BERMUDA, JUNE 2.

The Colonial Parliament of Bermuda was pro-
rogue(' on the 31st May until the sth July ; pre-
vious to which his Excellency Sir WILLIAM
LUMLEY delivered a Speech, of which the fol-
lowing is a copy :
« Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Legislative Council—
Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly,

" I have now called upon you to meet me for a purpose
which for many and various-reasons intimately connected with
the welfare of the Colony, I most deeply deplore; but which,
owing to as strange and unaccountable proceedings as ever
took place in a Legislative Body, will admit of no alternative.
" To the. Legislative Council my best thanks are due for the
readiness they have evinced to meet my proposed measures
with cordiality, and to promote the best interests of the com-
munity.

" It has been asserted in another place, that I have attempt-
ed to overawe his Majesty's Council, to poison the springs- of
justice, and to drive from his Majesty's service men of talents
and uptight principles; assertions which every Member of that
Council knows, and can declare to be utterly false, and the
object of which was evidently to injure my character, and bring
into disrepute the subsequent proceedings of that body.
" Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly,
" I received a message from your House cf the 2d May, re-
lative to the Powder Laws ; together with a Report of a Com-
mittee of the House on the above, dated 13th April of this
year ; and you have gravely called my attention to a volumin-
ous mass of special pleading, and have solicited my communi-
cation with Earl Bathurst, for the information of his Maj esy.
thereon ; and you have done this in a very few days after
having solemnly assured your Sovereign that his Majesty's
Representative is wholly ignorant of civil government. I shall
not therefore condescend to enter into any detailed explanation.
" I cannot however avoid remarking, that in all the elaborate
researches and comments of your House on the Powder Fund
Laws, through a period of nearly 70 years, the most important
time of the whole should have been omitted between 1707 and
1781 ; for six or seven years of which a civil war was raging in
America, and Stimd most c ‘.:traordinary occurrences took place
here connected with that subject, occurrences which I do not
now deem it necessary to comment upon.
" If the Act of 1747 was in actual operation until 1809 (which
your House has boldly but most erroneously asserted), it might
fairly .be asked, how it was possible that all the.old Members
of the House, together with Chief Justice Leonard and At-
-toraey. General. Esten, should. at that Nery period.know no-
thing ofsuch an Act--should not even have known that such an
Act was ever in operation, when the two last named speci-
fically advised the Governor (Hodgson) to replace the fund
under the controul of his Alsjesty's servants (the Governor and
'Council), in conformity to the Act of 1690, where it had been
previously for many years—where it ever ought to have remain-
ed—and where it has since continued undisputed until last year,
and which your House is now pleased to call recently wresting
it from its purpose.'
." Your House does not yet seem to comprehend that the pro-
ceedings here during the whole or any part of the period to which
it refers, can have no controul over the records and proceedings
of the Mother Country—or the decisions from the Throne—and
from which Earl Bathurst states what I must again repeat,
the Act of 1742 has not been confirmed, nor that of 1690
'repealed; and that the act of 1690 is still the law of the Island
for the levy of Powder duty.' .
" In your last message to me of the 3d May, you speak of
extraordinary language. To your House, indeed, this reverts
and becomes most applicable—when, in language truly uncouth,
• but not to be misunderstood, you presume to tell our gracious
Sovereign 'that he has selected a man as his representative,
whom you have been pleased to decide to be wholly unfit for
such a charge. Your opinion was never asked, nor would in
any case be called for. Your House is both DE JUKE and DE
PACT° totally unequal and incompetent to such a decision.
" You have lavished on your Governor, the representative of
your King, the grossest reproach—the basest contumely. You
have brought charges against him as absurd as they are false,
mischievous and injurious (not to him), but to the peace and
well being of the community at large—,and you then affect
astonishment that he should speak, even in general terms, of
faction and a factious spirit in the colony.
" Blinded by error, or some more dreadful infatuation, you
have filially, in direct terms, refused to do your duty. .You are
proceeding at your own peril, and are collectively and indivi-
dually responsible to your God, your King, and your Country,
for all the wilt you may have entailed upon the country."

SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1821.

