" As Mr. Irvine has no personal enmity whatever against
the Governor, their differences must altogether have arisen from
causes connected with the administration of the Colony, and to
promote any reconciliation that is likely to be permanent, its
foundation must he laid on broad grounds, and such as will
give, and for th,l future tend to secure an ample share offree-
dom to the inhabitants of this island."

Ist Air. Irvine, it is to be Understood, will Make no terms
for hiniself alone, independently of those with whom he has
been in the,' habit of acting, with any one, or more, or all of
whom, it Ana be competent for Irvine to consult and
communicate pending these propossls.
2d. Mr. Speaker Onslow, than whom no man Was: better
versed in Parliamentary righ4, has declared, " that the r Com-
mons ought never to depart fridin. theli privilege of adjourning
to what time they think fit, it benig tho great security of their
own privileges," and Mr. Irvine is so thoroughly convinced,
that, without this right, the Assembly can enjoy •no freedom
whatever. That the basis of all accommodation must com-
mence with a distinct recognition on the part of his Excellency,
of the right of the Assembly of adjourning itself during its
Sessions, to what that It shall think tit, and to obviate all diffi-
culties on this head the Act of the Island, which has been said
to militate against this right shall be repealed, and an Act de-
claratory of the right shall be passed.
he Order made in the Court of Chancery for disbarring
Mr. Henry Glanville shall be rescinded.
4th. When- the right of the Assembly to adjourn shall have
been thus recognized, and the order for disbarring Mr. Henry
Glanville shall have been rescinded, Mr. Irvine shall resign
the Speakership of the Assembly.
N.B. It will be with great reluctance Mr. Irvine will resign
the more immediate guardianship of the privileges of the As-
sembly ;- but as this would be necessary on account of the scar-
city of persons in the Colony practically conversant with busi-
ness, any supposed honour must he sacrificed to utility.
sth. hither Mr. Glanville or. Mr.•lrvine, as shall be here-
after agreed upon, shall undertake the business of the House
of Assembly, and Mr. Johnston, thd Barrister, if he can be
prevailed upon to accept a seat, shall be elected on the first
vacancy in the Assembly. •
Oth. Either Mr. Irvine or Mr. Glanville undertaking' the
management of the business of the Assembly, the other shall
be made a Counsellor, and take an active part at that Board.

N. 13. Either of them would feel nitich diminelination to

leave the Assembly, but the want of a principal man of busi-
ness in the Council, has been, and would still be found, co
great a drawhack, that one must take a seat at the Board.
7th. Mr. Irvine shall not be obliged to take a' seat on the
Ilench of any of the Cosrte of the Wand.; having already as
much business, public and private, as he can dispose of.
After the Oentlemen with whom Mr. Irvine has b'een
in the habit of acting, shall have been informed of the prom.-
mats now on foot, the above articles, or any of them, she.; be
omitted or varied, and any others substituted in their or either
of their room, and any other or others shall be added thereto,

suitable to the view of the Omlemm so consulted.

9th. In case of a failure in coming to an arrangement, all
papers and letters that shall have passed shall be mutually
returned.

Runnemede, fib Febr"uari,

I forbear commenting upon the ready manner in which the
SpAtership and a seat 'ln 'the Council were to be disposed of,,
a 3 remark would be unnecessary and superfluous ; but it is with'
infinite satisfagion I. observe, that I have only been charged
with two faults,viz.:—That disbarring Al r,Henry Manville,and
my not recognizing the right of adjournment at pleasure in the
Ilovote of Assembly. Mr. Henry Manville has been sometime
reinstated ut the bar of the court of Chancery and Ordinary,
and an, Act for repealing the one of 1808 is now under the con-
sideration of his Majesty's:Governthent, which lairds a most
convincing proof that I could not recognize the right or
sembly to adjourn at pleasure, as long as the :Act. of 1806 re.
mained in force.
Thus it is evident I must stand acquitted of only accusa-
tions alleged against' me, affording' Int full 'encouragement to
hope that the legislative business of
,the y would proceed
in future rs it formerly had donc--that is, Zealously, and in a
true patriotic course.
I now proceed to answer the Address' presented to me at the
close'of the last Session.

