REJOINDER.

" To His Excellency Sir Frrdtrick Philip Jtubinson, Knight
Commander of the Most Honourable Military Order of the
Bath, Captain-General and Governor In Cbief in and over the
Island of Tobago and its Dependencies, &c. &c. &c.
" May It please your Excellency,
" The Speaker and House of General Assembly beg leave
again to approach your Excellency, and renew their assurances
of uabotuided loyalty and attachment to their most gracious

Sotseafige.
" The House have heard with pain and extreme regret, the,
answer your Excellency has been pleased to give to the repro;'
sentatlon of the calamities and distresses of this once flourishing
Colony. The facts stated by this House are so strong and over-1
whelming, and so many additional ones are constantly presenting
themselves, that this House contemplate with fear, dread, and
anxiety, the future prospects of the Colony.
" This House are perfectly aware of the additional grants
made to your Excellency's immediate predecessor, bat be leave
to inform your Excellency that one of these grants, to the amount
of £835, was made to enable his Excellency Sir Win. Young to
furnish Government klouse, which was in a most destitute con-
dition s and the other, to the amount of £lOOO, was given to
enable Sir William Young to support the dignity and character
of the colony. But this House beg leave to observe, that Sir
William Young had no Staff appointment, and in every other re-
'yea his income was greatly circumscribed. That Sir William
Yowl expended the whole of his salary as Governor in the co.
May, in supporting its reputation for hospitality, and it was bat.
common justice to make him some compensation, as by his 11-
'llerality and generosity he, in an extraordinary degree, raised the
character of the colony, and gave it a lustre which it would have
still, no doubt, enjoyed, but for the overwhelm ing distreu which
is pressing upon it.
" The House have heard with astonishment the magnitude of
the sum expended by your Excellency in improving the Govern-
ment-house and grounds, but they beg leave to call to your ro.
collection, the returns laid before this House, of the immense
tams expended since your Excellency's appointment to the cons-
mad of this colony ; on this object amounting to no lea than a
sum of twelve thousand pounds.
" Your Excellency must be perfectly aware of the situation of
lbw agony as to its. public buildings, and of the impossibility of
dr election of such as mein peeress : were the emetics,
.e Wen. to be discontinued, the colony would be
wiebent a house la which to hold Courts for the administration
of Justice, the old Court-house Willa such a ruinous condition
as to render it unsafe for any number of persons to meet therein;
sad as to the erection of other buildings indispensably necessary
(a jail for instance), this House is wholly unable to carry the
.same into sliest without some assistance and relief.
" This Haase beg leave to call to your Excellency's recollee.
dais, the urgency with which your Excellency pressed the ne.
cessky of erecting such buildings, both to this House and else-
where. And this House cannot forget that all you io4uence
was exerted for carrying into effect meows& so essentiallykeces-
seri for the character and reputation of the colony.

Of the objects which induce the Holy Alliance to
hold another Congress, and of the feelings and dis-
positions by which these would-be arbiters of the des-
tinies of the world are actuated, few persons can be
ignorant. Their motives have already been deve-
loped—their wishes are sufficiently known, and nothing
remains but see the means to which they will resort
to accomplish their object.
The French Government, since the last restoration
of the BOURBONS, has scarcely been consulted on the
general affairs of Europe; but the critical situation
in which France is placed, as to the state of public
feeling, renders •it necessary to admit her as a party
lat the approaching Congress. No one doubts that,
the BOURBONS would go as far as any members of
the Holy Alliance in putting down liberal opinions,
did not their fears operate as a restraint; it is, how-
ever, said that the present Ultra Government or
France has determined on braving every hazard, and
that M. de MONTMORENCY, the French representative
at the Congress, is charged with proposing the fol-
lowing measures to Congress :
_ _ _

1. A uniform measure of compression to be adopted against
the present popular feeling so alarmingly prevalent in Europe;
for which purpose the Contracting Parties are to provide a mili-
tary contingent, to be employed at the request of any one of the
parties, the internal tranquillity of whose State may be menaced;
and the employment of this contingent not to be considered as
in any way interfering with the general relations of amity exist-
ing between the countries.
S. A general law for the regulation of the Press, which is to
suspend all local laws now authorising a greater latitude of publi-
cation than may be thought consistent with the new European
11 arrangements. _ _ _ _ _ _

3. The erection of a Tribunal upon the principle of the Haynes
Tribunal established at Troppau for the punishment of offences
against the German Confederacy, for the trial and punishment
of offenders against the order of things now existing in Europe.
The authority of this Tribunal to extend ova all Represent►
tire Governments, to the extent of bringing under its action in-
dividuals who may, from the Tribune of their National Asilena-
blies, hold language and inculcate doctrines deemed subversive
of the present system of legitimacy.
4. A measure which may induct or compel Spain to enterints
the views of the Holy Alliance, by the establishment of a Cheat.
her of Peers.
If the Congress should have the hardihood to listen
to such a proposal ; and, if in consequence of the
apathy of the English Minister,' or his inability to
overrule it, an attempt should be made to carry a pro-
ject so infamous into ,effect,, it will be easy to foresee
the consequence, that of lighting up the torsh of
civil war in every part of Europe; and hurling the
