Without the aid of Pruss a this could be easily Ric ere Austria to do this, she would —to the friends of freedom ell over the earth. Austria hes only to cross her Transylvanian frontier, and she cutsol Russia, from the base of her operations end the supplies and reinforcements, which the Russian armies can only obtain by land, because the allied fleets prevent ell com- munication between the Russian ports on the Black Sea end the Russian armies along the Danube. 'l‘his decisive step on the rt of Austria would break the chain of tutea in which she has of late years been boun to Russia. It is of the utmost importance to Austria that her great river, the Danube, should not remain in Russian hands. But it may be enquired, whether Austria could safely act with such decision ;—could she venture to send more than a hundred thousand men to the field of combat, when Hungary and Lombardy are ripe for rebellion, and eager for the moment when vengeance shall be consummated upon their 0 rcssors for the atrocities of Haynau and Jo - achich, the treason of Geor , the violation of ancient constitutions, and t e cold-bloode cruclties which Austrian minions have perpe- trated under the reign of nierti lawl Let the young descendant of Rodolph, that wears the crown of St. Ste hen of Hungary, give back to the gallant Maygars their venera- ble Constitution ;—let him throw himself upon the pie, and rule for them, and not for the niig ty Spoiler of the North,—and the sons of the men, who, against mighty odds. swore fealty and devotion to the brave-hearted Maria Theresa, will rally around the standard of the House of I-Iapsburg, and burn with martial ardor to meet the brutal legions that trampled down the honor of Hangar in the dust. Let the Emperor of Austria re ax his iron rule in Loinbardy,—let him rmit the glorious coun- try that is being su cated beneath Austrian despotism to breathe frecly,——to regain a mode- rate share of freedom,-—to re in the right to s k, to read and to hope ;— et him do this, and "I0 Loullllsdn will even the Augt]-ign 1-gnkg as teful volunteers. at it is doubtful whether humanity can ox- re from Prussia and Austria than timid neutrality. The heroic agp passed away from the Houses of his a urg and Brandon- burg,—rcspect for the li erties of men never characterized those dynasties. Despotisms in data , like that of Austria, are blind in their selfis ness, and cruel as they tweak ; hence, while they are cowards a road, they are doubl tyrants at home. Let, then, Austria and Phussia remain neutral, in our next sup- position: what, in such , ' we reesonabl expect!

EA8ZAllD’S GAZETTE. ‘mm Wednesday, Jane"7..ll-85.47‘ 1 3

We now come to the consideration cfliir Alexan- der Bsuneruisn’s note of the 20th May last. In this most extraordinary and uncalled for document, be en- sures the people of this Island "that in dissolving the House of Aseenibly be exercised ii right which is veited in him," and asserts “that he possesses the power to prorogue, adjourn, and dissolve the House ofAssembly, with or without the advice of his Ex- ecutive Council." This is what is called in logic a pelilio prirrcipii; or, as it is familiarly termed. beg- ging Ihe question, now we plainly tell Sir Alexander lianncrnirin that his assertion is not correct, and that he has no such power under the Queen's commission or instructions; and we have no doubt or misgivings, but that ive shall be able to put the matter fsirly to issue before the competent authorities, rind get a decision in our favour; we thank him, however, for the information "that his removing to another colony will not shelter him from the censure of his sovereign, which he would well merit, he says, if he has dis- obeyed lier Msjesty’sinstructions." &c. Though we could Iiave predicted the same fate, were it not that we suspect strongly. that his banishment lo the Send- kevs of the Bahamas has been for the purpose of put- ling him out of the reach of further mischief. Be- sides. wlist generous or lilicml mind would exalt in the puuislin-enl ofs criminal. All the censure in the world, even bud Sir Alexander's mind been ca- pable of being affected by it, would not repair the evil be has alrenriy committed, and the blow given to the constitutional liberties nfllie people oflhis Island. ll is not, however, willi the person of Sir Alexnnder Biinncrninn, that we have In do, nor do we case who! becomes of him nfler be quite our shores. but F I’ ‘ . ‘I I ‘ I. |lILlII." we nre compelled Io follow up our review of his im- conxtitulionsl conduct as l.ieuIemint Governor and expose ihe ignorance, f'.ilsclior-d, rind fallacies Illa; clisrncierize it. It is said in the fourth pnrngrupli, that “what is usually termed lioesponsible Govern- uncut, has no legal dqfinifiori. What does the wri- ter mean, or did he know wliul lie nicmil wlicn lie inuile use ofllic words whicli we here put into iln- lini.’ But be, Sir Alexander, line given u definition. which is notn lcgnl dcliuiliombut which will do for all practical purposes, and which has been, he is glad to soy, approved of by high uullioriiice. 'l‘he following is Sir Alexander's definition, rit least ilie only thing at all resembling it that we can fiiiil in the closing speech of l85l; and we must say that, however high in riuiliority those were, who approved ,of it as a iicfmiliou of Responsible Governnienl, they must have licuii deplcrsbly low in intellect; a coincidence, lioivcver, by no means an- frequciit in those inlrusled with the mnnageiiieul of public affairs.

“ 'l‘hc passing of the Bill, liowevcr, enabled me to introduce what has long been sought for in ibis colony, a change in the system of its government. It will be sufficient for the people to understand, that this change will give to the persons who possess their confidence ii large share ofilic lixecaiivs l’uwcr,and a proper control over the innnsgemcnt of the local of- fnirs, and expenditures nfllic colony; and when they cease to perform these duties sntisfsciorily to their constituents, opportunities will occur for changing them."

We think, however, that Responsible Government is susceptible of bolli ii legal rind an intelligible definition, and it is simply this : " lllfll the acts of ihe person adiiiinistrating the Government shall be inva- lid; unless they have been first submitted to, and up- proved of, by his Executive Council." This, how- ever, is a definition loo plain and too easy to be un- derslood to please an irresponsible Lieutenant Go- vernor; rind, as such, would be repudiated by Sir Alex- under, who would seem to tliink,Ilint any thing will be sufficient for the people, and that in fact, the lose they understand, Ilie better.

We now come to a part of the note which clearly indicates that Sir Alexander had made up his min to thwart the new ndminiiurntion; and. by every means in his power, to supplant tlie menibeis of ii, if possible, nud lo introduce his own crcslurcs, the lnie ndiuinixirniiou, in their stand. " When the nlixinge of Goveriiiiicnl occurrod,,_in February liisl, the Liout Governor forexnw,—qu., forclcld—lluit if ilie new adiiiininlrnlion pr-ruevsred in following out their plan of excluding salaried or departmental officers from seats in the Legislslurc (a principle adopted in" the United~BIiites.) it would prove an element of discord, and produce a collision wilh Ihe iwo branches of the Legislature." Now, in the first place, the question of Departmental Govern- ment, and its adaptation io the peculiar circumstan- ces oflhis colony, has been for the last three years mooted in every possible form.—-on the floor of the Assembly, in the public newspapers, before meetings ofilie Electors, and en the hueiings. It was a pony question freely rind l'nirly_canvsssed ; and the House, oflB5.'i was elected for the very purpose ofcsrryingont the decision which had been pronounced by the people themselves, which wss,—llintit was inexpe- dient that the public ssleiied servants should be members of ihe l.cgislature-s principle adopted in the United States, and Sir Alexrinder ought to have added, by the Parliament of Canada, and one which ought to be adopted by every Colonial Legislruurs throughout the extent of the llritish Dorninions. And what, we would ask, had the Legislative Coun- cil tc do wilh the matter? it did produce a collision, but what then.’ The Bill for the introduction ofa police,
