THE COLONIES.

[From the Quebec Gazette.]
WEST INDIA INTERCOURSE.

QUEBEC, Maraca 18.—All the recent accounts from the
West India Islands agree in stating that assurances had been
received by the Colonists, of a determination on the part of his
Iklajp.,sty's Government to adopt regulations, giving a greater
latitude to the trade of these Colonies, particularly with the
United States. We *ink the correctness of this informatiOn
can no longer lie doubted, and it is probable that the measures
will be effected during the Session of Parliament which was to
commence in February.

We are persuaded that measures will at the same time be
taken for the protection of the trade between the'North Ame-
rican Colonies and the West lnni2s. We.have the most perfect
conviction of the desire of his Majesty's Government to do'
equal justice to every part of the Empire ; but we haVe never-
theless reason to fear the itiliYets of misrepresentations got up and
supported.by partial interests'and views.
A Resolve connected with the present subject has lately been
made in the-Senate of the United. States; viz : to prohibit by'l
hear duties 'the ifportation of Spirits: but as it can hardly be
aCtea upon during the' present Session, it is probably intended-
to operate as a notice. It is a measure which seems to be
countenanced by the Government.
