The King continu'd during’the a&iort much engaged in con/erfaiim with Lord C hatham and. Lord Hood, aud questioned the Caiile gentlemen relative to the figiuls. —His Ma -- jefty expreffid m; ! h concern for the fa'c y of the seamen at tne top gallant mills of the Orion, and when they defeended, appeared well fatisfied. The Cumberland excited the particular no* tice of the King. The ports on her starboard fide were manned with black*, dressed in white with haudfome turbans. Between the ads, the Southampton made the signal, by the King’s express order, for all cruizers; which was an intimation for the Commodore and Captains, to pay their re fpeds to his Majefty—thev did so, and were gracioully received, and killed the hands of the King. This over, the Captains rejoined their refpedive (hips, when the fquadrott made fail ; the Commodore drew out his Blips in a good position, in a line a-head, and "con cluded the day with a very general ialute ; after which the Southampton and Magnificent- - flood in for the Sound, and the fleet tacked together, and laid their heads to the fourh ward.- The day was mod propitious for this Royal Gala ; and all parties and of per sons were highly delighted. The Duke of Richmond was in his yitch the whole day with a band of malic, which at intervals play ed “ God save the King,” &c.

Their Majeflies did not land at Saltram till near 8 o’elock at night, so that they were on the water full eleven hours. Every refreih meut was set befoie them by Capt. Douglas ; audj as we find no parr of the Royal Family were sea-sick during this long excursion, they no doubt fared well, as is usual with them, di/daining all formalities—their excellent ap petites iufured them a good repast. His Majesty no longer wears his favourite bob, and douched hat; they are both difeard ed for a new handsome tye wig, and hat routd militaire, with the lull dressed VVindfor Uni term. The female part of Royalty were dressed in their usual manner, blue riding-habits turned up with red. Among those on board the Magnificent, to behold the review, were the Marquis of Wou celter, Lord Cheftei field, Lord stopford, the Hon. Col. and Mrs. Fox, the Hon. Capt. and Mrs. Berkeley, Lady Louisa and Miss Lenox, the Hon. Mr. Bathurft and four French Offi cers.

AU G UST A, November 21 . On Thursday last the following communi cation was transmitted by hi# Excellency the Governor to the General Aflembly : C J be Honorable the Frefdent oj the deflate, and the Honorable the Speaker oj the Hou y t of Reprejem at i-Ves- THE Conftiiutioh, under’which’ the Genff-’ ral Aflembly are convened, wilf require thq mature deliberation of the diffeieut powers of* Government, in framing additional and lalu tary laws, tocarry the fame into-full effed— the completion of this will be a work of :ime,» 1 ihall theiefore only for the prefeut remark on luch parts thereof, as our immediate emer gencies may require. There are no powers veiled in any depart ment during the reccls of the General bly to fill up vacancies that may ante by death, resignation, or disability in any office (except the Executive Department) under this incumbrance, it will be difficult to effed a co-operation of that efficiency in govern-- went, the Couftitmion appears to-have had in view, unless the mode of filling up-vacan-' cies is lully afeenaiued by law. By the 11. bedion of the IV. Article of the Constitution, the power of appointing militia officers, and the Secretaries of the Executive,' ' are veiled in the Exeiutive alone; to bring this claule into full effect, it will be requuite to pals a law pointing out under what regula tions and reflnCiious these appointments are to be. I Ihall chearfully acquiesce m any law that may be deemed nete»iaiy pointing out the duties ot the refpedive revenue officers, the neceflary forms and cheques for their reflec tive offices, and the mode whereby luch of ficers may be brought to account 'in the recefa _ ol the General Atfembly.' . I truit the Geueral Aflembly will accofd with me in the propriety of one of ihe Judges and the Attorney General (or it the office of the latter be put in commiflion, one of them) to telidc at the tefideiice of government,— aud that it be annexed to heir relpedive du ties to give opinions to the Executive in writing, in all cases when required. Ihe expediency of a law to empower the Executive to fix a proper deposit, for the arms, 4c/ belonging to the state, with a power to "compel persons holding the fametA’ “ deliver to any . person or perfma authoriied as atorefaid, is eaineftly recommended to your lerious coutideration.' My thurt duration’in-office precludes met for the present from -euteriug into a detail of the finances of the state, I ihall notwithftaudr ing readily premise the urgent neceffiry there will be for laying-a-Tax lor the support of Government for the cunent year, as well as a Tax in Medium to enable the Executive to fee the neceflary order taken upon an Ad. entitled, ‘AnAd to redeem the Paper \tf'e- " dium of this State and that any surplus that may anfe, or any sum or funis m medium * that may come into the Trealury, be set apart and appropiiated towards a finking fund, the fame to bo burnt under such legulations as the Gene al Aflcnftdy may be plcafed to point our. It is to be lamented thfet the languid state of commerce, for years part, together with the precarious tenor thereof, has drained- this state of gold and silver, the levying a tax which would be exceedingly difti effing to the people ; and although F have reason to hope, that three (hillmgs &four-pencetaxcd on every *ool. value, might prove adequate to the Civil Eflablif-rment,- yet I cannot recommend the measures-as I conceive a fpecific tax in articles not fubjed io wafle, and to be deli vered in places on navigable rivers where commerce exists, would prove less burthen forne to th* people; the colledion, fafe keep- -* mg, and application of-which, in conformity/ to the approprittions-br law, I trust will be-** diredea in . ****w*t- wiU- jji»e fiHW fadroMy-
