Those dogs were brought here at the in (lance of the Genaial AfTembly of Jamaica, who j * lent one of their own members to procure them, c one of tUeir own (hips to convey them, and were t at the fele expense, It is most jjrange that the use I which the Spaniards made of bloodi,ounda%gaiiift v the Indian inhabitants of the Western world, (hould y be deemed by the Hon.
