Extract Of a letter from Kingston, ia m
dated April Esd, 1908. }
A few days ago, we heard that Mr.
Rose had Quilted America without accom-
plishing the object of his mission, many here
think that England will declare war on his
arrival I hope this may not be the case
..s We now begin to feel the effects of the
Emoargo-Flour is selling at S So corn
meal at s Is, rice at SIS per 100 lbs. and
other articles of American produce nearly
in proportion, and will no doubt continue 70
rise in price while the Embargo continues
At present there is very little sale.'
. The last accounts from Jamaica say, that
the vessels which had arrived there from
America in ballast, were not permitted to
an entry, and would be obliged to return as
they went out.
Government has chartered the brig Ham
let, of New-York, to Gerry dispatches to the
Portuguese government at Brazil. She will
sail in eight or ten days.

in the court of admiralty, those ports in St.
domingo, not in the possession, or under the
dominion of France or Spain, are declared

There is therefore good ground for believing
that appeals from the condemnation of ves-
vels belonging to any country not being hos

Ertract Of a letter from respectable n1er-
chant in HaHfar 10 his correshondent
.inthis city, dated May, 10, 1908.
, g No American vessel has been sent IN
here since last October, and, Under present
circumstances, it is not likely that many de-
tentions can take places but independent of
the Embargo, all the commanders of ships
of war have lately received new and very
particular instructions in regard 70 their
treatment of neutrals, which evinces sin
cere disposition on the part of the British go
Xertment to avoid any dispute with the u
