to my promise? For my part can affirm, with all
security, that never forsook, with deliberate in
tention, that promise
said to you, in that circumstance, when support
ing the noble desires Of the government of her Ma
jesty, promoted all that aimed at the improve
ment of the administration, and the increase OF pros
pcrity in the island. flater myself to have worked

mcrited, hope that you will appreciate my cxcr-
part with you with profound sentiment; for

nit me to recommend you to continue and increas 80
the firm and sincere union which must always exist
amongst you; for you could compromise, by your
division alone, seriously the peace which you enjoy
now. And you must not forget that from peace and
the submission to the government of her Majesty,
