gracious permission to give an explanation of thu
circumstances undui which 1 relinquish thu attempt

with her majesty, that took place un tho 10th of

I waited on her Majesty hy desire at two o'clock
on Wednesday, theUth of May. Hot Majesty had
itrevioutly seen the Duko of Wellington, and hud
invited him to assist her in the furmatiun of a govern

Majesty that the chief difficulty of a government
would be in the Huuse of Communi, and therefore,
pertly on other consideration*, but chirfly on that,
- advised her sty to soml for nnu who would
Lave the advantage of being heard in thu Commons

tuggested my name; I waited on her Mujusiy in
coosequenoe, and was asked whether 1 was willing
to assist her Majesty in formings now administra.
tiott. Her Majesty observed to mu at thu tamo
time that she had parted with her In'o advisers with
groat reluctance and regret (Hear, hear, from the
niniittrialbenchet.) Her Majesty added, that
her late ministers hud in all lespoctsgiven heromire
•atlsfitetion, but in that consequence of their rrsig-
nation, it became necessary to lake steps to form
m new administration. It is unnecessary fur me to
go into a detail of all that was said, hut 1 mutt say
that nnono could have expressed more fully, more
naturally, or more becomingly, the high sens.-, the
entertained of tlm survicos of her late ministers,
and her regret at their loss, nor at the same time
rould any one have expressed principles more strict
ly constitutional with respect to thu formation of a
new government. (Hear.)
I did nol hesitate to state to her Majesty that I
was not Insensible to Urn groat difficulties with
which X bad to contend in the performance of tha
task she nad been pleased t ■ confab to me, butlhat
having been a party to the vote of tho House of
Commons which had led to thu necessity of form
ing a now administration, l felt it a paramount ob
ligation on me to render tier Migesty every astis-
taece la my power, as much as if I myself had Ikhiii
tbocaasoorthe difficulties in which she hud been
placed, t therefore, at her Majesty'* command,
undertook to form an administration, and I propos-
•dicker Mujesty that 1 should return on the fol
low lag day, hoping that in the interim l thould lm
ahle to arrange such a list a* would secure thu ad-
ministration of tho chief executive offices of tho

try that I was prepared promptly and energetically

immediate opportunity of so doing, and I request-

arose up tothis time, either a* t»i the formuth-n of

with respect to tho superior class nflndies holding

were in immediate connexion with my political op
ponents would immediately relieve the umv govern

voluntarily resigning. (Loud cheering on the op-
poaitinn aide, of the. houae.) At tlm mi mo timer-1
stated that I did think it of much importauce, a.
conveying an iirtltm-tiou nf her Majesty’* entire con
fidence and *up|Hirt, that some chango should la-

tint liooseliutild filled by Indies, and 1 did express
the names of the Indies of tlm hed-chamher. I said
that even in some instnneas of these, where there
was not any strong political connexion, I did not
think any change would Ire nocessnry. This passed
on tho Wednesday evening. Un thu Friday
morning, Muy tlm 10th, I had tlm honor to receive
tlm following letter from her Majesty:
“Buckingham 1’nlmm, May 10, lO'.W.
“Tlm Queen having considered the proposal made
her yesterday by Sir Hubert Peel lu remove tlm
ladies of her bed chamber, cannot consent to adopt
n course which she conceives to lie contrary to usage,

In throe hours after tin- receipt nf her Majesty's

“Sir Hubert Peel pr- seals his humble <|my m
your Majesty, and inis had tlm honor of receiving
your Majesty’s note of this iimrniiig.
“In respectfully submitting to ymir Majesty's

im proposed to recommend to your Majesty for the

nf Lord Steward, nr any other which lie might pre

"Sir Robert Peel then observed, that lie should
have every wish to apply n similar prioriplo to the

ty was pleased to remark, that you must resr.-vellte

"Tlm Duke nf Wellington, in the intort lew to
which ymir .Migesty subsequently admitted him, un
derstood also thnt this wn* your Majesty's determi

ion tlmt considering the great ililliruUic* at the pre

thnt lie is reluctantly compelled, by a sense of 'puli-
He duty, nnd of tit" interests of your Majesty's ser

