WEST INDIA COLONIES.

In the British House of Commons,
on Wednesday, the Goth March, Mr..
Marryat presented a petition from the
island of Grenada complaining of the
distresses of the British Colonies in
that part. He detailed the great de.
preston, and the causes which had pro-
duced it. The slave-trade was contin.
ued with dreadful activity in the foreign
colonies, which were by that means en-
abled to raise their produce cheaper.
The petitioners therefore pray the GO
vernment here to exert it's influence.
with other European powers, to put
stop to this odious traffic. But the great
est and most pressing cause of the ex.
listing suffering, was the loss of the trade
with the United States. England, some
years back, forbid the trade with the
States, except in British ships; and, in
retaliation, the Republic had prohibited
all importation whatever from the ISL
ands. Thus, the West Indies were not
only deprived of an extensive market,
but cut off from their supply in return
of lumber and provisions. They re-
sorted to Canada, &c. it was true; but
those provinces did not consume sixth
part of what they had been used to send
to the Republic; so confined a market
was soon glutted, and the Canadians of
course discontinued sending their lum.
Der and provisions, finding they could
get no returns of value. The result was
most lamentable. West India property
was alarmingly deprecated. An estate,
which sold some years back for sg40.-
600. was lately purchased for .el3,0oo.

SIR: Your letter of the 9th of March

Of receiving it, laid before the President
of the United States, by whom it has
been deliberately considered, and by
whose direction, am, in replying to it,
to assure you ofthe earnestness and SIM
cerity with which this government de-
sires to entertain and to cultivate the
most friendly relations with that of
Spain.
mis- disposition has been manifested,
not only by the uniform course of the
United States. in their direct political
and commercial intercourse with Spain,
but by the friendly interest which they
have felt in the welfare of the Spanish
nation, and by the cordial sympathy
with which they have witnessed their spi-
Tit and energy, exerted in maintaining
their independence of all foreign control
and their ri ght of self government.
In every question relating to the in
: dependence of nation, two principles
are involved; one of right and the other
of fact. The former exclusively depen-
ding upon the determination of the ma
sion itself, and the latter resulting from
The successful execution of that deter
znination. This right has been recent
ly exercised, as well by the Spanish ma
lion in Europe, as by several of those
countries in the American hemisphere,
which had for two or three centuries
been connected as colonies with Spain.
In the conflicts which have attended
these revolutions the United States have
carefully abstained from taking any
part, respecting the right of the nations
concerned in them, to maintain or new
organize their own political conssitu-
tions, and observing, wherever it was a
contest by arms, the most impartial neu-
trality. But the civil war in which
Spain was for some years involved with
the inhabitants of her colonies in Ame-
RIGA, has, In substance, ceased to exist

that, if the justice of it's recognition
we're so evident. the powers of Europe,
interested in gaining the friendship OF
countries so important for their com.

fulfilling it. But, seeing how distant
che pro spect is of even this result, and
faithful to the ties which unite them
with Spain, they await the issue of the

euitous injury to friendly government
the advantages of which are doubtful,
and the odium certain. Such will be