When the Speaker waited upon me with the 13111 of Supply,
he at the some thee presented the usual petition for it proroga-
tion. 1 had delayed answering the Address for it very sound
reason; but I had never relinquished the intention of replying
previous to the prorogation ; and when 1 expressed my wish to
the Speaker for answering the '• Address the next day, he in.
formed me the House would net meet before the 22t1 of the
month. I suggested to him tle propriety of aftSellibling.the
House on some intervening day. His answer' way'; That,
wore he to attempt such a thing, the House, ymild ColOnlit
111111; hut he would notify my wish to meet them on that 22d,"
which I would not consent to, as it would be acknowledging the
right of adjournment at pleasure. I therefinesent the prorogit.
tion to the House the next day.
I stand charged in the Address with being the cause Of a Fe-
nerd gloom over the Colony, hinting at my want of hospitality.
that usual cement of Maclety ; to. which I reply, that It 4 far as
that particular point concerns me, one hundred and sixty per-
sons have. dined at Government House between the periods of
11111 of January last, And the tat of Septeniber following. It
would he curious to know how many and what -kind of guestm
have enjoyed the hospitality of my political opposers within
that period. t have never beard of the, jealousies, distrusts,
dissensions, Confusion, and misery, which are said' to be at pre-
sent existing in the Colony, until made known to me by the
Address :on the contrary, hart observed wlth infinite sat's.
faction that, in spite of political cababi, friendship-and harmony
exist much more generally hero 'than in most of the other
islands.! -

With ranA: * to the Spanish prize ship, 1 have to inform the
House that she was not captured by any neutral vessel, hut by
an American pirate, contrary to the express law of the United
States, winch very, humanely prohibited their citizens, from
taking any part in that horrible mode of warfare.
under penalty of lost; of property and liberty by Confinement for
life.

That ship WAS captured under the most aggravated horrors of
piracy : the owner, a Spanish gentleman, with his wife and fire
daughters, were on board they were removed to the privateer,
and 'we need be at no loss to judge -of the tate of those poor
women—that happy family were on their way to Spain, 'flatter-
ing themselves with the hope of spending their days in tran-
quillity and affluence, when, in an instant, they were plunged
into the lowest depth of misery by a set of lawless, rapacious,
cruel ruffians. The crew were all mtirdered except one man,
who was preserved to be their interpreter. That man claimed
the ship on behalf of the owner, which, according to the law of
nations, he had a right to do. It is truly lamentnble to find the
Representatives of the People of a British Colony advoc,tin,
the cause of piracy on the high seas against tit:offending and
unprotected merchants.
I am accused of having dismissed persons from their shun-
dons. I avow the fact, and invite investigation, for in no in-
stance have I exhibited the interest I take in the welfare of
the Colony in a stronger degree than on those occasions, let the
complaints come forward and they shall be answered.
As to the late Proclamation respecting the coin, I acted by
the opinion at' the Attorney-General, and by the unanimous
ativicet4r the Privy Council, and by con:plying with that ad-
vice, I consider I have rendered essential benefit to the Colony.
"I lie Privy Council consisted of the Governor and seven Mem-
bers.. he number of those who have so strenuously recotn.
tnended the recalling that Proclamation amounts to seven only.
The conclusion is obvious.
That the last Session was
prolonged to an almost unprece-
dented length, cannot be denied, but, it is equally certain that

On the 213th of February Ibraltim'Pacha 'made his attack on
Missolonghi, and succeeded in taking possession of a battery,
which, however, being mined, the Greeks set lire to the train,
and more than 1,000 of the Egyptian troops were blown into
the air. On, the Ist of March he renewed his attack, which pro-
'duce'd no decisive consequence ; but on the 2d, when he again
attacked the place; the Egyptian army Sustained a total defeat,
it is reported that a Gieelt corps, marching from Salons, under
th'e command of Colonel Fabvier, fell upon the rear of the Egyp-
thins, and cut a great number of them to pieces. Ibrahim Pacha's
loss Was estimated at several thousand men. He retreated upon
Aspro-Potamos, and,- as was thought, could not maintain his
communication with the coast. .It appears that the news of his
retreat to Patros requires confirmation. At Napoli di Romania
they were preparing a great number of small vessels, for the
purpose of conveying an expedition of 1,200 men to the isle of
Negropont.'

The French Minister of Finance, ift explanation of the
Treaty, has officially notified to th? Custom-house at Havre,
that the actual arrival of vessels previous to the 6th of April,
will determine, the applicability of the Treaty to their cargoes.
Goods, of which the actual arrival can be proved before the sth
of April, may be warehoused, and will be admissible for con.
sumption in France. Those which may have been actually
warehoused before the. sth of April, may be taken out for homo
consumption, re.exportation, or transit.

Rio Papers of the 24tti January were received
this morning at the North and South American

interest.

