Legielotioe Council; Mr. Speaker. and Gentlemen of the Home of Ae- eeinbly;

I obeerve, with much regret. that no provieioii bae been made for the oetabliohmont of a Police force. ouch e monanre you are aware wee eteted by Hie Grace the Duke of Newcaatle to be " ii preliminary indiepoueible towerde any reconeideration of the docieion of Her Mejeety'e Government in reference to the withdrawal of the troopo from thie Colony.” I End by your joernale, that a Bill to eetahlieh euch a Force in Charlottetown had paoeed the Helen of Aeoenibly, bet it hoe not, it eeeme, met with the eanction of both licence of the Legielatnre.

Should the Treope be withdrawn, I will look with confidence to the people of thin lelend, on any emer- gency tbat may ar'iae, until oomo provieicn be made for each a Police, or other force. an a Colony with no large a Population. ought elweye to pooooeo.

Although for diotent from the 'oeat of that war which our Sovereign hoe been reluctantly forced into, I one care that you end her loyal eabjocte in Prince filwerd Inland are convinced of lho juoteooe of the ceeoe in which Her Majooty in emberlied, end de- egetty hope, that, under Divine Providence, her feroeo, both by ooa end land. may meet with trium- phant enoceee. I have now only to relieve you from your Parliamentary detioo. with my boot wielieo for your individual prcopority in your verioue avocatione.

The abaonce of any euch cleuee, and the genorelily of tho worde that the Act in to come into force " at any election heronfler to be held fore Member or Mombcra to eorvo in General Aeeombly," are con- clueivo that it wee not the intention of the Logiolaturo to interfere with any Houeo that might be in oxiet- once when the Royal neeent wee given to the Act, further then no vecnncieo might eriee from the verioue contingonciee contemplated in the Act II Vic., cap. 31, of which thie Act ie expreeoly declared to be merely an amendment. leiiving the unrepcaled provi- eiono of the Act ll Vie., cap. 21, in full force end otI'oct,—ono of which unropealed provieione limita the oxietence of the Houeo to four yeere from the teoto of the writ of election.
