The attack appeared too hazardous and partial to justify approbation; and that o9icer. instructed by experience, resolved not to hazard the reduction of his force by detachment.— The Fabian, or aVashidztonitin Istein, in short, was adopted; and the President of the Republic -reined inflexible in maintain. ins it. He rooted not risk a decisift hattle with half his army ; but await the co-operation of the expedition train Nlargaretta.— Nevertheless. he yielded to the importunities of Parr. and al lowed hint for once to indulge in his chivalrou . projects.

This was the very movement which Part awaited ; on its eze • entice he calculated his success.

Opening their pas cage 14 the rear, they wheeled about, and penetrated again to the front, with prodigious slaughter.

As boon ai intelligence was iteeived at Ca thagetot that Mac gregor had taken Porto-Bello, a Council was coov.snotl to der of the propriety of delattching a force to retake it; but after they haul deliberated for 3Ortle time, it was suggested that ti•ey had no vested; capable of moseying such a force, and the idea was therefore abandoned. Five corner, whose husbands were either killed or taken mi. soners at the rcrapture ut Porto-Bello. and 3 children, who were brought there in the Coitfiairee, were sent on Tlinrsday to the public hospital of this city : one of them was wounded in toe neck by a nnuket hail ; another is the wife of a printer. of the name of Cox, shoos Sit Gregor brought with him front En gland, with a few printing materials, and who was wounded in his apartments, made prisone, and marched to Panama. Ili. wife and the other women were marched out of the town along with the soldiery ; but after proceeding a few miles, they becanic fatigued, ant sat dawn on the road - side, refasir.g to proceed further; upon which it was dee:anal expedieut to send them back to the town', and tkey were perninted to depart in the C'Jtyillucr. This person, wl.o is intelligent, states, that oa bearing some firing on the looming of the attack, she looked out of her window. which was on the parade, when she saw the Spanish troops led into the square by the Alealde of the place, whom she ksxs.v, and who had remained in the town after its .capuire by 3.PGregor, but who had left it late the night before, site: however. supped with the English offizers.

She further reply. seats. that the English troops had been a state of insubora . .. nation, boidering on mutiny, fir many days previous to the re capture. freer •the neunerines disappeintinents with which they had met, having been almost starved from the manor they em• barked in Englioal ; that many of the officers had already sent in their cointristinns to 31•Gregm, expreesiiig their determina tion so quit his ....nice; and it Was iiretty g'znera:ly sunoiietl among them, for some days before the attack, that l‘Pt;regor himself intenled to decamp clandestinely, fur it was stated that he had obtained and packed up several henna of money, which he had sent on houril the /hit. This, perhaps, amounts for the celerity of his retreat on that memorable occasion The Independent flag was still kept ilyiag at Porto-Bello, as a decoy to vessels bound thither to join S:r Gregor. The first auroras of Sir Gregor wan owing to die infamous conduct of a cowardly Governor, who abstuloned the place with • out tiring a shot.

EW The following animated description of the esta blishment of Mr. Owen, at New I,unark, has been received by a gentleman in London titan it friend, who is making a tour through Scotland : I.:mark. dune SI, IRIS. I had made great haste here, determht 11 not to low the advan tage which the long sexcession of rainy weather would give we sn seeing the celebrated Falls of the Clyde , and, Leta ithstancling the exaggerated des-riptions in the serious TcorcUrre' Ger; , /.e of this andsothe: r.or.o.ities in Sootlarid, I have ben highly _gra tified. 1 bball rot take my your time, boa ever, in telling of the different menwaion4 of dolight aid of 'terror which I here experi enced; first, is the walk to the Falls throigh the beaduful grounds of Lid; Mary Koss. till siii:6en!y awokered Irmo n:yriWer.c, b y the twi c e,, synod of many waters, I was standing ; 00 the pretnpu ous bank of nlesrful and giddy height, and down below, thruigh the misty aivl 4aagied Libya'. I looked on the awful cauldron of Cora Lynn. I have a much greater cuiobity than this to tell you of, the beauticAtf which, tlitugh horn to blosh unseen, must be wen to be belltvad, as they defy all dtserirtion; ineon the moral and inlinireiy superior beauties a the ri;l4re of New Lanark. which I visited on my return frinu the Falb.

'the system therefore is this:—The beU ?legs at six in the morning, Lied every body runs to their post in the mantifacowy ; and at nine they run ca fast out to get their breakfaet, for which they are allowed an hour; again they go in, arid are allowed another hone for dinner at Is u o'clock. At half past six they leave off work for that tlay, and go to play ; and as they always keep the clock half an hour too fast it e. really Ally six u clod: by the day, end at this time of the year only conceive, what a long even iag this give them. At half .1 vast ten a bell rings, tuerely to let the slU.t to kunir what o'clock it is, and they may go bed or not, as they at. But the 1700 ma nufacturers whom Mr. OWGSI employs, have got 330 children.

You may guess my surprise tit Est ofoino in. to see a parcel of these children dressol in the highland kilt, without idiots or stockings, learning to dance, in a fine noon as large as that at the London Tuvern, with n regular dancing master and liddles.!
