irtIRIDGETOWN, JuNE 30.

Pursuant to a Summons of his Exellency the
Governor, the Colonial Legislature mct this day
at the Town'-Hall, when his Excellency was
pleacled to communicate to the Council and As-
sembly the. nature of the business which induced
his conveniaz them, as follows-:

" Mr. President, awl Gentlemen of thellduse
of Legislative - Council, ; -
'lert.Si3le6ker, and Gentlethen of the House
• 4ssembly,

T-aving, in the month of October last, pub,
licly declared my opiv:ions to the Regiments of
at their'several reviews, on the then con !ition
of our politica! relations With the United States of
Awerica, pointing out, its T conceive, the hostile
v dissltions of that Government, with -a view to
'ei-)1Ony
.frorn the consequences ; it is
with concern, hut without surprise, I have judged
it- necessary Ton this .day, to acquaint
you, that although war with that country is not
vet actual, I consider it to he so ii eminent as to
dernand• all those - measures of precaution
foresight which our comfort and security indis,
pensably require. • -
" The Speeches, the writings, the actions, not
only of the persons who coldl-tthe policy of that:
country, but of thosli who sup7ort them, I grieve
to • say,, breathe rancour and malignity' throughout,
abandoning even the exterior of equal neutrality ;
evincing a determination, in so far as shalt de.
pond upon then), to effect the utter destruction of
the'Enfpirc, labouring .by every means.to unite the
ca<2,les of freedom with those of tyranny, and to
ruin the cause of liberty in the Peninsula, where
an unoffenttintt but much injured people, exhibit
the -magnanimous spectacle of two nations glo-
riously„preferring death to slavery, and struggling:
manfully for existence.
" History „hereafter will scarcely credit, that
the 'last - Republic -endured by Revolutionary
France in the Christian World, should make a
choice formded neither in virtue nor in interest, ,
giving-reality to fable, and extending the boon
of 'Polyphemus beyond the limits of an Epic
Poetri.

Ancient friend ihip, the similarity of language,
religion, and civil institutions] lead the cultivated
mind deeply to lament the contemplated conflict.
Humanity clings to the expiring hope, that the
fund of temperate discernment by which large
bodes of ivell-informed .men, in those donfede-
rathd Republics, continue to be actuated, may
still avert the impending, calamity, but appearances
render• this too doubtful to be relied on, how-
everlflattering the inpression ; and necessity may
compel the searching for ne'w channels of supply
to 'obviate the evils to which- we may shortly be
'exposed.

Mr; Speaker and Gentlemen of the House
of Assembly,
" consequences ( 7nur liberal grant, to
meet the first impressions
.‘4 alarm in the neigh-
bouring Island of St. Vincent, form the object of
a separate Message.; and I
.recommend to your
very early consideration the present scarcity of
provisions, froni.the-long course of dry weather
and the consequent shortness•of the crop of last
year ; • and whether. it may, not be expedient to
grant a small bounty on the importation of yams,
potatoes, and plantains,.'esnefially from Dutch
Guiana, provided the cargoes be disposed of in such
manner, as to prOvent a mononoly, to the manifest
injury of the poorer classes of the commimity.

,Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the House
of Legislative Council, • •
Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House
Assembly, , _

. _ •
" In the present emergency .11judged it • neces-.
sary, with , the advice of the. Privy Council, to
issue a Proclamation opening the ports for the ad-
mission of certain supplies,. which has already
been productive of beneficial effects, and from
the time afforded will, I trust, lead' to further
advantages.
•
" 30th June, 1312,!!

The preceding Address has given great satis-
faction to the inhabitants of this island, as it
that our excellent Governor has berai"vigilaritly
observing 'the conduct of Amerita,- and that he
is fully prepared to guard against any mischief
which-she might attempt in this quarter; at the
same time that it breathes a spirit .oT moderation
and-benig,nity suitable to his acknowledged cha-
racter.-