"Ho trusts ho may he permitted, nt tho same

jesty cnnfcrrml upon hint, hy requiring his advice
and assistance in thontlempt to from an administra

ment* your migesty may ho enabled to make for
that purpose may Im most conducive to your Majes
ty’s personal comfort nnd happtuess, to'tlw promo

[Sir llonxnT Pkki. then entered into a detail of
the vurlous obstacles lie should have to encounter.
Ho would nt the very beginning of his Administra
tion have to “ fight'' for the speakerships—the Cun
ndn question—Jamaica—and greatest of nil, the nC
gulntion of Irish ntV.iirx, would engross his ntti-ntion,
nnd ho would pmlmbly have to dissolve parliament.
Sir Ronr.ur said in conclusion, “ I felt, Sir, it was
impossible tliut I could contend successfully w ith nil
the difficulties hy which I was surrounded, unless I
had n proof of the entire confidence of the Crown.’’
Failing in obtaining thi«s ho gave up the cu
test.
Lord Jour Rfssnt.t, replied at great length, and
cited sovenmt instances of funner AdiniuLtratiou*
permitting tlm Sorereigu always to control the
household appointments, lie wn* very successful.

d an,s'.mis nature ut the charge which tins minister
posse.-..ti -ii ol th.it control nnd inlhiciico over her
Mail-sty's hougehnuhl would have laid upon him. 1
was sensible liun in every thing wjiicli lie did, trad
ry step which lie look as to tlie household, he
ought to consult not only the honor of her Majesty’s
crown, and hi't state uml dignity, tint ulso her social
condition, hero ease, her convenience, her comfort
—in short every thing which tended to the solace
ami happiness of h<-r Tile. (Hour, hear.) I rellec

Thero wnsnnollmr subject which l took into con

conditions ofslipu’.iiioim iu respect to the exercise
of this inlhioiicu uml control over the household,
ft appeared to nt" that the person about to under-
take thu direction oftlie affairs ofthis country who
iliould make such stipulations or conditions, would
do neither more nnr less ill m this—stipulate that
Im would not perform his duly, that lie would not
advise the Crowe iu a case in which lie thought it
his duly to advise tin- Crown, in order tlmt ho
might obtain place. (I lour, hear.) I thought that
nu man could make such tv stipulation ami consider
liiin-elf worthy of her Majesty's confidence, or enti
tled to conduct the affairs of the country. (Hear,
lii-iir, hear.) I thought it impossible thnt such n
siipiilati m should ho made. (H- ar.j Nor did 1
think it po-iildo thnt thn Sovereign could |.ro|>o«o

her .Majesty consi.lnred woithyof Imr ooofid.mce.
(Hear, hear.) First of nil. thn Sovereign making
or propiMsing suchn stipulation must suppose tliut
her minister was unworthy oftlie confidence of ihe
Crown, (hear, hear >, Imt suppose him t-i bn worthy
.ittlu' confidence, nnd to hreuk oil' all cm mini ni an*
lion in consequence ofilin proposal ofsncli stipula

