The Jamaica Papers contain the following article
of intelligence
• KINGSTON, Nov. 24.—0 n Thursday the follow-
ing Resolutions were reported from the. Comtnittee
of
.the whole House on the state of the Island
" 1., ResolveJ, Thit his Grace the GoveroOr
having been pleased to communicate to the House
his Majesty's most gracionsdec'iaration, acknowledg-
ing the right of the Assembly to send •up any
Act whatever, wi bout a suspunding elapse, if they
stein be of opinion ahat it sups dings ch.lose-is
necessary or unadyisable, .and. that his M.kjesty. is
very far from beiug desirous nr putting any new
restrxtions upon any 'rights.; or privileges, which
they have been accustomed ts:i.extr,:ise in their. de-
liberations, as one branch of :the L4slative, • this
House are impressed with the most lively grati-
tude for his Majesty's condeseension,,in recogniz-
ing the rights of the Colonial Legislature, and qui,t-
ing the apprehensions entertained by his taithlnl suh-
jects, the Assembly ot this Island ; that it was the
intention ot his Majesty's.Mieisteis,. by an in-
struction to his 111.ijesty's Governor, issued on the
recommendation of the Right Honourable the
Lords of the Committee ot.Coancil, appointed for
the consideration ot all,matters relative to trade and
foreign . pl.intations, to put new acid unconstitu-
tional restrictions upon the dearest ii,;hts and privi-
leges of the inhabitants of his Majesty's most loyal
Colony and their Ropiesentatives„
"w. Resolved, that having, implicit confidence
Alia his Majosty's Government within this
will be administered on• the constitutional:prin-
ciples Room graciously acknowledged by Ma-
jesty, this House will futthwuh proceed to vete,
.and r.tiae the supplies heretofore granted for the
support at the military establishment.,"

Some of the American Papers speak very freely of
the treachery of the, French Gwernment with re-
spea to the abrogation of the Berlin and Milan De-
crees. Several Captains had reitirneil to America,
whose vessels
.were cpptured by • Fiend) privateers,
some of them so late as the 28th and 3 tit of Oaober,
under these very Decrees, which were to expire on
the t st of November. The papers retnaik, that.
these depredatrons on neutral commerce were
made nearly two rnonth after the elate of Cadore's
affeetionate letter io Mr. Armstrong which the Admi-
nistration so readily accredited ! •
The Heligoiand..Mail ,which, arrived yesterday'
brought letters from Hamburgh to the. eth instant.
The French flag 'as we anticipated,,was displayed in
that city on the Ist instant, when its (Grind annex-
ation to Nance took place. Thu Senate, however,
contini:ed to discharge their functions but it was
understood, that thetr authority would tease as soon
_as a new governnient was organized. Davoust, it
was expeated, would be appointed Lieutenant or
Governer-Geper,al of, the Hanse Towns and dis-
•distrias thereontu.appettailhing. ,
\Ve feel great pleasure in stating, that the persons
who have the best oppottunity of judging ut his 111-,.
EsTYsti disorder, entertain the most coutident expec-
tations of his re=covery, and conceive-that, at farthest
in about six weeks, he will be enabled the exet-
c6e of the Royal Powers. His IthaesTv, we un-
derstand, has escaped the paroxysm, which it was
apprehettded hcs wooldhave experietu.:ed at the time
• which was deemed a critical period of ll s conip!aitit.
