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.


The undersigned, &c.
