WEST-INDIA TRADE.
A Member, whose name we could not learn,
wished to ask the Noble Secretary of State (Ca&
reagh), whether our naval force upon the American
station had yet been augmented ? and also, whether
any measures had been adopted, or were in contem•
plation, for giving facilities to our intercourse with
Jamaica and the other West-India Islands ? He was
induced to put the first question, he said, from uoto.
rious circumstances ; and the latter, in consequence
of the inconveniencies created in the mercantile world
by the nature of our communications with the West.
India Islands. There had not, he said, i,n fact bent
any arrival by packet from Jamaica since September
last, and the last letters brought by it were of no liter
date than the sth of August. Of this delay, all who
had connections with that island had reason to corn.
plain. He trusted some arrangement would be made
to guard against the recurrence of such an event;
and also to provide, that in future our trade should
be convoyed not only to the Windward Islands, as at
present was the practice, but to the Leeward, which
precaution was become necessary from the state of
our relations with America. The Hon. Member con-
cluded by stating, that if these two objects were not
speedily enquired into, and proper measures adopted,
he should feel it his duty, at an early day after the
recess, to bring forward a motion on the subject.
Lord CASTLEREAGH replied, that he was un-
able to give the Hon. Gentleman that information.
respecting our communications with Jamaica, which
he required ; but he would intimate the Honourable
Gentleman's desires to the First Lord of the Adsni.•:
rally, by whom he had no doubt every attention
would be given to the subject. As to the state of our
naval force on the American station, it had been highly
respectable, even previous to a rupture being content.
plated with those States ; and, as soon as such an
event was looked forward to, no time was lost in
sending out an augmentation to it. No fears, there-
fore, need be apprehended for the safety of our trade
in that quarter. Indeed, the loss there for some time
past had been comparatively trivial.
