JAMAICA. Improved Condition of the Isinnd—Policy of Governor Grant—A New Fibre—Pimento for Tanning PurposceIncrease of the British Fleet. KINGSTON, May 17, 2809, The change which Is rapidly coming ever Jamaica under the administration of Sir John Peter Grant ts hardly within the comprehension of any one who has not been an cyewitness to what has been pass- ing here since Uctober, 1865, when a rebeliion broke out among the biacks of St. Thomas in the Past. Sir John found the island on his arrival in a state of almost hopeless decay, tts credit blasted,and Earo- peans and Aimertcans fying from tte shores in de- spair—swallowed up by debt and the inhabitants groaning under taxation, and lamenting stagnation iu trade and a want of industry among the people. Now, by a changed order of things, estates have almost miraculously revived; the island trea- sury has recouped ttself, and is in @ very flourishing condition, Europeans and Americans are now Mocking to develop the much neglected resources of the island. The government ts advancing money for improvements in Kingston and Falmouth, and trade and manufactures are springing up in localt- tes where such things have been unknown for gene- rations. Tn short, Jamaica ii ly on the way to become the greatest and most thy in the West India group. The reception which Sir John Peter Grant received 1m his recent trip through the isiand indicates the appreciation of his adinintstration felt by the people, and bia practical suggestions to the various locai authorities were weil received, and there is reason to believe, will be acted on to ie gre: advantage of the isiand. In one parish (Portland, when the magistrates began to bemoan their pov- erty and crave help from the government, sir Joha toll chem that “Heaven heiped those who helped themeeives,” and strongly advised them to avandon ail idea of government doing anything for them; for unleas they themselves made some effurt wo improve their coudition they were never likely to be better than they were. ‘hey told him of their rich bat an- cuitivated acres ; their rivers teenmug with Osh, yet no one to cateh them; their highiands covered with game, yet noone to shoot it; thas they were sur. rounded by weaith, yet they were living la the midst of poverty aad distre sir Jona eauied as he tis teped to tae bale of Woe, aud quietly oid them that it they would live they must labor, and if they would prosper they must be active, tadusirious and perse+ vering iu turning to @ profitable account the rick lands, rivers and forests with which Providence had | so abundantly blessed (hem in Pordand, There are some important enterprises on foot here, tn which capitaiisis are luvestiag iargely, with good prospects. une gentleman is about erecting in this cily, at a cost Of £4,000, a large factory for the working up of the cocoon vine.

DOMINGO. Condition of the Country—Disappearance of the Paper Currency=Maneuvres of Cabral The Annexation Feeling—Trade with Eue rope. Sr. Domino, May 20, 1869. Icomplained in my last—of the 12th instant oz thereabouts—that the rains were over due, but had notcome. Since then they have been up to theip duty. Nearly every day or night we have had at least one lively shower, and the crops and pasture are smiling gratefully in return, The roads will no® improve as kindly as the vegetation, however, though a courier from the confines of Haytl, whom Icaught on the wing, says they are in flue order from here to Azua. This courler brings letrers worth reading, not from their intrinsic importance nor their literary value, but for their curiously confused statements, One minister writes that his “governe ment” will unite with that of tue Do:miuicaa republia in raising the flag of the United States if President Baez will share with his neighbor the loan he has lately obtained from Ragland. Anocher of the min- isters expresses his “loyal desire for a lasting peaco with our Dominican brothers? bat there can be no peace so long as the “evil disposed traiiors of Santle ago and Porto Piata are plotting to scil their country to the Yankees.” So he proposes to use a just pore tion of the English loan to extinguish the Cabral-Cacos and establish a peaceful and united goverument oves the whole island. These ave not o.ticial leiters—else 1 might have missed the pleasure of reading them— but the private communication of views to be acted upon In case the Dominican President should enter- tain chem, ‘Che point of tae joxe 1s that ** this gov- ernment’? was not yeu in existence, bul proposed to orgauize very Soon—cnat is, early in May. ‘The chiefs of this comimg government had, it wou.d seem, eituer failed to compare notea, or agreed (to disagree, There were more teters by this courier, but one and all ignored ave, wi | wimttea tiat the sews of war are sadly wanting in Haytt. ‘The issue of paper muuey, watch has hitherto beer the main element of revolucon making. ts played out.

For a time each success iul chief would try the virtues of @ special Lig be taken in preference at the Custom Houses, bat one and all were finally overdone and repudiated. ‘Thus the masses—on whom the evils of deprectation always lell most severely—have coaceived a deep rooted aversion to government currency. The pro- mise to redeem with sliver tho Cabral issue was the staple of the Seybo attempt at revulution about the beginning of January, but even that bait did not bring out 200 people, and the aifair was snuffed out in a week. General Cabral entered the Dominican territ nearly three months ago, and has been left in t possession of the depopulated border belt; but bi neither gets further mto the country nor is driver eutirely out of it. Letters from both sides have quietly slipped into this city, each claiming to have had skirmishes (they cali them batties), in whi each asserts itself signalivy victorious; but the vi of their victories may be estimated from this fact— not a dozen men have been Killed or taken on oe | side up to May 3, the very lass date of relad! accounts. ‘The news that Congress adjourned without tnvit ing the Dominican republic to enter the Umon WwW! @ great disappointment here, Any number of Ame! can fi been founa, or made, to be in reat ness to flaunt on the arrival of the first United Sta ship-of-war.
