BERMUDA. IFrom" The Bernaudiaa," of May 10,1820.3 t"'As the proceedings of the House ,of Assem bly, on the subject of the Powder Fund, are not genktally known, and as the Speech of his Ex- . eellOncy the Governor bears marked reference to those' proceedings, we have extracted the smile from the Journals of the House for the par- TOse of enabling our readers to form a correct estimate of the merits of his Excellency's extra ordinary strictures on that question."] COLONIAL PARLIAMENT. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 241,189.0.. Mr. 11Ant., from the Committee appointed to search for Laws relating to the Powder Fund, tielisered in the following Report :-- We, .yetir Committee appointed to search for the several Acts of the Assembly, which autho rize and .have reference to the Public Fund of these Islands, commonly called the Powder • Fund, beg leave - to report — That the first Act of the series which we have been able to discover relati'ce to this Fund, is an Act entitled, " An Act for vessels paying Pow der Money," which passed the Legislature here in the year 1690. That the next is an Act entitled " An Addi tional Clause to an Act for vessels paying Pow der Money," -which passed in these Islands in November 1703. The third is an Act entitled " A Second' Ad tlitional Clause to an Act, entitled an Act .for Vessels paying Powder Money," which passed ! here in the year 17:23. The three foregoing Acts are in print- The next that we have been able to discover, is an Act in Manuscript, entitled, " An Act for,. collecting a Duty of Gunpowder." This Act' passed the several branches of the Legislature here on the 9th'of April, 174, and repeals the three preceding Acts, limey, the Acts of 1690,1703, and 1723. And we have to observe, in reference . to it, that we discover from the Journals of your House, die 'following circumstances connected with the history of its origin and progress. On the 3d of November,l74l, His Excellency Alured Popple., Esq. the then Governor, in an Address to the Council and Assembly, signifies his wish that such an Act might pass, in the fol• lowin. - terms : " c 't have ?.ktly received an Instruction from their Excellencies the Lords Justices, sig nifying his Majesty's express will and pleasure, " that I should recommend to the Assembly of these Islands, to pass a etiew Law for collecting a Duty of Powder, said if have ordered a copy to be laid before you for your direction therein."

Gken at Whitehall the thiroeenth day of July, 1.741, , in the fifteenths year of his Majesty's 'Reign. Whereas an Act was passed in ins Majesty's Is'laeds of Bermuda, in the year i 6 , 1 ,0-1, entituled, " An Act for Ves sels paying Powder Money," which Act is perpetual, and therein it is left to the-choice of the Masters,of Ships to tray Cie duty in kind or in money: But it has been found by ex ire:it:nee, that the receiving the said dotty in kind only whore , Gunpowder could possibly be had., has been of great service -in furnishing the I , Jagazines wait fuwder for the defence of Majesty's Colonies in tianes of .danger: It is his _Majesty's ooxeress will and pleasure, and von are hereby resuired and oli7ected to-recommend to the Assembly' of • your Government otoposs a new Lao v for collecting aOluty of ,"'under ; and that e.l,e Law for thst purpose be made perpetual.: That a certain Dime to the said Act, not exceeding twelve onoirtho, be allow for giving notice thereof to the several Masters of Vessels radiog to yourGovernment,doclaringthat front and atter the at lore limited in the said Act fur such notice, no cutottustation +hall be allowed of lout upon evident necessity, which may sometimes happen, whereof you, or the Commander-in-Chief tror the't tine being in his Majesty's said Islands, arc to be the Judge. In which case the said Master shall pay the full price Gunpowder sells for there : And the Money so collected shall he laid out as soon as may be in the purchase of Gun amoder And you are.also to transmit row , / six months to tl.e Commissioners for Trade and Plantatioos, an account of the particular quantities of Powder collected under the said Act in your Government, and also •a Duplicate thereof, to ;the Masterofeneral or principal °Ricers of his Majesty's Ordnance. J. A True Copy from the V 7.. P. Original, and examined by H. C. P. S. S. SMITH, Vert of the Coursed." On the itk of Norem'her, 1741, a Bill for collecting a duty of Goopowder is iutooduced in the House of Assembly, and read foe the first time; and on the 6th of the same month, a onessege is sent by the Governor, to know—" if any thing was done with regard to his Majesty's Instructiou relative to -Powder?" And on the same day the House of Assembly is _dissolved by the Governor, in consequence of disagreements preciously existing with him on other topics. On the 6th of April, 1741, a new Assembly meets; and Cie Speech of the Governor, in opening the Session, com mences with the following words :—" The Powder Act, which proposed to the last Assembly, not having been passed, al though recommended by Order of their Excedlencirs the Lords Justices ; some acts being - expired, and others expiring, tire the 'reasons which induces me to call you together at this tioe, that you xaay have an opportunity of obeying their Ex cellencies' directions to a point so much fur your interest!' Oat Doe 7tti of April, toy order of the House, a Bill was tbrooght in, for " collecting a Duty of Gunpowder :" which .accordingly passed on the 9th of the same mooth; and a message from the Governor on the very same day announces 'is assent thereto. tin tise.3d of 1744, the Governor, in a message to the Vicrose, recommends them to pass an Act in amendment of the Powder Act ; and on the same day, by Order of the House, the Secretary attends, and suggests such anrendmendo as he thinks necessary, to enable hint to perform effectually the Duties of. his Office as Collector of Powder. Alt the 4th of July, accordingly, a Bill was brought in, for jUpendiow the Powder Act ; on the tuft of the sante month, it Massed time House, and on the 7th was returned assented to by the Governor. 