- In the anxiety of the Morning Chronicle this
day to give a specious colouring to Mr. Baottox-
ases parting Pamphlet, delivered in the House of
Commons on the last day of the Session, it has
made a charge that operates against the very cause
which it attempts to defend. It accuses the Nli-
nisterial Writers of endeavouring" to lake ithari.
tage of The thinness of the House, in order to per-
suade the country that measures were proposed,
and things passed, of the most extravagant anti
violent nature." But it the House was so thin, as
alleged, may. it not be as well inferred that Mr.
BRouGnArd took advantage of that thinness to -sSg-
gest, to propose, and to declaim, Convinced, per-
haps, that upon 'a fuller attendance the lionse
would have.seen through all his specious reasoning,
and have manifested discontent at so loug-windeti
and -unseasonable an harangue at st.rh a moment.
As to the extravagance and violence that passed oil
the occasion, we need only reler to the-speeches
of Mr. BENNET and Sir FRANCIS BUlu as
well as to, that of the Chronicle's Hera, Me..
BRouGnAm, and lease the public to determines
whether ail was vwderatiore, candour, and decency
on the part of the Opposition. But there is one
passage in the Chronicle which might tempt us to'
suppose that it intended to be ironical, and almost,
indeed, inclined to Mock itself. is sacs, " the

searrinty heaped upon the iodkidual4 engagtd,

We are happy to have it in our power tit com-
Municate the fate of a Memorial transmitted some
months ago to his Royal Highness the PRINCE
REGENT by certain Persons in the City, COD-

accusations against Sir RALPH WoonFoan, the:
Governor of that Colony.- The MeMorial has
undergone the most serious invistigation of the
.PRINCE REGENT'S Government, and the allegations
have been examined with a minute and scrupulous
enquiry, and we have great satisfaction in bring
able to announce that such engsiiry has elided in a
manner most highly honourable to the Governor.
His Royal .Highness has been pleased, in
,the
tstrongrst terms, to approve of Sir RALPH WOOD-
FORD'S Administration in Trinidad, in every par-
ticular; and has directed, that the sense which
he has been pleased to express of its character and
merits, should be entered in .the Minutes of his
MAJESTY'S Council, that it may be transmitted to
posterity. This cabal against the Governor of
Trinidad, has been formed by a • set of men
who have disturbed the peace of that Colony
ever since it became BasTissi, by an idle and
•senseless clamour for the introduction into it
of British Laws, thereby setting aside one of the
finest systems of Jurisprudence for the Govern-

possibly devise, the Spanish Code administered

has upon a former occasion its the House of Com-

Government, in
,their rapid progression of that
Colony, now the most valuable in that part of the
West Indies, from the great number of free
labourers which it possesses, to a state of wealth,
happiness, and security, unknown to any of our
other Colonies in that quarter of the globe.

of the reviving state of the Iron Trade, and the
increasing demand fur all articles manufactured
fro!r that staple commodity. The want of this
article in France, from their not having iron ore
in their Coal Districts, will nainrally beget a grow-

by the adaptation of iron to purposes WhereliM-
