Our readers will recoreet the articles ne published abut tno months ago, in exposition of the imposture practised upon the wretched dupes of the a:lf-styled Cacique of Poyais alias Gregor MacGregor. It is koown that this ad. venturer, under pretence of an alwelnte cession of certain parts of the Mosquito shore by an Indian Chief, pretending to the Sovereignty, had work«l upon die credulity of a con siderable number of people in this country, and induced them, by specious representations, to buy land, and emi grate to his Poyaisian elysium. The history of the loans is also well known. We reported at length the pi...call ings that took place at the stormy meeting of the bond holders, iu August, at the Poyaisian Laud 011 ice, on towgate-hill. _ All these schemes failing, and the poor deluded creatures sent out to Poyais either perishing of hunger there or re hinting home in rags, the Ministers, Peers, Generals. and CommisAoncrs of the Cacique, threw off their allegiance, anti began virulently to expose each other. Letters, Me morials, and use phlets, appeared in rapid succession, from the pens of these worthy persons. each of whom charged all the rest with every sit:Ties of dishonesty anti fraud. At length, a publication has made its appearance which will, we trust, reduce them all to silence. We allude to the " Proceedings of an Inquiry and Investigation instituted by Major-General OHM, Soperintentlent and Commander in-Chief of &dia.., in the Bay of I londuratt." The investigation was undertaken by General Cold in self-defence, anti in justification of some of the magistrates of the colony which he superintends. CertaM persona con cerned, 311 they said, " in Poyaisi.tit affairs. - had addressed Lord Bathurst, the Secretary for the Colonies, in a memo rial containing, weighty charges against the magistrates and inhabitants of Belize; and a Colonel Low, connected with the same affairs, hail written a letter to :eh Lordship in a similar strain. His Lordship transmitted this memorial and letter to the Governor of lionduras, commanding him to examine the charge*. and transmit home the result. The investigation in consequence took place in the Court house of B. lize on the 10th of June. General Dahl pre ailed. A great number of wittunes were examined, and the result was thus announced to the Magistrates by lois Majesty's Stqwrintendent lientlemen—This itivettiption, or. more properly, inq p on uiry. twine now closed, I hare only to romirk, as instituted it u the firm persuasion that the charges were without foundation, an sot I happy to declare that the result Words me the greatest seta notion. —...... Every impartial mind must now distinctly perceive, from the pointed questions which I have Fut, that had there been a shale upon your conduct it must have been exhibited to the co: iiiii unity ; and your traducer.' cannot now sae that the y lientcfortli act in ig norance, as every advantv:e has been cfonit.l them by bearing the various statements on oath. „I shell transmit the whole to his 31 *jetty's Ministers. which must fully convince them that the charges contained in the memo rial are nog unjust, ungrounded. and undeserved.” Mr. Marshal Bennett, who was sent to Belize to inquire into the royals settlement, states in his evidence, that he found sickness and wretchedni 34 prevail to a great extent ; that in order to prevent " the waste of I all life," he took on board his vessel, lying off the Black River, " tot individuals, all, with the exception of three, latiguishieg on the bed of sickness and fever, and chiefly consisting of women and children." The vessel was afterwards again sent front ILlize, to bring away tht remainder of the set tlers, as well as the Caciques " Lieutenant-Goverum Hall," who appears to have behaved well on the occasion. This statement is confirmed by four Magistrates, and so distressed were the settlers, that General Cold jadged it pa:dem to appoint a Committee to superintend and regulate the chantable donations of public and private friends, to be approl:riated for the relief of these unfor tunate people. Mr. George Wesley, another officer belonging to our set tlement at Belize, learning from Mr. Gouger, one of the chief settlers of Poyais, and " banker of an imaginary bank," the state of the settlers, hastened to their relief, and thus describes their situation : . . . - - - " I t' ink it scarcely possible to witness greater misery than that which presented itself to us. lillost of the people were lying on theAdnund, under a few leaves and branrln-s thrown across some sticks, which it would be a violation of truth to call hour; many were in a state of ague and fever, and ahsolutely unable to crawl to the woods fur the emnmou offices of nature. The stench arising from this circumstance in the huts, the filthy and almost naked state hey were in, the absence of cleanliness and comfort. the want of good nurses, nourishment_ and, above all, of good water, combined with the want of medicine, seemed to by accele rating the work of death, which was already advancing from dis raw." will now turn to the evidence of the Cacique's Vice roy, Colonel Hall, who deserved a better °flier:— " I trust," says this candid Officer, " the above 'tie:merit may prove to this honourable Coon, that every exertion in my power, physical and moral, were brought into activity, to give permartente to this ill-fated establishment ; the difficulties opposed to me were beyond the removal of human exertions. Had I not availed myself