FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. BERMUDA. [From the Bermuda Gazette of May.6,1820.] COLONIAL PAI,ILIANIENT. " The Governor was pleased on Monday last (Ist May) to prorogue the Colonial Parliament to the Ist of June—on which occasion his Excel leticy addressed to the Council and Assembly the following Speech : • " Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Legislative council, " Mr. Spealier, ;And tit. ntlernen of the House of Assembly, " Since we last met, the Empire at large has sustained 5. loss, is hiCh although a blessed rclease - for the exalted individual - himself, roust nevertheless produce. a sad and me lancholy recollection in the breasts of all who duly appreciated the worth and virtue of our late most gracious Sovereign, King George the Third ; ameliorated, however, by the cer tain knowledge that the same paternal care is still extended over us, in the Person• of our pre sent mcst graciorw Sovereign, King George the Fourth—of ‘vh . .ch we have positive and satisfac tory cvidt by the peculiar circu►nstaitces of the last. few years ; in consequence of which no change takes place in the Executive, by this our national cala►r.ity. • " A Quarantine Bill having at length passed the three Branches'bfthe Legislature, it will come the duty of the Executive to give it full ef fect, by the strictest_ enforcement of the enact- Molts contained therein. • " Mr. Spealier, and Getitlemen of the House of yo'dy. • " Although it certainly may not have gone to the extent that I could have wished and desired, yet ..I*must congratulate you on the • 13111 paSsed thi's Session, for increasing the number :.nd im proving the condition of the Clergy in this Colony point of the first and most vital importance ,to the whole community, and to every class of ,persons who profess themselves Christians, and are- really and truly desirous to maintain the Church of England Establishment untainted and unimpaired--and which must eventually produce the most beneficial results, if duly met and pro perly appreciated by those for whose benefit , this provision is now made. Much however still de pends upon the concomitant assistance given by the Parishes, and upon their not suffering any untlue - restrictions . or regulations to he interposed, Which might perhaps be perfectly consistent with other modes 'of Religious Worship, but which are wholly incompatible with the Religion of the Country, as by Law established. " That no Supply Bill has passed the Legisla ture„is much to be lamented ; but such will ever be the case, as long as that lamentable disposi tion, of introducing objectionable clauses, conti nues to prevail—clauses highly injurious to the Colony, itself, to its best and most promising commercial prospects, and absolutely illegal—in as much, as directly taxing articles of necessity, destined for the consumption of our sister Colo nies, and militating against the intentions and enactments of the Mother Country—without any justifiable reason, or any real or probable benefi cial effects resulting therefrom.- Nor can it be admitted, when Supply Bills so repeatedly fail, that one branch of the Legislature can always be right, and the other two as invariably wrong. — I cannot for ever be told, that the failure of the Supply Bill is not the fault of the House of Assembly. " I have still a more painful duty to perform, in reflecting on the strange and unaccountable proceedings of your House, by the adoption of certain Resolutions, originating merely in a vague and speculative opinion le—upon a 'point which, ;whether well or ill grounded, w hether con ceded or rejected, would tend to nothing—and would, in the former case, produce spell palpa ble absurdities as to reflect the highest discredit on the judgment and talents of the Legisla tures of former ,days. Subsequent Acts .and other circumstances positively prove it to be quite impossible that_ this,' or any former House of Assembly, could have been ignorant of the 'Act • on which this speculative opinion is grounded. Why an opinion thereon should not haVe been earlier made known, seems most unaccountable ; and, after so long a silence, a silent acquiescence of so many years, that so strange and disgraceful a charge should be brought against a long-tried and faithful servant of the Crown, (the Colonial Secretary), in the shape of a Criminal prosecution, not for treason or for peculation, but solely for obeying the orders of his superiors—of the Governor in Council, and of his Sovereign—l have no hesitation in declar to be, not only, a direct attack and censure upon the two preceding Governors, and the. Privy Councils of those periods, as well as the Gover nor and Council of the present day ; but a most afross and. violent inroad upon the rights and prerogatives of the Crown itself—and in the most extraordinary and unheard of shape ; calling upon the Executive to proceed to prosecute, without proof, and at the same moment the House itself attempting, most illegally to institute a prosecution, (as appears by its own minutes), and naming the Counsel ,to conduct the - same, against a superior, who is in no shape amenable to that House. Such proceedings are as' ab sUrd, contradictory and futile, as they are dis graceful. . " Had the late long-protracted Sessions been solely employed in beneficial enactments for - the Colony anti the Inhabitants thereof, in promot ing the Trade and intercourse with other Nations —in the improvements of the Jails—the Roads —the Public Works and Public Buildings—in the-promotion of true Morality and Religion — it -.would have been a long and tedious period, use fully employed; although by such delay a heavy expellee might be entailed upon the Country, But when months are wasted in speculative con tentions, with little or no benefit to the Public , Alluding, it is in esunied, to the Act toe collecting a duty on Gunpowder. and the Colony, burthened with a large debt its Representatives, for a period so mischievously mispent, it becomes a serious grievance to every member the community. " Had"a humble memorial to the Throne been presented, instead of this offered insult, relative to the speculative opinion alluded to—however erroneous it might have been deemed, it would. have been received and I'ot:warded. But the pre sent mode of proceeding has debarred all inter course, except in the shape of seve -e and most deserved censure." DUTCH AND FLANDERS PAPERS. Dutch a►►d Flanders Papers arrived at a late lour last night ;. we have made the following ex- acts :--- " VIENNA, SEPT. 4.