been openly proclaimed by the journals of both parties, aid

Royalists' press, as to the support intended to be given to
the Septembrists' party, as defenders of the national inde-
pendence and of the amplitude of electoral rights.
New York papers have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house two dajs later, by the Gar-

A meeting took place of several gentleman interested in
sugar cultivation, at the Court House, Spanish Town, on
Wednesday. Tikt Hon. M. Ilais said he thought the
subject one of such importance, that he would pro-
pose that his Honour the Speaker do write to Mr.
Burze, the Island Agent, by the present 1 aeket,
calling his attention to the contemplated petit;on
by the inhabitants of Trinidad. His Excellency the Go-

We have several arrivals this morning, more penti..ularly
of foreign mails from the West Indies and the Mediter-
ranean ; although they bring a great number of papers, we
can find but little news of importance in them. The in-
telligence from Jamaica and the other West India islands
continues very favourable ; all was quiet, and the working
negroes going on well. The intelligence from the United
Status are of much the same description as per last ac-
count, with the exception that some of the Bank shares
have rather improved. We have an overland express via
Bombay bringing Tatters, but not of a later date than pre-
viously received.
