The undersigned has received instructions from

The undersigned, envoy extraordinary and

America, has the honor, in pursuance of instruc-
the right honorable Lord Viscount Palmerston,
his Majcsty's principal Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, the enclosed extract Of a letter
from Robert Monre Harrison, Esq, consul Of the
United States in. the Island of Jamaica, and to
invite his attention TO the complaint therein made.
II appears from the extract referred to- that the
authorities OF Kingston, by virtue of some law or
regulation in force in the island, compel, under
heavy penalties, the masters Of American yes
sells sailing from that port to carry away, on re-
celying a trlfilng compensation, certain descrp-
ton Of persons, in numbers proportioned to the
tonnage Of the vcssls Whether the power thus
exercised by the authorities Of Jamaica have its
origin in British colonial or municipal Legislation,
the undersigned feels satisfied that his Majesty's
Government will readily perceive the injustice
of its application to the vessels of the United
States, and the great Inconvenience which cam
not but arise from it to persons engaged in COM
merce with that island. Under this conviction
the undersigned INDUCES the hope that Lord Pal
merston will, with as little delay as possible
cause an inquiry 10 be had into the causes Of the
grievance complained Of; and that his Majesty S
Government will give orders lor the immediate
discontinuance of a practice SO injurious TO the
trade now carried on between the United Srates
and the British colonial possessions, and SO con-
trary to the spirit Of the recent arrangement by
which it is now regulated; and also for suta-
bic indemnity to the persons who may have suf-

The undersigned Secretary Of State Of the
United States, has the honor to represent to Mr..
Bankhead, his Britannia Majesty's charge daft
faires, that he has just received intelligence OF
the existence Of regulation at the island Of Ja-
maica, which obliges all foreign vessels trading
with and clearing from that island, under heavy
penalties, TO receive on board and bring away the
paupers of the city, in number proportoncd to
the tonnage Of the several vessels; but whether
such regulation is made in virtue Of orders from
the Government Of Great Britain, or is in execu-
lion Of some municipal law, the undersigned is
not informcd, and, for obvious reasons, is will
ing to believe that it originated in some unauthor
lied ordinance Of the latter description. He
begs leave, therefore, to trouble Mr.. Bankhead
with thcinqury, whether he has any knowledge
Of the existence or such regulation, that he may
be enabled, with more certainty, TO make the
necessary representations against its execution,
as far as respects the United States.