GEN. MACOMB’S REPORT UF HIS PRO-
GELDINGS IN FLORIDA.
IIr.*n Qt'xnrr.ns or tiik AtiMrorniR U. S.
Fort King, Khuido, Muy 33, Iftftl).
Sint—Agreeably to tlie iiiotruciions I had the
honor ui receive from vour hands nt Wnsliingtnti,
on tho SOlls of.Mtm.-h fn«t, I lost no time in repair-
ing to Flotilla, ntnl arrived nt Black creek, the gen
eral depot of the army, »m tie* 5th t.f April. Thera
1 had tin* good fortuiM! to meet with Brigadier Gen
eral Tny lor, tho commander oftlie forces in this
Territory, then on a lour of inspection mid review
of tho troops, mid nt the sum- time, cngngi-d iu his
plan of dividing the cnuntiy nearest 10 the sell le
nient* into square* of twenty miles, and establish
ing posts thereon. This fortunate meeting enuble.l
me to place in the Imnds of General Tnylnr n copy
of your instruction*, and to give him orders to cn-
o|M-mte with nn- in currying tli -se instructions into
effect, dirra-ting his ttUuntiwn punicnluvly t« the ;>ro-
tection of the settlements along the line from Gu-
rey’s Ferry to Tnlla'isssce, nnd west of the Inltei
place, nutliorixing him at the same time to cull itiln
service such a force of militia ns mentioned in your
instructions. General Tnylnr, having with him in
terpreters mid Indians couijccti-d with the hostile
parlies hy ties orcoiisnnsuinity mul iutermurrin ,e,
desired to open, if possible, n criniiminicntion with
them, nnd ilicrehy innko them nciptaiiiu-d with the
lurtofiiiy arrival in the country, und my wish tu
see the chiefs and wwriiovs at this post hy the 1st of
May instant, tohold n cotifi-rrunce with tlu-m. Co
lonel Twiggs, wlm was then commanding ut Giirey’s
Ferry, having military authority over 11 coiidderahle
extent of country, was ulso made acquainted with
my instructions,und he rendered a ready nnd ellicient
aid iu furthering my views. Colonel Wiim-n of
Jacksonville, who heretofore lind ciitiiniiiiid oftlie
militin serving in Florida, nnd was highly recoin-
niend.'d to me on account ofliiseflicieni yiiud activi
ty us unollicec,wiis invited to raise nnd tiikecoimniind,
us Liciitciuuil Colonel of it BntliiHuu of mounted
militin, to assist in the defence of tho settlements
cast of the Stiwnuuoo, mid expel tin- Indians. Al
though quite convenient to him nl that lime, on ac
count of Ills private utl'uirs, theC0I0110I very prompt
ly complied with my wishes. In the tiieiin while,
Geiiornl Taylor wns milking nriiingeiuems w ith the
Governor of Florida in raisin';, for the defence of
the settlements on tho west of the Suwmiiioe, n mili
tary force. Notwithstanding nil these nieasiires,
the Indians, dividing themselves into small parties,
penetrated lire settlements, committed some mur
ders, and tired from their coverts on thu oxprcssc:
mul passengers going frem post to post.
Under these indications, it was the general belief
thnt no coinmuiiiciition could he opened with the
hostile parties, especially ns il hud been given out
that the Indians would on no account receive miy
messenger hut would destroy ntiy person that might
npprunch them with u flag. Tills threat having been
executed mure than once, confirmed the opinion 1 hut
it wus worse than useless to nl tempt tocoiiiimminile
with them. Finding at Garey’s Ferry a party of
prisoners, consisting of one man, und two wol’-gmwu
lads, uml niiiitnliet' of women mul children, amoun
ting in all to eighteen, it occtired to me that, hy
treating them kindly, I might, through their instru
mentality, communicate with thn hnstiiu hands.—
Accordingly, l set them at liberty, mid sent them
into tint country in sen irli of their friends, tlmt they
might make known to them mul thu Indian* gener
ally, the object of my coining among them. Gen
eral Taylor also sent out his Itnli-i m, in whoso sin
cerity und honesty they hud grout cmifulettce. 'lid?
first attempt toopen iirnnimnuirat'oii entirely failed,
General Taylor's Indians liii\‘*ig left him nnd joined
the hostile parly below Tampa, uml those sent hy me
ivtanied without seeing any whatever. In the in
time, report* were received of tins continued hos
tilities of the Indians, and of their iltlac.khig defence-
loss people and killing I'icm According to my pre
vious nnlilieatiou tlmt [ would he nt this post hy
th» first of Muy, l left Giirey’s Ferry on the 35iliof
April, with u guard nfdraguoiis, taking witli me the
prisoners proshiu»ly mentioned utuluguin sent them
off in search of their friends 5 hut il wus not (after
ivtnnining here) until the Dili instant, that any lu-
t|i .* culled to visit me.
Knowing tho slowness of the Indians hi perform
ing any matter *sf ntiliuniil importance, 1 did not
yield to tiie general !. -lief tlmt imiiu would attend
my mvitnllon, mul I lmd the gratification to receive
a vis'; front a young chief of considerable importmice,
accompanied hy several voting active warriors. I
explained to the chief the object of my mission, tel
ling tlmt his great father (the I'rastdoul) was sorry
that there Imd been so much fighting between Ins
white nnd r>d children, m-d that for their good he
recommended fb them *0 cense firing on ouch other,
mul make pence. The chief expressed himself
gruutly deligiitcd with the prospects of pence. 1
told him ihniif the whole imlioii would retire below
IViiso creek, hostilities would cease, uml tlmt they
might remain there until further araugetneiils could
ho nta-le. lie again expressed his gladness at hear
ing what 1 said, mul promised tlmt lie would tuko
my comiminicutiou mid spread it ur mul, being pec
sanded that it would lie well received |,y nil his pen-
tde. In n lew days after he collected 11 consulern-
bio parly of his people, consisting of men, women,
mid children, nnd paid mnnnothcr visit. 1 repented
to him, in their presence, the same “ talk," and they
scented all pleased with it. 1 then made them some
presents after which they departed niin-h gratified,
for they wore all in a most destitute condition, 11s to
cloiliingmid other necessaries.
On the 17lh instant, l.t. Colonel Harney, of the 3d
dragoons, who hud previously received my directions
to open u communication with the Indians in the
sout rn pmtinn oftlie iiciiiiisala, near Key Biscay-
ne, arrived uiihChittu-Tiistciuiggcu.priucipal chief
of tho Nemiuoles, who had been recently elected hy
a council hold hy tho Nemiiioies and Micustikies.—
Chitto-Tiistcmiggee expressed a great desire that
the business on which he was culled to meet mu
mightliespeedily attended to. Accordingly, on the
next day a meeting was held, compossed of Chit lu-
Tiistennggce, attended hy U-chc-Hndjo, a brother
of Htuo-Siuike. wliocmue with him to witin ss tlie
proceeding* lit the request oftlie Council oftlie Na
tion, nnd Hiiijock-Htuljo, Chief ofihe Mieusiikies
In this scctieii of the country, and till bis hand that
had not been d-’spitlclicd hy him to rail in the w ar
riors who were out in detached panic*. Alter go
ing through the usual ceremonies mining linlimis of
shaking Imnds mnl smoking, I explained to the mee
ting who I was, mul the object of my mission among
thorn, at which they immediately evinced great sat
isfaction. I then dictated to them thu terms of
peace, whiclt they readily accepted, manifesting
great joy on the occasion, mul they have since been
dancing mid singing according to their fashion, into-
ken of Iriomlship mul pence, in w hich many of our
officers joined them, all being satisfied of the sin
cerity of tlie respective parties The enclosed gen
eral order, announcing the result oftlie coiifcrrencc,
exhibits the terms of pence. Under existing cir
cumstances,! did not tiiink it unnecessary to enter
into n formal written treaty—such an instrument,
with Indians, having hut little binding efl'eet. Nor
did I think it politic, nt this time, to savnuv thin-'
about their emigration, leaving that sub ject "open to
such fiiiure arrangements sis the Government muy
think proper to ma'-o with them. No restriction
upon the pleasure of the Government in this re- peel
has lieen imposed, nor has any encouragement been
given to the Indians thnt they would be permitted
permanently to remain in Florida.
There is every reason to believe thnt when the
Indians remaining in Florida shall leuni the prosper
ous condition of their brethren in Arkansas, thev
will, ni no distant period ask to lie permitted to join
them.
I have the honor to be, sir, very respectfully, vour

