Governor Eyre.

The annexed copy of a letter from Governor
Eyre is in reply to a memorial, addressed to Mr"
Secretary Cardwell by the inhabitants of Chat°.
ham, regarding the outbreak in Jamaica :

" Flamstead, Jamaica, Feb. 7.
" My dear Sir,—Pray accept my best thanks for
your kind note of the 29th December, and fer.u.s
copy of the memorial enclosed in it. I beg you 1i
assure the gentlemen who have signed this documen
that I highly appreciate and value such a friendly
support, and their truly English demand of fad
play for an absent public officer, whom (th°llgh
unknown to them) they are unwilling to see con'
demned without some proof of his misconduct. 1"
can hardly be denied that the emergency 043-
slimed by the rebellion in Jamaica was a great °IT
when that rebellion spread 20 miles in one dire':
tion in two and a half days, and 40 miles i1181,:t
other direction in three and a half days, or test
the peril threatening the entire Island was ra°'-'d
imminent, when disaffection, seditious feeling, 311
sympathy, with a readiness to join the rebels, we'.4, ;
known to exist in almost every parish ; whilst at
the same time the local Executive had not a single
soldier available to send to any locality whatever'
should further outbreaks in other parishes ha%
taken place. Under such conditions, the lut
prompt, certain, and severe punishment of tb°'
who had actually risen in rebellion became necessary
as a measure of self-defence to insure the public
safety. Ido not doubt but that the inquiry o°_,,
being instituted will make all this and much ra°'
fully apparent to the British public, and that tlle
result, by showing the necessity of the steps take,l3:3
will justify the opinion so kindly expressed, and t'13.1,
action so considerately taken, by the influential
gentlemen who signed the Cheltenham memerlai
to Mr. Cardwell.—Believe me, my dear sir, rill-
very faithfully, 4t E. J. BYO'
