a Congress may be called upon to determine.
The intelligence from Barcelona is not of a later

It is stated from Hanover, that the States of that
kingdom were immediately to be convoked, in order
to submit to the King a proposition for relieving the
kingdom from maintaining an army so dispropor-
tionate to its population. To effect this it would be
proposed that 15,000 Hanoverian should be employed
in the garrisons of Malta and the lonian Islands.
The King of the NETHERLANDS opened the Meet-
ing of the States General, at the Hague, on the 15th
instant, in a speech, in which he congratulates them
on the continuance of peace—the favourable prospect
of internal tranquillity: commerce and navigation
are not diminished, but the state of manufactures is
not equally prosperous. A revision of the financial
system his MAJESTY declares to be necessary, as,
though the produce of some of the taxes has been
greater, that of the imposts has decreased. His MA-
JESTY concludes with expressing his satisfaction at
the labours of the States-General for the revision-Of
the Civil Codes, and says some new Projects will be
submitted to their consideration on this subject.

BRIDGE TOWN (BARBADOES), JULY 31.
This day his Excellency Lieutenant-General Sir
Henry Warde, our Governor, opened the Assembly
with the following speech :
"Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Council—

I feel truly sensible of the high honour which his
Majesty has been graciously pleased to confer on me,
by placing me as Governor over such a most parti-
cularly respectable and enlightened body of people
as those of this old established Colony ; and I can
most conscientiously affirm that I do, and I hope
ever shall, entertain an earnest desire to carry on the
arduous duties of my situation (as far as the friilties
of human nature will admit of), aided by the very
able advice of the President and Council, with justice,
_ _

integrity, aid impartiality, according to the best of
my abilities.
" I could have wished to have informed myself on
many points connected with my Government, but
fearing being biassed in my opinion, by learning too
much, I have preferred remaining in ignorance,
hoping that I might gradually inform myself, with-
out any serious detriment to your interest. I under-
stand, however,that some material defects have been
discovered in the laws relating to the prosecution of
slaves for criminal offences which cannot too soon be
remedied ; I therefore submit this subject to your
immediate consideration."

Government feel the necessity of extraordinary
exertions to preserve the public tranquillity in Ire-
land, at present interrupted ; and several regiments
of Infantry have been ordered to take up their quar-
ters in the disturbed districts.

We have just learnt that JAMES BARNETT, Esq.
has accepted the Treasurership to the Indemnity Fund
for Sir ROBERT WILSON; and we have .the further
pleasure of stating, that Mr. 13. will attend the Public
Meeting on Thursday nest, at the City of London
Tavern.
DRURY-LANE THEATRIL—Last night, the boards
of Old Drury were adorned, for the first time this
season, with one of their brightest ornaments—that
inimitable child of nature—Miss KELLY. The cha-
racter in uhich she appeared was that of. Variella, in
the Farce of the Weathercock ; one not altogether cal-
culated to call her great talents into action, but there
is nothing to which she does not impart interest.—
Her reception by the audience, we scarcely need say,
was most cordial and hearty. HARLEY was full of
life and bustle, as usual, and seldom allowed to the
audience even a short repose of their risible muscles.
ADELPIII TitExran.—The new Piece, under the
title of the The Corsair's Bride, which was brought
out last night at this very entertaining little Theatre,
met. with complete success. Mr. WILKINSON dis-
played much humour, and was greeted with frequent
bursts of laughter and applause.
Mr. CHARLES VESTRIS, the son of STEPHANIVES-1
rats the Poet, and Madame BONEI VESTRIS, are en-
gaged for the ensuing season at the King's Theatre.l,
Madame VESTA'S is the sister of Madame DE Roust
DE BEGNI, and is said to eclipse her sister in attrac-
tiveness of person.
Mr. GRANT, of Waternish, and the Right Hon. C.,
GRANT, M.P. Secretary for Ireland, are on a visit to
the Marquis and Marchioness offlusmy, at Kinrara.
