intelligence 114 s betn received from Demerara, to
the 19th of March, which states that the Colonists have become
alarmed at a dispatch from Lord Bauman? stating, in strong lan-
guage, the necessity of immediately and fully complying with the
orders respecting the treatment of the slaves (at Demerara the new
regulations were enforced on the Ist of January, with three excep-
tions), and also at the great efforts in this country for the abolition
of slavery. They in consequence had held a public meeting, and
agreed to petition Government to refrain from further enforcing
the new regulations, and praying that they may be heard before the
Privy Council by Counsel. A memorial has also-been transmitted

nected by commercial relations, and which must, if eke measure be
persisted in, be destroyed. The petition is is be forwarded through
the Governor, D'Usisan.

Among the nutty persons tied upon as the author of " Jonius's
Letters," Lord George Seckville and 84 Philip Francis are by far
the meat probable. The following letter, however, written by Sir
Philip Francis to Major Cartwright. on his application to him to
attend a select meeting of friends to a Constitutional Reform in
Parliament, is so much in the style and spirit *finalise as consider-
ably to strengthen the probability of Sir Philip and Junius being
one and the same person. The letter is extracted from the" Life
and Correspondence of Major Cartwright," just published—
" Duo Sio—My resolution, on the subject of your kind letter
received yesterday was founded on experience, and taken with de-
liberation. I cannot alter it. You are the only person to whom it
would be unbecoming in me to say, that I am not young enough to
embark again in what I believe to be a hopeless enterprise. I
doubt the actual existence of an English Public for any treat
National purpose; and if It exists. I am not its debtor. As far
as I can judge, the mass of the English population is inert. The
country has lost its passions, and is not Si for action. This gene,'
opinion is open to ussptions, and you us one of them.
FRANCIS." a Aril 2, 1211." "