LEGISLATIVE REDUCTION.
Georoia —The Convention, railed fur the pur
pose of equalizing and lessening the representation,
ad journed last week, after u session ol*eleven days,
Tlmy have reduced the Legislature to 1113 mem
bers,being 113 less than nl present. The nets of
tho Convention are to he submitted to the vole of
the people, for approval or rejection. Nearly aft
tlm papers in the Sit to * -eni to Im dissatisfied with
tlu-m.—Cohnithin I .v V ) Telescope.
The editor nf the Telescope is mistaken. Few
measures of reduction ever proposed, have received
less opposition from the press. Some four or five
oftlie State Rights presses (on purely party grounds)
have opposed the measure—but others of the same
J >; 'ity have pledged themselves to carry it out.
Never wns there n more popular plan recommended
t» tho people, nor one we sincerely believe, in which
party mameuvre had loss influence. It is impossi
ble to pleuso nil, but this plan has approached
nearer that desideratum than any.other that could
he devised.

with that characteristic isn component principle of

were we to tnko up the journals of tho Sonata of

were content with thn title of “ Justice," fearing,

Smoking in the sired* of Stivnnnuh is punished

We have never hom'd of n single prosecution fur
smoking— much less it conviction. It is true, thero
is mi ordinance against smoking, which our worthy
