[Morning Post.]

So important were the advices received on Sutt
day from St. Helena relative to the plot for ef-
fecting the escape of Buonaparte, that dispatches
upon the subject were with all possible speed
sent off to Lord Castlereagh, at Aix-la-Chapelle.
Nothing further has been suffered to transpire be-
yond what ve yesterday stated upon this subject ;
but our readers may rest assured, that however fa-
cetiously the friends of Buonaparte in this country
may affect to treat the affair, the circumstances
attending the happily discovered plot were of
the most serious, important, and alarming de-
scription.

We have heard from respectable authority,
that several vessels have lately been observed
hovering off the Island of St. Helena, xvhieh,
when chased by our cruisers, hastily made their
escape,—(lbid.)

BAHAMA, Sect. 30.

To the Editors of the Bahama'Royal Gazette.

Erns,---Your insertion of the following para-
graph frOrn Mr. Aikinan's Jamaica Royal Gazette
or the 21/th August ult. will no doubt be highly
gratifyitig to many of your Readers, as well as to
the 142 independent Inhabitants who addressed
their late Representatives by an unqualified ap-
proval of their conduct and efforts in maintaining
the just rights of their constituents.
ONE OF THE 142.
Nassau, 49th Sept. 1818.

Our Postscript is principally taken up with
the details from the Bahama Gazette to the 12th
relative to the unfortunate situation of our
biter Colony, which has been thrown into a state
of confusion by the dissolution of its Assembly,
occasioned, no doubt, by the secret in:lnence of
the saints at home. We rejoice to see the firm stand
made by the inhabitants of the Bahamas against
t kis invasion of their rights and priv!leges as Bri-
tons, being, confident •hat if once yielded to there,
it would be but the prelude to similar attempts in
evtry other of these Islands."

Messrs. Editors.

SlRS,—ilaving already banded you for inser-
tion (knowing it will gratify your Readers) the
remarks of that respectable Editor Mr. Aikman,
I beg leave now to hand you that of another, as
respectable, the Editor of the St. Sago de la Vega
Gazette, copied from a piper of a third Editor
equally respectable, Air. Liman, Editor of the
Kingston Chronicle, of the 7th inst. which tends
to shew the inhabitants of this Colony, that they
at least merit the approval of their fellwv-subjects,
the inhabitants of the first Colony of Britain—
Jamaica. I am, Sirs, your's, &c. &c.

Extract from the Jamaica Kingsion Chronicle, of

the 7th instant.

(SEPTEMBER, 1818.)

•' In our last we inserted sundry proceedings
of the Bahama Legislature, respecting a late breach
of their privileges, and we have this week pub-
lished a correspondence from the Bahama Gazette
on boil► sides of the ques►ion, which, we think,
will prove interesting to our readers, as their situ-
ation has been, and again may he, our own. The
privileges of their Assembly have unquestionably
been grossly insulted and broken through, and
must be defended and restored before they can
again sit with any dignity, propriety, or safety, as.
a Legislative Body. We rejoice, however, to
observe on so trying an occasion, that there are
men among them able end willing to defend them;
men c: ho evidently pnssess talents and every re-
quisite information, and by whose perseverance
they must ultimately succeed. They will then tuerit
the thanks and congratulations of the British West
Indies. If Judges and Attorney-Generals are to
prescribe and limit the privileges of the Representa-
tives of the people, they %voniti soon dictate to them
what laws should be passed. lint such are ti►e evii

log Agents of the African Institution in places of
trust and power in the West Indies, and such we
fear will be the case, while they unfortunately
possess so malignant an influence over his Ma;
jesty's-Ministers. The Island of. Dominica affords
another lamentable instance of this in a Governor
formerly•in the employ of the African Institution,
who. came out under circumstances so insulting
to the feelings of the Colonists as we cannot men-
tion, and whose conduct in directing ex-officio
informations by the Attorney-General, and in
officiously communicating certain proceedings of
a Jury to Lord Bathurst, we some time ago no-
ticed. For the sake of the inhabitants of both
these Colonies, for the sake of the Mother Coun-
►ry, we sincerely pray they may pass through
the fiery ordeal unhurt ; - we hope they will
be able to escape the snare which has been
laid for them to gratify the wishes of the
blood-thirsty Junto who have suggested the ex-
periments, and whom, we fear, the Colonial Mi-
nister listens to with too much partiality.",
