respecting the present state of your Island, in respect to the

. days ago a copy ofthc printed documents sent to England, and ygslci'day saivl him, to ascertain whether he could- adopt any measures to quiet possessions in your Island, and'pntsn end to the discontent which has so long existed.- ”I'rtrgetl the absolute necessity ofthe Government l.il8|‘fefln’l between the two parties, and pointed out the occupiers who had expended time and labour to improve the lands. as best entitled ‘0 line, favourable consideration of his Lordship ; but I asked for finesse long delayed.

J“ Lo Stanley asked me what course I would take with a. probable

chance of succeeding, as my interference, without the power ol enforcing a settlement, would only aggravate the existing differ- ences—he slated ihat a recommendation had been made by the Colonial Office for a settlement, but it had been scouted by the House ofAssembly.

I suggested the appointment of a Commissioner, who would on the spot inqmre and decide what should be done; but he observed that unless both parties would agree to that reference, it would be useles. . .

Your Petition of the 24th April, 1811, does not point out the

of tile House of Assembly of the 25th April, 1810, point out an .evil,,whicb, under Lord John Russell’s own doctrine, in his Despatch to the GOveriior General of Canada, ought ere this to have been removed. The constitution of the Executive Govern- ment has in almost all the Colonies b’ccn the chief cause of all the troubles that have arisen from time io iime, and if Lord John Russell had followed Lord Durham’s adviCe, you might have had relief etc this to your difficulties. .