—Field Marshal Count Nugent, late Captain-General at Naples, has arrived' in this city ; also Baron Libezeltern, Mi nister Plenipotentiary from Austria to the Court df Russia. " It seems now beyond doubt that our Court will confine itself to disapproving openly the events which have taken place at Naples, and that it will not declare even against that country. The Austrian army which is approaching the frontiers of Piedmont will take, as it is said, the denomii►atidi of Arinv of ,Observation of the Po. Cardinal Ruffo, Ambassador from the King'of the Two Sicities, continues•to reside here, tl►ough his letters of recall were brought hire by the young Duke of• Serra Capriolo, who passed through here on his way to Warsaw, where he announced to the Emperor Alexander the speedy arrival of the Prince of Ciinitilli, who is .charged with a special mission to him. Cardinal hullo has not laid aside the red cockade, and continues to pro test against the changes 'which have taken place in the Government of his country. . _ " Letters from Constantinople state, that there are frequent conferences between the Russian Ambassador and the Grand Vizier. It is sup posed that affairs of the highest importance are now under discussion between the two Powers. " It is observed that the English Ambassador pays frequent visits to the Ministers of the Porte. " FRANKFORT, SEPT. 10.—We are informed that a courier from Berlin has brought orders to Dusseldorf for the immediate assembly of the Prussian troops, which will be reviewed by one of the brothers to the King of Prussia. We learn from St. Petersburgh, that on the ath July, at 26 minutes past three in the morning, taco severe shocks of an earthquake were felt at Teflis, in Georgia, accompanied b,y so violent a detonation that the most solid edifices threatened to become in an instant a heap of ruins. . "- A Berlin Paper asserts, with an air of con fidence, that the visit of the Emperor Alexander to Warsaw will have the most important conse- quences. " Reports are in circulation here, founded on mercantile correspondence, that the King of Sar dinia, has resolved that his army shall be speedily placed on the war establishment. " BRUSSELS, SEPT. 16.—The King will arrive here about the 10th of next month. " GHENT, SEpT.l7.—" t. journal, which passes 'or official, announces that the Duke of Welling :on is coming-to this country. His Grace's visit probably on account of the foaifications of Ghent, Termoude, and Oudenarde‘" NAPLES AND SICILY_ The following extract of a Letter contains lie latest intelligence from this part of Europe : " NArt,Es, SEP r. I.—This Government is sendiog troops, artillery, and military stores, to Trapani. They are headed by General Pepe, who is vested with extraordinary powers fur settling the affairs of Sicily. llis instructions are said to be, that immediately on his arrival he is to convoke deputies front the towns - and districts of the island, who are to declare the general wish of the inhabitants on the subject of indepen- Aence ; and should a majority he found to entertain the desire of a separation from Naples, General Pepe is then authorized to treat with them on the mode of establishing that inde pendence. As there can be little doubt that this proposition, if flirty carried into effect, (of which the character of General Pepe affords every assuranee,l will produce a declaration front the majority of the Sicilians in favour of the object for which the free towns hare made so intrepid aStand, tranquillity must be restored, and our free intercourse with - the island re newed. On the other hand, should A different result take place, and the unbiassed votes of the islanders determine for the continuance of their dependence on Naples, a civil war must ensue, which the resources and daring spirit of the Pa lermitans may protract to an indefinite period. The general opinion, however, being against them, they must ultimately abandon their design. Our advices ft out Palermo are of the 24th tat., and merely mention the organization and amount of the civic goat d. The only F;nglishman• serving in it is a Gentleman of the name of Wood, who bears the rank of Lieu tenant. None of the tons of the Sicilian Government which ate in circulation-here are paid : brat as they were originally raised to pay the debts of the hereditaty Prince, they must, •1 should think, be finally honoured." NIADMD I'APERS. We have received a series of Madrid Papers to he 7th inst. from which we extract the following : " Tnt: Coams.—ln the Sittieg of the 4th, a very interest ing debate arose on the Patriotic Societies, at which the Mi nisters were requested to attend. " M. GASEIA allowed that the numberi of the Societies and their objects deserve respect and confidence ; that they took every precaution to admit none but persons of upright inten tions and devoted to the Constitution ; but that they were ex posed to be taken by surprise by some, who, under the ap pear'ances of patriotism, might read them to impolitic conduct. " The Ministers of the Colonies, though anxious that every Spaniard should enjoy full liberty founded on the law, could not admit the existence of political - associations, without dependence on the Gore' eminent, and without responsibility of their Members. I knew well, he added, that these associ ations owed their origin to a laudable object, and that to them, though illegal, we owe the acquisition of the good which we enjoy; but the means which have, been cm. 1 ployed to acquire it, far from being conducive to its pre servation.. would be the great obstacle to its. consolida tion. What comparison is there between individual liberty and that.which may he arrogated to themselves by permaneni. Juntas, with peculiar Constitutions, secret sittings, dignities , others, and funds ? In Representative Governments, En gland for instance there are also societies, hut they meet f or • one determined object, and when that is finishe'd they arc dis solvvd• But permanent societies are unknown, unless autbo risvd by the law, and when' they have this character, the Government will be the first to support them. After some other Members bad spoken, the Conde de Torreno spoke at length on the abuses that might arise Irons such societi es wit hoot responsibility, which might lead the nation to its ruin ; he wished them to subsist, and to he at liberty to censure the abuses of authority but not to be al lowed to make an improper use of this liberty, or lead the people to excesses, in which case all the Deputies were resolved to lose their lives rather than see the Bar of the Assembly invaded by the factious—A Committee was appointed." Yesterday the Duke and Duchess de CAzEs, Baron de CAzEs, Count CARAMAN, and Duke de FRIAs, formed part of the distinguished com pany who dined with Lord and Lady CASTLE R EAGII, at Noith Cray.

