JAMAICA PAPERS. CURACOA, MARCH 7. On the morning of the 18th of February last, in telligence was received at La Guayra from Caraccas that General Morillo had left the town of Calaboza, with about forty hussars, on a reconnoitring party, from which he had not returned after an absence of twelve hours ; that no one knew what was become of him, but that strong apprehensions were entertained that he and his party had been made prisoners— which sad tidings caused great alarm, and made every one anticipate a general detest. A few hours afterwards the report was contradicted, and another one prevailed, which was, that from seventy to eighty light cavalry having led their horses to a river near the town of Calaboza, had suddenly been surprised by the enemy, who, finding them dismounted and not prepared, cut every man down ; that, in conse quence, the Commander in Chief had attacked their advanced guard with about 400 men, but that the result was not known,—On the day following, seve ral families came down from Caraccas. with their trunks, bedding, Ste. who stated, that the communi cation between the Spanish ormy and the capital was entirely cut off, the enemy having got in the rear of Morino, and consequently between hen and Caraccas. By two o'clock p. m.. it was said that the enemy was within a short distance from the last city, conse quently every one began to pack up and prepare for embarkation, which was nut into execution during the afternoon and the wbote of the night, so that by ten o'clock of the 20th of February, most of the fa milies were on board the different vessels in the road. The confusion was indeed very great, every one struggling to be taken on board the first. Great sums of money were paid for boats and launches.— At three o'clock p. m. a Proclamation was published, advising the people to return to their houses, as there was not the least danger. An hour afterwards, a dispatch from Caraccas was made public, which sta ted, that Morillo had defeated and dispersed the In surgents, who had attacked him three times with 2,000 cavalry and 1,500 infantry ; that, after the third attempt having proved unsuccessful, General Morillo in his turn ordered his brave soldiers to charge them with the bayonet, when they killed be tween five and six hundred, made many prisoners. and took a great'many arms, ammunition, &c. whicH news was received with every demonstration of joy, and the guns round he batteries were discharged. It took four days to get on shore all the property that had been embarked.—What is remarkable on this occasion is, that even all the Creole families fled from those whom they formerly conceived to be their protectors, which would seem to prove that they are by this time undeceived, and convinced of the truth that the legitimate Government, which at present protects them, will afford them security, which they cannot expect from the other.
