West Indies & Canada. New schedule of mail service

IN Compliance with the unanimous Request of a Meeting of West India Merchants in the City of London, the following Alteration will be made in the Plan which has been recently adopted for dispatching the Packets to the West Indies, and will be carried into Effect till further Notice.

A Mail will be made up at this Office on the first Wednesday of every Month for Jamaica, and also for the Leeward Islands, with which a Packet will be dispatched immediately from Falmouth to touch at Barbadoes on her Outward Bound Passage, and leave there the Letters for all the Leeward Islands, and then proceed directly to Jamaica, from whence she is to return, after staying Fourteen Days, and no more, by the Windward Passage to England.

Another Mail will be made up for the Leeward Islands on the Third Wednesday in every Month, with which a Packet will proceed, first to Barbadoes, and from thence to St. Vincent's, Grenada, Dominica, Antigua, Montserrat, Nevis, St. Kitt's and Tortola, and, after having staid no longer than forty-eight Hours at Barbadoes, St. Vincent's, Grenada, Dominica, Antigua and St. Kitt's, and Twenty-four Hours at each of the other Islands, she is to return directly to England with the Letters she may have collected for Great Britain and Ireland.

All Letters for the Leeward Islands, which may be sent by the Jamaica Packet on the first Wednesday in every Month, will be conveyed from Barbadoes, either by the Government Vessels of the respective Islands, or by a Brig to be specially employed for that Purpose, in order that the Answers may be prepared against the Arrival of the Leeward Island Packet from hence of the Third Wednesday in every Month.

From the First Wednesday in March to the First Wednesday in October inclusive, each Packet going to New York is to touch at Halifax, and stay there two Days and no longer, in her Way to New York; and each Packet coming from New York in the same Months is to touch at Halifax, and stay there two Days, and no longer, in her Way to England.
