Tae BRITIPII PRriti cnovocnceil ftubliAhinz yesterday morning at 'quarter past lire o'clock. LONDON, IVEDNEADAY, Al GUST 4, 1821. The good weak of ref • g our West India Colonies seems to prosper. By letters from Demerara we learn, that there has been a regular strike among the slaves, and that they are coming in to inquire of the Governor, whe- , thee or not they arc obliged to work for their masters any longer ; and the inhabitants of Trinidad, after remonstrat- i iag in vain against the order which is to make them the subject of a philanthropic experiment, and finding that the Governor of the island had no option or discret' ry power ou the subject, have set themselves down cal to wait till the ruin, which they ace is inevitable, shall cr ude them. Ns 1p has told a story of certain boys, who tried bow frogs would bear a pelting on the head with !tones, and who were very much astonished at the audacity of one of the unfortunate amphibii in te rn itnling them, that though to boys this might be s.'ry good fun, yet it was death to the unlucky frogs. The inhabitants of Trinidad have stated the cline thing to the Legislature of this country, but whether it will meet with the same sympathy as the remonstrance of their prototypes time alone can show. In the man time we would remind these experimentors of what Burke said of sonic others of their class thirty years a..0--' , Such men feel nu more for the happiness of a whole gen , ration of the human race, than they would fur t! , e fat: of a frog under an air-pump." We have deter mined that, so far at least as our poor influence may go, we shall not allow sneh palpable spoliation to go on, with out the public of Crt at Britain being made aware of it. la the mean time it may be as well to remind the zealous in the cause, that legislating fur colonies who had no repre sentatives in Parliament, lost us the l'ulted States of Ame rica ; and though the West lollies have not the same paver of resistance within themselves as duse had, yet, if we drive them to extremith s, as they themselves have al ready hinted, they may find friends able and willing to help them to shake us off. In another part of our paper will he found the continuation of the evidence of the Wesleyan Missionaries, with regard to their reception by the 11 est India planters. /he improved condition of Ireland, its returning tran quillity, growing out of a reviving confidence in the pea.- ssutry, that all is done for their alleviation which emu be done— the failure of all efforts to stir up sedition, owing to the visibly-declining influence of the Orimosfiretion, which had so long tried the patience and long-suffering of eight millions of their fellow-subjects, have so discomfited that faction, and dispiritril its leaders, that all hopes of estab lishing their triumphant dynasty seems for ever at an end. The following ertruurdinarg fuel will furnish evidence the most decisive of the returning repose of Ireland:—Some time since, the Dean and Chapter of St. Patrick's, Dublin, addressed a representation to the Loan Lir rt. I. NA NT, stating that a large quantity if timber belonging to 6;d:reru n:rot was stored so near the cathedral awl library, as to I irdanger the safety of these edifices. The Board of Works reported that this timber had been purelurscil and ear:rafts:sr for the purpose of lairrirmlning the street, ?fOust.ix, at the close of the administration of the EA PI. TA L 110 T, a abort time IN:fore the arrival of the Ai A out; IS E LLtSLIY!! The Board of Works having. "Pried t his l ila.r to be useless, and recosmnended that it should be put up for public sale, the materiel of these projected fortifications were accordingly sold by auction! This speaks volumes as to what was the desperate condition of Ireland previously to the present change of system. In fact, nothing but this change of system would, it is mani fest, have saved her from the horrors of civil war, for what was it bit the oppaite system that begot that dread ful spirit of insurrection against which these prepar ations were made? Had hostilities commenced, the regi mented idolaters of " the Glorious Memory" would, no doubt, have shewn themselves the faithful organs of the EXECUTIVE DIRECTORY of IRF.I.AND. The ORANGE Leaders too would have shewn themselves not insensible to the value, and to the safety of their places; they would have made choice of the beat rids, from which to send their detachments; with the well-appointed staff which they would have had, they would have reaped sheaves of laurel in the glorious maintenance of monopoly, and in defence of their exclusive right to all employments of trust anti profit, civil, military, and ecclesiastical. Fortu nately, the recall of Lord TALUOT at that critical joie tore enables us to estimate the value of that system of policy adopted by the M A Roe is WELLESLEY, which, grounding itself on all the higher qualities of the mind, has overcome all the deep-rooted causes of sedition which it had to en counter, and saved Ireland from experiencing those scenes of misery which were opening upon her. The