Amonc the procedincjs 6f congress wi!' ofoi n 'a report of the committee of foreign relations of the senate, in respect to the restrictions imposed on the trade'between the United States and the British West India colonics. To put our readers in possession of another view ot the suhject, we pre sent them the following petition ofi the assembly of Jamaica to the king which represents the wants and wishes of that important colony in vcrv forcible terms. i St. Jatro dc la VezaDce. 22, 1821. The following address to his tnajesty, passed the honorable house of asscmblv on the 12th mst. and has licen forwarded by the packet : Jamaica, ss. To the king's most excellent majesty The humble petition of the assembly . of Jamaica. "We, vour inaiesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the assembly of Ja maica, humblv present to your maiefctv' consideration, a statement ofl the distresses which alllict tnis colony, and which, we cannot but ap prehend, will increase to its destruction, unless through your majesty's paternal interference a timely remedy is applied. We lament the necessity of detailing grievances so lately complained of; but the pressure of unmitigated and unredressed suflering, compels us to implore the royal attention w liuvresu, which thouch remote, materially concern the national welfare. The principal staple commodity of the West Indies, fsuear) is no? reduced to a price co low, as to he, in most instances, inadequate to pay

the duties to your majesty's revenue, i : n TI.UIn

and the expenses of cultivation. The planter, debarred from the hope of profit, sees his industry reauited hv

accumulating debt, and the prospect of utter ruin to hiintelf and his creditors. The present state of the British market will give the price oil hlty-seven pounds lor one ton of sugar of moderate quality. Of this sum twenty-seven pounds arc paid for customs, hltecn pounds are deducted to defray the freight, and other! Uritish charges, and the small portion of fifteen pounds, (not amount ing to three-elevenths of the gros produce) remains to the colonist, as the share to winch he is considered entitled, to reward his labour and risks, pay the annual expenses of his establishments, and the proht upon the large fixed capital he necessarily employs. No assistance is now afforded bv the manufacture of rum, to defray the yearly contingencies of a, sugar estate; the market price of that article being unequal to pay the cost of manufacture and other expenses. An over supplied market is, we fear, not a temporary but an advancing evil. The importation of sugar from the East Indies for home consumption has for the ilast seven vears, been increasing. and stilt continues to increase. The additional duty imposed upon sugar imported from the East, has beer proved by experience to have beer, estimatcdupon fallacious grouadsand not to have attained the object of full protection to the produce of the West India colonies. The inhabitants of this island humbly press upon your majesty's attention, the injustice to wards the old colonies, of any inva sion of their right to an exclusive trade to the mother country, in the productions of their oil. By the colonial system, established by Eng land for her own ngrandisemcnt, British shipping and British seamen are exclusively employed in ourcommercc. No article of European growth or manufacture can be purchased unless imported from the mother country, wnich obtains tht benefit of the carrying trade, for our supply and double freights, the colonies being burthencd with the increase of charge. The whole of our produce is, by the same system, sent in British shipping to the markets of the mother country, and a nett revenue of three million and a ham of duties on sugar alone, is paid to support the government. The val ue of this intercourse is felt not only in what is received from the colony, but in what the colony makes the parent state produce in the, encouragement of her manufactures, the increase of her population, and the employment of her seamen. Are we not entitled to an advantage in return "of this cod-of prohibition, restraint and'tajntfonKVThc privilege of exclusively supplying the mother country with our &ple eom-i mod ities, is the equivalent which j has had the sanction of long (!me and mutual recognition, and a Ratification which has been designated as more solemn than any t7hirh an act of parliament could confer. We see with dread the infringement of this compact. The introduction of sugar from the East is an innovation of com paratively small advantage, and much less is it indispensable to that part of the empire, but it will ensure the destruction of this. The British colonics felt the injury of the foreign slave trade, bein? still pursued with unabated ardor. The markets oi tne comment arc . I J A nenrlv engrossed bv the produce of foreign colonies cultivated bv labor crs cheaply procured from Africa. And at the same time, the continuance of the war duties, and the insufficient drawback allowed upon the exportation from Great Britain, of

e Our supplies from the United States of America of !amber and provisions, which are essentially serviceable to aid the natural de for

or the failures of our climate and wii, are straitened by the total in--Mated and limited the laws of trade and navigation permitted in British ships, i3 denied to l" retaliatory system of the United States. Provisions, the growth of the United States, travel to us when introduced, by a double voyage and at an expense unnecessarily enhanced. By this policy, the subjects of your maiestv arp stinted in their supplies, and are taxed, while the benefit is conferred on the ships of Spain and America, land on Spanish ports. A new systert of intercourse upon the basis of mufyal penent, permitting the importation in American bottoms of the Drodud of the United States, and the ei ports of our staple commodities il return, would afford an important relief to the distresses of your majjesty's colonies, and have the advan f r oro rtr nnnninir in RrUirk r L : - ''v i. i j , ' tii 3it snips ix trade from which they arc now ex cluded, and it may not be irrelvant here to observe, that the Americans have a free trade for sugars to the East Indies, while the' are preclude 1 taking any fiom us. The discouragement of our industry, our crippled resources, the difficulty of raising the means in addition to our large contribution, to the revenue of the empire, for supporting the troops sent for our deV fence, and for defraying the other' expenses of our insular establishment la re grievances which threaten our emirc ruin. v e. arjoroacn vour Y -a majesty's throne with a confidence that relief will be found, and that your majesty's ministers will receive your royal command to propose to the consideration of parliament such measures as may restore your loyal subjects to prosperity.

The fort of St. Juan de Ulua, at Vera Cruz, remains possessed bv the rovalists but its intercource with the town was cut on, and heavy batteries were erected against the fort. Phis, we believe, is the only spot in all Mexico, where the indepen dent flag is not acknowledged. Guafimala is created into an independent State.
