"Gentlemen The solemn act which has been perform ed completes the social edifice commenced by the patriot ism of the nation and its representatives. The Stae is definitely constituted in the form prescribed by the Con stitution itself. This constitution emanates entirelv from you and this circumstance, owing to the situation in which the country , has been placed, seems to me to be fortunate. It prevents collisions which might arise be tween the different Powers, and impair the harmony that ought to prevail between them. The promptness with which I have repaired to Belgium must have convinced you that, laithful to my worrl, ! have delayed coming among you only till the obstacle which opposed my ac cession to the throne could be removed hy yourselves i " The various considerations which have been adduced in the important discussion which produced this result, will be the subject of my most serious deliberation, v " I have received, from my entrance on the Belgic ter ritory, marks of affection and good will- for which I stiil feel equal emotion and gratitude. .

'A Belgian by your adoption, I shall also make it my duty to be so always by my policy. I have also been received with extreme kindness in that part of the French territory through which I pissed, and I have considered these testimonies of good will, which I highly value, a presage of the relations of confi dence and friendship which ought fo subsist between the two countries. " The result of every political commotion is to affect for a time the welfare of the people. I am too sensible of its importance not to direct my immediate attention and most active solicitude to rcviv? commerce and manufactures, which are the verifying principles of na tional prosperity. The relations which I have formed in the countries which are our neighbours, will second, 1 hope, the efforts which I shall immediately make to at tain this end; but I take pleasure in believing that the Belgian people, so remarkable both for good sense and resignationf will give credit to the Government for the difficulties of a position connected with a state of dn tress, which at this moment affects almost ajl Europe.

Fortunatelv I have obtained a paper s: hich I now forward. It however, gives but a poor ilea of the damages and losses sustained as appears trom the memorandum on the back by a gentleman of high respectability. Private letters estimate the number ot lives lost at bet ween tour ana nvemousauu. and great fears are entertained lest the effluvia from the bodies under the ruins, (putrefaction having al ready commenced,) may add disease to famine and want.

States The following is a description of the Hurricane and its devastations, which we copy from the Gazette above mentioned : " j "On Wednesday evening, the 10th, about 7 o'clock, the wind "'very fresh at North, the clouds began to collect in thick masses in the N.

W.. and increasinp; in violence every instant, and continued till five the following morninp;, (by which time the work of destruction had been completed) when it shifted again to S. E. and blew exceedingly strong until about half past eight; when it somewhat abated in violence and gradually died away, leaving the whole island one unvaried scene ot isolation and distuess. In Bi rdgetown there is scarcely a house which has escaped injury hundreds have heen razed to the ground, and many of their inhabitants buried under the ruins, others unroofed and partially thrown down so as to be completely untenantable. Trees of immense size and strength were either uplifted by the roots or bereft of their branches. All the vessels in Carlisle's Bay were driven from their moorings and thrown or shore. At the Out Ports in Speights, the Hole and Oistin's towns every house" has either been thrown down or rendered untenantable their inhabitants sharing the fate of the numberless victims who have been crushed to death. . In the country, the whole face of nature is changed on the plantations, almost without a single exception, the buildings, mills, and negro houses, have been destroyed,; and many of them have suffered materially in slaves and cattle. The provisos which had been, housed, as well as the standing corn and canes in the fields, have been so completely destroyed as scarcely to leave a vestige behind, and to add to the heart rending pic ture,' at this moment many of the estates are without an article of food of any kind. No force of language can indeed convey an idea of the horror and distress every where observable throughout the island, and which ever way the eye is turned, the head grows di-m and the heart becomes faint at the saddening i and sorrowful picture. Many of the opulent and respec table families, as well as those of th6 middle and poor er, by this melancholy catastrophe, have thus been driven out, destitute of a cove rine -manv who the day before were surrounded by their families and comforts, have not where to la their heads. " Up to this moment the number of killed has not been ascertained, nor all the unfortunate creatures who have been inhumed in the fallen dwelling tak en from beneath them. The interval of time between Thursday morning and the present, has been employed by the living in burying the dead. The bodies which have oeen discovered have been borne through the streets to their silent and narrow homes in coffins, trees, and whatever else could be obtained for them. Amfclst numberless other distressing cases of this kind, it is our painful duty to notice the melancholy fate of Deputy-Assistant-Commissary-General Flan ner, who, with his wife, five children, his niece and two servants were all buried under the ruins of their dwelling on Wednesday night, from which they were not taken until the following morning his unhappy wue ana two oi me emiaren atone navmg survived.

