be submitted, to inquire, reflect, and form their own judgment on the topies to which they relate, is our sole purpose. We make no allusion here to passing events, however important in themselves, simply because these were not, nor could have been, in our thoughts, when we began the writing which we must now conclude. In them, no question, most of our readers will recognise additional cause for grave reflection as to the general condition and prospects of the British empire. We shall speak of these things hereafter, as calmly and as honestly as we have now done of others. We yield to none of our fellow-subjects in attachment to the monarch and the monarchy—or in reverence for that church whose main strength has ever lain in the purity of her doctrines, the devotion and zeal of her ministers, and the hearty adherence of the immense majority of those classes among whom much either of intelligent belief, or sincere affection of any kind, survives. We yield to none in love to our common country, or in desire to perpetuate its just renown. That it may long be pointed out as the abode of tranquillity, freedom, industry, and rural enjoyment -that its inhabitants may be adorned with every great and good qualification, and made the chosen instruments for the support and diffusion of truth, justice, and religion, is our fervent and unceasing supplication. Distinctions such as these will add lustre to our days of glory, and the preservation of them is the surest means we can adopt to arrest or avert the hour of our decline. Notes. NOTE I -ON THE SWAN RIVER. IN reference to the Article on Swan River Settlement, in the present Number, the following alterations have been made in the Colonial Office Circular, since our Article was printed off: Instead of Regulations for the Guidance,' &c., has been substituted, Information for the Use,' &c. To par. 4 has been added, 'With respect to children of labouring people, under that age, (ten years,) it is proposed to allow forty acres for every such child above three years old, eighty acres for every such child above six years old, and one hundred and twenty for every such child above nine, and under ten years old.' at To par. 6 has been added, And in every grant will be contained a condition that, any time within ten years from the date thereof, the Government may resume, without compensation, any land not then actually cultivated or improved as before mentioned, which may be required for roads, canals, or quays, or for the site of public buildings.' NOTE NOTE II.- -ON CLAPPERTON'S JOURNEY INTO AFRICA. In the Article of our last Number on Clapperton's Journey into Africa,' we attached blame to the conduct of Bello, Sultan of the Fellatas, towards that unfortunate traveller, from the treatment he experienced at his hands, as stated in the Journal. Since that was written, we have been favoured with the translation, from the Arabic, of the two following Letters, which did not appear, nor were noticed in the Journal by Clapperton, but were found by Mr. Salamé among some loose papers. In justice to the Sultan, we deem it right to give them the same degree of publicity as was given to our reflections on his conduct. The second letter is admirable, and does honour to his head and heart. It is difficult to conceive why so reasonable and friendly a letter should have failed to subdue the irritable temper of the traveller: this can only be accounted for by ill health, or supposing that he was ignorant of its contents. The conversation with the Gadado, indeed, (p. 237 of the Journal,) is to the same effect; but the state of his mind at that time was so disturbed and agitated, that he might have thought it not worth the trouble of having the letter explained to him. No. 1.—Translation of a Letter from Sultán Bello at Sackatú to Captain Clapperton, on his arrival at Kanó. In the name of God, and praise be to God, &c. &c. To our intimate friend, the faithful to his promise, Abd-allah Clapperton, Salutation be unto you. "The object in sending this is to inform you that we have received, some time ago, your letter, and have learned your safe arrival in the territory of Kanó. We now, therefore, welcome you, through this epistle, with all the hospitality and honour we could possibly show you personally on this occasion; and may God cause us to meet you here in health and happiness, and bless us and you together.' (Sealed as usual; no date.) No. 2.-Translation of a Letter from Sultan Bello to Captain Clapperton while at Sackatú. You are now our guest, and a 'In the name of God; and praise be to God, &c. &c. 'To Abd-allah Clapperton, Salutation and esteem. guest is always welcomed by us; you are the messenger of a king, and a king's messenger is always honoured by us; you come to us under our honour as an ambassador, and an ambassador is always protected by us. There is no harm in the king's ministers sending you to the Sheikh Kanemi of Bornou; nor do we see any harm in your coming when thus sent. But when you formerly came to us from Bornou, peace was then between us and the sheikh; whereas there is now war between him and ourselves: we cannot per ceive any blame in our preventing warlike stores from being sent to him. 'We continue to maintain our faith with you, and ready to attend to all your wishes; because we consider you as a trusty friend, and one who enjoys a high degree of esteem with us. Do not encroach upon us-we will not encroach upon you: we have rights to maintain, and you have also rights to be respected. And salám be to you.' (Sealed as usual; no date.)
