THE GOVERNOR'S REPLY.
" Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the Rouse of General
Assembly,
" Ist the Address with whlc you honoured me yesterday, it
is stated that my salary is much larger than any ever before
granted to a Governor, which I adrillt • but I must bring to
-your recollection, that my immediate predecessor received large
pecuniary presents from the colony, whereas I have expended
nearly three thousand pounds currency in improving the Go-
vernment House and grounds, the latter being a perfect wilder-
ness when I arrived.
" The Address further observes, that, k consequence of the
heavy pecuniary distress now existing, the colony is unable to
defray the expense of the public buildings now erecting, or
about to be erected. If so, why not defer any new buildings
until they can be proceeded upon without inconvenience?
" Instead of the mode about to be adopted for raising sup-
plies, surely it would be more just and reasonable to call upon
the absentees to contribute at least twenty per cent. from the
sums they annually draw from their estates to support them in'
the enjoyment of the comforts of Europe. Those Gentlemen'
ought to be the first to come forward on this occasion, when the'
security and profit of their property is at stake.
" I see na reason why the Address should bring to my recol-
kotion the conduct of our gracious Sovereign, with regard to his
reduction of the expenditure of the Civil List. His Majesty's
generosity and goodness of heart has ever been, and will con-
tinue to be, an example to his subjects, and to all the world!
But I require no stimulus to urge me to do that which I consi-
der right; the principles of rectitude and duty are sufficient In
themselves for my guidance, in either my public or private station.
" Still less do I conceive the necessity for mentioning the DuIN
of Manchester' for, were the whole amount of any salary to be
deducted from that of his Grace, it would not be perceived. .
" The Address remarks on the attachment I have always ex-
pressed for the Colony. I confidently appeal to the whole com-
munity, to declare whether my actions have not corresponded
with my words in every practicable instance?
" I am called upon for a voluntary contribution from my sa-
lary, withiu a few mt•nths after the full salary of £3OOO per
annum had been gram. d to the Chief Justice during his absence
from the Colony : wt re 1 to go to Earope, either from choice
or necessity, my incur" e would cease.
" The Address has not left me the option of a voluntary offer-
ing, for it strongly insinuates that unless 1 do come forward, the
House will resort to a Bill for the reduction of my salary. That,
part of the Address, therefore, cannot be considered as an appeal
to my liberality.
" That the colony is greatly circumscribed in its means et
present, cannot he denied; but there is evidenty a prosp:ct of
better times. But there is no such hope for nit ; for, on the
2.5 th instant, tv:u of the Major-Generals out 01 the three holding
Governments will be reduced, when their staff pay and allow-
ances will cease, and the remaining one will have such an in-
crease of expense id his half yearly inspections as will consume
a very considerable part of his income.
" The House of Assembly expects that I will set an example
to the public officers, which is evidently unnecessary, as a reduc-
tion of their salaries has been already resolved on.
" With regard to toys: lf, the House of Assembly shall not be
disappointed, it being my intention, provided I remain on the
Staff, on the lit of January, 1152.5. to authorize the Public Trea-
surer to make such quarterly reductions from my salary for the
public service, as will leave no doubt of my determination to
serve the Colony. " F. P. ROBINSON, Governor.
" July 12. urn."