present state of that country is a proof of the willing obedience always paid by the people to power, exercised in the spirit of eqnity. This instance proves the influence of individuals st the head of a certain station, to turn back, as it were, the title of events, and to coun teract, by their foresight and ability, the operation of general and, apparently, inevitable causes. Much, un doubtedly, retrains to be done ; but regarding the present as an earnest of the future, the Catholic has everything to hope. The exclusive political influence of the Protestant party, and the desire to retain it, has laid them, hitherto, under the necessity of being unjust. But it is to be hoped they will grow wise (Dough, in time, to sacrifice their selJLde to their Arvid interests, and to abandon cheerfully, anti from a sense of justice, that persecuting and proscrib ing spirit, against the effects of which it bad been found tieceAsary to barricade the metropolis, and from the calami tous consequences of which Ireland was so fortunately rescued by that change of system which is at present pre paring the way to its future greatness, and to its " union in the bonds of peace." The ..If,rninz Chronicle, a paper with whose opinions we are habitually at variance, has the credit oI laying before the public a statement of barefaced injustice and fraud, which it becomes every one, who has the real honour of his count: y at heart, to bold up to the public at large, for the purpose of calling forth their unmeasured abhorrence on the haad of the oppressor. The story is simply this : A poor man, a yeoman of Surrey, possessed a field aituattil in the midst of the estate of a rich landholder, who was de'ermined, per . fits et nrfas, to get possession of this Naboth's vineyard. After all kinds of vexations annoy ance, bribes, and every other means had failed, the rich man resorti il to an expedient which must convince every one who hears it that, whatever his rank in society may have been, he hail not the most distant idea of what the word gentleman mesnt. A piece of wood under the value of a shilling is found on the poor 1111111 . ti property; how It came there does not ap pear, but from the evidence adduced, and the whole cotn ',lotion of the ailltir, a man can hardly be supposed to be extremely uncharitable who believed that it was smuggled there for the nonce. Upon this proof he is dragged before a Magistrate, who reluctantly sends him to gaol, where lie is kept for weeks on prison fare, and among all the outcasts of the felons' side. Ile is brought to trial, honour ably acquitted, and escapes with merely the emaciation which the squalcr rart-criN must necessarily cause, and the burning feelings which a unse o 7 injustice and undeserved contumely cannot fail to produce on an honest, ingenuous, and innocent man. Dunng his confinement he is tampered with to make him jzonfess himself a felon ; his wife is acted upon to see if , fear and starvation would compel her to induce her hus band to abandon his just rights, and a ditty ruse is at-, tempted to throw him off' his guard, and make him stand his trial, without Counsel to defend him, that he might be the more easily entrapped by the legal force brought against him . We give our cotemporary every praise for the inde pendent and manly way in which he has dragged to light this odious, nn-English, ungentlemanly, and disgraceful proct eding ; and we rust that the Gentlemen of Surrey will mark their detestation of the act by their treatment of the wretch who has been guilty of it. It is such outrages as these against honour and good principle, such abuse of power and of law, that produce radicalism and discontent among a high-minded peasantry, who, if treated with kindness, er even with justice, would be warmly attached to their superiors, their King, and the Constitution under which they live. The Canadian Company, which we fortncrly mentioned, has now lr...en fairly orpnised, and we understand that all the shares are already bespoke. Whether we consider this as a mercantile speculation, or as a grand piece of colonial policy, or as a means of benefiting the indus trious and redundant population of this country, we must admire it. At a future period we may cuter more at length into its plans and details; in the mean time we give the annexed as the proposed prospectus The two Canada.