     In reply to the charge of having acted illegally and 
     
     unconstitutionully in dissolving the old Board of Fire- 
     
     rvardens and appointing a new one, the Executive 
     
     tlrrnugli its organ The Royal Gazelle, aided by the .1111- 
     
     rci-lt'zer——tho former evowedly conducted by one mem- 
     
     ber of the Adnririistrution, and the latter said to be 
     
     under the control of another--pleads that “ It became 
     
     the duty ofthe Executive to put in force the Act ofthe 
     
     Legislature for the removal of the Post Ollice to the 
     
     Old Court House," that “ This required that the Fire 
     
     Errgincs should be removed from the latter place," that 
     
     “ The Firowardetis were directed by the Executive to 
     
     clfect their removal,” that “they either evaded the 
     
     dir-cction or declined to attend to it,” that “ their cori- 
     
     duct was contumaciorts.” and that the Executive were 
     
     compelled to “ adopt the only alternative left them, and 
     
     disrniss the refractory Board.” Now we admit it to be 
     
     truc, that it was the duty of the Executive to see that 
     
     the Act for the removal of the Post Oliice was to ht‘, 
     
     like all other Acts of the Legislature, legally and con- 
     
     stitutionally carried into efl'ect; and we further udtnit, 
     
     that it was required that the Fire Engines should be 
     
     rflmfwcd. And we are so far from denying, that the 
     
     l“it‘eWarrlens were directed by the Executive to cheer 
     
    
   
   
    
     by one of its own body, that such was the case. And 
     
     we further admit, that the Firewardens declined to 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     their removal, that we rejoice to see it acknowledged‘ 
     
    
   
   
    
     of the acid building, which is hercinbefove set apart for 
     
     the Post Oflice,) and to place the Fire Engines in such 
     
     rooat, and to continue in the occupation thereof for the 
     
     purpose aforesaid." 
     
    

    
     It is evident, from the language of this Statute 
     
     (whether its frnrucrs meant that it should so speak, may 
     
     be matter of doubt , that the Fire Engines were not to 
     
     be removed from t e place in which it is stated_ in the 
     
     Act the then were, until a new place for their recep- 
     
     tion hit been prepared at the back wing on the North 
     
     side of the building. Now we will fairly admit, that in 
     
     legal parlance, the words “it shall be lawful for the 
     
     Firewui-dens to build, &c.,” ma mean that the Fire- 
     
     wardens shall build an additions rootn, &c.; and it is 
     
     possible that they were ordered to erect such additional 
     
     room in the terms of the Act. \’Ve do not think that 
     
     they were, but whether they were so ordered or not, 
     
     they also--we have it from good authority-—reapectfully 
     
     submitted that they had no funds : Now this, as it was 
     
     unquestionubl true, and ought to have been and was 
     
     known to the Executive, was it good and aullicient au- 
     
     swer, and cannot be held to be in the least degree con- 
     
     tutnncious. VVhen the Israelites were ordered by 
     
     Pharoah to make bricks without straw, it was then 
     
     considered uttd has been ever since it tyrannical and 
     
     unjust command, and though the Executive lurs strewn, 
     
     that it can be very peremptory in its commands, we 
     
     hardly think, that it would seriously insist upon the Fire- 
     
     wardcns building the Engine House at their own ex- 
     
     pense, out ofthcir own proper funds. It was then an - 
     
     . estc-d—as we have been informed—that the sense oft: 
     
     Town Meetin should be taken upon the subject, but 
     
     the Board of ‘irewcrdone, at least that part of it en- 
     
     dowed with common acme, well knew that the attempt 
     
     would be bootless. The Town had been applied to be-, 
     
     fore and ltad voted money for this very purpose which 
     
     had been expended in fitting up the old Council 
     
     Chamber, and they would have then, as they will 
     
     lrcrcaftcr, iftt proposition at once so silly and insulting 
     
     is made to tlictn, reply “If the Govenunent are bent

     Since our last the wentlier has undergone considerable change, 
     
     and during the past week we have had a quantity of rain with 
     
     cold nights atid frosty mornings, which in smite tin-tisure have re- 
     
     tsrded the progress of the harvest. Still we have not heard of any 
     
     complaints, the greater part of the wheat crop. 6tc., having been 
     
     carried, and in good condition, and should litre weather continue 
     
     for it few days, the whole crop will have been secured. So f:tr as 
     
     it has been tested, the wheat crop is not only ahtrndant but of first- 
     
     rato quality. “We have it frortt rriillers, tltrotrglt wltoso hands 
     
     quantities oftlm new crop have aimed, that the wt-igltt varies frotrt 
     
     eighteen stone to cighteen and ti talf. and some aatttples may ever) 
     
     cxceed these weights. llnt, taking the crop at eighteen stone (III 
     
     the average. there is ample reason to be satisfied. especially when 
     
     tho light weights of last year are fresh in our recollt-ction. True, 
     
     rnuelt of the wheat crop, is still ubro.td in the northern parts of 
     
     the kingdom, which, in the present unsettled slate of the weather. 
     
     is rendered sotnewliat precarious. There is, however, no ground 
     
     for tlcspondency, as it is not yet late in the season; nor has the 
     
     rain that has fallen done. as yet, any tnaterial injury. A week of 
     
     fine weutlicr would set every thing to rights, and dissipate every 
     
     fear that has been engendered by the slioit interruption that has

     a proper place having been provided for them, the 
     
     Captains of the Engines consented to remove them. 
     
