FROM THE KINGSTON CHRONICLE.
WEDNESDAY- OCT. gib. •
Yesterday: the Hon. House of ,Assembly having
met agreeable to the Proclamation of his Grace the
Governor, a Message was sent to. acnuaint him
therewith, on which he commanded their imete-
diate attendance in the Council Chamber, when
he was pleased to open the Session with the
following speech :-
" Gentlemen of the Council, -
" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly,
" It is with great satisfaatiun that I now meet the
. Legislative Body of Jamaica.
" Nominated to the Governmentof this Colony,
I cannot be insensible to that feel!ng which must
result froth so important au appointment : but
whilst I acknowledge the himour, lain fully aware of
the.difficulties of the station, and it is from this latter
conviction that I view with pleasure the arrival of a
period, .-wheti my efforts tor its service, will re-
ceive of feEtoal assistance from the wisdein of your
counsels,
4' The continuance of a state of War must neces-
sarily expose the Colony, in common with the
whole of his Majesty's Dominions, to much oc-
casional inconvenience and distress; ' but the recent'
steps which have been taken by the British Parlia-
ment, will, I trust, atlbrd considerable alleviation to
the embarrassments of the Planters; and his Ma-
jesty has x fill reliance that the zeal and loyalty of
the inhabitants of Jamaica will induce them patient,
ly -to submit to privations equally endured by the
rest of his subjects ; and that they will steadily co;
operate in every measure calculated to procure an
hothiurable termination of the arduous contest in
which the British Empire is engaged..
" It is peculiarly pleasing to me to contemplate
that our present meeting takes place under the most
favourable auspices for such a tertnivation.--That
gallant spirit which a whole Nation has evinced in
its resistance to perfidy and oppressien,,and the suc-
cess which has hitherto attended the exertion of that
spirit, justify -the hope that the reign oflriumphant
usurpation approaches its 'end ; and that we may
witness, from its extin6tion, the restoration Of peace
and permanent tranquillity.
"Mr. Speakerand Gentlemen of the Assembly,
"The usual supplies ter the exigency of the tio.
vet nment will" engage your attention; and conti-
dently rely upon that liberality which
,has hitherto
distinguished you in providing tor them.
" Gentlemen of the Couocil,
" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly,
" I cannot conclude without expressing my,gra7
tification in finding that the Embargo laid on by the
United States (a measure calculated to excite con-
siderable,alarm through the Weil India Colonies),
has been produCtivo of,such small inconvenience;
and 1 hope tl9r measure has enabled you to form a
lust estimate of the value of tour Own resourrpc.
without retying upon an assistance which may.
be withheld as cal‘riee or mistaken policy may
dictate."

FASUIOigABLE FAUX PA s.—Another instance of
the infidelity of a .Lady of consequence, a Colonel's
wife, was dereaed on. Saturday last, at a house in
Queen Ann-street. The Lady is about 2.i• years of
age, and the Cthinel, her husband, something under
fifty. It had been notified to the Colonel that the
conduta of his wife was considered suspicions, and
that a Captain, a brother officer, and his friend, had
been seen to take very unbecoming liberties with
her. After some preliminary steps had been taken,
the Lady was watched on leaying her residence, in
the vicinity of Baker-street, on Saturday afternoon;
in a hackney-coach. She took another coach in
Bond-street, and was driven to St. James's-sttect,
Where she was met by the -Captain, and the coach
was driven to Queen Ann-street, Where. the amour
took place, and the parties were detected, The
Lady has four children, and her paramour is a mar-.
tied man.

Letters from Malta, dated the Gth 06tober, con-
tain an account of a very gallant service perfornied
by one of our Frigates in the Adriatic, whilceruiz-
ing oil the town of Umago, in Istria, on the 23d
September. Two French =rigs,
.and two Italian
Gun-boats, • all- full of troops, Came out to attack
her ; after an dlion of about 20 minutes, the ene-
my tied under the proteCtion of the fat of Umago.
The English Commander sent a Flag of Truce to-
' wards the shore, for the purpose of expressing his
unwillingness to injure the town; which would he
the necessary consequence of his renewing the ac,
,tion with the enemy's vesiek situated as they WerV4
and therefore requiring their surrender. the inha-
bitants, however, brought some'tannon to the
beach, and fired on the Boat. The Frigate in con:
Sequence stood into they Bay, and attacked the fort,
which She soon ,slenced; she then destroyed the
Vessels which. bad, taken refuge under it, a-n(llBnd-
ing a party-of seamen and marines, demolished the
battery, and set fire to the wrecks of the Gun-boats,
&c. Several houses near the fort were destroyed by
tie-fire-direoled against it, but the town otherwise
experienced a degree of forbearance to which it, was
by no mans entitled.

wangsen, yearS old, was broken upon the wheel,
