The Bermuda Gazette of the 6th May, contains the proclamation of the Governor, proroguing the Colonial Parliament. His Excellency, after congratulating the Legifldture on the paflage of a quarantine bill, alludes to the rejection of the fupply bill, and oblerves : 44 As long as that lamentable difpofuion of introducing objectionable claufes, continues to prevail—claufes highly injurious to the colony itfelf, to its bell and m«»ll promifing commercial profpefts, and absolutely illegal ; in as much as directly taxing articles of neceffity> des¬ tined for the confumption of our lifter colonies, and militating againit the inten¬ tions and enaftments of the Mother Cointry —without any julliliable reafon, or any real or probable beneficial efteds refuUing therefrom. Nor can it be admitted, when fupply bills fo repeatedly fail, that one branch of the Lcgiflature can always be tigfatj and the other two as invariably To the Editor of the Free Prrfs, (A Halifax Paper.) Sir, Enclofed I fend you a copy of the Governor's letter to the Speaker of the Houfe of Affembly, declining his accept¬ ance of the Sword and Star, voted hie Excellency laft fefiion. As the freehold¬ ers throughout the Province are about to eleft Reprefentatives, it may be as well for them to knoyy, ere they make their choice, the opinion of the worthy Noble¬ man whoprefidea over us, refpe&ing the meafures purfued by the late members. . A SUBSCRIBER. Government Houfe% ivh April) 1820. Sir, 1 Exceedingly regret theunufual hurry, from unexpe&ed circumflances, which led to the fudden prorogation of the Affembly* and to the communication I have now to make tovou, in confequer.ee of the .pro¬ ceedings of the laft lefiion. My attention, finer I prorogued the Affembly, has been dire&ed to the more deliberate confidera- tion of the progrefs and rcfult of thefe proceedings. Having refled confident of the fame fupport which till now I had received, it was with great furprife and mortification I obferved, in the firll place*, that one part of the leading meafures which I fubmitted to the Houfe, has been altogether paffed over: I mean the furvey of the Province. In the next place, that' the allowance granted laft year for the infpe&ion of the Militia, this year included as part of the civil ltft,cspenfe, has been entirely omitted* And, in the third place, that the Houfe calling afide all the long eftablilhed forms of rctiM'Wng anfwers to the fpecial mefTages of the Executive Government, had Ihown a dis- pofittoo todifregard the prerogative, tights, and the refpeft due to that firft branch of the Provincial Legiflature, Without going into any enquiry, and without any delay of time, I feel it my duty to exprefs, through you, to thia Houfe, while it yet exifts, that fuch con¬ duct cannot reft unnoticed, although it may be guarded againft in future. But the chief motive which now ptefTes me to» addrefs this letter to you, before the diV folutionof the General Affembly, arifes out of the Addrefs of the Houfe. which was prefented to me by the Speaker and the members in a body.—That Addtefe conveyed to me a mod gratifying ex* preifion of my condud, an:* a requcit of my acceptance of a moft magnificent teftimonial of regard. I eould have nt> hefitation in thanking the Houfe of Aa* fembly for that honour, and promifed to folicit the gracious permifliou of my Sovereign to receive tbc tcttimonial therein defer ibed ; but whea I fi'id the leading meafures of my admifliftratioo rejected