"-And with a iiier ofeolkelgi an-opinion 001104 rig abroad,
that on no occasion the Work" of Goverams hue redpeed4
did this House bring to pakr Bairlfences roleded fie' east
of the reduction of the bailey of Ms Grace the Duke of Man-
chester. This House alma agree with your Einelinter's the
view you have taken of the matter. • The redoctibn 'the.
Go-
vernor's salary in so wealthy indpopulous,a Minirf iiTairsitWa;
is a most convincing proof of the distreis generally
prevalent in
the West India Islands.
'4 This House do not wish to Mums the meths of your
celleney's administration of the Colony : in:papasl history will
one day review it, and posterity will decide upon the Witelo.:
But this House di declare that it was induced to adopt the moo
of an address to your Rteellency In preference to the originates(
a Bill, conceiving your Excellency would appreciate the swig*
which actuated this House, and fondly hoping, from the Ottacb-
'444 tnitafetted for the welfert of the Catooyin pebtle
and private by your Excellency, that you would,on such a faith-
ful eepresektarion of our calamities as wthare laid before You,
have been induced without hesitation to give up part of your in-
come (far_eiceeding our means) to meet the wants of the Ctilotty,
(tottering on the very brink of ruin.
" The House, on looking forward, can see no prospect of
better times ; -the staple manufactures of this colony are daily di-
minishing in value. The intercourse with the United States, so
much talked of, and from which much is expected by the san-
guine, is not likely to be so beneficial in its consequences ; for by
late accounts from that quarter, rum does nut produce a sufficient
return to enable the planter to pay the expense of making it.
" In continuing the salary of the Chief Justice during his ab-
*ewe from the colony on leave granted by your Excellency, this
House considered itself as discharging a debt to as old servant to
this colony, and that Mr. Pigget, at his advanced period of life,
borne down by the weight of domestic affiktion, was entitled to
the favour, kindness, and protection of this House. -
CHRISTOPHER IRVINE, Speaker.
" House of Assembly, July 15, 1622."
THE GOVERNOR'S VIRAL REPLY.
" Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the house of Attembly,
" What I have heard in this Address only serves to confirm
the propriety and justice of my answer to your first Adgitess."

fklE EVENING ST.ltt.

The pleadings at the Court of Assiteti at Poitiers Were
continued on -Saturday, and were erected to close
on the following day. The intilligenee from cneece
is not of much impoitance., An article frouilb'eter
burgh,.of the 10th ult. says---:The news of thUmaids
of several Turkish corps acrois Thessaly and lavadia;
against the More*, is fully confirmed. 11-gsicies
I,Cuotiascatn PACIIA, the Pacha of Salonica,-vvinS
had nothing more to fear in Mace lonia, has also ad=
,lanced with an imposing force by Larissa and Tiler::
:rnopyla, on Livadia ; and probably it was he who
detached the corps which proceeded from Negropont
against Thebes and Athens. But this is all *c at
present know of the military operations in those quar-
ters. Neither the strength of the opposing armies,
the positions they occupy, nor the itsue of the corn-
bats which have taken place between them, is at all
known.. If there had been a great battle in the early
part of July, it is almost impossible that the news
should not have arrived here, whoever might have
had the advantage. But no one of the Embassies,
and no mercantile house of any eminence has received
any news of this kind. At present it is certain
the Turkish fleet, amountitig to 120 vessels, haling
on board 20,000 troops, has not stopped at any c:;e
%jibe islands of the Archipelago, but has proceede&
to the More; where it is to assist the operations of tl.e
army. Very decisive events must soon take place t!:ei c.

A letter from Constantinople, dated the 10;11 GE
August, confirms the report of the death of the Greek
Patriarch. It appears, however, that he has not been
the victim of any violence on the part of the Turkish
Government. He died on the Bth of dropsy. His
funeral took place on the 10th. On the same day the
Porte authorized the election of his successor, and six
Greek Bishops, who had been detained as hostages in
the Seraglio, were at the same time set at liberty.—
The election fell upon one of these Prelates—the
Bishop of Calcedonia: The Porte had previously in-
timated, that if the choice fell on any of the detained
Bishops, the approval would experience no difficulty,
provided the candidate had the necessary qualitica-
dons, which, however, are not inconsiderable: for he
is required. to poisess experience, prudence, ability,
erudition, and ,fidelity to the Government. It is sail
that the Patriarch had written a letter to the Sultan,
in which he solicited the abolition of an impost ex-
tremely burden,ome to the Greeks of the capital, as
well as to the Armenians and Jews ; that the Sultan
received this application favourably ; and that before
the death of the Patriarch the tax was repealed.

This forenoon we received a German Mail, bring-

Observer of the 29th ult. gives news from Constanti-
nople of the 10th August, which mentions the death
f the Greek Patriarch, and the choice of the Bishop
of CIALCEDONA for his successor ; but there is not
word of the boasted •ictory of the Turks, which this
Paper was so ready to announce. The following
