The denouement of the oriels will not take place
till to-morrow, though in political circles it is said
that all will be settled to-night. Bet Spaniards are
not in the habit of going so fast. Beide. General

sickly etre of the public treasure, so often phleboto-
mixed by Mori's stockjobbing. And lowly, The Tariff
Bill. It is said that the details of the Tariff Bill en
got reedy, and that they require only to be
looked over by the finance minister. When the
crisis is over, the Cartes will be dissolved;
and, whit is of more importance to the
frivolous being whose influence is felt in everything,
the princes will be crested. The following is the

On the 15th the useekis et the Ingidative Connell
was opened by the Has. NW Illentegu, the governor
being too unwell to attar in pun&
The usual minute was rani, tautening the principal
measures which were to be ashiltbsd, to the council
during the session ; but their announcement was listened
to with ma ni fnt coldness and Assessor mind, not only
by the crowd in the gallery, bat by the members of
the Council. The subject that ossapied all thoughts
was one not named in the minute, namely, Lord
Grey's proposal to maks the ooloey a rezeptaele for
felon*.

At length this subject was brought forward by the
Hon. Mr. Ebden, and whilst he was doing it ample I
justice, a message arrived from Government-hoaae,
announcing the reception of despatches from Earl ,
Grey, on the
.previous sight, containing instructions
for the reception of the convicts from Bermuda, which
Sir Harry Smith declared at the same time it was his
intention to obey. The oonvicte, oo their arrival, will
therefore be received by his exoellency's government.
After these papers were read, the discussion on the
whole question wits resumed, and the principle, and
opieions of every member of the Council were empita-
tisally avowed.. It appeared that every memos of the
Osencil, °Metal as well as non-official, iocluOing the
governor himself, is, and has been from the first
as decidedly hostile to this measure, as the rest of
their fellow-subjects in this colony. They condemn
and deplore it. Mr. Montagu dispelled the suspicion
which had gone abroad that he hat in some way or
ether commitied himself to this measure, and proved
'that he had ever set his face resolutely against it.
This was received by the crowded audience with an
irregular but irremietable thr,ut of sincere applause.
The attorney-general, Mr. Porter ; the collector of
cartoon Mr. Field ; the auditor-general, Mr. Brink ;
and the; tressuier-general, Mr. Rivers, all removed
shade of doubt as to their views and opinions.
Ebden moved a resolution expressing the
*high of the Gruncil, as a body, in oppoeition to the
iesessere, as iejutious' and tending to alienate the of
t diens of the people from her Majesty's government
Fee this all voted with the exception of Mr. Mon-
tagu and Mr. Rivet", who merely objected to the w-
ooed clause of the resolution, being satisfied, how-
ever, that their sentiments on the measure itself could
sot now be misunderstood.
To crown the whole, the governor's last despatch
to Earl Grey on th s subject was read.
In this easpattb, the governor, having referred to
the violent opposition of the coloniate to the introduce
ties of convicts, and to Lord Grey's resolve to enforce
" thin obnoxioos meastm ," note, ittotsnding that " the
adveree opinion of myself (Sir H. Smith) and of the
solonista had reached your lordship," goes on to ob-
serve that this course places him in a most delicate
sod painful situation, he having pledged himself to
the colonists, who now look to him fora fulfilment of
that pledge, the which wits now out of his power. He
then refers to the number of addresses and memorials
opposing the measure, and in conclusion makes the
fullowieg observations:
The system of reform iosrituted upon our frontier has, as
its general guide, the tedium* of morality and religion, any
iotroductioa therefore of white and sinful men would mili-
tate against its
_pm:rem more than I can describe, I allude
the mass of Kafirs, Tuabookies, &a , nattered
weer the gaudy, surface of the colony. I have been
lately able to form native locations of these tribes, each man
paying an annual quit-rent for his lead, and the • hole being
swim the woeful sup. rvision of white win. This plan, so
mat to remove vagrancy,hu thus far been most successful
(it ewe emst of course extend to Briush Karaite), but much
is experiments of the kinds owing to the force of example,
sad to the native being able to ri geed his white neighbour
with respect. It is much to he apprehended that the intro.
duction of itonviors, whit would be .uttered wi iely ever the
country, would seriously interrupt this progressive improve-
s nt among the natives, who, instead of Mina associated
with men whom they could regard as their superiors, would
come into contact with persons exhibiting only the worst
side of humus snare.
I must alms draw your lordship's attention to another very
important feet in this colony, sk.t, so extensive is its tern-
totry, re scattered its population, so few the number of mania
trues we are able to entertain, ro small the means at our
disposal for the apprehension of criminals, md so difficult in
consequence any appeal to the law, that were men of dire-
late habits let lusts within the Colony, months might elapse
before they were apprehended on the c.moission of crime;
vice would be diuesnineted, and, after ail, the aggristi:ed
persons would frequently be °blind to ride, es they slow ere,
gamy to nicety nines to the nearest magistrate to seek legal
red rest.
To give your lordship an example. SOON months ago two
convicts se ode their escape from New South Wales in a small
trad.r, were landed In this colony without reference to the
setheritise, for which the captain was fised, la due course of
law, 601.; and, bi log enterprising and daring Milian; have,
with great canning and actuates% communed some of the
most theredible 'sermons ensues some in Cape Town, rime
in the leaguing village of Roodelsosch, only Sys miles from
it, where no one previously thought of ever (monies hi
windows or door. Up to this dele these two villas' laws
evaded appre.heution although they would be readily new
Mud by many whom they have robbed. They never took
anything but money, of which they must have amused a
considerable sum. I am therefore induced to believe that
they have cusped from the colony. I record this anecdote
to show the evils to which the scattered population of this
coloay would be enpised, were numbers amen of doubtful
character let loose among them.
It is unquestionable as regards the moral condition et the
colony, that crime has been for come time past on the de-
crease ; this is shoves by the proceedings of every aussediee
circuit judge, who has now to deal but rarely with arenas
of a very grave description ; and an additional reason is
thus offered he est *spode; to pernicious example and coo-
*mistake a sashay which is thus clearly progressing in the
male of iteraiky, et the very period too when a cheek to its
must taspewlag state might be irreparable.
I have new, my lord, taken the liberty, candidly and
idiom reserve, to pointiont to your icedship the painful
whin is which lam individually placed, and the violent
'potion ea the part of the whole of the inhabitants of the
Ceps—whe regard their hereditary rights as British subjects

Upon ay assumtion of the government of thie colony,
I wm instructed by the secretary of state to report as to its
flume to receive representative institutions; this I word-
ing!, did, and I rejoice that I ma side to inform_ you that I
have recently received, and now present to you, E 4.1 Grey's
reply, in which he acquaints me that her Yekeety's govern-
. ment have determined that some teem of rmresestalve go-
vernment shall be adopted for the colony. The form of the
committal of to be established will be • legislative council,
the members of which will be appointed by the crown; and
aa ammbly, the members of which will be elected by the
people; but many of the details of the plan are reserved for
r furthe esmeideratioa, and with a view to diminish the in-
semenismee to which the eastern districts will be upped
by the scheme, kis lordship thinks it will be expeelts' nt to
adopt arnmgemente, by which the anseant of brines to be
imposed us the newly•onstituted assembly may be kept
within bonsels as moderate as possible, and confined to sun-
jests of the most general importance ; at loot, until the