of the opportunity presented by Mr. Itennett's arrival, and removed the settlers front fllack River, at a period when disease, aggravated by despair, was accelerating the work of death, I should have sub jeered myself to the severe visitations of Divine displeasure, and obnoxious to the merited extent:ohs of mankind. I must ever lament that I should have been the unintentional emote of drawing on 31ajor-General Code!, anti the respectable Rlagierates and in habitants of the settlements, such a - load of unfounded calumny and defamation. rie benevolence and hotnarity of Major-General Codd. the Magistrates, and respectable inhabitants of Belize, and their soteitnde to alleviate the sufferings of these unfortunate per sons, exceeded by most sanguine expectation's." Nothing more is necessary to show that the Poy . ais scheme has been one continued system of fraud and im posture ; and if the authors arc not without the reach of the law, we trust they will be made amenable to it ; for we can scarcely think, that, amidst the multiplicity of our sta tutes, there should nut be one under which du,. may be prosecuted. IVe have already published several state papers con nected with the rise and fall of the Gregorian dynorty of Poyais. We have now to add three others, which will complete the full view we have given our readers of this n.onstrous specimen of fraud and delusion. The first do cument is the ruvoestiou of his Mosquito Majesty's grant to Macgregor. "I, George Frederic Augustus the Second, by the grace of Cod. King of the Mosquito nation, do hereby decree the grant of land given to Sir Gregor 31'lisegsw null end void, he not having fulfilled hi* contract with me, agreeably to his stipulation; and leaving con nected a debt on a part of my territory, without my consent, mum irg to himself the title of Caeiqueuf t'oyeis, dee:aring the aforesaid grant to be an independent state.

We hnvel•efore us a new plan for Firing the metropolis.° Th e p r ,,j.. c o r , after pointing out Ihe rani' t, defects, and incantreni,ncies of the par2tr.ent (that ie. the carriageway Of the streets) of lAnltloll, and remarking on tin: had state of the Strand, which has recently been repay it at a grent expense, thus exp!ains the principle and detail of his plan : " Considering as an absolutely requisite principle for :he con. atruction of • good pavement, that the atones should be firmly fixed and immovable, I adopt that one principle, and shall endeavour to prove in the sequel, that every objection treated of may be obviated by the innairs pointed out fur effecting so great and desirable an object of public importance. Each stone, from a foreten or ex ternal force acting upm the surface of a pavement, is liable to two motions only, the gravitating and the lateral; these being guarded against, the end is attained. " The means of effecting this object, though simple, arc ex pensive ; but with Englishmen thin is not an insuperable objection. 3lorenver, I have a confident expectation, an 1111 l ming almost to a moral assrirance, that although the fir.. expenditure will be very heavy, yet the durable and lasting quaintest of a pavemeat so coil. attuned, will very shor.ly prove it to be the most expedient and econominal plan, partinularly as applicable to the leading tho. raughhires. I proceed to a developentent. " The ground being sunk In or 16 inches In Ins the footpath or fing.priventent. should be levelled and rolled hard, rising towards the middle of the street in a very small degree. Upon this ground, thus prepared, should then be laid planks two inches thick. well saturated (in order to their preservation) by pr,rvious soaking in coal tar, which is a very cheap commohity ; a few aurar holes, of minim an inch diameter, should be bored in Mein. These being laid side by side upon the gmund, either in the direction in which the street extends, or senor it Les may be considered nom con. venient in reference to the operations of the Commissioners of Sewer*, and the Water and flat Light Companies), will fonn a compact flnoring, upon which clean finely sifted gravel must be strewed two inches thick (to obviate inequalities and unevenness in the stories, and to pt-vent their indenting, crushing, or perforating the planks); the stones should then be linseed side by side upon the gravel, according to Cie present method, taking care that the lines ordiyisinn intersect each other, and that the stones are of an equal depth. timed should afterwards bretrewed over the surface lightly, in order to fill in between the stones. Any given space being thus laid and hounded. so as not to admit of any lateral imminent or change of position of the atones, wooden wedges should be inserted nto the interstices and lightly struck down, but only in •snill deg a • until the whole are inserted after which, in regnlar progression, all the wedges *Mind be struck in about half way. which may be done without much labourl and alien all are so done, then finally again, in regular progression, they should be struck in the whole way, with whatever fixer may be requisite, level and even with the stones, which thue conjoined, will form a plum's-it of • pleasing, even surface, of a firm, inimorable, and almost inupenrtral.le nature. superior to any ever yet formed. " A pavement thus constructed, would not for a series of years betromg dilapidated, and, as before observed, although expensive in the first instance, would amply repay a large expenditure. by the saving of succeeding