Our Chiefs in this Island and the Europeans, particularly at the Ha lvanuah, feel very uneasy, because they know that the Isle - of Cuba will follow the fate of Mexico ; and should the Patriots keep• •pcissession of Vera Cruz, the city •of Mexico and the whole pro. vince will speedily be in their power.—The VICE v, with all his 'army, were actually coin- I polled to rest in the city of Mexico for two reasons— ' Ist, that he feared his whale force was insufficient to attack the rebels ; and 2dly, he discovered that if , the arty went out of the city the inhabitants meant to take possession of It, for account of the new or der of , things.—Thus you see that the famous plan of inediation t on the part of England, between Spain and refractory Colonies, "Oil go.,.into operation too r • tite, .because Mexico ,was -Ow part of America fl that was supposed would. be the last that would separate from the Government, of Spain ; and the English Ministers have been so grossly deceived by the false statements published in the Regency Gazelle, at Cadiz, that she considered the Vise. roy, VENEOAS, more securely situated than any Go vernor in all America, The official accounts received sere from the Ifavannah on this interesting subject, Are, of coarse, kept profoundly secret ; but private letters have developed sufficient to make certain tier tons wear long (aces ; aqd the circumstance of a lipanish 74 gun-ship having thought proper to rim , away, as well 'as the merchant vessels from Vera Cruz, too plainly indicates, that the news we had :Jodie time since of the overwhelming force of the Pa-1 triots, or insurgents, is founded on truth. /ROM THE KINGSTON ROYAL GAZETTE, FEB. 22. It is an undoubted fact that, since the surrender if all the enemy's colonies ui the West Indies, to his Majesty's arms, more of their privateers have annoy. id British commerce, than at any previous period ; the piracies of these picaroons ought not, however, Ito be wholly placed to French account ; but they, in fact, form a part of the war waged against us by our honest friends, the Government and people of the U.S. of America. These vessels not only arm; fit, refit; and rebuild in _American ports, but actually - return to these ports to dispose of their plunder, while ships bearing his Majesty's flag are denied even the com mon rights of hospitality. The Americans have been suffered by far too tong - to panne, ivitfi impunity, a Most insolent and decidedly hostile "conduct. It is time they should be punished. 'lt would, perhaps, be not . too great a stretch of authority on the part of BMWs' Naval Commander to place, in a state of blockade, every American-port in which privateers have been fitted out against its ; ; fitr they cannot but be looked upon ash hostile ports; . _ .