1796, an Act passes the Legislature here, for the Q in : pose of repealing a duty of Gutt Powder, of 1741, attd its oromendinent of 1744, excepting however such part of the Act ut t 741 as had repair(' the several Acts for Vessels pitying Powder Money of 1690, 1703, and 1713. To this Act is a clause suspending its force until his Majesty's pleasure should be had thereon, and made known in these Islands ; and it is generolly unelerstood that his Majesty's pleasure bas been to disallow the said Act. The last of the Acts which your Committee have been able to .iiiseover relarise to the Powder Fund is, an Act of Sept. taut , entitled, " An Act authorizing the Public Treasurer of • t hese Islands to be the Receiver of the Fund commonly called the Powder Fond." This Act, like the preceding one of i 736, passed the Legislature with a suspendiug clause for his Majesty's Assent, which .Assont having been withheld, it has of course never become a Law. In further reference to this above meet ioned Aces of 1742, aqui 17 it, your Committee beg also to call your'attention to the following notice on the minutes of their House, during the Administration of his Excellency Governor Bruere, which they extract hots n amongst various others which might also be quoted—viz. Oct. It, 1766, " Then Mr. Lewis, flepty. Secretary, at tended and delivered the following message, viz. " His Excellency bah ordered me to acquaint Mr. Speaker and the House of Assembly, that the late Assembly on their result rrfconferencit of the 17th .Aug. f 764, and on the 28th September following did -rote and consent to the repairs of the Magatine, but did not raise or appoint any Fund f o r that !impose, or point out any meant to find sort proper workmen. His , Excellency further observes, that *1 that time lie thought it was nut its his power to' sell err dispose of any Powder with out leave from home, and expressed himself in that manner; but finds by his instructions when any conimutation cart be allowed of, he is to be the judge of tire necessity of it, whicla . he hopes may he turned to assist the said necessary work." And to the following Resolution of the House of Assembly of June 12, 1790, it, the time of Governor Hamilton ;—" Re solved, as the opinion of this House, That the produce of the Fund established by an Act, entitled • An Act for collecting a duty of Gunpowder,' is expressly by that Law appropriated to the sole pur,pose of furuishing Gunpowder to the. use of his Majesty's Government, and that a different application cannot be entered upon . , without departing altogether from the original intetttionoT the grant." Irt therefore seems to your Committee, that the only Act now in force, which authorises the levying a tax for the pur poses of the Fund commonly called the Powder Fund, is the Act of 1742, and its amendment of 1744; and that these Acts were not only passed in obedience to a Royal Instruction, bat were afterwards recognized by the King in a subsequent in• struction to Iris Excel/cm:) , Governor Bruer:, in the year 1766; and also that Ilse Crown has invarioui instances since refused its absent to any Act repealing the same. It has appeatett i Mideed, from a perusal of your Journals, that immediately on the Act of 174 beconaing a law ► and till within a recent period, it hat been in complete send ttoquali fiedioperation. The Tax levied by it has been paid as there in directed, arid bas been repeatedly disposed of by the joint Votes of the Legislature, for various and dissimilar purposes. DANL. ROBT. TUCKER. THOMAS HALL. Ordered., That the following Message be sent to His Excellency the Governor : " May it please your Excellency, " We are directed by the House of Assembly to request your Excellency will be pleased to direct the Receiver of the Powder Fund to lay his Accounts before' the House, at its next wetting.

Resolved, therefore—That his Excellency the Governor be -requested to itistrnat the Attorney-Gettetal to institute an action against the Powder Receiver, for such sums of money as hare been paid by him out of the Powder Duty, without the authority of the three .Branches of the Legislature;, and that Benjamin Dickenson Harvey, Esq. a Member of this House, be reilurated to assist the Attorney-General iu the ptosecution of the said 'alit : and that both or either of them be, and they are hereby requested, to continue it by appeal, if necessary, and to adopt such measures as they shall deem most expedient to obtain a full and final decision of it by the highest tribunal to which it cars be referred. Resolved—That a copy of the foregoing Resolves be sent to his Excellency the Governor, amour:pa:lied with a nopy of the Accounts rendered unto this House by the Powder Receiver. Mr. Nathaniel Butterfield ne , Jved, as an amendment, to strike out the 4th Resolve tile following words—" Such sums of money as hare been paid by him,"—and instead thereof, to insert the following—the sum of 31801. 17s. 11d., being the first monies paid away by him between the 191.11 April, 1309, and 15th July, 1813, both days inclusive.

