' The recent successful attempts made to navigate ihe Atlantic by steam, have in(hrcqd"the Brrttsh lioverniiiont to enter into large arrangements to ",Bn" 1ene1 ' " moo ' communication cloiiies snd Iwr commerce in general. Ihe ( " il in the House of Commons, will be read - " - - '",' - - ' of , tlie North, teweat temW-wfcteV vftriiseineiil was for 15,000 a year, the mail to lie carried once a month. This appeared to Go vernment nuch loo high, arid they had consequent, ly made a private bargain, by which, for a slightly increased sum, they would have double tho quiiitiiy of work pertlirmej. The contract was for the conveyance of the mail to Halifax once a fortnight at the rate of 50,000 yearly. Covern men! had also made arrangements for a mail from Halifax to Boston once a fortnight, and tho total yearly expense would be 100,000. Thisie ar rangements were ma de.fi r seven years. With re spect to I tie conveyance of the mails to the West Imlivs, uo contract . w,i-yet made, but. he .did not anticipate that the service would be performed at the same low rate, unless the party contracting to do tt, hail important interests of another kind at stake in fhe West Indie. No oflvr had been made to the Admiralty half so good as that which had been taken. Certain persons had come to the Ireuaury and aduiirslty.,aiid said they would per. form the duty for '210,000. That was agreed to. What was lhe service to be done ! There was now a communication by sailing vessels twice a month between this country and the West Indies, and there was a communication oijce a month by But the mode of commu- l)irat(im ihv sailing packets was allogetlior deficient latisiaclory. "There"wa"i "no rcgtlliif 'edifi and unsat municatiuual alLwilii Makbarand the ciMiimUQL- cation between the whota of our West India pos sessions and the coasts of South and North Amer ica was very defective ; thus there was no packet communication whatever between Mexico and the West Indies, and no direct communication between Cuba and the east coast of America. If specie wt're in w unm'jetl irnm Mexieo lo any pert the West Indies, there was no mode of doing it but by a ship of-war. In fact, there was no communi cation which could be dependod upon between the West ludiei and tho whole of North America. by the parties'Vitti whom this contract had been made. Twice a month ;steamertf 400 horse .power would cross the Atlan'tic : and such lines would be established as would connect all the Is j lands of the West Indies, whether British or For eign, and as would also connect our colonies in the West Indies with those in Uomerara and Berbicej with the Cameras. and Honduras! with Havana ; with Vera Cmx, and the southern part of the Uni ted States. A connexion would also be establish ed between Havana and New York. 1 The cumber of steamers required would be about 14; and the result would lie, that they would have communica tion between the whole northern part of South America and the whole Southern part ol the Edited Slates, and with the British Island ; and such a This would be established earlyi in the summer of 1S4I. Which was a soon as so n.any reamer. which would be of a sue of wh 7c,Mrv heu forth -X conf.ion ZfT: ' c t oi.'.y to cxamjiles, couitl be built. "This he thought- was as satisfactory au arrangement as could be j and that if was a fair one there could be no djuht, wheu it was considered how heavy must be the expense of building so many vessels, and also of sending out coal from the country to -lopply-them.
