Sir R.

From a portion of these which would otherwise he iusupuruble. 1 have bean relieved by hoi majesty’s must kind and gracious permission to give an explanation of thu circumstances undui which 1 relinquish thu attempt to firm an administration. For such permission I applied yesterday to Lord MellMiurno. It U un- necessary for me, l presume, to rend my own letter **n the subject, Tito answer to It l received from Lord Melbourne, dated South-street, May 13, was —“ Lord Melbourne presents his compliments to - 8lr It.

Peel her majesty's lull permission to eanlain the clraamstaneus under which he relin quisbed tha attempt to form on administration, and with that view lu makn use of the correspondence with her majesty, that took place un tho 10th of u»i" 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 ment. The Duke of Wellington had informed her 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 ether Majesty’s minister, and at thu same time he 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 -v.atate, and to chow to her Majntiy and to thu coun- try that I was prepared promptly and energetically * ‘topertorm tha duty X hod un.lertak.-n. (Hear, tow.) I eonterred in the oourse of tlm day (nu Wednesday) with those with whom I had tlw more immediate opportunity of so doing, and I request- elUHUtbev would permit me to submit thi ir names fee her Majesty's appro val.as convtituiing a pa*t of the government.

No question arose up tothis time, either a* t»i the formuth-n of the guveinmant, or ax to it* conduit, on which I fixtl it necessary to remark.

I took the Red Bunk, and there taw tho several departments of the house hold. I said to those who were intended to l« my future rolleagnex, thnt witli respect to all Uiom- ladie* of **•■ •——-* * » -i-_ tw.1,.u, • lu. rank nfa lady of the bud-chmnber, I should suggest nnehaiigeto her Majesty (cltem/rum iheup/mtiti'in bent hr a;) hut with respect to tho superior class nflndies holding office, I expressed a IiojhJ that those of them who were in immediate connexion with my political op ponents would immediately relieve the umv govern ment front any further trouble un the question by 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- made with respect to Hiiim of the higher offices nf 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, and which is re;-iignaut to her fcelins.'' In throe hours after tin- receipt nf her Majesty's tmte, I addressed tho follnwhg letter tu her .Ma jesty t Whitehall, May 10. ln'10. “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 pleasure, and humbly returning into your Majesty's mind* the important trust which your Majesiy had Ih-cii graciously pleused tu commit to him, Sir Ku- Ih-h Pool tnisls that your Majesty will permit h'in to slain to your Majesty hi* Impression with respect to the cireumstnnce* whiclt have led to the termina lion of Ids attempt to form nnadmiiiistnitioufor the conduct or your Mi\jesty’s service. “In the interview with which your Majesty hon ored Sir R.

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.
