When it became a possession of his Britannic. Majesty, you kindly promised that agriculture should , dells e the full .advaniege of its labours ond'stOrbed, thereby to fertilize , anew this long.oiegletted land ; that the laborious artisan should enjoy all his time, to reap the benefits of industry, and tiro the coto se of justice should be no longer interrupted :—we, with loyalty and can dour, have taken the. oath of allegiance and sub mission; our trbooals are again thrown open, a&l strengthen in every breast the love of duty. Since this pernid piofound tranquility pervades the , island, and among us all there is nut one, who !Cris not touched with the convietiou, that we shall find a guarantee for our ploperties—safely for our per soos—,arid for our families repose. That true policy never strays, when illumined by the torch of justice, while those who are entrusted with' the precious deposit of the laws continue reciprocally united by that sentiment of public good which ever sways the noble Mind,.inspiring courage to surmount the greatest difficulties, and giving har mony to every act which regulates the people wllom they govern.

" You would there learn, also, how deeply we have bten, and still remain, 4fflieted at these fatal 'prejudices suggested to you against a considerable number of peaceable inhabitants, both of our towns ail in the country. New comers, strangers to our happiness, though seeing, in every direCtion the most evident proofs of our submission to the lass, have, neverthelesS, dared to alarm yoiir Excellency about the fidelity of the inhabitants of Guadaloupe but the breal of the misery they , wished to bav caused, has only served to draw floods of tears' f►om the mothers, the wives, and the chiLtreni of those' menaced with banishment ; whilst pub- - he tranquility has not been the less maintained. " Your justice is our guarantee that those alone t•ball he punished who shill have distut bed the pub.,. lie older; Brave men are - always generous and good ; the extent of their knowledge and perfec, t ion in . the .at t of governing, serve but to strengthen and confirm their love Of jusi ice. " Thus, Sir, under yew' Government, bur wounds Shall be healed ; our public and private Calamities shall givt way to that freedom which ioduwy pro cures, and Whom promotes; and, under any change Of circumstances, we shall 'ever cherish wlth heartfelt gtautude, the retnembranix of the sum A I , 1(I4, Cl Itlartittt.toutt, liow.street I Jo L't bti No. i 12, Strand. where ihivirtiaements, Order: fi who , occupied himself luccssautly kr our %yell kat."

The President havin6r deltvered the sentence, adjourned the Court, all-the Members of which. . were eager to accompany the representative of the King. . • At one o'clock, the ceremony' of the'day was cclebrated by a salute from the vessels in the: bar bour. . .
