Painful as it always is to censure the conduct of
public characters, it is particnlarly unpleasant to-
speak with disapprobation of him to whom the ho-
nour of the British'Flag is in any wise entrusted.
Of the urbanity of the Admiral at present on this
station, we have heard with pleasure: • Courtesy of
manner is no less suited to the quarter-deck th.iit to
the drawing-room ; and the Naval Commander who'
unites refinement with bravery, deserves and bbtuins
peculiar commendation. :To this pfaise jir Home
Popham is entitled. He is, we have,heard, ti Gentltrj
man of literature; he is known to be aqiduous and
ingenuous. •

• The public are aware that some chart time ago, a
vessel from St. Domingo anchored at -Port Royal.
lie persons on board stated that they had divatches
foe the Governor of Jamaica, and the Admiral on
this station. Of the correct a.id digaied conduct
of his Majesty's Representative on. this occasion, ii
is unnecessaty now to speak ; it. was exact:y what it
sl:ould have been. _ _

What were the contents, or the subject of these
dispatches, it is now unnecessary to
The bearers of these documents were negroes and
people of colour. With such persons the Governor
of Jamaica could have no personal intercourse. They
might he rich, good,. enlizhtened, and religious ;
all these are personal and private qualities, but they
came in a public capacity. It Was in a capa-
city also that they became lumen to-Sir home Pop-
ham ; yet he received them ! Ile invited them to
dinner! They dined with him and his family! He
placed his wife between these black men ! Nay, he
sent his own carriage, with white servants, to convey
'them from the landing-plaee to his house ; and after-
' wards to e vey them from his house to the water-
side. Dild7ruHome Popham' receive. these people
in his public 'capacity ? If he did, how could he
presume to act in direct opposition to the known po-
licy of the British Government, which disatims any
intercourse with the people of St. Doniiin,v, and re-
cognition cif their functionaries. and any public know 7
ledge of their existence? Did he receive them
as ptivate persons ? Are then the associates'of a
British' Admiral stationed at .Jamaica to be selected
om 1 community of negroes? Are all considerations
• public propriety.to be sacrificed to personal pre-
ference? Is it any atonement to the outraged feel-
in•gs ef- Lady Popham, that three respectable men-
chants of Kingston submitted' to the degradation of
being present ? Is nothing due to the semi --xnts, the
interests, and the safety of the islands ? But it is
unnecessary to expatiate on this subject. The just
indignation of an insulted people will reach Sir Home
Popham through another Chlatiel. •
