The Course of the Packets will be for Barbadoes, St..

All Letters for the Leeward Islands will be conveyed from Barbadoes by a Brig to Dominica and Antigua, at each of Which Island she will take up Letters for Great Britain and Ireland, as well as for Jamaica, and proceed to St. Kitt's, where she will deliver them to be forwarded by the English Packet, upon her Arrival from Grenada.

This is a temporary Plan, 'till another upon larger Scale can be carried into Effect.
