77 



shot of Fort Carlos de Barancas 

 will be scrupulously examined 

 into, and should they prove valid, 

 a rent allowed, but possession in 

 no wise given. This property is 

 necessary to the United States, 

 and under its laws may be held, 

 an equivalent being paid. 



" The revenue laws of the 

 United States will be established, 

 and Capt. Gadsden is appointed 

 to act as collector, with full 

 powers to nominate such sub- 

 officers as in his opinion will be 

 necessary to the faithful discharge 

 of the trust imposed on him. He 

 will apply to the Governor of 

 Pensacola for military aid in all 

 cases where it may be necessary 

 to correct attempts at illicit trade.

JUNE. 



Marriage of the Tiuke and 

 Duchess of Cambridge. — The 

 marriage of the Duke and 

 Duchess of Cambridge, accord- 

 ing to the rites of the English 

 church, took place June 1, the 

 indisposition of the Queen having 

 prevented an earlier solemniza- 

 tion of this necessary ceremony. 

 On Saturday morning the Queen's 

 Chamberlain issued the proper 

 notices for the attendance of the 

 Archbishop of Canterbury, the 

 Bishop of London, the Cabinet 

 Ministers, and the official per- 

 sons whose presence is required 



by law and custom on such occa- 

 sions. The great Officers of 

 State, and others, who are fre- 

 quently invited for the purpose 

 of giving additional splendor to 

 the proceedings, were not sum- 

 moned, it being the particular 

 wish of the Queen that the mar- 

 riage should be as private as 

 possible, in order to spare her 

 Majesty all unnecessary fatigue. 

 2. Spires. — The new Bavarian 

 Constitution has been published 

 in Pihenish Bavaria, and has ex- 

 cited general satisfaction. The 

 proclamation of this constitution 

 was made here with the greatest 

 solemnity. At the same time 

 arrived a Royal rescript, by which 

 his Majesty maintains and gua- 

 rantees the existing institutions 

 of Rhenish Bavaria. Thus the 

 inhabitants of this province are 

 going to participate in the be- 

 nefits of the general constitution, 

 and to preserve at the same time 

 their judicial organization, their 

 jury, the publicity of their sittings, 

 their councils, general, provin- 

 cial, &c.
