By the arrival of a Jamaica Mail this morning, we
have received l'apers to the 28th pf November. On the
lit of *November ,the Givernor opened • the Sts,ions
with a speech, of which the following is an. extract :
" Tam happy to meet you at the usual season of the year, and
to offer you my sincere congratulatiqns on the undisturbed tran-
quillity which the Colony at present enjoys, and on the measures
I which• have been adopted in the Imperial Parliament, by which
the interests of the West India Colonies have been so liberally con-
sulted. Their ports have been opened to foreign ships their trsde
opened to foreign countries; duties lowered, and large fees, which
hive been levied in the coloniai piwts, are either modihed or altoge-
ther abolished. There is no Colony which will be more essentially
benefi:ted by these arrangements than Jamaica. Two years have
now elapsed since I was instructed to submit to you certain pro-
positions for improving the condition of the Slave population, which,
in almost every instance, had been suggested by his Majesty's Go-
vernment. At the commencement of the last Session • I renewed
my representations to you on this subject. No period can be more
propitious for a calm consideration of what may be practicable for
the further protection of the persons, the security of the interests
which the laws have placed under your immediate controul, than,
the present—rhe Colony enjoying perfect terse."
