TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 21, 1836.

We have received Jamaica papers to the 10th May.—
Lord SLIGO has once more determined to meet the House
of Assembly, a proclamation to which effect had been
issued. The following is from the Kingston Chronicle
of the 9th ultimo :
"
His Excellency the Governor has called the Assembly to
meet on the 24th inst. for the despatch of public business, when
some suppose his placable lordship will make the amende hono-
rable for the injury and in-convenience the island has sustained
by the late prorogation. Whilst others, his lordship's friends
and supporters, seem to think he must inevitably resign the
administration of the colony into the hands of the Lieutenant
Governor, as they consider it impossible for his lordship to meet
the House, and apologize for his conduct, after his repeated
asseverations that he would not do so, and after having written
to the Colonial office, that unless he was permitted to dissolve
the house, he would abdicate, and a successor must be named."

The Romulus which arrived here yesterday from Sa-
vanah, brought letters from that place to the 22d May.
We are indebted to a mercantile house of great respect-
abily for the perusal of one of their letters, from which
we take the following extract :

" Savannah, May 21, 1836.

" I Wrote you, per the Oxford. giving you my views in refer-
ence to our Indian relations, since which time we have ac-
counts of a general out-breaking among the Indians in Georgia
and Alabama. It is a war of extermination ; they have mas-
sacred 100 inhabitants and taken two steam boats on the Cha-
tatruchy, (qy.) and massacred all on board. Thousands of
the inhabitants of Alabama with their slaves are come into the
settlement of Georgia, and they are now in possession of in-
formation that the Choctaw, and many other tribes are getting
into a state of disturbance on the borders of the Mississippi, anti
Louisiana and Florida is now in the possession of the Indians.
You may say with propriety, as regards our next crop, that
some think 200,000, but with safety you may put it down
150,000, will be short; and if the Indians on our western fron-
tier break out, 300,000 will be a short estimate. Georgia, Ala-
barna' and Florida, alone, 150,000."

At the period of the reform mania when,the whigs, to
serve their own factious and venal purposes, were re-
versing the rules of society, by placing, the pedestal
where the capital should be on the pillars of the state,
and striving to, make the feet think instead of the head,
they were frequently reminded that they were promoting
revolution and sacrificing to mob fury and popular in-
justice the rights of property.
Lord BROtTGHA7H.S reply to this. was (for he was then
the champion of the whigs) that the fear of revolution
was purely chimerical, that the .object of reform was to
improve not destroy, and that property of every kind
would not only be respected but would receive additional
value in consequence of its increased security. The no-
ble and learned lord, in illustration of the soundness of
these views, used frequently to boast that some of the
wealthiest men in England were radical reformers. "Do
you imagine," said the then LORD CHANCELLOR, " that
such men as Mr. LEWIS LLOYD, Mr. GROTE, Mr. PATTI-
SON, and other affluent bankers, would for a single mo-
ment encourage any reform that would endanger public
credit or deteriorate the security of property ? " Of
course the response of every soft-headed reformer of the
conservative or whig class was, " No, no, it is impossible
—we must be safe when such bankers feel no alarm ! "

Our reply to the specious sophistry of Lord BROUGITAM•
and the compheeney of the soft-heads was this. Look
at France, and see who were some of the philosophers
who fanned into a flame the first revolutionary sparks in
Paris, bowed down before the Goddess of Reason, saw'
property devastated on all sides, saw the scaffold at its:
sanguinary work by clay and night, the prisons full 0f
victims, and the streets flowing with blood ? They were
the wealthy bankers of Paris. These were the men who
had no
.fears for the result ; who did not dread the shod:-
upon public credit ; who being wise as well as wealthy
in their generation looked calmly on, feeling well assure)
of a favourable and happy issue, thereby setting an es--
ample to others, deepening the abyss of misery, and ang'
meriting the numbers of those who fell into the snare t('
be plundered, if not both plundered and assassinated.
We shall not here molest the ashes of the many afiln
ent men who fell victims to the French revolution, but
shall confine ourselves to one banker only—once
wealthy banker—whose name must be familiar to all nor
readers. We allude to M. LAFITTE. This gentleman,
when he was in the zenith of, his popularity, was, af'. 3
banker, the LEWIS LLOYD of Paris. He was a thousana
degrees above the Gnoms or TOM ATTWOOIJS, or any
other pot or kettle of the Brtmtagem school. LAW°
was the very soul of his party. lie was Lord Jon:: Rier S"
SELL, JOSEPH HUME, SPRING BICE, WARBURTON, aue,
Dr. BOWRING all in one. He waded through the gor6
of the first convulsion with something like miraculoo'
safety. He was one of those who also took a leading
part in the second revolution, which placed Louts Plll.l
LIPI'E upon the throne, and proclaimed the new monarell:`,
to be the best of all possible republics. He subsequent)}
became a minister of the crown ; he has .since their beer'
a bankrupt !
We do not infer from this that, because M. LArcrfli.
of Paris has bean ruined by the political cunvulsions °
France, a similar fate awaits the LLOYDS, ATTW°()9S:
and GtzoTEs of England. Thank God ! revolution 113:0
not marched over us with such awful strides. Lsnel't
Ireland, no vial of political wrath, tinged with blood, ,
yet been discharged. The church, though assailed, 6t%,
stands firm upon the rock of ages, and can only he eils
posed to the fate of the unprotected when her. 9°
become reprobate and her guardians dishonest.tg
crown retains its constitutional lustre—the sceptre
legitimate power—both ate enshrined in the hearts
.°oot,
brave nation. All this is consolatory ; but are tiWrl-
other indications which, like clouds in the Il°l.litbin
foretel a storm ? If in a neighbouring nation, the
our own day, we have seen the rich and the pnPular:d to
envied of princes and the extolled of the Mob, redutc,: bad
humble circumstances, disgusted with the chain:''"

calamities he had brought upon himself and his cot
should we be surprised if similar events were to baeVrtilt,
in England, if the rich of to day were to
paupers of to-morrow, and this t
