CABRERA.

The Union states that a gentleman in Paris has
received the following letter from Cabrera, dated
Marseilles, April 27 :
" I have been arrested in a house on the ex-
treme frontier, where I had come to in order
to fulfil a mission, and not as a fugitive, since
I had fought with the enemy three days, and dispersed
them. Ihavejust arrived at Marseilles, and lam on the
point of setting out under escort for Toulon. I have
only time to write to you these few lines, in order that
you may take proper steps with the Ministers and Pre-
sident of the Republic to obtain my enlargement. Un-
der a rigimo of liberty can a foreigner be treated as
under the infamous tyranny of Louis Philippe? I have
faith in your Government. I wait your reply, which
without doubt will be an order to set me at liberty; that
circumstance will enable me to reach one of the frontiers
of the Republic."

From Jamaica our advices are to the 9th ult. The
Teviot, with the Ist of March mails, did not reach Ja-
maica till the 7th April. The delay was occasioned by
heavy weather and detention at Havannab.
Fine showers had fallen during the fortnight pre-
ceding the Medway's sailing. The markets remained
dull, more so than before the recent trifling improve-
ment. Sugar was quoted 13s. to 16s. per 100 lb ;
pimento, 2d. per lb. Freights dull, and quoted to Eu-
rope, 3/. and 41. per ton for sugar; 4d. and sd. per gallon

Our advices from Demerara extend to the sth ult., and
are of a more pleasing complexion (politically speaking)
than have for some time been received from that colony.
The combined Court was again sitting, and had concluded
to resume the financial business of the colony, and a per-
fectly good understanding seems to have been restored
between Governor Barkly and the Court.
The weather had been wet, and very little sugar had
been made since the departure of the previous mail.
From Barbadoes, under date the Bth of April, we
learn that the crop would not exceed 28,000 hogsheads.
Tha Import Act expired on the 7th ult., and the trea-
sury of the island would lose 300 dolls. per diem till the
Act should be renewed.
The Home of Assembly was not complete, and was
only sitting as a Judicial Court trying controverted
elections. The island was healthy.
Trinidad letters of the 7th ult. mention that the
weather continued excellent, and the getting in of the
crops was being rapidly proceeded with.
In Antigua the weather was distressingly dry, and
serious inconveniences felt for the want of water. Sugar
making was going on, but in many instances the canes
yielded but poorly.
The small-pox having appeared in Martinique and
Guadalope, the Governors of the various West India
Islands were making preparations to prevent the disease
from being introduced to the British Islands. One very
decided case had occurred at Antigua.