The intelligence from Greece might be highly
gratifying, were we but assured of its autheu.
ticity. PACUA is stated in recent
advices, to have been so completely defeated
in his recent attacks on Missolongbi, as to
have retreated from before the place with
the remnant of his army, having suffeied great
loss in successive attacks. A battery which
had been carried, being previously mined, one
thousand of IBRAlllbei troops are alleged to have
been blown into the air. To these exaggerted
statements we cannot give the slightest cre-
dit, knowing as we do, from the personal nar.

SITTIG or THE SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES..

aESEIIAL.

The Sitting opened at noon. The Proces-verbal of the last;
Sitting was read, but could not be approved, because there
were two few Members present."
The PIirSIDEXT gave notice that he had reetived'various
messages from the First Chamber, in which it declare* its,
assent to the project of law, containing all the chapters of
the 3d Book of the Code of Commerce, and that of the Civil
Code, treating of property to that, making some changes in the
tariffof Customs, and to that authorising a loan of 20 millions
for the Colonies.

The PRESIDENT having caused a Royal Decree to be read,
which appoints the Minister of the Interior to close, in his
Majesty's name, the present Session of the Statea•General at
one o'clock,
M. VAN SASSE VAN YSSELT rose and said—Allow me,
Sir, to ask you a question, to which, however, I expect
an answer only from courtesy. The Director-General of the
Affairs of the Catholic Worship lately promised us an
official communication of the negocations between the Belgian.
Government and the Court of Rome; I ask you, Sir, whether..
the documents relative to these negociations have come to your.
knowledge.

The'PRESIDENT having announced that on account of the'
incomplete state of the Chamber, he could not charge hiraself
with any communication.
31. VAN SASSE continued—" The Director Generated the
Catholic worship having solemnly engaged in this Chamber to,
make to us a communication of six very interesting paPeTil,
since they were to serve to tranquillize people's minds and ti-
morous consciences, it is impossible that people should know
how far that functionarfhas fulfilled his promise, consequentir
observed the aspect due to the Chamber."

The President replied, that he had received no document
relative to this subject. The two Chambers met together at'
half-past 12, rtnd. the Session was dulled by the Minister of the
Interior.

AMSTERDAM, MARCH 27.
The Journals continue to give at great length the official
accounts of the affairs of Java to the 9th November, which
were on the whole satisfactory.

NVe have received Hamburgh Papers to the

extracts. It will be seen by a communication
from Leipsig, that the vi ell known house of
RICHTRR, has sunk beneath the pressure of com-
mercial embarrassment :

LEIPSIO, MARCH 20.
The Persians whom we expected for the fair, are already
arrived with money and bills of exchange.

In the failures already mentioned, we regret to add that of
the house of Richter, which has existed for 170 years; it is one
of the first in the leather trade, and the chief of it is very much
pitied.

Applications are now making from various districts,
for participation in the relief offered through the
medium, of the Bank of England, which may yet
be claimed, even to the amount originally con.
templated. The truth is, a convulsion so violent
has occasioned a genvral dislocation of commer-
cial relations, which cannot be reduced %%ithout

The South American ars trumped up t story
this morning of an 'expedition from the Iluvannah
against Mexico. By what route it is to proceed
to that capital has not been stated.

Ad vices from Mexico, to the 2d of February,
were received on Saturday. They state, that,
eontrary.lo general.expectation, much opposition
had been made by the Government to the altera-
tions proposed by Mr". CANNING in:the Mexican
treaty,-which was carried back 'hy Mr. MORIER.
This opposition has assumed so decided a cha-
racter, that Mr. Waan made preparations for
returning to England, and even sent off a portiOn
of his baggage to the coast, to be placed on- board
his Majesty's ship Vigilant. In this state of
-things, however, R wish was expressed by the Go-
vernment to enter again, into a negotiation, the
reSulrof which had not transpired when the pre:
sent advices left Mexico. It was gene.rally sup.:
Posed that if Mr. Morier remains firm, he will in
the end carry his point. The subject in dispute
is believed in Mexico to be the right of search,
and the determining what, shall pr shall not con-
stitute a Mexican vessel. It is further said, that
the right of search had been given upon making
,the„ first treaty,
,but that Mr. Canning would not
ratify it with that article as a part of it. The
American Minister in Mexico was believed to be
te:iug great •exeition, 'to induce the Mexican Go-
vernment to remain firm on the point at issue,
groat jealousy being entertained by the Nmeri-
eons :it the superior influence of the English. A.
report of the Mexican financeis has been publish-
ed by Esteva, the Minister of Finance, in which
lie calculates that at the end of the year 1826
.'7•there Will be a surplus of 992,500 dollars of re=

from the Mining districts are said in these letters
