You will receive, with a printed pamphlet, which has been didributcd to both houfe.s of parliament, by which you will obferve the temper anil prttrrnfions of the people of arc not much different from thofe of the colonics before the war. It may furniih you with ground to uige tlie moil refpcdlahle prrfona among you at lead, to ufe fame endeavours to exiil, as the Welt India iflandi are to cafe thetnfelves and fuit their convenience." Hy the pamphlet alluded to in the above extract (whiwh is taken from the Nova Scotia Packet of the 1 ult.) we fmd that a very rcfpcefiable part uf Jamaica are in favor of the American trade, hy the very ardent and unremitting addrefTes and petitions to government for a repeal, or at lead revifjil of the navigation acl, fo far as it refpeiis the Wed Iudia i. ianr.s, fctting forth their opinion of the incapacity of xnc Rojut! f.i 's 'jv's, of fupplying tht cc.

which ir.creafed till twelve, when it grew fo violent, that the inhabitants of this town were greatly alarmed, fearing the demolition of houfes, ruin and dclolation would be the inevitable confeuuence. About two o'clock in th mornmtr the ltorm began to abate, and the wind ihiftid more to the eaftward. At day li 'ht we were lo find that the damage in the town was fo incouii drrable, as not to utllu competition with the i'everity of the weather. The ltorm, however, was not fo favourable to the (hip the brig Adventure, Watfou, bound for Virgo, it, ami the fchooncr James, Whitford, both drove Lorn their anchors, and were obliged to cut away their ma's ftr the preservation of the vciUls the wrecked maOs and rigging of the James ha ve iincc recti puL up, and both veIels are now hi Cit'cty rt'fittiug.