% are among the most important depentler.sies of the British Crown, and the Upper Province, in particular, en. joys great advantages of soil and climate, In which respects it is equal to the States oft fhb) and New York. liut the progress of cultivation has not been carried to the saute prosperous extent, and the population is still thinly spread over the country. The want of capital sufficient to form establishments upon a scale calculi:iv:l to raise a surplus of produce fin exportation, has been a great cause of the languid progress of improvement in Upper Canada. The original settlers were, fin the most part, emigrant families and refugees, sith but little or no property, and those who have resorted thither since, arc persons chiefly of the same de scription ; insomuch, that it may be justly said, that the prospe rity of the Cutony has hitherto been almost entirely tlependat.t on 13111M111 labour and indisidual exertion. rheKe circumstances baring been represented to Government, his Majesty's Stxretary of : 4 4.1e fur the Colonial I►rpartment, desi rous to encourage the introduction of ipitul into thu Colony, has agreed to dispose of the lands reserved for the (*malt. and the half of those reserved fin the soprirt of the clergy, in such a nusnncr as to facilitate that great object. t !roan and Clergy reserves con sist of tro-sevcisths tin lots of 'NU Arles each) m all the lands granted by llovemnn•ut since 1791 ; they intersect all the scliled districts, and are, in many plate., alrrstly surrounded by cul tivation. It is, therefore, prnposed to form a Compriy, to be incorpo rated antler the 151111131011 of bis Akio4ty's Gocerament, the obp.tts of which will be : I. To purchase those portions of the Crown and Clergy re serves as shove dearrib,d. 2. To give immediate employment to emigrants on their arrival in Canals. 3. 'fa prepare, by clearing the lands and building bowies, &e. for the octtlettunt 01 persons and fsimlics to whotu the lands may be sold or let, as may be agreed on. 4. To make acivuuces of capital, in small sums (under superin. tendence, at the legal rate of interest in the ninny, which is six per cent.). to such seuleni, on the lands of tin 'imminny, as may re. quire it, withholding the titles till the titivancia air repaid, as well as the price of th: lends. L To give in this country, to persons intending to emigrate, in.. formation regarding the lands of the l'ontrany, and to facilitate the • transmission of their tunas, butt not to interfere with the conreputee l lot emigrants ti To promote the general Improvement of the Colony, whether it be in making island corrommications, connected with the lands and interests of this Company, or in extending the cultivation of , articles of export, such as Aar. hemp, tobacco, ke• The population of Upper Canada, from emigration and natural increase, has more than doubled within the last fifteen years ; and, Oil an average. about 10,000 persons have fur several yams annually arrived at Qaebec. Regard to these circumstances has been had in the arrangement with Blvernment ; and, accordingly, the proposed Company is to be allowed fifteen years to fulfil the contract, not being bound to take possession in any one year of more land than upon a reasonable calculation may be required ; but no limit is put to the quantity which may he taken, so that the operations of the Company will proceed according to the progressive settle ment and population of the Colony. Thus the Canadian Company presents what no other public establishment in this country, formed purposely for profit, ever has done, the attainment or an object esteemed of great national importance, founded on the basis of security on lands, that, by the necessary effect of the application of capital, will be increased in value every year. The price to be paid is according to what shall appear to have been the price of uncleared lands in the Colony on or before the Ist of 31areli hat, when the de%ign of the proposed Company could not have bten known in the Province. The capital of the Company is to be 1,00 0 , 000 !. to be raised in 10,900 shares of 100!. each. It is proposed to call for a deposit of f,!. per share, and due notice of all further payments will be given. Not more than the first instalment will be required in the present year. The Committee who have undertaken to form this Company are authorised to state, that a Charter will be granted, and that Lim rernoient will sanction an application to Parliament for an Act of Incorporation. The affairs of the Company to managed in London by a Board of Directors, Ac. and, in Canada, by a Hoard of Commissioners appointed by the Directors. On Wednesday last the Duke of Gloucester (lined with the Corporation of Gloucester, of which body his Royal' highness is the Lord High Steward.

Yesterday Mr. Finersey, an extra Messenger, was sent off with despatches from the Colonial-office, in Downing street, for Alcona. The I slit ult., the Duke of Buckingham and his party, leaving their yacht at Inverary, came actors the country to APLellan's Inn, at Tarbet, where they slept, and next day, in Otte of the boats belonging to the house, they visited the most prominent point► in that delightful scenery. Friday Lord and Lady Macdonald, the lion. Misses Macdonald, the Hon. Gulfray and James Macdonald, left Edinburgh, on thir way to Arniadale Castle, their seat, in the island of Skye. The lion. Colonel Fitzgibbon came over In the steam packet from Calais which conveyed Mrs. Wellesley Pole, and family, to this country. Our readers, who recollect a late bit of scandal that was bruited in one of the Courts or Dublin, and 4 corresponding bit of scandal that has been mere recently bruited in the fashionable circles of Paris, will consider this accidental association somewhat strange anti singular.

