LATE FROM JAMAICA -TAep packet ship Orbit, cap
tain Meach, from Kingston, Jamaica, brings US files
ofthe Despatch, and letter from our correspondent,
dated the 18th ult.
Speaking Of the prospects of the Island, the Des-
patch says it will be necessary that some salutary
laws and regulations be at once adopted and beng
adopted, strictly enforced prevent the land tenn
ing with unfortunate creatures, who will now be
thrown on the be unity Of the afuent and charitable
in their age also, in regard to the apprentices with
their vague notions oflberty and true blessings, of
which it fears many of them will scarcely be able to
appreciate. Offs present state, it says:
SAT this time men are sent forth to rule over us,
who do so with cruel injustice towards the planter,
and then turn round and revle and strive defame
in the eyes of our fellow subjects in Britain, and
keep our island in continual agitation. We have been
already unJustly deprircd Of rights and pro-
perty. If however, il is desired or considered advi-
sable to shorten the apprenticeship, let the surplus
million or two OF the Compensation Loan be divid-
ed and let have farther pretended compensation
SAY f5 sterling for each apprentice, and great as
will be the loss, yet had better put up with II than
to be scandalizsd and abused without the power of
defending ourselves by hypocritcos canting fellows,
with their false notisns, preudced opinions and pre-
tended philanthropy"
The calendar, this court exhibits more than oTdi-
nary list Of crime and offences.