We are assured; upon autho'rity- on which we
fully rely, that the object of Ministers, from the
moment that they were informed of the QugEN's
Will, expressing her desire to be buried at
Hanover, and to be sent off in three days, has

been to' give the utmost effect to Her 111
JESTY'S wishes. All that has been written and.
surmised to the contrary has been utterly devoid
of truth; and though unavoidable delay 10
occurred as to the time of commencing the
Procession, the period prescribed by the QUEEZi
will be exceeded as little as possible.—The news
of the QUEEN'S demise reached the KING, ill
Holyhead bay, on Thursday noon, and advices
have been received from his MAJESTY, dated at
2 o'clock in the afternoon of that day, when the
Royal Yacht lay at anchor.

The last letters from Constantinople, received
at Vienna, concur in stating, that at the former

4'a• The Porte had given orders for all the
4-siatic troops to advance, by forced marches, to
the
banks of the Danube ; and it was proposed to
send "ti 40 000 Janissaries to the same destination,
bat the Divan were apprehensive that they should

'a' their chiefs having expressed the greatest repug-
tbarice to quit the capital. Other accounts, say that
e Janissaries had obtained the ascendancy in
°l3stantinople, and that massacres were con-
tinually taking place which were marked by the
greatest cruelty. The Turks had began to cru-
eifY the Christians; several rich Greeks suffered
this
agonizing punishment on the 2d of July,
Iv bile their wives and children were slowly burnt
t° death before their eyes.
The intelligence from Frankfort and Trieste

Dutch and German Papers arrived this day,
and the following are their contents :
lia.mßunon, AUG. 3.—A. letter from Vienna,
of the 25th July, says, The curiosity and at-
ten,.
"on of the public here are chiefly directed to
the
tendency of the affairs of Greece and Turkey,
Ithich appear to become daily more and more
co
rnPlicated. We now learn that the Note which
tag been sent on the-part of Russia to the Sublime
e requires •
$ rt
1. The rebuilding of all the Christian

churches that have been destroyed throughout
,
the whole Ottoman empire.
2. That all Christian subjects and inhabitants
df the Ottoman empire shall be protected in the
rights and privileges secured to them by the most
solemn Treaties.
4 3. That a difference shall be made between
the rebellious Greeks and the peaceable and in-
nocent individuals of that nation ; and that the
latter shall not be treated like the former, be-
cause they speak the same language and wear the
same dress.

' 4. That every thing in Walachia and Mol-
davia shall be replaced, as soon as possible, upon
the footing agreed upon by Treaties.'
" A satisfactory answer from the Porte to these
demands is required in a certain time—it is said
within 10 days. As the Dispatch was sent from
St. Petersburg on the 28th June, and would
probably arrive at Constantinople between the
10th and 12th of July, we may expect to learn
in a few days the result of this step.
" STRALSUND, AUGUST I.—According to ac-
counts from Stockholm of the 28th of July, his
Majesty the King intends to endeavour to obtain
from the Norwegian Diet the right of the reto,
with respect to the future regulations of the as-
sembly, and that this is the chief object of his
Majesty's present visit to Norway. It was hoped
that the majority of the Diet would agree to the
King's proposal, in order to restore the equilibrium
between the' Legislative and Executive powers.
" On the 24th of July Mr. Butgow, belonging
to the Russian Embassy at Constantinople, ar-
rived here express from that city ; he had passed
through Berlin, and proceeded/by sea to Stock-
holm. He must have been the bearer of impor-
fant dispatches. The Russian Ambassador, Mr•
Von Suchtelin, immediately had a conference
with the Minister Von Engestrom. The latter
sent a Courier to the King. Mr. Von Suchtelen
went on the 28th with the Counsellor of Lega-
tion, Bodisco, to the Minister Mr. Von Welters-
tacit, and it was thought that he would follow the
King to Norway. It was supposed that the
King of Sweden would make the voyage from
Gottenburg to Norway on board a Frigate.
" BRUSSELS, AUG. s.—The Crown Prince of
Russia is arrived at Spa. It is affirmed that the
King of England will pay a visit to .he King of
the Netherlands about the middle of September,
and that his Majesty will reside at the Palace of
Lachen.

CC NUREMBURG, AUG.
,I.—A report, derived
from commercial letters, was yesterday in circu-
lation here, that Baron Strogonoff had fallen a
victim to the fury of the Turks. We hope that
this melancholy intelligence will prove un-
founded.