John O'Connell, Esq. of Orena, NMI President. The Company consisted of 70 persons. 'l'ho assembly separated at three 'o'clock in the morning, delighted with the manner in which the enter tainment passed. Several songs were sung in the course of the night, and the Kerry band accompanied the toasts with appropriate airs.—lrish Observer. The sa'e of time late Bishop of Chichester's library by Mr. %Vahan's, commenced yesterday. The books went off at good prit es. The sale was most respectably and nume rously attended. Mr. Baynes was a considerable purchaser. The mart valuable portion of this library will be included in the second and third days' sale. On Thursday the very Rev. Principal M`Farlane, and the Rev. Mr. MsFarlan of Polmont, were inducted into the respective parishes of the High Church and St. John's Church in this City. The .Rev. Mt. Lapslie of Campsie eloquently preached . and presided upon the olcasion. The Presbyters, the two Sessions, the new incumbents with their friends, and other gentlemen, afterwards dined with the magistrates.—Wasgow Chronide. At the meeting of the Catholic Association at Dublin, on Saturday, Mr. O'Connell read over the several topics he meant to propose at the Aggregate Nteeting, to he held the first week in November—viz. the Puor Laws, Tithes, Con stabulary, Paving Board, &c. The Association adjourned to October. Ailviccs have been received from a rzsp. , ctable Nieman tile House in Paris, stating, that the duties on French merchandize in Ilavannab bad In"en placed on the same footing as national goods, that is, they are to be admitted on the payment only of six per cent. This is considered as a douceur on the part of King Ferdinand in return for the great services he has received from his Bourbon relatives. Mr. Zea Bermudtz, the new Spanish Minister, was I formerly a merchant in Malaga, where he became a bankrupt. He then tried his fortune at Cadiz, and. by dint of intrigue, obtained, through the influence of Davila, an appointment under the Regency, by whom he was sent to Russia, where his great talents enabled him to conclude the celebrated treaty with the Emperor Alexander. Ugarte, the notorious confidante and favourite of Faclinand, was introduced to the King by Bermudez, who is now indebted to Uorte fur his appointment. Bermudez has declared to a great capitalist that he desires to sir Ferdinand adopt the conduct of other Sovereigusclay Walling the financial en gagements of their Ministers; but that on account of the great power of the Clergy he emnot interfere.

The following extract is from the Guiana Chronicle of the lath of June : " We are sorry to learn that within this last fortnight the gangs of three estates between Georgetown and 3lahaica have refused to do their work, and that the principal pars of each of them have ' been down to the Fiscal, to lodge complaints against their owners or managers. These complaints, we understand, have been, for the most part, of a frivolous and vexatious nature; but we have vet to learn what measures his Excellency the Governor, or the Fiscal, has adopted, or intends to adopt, to prevent the recuirence of this improper and disorderly conduct on the part of the slaves fur the future. A great nutiiher of the nqtrocs from the Big Diamond estate up the river came down to gins this morning; anti if some decided steps are not promptly and vigorously enforced, his Honour may empect to he visited in a short time by the gangs of all the estates in the country. A listless toleration on the pan of the Exe cutive of this striking of work by a few evil-disposed negroces will prove not only highly subversive of all discipline among that class of people in general, hut will be a source of very considerable injury I to the just intet.aits of their masters." wi ll net fail to transm it to ti:6e The Governor regrets, that the especial commands which he 1 of it seem evidently opposed to the objects of the Cabildo in ro w , occasion; and in the IneyAn titneadre ' ring to it. d w at hi ta ch chm tha en t t o bo f ti the raw 1,- n o a r e d ` . rece in iced ef f t . corn his Majesty's Government, for carry ing rei, We have received a file 4 — Calcutta Papers to the 21st of March, from which we make the following extracts : ect, will prece pt his a:implying with the wishes .: A battalion of native infantry has been ordered from Rename, to the t o Cabildo ; but his Exce llency ' Secretary of Sta i te the proceed towards the eastern fror.tier.

The Envoy from Ave, in company with the Cochin Chinese Deputy, who had returned with him front that country, had reached Saigon safely in the Portuguese ship, in which a pas. sage had been hospitably taken for him by the Hon. Mr. Phillips, the Governor of Penang, after the destruction of his own junk by a fire in the harbour of that place. Front thence he had proceeded to the capital.

