The Governor takes the first opportunity which, since

cate to the Court the decision of her Majesty's Govern-
ment on several important subjects, which have almost
without excet.tion, recently and frequently, occupied the
attention of the Court.

The objecrio7,;:nich her Majesty's Government en
tertai7ted to the appropriation of the public fu:,d, to the p;,y_
ment of the passage money of em'grants into this colony,
have been removed, and the Governor congratulates the
Court on the conditional concession ; he goes on by further
stating, that an immtgration bill will be laid before rhr
Coral, in which unrestricted intercourse for this ohj:e..t
with all parts of the world is the rule, hat it is nce,...0
to know that the Secretary of State forbids the c \pre.: Cation that he will isarition the introt.lactiot,
of Hill Coolie labourers into British Guiana., or that
it will be in his power to meet the hopes of the
Colonists of an influx of Africans to any treat extent "
He further adds--“ That in complranee with the desire ex-
pressed at the last Session of the combined Court, that
the financial resources of the colony are amply sufficient
to defray the new proposed Civil List." He ends by
stating that he has directed that the despatches eanneeted
with these subjects be laid on the table of the Court.
