AIAURITIUS.

We have received accounts from Mueitios to the end
of May. Sir Charles Colville. the new Governor ap-
pointed to succeed Sir Loa ry Cole, had arrived out,
and the latter %as only waiting for a ship of war to
convey him to the CA pe of Good Hope. of which colony
he has been made Governor. Sir Lowry Cole had
thought proper to notice the spirited remonstrance of
the inhabitants of Port Louis. in reply to the order
issued after the attack on Sir Hudson Lowe, in which
he threw the reproach of a deliberate outrage on the
whole population. by putting forth an address, which is
annexed, and in which he enters into an explanation of
the motives which induced bionic) act as be did:
.1 TO masstauris IP. elfrOtAlr, slain, GAILLAMIDON, DCLOST, &C.
" Reduit, 11th May, 1841.
" Ostrmisers—The seal with which I have borne testimony to
the loyalty of the inhabitants of this colony, and the anxiety with
which I have endeavoured to promote their true interests, will, I
trust, convince you that it is with sentiments far different from
those with which I lately addressed the public, that I have received,
and now reply to, the address which you presented to me on the
14th instant, from so many highly respectable and independent in-
habitants of Port Louis, containing so direct a disavowal of any
participation in the sentiments which gave rise lb the late unmanly,
inhospitable insult, and (41though I trust confined to few individuals
of respectability) I still fear. premeditated outrage, committed on a
British Meer of rank.

" I ehoold, however, have been lost to a due sense of my &me•
reign'shonour, and been unmindful of that respect which I entertain
for the profession of which I am a member, had I characterized
my sentiments in terms less strong than those contained in the
Government Order of the 7th instant.

" It is true that the individual to whom the Insult was offered
was not in his full uniform ; but it is not kss true that he bore about
him those dieting 'Ming marks of his rank and profirsaloo which
could not be mistaken ; nor can there be any doubt that those who
could point him out as an object of Insult were well acquainted with
the rank he bolds in the British Service !

" When an act so disgraceful lu itself, and which I.trust and con-
fidently hope to be so contrary to the general character of the Colony
was followed by no manifestation of disapproval during a period of
many days which I suffered to elapse for that purpose, I could not
but feel *painful suspicion that the community at large was actuated
by sentiments which it is highly satisfactory to me to find by the
present address you anxiously reprobate and disavow.
" I acknowledge that your professions of regard and respect
which are personal to myself are highly gratifying to me. and for
which I shall ever preserve a lively and grateful recollection. Even
aben under sensations of great disappointment and vexation, I did
not conceal what I felt and shall ever feel, viz. analogs desire for
the future prosperity of Mauritius; and, as the friend and well-
wishes of the colony, I urgently call upon the inhabitants not to
permit private considerations for Individnals to interfere with the
more important duty which they owe to the community at large;
and I have no hesitation in stating, that I should base left the
colony with very painful feelings of regret and disappointment bad
the inhabitants continued silent on a subject where their character
as a people and their dearest interests were so much at stake.
" I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
" Your most obedient bumble servant,
" G. LOWRY COLE,
Governor and Lieutenant-General."

The ptivate letters by the Lisbon Mail mention a
piece of disrespect shown to Don Panto by the omission of the
customary ceremonies upon the anniversary of his Imperial Ma-
sures birth.day, which was on Sunday, the 11th. No salutes
were fired, no flags hoisted—nay, though► the flags are always hoisted
in the public places on Sundays, this custom was omitted on that
day, in order that the rear meaning of the omission might nut be
mistaken. A very different course was adopted two days after-
, wards. on the 14th, the anniversary of the King of Srant's birth-
day, when royal salutes were fired, and the Bags displayed iti the
public places, and on the Portuguese ships la the river.
