BAH4MA

We have received the lioyd Bahama Gazette of
April 19, by which, we are sorry to observe, that the
eniaunderstandinA which took place in that Settle-
ment Several months ago, between the House of
Assmbly and do" King's Officers, is by no means at
an end. Our Readers will recollect, that the At-
torney-Genera; •:t the Settlement having been or.
derrd under arrest by the House of Assembly,
the Learned Gentleman resisted the Messenger of
the House. For this resistance an action was
brought, as for an assault. It was in vain the
Chief Justice tad the Jury, tl►at the warrant bcirg
decidedly illegal, there could be no assu.lt. The
Jury were res,,lute, and brought in a verdict of guilty.
A wtot►•n for a new trial was then rrade, on the
ground that the verdict was contrary to 14w, evi-
dence, and the direction of the Court The motion had
rot been decided t-pon at the date of the last accounts.
ne find from the same Gazette, that a true bill has
been found against one William Wylly. the same
natne with that of the Attorney General, for com-
pounding felony. We presume that this also is some
haras.ing step whtch the adherents of the defunct
House of Assembly have taken against the AttOrney
General. •

PRIVATE LEE lER.
" PARIS, JOLT 14.
" The Piime Minister, the Duke of Richelieu, is
very mach displeased that the Archbishops and Bi-
shops ir. several ot the departments, have published
in the J itirnals the letter which he addressed to them,
along with the letter of the Pope ; and that in this
manner the French Public had become acquainted,
by means of the Clergy, and not of the. Minister,
with the extent to which the letter had proceeded
between his Holiness and the Court of Fiance,
regard to the new Concordat. The Journals of Palls
have likewise received orders not to publish in their
4 ' cclormis the letter of the Pope, which the Clergy had
published in the Newspapers of the departments.
" I am now able to communic:-.... in substance
the Treaty entered into by the great Allied Powers
who signed !...e Act of the Congress regarding the
Sovereignty of the Duchies of Parma, Placentia, and
Guastlll.l. This treaty removes the ditliculties which
existed on the subject of the 99th Article of the Act
of Congress, and on account of which Spain refused
to sign the Act. The following is the substance of
the Treaty r—The Duchies of Parma, Placentia, and
Guastalla.will be restored after the death of her Im-
perial Highness the Duchess Maria Louisa, to the
Infanta Maria Luuisa (widow of the Duke of Parma
and King of Etruria), and to her male descendants
in a direct line, with the exception of the districts
situate on the left bank of the Po, and enclosed in
the estates ot his Majesty the Emperor of Austria.—
'ln default ot male issde the rights of succession of
the Emperor of Austria and of the King of Sardinia
will be revived. The Infanta Maria Louisa will, in
the mean time, obtain provisional possession of the
principality of Lucca, and will receive the arrears of
500,000 francs which Congress had assigned her.—
Austria has reserved the right of maintaining a per-
manent garrison in the fortress of Placentia. In
'virtue of this treaty Spain has acceded to the Act
signed at Vienna on the Oth of June, 1815."

44 Venerable Brethren and dear Sons, Salvation
and the Apostolic Benediction—ln viewing, after so
many terrible vicissitudes, the vineyard which the
"AMU has !flamed in. the fine kingdom of France, we
• have easily come to the conclusicn that the means of
cultivating it with greater success consisted in em-
ploying a greater number of labourers. This is what
our dear Son in Jvays CriorsT, Louis, his Most Chris.

thin Majesty, has likewise thought, who, •desiring to
consolidate the edifice, shaken by the violence of the
winds, has expressed to us his anxious wish for the
increase of the number of Bishoprics, by giving to the
dioceses new limits ; persuaded that this measure
' would afford the happiest facilities for the arrange-
ment of the ecclesiastical affairs of this great kingdom.
" There is no need of long discourse, venerable
brethren and dear ions, to convince you with what
joy and with what steal we are disposed to second,
'with our Apostolic authority, the pious denies of so
religious a King; for it is not the davealates: of
human affairs (as St. Innocent I. says) which leas
irspired us with the idea of changing the elate of the
Chrch ; but we congratulate.ourselves that GOD gives
us now the importunity of accomplishing what we
have A long time desiied, and what only insurtnount '1
elite obstacles have prevented us from executing.
Our Intention, therefore, bring to preserve the Archi-
episcopal and Episcopal Sees at present existing, and
to erect anew several of those which existed before
the year 1801, it is indispensable to make a new di-
vision of the. Dioceses, which we have resolved to fix,
in proposing to ourselves the greatest advantages for
the flock of the Loap. •
'` Your own experience has, doubtless, made you
'feel the advantages which must reeult from this plan,
ter the good administration of the Dioceses ; there-
fore we do not doubt of your zealous assent to this
division. It is with perfect confidence we make this
demand from each of you by these letters. It is a
-question, my venerable brothers and dear sons, which
regards the salvation -of souls; for which purpose
g cannot be too great sacrifices, seeing that out