ytars. The planking won't! last 20, 30, or many more years, according to the quality or properties of the timber, twin the nature of which I am incompetent to otter an opinion ; tut a proper kind may be chosen, and also for the wedges, many thousands of which may be daily made by a few men. Two sixes only will be remtired, ono for the ends of the stones, and and another for the sides ; the depth will be uniform according to the depth of the stones. " I proeer I to show the effects which I consider will result from this mode of paving. The earth being covered by planks, and therefore not subject to any diluent action, will maintain its mutual consistency, and cannot waste by being forced upwards to the surface in the manner such process takes place under the pre. sent imperfect system. The two-fold &leo of this will be, that the t avenient sill not lose its foundation by the sinking of the emit', and therefore it will maintain its surface; and also (as truly as the efrert follows the cause) the streets will be perfectly free from mud anti dirt ! ! ! " !laving shown that the planking will prevent the gravitating motion, anti the gond effect of such prevention, 1 proceed to the consideration of the wedges as applicable hi the prevention of the lateral motion and the effrots to be expected therefrom. In order to bring into effective operation the insertion of the wedges, it Is ab aolusely necessary that fixed boondaries should be formed. The cut b-ttones of the foot-pavement will form such boundaries. on each side of the street, and curb-stones or other restraining fabric may be imbedded across the street at distances varying, according to its width, and governed by other circumstance's, and forming either a regular or an irregular polygon or quadrangle: these boundaries will Isirm the resisting or restraining power, without which the wedges would he useless and inoperative; hut, being formed, the wedges may then be driven in as before directed, and the whole supertices will, as the wedges operate, gradually and progressively become compact and solid; and will, I have no doubt, maintain its surface unimpaired for many years. "The top of the wedges being driven to the exact level of the stores, the whole surface must therefore necessarily be even. This deeireble adjunct can by no means be effected by the present plan of paving, because whenever rain washes away or dilutes the earth, in the nitumer observed upon. interstices aro caused into which the feet of horses slip, and the friction of the iron destroys the angles. and shortly rounds the top of the stapes, an that a wheel ins cad of flirting over an even surface, with always an equal bearing, and rolling smoothly along with easy draught as on a railway, jolts onwards from the crown of one stone to the crown of another, form ing a convexity upon other convex forms, having only a partial bearing upon the very crowns, and not touching the intermediate ! parts: hence the stunning noise of the streets by the collision against each succeeding itane ; hence the inswing , ' and tumblinga in carriages; end hence an increased draught and unnecessary wear and tear of horses, carriages, and harness. " The pavement being formed according to this plan will he al most impervious to wet ; the stone. of course are so ; and as wood naturally swells when wet, the •hole pavement will become stronger and more compactly united in wet weather than in dry: but there will of course be small crevices and chinks through which the rein (Margit in a very small degree) will find its way to the planks; but the perforations provided in them, independent of the crevices between, will be fully sufficient to admit of the water passing to the earth, wlleh, from the protection derived front the planks and wedges, will possess in its consequent dry state very great power of absorption, so that the very email qaantity of rain which can reach ir, and which it will so readily Imbibe, cannot be of any injurious consequence. But should it be thought desirable wholly to ex clude rain from penetrating the surface, a small quantity of Parker aid IVyatt's cement, or melted pitch, poured sparingly along the line of artlgts, would render It impervious. Upon the whole I should assimilate the state of the streets, and compare them, when constructed upon tl:is plan, to a ship's deck, with the planks well caulked, front which starer runs with great facility. " Streets and places that are unusually wide, and not subject to be much used (as l'aetland-place and many of the squares), may be paved noon the new plan in the centre, arid convened into roa m on Mr. AP.ldam'a plan upon both sides. Tnere is much of general direction towards carrying the plan into effect which might be here noticed ; bat any aurveyor can de vise the means most effectual to render it of public beneht : minute points I pass over, haring given my attention chiefly to the defec tive principles hietevto prevailing, and to the invention or applica tion of a new principle to improve, and in some measure (if nun whollyi supersede, the former : nor is it necessary for me ir. Cie course adopted, in order to make the principle known and available to the public, that all the exactness and minutia requisite in a 'pe nile:Mori of an invention to ground a patent, should be observed." • Con%iderations on the defective state of the Pavement of the Metropolis: with obsn-vations on the causes and emu - An:menet-a Together it ith a Plan for Pabiog upon a nest principle.
