PARTICULARS of NI ACGREGOR'S‘ DEFEAT (From " The Jamaica Courant" of May IS.) RFcApTuRE ncip.To BELLD, AND TOTAL DE- F::.AT OF SIR GREGOR Iq , GREGOR'S FOR• ES BY THE, ROYROYALISTS.. The intelligence was received by his Ma jesty's ship Sapphire, Captain Hart, which arrived at Port Royal in twelve days from Porto Bello This event took 'lace on the Ist inst. It appears that General HortS, with from 1,000 to 1,200 Rien, proceeded from Panama on the 210 tilt. and reached Porto Bello, after a most fatigning march, on- the evening, of the 30 It. IGarly on the morning of the Ist, it having rained incessantly during the whole night, the Spanish troops vere led on in two divisions, one com manded by General Ho 4, a very brave otEcer, an'il the wher by Colonel Santa Cruz, and they film iced and surprised the place at six o'clock, while Macgregor mid his I ronpi were in tbeit beds._ Ile, however, escaped in his shirt, by le , iping from a w;ndow o. the G,ivernment•honse, 20 feet high, throwing rnattrass to light ott, ;Olinger , itoo the sea, 9n.1 swam to a. , chooncr the harbour, whence lie wAs safety conveyed to the bug Hero. Colonel . O'Hara, with several other officers, endeavoured to rally the troop, aml make what resistance they could, but vehicle stris quite onavai)ing, as they were soon over powerk a, 100 nitn hating been either .killed or wounded in this unequal straggle. Colonel O'Hara was severely wounded, and died iat a few, 'tours after. Seventy officert and 300 men were made prisoners I.)y the Royal forces, and all the baggage also fel! info their hands Two English women wure killed in the engagement. pri soners were ordered to Panama, where, we learn, they are to be confined tntil their flame fate _he decided by the Government of Spain. -Such ar.; tisans as may be among rh-.m are however, it is salt', to he compelled to work so soon as tools can be procured to Pliable them to exercise their respective trades. aivernor Lopez, elevated to that situation by General i'sl l. Gregor, was killed in bit. bed. Many of those who had escaped were afterwards found dead in the woods, and others were made prisoners, and brought back to the to,wo. Snell has been the disastrous end of this long. talked of expedition, and which, for a moment, oltained a stniil advantage, to lae afterwards. en tirely • deslroyed—and that advantage, it seems, happened from the dastardly conduct of a cowardly Governor, who abandoned the place without fir ing a shot. This man, however, wlin fi , :d with Lie rnotn.l and plate to Chagres on that occasion, was immediately made prisoner and sent to Pana ma, under a strong escort of troops, where be would be tried by a COurt-martial for his cow ardice, Not withstanrFng the terrible ire of grape and musket shot, which was kept up fora time from the troops who were rallied by Colonel O'Hara, the Royalists sustained but a very small loss. Letters from Porto Bello represent Sir Gregor as a better leaper than a General ; for instead of taking refuge in a fort to defend himself and his brave followers, on the first alarm be immediately abandoned his people, and fled on board the Hero, which immediately made her escape. She after wards appeared off Chagres, and discharged some guns at the fart, but which were returned in a style that induced her speedily to decamp. It is conjectured she was, to proceed to. St. Andreas. The I ►► d e pendent flag was still kept flying at Porto Dello, as a decoy to vessels bound thither to join Sir Gregor. General llor6 was to proceed for Panama on the (lilt instant. This Officer distinguished him self in Spain, and is,cousidered a very brave and enterpeizing officer. Colonel Santa Cruz was to be left in Porto Bello, as Commandant of that place. Btfore these Generals left Panama, they laid an embar;:o on all vessels in that port, and an interdiction , to any communication with Ilse town by land. General O'Sdrio and suite arrived in the San phire, and is to proceed hence to Spain with 4isputches, giving an account of the recapture of Pot , o Bello. 'Previously to_the sailing of the Sapphire from Tort° Bello, reports reached that place from Pa• tiama, that Lord Cochrane had made an attack on Lima, and was beat otf. Confiance brig of war, Captain Mont gomery, was dispatched from Porto Bello on the 4th for this island, with accounts of the recap. lure of that place.

We received this morning. the radii Papers of Tuesday last.—The discussion of the Articles Of the Budget of Ways and Means was continued in the Chamber of Deputies through the Sitting of Monday. An Amendment, proposed by M.

