sequence of frequent absence from the Colony, he had been under the necessity of sending in his resignation to the Belgian Government, and requesting the recognition by this Government of Mr Theophilus Greene Linstead in his room.

I have the honor to be, My Lord Duke, Your Grace's most obedient humble servant,
