eau rccen.iy wrestling II from ITS purpose.
Your House does not yet seem TO COM
prehend that the Proceedings here, during the
WHOLE or any par, of the period 10 which il
refers, call have no control over the Records
and Proceedings of the Mother Country, or
the decisions from the Throne--and from
winch Earl Bathurst states what must again
repeat" that the Act of 1742 has not been
confirmed, nor that of 1880 repealed; and that
the Act Of 1920 is still the law of the Island
for the levy OF Powder Duty"
In your last Message to me, Of the Cd of
May, you SPEAK oi extraordinary language
To your House indeed this reverts, and be-
comes most applicabe-whcn. in language
truly uncouth, but not TO he misunderstood,
you presume TO tell our gracious Sovereign,
That he has selected 4 man rs his representa-
i've, whom you have been pleased to decide to
be wholly unfit for such IA charge. Your o.
pinon was never asked, nor would in any case
be called for. Your House is both de jure and
de .tacto, totally unequal and incompetent to
such Il decision
You have la,shed on your Governor, the
Representative of your King, The grossest re-
proacii-the basest cOntumely. You have
brought Charges against him, as absurd as
they are false, rnischiey Gus, and injurious mot
to l'lm,) bat to the peace and well being of the
Community at large-and YOU then affect as
constituent, that he should speak, even in gem
eral terms, OF Faction and a Factous Spirit in
! the Colony.
Blinded By error, or some more dreadful
iniatnation, you have finally, in direct terms,
refused TO do your duty. You are proceeding
at your own peril, and are collectively and in
difiduaiiy responsible To your God, Your King
and your Country, for ali the evils YOU NAV
have entaiied upon the Country.

ST. THoMAs, July ist, 1891.
! We have received intelligence OF LA Guira
and the City of Caracas having been again
captured by the Patriot Corps under General
Bcrm,dez A number of arnigrants arrived
here from La Guira on the 28tn ut. in the
English schr. Waterloo, who report that place
10 nave becn evacuated, and at the time this
vessel sailed, not forty persons were left in it,
From the ST. Thomas Times, of June 90,
l8el, received at the Steam Boat Hotel Read
ing-ftoon yesterday, per schr. Franklin, capt
Barlow, we make the following extracts:
ST. Thomas, June 29.-The fast smiling
schr. Waterloo arrived here on Tuesday last
from La GtIayra, in the extraordinary quick
passage of four days, bringing over several
emigrants, from whom we learn that accounts
had been received there of the advance of the
| independent troops under the command Of
Gen. BermudeZ, and their occupation of the
suburbs of Caracas, while mt the same time,
the Royallsts were in the city. Such being
the posture of affairs up TO the latest advices it
was therefore concluded that the former had
entered the Capital, and that the Kings troops
mad retreatcd Into the interior In consequence
Oh these events, and that of numbers OF the
BLACKS having espOused the cause of the In
dependents, the Commapdant OF La Guayra
came TO the resolution of evacuating it, which
was accordingly done on Friday last, when not
single individual was permitted to remain
behind. The garrison and inhabitants having
been received on board the vessels in the har-
Dor, the whole got under weigh, and with the
exception OF. the Waterloo and three vessels
bound to Curacoa,l proceeded to Puerto Ca
oelio under convoy of Spanish frgate
We have been put i'm possession of Bulletins
No. l, Q and ofthe independent Army OF
Operations before Coro, previous to its cap
ture, and should they contain any particulars
OF that event with which our readers have not
already been made acquainted, we will give
the translation Oftheir contents in our next.
by an article under the Curacoa head, our
readers will perceive that a general engage
ment was on the eve of taking place between
the main armies of the contending parties on
the Main that such has taken place we have
no advices, but ere this it is highly probable
that a battle has been fought.

CURACoA, June 16.-The bulletin No s of
the independent army of operations against
Coro, which was taken on the lth Nav, with
out any loss by the Independents, states, that
Lieutenant Col. fehauspe, who had fled to the
interior, returned with his division of $50 men
to embrace the cause of Columbia
The following articles were found in the city
at the time of its capture $50 muskets, $50
lances, 10000 musket cartridges, 5000 mus
kct balls, 1873 gun cartridges OF and 8 potm-
ders, 335 fnts, 90 pieces Of cannon ofvarious
sizes, do. at La VcIa, and 900 military suits
The arrivals during the week from Puerto
Cabeilo bring accounts from thence TO the eth
inst. II appears that General Morales arrived
at Valencia from Caracas, on the evening of
Sunday last, accompanied by the regiment from
BurSos and the Cavalry with which he entered
Caracas. The Columbian forces had advan-
ccd as far as San Carlos, where, it is stated,
Bolivar and PACE had formed Il junction. No
general engagement had taken place up to the
date Of the last advices, hut the Spaniards
were concentrating all their forces, and the let
tiers add an action was momcntly expected
to take place which probably would decide
the fate of the province"
