and for certain causes and considerations, us to this especially moving, we have thought fit to Prorogue our said Assembly, so that you, nor any of you, on the said Eighth day of October next at our said City to appear, are to be held or constrained, for we do \u2018will therefore, that you, and each of you, 0e as tp us in this matter entirely exonerated ; commanding, and by the tenor of these Presents firmly enjoining you, and every of you, and all others in this behalf interested, that on the Seventeenth day of November next, at our said City of Quebec, personally you be and appear, to treat, do, act and conclude, upon those things which, in our said Assembly, by the Common Council of our said Province, by the favour of God, may be ordained.Ix Testimony WHEREOF, these our Letters we have caused to be made Patent, and the great Seal of our said Province to be thereunto affixed: Witness our trusty and well-beloved, the Honourable Sir Francis NATHANIEL BurTON, Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order, Lieutenant-Governor in and over our Province of Lower-Canada, &c.&c.&c.at our Castle of St.Lewis, in our city of Quebec, in our said Province, the twenty.ninth day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty-four, and in the fifth year of our Reign.F.B.Tuomas Douagrass, Clk.Cn.in Chy.\u2014\u2014\u2014 ProvINCIAL SECRETARY'S OFFICE, QuEeBEC, 20th Sept.1824.His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor has been pleased to make the following appointments, viz = Gaspard Drolet, ¥squire, Advocate, Attorney, Proctor, Solicitor and Counsel in all His Majesty\u2019s Courts of Justice in this Province.Chas.Bazin, Geut, a Notary Public for this Province.QUEBEC : | THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1824.The latest dates from ENGLAND.are once more re® ceived by this River.By the Canadian, Unner, Livervoor papers to the 24th August, containing London dates to the twenty-second have come to hand, The only article of importance is the submission of the Dev of Avrciers, and the consequent termination of the blockade.We are happy to find, however, that an opportunity had previously been afforded for a display cf those qualities in British tars which have so long been characteristic.The boats of the Frigate Naiad, (Capt.Hon.R.C.SPENCER, a son of Earl Sren- cer) under the direction and command of Lieut.Quin, first of the Ship, succeeded in burning a Corvette, strong'y defended by immense batteries: and secured by evory contrivasce vi skill.This Was done tuv without lc.s.THE QUEBEC GAZETTE.The small Island of Irsara, situated to the northwest of Scio, has been taken possession of by a Turkish armament of 14,000 men.But little defence was made, and the Turks seem to have conducted themselves on this occasion with some regard to the laws of humanity and civilized warfare.The ExgL1sa opposition papers did, indeed, endeavor to inake it appear that a massacre, similar to that of Scio, had taken place; but the Courier declares that such was not the case, and that there no barbarous waste of human life.It may appear singular that so important a division of the Turkish force should be employed in reducing this petty island.It seems, howevet, that the defences were strong by nature and art, the inhabitants supposed to be hardy and resolute ; and, what was more suited perhaps to the taste of the conquerors, that a large booty was there deposited, collected in many an engagement and depredation on the Turks.The love of revenge and the gratification of avarice were, doubtless, mainly the mor tives of the attack which has proved successful, Wirr or BUONAPARTE.In another part of this paper, will be found an extract from.the will of the late NAPOLEON BuoNAPARTE, published in LONDON as a pamphlet,by Ridgeway.As this is the last scene of the tragicomic performance at Saint Helena, it deserves some notice.If any thing were wanting to prove the miserable fondness for effect which always distinguished the character of this remarkable person, there is abundance in this last display of mortified vanity.It has been asserted by the admirers Of BUONAPARTE, that he made Cæsar his model during his whole life.We are ready to grant that he affected to form himself on the character of the Roman conqueror, and he was not deficient in imitating its least valuable parts.But he omitted, because his nature rendered it useless for him to attempt it, to emulate the more noble traits of the great Julius.The mind of the latter was elevated and refined, that of Buonaparte was always selfish, and sometimes gross.It never possessed the divine particulam aure which.animated the breast of