TriE CAPE.

Mr. HUME wished to ask the Secretary for the Co-
lonies whether petitions bad been received from the Cape
to her Majesty for the removal of the Government Se-
cretary, Mr. Montagu, ,on the ground of his continued
obstruction of the passage of the Constitution Ordi-
nances; and if so, whether copies of such petitions would
be presented to the House?
Sir J. PAKINGTON said by the last mail several pe-
titions were received, some in favour of the new consti-
tution, and others against it. One of the former was
signed by 400 or 500 persons, praying for the removal of
Mr. Montagu, but he did not think it would be wise to
produce it at present.
Mr. HUME wished to know when they were to re-
ceive further accounts of the proceedings of the war?
Sir J. PAKINGTON said. ho could not answer that
question till the next mail arrived.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXoLtE,4
this country had long been in negotiationl% said
the
General, and her Majesty had made treaties with him
he had no hesitation in saying that 'the
order wasGovernmentsent down. It was a matter of form, and Government
had no desire to shrink frcra its responsibility. It did
not exempt the goods and chattels of the General from
the ditties which the law imposed upon them, but
simply required the Custom-house authorities to
extend to the General that consideration and courtesy
which was due to a person who had filled the exalted
station which the General had recently lost.—(Rear,
hear.) - Any other indulgences which had been granted
to the General, the Government were not responsible for,
but they were, quite willing to acknowledge the Treasury
order.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. HUME said the Government had gone out of its
way in this matter, and he should be glad to know if the
Admiralty had sent nut any orders.—(ilear, hear.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said no
orders had been issued by the Admiralty, but the Go-
vernment entirely approved of all that had been done in
this matter.
