at the little Public Houses, whither the Villagers
resort for their evening's regale, and preaching Se.
'clition, not openly, but by putting abstraet questions
tespeaing the origin and cause of the War, and, at
the saute time, with the most insidious Jacobinical
policy, answering the 'same in terms qualified to

TRINIDAD.

VAT OF SPAIN, JUNE 191 11303.

We have hitherto been silent as to the political
transactions which have recently occurred in this
CAony. Many :of them are of so extraordinary a
nature—so unprecedented in. the annalS of a British
Colony—so repugnant to every idea of loyalty and
obedience to the will of our Sovereign, and s 0 ini_
mical to the peace and tranquillity of this infant
Settlement, that had we ventured our conjectures
on their. probable cffeas, we should .have been un-
avoidably led into reflections which might have in_
creased the agitation of the public mind,. and dis-
turbed that good order which it is our invariable
study, to preserve. The storm having at length
subsided, we.caonow calmly...look around, and con-
template our escape from the dangers to which we
have been exposed.
In the commencement of the present year we
congratulated this Community on the first arrival
of His Excellency Cul. WILLIAM FULLARTON)
and the subsequent conduct of the first Commissioner
has amply confirmed 'the high opinion which the
Public entertained of his charader. Unhappily his
wise and benevolent views have been frustrated by
a determined and systematic opposition to every
measure which he proposed for •the good of the
Colony : an opposition concluded by violence, im-
petuosity ltod passion on one side, and resisted on
the other, by that dignity, moderation 'and
priety which have ever di-stinguished the public con,
duet of Col. FULLARTON;
Discussions, thus cond u !led, promised •no benefit
to the Colony, and at length induced the First Com.
missioner to tom his thoughts towards another part
of his duty, for which he. was peculiarly qualified
by his experience and scientific knowledge, and in
the performance of which he would fulfil the special
commands of His. Majesty.
On the Ist of April His Excellency sailed in the
Schooner Start, and " proceeded on a survey and
other'matters necessary to' enable him to fulfil the
objects specified by His Majesty's commands."
The events which took place during his absence,
the Proclamation of the 27th of April, requiring'
all persons, Civil and Military; to consider WIL.
LIAM FULLARTON no longer officiating as one of
His Majesty's Commissioners in. the Ciove,rnment
orthis Island ; the reilination of Brigadier General
Pt ctoN, as second Commissiimer, being accepted of
by Hts Majesty ; the dispatches of the z3d of April
from the Right Hon. Lord Hon ART, extending and
accurately defining the special powers vested in the
First CoMmissioner—We have
,no occasion to en..
large upon, as,they are 'fully 'set forth in
cellency's Proclamation of the r6th instant..
An ReCOUIIt of these dispatches' was received. in.

WIDLIAM FULLARTONI It would be vain to at-
tempt to describe the general indignation of the
'inhabitants of this Island, at this outrageous and
insuirmg opposition to the laWful Representative Of
the Sovereign. . .
The arrival of General MAITLAND (un, Tuesday
the 14th instant) in the schooner Nell), from Bar.
badoes, relieved the loyal inhabitants of Trinidad
from, this State of *anxiety and alarm. And the
general satisfaaion was evident, when it. Was posi-
tivelikbnwn, that the result of the dispatches sent
by his Excellency General c.i.II.INVIELD WaS the
removal of Brigadier, General PICTON from his
Military command, antil(hi: consequent restoration
of Colonel FULI.AitTON to the Government of this,
Island. • •
When it is recollected .that General Pt mit.; has
remained,. since the eonquest of Trinidad, in the
possession of extensive authofity and power, we
shall be excused for not attempting to convey 'any
idea of the astonishment of the Colony on the morn...
ing of Wetioesdly last, when it was discovered
that the schooner- Nell), had sailed the preceding
night, with Brigadier General pi cyo ts on board,
• On Thursday his Excellency GoVernor
TON issued his Proclamation (inserted in this Paper)
and on l? ridgy morning landed with his Suite, at'
-the King's Wharf, where he , was received, by his'
Excellency. General MAITLAND with all the honouts
due to a Civil Governor.
The joy of this corm:wily on so happy an event
is more Oily felt than it is possible to describe
and we believe there never was a Governor.recei vett-
with more sincere congratulations on his return to
his Government than his Excellency Colonel FOLN
LAKTON. .