'' The Journal de relithe states, that an Englishman of great distinction passed through Troyes last Thursday, going in great haste to 11 ` aples. " Oa the 10th instant, two Couriers of the Queen of Eng land disembarked at Calais, namely, - M. M. Govien, and Foal-Carlo ; the latter, according to report, is to bring Ber gami to England.

" PALERMO, AUG. 27.—The Palermitans still flatter them. selves that the Cities of Messina, Syratuse, 'rrapaui, and Ca. tat*ia will wake common cause with them. " The Junta has divided Sicily into Four Grand Military Divisions-Ist, Palermo and Trapani--Yd, Grigenti and Piazza-3d, Messina, and 4th, Syracuse and Catania. Every one of these divisions compi izes five or six districts. In each Province, the armed force is to be calculated at the rate of tw•o men per cunt. of the population, " Nanv.s, AUG. 29.—A fleet. is ready to sail from Naples and Gaeta for Sicily, having on board front 3 to 4,000 hien, Infantry, Cavalry and Artillery, under the command of Gen. Pepe. " Battssxts, SEPT. 15.—The Duke of Wellington is ex. pected here the 6tb October." THE FUNDS. [FROM A CO RItEspoNDENT.I---The financia " Bear," of The Morning Chroldcle, whose skin it will be re collected we• pulled over his - Ears some months since, has again made his appearance, and yesterday and t3-day has put forth his lucubrations. Yesterday,for the 19th time A the defi ciency of the consolidated fund served his turn; to-day there is ,a very wi,e dissertation upon our relations with Portugal; but the'' shaggy monster" skews himself at the very commence ment of it. We again caution the Public against a set of bold , speculators, who for a long time hare not had an opportu nity of rupleneshing their pockets. There are some " Wa terloo Boys" among them who do not stick at trifles, and if the sale of one million of time stock will nut produce enough effect, another must follow it. The " Ursos Major," or great Bear of The Chronicle, who frequently enlightened the Public with a column and a half last winter, has had very large sales of time stuck made by his Agent, at nearly the lowest point of depression, it is therefore nece.sary to follow up the blow. The rumours so industriously circulated to aid the plan, have been shawl) to be all false— the " equivocal answer" of Lord CASTLEREAGLI is as false as the rest, for the fact is, that his Lordship distinctly stated his belief, that the rumours were solely to answer interested purposes. There are some men so blinded by interest, that they will convert obvious good into poisma. All the recent' Letters from Frankfurt, Leipsig, liamburgb, and other conti nental places mention a decided improvement in business. Mousy in the City is uncoromuuly abundant, and ready • to aid any favourable effect of a revival of Continental Trade as soon as it is at all felt here; our Revenue is certainly improving; we have been blessed with an abundant haree.t, and we know of no cause but one, either foreign or do mestic, that is at all likely to trouble us, and that one will not be more than a nine day's wonder; it gives a few itinerant Orators an opportunity of " spewing off," and whets they have done, it will subside into that calm suspense suited to the importance of the sultiect, and the dignity•aud good sense of the nation. The letters by the last arrivals from British North America spew the extreme anxiety which is generally felt throughout those Provinces from the apprehensions they entertain of the intention to lower the Duties on Foreign Timber. The apprehension which is entertained at the - Outports of . the intention to alter the Navi gation Laws, and to extend the trading inter course with this country in Foreign Ships, is pro ductive of great mischief and injury to the State. It prevents many persons from building Ships, and embarking their capitals in Shipping. Yesterday her Royal Highness the Princess SOPHIA visited her Royal Highness the Duchess Of CLARENCE.