Seve ral jSpeights' boats returning from the leeward from thisf were upset on their way, und almost every soul on board of them drowned amono whom we rpo-rpt to say, were our fellow laborer the joint proprietor of wxi fm -vir. j. wooaing, and his brother, Mr. Ihomas Vooding, who perished, with fifteen others belonging , to the same boat, on the fatal night of Wednesday. We cannot conclude this appalling account, without observing that of the many persons with whom we have conversed on the subject, and who experienced the great storm of 1780, all concur in the opinion thatiereater iniurv has been done on the island by the latter than the former a circumstance4feel unwilliii which will morel forcibly convey to the reader an idea of the violence of the storm of Wednesday night, which lasted 8 hours only, when the duration of that of 1780 is supposed to have been 48 hours. The most remarkable! phenomenon attending the storm of, Thursday morning, was the sudden gusts of wind which, instead of thunder, invariablyjaccompanied the most vivid flashes of lightning, and came with a force not to be withstood. Hollow, subterranean noises were also heard, ani some imagine we were also visited during the night with earthquake this, however, we do not vouch for, as we were not sensi ble of them. "We have hastily thrown together these few particulars, amid the scenes ofindiacrbable horror and confusion, and shall continue to furnish such addition al ones as may reach us.

Jo'm Gildersleeve had more sense William Fowler too. All these things ar an after thought, which I can explain, I think. Again iu J j'.v, 1830, this same Mr. John Gildersleeve wrote me a letter, from whic" I make the following ex tract, and which, when read, must create a regret in the minds of some people that GJ did not blegs every man with h strong memory: ' Mr. Fowler wishes nothing from you but what is right as to the fellow, (mea .ing Sam;) he don't pretend to have znv claim on him : he only looks to you for the payment of the bond you gave him, and did bold ijack the writ in hopes 'hat you would pay it without a la.v suit" And he concludes, "I shall come to Raleigh myself in" the course of 4 or 5 weeks; 1 will settle the thing with you. Let me hear fro n you." I think I have disposed of Mr. Gildersleeve'; statement; and it will be no great effort to rid myself of any effect i that is to follow Hindes'. As4o what the bond states, it would have been more satisfactory to publish it. I rely moieon its correctness than any man's memory. In what manner I avoided a compliance with the bargain, he does not condescend to state. His impertinent inter ference with my property alone prevented my lelivering the negr-) according to contract. I have sued him for it, and this may account, for his readiness to certify. Had Fowler admttted heretofore, as fully ag he now does, that this act was authorised by him, I should have honored him at the same time in a similar way ; but suspect his lawyer bad advised him it wo ild not do while his suit on the bond existed; but now that he finds it his interest to claim the negro and not the money, the thing has changed. Imprudent liabilities which I had incurred for others, as a surety, involved me in ribt; and thougn I have long strug .led . to recover from ihe inbarrassment which it has crea t d in my pecuniary aflV.irs, I ha not succeeded as yet in relieving my estate from a large d bt which I honestly owe, and for which my friends are b"ind as my endorsers. For their indemnity, a deed of trust has been executed by me, which conveys the greater part of what I own. It was this which changed ihe views of Mr. Fowler. So long as he aw an immediate prospect of recovering the money which was due upon the rescinding ot our bargain, he pressed for it, concealed his agency in running off tne negro as well as he could, and actually gave up he Bill of'Sale, and consented it should be cancelled, and it was cancelled in bis presence; but no sooner was he ap-prigedofm- embarrassments, than he set up a claim to Sam, and insisted on his right to him under a Bill of Sale; ai:d he says, in his publication, that he has discontinued his suit on the bond, f which I did not know hefnr I it published, and now have onlv his Word for it , I did not that Sam should eo id illm n,nvAA hm wouH take him and make good the loss 1 had sustained by bis bemg u off: and, so far as I am concerned I wdl now consent to it, with the understanding that he takes hioi as he runs ; and, upon his paying me the damage I hae sustained by this improper interference with my property, 1 will now seal and da ver a new Bill of Safe v., uu so i nave neretotore ottered to do.
