in days from Nassau. p we have
received our files Of the Royal Gazette
to the 26th ult inclusive. 1t is stated
in paper of the las date shat com
mit,ee, at a public meeting at Turks
Island, was appointed to draw up a
memorial to His Majesty, praying that
Turks-Island may be separated from
the Bahama Government" Their
priey ances are said to be the export
duty of one penny per bushel on Salt.
"Perhaps, (says the Royal Gazette from
the circumstance of their having two
additional members granted, to repre-.
sent them in the House Of Assembl. OF
the Colony, they may entertain an idea
that Go, eminent would have no o.
lection to constitute those Islands
separate colony; bat We cannot think
them capable Of such vanity, or that
they have desire to be attached TO any
other State; not even to the great con-
sumers of their staple, although it is
said the rich men among them fund
their money in the United States, in
preference to any other country"
The papers are nearly destitute OF
news, and principally filled with pro-
ceedings of the House OF Assembly.
