" I send to your Excellency, to be presented to the
Chamber of Deputies, the inclosed despatch of the Vice.
President of the province of St. Paul, of the 11 th
inst., with the annexed documents confirming the accounts
already received by the Goverment, of irregular and illegal
proceedings, which the Government is persuaded would
not have taken place if there had been at the head of the
administration of the province a President, a scrupulous
observer of the Constitution, and well versed in the legis-
lation, who would keep within the limits of his own
authority, and restrain others by legal means within these
fixed by the Constitution; and the Government, there-
fore, abides by the opinion that it is immediately requisite
to send thither the President appointed, that he may be
able to render effectual service to the State.

"4 God preserve your Foreellency.

" The Place, Oct. 24, 1830.
" To Senor J. Marcellino de Brito."

We have received this morning Jamaica Pa-
pers to the 21st November, which contain mat-
ters of considerable importance. The new
House of Assembly met on the 9th, and Mr.
BARRETT was appointed Speaker. The Gover-
nor, the Earl of BELMORE, on that day de-
livered his speech, in which, after announcing the
death of the late Monarch and the succession
of King WILLIAM the Fourth, he states
as follows:

" It affords me much pleasure to inform you that in-
structions have been given to the Department of the
Customs to carry into execution the arrangement con-
tained in the Act passed last session, An Act
to pro vide salaries in lieu of fees to the Custom-house
officers, by a duty on shippifig, 84c.' on the resolution of
the House of Dec. 19. It will, of course, be necessary
to provide for the retrospective payment of the officers
of the Customs of their salaries, from the periods during
which no provision has been made for them, so soon as the
duties levied by the officers of the Customs, under the Act
of the Imperial Parliament, entitled, ' An Act to regulate
the trade of the British possessions abroad,' shall have been
paid to the Receiver General.
" I hail this proceeding as an auspicious omen of that
perfect harmony between the parent state and this Colony
which the conciliatory disposition of his Majesty's Go-
vernment cannot fail to produce ; and when you learn
that it is unconditional, and without any allusion to the
reasonable expectation which is entertained that the Colony
will at some period reimburse to the Commissariat the ad-
vances msde for the subsistence of the forces employed for
your defence, it manifests such perfect reliance on the jus-
tice and liberality of this new Assembly, that I earnestly

hope you will devise the means of relieving the parent
state from so heavy a burden.
" I have now to inform you, that the slave Act of last
session has been disallowed 1,3 r his Majesty in Council.
The anxious desire to avoid any interposition which
cou'd prevent the labours of the late Asienthly being
brought before his Majesty's Government induced me to
give my assent to that Act, the fate of which J clearly
anticipated.
. _ . .

" I shall without delay submit to you a despatch from
the Colonial Office, assigning in detail the objections of
his Majesty's Government to the Act, and also an extract
of a report from the Lords of the Council to his Majesty,
recommending its disallowance. You will perceive by
these documents, that I am expressly instructed to pass no
law restraining the liberty of religious worship.
" Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the Assembly,-1
resort to you with confidence far such supplies as the
public service may require.
" Gentlemen of th, Council,

" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of Assembly,—ln all
my communications with you I shall ever act with perfect
candour and sincerity, and should I be so fortunate as to
succeed in promoting your welfare and prosperity, the
subject of my constant anx'ety As ill be amply gratified."
The Hou,e, in its reply, states" We unite with
your Excellency in the hope that, in future, perfect har-
mony will exist between his Majesty's Government and
the House. We cannot, however, lead your Excellency
to expect that the House will reimburse to the mother
country the advances made for the subsistence of the troops
during the time the Colony did not provide for them.

" The disallowance of the Slave Act disappoints the
just exp..ctations of the House. We considered that his
Majesty's Government would at length be convinced of the
expediency of accepting for the slaves the conccs•ions and
amelioration contained in the Act."

These papers contain accounts from Colombia to the
26th October. The department of Cauca had acknow-
ledged the new Government, so that all ancient New Gre-
nada, except San Juan, where a force of 400 men was
stationed, has yielded to the Bolivar piety. General
Lopez and General Ohanda had been ordered to repair
to Bogota, to take their trial for their participation in the
murder of General Sucre. The election of President and
Vice-President was still going on. The Premier of Car-
thagena had given 24 votes for Bolivar and 18 for Mos-
quera for the offices. Bolivar remained at Soledad, and
persisted in refu.ing the Presidency, until his appointment
had been confirmed by the electoral colleges.

The Metropolis having furnished very crowded
audiences to hear Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S descrip-
tions of India, and his plan for a voyage of dis-
covery, commerce, and civilization, he goes to
Liverpool in the ensuing week for the purpose
of addressing the community of that opulent
mercantile town on these interesting topics, where
they will, no doubt, excite some attention.
