The British Traveller of March 4,
contains an article from a Dublin paper
of the lst, which says, eve should not
be supprizedif something Gerry serious
were about to happen. On Thursday
evening there was bali at the castle,
but in consequence ofdespatches recei-
we'd BY the mail of that day, His excel
lency remained closeted TO an advanced
hour the following morning with his late
private secretary, Mr.. Johnston. The
lord lieutenant did not honour the com
pany who were invited with his presence.
Mr. Johnston left the castle, accompain-
ed by an aide-camp, and embarked on
board the packet for England Mr..
plunkett, the attorney general, left yes
terdav for London, some days before
the time previously fixed for his depaf-
ture."

for fourteen years, devoted "all the en-
erges of his soul, and all the resources
OF his capacious mind. 10 the accom-

has Been pronounced TO be the most
ignorant and corrupt body of legisla-

we were mt prepared for SO shameful,
so cruel, and unWise an act as this.
Whatever may be bis political standing
and pretensions, it was believed that all

LATEST FROM BERMUDA.

We have Bermuda Gazettes TO the
third of this month inclusive, received
through the medium of our attentive
and excellent correspondent, MIR. Ly
ford, of Norfolk. BY these it appears
that the Governor, Sir WILLIAM
LuMLEy, who had returned from
England to the great modification and
disappointment OF the Colonlsts, has
completely failed in his expectation of
either conciliating or iDtimidating the
new House Of assembly, The new
members not only manifest feelings
similar to those which governed the
former Assembly, but having drawn
up and unanimously adopted resold
tons, which amount to an impeach-
ment of His Excellency's conduct and
integrity, upon various and important
grounds of accusation, and enunlera-
ting May acts of tyranny and oppres
sion, they conclude by resolving not
to proceed 1eith the public business
until they obtain redress from the Bri-
ti:h government. In message COM
posed in like spirit they cotnnlanica-
ted their resolutions to the Governor,
to which he returned an angry reply,
denying the truth of some OF the char
ges, and as to the others declaring it 10
be "incompatible with the dignity OF
his situation to enter upon explanation. y
The editor of the Bermuda Gazette
then takes up the subject with great
ability, fastening many of the charges
upon Sir William by the production
of documents and facts, shelving, how
ever, that be his faults or delinquencies
what they may, the liberty of the
press reigns triumphant under his ad
ministration. A more bold, or rnorc
able commentary on the conduct and
acts of public officer has seldom APP
pearcd in any country, and it affords
a fresh proof of the spirit which mani
tested itself throughout the British co
lonies. Sending back this gentleman
to Bermuda, under all the circum
Stances. seems to he closely allied t,
the infatuation which marked the Ca
binet of St. James, at the commence
ment of or own struggle with British
domination.

DE WITT CLINTON.-A slip from
the office of the Albany Daily Advert
ser informs us, that one of the most nu-
merous and respectable meetings that
has been held in that city for many years
was held in Albany on Friday evening
last, at which the venerable JOHN TAY-
Ter, late Lieut. Governor, presided, and
General JOHN III. WENDELL acted as
Secretary The object OF the meeting
was to take into consideration the late
removal of DE WITT CLINTON from the
honorary post of Canal Commissioner.
A committee was appointed to tender
the thanks Of the meeting to Mr.. Gin
ton for his services to the state; after
which resolutions were adopted repro
batting the removal of Mr.. c. and appro-
batting the conduct of those who voted
against the measure.

Mr.. C1INToN,-Let it be said to the
honor of this gentleman, let it be engra-
ven as motto on his seal, that the same
Legislative body that deprived the peo-
pie of their electoral sufTrages, deprived
also Dewitt Clinton of the office of pre-
sident OF, the canal commissioners. This
is an honor too proud to be forgotten
it should be preserved in the family of
Clinton to the latest posterity. 1t IS a
monument to his glory more durable
than marble. Dewitt Clinton, it will be
said, has been deprived of his Office
by whom' the inquiry will be made.
The answer will be, by those legislators
who first solemnly pledged their faith
and honor, to restore to the people their
electoral rights, and then with all pos
sible solemnty violated their engage
ment Had Mr.. Clinton received the
thanks of such body in requital for his
services, he should have Immediately
returned their communica unopen-
ed. To him was reserved prouder
triumph, the Intellectual hate of mean
minds.-They could take away nothing
salary he received none. These poor
creatures who received the benefit OF
his labors, made all the requital IN their
power, and that was, an abortive at
tempt to sting the hand Of their bene-
factor