No Paris Papers had arrived when our Paper was put to Press. The KING has been most warmly received at Cowes, and an Address, numerously signed by the Inhabitants, has been presented to His Mi- JISTY, on board the Yacht, to congratulate him on his arrival,'and to express their loyalty. The following is an Extract of a Letter re ceived this morning from Bombay, dated May 18 : 4 6 We are sorry to state that the cholera morbus 'has made its appearance in that Island, and was carrying off from six to seven hundred a day, and its dreadful ravages were not confined to the natives, but the Europeans were also falling vic tims to this dreadful malady. his Majesty's 47th and 56th Regiments, which had returned from the Expedition up the Persian Gulph, had but slightly felt it at the date of this letter. The greatest precaution had been taken by th e ' t , t thorities. All Europeans not belong in g to o f t' Island were ordered to quit, in, consequence l e which the Mercantile Intere'st r bears te gloomy 4,p ,.. earance ; trade, 44 a t a coP le stand' ; scarcely any 'cotton to be had ; .' and the k Company's ships that had arrived were a i' ° leaving Bombay half loaded with ot her car 9' g ee Merchandize had experienced a great rise.- -°ll, news from the Interior states that, some skirtnisbil had taken place at Retulkund with th e notvrieu„ BLUJAH SING. The Expedition to Paletn lo ' has greatly embarrassed the Authoritie s in Jaf4' The Government had determined to make ac t°l ther attempt, but it is supposed that the state °c s their treasury would not admit of a fresh office meat. The heavy duties levied on the produce of the country have completely annihilated foreign commerce, and American vessels, that had arriv ed at Batavia with specie for the purpose of trading' had departed without any cargo. The Malsi population of Java are greatly di sconten ted wi t) their present Master, and are ready to Jot ° ° I any way that may effect a change. The genera opinion in Bombay, respecting the late ExP edi' tion up the Persian Gulph, was very unface ur able, it having cost the Government an irnale t° sum, and the inhabitants a great deal .of anxie tY. The Company's ships Earl of Balcarras, Tbal°s/ Warren Hastings, Thomas Coutts, and f ree Indiamen, have arrived safe.

SAVIOUR'S, SOUTHWARK. Yesterday evening a Meeting was held in the reiv,y-Room, pursuant to a Requisition pi esent ed to the Churchwardens, to confider the pro priety ofzesenting . an Address to her M AJvTv. At halt it six.' o'clock the Chatr was taken by the senior churchwarden, who stated the ob ject of the Meeting. A letter was then read from the Rev. W. MANX, strongly protesting against the legality of the Meeting being held in the 'church or church-yard, as contrary to the SBth canon, and denying that the churchwardens had any authority to call such meetings without the sanction of the clergyman. Mr. IlAwxs then proposed a series of resolu tions, of which the language, as he observed, was mild and temperate under all the circumstances of the case. if ever there was a -period when the people of England ought to speak their sen timents boldly it , was the present. The Queen of England, a defenceless woman, was persecut ed, and every attempt made to cry her down ; such being the case, he was not worthy of the name of a Briton who would not come forward and give her his support. He would not say more, as they would be addressed with much more ability by an lion. Friend who would se cond the Resolutions. He concluded by reading the Resolutions. Mr. DRURY rose with much pleasure to give his sentiments on the present occasion. lie cheerfully seconded the resolutions. The reflec tive mind at the present mra naturally turned to the Queen, and when the public saw the manner in which she was treated, it was impossible not to be astonished that such should be the case in this hospitable land—a land where the Welcome sound of liberty - , and emancipation from his bonds, glad dened the heart of the hardy son of Africa.— Row different, however, was the Queen ? When she landed on our shores she was traduced, and her character vilified by the infamous Countess of Jersey. Fourteen months after marriage she was abandoned by her husband, who had solemn• ly vowed at the altar of Heaven to be her defen der and keeper. No crime led to this event, but it was solely owing to the husband not being able to coatrol his inclinations. The Douglas plot was well known., as was also the cruel manner her daughter was tern from her—that daughter was indeed the Star of Brunswick, and diffused the pleasing lustre on the British nation, which unhappily was clouded by her death. In going abroad, her Majesty had hoped for peace and repose, but on the contrary she was surrounded by infamous spies, from Baron Ompteda, the fa mous pick-lock, down to the meanest scullion. Despising their threats and rejecting their bribes, the Queen came to England, and had roused the British Lion, which would not be appeased till substantial justice was done her. To use the words of Mr. Denman, " it was as impossible to believe her guilty, as to pluck the stars from the firmament." , Rejoicing in the firm tone of the public feeling in her favour, , which must put some drops of comfort in her cup of affliction, he trusted that this Parish would manfully come forward with true British courage in her favour. Several speeches were then delivered, after which the Resolutions, and an Address founded on them, were put and agreed to. 'rue meeting dispersed at half-past eight o'clock, after voting thanks to the Church 2zar•dens. da y ( Nit ,D, Ta os 1}:,114 (I ' 4 4t