     Now wltv was not this plain obvious course adopted at 
     
     first ? Because the whole of the Administration, from 
     
     George Coles to Edward Whelan. are totally and on- 
     
     tirely ignorant of the manner in which the duties their 
     
     high and responsible position has entailed upon them, 
     
     should be performed. Because, determined to carry 
     
     a favorite measure into efl'ect, they were careless and 
     
     indifferent as to the means bv which their purpose was 
     
     accomplished ; legally or illegally, it mattered riot.

     paring an estimate of such stints as they may consider‘ 
     
    
   
   
    
     that the money voted by such meeting shall be paid? 
     
    
   
   
    
     without such express command would be u glaring otit- 
     
     ragc on law, justice and order. All that the Executive 
     
     could do was to direct the Fircwardons to proceed with 
     
     the erection of the building. On being informed that 
     
     the Board was without funds, it should have sup lied 
     
     those funds, or it should have allowed the Act to linvc 
     
     remained in abeyance until the next session, when they 
     
     could have applied for and obtained the necessary sum 
     
     of money without committing an Act of injustice to the 
     
     Town. VVe have, we tltink, fully redeemed our 
     
     pledge. “'e have shctvn—First, that the Executive 
     
     had no right to order the Engines to be rcmoved—‘.2dly, 
     
     that il'they had such ri_-gltt, the order for removal should 
     
     have been addressed to the Captains of the Fire Ea- 
     
     gine Companies and not to the Board of Firewiirdens— 
     
     3dly, that the Fircwurdens were not in ii. condition to 
     
     obey the only order that the Executive was empowered 
     
     by law to make, rind that, therefore, the neglect or the 
     
     reftiszil to perform what was so required of them was 
     
     not contutnucious, and that, therefore, the dissolving 
     
     the old Board and appointing a new one was illegal, 
     
     trucallcd for, unconstitutional, unjust, tyrranical and 
     
     oppressive. Q. E. D.

     trines respecting Prerogative, as advocated, not by M1. 
     
     Chitty but by the respective Editors of the Royal Gazette 
     
     and ./1dr-ct-riser, anti prove that their knowledge is as 
     
     limited in this respect as it is in all others. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Euttorit arrived with the English Mail at Halifax on the 
     
     Evening of the ttith inst., by which we have dates front Liverpool 
     
     to the 6th Sept, by the Rose on Thursday last. 
     
    
   
   
    
     lllr. Geo. llaszsrd. who arrived home to-day from New York 
     
     cia Shedisc. reports that on Friday night, a ver destructive lire oc- 
     
     curred at Portland, adjoining the city of St. Jo n, N. 8., about 40 
     
     houses were destroyed, and it was said H00 poor persons were 
     
     rendered houseless. 
     
    

    
     'l'he Scltr. Caroline from hence, arrived on the 15th inst. at 
     
     Boston. 
     
    

    
     From pauertgcrs Intel arrived from United States, we lesrn,that 
     
     the woods in the State o Maine have been very much devastated by 
     
     Fire, and several large Mills have been dcstro ed. The lie. of 
     
     Fund was so full of smoke. that it was very ditheult. of navigation. 
     
    
   
   
    
     They trampled the law sticcessfully under foot in the 
     
     cases of Le Lucheur and Whelsn; exercised ti dispen- 
     
     sing power in these cases, and, intoxicated with suc- 
     
     cess, conceived that they could ride rough-shod over 
     
     the Town of Charlottetown, and make the inhabitants 
     
     (us Mr. Coles publicly and emphatically said) “ know 
     
     that he was their master.” But Mr. Colon and his 
     
     Administration will find, that though the inhabitants of 
     
     King's County may be in is state of abject submission 
     
     to their Landlords, those of Charlottetown will acknow- 
     
     ledge no other muster than the Law of the Land; to its 
     
     commands and dictates they will be at all times sub- 
     
     missive and obedientjand where its sanction is wanting 
     
     they will treat with scorn, contempt, and ridicule; any 
     
     attempts to coerce them. It is a curious fact, that in 
     
     the whole of the Firewardcns’ Act there is not the 
     
     slightest allusion made to the Fire Engines, except in 
     
     the 29th section, as before alluded to, and in the Fire 
     
     Engine Company Act, though author-itygis given to the 
     
     Fit-ewardens over the Fircinen—Firehook rind Ladder- 
     
     Company—no mention is made of the Fire Engine 
     
     Companies; both Acts are totally silent as respects the 
     
     jurisdiction of the Firewardens over the Fire Engine 
     
     Companies, except by implication--the Fire Engine 
     
     Corn nies being constituted out of the Inhabitants of 
     
     the own, and all Inhabitants being obliged to obey 
     
     the Firevrardens, the are equally under the same obli- 
     
     gatioi_i._ This we t ink u coasts otuiutis in the Act, 
     
     which it would be well to provide against. The next 
     
     time we find the word Fircwardeas put in juxta position 
     
     with Fire Engines is in the famous Act-the pet Jet- 
     
     of Mr. Coles: " Tlis Act to provide for removing the 
     
     Post Odice of Charlottetown into the Old Court House. 
     
     lac." By the lad clause of this Act it is enacted, 
     
     “That it shall be luwfitl for the Fir-ewardeos of Cher 
     
     lottetotvn to build an additional roots to the back‘
