Jamaica l'apers have been received at the Ja maica Cofft•e-house to the Ist May. The follow- ing are extracts : [From the Courant of the 2904 April.] We learn that the Spanish frigate Arethusa touched at St. Jago de Cuba a few days ago with a Colombian brig of war, El Tinanti, which she captured off St. Domingo. The frigate left the prize at St. Jago, and proceeded for the Havant:alt. The Arethusa was front Ferrol, last from Porto Rico. A meeting of merchants and other inhabitants of the city of Kingston was held at the Court house yesterday, to take into consideration the propriety of submitting to his Majesty's Go vernment a Memorial for opening the ports of the British West India Islands to the goods and vessels of all nations. The following is an abstract of the Resolutions:— " Resolved, That the meeting feel it their duty to represent to his Majesty's Government the decay in the trade in this and other West India Islands with South America and Mexko, to point out the causes, and to submit humbly for their considera tion the remedy for those evils. " Resolved, That the Memorial read to the meeting, for the objects mentioned in the first Resolution, is approved of." Sir John Kean and suite arrived at Port Royal yesterday, in his Majesty's ship Rattlesnake. The House of Commons last night, went into a Committee on the Customs Duties Consolida tion Bill. The object of this Bill is sufficiently explained by the forgoing title. The provisions. however, give effect to some of those doctrines of free trade and unrestricted commerce, which were promulgated to Parliament by Mr. Hum's sox in the commencement of the present Session. This effect is produced by the lowering of the duty hitherto charged on the importation of a great va- riety of articles, and especially by the removal of those high duties wl.ich were imposed with the avowed purpose of protecting British manufac tures and preventing competition at home. But the lowering of the import duties, and the re moval of the protecting duties, is not the only way in which these newly-discovered doctrines of Freedom of Trade have been brought into operation ; they have been extended to the navigation systetr of the United Kingdom, and entered more or less into almost every branch of our commerce. These doctrines are so si►nple, so easy to be understood, and so attractive, that they catch supporters upon all hands; and we begin to wonder at the notions our forefathers must have entertained upon these most important sub jects; and how they could be so blind as not to perceive they were pursuing a wrong course to reach the utmost degree of national prosperity. It is therefore in no small degree hazardous on our parts that we venture to express our doubts of the policy that would introduce the doctrines of Freedom of Trade in their fullest extent, into every branch of our Commercial system, and to support the opinions of our ancestors in a partial degree. Unquestionably if the whole and sole object of British policy is to promote commerce, no one can doubt the propriety of the measures of this Session of Parliament, no one will hesitate to say but that they will he fully and to the highest degree successful and that the Commerce of the Country will more and more encrease in proportion as these opinions gain ground and are brought into operation. Indeed the removal of all the protecting duties, and the extinguishment of ail custom duties, ex cept such as are wanted for the purposes of re venue; the removal of distinctions as to shipping and the national character of the Seamen, would only tend to give a greater stimulus to Bri tish trade. But some of these duties are pre served, the distinction of shipping and the character of the seamen are still in some (per haps many, but not to the extent they previously existed) instances kept up. And what would this fact prove? might not this inference be drawn from it ? viz. that notwithstanding the applauses and approbation of his country, notwithstanding the partial success of his measures, Mr. Ilus- KISSON t►as an opinion lurking in the bottom of his breast, that former Statesmen did not adopt the restrictive system without a full know ledge they thereby prevented, the full and speedy growth of commerce, a lurking idea that they looked to commerce as secondary only, as subservient to some overpowering consideration that he had lost sight of (for we will not say he could see it if he would,) for the encouragement or promotion of which commerce was absolutely and essentially necessary. Ile must have had a t w itching at his mind now and then, that such a man as Lord Someits did not write his excel lent pamphlet, On the Necessity of Preserving Inviolate the Principles 'of the Navigation Act, merely to advocate a policy that was founded in error, or which it w as perfectly unnecessary to attend to. This something, this weighty con sideration that Mr. HUSICISSON would not sec,aud which the great Lord SOkiERS so ably advocated, was the naval ascendancy of Great Britain ; her maritime strength, which has constituted her by right the Queen of Ocean ; as she is by na- Lure the Queen of Islands. To promote this great purpose, our forefathers laboured illost as siduously. The object was never lost sight of from the time of the Commonwealth to the '26 GEO. 3d, when a Ship Registry was for the first time proposed, and an Act of Parliament passed, to carry the plan into execution. This Ast con fined all the privileges of British ships to ships having a Register, and which Register was de nied to every ship not British built - and British owned. -Since that time the navigation system. has : been upon the decline. During all the late war its principles were either wholly or partially suspended, and notwithstanding the ne. cessity of the case was most apparent, numberless pamphlets, and amongst them that whose title we have quoted, appeared deprecating the departure from a system that had raised this country to the highest pitch of naval glory. Ilow far,then,the pre sent plans of Mr.ll uslossos have been forined with a due regard to this first and most important policy of the British Government, within his closet, we cannot say ; but the result of his consideration, as given to the world, would lead us to believe, that if it did occur to him, he. thought the.falurc losses that might arise by abandoning the system ought to give way -to the present gain, which he saw was sure, and stood before him soliciti►'; acceptance. The temptation