A meeting of the Board of CabiWo had been held subsequently to the general meeting of the inhabit ants of the colony, a notice cf whose petition, and ►he Governor's answer to it, appeared in the British Prrss of the 6th of July. At this meeting of the Cabildo the fol lowing petition was agreed to, and was ordered to be pre sented to the G :ernor " TO lila EXCELLENCY SIR R•LP!I JAPES WOODFORD, RANT. GOY — NEON &r " We, his MajestiClnnstdutiftifand loyal subjects, the Aleal., I des in Ordinary, and the Re e eidon of the illustrious Cabildo, rt. spectfully approach your Excellency on an occasion which we deem of serious consequence to the prosperity of the colony, and of vital importance to the interests. the right., and the wellbeing of the various classes of its inhabitants. The draught of an Order in Council, intended to be promulented in this colony for the purpose of improving the condition of the negro slaves, has been published both in the British and Coloniel (lazettes. We are sincerely de sirous of promoting every just measure by which the evils of slavery can be nuogated, and the happiness and well-being of the negro slaves ptontoted. We hail with pleasure the beneficent intentions o f his Most Oractone 3lxjesty, expressed in his address to both Houses of Parliament, to provide for the religious and moral in. struction, and to amtliorate the condition, of this class of our fel. low-subjects. We were assured, by the character and by the ex. pressed resolutions of the British Legislature, that the measures for carrying hi. 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 p-operty. `• Impressed with a deep sense of the duties we owe to the com munity over which we pre.ide, and desirous to avert, or at least to suspend. a measure by which, in our prosperity is en. I (lingered and its rights compeomised, we beg have humbly to re. present to your Excellency our sincere and solemn conviet'en, that the provisions of the proposed Order in Council will be injurious to the well-being of the slaves themselves, incompatible with the safety of the colony, ruinous to the interests of the master, and sub. versive of the most sacred rights of pririte property. " Your Excellency is by the law of the Partidas, as well as those of the Itecopilicion of the Indies, expressly entrusted with the power of suspending the op erarion of all Royal Orders which may be injurious to the prosperity of the communtty, until a representa tion can be made to his Majesty, and his Cud determination there on expressed. We there:l,re en•reat your Excellency to exercise a power, which may, on this occasion, be exercised so beneficially for the interests and the preservation of the colony ; and to stay tile promulgation or the operation cf the proposed Order in Countil until our humble prayers and reprrentatior.s can be laid an the feat of the throne of onr most gracious sovereign. But in the event of your Excellency not deeming it right to suspend the promulgation of the said Order, then we do most respentully hereby derlare to reserve to the inhabitants of this colony their just and legal claims upon his Illajesty's Government for componsation for all losses they may now or hereafter sustain by their obedience to this Order, whethir R. arising from any depreciatien in the %edit, of th,ir petty, or by er:uel limeys from uets of a most prejudicial tendency, and 'greatly to be dreadtd." . . _ (S - t . .meinty the First ar.d Second Algaldes, and all the Ragidors.) To this his Excellency the Governor rcpied as fol lows : " The Governer has received the communication which the Al caldes in ordinary, and the itcgidors of the illustrious t'abildo, have addressed to I ' , upon the propriety of suspending the pro mulgation of the Order in Codncil that hells* received for tit: pro. twilit!' of the slaves. •• The tioveroor has adverted to the laws alluded to by the Va. bildo. In that of the Partidas, he recognises a bcnceuhut tion on the part of the Socerti,m to rm•ne the representations of his people on subjects affecting their local interests t it that of the lndtcs how:eer, the exercise of the powers thmehy conterrd is made to depend on the views whiz! , the authorities, to whom these powers ate entrusted, may take of any of the orders transmitted to than fur execution. '• The tioyernor tl:ics not think, upan mature reflee , ion, that those laws rowers the present cs.c. '• For nearly twelve months past, not only have the provisions of the Order been distinctly notified to the ithabitsnts, but every facility has been afforded to those who might consider themselves affected by the enactment of them, to express their sentiments on their probable effects. '•The representations and vesniutions of the di:rt.-rent quarters of the island have all been tan quitted to his Majesty without re serve ; and the Order in que.timi has since been trained, and has been submitted to, and received unqualifiedly the approbation of, both Houma; of Parliament. The law of l'artidas adverted to ex pressly commands, that if the Sovereign persists in the signification of his pleasure, his orders shall be carried into effect; and admit_ tog, therefore, that law to be applkablo on the occasion, chi corms cl z, r 1 Ili ~), W ~ .' ! t 'val COL Tw le me mul l !is ui MI deft t foi I . lotle - r [g n hial lis as e t ( as, :fll s ir e & t (Its stDI 1; Le 7 v t .4 ea he e i Rid, for En t• It , kra ehu.
