meeting of British residents held in the Court House.
10 express their sentiments and their Indignation
wards the Yankees for their lbustering propensies
The meeting was not very enthusiastic; in fact il
not for the active part which two cergymcn took IT, il
might be called stupid. But the Reverend Dr. Evans got
up, and long and rather polemica speech denounced
the action of the Americans in taking possession of the
ISLAND in which he characterized them being graspng
and nsatate IN their desires for the acquisition Of
ritory Taken as whole, his speech most exraordj
nary, AS coming from minister of the Gospel AS
he sat down. the Rev Mr. Clarke who arrived here only
speech nveighed against the occupation Of the island by
the american troops He particularly Gen.
Harvey, whom he stigmaized man ''wantng in self
respect and in respect to Gov Douglass and abused him
| in round terms-calling him some hard names. But
neither of the gentlemen could enlghten the meeting
whether the island belonged TO England the United
States. They were, however, loudly applauded and
they came there seeking noorety they certainly obtained
1t to their hearts content
After the foregoing speeches made the Secretary
of the meeting read long memorial addressed to the
Queen and Privy Council setting forth their attachment
and loyalty 10 the Crown their grievances the furtve
occupation of the island by the American troops
requesting their immediate attention the settlement Of
the matter in dispute The memorial has been signed by
all the British residents, and goes forward England by
the Forward to-day.
