Tiers, arrived yesterday from Demarara, we
have received the Guinea Chronicle 10 the

thing of Importance. The Governor of The
Colony had issued two proclamations. both
having immediate reference to the slaves in
the Colony-the one expressive os the Kings
regret mt the manifestations of discomfort and
rebellion among the misguided portion of the
negroes-the other apporiionns the usual
period of holiday and merry-making, and

strlciions they shall be celebrated by that class
Of people. RIO.
We have been favoured with the following
extract OF letter dated
ALvARADO, Dec. 81, 1898
The Castle of ST. Juan de Ulua,, las we
are informed by persons who visited it three
days since) is in very de plorable state
Much injured by the fire from Vera Cruz,
and detection, if not disaliection, is visible in
the countenances Of both officers and men,
amongst whom are many sick and wounded.
The Spanish fleet of vessels of war, which had
been several weeks idle about the Castle. sailed
three days since, supposed for Havana They
lett, no doubt, some provisions, and took away
considerable property from the Castle
W. hear nothing further of the second expe-
ditiOn which it was said Morales would con-
duct this way.
The Governor of the castle was required
or requested, not TO fire upon the city, during
the stay of the English Commissioners, to
which he assented. The captain of frigate
accompanies the mission as far as Xalapa-
The Thets was to sail soon Tor England and
the fhebe was very soon expected.

ALBANY, January 16.-The Republican
Caucus, held in the Assembly Chamber ON
tuesday evening, was one of the most hume
r"ns ever Witnessed at our capitol. One hun
dred and eleven members ofbOth houses al
tended, and answered To their names. Tie
meeting was called TO order by Mr.. Goodell
speaker of the assembly and on his motion,
the hon. Eras'us Root, lieutenant governor,
was called to the chair, and James Mullett
Esq. OF the assembly was appointed secretary.
MIR. Bswne stated, that although the object
OF The meeting was known to be for the pur-
pose ofexpressing the opinions of members
upon the subject of "A congressional caucus,
yet he requested more definite explanation
OFF from the chair.
The lieutenant governor then rose and adj
dressed the meeting in "A most able and DOW
erful speech of about half an'huur He sketch
ed Il bold outline OF the history and progress
| OF the two great parties which have hitherto
prevailed among US; and the consequent ORR
gun and necessary adoption OF the caucus sys-
tenn. He appealed to the series of successes
which IL had enabled the democratic party 10
achieve ; tn the distinguished men who had
sanctioned it, and who, through it, had been
enabled to give energy and character to that
party and to the strong reasons which de-
manded the application oft at this time. We
regret that 1t is not in our power to give any
part OF the speech at this time, nor hereafter
so literal "A report of il as the subject and the
maner of it merit.
On motion of Mr.. EARL, committee of nine
members was appointed by the chair, for the
purpose OF drafting resolutions favourable to
the nomination of candidates for president
and vice president of the u. S. by caucus of
me republican members of congress. MessIs.
Goodell, speaker of the house, Sudan, Ward
aud Reyes, of the senate, FIagg, Hyatt, King,
Edwards and Allen, of the assembly, were
| appointed the committees
A motion was then made by Mr. Burt, Sc
conded by MIR. Earll that the meeting adjourn
uutll Friday epening, at 7 O'Clock, which was
unanimously carried.
We have room only TO add in conclusion,
that ameng the republican members of both
branches of the legislature, we do not know
an exception to the sentiment which pervades
the republican party every where in our state,
In favor of a congressional nomination.
| BY the sketches which we give in another
page, of the debate in the Senate on the Ten
nessee resolutions, our republican friends will
discover, with pleasure, that the resolutions
as reported by the select committee, with
brief amendment, have passed that body, by
vote of IL to 6. With the exception of two of
the gentlemen who voted in the negative, we
believe that all the members of the Senate
were the decided advocates of caucus. The
difference was NOT an opposition tn the prnci-
pie of the resolutions but TO the inexpediency
of passing upon them in legislative capacity.