JUNE N.—Considerable bands of robbers are committing great ravages in seve ral parts of Germany. A banditti, nearly 100 strong, recently committed a number of robbe ries in the environs of Biberach, and entirely 'pillaged the village of Fischbach. A corps of cavalry from Ulm succeeded in putting down these marauders ; but not without a vigorous re sistance, and some bloodshed on both sides. AuGsawto, JUNE 21',—The fittest of the pic ttues from the Gallery of Malmaison have been put up to sale within these few "days, by order of the Duchess de St. Len, but there not being. many amateurs present, the greater part of the pictures remain unsold. " NAPLE3, Jtn , :s 10.—There is nothing certain known with regard to the effects of the eruption of Mount Etna. The lava, up to the 4th instant, flowed in the valley of Bur, and did not cause any damage to the cultivated lands." The Question of ParlVAncentary Reforinwasla3t night; of course, brought forward by Sir F. Burt ne;rT, who urged all the old cutand dry arguments in support of the necessity of re-moulding or netv. modelling the representation of the Peot►le, but the Baronet did not propose any specific plan of his own, and seemed, indeed, to intro duce the subject because be was expected to do so, and with a sort. of languor that did lidt seem so matt to 'grit: twin iinittlessritts of siiccess, as a real indlfrerenre to the cause: We flail this as a favourable omen of returning good sense, arising, we should be glad to belloe, from a con%ietion, that according to the homely adage, it is best to " Let welt alone." — The Parliamentary Representation, as it stands, practicably anseret s every purpose of security to the State, and freedom to the People, and there fore it would be little short of insanity to resort to specious theories, and hazard the loss of posi tive and essential advantages. The House thought so, and therefore passed to the Ordeta of the Day, by a majority of 153 to 58. LeEps.—We have received assnra2mes from most respectable authorities at 'Leeds, stating, that a paragraph which appeared in The Sun of the 21st ult. contained the grossest exaggerations of the posture of affairs in that town and the neigh bourhood. Nye understand that a sintila'r article ap peared in The Courier. We can only plead in excuse, that dangcr to which all Conductors of Newspapers are exposed upon matters that are calculated to ex cite particular attention. Nothing, except the 66. ginal communication of trot h;can gi vs us more plea sure than the acknowledgment and correction of error, when we have been misled. We this morn ing received better \ information, and we hasten to assure the public, that we were imposed upon, as ire conclude, by artful traitors, tall() thought to give importance to their cause by representing it as more formidable than it is in reality, in ot- der to secure their deluded prostiliyes, and to con firm those who were wavering. Fram the infor mation which we received this morning, we have reason to believe that the Magistracy of Leeds and its vicinity are loyal in their principles and firm in their duty. It is with much satisfaction we add, that there are two well conducted Papers in that Town, one The Leeds intelligincer ot long established reputation, and the other, The Leeds Independent, a Journal of congenial principles which is using fast ion) similar esteem, in. amity with its loyal brothir. The reputation cf these Journals, and the success which attends them, ore gratifying proofs ot the -loyalty and true patriotism of the Inhabitants in general.— Ai to the other Newspaper of the sainh town, which is employed in the incnictulon of very dif ferent principles, we trust that the counteraction of the two Journals that we have mentioned, effectitally defeat its obvious purposes, and that the good old town of LEF.b4 mill maintain tts character for public spirit, tree consttutlmai principles, and an unshaken zeal for the security of the State and the happiness of the people. The STOCKPrifiT UNtotx, and -other Seditious, Combina:ious against the existing Government, evince that daring spirit of Jactobirrist s ia from whit It the worst consequences may be expected, Elutes - , timely and vigorous measures arc adopted. The Opposition Writers have often scoffed and sneered at the word Jacobin, as if it had no definite mean ing ; but the horrors which were conturitted in France by the Miscreants who were proud of the name, are sufficient to sire%;v that its import is of the most diabolical and destructive tendency. Upon this subject we shall subjoin an Extract from The Correspondent, a Dublin Newspaper of well merited popularity, for its good sense, know ledge, public spirit, and loyalty, which, adverting to the subject of the Stockport Union, makes the following pertm . entretnarkw‘ upon the void in question : it is very Much the mode to attempt to throw ridicule "won the term << Jacobin," and to bespeak it upon all occa sions as the standing reproach with which popular complaints are to be answered ; but, unfortunately, it is still an appli. cable term, not , ,vithstanding the sner at it;—.end, if ever it had a meaning, during the era of blond and rapine, and des-, potism, when France was in her phrenzies, it has a meaning not less significant and appropriate now—that measures are recommended, and steps are taking to agitate •Engiand, precisely such in principle and in character as ushered in that hideous succession of unspeakable crimes and wicked nesses, which buried France 'in woe for a quarter of a cen tury. Let every man who feels a heart within his 'breast open it to the claims of his countrymen's distress—and he who has a purse to ecinimand, let him, with the virtuous in discretion of charity, cast it into the coma - ion fund, that soft feriug industry may be supported, white it is depressed under the enmity of circumstances. Bat, in the name of God, let us have no poling about artificers that assemble to make iverumcnts—let us have no canting • about mtshapzcs, nstalled as Lrgislators--let as nut have the ignorance of the country impannelled to try the Government—nor those pas sions which laws but vainly attempt to controul at heat, as sembied in Convention, to denounce property, and to ,:on deron itto'arbitrary distribution. The thrift first Articles which 'f,resent thernseves •in The Stochport Unirm speak volumes. They avow the .princ;ipes upon which all the • UniceTsai Sl,frage Clubs are instituted ; they proclaim to the Government the necessity of ,vigilance and vigour ; and tip all the friends of real libeity, the neces sity ofuniting all the civil and moral means which aritisli scin. ciety affords, to preserve the Constitution arid the Country against such refa'rious and criminal lolly." The preceding article must have been written by the Esdi or of The Correspondent, before be bad. beard of the atrocious tsttewpt to raise the water la rebellion agaiost the Gov,trutuent, and to Mite them to poison the minds of tbt:ir chadrerl with a detestation of the LAWS and of eve r / sacred ordinance that binds matticind 51) : ciety, and secures the State from the arts of w icket' then, whose only aim is to rise upon the ru ins of their country. It may be expected, that th e women who 'have . been tempted to desert 1116 modest privacy which' best becomes the sex at all times, must be disposed to abhor all loyal Oleo and to ass o ciate with natly lint rebels and traitors. From suet' associations, what offspring can be ell' pected, lout such as will be trained up in:evi l). species of villainy, and who can tell how far tfi e diabolical contagion , may extend ? Again an' • again then, tee earnestly exhort our Rulers t° , stop th© progress 'of. this horrible jacobinjcai i n* feet ion, which threatens corruption among all t he lower orders of Peopte, and may, of course, 11 01 ' 56 speedily stopped, entail inevitable ruin ou ta ts great Country, GREAT NEWS rot: SPECULATORS !—The let ore of the new State of Illinois has manifeste d a degree of wisdom and discretion that will long astonish the world !
