ActsincorreCt in poitA of fidctt, unconstitutional in
principle, and evincing, in terms apparently of
srudied,disrespect, a total distegard to the com-
mands of the Crown, signified upon points dis-
tinctly submitted by flee House ,to the Royal
Judgment and Decision. ,
" The blouse has also commenced further pro-
Teetlings against his Majesty's Attorney-General
?or an alleged offence, for which he was com-
mitted by the late House of Assembly, and dis-
charged upon the Dissolution of it. This Act,
unsanctioned by any precedent or usage whatever,
and going beyond the powers ever exercised even
by Parliament itself, appears to MC to be an as-
sumption of arbitrary .and illegal authority, so
pregnant with immediate danger to the rights and
liberty of the subject, flint i cannot, con-istentty
with the duty which I owe to my Sovereign, per-
mit the House to proceed any further towards the
oppression of all ineividnal, who has been already
imprisoned for a justifiable resistance to an illegal
warrant ; for, I must ever maintain, that a war-
rant under which a person is committed in execu-
tion, bvfore he is heard in his defence, is, ac-
cording to rite principles of the British Constitu-
cion, illegal and void, twin whatever authority it

may emanate.
" It it were possible, however, for me to he so
regardles's of toy duty as to permit the House to
continue in the uncontrouled exercise of a dan--
vetting and unconstitutional Power, the Acts,
Resolutions, Proceedings, and Temper of the
House lead directly to renewed and increased con-
tentions between the Authority ot the Assembly
and the Judges of the General Court ; I feel it
therefore necessary, in order to preserve the pub•
lie peace, to protect from violence persons de-
clared by the Judgment ot the Crown,- upon the
complaint of the House, to be guilty of no
offence whatsoever, and to prevent (if possible)
a fatal interruption to all public proceedings, to
resort to a pouer constitutionally vested in me as
his :Majesty's Representative.
" Gentlemen of the Council,
" Mr. Spealer and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly,
" I therefore think lit to Prorogue this Gene-
ral Assembly to Tuesday the 21st of July inst.;
and it is hereby prorogued accordlitiviy.

?RV/ATE LETTER PROM PARIS, AUG.3I.

fi Sir Robert Steele left Paris on Saturday for
Madrid, %vitt) dispatches for the British Ambas-
sador at thAt Court from his Excellency Sir
Churle• Stuart. . .

'•• For several days past they affect to speak in
different circles of a Treaty of Alliance, offensive
-and defensive, concluded between the Cabinets of
St. Petersburgh and the Thuilleries, which is to
remain a secret, and not to be acted upon between
the two Courts until after the retreat of the Army
ut Ocenhation.
"'I only notice this to you as a report circulat-
ed by certain politicians, for persons who are in-
timate with the Russian Minister, Count Pozzo di
Borgo, doubt very much the existence of this
treaty.
" The same newsmongers spread many other
rumours relative to the ensuing Congress ; but
their exaggeration or improbability gains them
hot little credit. It is well kmiwn that the fasces.
of the quadruple alliance are more indissoluble
than ever, and if, by the nature of things, and the
political importance of France, this quadruple
alliance become quintuple, the repose of Europe
would only be the more confirmed.
" We have recently,. learnt, in a positive man-
ner; that the Cabinet of Madrid has addressed it-
self to that of St. Petersburgh, to invite the Al-
lied Monarchs,when assembled at Aix-la-Chapelle,
to deliberate uptm•the great affair of the media-
tion between'Spaio and Portugal. It is asserted,
its consequence, that the Emperor Alexander has
written to his august Allies. Thus, the Ctingress
of Sovereigns, according to all appearances, will
'not be exchairet# occupied with thequestion rela-
tive to the Army of Occupation.
Besides, the liberation of our territory is
considered as absolutely certain, and at farthest,
is expected to take place about the end of October.
Already French Commissioners are appointed to
take possession of the fortreases that are to he
given up, and it is antrounced,that et this moment.
General Haxo is proceeding along the line; to
direct the operations which must precede the sub-
stitution of French troops for those of the
Allied Forces. Jr is probably with this view
that dt levy of 40,000 men has recently been
ordained. It is no 'longer thought that the
levy of the remaining 40;000 men eon lie
dis-
peused with in the course of nettrrear, if krBUt;e
