"I am commanded to acquaint you, that the War, which was so unjustly provoked by the ambition of France, is directed with increased energy by that Power for the overthrow of the British Empire. His MAJESTY, however, feels the fullest confidence, from the justice of his cause.aud the spirit and libe. rality of his Subjels, that all the attempts of the Enemy will be completely defeated, and his arms ultimately crowned with success. He derives this confident' expedation, under the blessing of Pro. vidence, from the unexampled zeal of his Subjeds, in forming themselves to the use of arms, and their undiminished cheerfulness in submitting to the ex traordinary burthens which public exigencies have occasioned. " Mr. Speaker, awl Gentlemen of the Assembly, " HIS MAJESTY feels a similar confidence in your attachment ; his attention will be always extended to your safety and protection ; and he doubts not that he shalt receive such support from your libera. litY as will enable him to fulfil those objeas with the smallest possible burthen to the SubjeCts of the United Kingdom, who are already so deeply charged by the expences of a War, which, if dis. astrotis to Great Britain, mu►t necessarily be so to Jamaica. 6S Gcntlern•n of the Council, Mr. Speaker, and "- Gentlemen of the Asternbly, " I have only to renew my assurances of hearty cooperation with you in every measure which may best promote the welfare, and tend to the security and tranquillity of this Island."

" We gratefully join your Honour in acknow. ledging the bounty .of Providence, manifested in the return of those seasonable rains which are so es. sentially necessary to the prosperous cultivation of this Island ; and we are duly sensible of the early attention paid by the British Government to the safety of Jamaica, by the removal of the numerous French Prisoners to Europe. g , We view the unprovoked aggressions and in. ordinate ambition of France with that just indig.' nation which they must necessarily excite in every department of the British Empire : and, relying ott the. justice of the cause in which His MAJtsTy's arms are engaged, we look forward with confident hope that, under the blessing of Providence, they cannot fail of being crowned with success. W t are happy to be assured by your Honour, that Hl* MAJaSTY ieels a confidence in QUI' attach. iiave been mispliced.

DECEMBER. 7. Captain lint.ry, of die Schooner Sally, arrived at Charleston, from ffsvannah, brought with him, as passengers, two French Soldiers, being a part of those who were on board an English Cartel Ship from Jamaica, lately put into the Havannah in dis tress, and which sunk in the harbour. Every Arne. rican vessel bound home must take two of these SOldiers on hoard, before the. Spanish Government will permit her to clear out. The Masters are fur• nished with a Certificate to deliver them to some French Commercial Agent, on their arrival in the United States. Accounts from Richmond state, that JEttoul BONAPARTE and Lady arrived in that City on the 3oth ult. from Norfolk. They had adually taken their passage for France in the French Frigate President, of 44 guns, and were pursuing their voyage ; but Madame BONAPARTE being taken ex. tiemetv ill. soon after they had got to sea, the Fri gate returned, and landed Juaomit and his Lady at Norfolk. A Transport has arrived at New Orleans from Jamaica, with zoo Troops on board belonging to the late Army of St. Domingo. She was bound originally to Havre-desGrace : these men took pos. session of the Ship off the Balize, and conduCted her to Plaquentin, where they landed, and were proceeding to New Orleans, along the kinks of the river. It was thought, that the introdudion of these people would increase the discontents that pre. vail there.
