JAMAICA, HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, FRIDAY, N,ov. 1. A Memorial of the Missionaries ot The Method its presented, and read, as follows : JANIAICA S. "To his Honour the Speaker and the Members of the Ho nourable House of Assembly. ," The Memorial ( of the Missionaries of the People called Me thodists, in said Island, " Ilrnnblr dowetk, " That your Memorialists are in connexion with that body of religious people in Great Britain, Ireland, anti other parts of the world, usually Called Wesleyan Methodists, and have been up 'Minted to the Ministry, of the Gospel by the au thorities of their denonsiustiOu in England. 4" filiit the avowed and real object of your Memorialists, and that of all the preachers of their connexion, is one, and which, in theexer -64 of their functions, they end eavour t o promote to the utmost of their ability—namely, to render their hearers, its temper and conduct, upright and humble ehristians, Their design is wholly un connected with politics >i it is purely moral and religious, and their principles and discipline are altogether on the side of peace and tranquillity, being absolutely opposed to every thing that would endanger the quiet of the land. " That your Memorialists are conscious of the most unimpeachable integrity end disinterested. tins, and are %yell assured of the useful of of their labours, in the reformed liver, the humble and peaceful deportment of hundreds of their people, as well as by the concurrent testimony of many espectable wit notes. '• - That nevertheless, your Memorialists fee emselves obliged to state, that mac.•h misco►►. caption, misrepresentation, and censore have arisen With regard to the character and object of th e ir mission ; that it has been blended with other as sociations or institutions, and confounded will) every description of religious teaching ; and that, in consequence, your Memorialists have from time to time suffered much opposition in their endea vours to exercise their calling. That your Mentorialists, however, are humbly confident that there is nothing in their system of doctrines and discipline, which can justify these opinions, and the consequent Opposition theyexpe- Hence. With regard to their doctrines, they enforce (agreeably with the Scriptures) on the minds of the people, together with the fear of God, Objection to the higher powers, obedience to magiStrates, speak ing. evil of no man, contentment, quietness and prompt attention to business ; in like manner they exhort servants and slaves to count their master* away ofiil honour, to be obedient to them, and to please- them well in all things, not answering again, not. pertaining, but showing all fidelity, amid t singleness of heart to fulfil their duty ; and in respect to their discipline, they do not recom mend or even.eassoilenance immoderate or frequent fasting, nor do they bold or sanction any religious meetings at improper hours : they disapprove of a regard to dreams and superstitious fancies of every .kind : they endeavour to make men happy, COll. tented, and industrious , not miserable, ambitions, or slothful ; being studious to render them fruit ful in every good word and work, that they may alWays possess a solid hope of eternal felicity. " That your Memorialists are clearly and fully persuaded that their doctrines and diSeipline, with the manner of enforcing them, have a direct and powerful tendency to promote general' concord, and that there is nothing in their tenets subver sive of gond order or public prosperity ; nor, al though the best system may be abused, JIM, a sin gle instance occulted to their knowled ge o f t h e i r members being concerned in any one of the evil designs, or disorderly and discontented associa tinos, by which the public 63 lately, or at any time been alarmed. " Further, that your Memorialists have been' ajecte.l to on net:omit of . tite'contribrutions made by their societies for the support of the Mission, and the nature of their connections in England ; to which they respectfully miniver, that they nei.; ther receive nor with for any thi ng i ncons i stent with the me ans , inclination, and welfare of• Mly member of their societies ; nor have they, more than a reasonable and necessary provision for food and raiment, and unavoidable contingencies, and even this is supplied them the stewardi of the societies, who receive the coutributions from the people, and state a regular account of the whole, subject' to the inspection of the leaders and elders of the societies. With respect to their friends at home, Memorialists receive no salary or emoluments from them, nor any instructions but what are usually printed and'Made public, and are altogether unconnected with the affairs of Go- vernment ; nor have they any correspondence with political parties. In short, they are not in fluenced by their office, duty, instructions, or in clinations, to interfere directly or indirectly with the legislation of the colony. " And, lastly, that your Memorialists, willing to have their mission better understood and prechtted, could cheerfully lay before your Ho nourable House a full and accurate account (*the rise and progress, the forms and govermiieut of their societies ; the nature, qualifications, appoint ments, and duties of the offices of their preachers, stewards, and leaders, with every other particular concerning their economy : but they apprehend such detail would be found inconveniently tedious. Memorialists, however, humbly and confidently trust that the statement now submitted will be found worthy the attention, and entitled to the favourable opinion, of your Honourable House, " Your Memorialists, therefore, mast earnestly solicit your Honourable House to relieve them from the unfavourable impression which has so long operated against the integrity, good faith, and succe, of their mission, by indulging them with u greater degree of konfidence and credit than has hitherto been manifested, and by 140. log them such facility, in the exercise of i,lkr• Ministry, as t o y our Honourable Houk Mai pear reasonable and expedient ; for whi c h b en i gn interference they will feel the liveliest gratitude, and in all . their pro cee di ngs unceasingly study to deserve its continuance.

The French Funds have risen two per cent. more, and were on Saturday (as appears by the Journals to Monday inclusive, received this morn ing,) at 61—the highest price which they have, we believe, obtained since ,the second Rests:ogal) of the King.
