The following will be the periods of the steamers between Halifax (p. 122)
and Havannah, from which it will appear how well the whole will work
as regards all North America and all the West Indies; and also how
regularly and pointedly the return steamer from the Havannah (bringing
the Havannah and Tampico mails, should any accident have happened to
the Jamaica steamer), will call at New York for the replies to the
letters by the packet from Europe, arrived at that city two days
before her; and carry these forward to Halifax (giving two days to
stop at New York) in time to get the steamer with the homeward British
mails from that place to Fayal.

Sailing packets in these stations would depart and arrive at
corresponding periods, being able to be, if any thing, earlier forward
to Fayal; but always 15 days more on their respective voyages than the
steam-boats.
The steamer outwards from Barbadoes could land, and the homeward (p. 123)
bound packet take up the Haytian mails at Cape Henry, when the return
packet goes by the north side; and the _return_ Haytian mails could be
picked up at Jacmel, if the packet, _when a steamer_, calls, as she
may do, at that place on her voyage to Jamaica, preparatory to her
return by way of St. Jago and Cape Nichola to Fayal or Falmouth.
The distance and time of communicating between Barbadoes and Halifax
with steamers, by Jamaica and Havannah, would be,--
