FROM JAMAICA PAPERS:

Kingston (Jam.) FEB. 4.

We, yesterday, had the pleasure of notifying to the public, in a bulletin, the restoration of peace with the United States of America. This intelligence was brought by His Majesty's ship Brazen, captain Sterling, which anchored at Port Royal yesterday morning from Plymouth; she left that port on the 30th of December, having on board despatches for Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane, with which we understand she proceeds this morning for the Mississippi.

We never observed the promulgation of any sudden political event to render such universal satisfaction to the inhabitants of this city, as did the announcement of the foregoing unexpected, important and gratifying information yesterday forenoon; every countenance instantaneously brightened from internal joy and satisfaction. Indeed the local situation of these islands in a high degree renders them dependent on the U. S. for the procuration of many important necessaries of life, and the means of shipping off the staple produce of the island.. that is of obtaining these indispensables at any thing like a reasonable rate. The exorbitant prices for the two last years, of American wood and dry provisions, such as are allowed importation here, will adduce ample testimony of the truth of this remark; and over and above the obviation of this evil, every philanthropic heart must beat with pleasure at the contemplation of an event, by which the shedding of human blood, between two nations springing out of one common stock, and speaking the same language, is thus happily arrested.

The present is an era eminently singular the whole of the civilized world is now in perfect peace! and that universal peace good will amongst mankind-which is the only policy consonant with religion, reason and humanity may long continue, must be the eternal and unalterable wish of every man who loves his country, or merits the appellation of a friend of humanity.
