SlR—The aerompaoying affidavits, made by Hugh Hama.
ton, a free person of colour, lead Mr. Smith, the mauler of
the sloop Mentos, reapeetiutt the plunder of that vessel, sail
the minder of her master and his son, are of so extraordinary
a nature, that I take the earliest opportunity of putting their
Lordships into possesvion thereof.

The motive of Hamilton, in disseminating a gratuitous
falsehood of the nature combined in his deposition, is not
known iu this island, nor ran any body imagine fur what
purpose it could have been done. He sailed hence on the ht
of this smith, In the ship Rebecca, Wiley master, for Glss.
sow, is the neighbonikood of which place it is believed Isis
father, Mr. Hamilton West (a few years since an attorney is
Jamaica) resides, and where it is probable he may be heard
of, should their Lordship. think the subject worthy of far-
ther notice.

As fabrication', have bren frequent, and stories much ex-
aggerated, respecting the 'molestation of the British com-
merce in these sea.. I feel anxious to trace, if possible, their
authors and to be convinced that the object is rut with n
view to increase o► keep up the insurance.
I have the honour to be, Am.