was too strong to be resisted, and so he drowned the still small voice of naval ascendancy in the loud ap plauses of success, and carried his measures to Parliament for approbation, and obtained it. We have our fears upon the subject, that when the time shall arrive (and long very long may it be averted) and we shall be called upon to put forth our naval strength, although we si►all not perhaps find it diminished, we shall find enemies more able to Cope with us, and whose strength is derived from free com merce with England. Throughout all the dis. cussions on the Bills that. so - nearly affect the most vital interests of the country, the necessity of RreserVing our Naval strength, by making our commerce subservient to'it, was never ad verted to, as chewing in the strongest light the impolicy of a general application of the doctrines of Freedom of Commerce to our Navigation system. These doctrines were adopted as fa vourable to commerce, without reference to other considerations, and because every body was aware that commerce unrestrained was far more profitable than commerce subject to restrictious. We have it in our power to prove, that under the new navigation system, the quantity of foreign tonnage that entered the British ports,. have in creased in a 'very large -rti lohilst that of Bri tish tonnage has decreased, although not in the same proportion. SIB ROBERT W1L50,/ . .--rn seems to he the ge neral wish that this Gentleman should be restored to the service. He was certainly a spirited and able officer, and a zeal for the liberties of man kind prompted him to volunteer in sepport of those liberties in other countries. As to any po litical mistakes into which h e may have fallen at homeonuch may be ascribed to the heat of Party, by which the soundest minds haVe often been misled. What passed in the House of Commons last night may 'be considered as a test of pub lic opinion ; and as the gracious Prince who at present fills our Throne, and holds forth a bright example to oft Monarchs, is never more happy than when he is gratifying his feelings by act's of benignity, there can be little doubt that he will exercise those feelings in the restoration of this gallant Officer, as he has dune .with respect to Mr. 13Rouc1IAm, according to the intimation which that Gentleman recently and so liberally stated in the House of Commons. The silence also of his Majesty's Ministers may be considered as a negative proof that they h ave . n o disposition Lo check the current of Royal ..favour on this oc casion. • On Tuesday laSt Baron FAGEL Envoy Extra ordinary and Alinister Plenipotentiary of the King of tilt.

To-day was intended for the last sad interview, b ut t o - morrow has been fixed on. We have, authority for stating, that the re port of Probert's inveighing against the Government isnot true. He did go so far as to.say, that if it had' not been for the share he had had in the llertfordshire bUsiness,. he did not think he would have been executed, end it WAS for that, and sot his pre sent crime, he suffered.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Berry, danced with his Grace the Duke of Northumberland. PRINCE LEOPOLD'S ENTERTAINMENT. Prince Leopold gave his second grand party for the season on Thursday night, at his residence in Pall-Mall, which was splendidly attended. The company began to arrive at ten o'clock, and continued setting down till near one. The dresses of the Ladies were superb, and - displayed a profusion of dia monds. Pink and blue, and white. satin with lace over, were generally worn ; a few of the hadies wore dresses richly em broidered in gold and silver. The Duchess of Gloucester wore a dress of rich pink Bros de Naples, with a black velvet hat with pink feathers, looped up in front with diamonds. The Marchioness of Winchester wore a superb turban, ornamented with diamonds. The Princess Augusta wore a white fancy hat, with a splendid plume of white feathers. The Prince gratified his illustrious guests with a concert of vocal and instrumental music, which was' performed in the principal drawing-room.— At eleven o'clock the refreshment rooms were thrown open, when a princely banquet was displayed, of which the company partook till about two o'clock. There were present their Royal Highnesses the Duke of York, the Duke of Sussex, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Duke and Duchess of Glou cester, the Duchess of Kent, the Princess Feodore, the Princess Sophia Matilda, the Lord Chancellor, the Vice-Chancellor, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, the Foreign Ambassadors, the Duke and Duchess.of Wellington, the Marquis and Mar chioness of Lansdown, the Marquis and Marchioness of Down shire, the Marquis of Hastings, Marquis 'of Hertford, Emily Marchioness of Londonderry, with a long list of other distin guished Nobility and Commoners. Mr. PETTIGREW'd CONVERSAZIONE, at his house in Sa ville-street, Burlington-gardens, was very numerously attended yesterday evening. The most distinguished literary and scien 7 title men of the metropolis were present, as well as many emi. rent artists and individuals of rank and consequence. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex entered Warmly into the objects of the meeting, ad seemed particularly interested by the display of curious works of art, specimens of natural history, &c. Two very curious skulls were exhibited, brought front one of the islands at the head of the Colombian River. They were the heads of Members of the Royal Family of the natives. One, an adult male, was remarkable for its weight and solidity, and the strong processes for the attachment of the muscles sufficiently demon strated that it had belonged to a very powerful man. This head was much flattened on the forehead. The other was the skull of a female between 7 and 8 years of age. This skull is flattened on the top to an enormous extent, and we learnt that it was eTeeted by means of a spring of whalebone, tightened every day. The manner in which these infants arc treated was detail 'etl, and is very curious. When a month old, the infant is placed in a kind of canoe, the spring before mentioned applied, and in this state of confinement the child is kept until four years of age, being occasionally carried to the Mother for nourishment. Every day a bucket of. water is thrown over it, to wash away any dirt that he been coected. comany remained to a late hour,highlyhighlygratified. with these The scientifi p c elucidations.