" FRANKFORT, JULY 27.—Very little doubt is
now entertained here, even in the higher circles,
that Russia, by a rapid and powerful interference,
will put an end to the horrible scenes in the
Ottoman empire. It is affirmed that this will be
done not only in concurrence with the other
members of the Holy Alliance, but even with the
consent of England. This interference might
lead to the establishment of a separate indepen-
dent Christian Monarchy, formed of the European
Provinces of the Ottoman Empire,' and thus the
vacuum would be filled up, which the weakness
of the Ottoman Government has caused to be
long felt in the political system of Europe, and
which cannot be remedied except by the founda-
tion of a powerful State in the south-east part of
this portion of the globe."

Should it please PROVIDENCE to bless the
country with a favourable season, the crops now
on the ground, though the completion of the har-
vest will be unusally late, are expected to be
abundant and of good quality.—Whatever may
be the consequences to the farmer, it is still
matter of joy and thankfulness that our fields
every where smile with the bounteous products
of the earth, presenting the glad assurance that
the means of subsistence for all classes of the
people are again plentifully provided for.—We
have said, whatever may be the consequences
to the farmer;—for, unfortunately, plentiful bar-
vests,—those blessings which ought to rejoice the
hearts of all,—have ceased to be a source of
gladness to him. If his crops should fail, the
opening of the ports,—the pouring into the mar-
ket of the immense quantities of grain now
locked up under the warehousing system,—
and the further influx of foreign corn from the
Continent,—prevent him, (happily, however, for
the people at large), from obtaining such a price,
as to compensate for the scantiness of his pro-
duce. If his crops, on the other hand, are abun.
dant, the redundancy of the home supply has the
same effect; and the depression of price occa-
sioned by an excess of production, inevitably
fixes him, tor at least another year, in the
ruinous situation to which he has already for
some time been reduced. It is evident that
there is something essentially wrong in our
social system, which thus places the interests of
the Public, and the interests of the Cultivators of
the Soil, in opposition to each other. If the
occupation of a farmer is only profitable, when,
either from artificial scarcity, or some other
cause, it is difficult for the mass of the peo-
ple to obtain bread)—and if the same impor-

Cant occupation becomes unprofitable or ruin-
ous, the motnent that agricultural entetprise and
skill have succeeded in enriching the country
with plenty,—it is high time that so great and
mischievous an anomaly should be remedied. Mr.
OWEN has proposed to effect this great improve-
ment in our domestic economy by rendering the
price of agricultural produce an object of subor-
dinate importance to its abundance ; and yet at
the same time to afford higher rents than are now
paid to the landlords. We see clearly that this
is one beneficial result which would certainly
flow from the adoption of Mr. OWEN'S plans ;
and if those plans were productive of no other
advantages, this one, alone, is great enough to
induce a favourable attention to his propositions.

Lord GREY'S arrival at Warren's Hotel, and
Lord LAUDERDALE'S sudden departure to see
His MAJESTY, has revived the rumour of some
change being contemplated in the Administration.
Extract of a Letter from Shrewsbury, dated August 8, eleven
o'clock, Pat-44 The Earl of LAUDERDALE has just passed
through this city, on his route to Lord ANGLEsEA's seat at
Plasnewodd, having left London at six o'clock in the morning.
.So urgent was considered to be his desire to have an interview
with his MAJESTY, whom he there expected to meet, and so
rapid was the disposition of his movements to effect this object,
that his Lordship did not suffer himself to remain longer than
two minutes (the extraordinary quick time of changing horses)
at the Lion Inn, taking with him in his carriage a trifling par-
ticle of refreshment."

The Morning Paper from which the first ac-
count of the melancholy occurrence at Boulogne-
stir-Mer was taken, (which we have already in-
serted) has since published the following. article :

TO THE EDITOR.
Sin,—l have only this moment seen an account, in the paper
of this day, of an unfortunate rencontre at Boulogne-sur-Aler.
I have myself received a different account of the transaction from
a person who was present, and have seen a person from thence.
Both these accounts lead me to believe the wounds inflicted
were in self-defence. The public is therefore requested to sus-
pend its judgment until the circumstances of this unfortunate
case are known. I am, Sir, your humble Servant,
August 9. A. B.

