Santa Ana is stated to be at his ease in the city of
Mexico. The Mexican expedition. had sailed for
Campeachy.
JAMAICA.—We learn that for several months past
.a large sum of money in silver has ben remitted from
this island in payment of, goods received instead of
bills of exchange, in consequence of the premium de-
manded on the latter. We regret this circumstance,
as it may have the effect of cramping trade and limit-
ing the banking operations of the island.
TRADE WITH HAYTI.—A numerous meeting of the
inhabitants of St. Andrew's had taken place at the
Court-house on the above subject, when a Committee
was appointed to prepare an address to the Queen,
praying her Majesty to open the ports of this island
to Haytien vessels, and allowing ours to trade with
that republic.

ST. LUCIA.—On the subject of the dry weather the
Palladium of the 4th instant writes as follows :—" The
weather during the past month has been oppressively
hot and sultry. No rain fell until towards the end of
the month, and even then only pavtially, the wind-
ward parts of the island and the plains of Vieuxfort
and Laborie still suffering from the continued severe
drought."
The news from the other islandsis.without interest.
