German Papers to the 15th have arrived.—
They state a plan is in contemplation for ameli-
orating the condition of the Jews, which has
been submitted to the Chamber of Deputies at
Stutgard. It is but a few years ago that the
Jews at Frankfort, though forming a fifth part
of the population, were pent up in a nook of the
city, which had but one place of egress, and even
this was shut up at, night ; and even now, in
Germany, they labour under many galling re-
strictions, which are a disgrace to an age that
boasts of its civilization.

" Si n,—Having received a copy of resolutions which were
adopted at a meeting of the Merchants and Underwriters, held
this morning at the Commercial-rooms, on the subject of certain
pretensions set forth by the Colombian Republic to exclude fo-
reigners from trading with the Mosquito and other shores in that
vicinity, I beg you will be good enough to make known, in the
usual manner, for the information of those interested, that I
shall send by the Grecian cutter, which is to sail for Carthagena
the day after to-morrow, a letter, requesting that the proclama-
tion on the subject be suspended, till the same shall be made
known to the British Government.

" I shall also acquaint the Governor of the said Republic,
that until I have instructions to the contrary, it is my duty to
protect the British trade in these seas, wherever it may be car-
ried on in a lawful manner, and I therefore cannot make any
exception to that which is carried on with the Indians on the
Mosquito and other shores in that vicinity.
" [have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
" L. NV. HALSTED, Vice-Admiral.