Cesar; and in the single quality of clemency, how many victims have attested his measureless inferiority ! Yet does thie Ex-Emperor, to adopt the siyle of the Lis beral, on the solemn occasion of making his last will, persist in this farcical imitation; and having read that Cesar made a will in favor of the Roman people, he, with an excess of generosity, bequeaths the whole of his private domain to the French soldiery and some particular towns.We all know the use that ANTONY made, in SHAKSPEARE, of Czsar\u2019s testament : does any one who has studied the character of BUONAPARTE doubt, that a similar application of this bequest would best suit the will of the modern testator?With respect will prove nulla bona if the European governmentshave acted with common justice to the people of the countries where these splendid palaces, which he calls his, exist, We have no inclination to examine the other items of this will\u2014the catalogue, however, reminds us of the miscellaneous articies in a pawnbroker\u2019s shop ; but we beg attention to the foolish foppery of.naming all the members of this august family in their former mock titles of honor, Thus we have the Cardinal, the Prince Eugene, the Princess Pauline, the Queen of Naples, the Queen Hortense, Prince Lucien, the Prince Joseph, and the right noble and respectable Prince Jerome!!! To each of the two latter,a pair of the Imperial small clothes is left: indeed the trifling nature of the bequests forms a ridiculous contrast with the pomposity of the titles of this Imperial family.How different was the retirement and death of Crarres 5th! Who can contemplate this affectation carried to the last without contempt, and when he reads the inventory subjoined to this will, fail to regret that two of the articles enumerated are the * hat and cap of Henry 4th,\u201d which seem to have been appropriated.to himself by the arch plunderer?: FRANCE, SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.There ha$ been a partial change of Ministry in FRANCE.The Courier of the 7th August, says, \u201c that essentiaily \u201c the Ministry is (he same as it was, for although there ** is some changing of places, there is none of persons.\u201d The Count de Damas is now Minister for Foreign Affairs.Ln Spain, there has been affray between some Spanish and French soldiers at Maprin.The loan for the service of FERDINAND VII, which was negociating in Paris, has not been effected The King, in a proclamation, has disavowed all negociantions that may have been carried on in SOUTH AmEricA in his name, relative to a recognition of its independence.The PorTUGUESE Ambassador has declared officially to Mr.Cannivg, that the KING or PoRTUGAL Was nu longer in uced of assistance from GREAT Britain.A disturbance has wken place at Tarita, msiigated by the Constitutional exiles.This bas been haiied by some*liseral writers as the precursor of another Spanish iaternal war, RS His Majesty\u2019s Brig Suppho 18, Capt.Dotu- aM, arrived on Saturday from Porrsmourx | with Mr Grover aod family, who succeeds to the private domain, we have reason to think there.7 Mr.MEnps as storekeeper at Krvaston, U.C.Mr.Grover was secretary to Sir Geo.Cock- BURN, When he conveyed BuoNAPARTE to St.HecenA.He has taken his departure far Kinas- TON.The Members of the Imperial Parliament who have been in this country some time have left Quesec by land on their return to Mônr TREAL.It ppears that the use of Steam-boats has at: length been extended to the Continent.They are now plying in the Kingdom of NapLEs.The rumor ef His Masesty\u2019s intended vise it to the Continent isrevived.We rather think such a visit is not contemplated.' It is again mentioned here, on the authority of private letters, that lis Excellency the Gos vernor in Chief is to be appointed \u2018Commander in Chief in InprA, We can only say that the latest letters from Mrs LorpsuiP make no mention of any suchappointment.Lord Norsury is said to have retired from - the Chief Justiceship of Ir£ecann.He is succeeded.by Mr.Serjeant Joy.The account published in the New-York Commercial Advertiser of the 22d instant, from the Liverpool Mercury, of a horrid outrage committed on the Ribaudmen, at Tempo Fair, near ENNISKILLEN, on.the 18th of June last, in which the most atrecious libel on the 34th regt.of Foot is circulated, is totally false in all its assertions.Lieut.Col.Dickens has addressed a spirited letter to the Editor of the Liverpool .Mercury calling for the name of the base calumniator.Not one man of the 34th Regt.was-at the fair on that day.ru SUMMARY.The Merning Chronicle of the 16th ult.contains a long letter, dated Missolonghi, ou