[FROM ANOTHER MORNING PAPER.I
We have the most positive authority to contradict the para-
graph which we, in common with other Journals, copied from
an Evening Paper, purporting to give an account of a transac-
tion said to have occurred in the house of Mr. Webster -Wed-
derburne, at Boulogne-sur-Mer. As we are led to expect an
official document upon the subject, and as it will probably be-
come matter for a legal process, further comment at present is
unnecessary.

Important advices were received yesterday
from Mexico, by a vessel which sailed on the
9th ult. from Havannah. Col. lIEvIA, the com-
mander of the Royalist troops, had been killed
in an attempt to carry by storm a strong post
near Puebla, held by the insurgents ; and his
fate had struck so much terror into his troops,
as to threaten the most fatal consequences to the
royal cause. Of the state of the interior no cer-
tain intelligence could be obtained, as the com-
munications between Vera Cruz and Mexico were
completely interrupted. The Governor of Vera
Cruz had sent to Havannah for a reinforcement
of troops, not considering his garrison sufficiently
strong to support the expected attack of the in-
surgents. The merchants and rich families at
Vera Cruz were in the greatest alarm_ and confu-
sion. Their whole property, in goods and mo-
ney, to an immense amount, was. packed up
ready to be shipped off for Havanna and other
ports, on the approach of the insurgents.
A letter from Dusseldorff, dated the 29th of
July, positively contradicts the report of the as-
sassination of Prince'lionENLonE. The report
arose from the declaration of a student, that he
would assassinate the Prince wherever he met him.

Some transports, with the 51st regiment, ar-
rived at Corfu from England, previous to the 10th
July ; and two British frigates, and three sloops,
with about 300 troops on board, sailed from
Zante 29th June, and steered towards Patras.
Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of CLA...
RENCE visited the Duchess of KENT, at her resi-
dence, at the King's Palace, at Kensington.
The Duke of SAXE MEININGEN took an aquatic
excursion down the River Thames yesterday.
On Thursday afternoon Mr. HILL, the King's
Messenger, left town with dispatches, for the
KING and the Marquess of LONDONDERRY, sup-
posed to be those brought by Mr. NICOLAY, the
Extra Messenger, from Sir W..A'CounT, the
Minister at Naples. Yesterday Mr. MATES, the
King's Messenger, left town with dispatches for
the KING, at Dublin.
Lord STEWART, our Ambassador at the Court
of Austria, has arrived at the Pulteney Hotel,
Piccadilly.
Mr. THOMAS, of the Lord Chamberlain's Of-
fice, went to Brandenburgh House on Thursday
and yesterday, to make arrangements and to give
directions respecting the funeral of the QUEEN.
The Dowager Countess of MEXBOROUGH, we
regret to state, departed this life at half past ten
o'clock on Thursday evening.

BRIGHTON, AUG. 9.—Yesterc'ay was a day
thoroughly damp ; it rained ince'santly, and
scarcely a fashionable was seen abroad. The
Duke of Ironic was walking in the town this
morning, and on horseback in the afternoon.
General MUNDY and Colonel DE BURGH, have
the honour of dining with his Royal Highness
to-day. The QUEEN'S death, an account of
which reached us early yesterday, occasioned a
similar sensation in all parts of Ale town—every
countenance seemed to express," May her faults
die with her, and not be remembered in her
epitaph."
His MAJESTY was so pleased with the falcons
which his Grace the Duke of Alruot. presented at
the Coronation, that he ordered them again to be
produced at the Levee. The birds arrived again
in Greenock last Wednesday, by the Superb
steam boat, on their way home. They are de-
scribed as having an extremely fine appearance,
and their venerable keeper is to exhibit his skill
in falconry when his MAJESTY visits the Duke of
ATHOL.

STRIKING INSTANCE OF THE IMPROVEMENT OF
THE NAVIGATION OF THE CLYDE.—The fine
American brig Superb, of 228 tons burden, ar-
rived on Friday, at the Broomielaw from New
York, with a full cargo, chiefly cotton. This is
the largest foreign vessel, fully loaded, that has
come up to Glasgow. She is said to be intended
for a regular trader between New York and
Glasgow.—(Edinburgh Star.)
