The Jamaica journalists eiew the transaction in very different ight ; and Sirl H. Popham, far having per •.titted the Arab:tendon to partake of the hospitality of his table in the midst of his own family, is _mottled against with as much asperity u if he had been guilty of a high political ratederceanour. The gallant Admiral muy causele himself for these invectives, .with the reflection that in iespeeting the dignity of human nature, he at the same :me best roughed the interests of his eoentry. Hai • he .aeted otherwise,it is pretty generally understood that our merchants would have - been instantly ordered to quit the territories of the .Haytistri Republic, anti their property, amountieg to a million slid a half, would most probably have been eenfiseated.
