heard with astonishment the magnitude of the sum expended by your Excellency in improving the Govern ment-house and grounds, but they beg leave to call to your ro. collection, the returns laid before this House, of the immense tams expended since your Excellency's appointment to the cons mad of this colony ; on this object amounting to no lea than a sum of twelve thousand pounds. " Your Excellency must be perfectly aware of the situation of lbw agony as to its. public buildings, and of the impossibility of dr election of such as mein peeress : were the emetics, .e Wen. to be discontinued, the colony would be wiebent a house la which to hold Courts for the administration of Justice, the old Court-house Willa such a ruinous condition as to render it unsafe for any number of persons to meet therein; sad as to the erection of other buildings indispensably necessary (a jail for instance), this House is wholly unable to carry the .same into sliest without some assistance and relief. " This Haase beg leave to call to your Excellency's recollee. dais, the urgency with which your Excellency pressed the ne. cessky of erecting such buildings, both to this House and else where. And this House cannot forget that all you io4uence was exerted for carrying into effect meows& so essentiallykeces seri for the character and reputation of the colony. es Th e mode of raising a tax ea absentees has often.lfeen sug gested to the consideration of individuallnembers.orthis House, bat insapeyable have presented themselves to such a. measure, and this House well know that such a node of tax ation Is sea egly reprobated by his hisiesty's Government.

Of the objects which induce the Holy Alliance to hold another Congress, and of the feelings and dis positions by which these would-be arbiters of the des tinies of the world are actuated, few persons can be ignorant. Their motives have already been deve loped—their wishes are sufficiently known, and nothing remains but see the means to which they will resort to accomplish their object. The French Government, since the last restoration of the BOURBONS, has scarcely been consulted on the general affairs of Europe; but the critical situation in which France is placed, as to the state of public feeling, renders •it necessary to admit her as a party lat the approaching Congress. No one doubts that, the BOURBONS would go as far as any members of the Holy Alliance in putting down liberal opinions, did not their fears operate as a restraint; it is, how ever, said that the present Ultra Government or France has determined on braving every hazard, and that M. de MONTMORENCY, the French representative at the Congress, is charged with proposing the fol lowing measures to Congress : _ _ _ 1. A uniform measure of compression to be adopted against the present popular feeling so alarmingly prevalent in Europe; for which purpose the Contracting Parties are to provide a mili tary contingent, to be employed at the request of any one of the parties, the internal tranquillity of whose State may be menaced; and the employment of this contingent not to be considered as in any way interfering with the general relations of amity exist ing between the countries. S. A general law for the regulation of the Press, which is to suspend all local laws now authorising a greater latitude of publi cation than may be thought consistent with the new European 1 1 arrangements. _ _ _ _ _ _ 3. The erection of a Tribunal upon the principle of the Haynes Tribunal established at Troppau for the punishment of offences against the German Confederacy, for the trial and punishment of offenders against the order of things now existing in Europe. The authority of this Tribunal to extend ova all Represent► tire Governments, to the extent of bringing under its action in dividuals who may, from the Tribune of their National Asilena blies, hold language and inculcate doctrines deemed subversive of the present system of legitimacy. 4. A measure which may induct or compel Spain to enterints the views of the Holy Alliance, by the establishment of a Cheat. her of Peers. If the Congress should have the hardihood to listen to such a proposal ; and, if in consequence of the apathy of the English Minister,' or his inability to overrule it, an attempt should be made to carry a pro ject so infamous into ,effect,, it will be easy to foresee the consequence, that of lighting up the torsh of civil war in every part of Europe; and hurling the CONSTANTINOPLE, AUGUST io. Perfect tranquillity still prevails here. We have nothing new from the Morea. The Egyptian flotilla having joined the Turkish fleet, the latter sailed for the Morea on the 23d July. Lord Strangford had a conference a week ago with the Reis Effendi, with a view to induce the Porte -Ist, to acquaint Russia, by a note, with the nomina tion of the Hospodars ; 2dly, to send a Negotiator to 4Caminiee, to treat, as Russia desired, with M. de Tatischeff. The Porte refused, and it is feared that it will Rot be brought to consent : yet some hope that fanaticism and pride will yield , to a spirit of conciliation. Most of the Genoese vessels which were bound for the Black Sea have returned in ballast to the Medi terranean. Two of them having received their papers from Odessa, have hoisted the Russian flag. Genoese ships that come here with Russian papers will not meet with any difficulties. The number of rioters and mutineers who were executed, imprisoned, or banished, during the dis turbances in July, is estimated at between four and 5,000. It was made known that, if the five. Orris did not expel from among them the authors or those terrible disorders, the Sultari would make use of the power given him by the Sultan Soliman, and disband those regiments. BERLIN, AUGUST si. Count de la Ferronnaye, French Ambassador to the Court of St. Petersburgh, has passed through here, on his way to Vienna. The Chevalier Verstolk de Soelen, Minister Plenipotentiary from the Nether lands to Russiap has also arrived here from St. Peters burgh. SWITZERLAND, AUGUST sr.'
