TiIURSDAY, Jinn 17,

Advicn from Jamaica, to the 9th ultimo, con-
firm the capture of Porto Bello, not Puerto Ca.
hello, as was erroneously mentioned in former ac-
counts. The tatter is • tea-port on the coast of
Cancers; the former, • avo•port on the north coast
of the Isthmus of Darien, nearly opposite Panama,
This achievement was effected on the 10th of
April, by the troops under the command of Sir
Casaba M'GREGOR. It appear., that an express
arrived at Cartbagena, on the first of that month,
from General HOARE, at Panama, requesting the
Governor would send over five hundred men, to
protect Porto Bello and Chsgres against any at-
tempt of the lisourgents. This request, however,
swirl not be complied with, in consequence,
es it is alleged, of the troops being in a very muti-
nous state, not having ►eceived any pay fur the last
fifteen months. General M'Ottgaoß, immediately
after the capture, issued a Proclamation, stating,
" The army of New Grenada has covered itself
with glory. Porto Bello, the most famous fortress
of South America, could only withstand, a few
hours, the valour of your arms." It concludes in
the following strain :—" Solders !—Our first con-
quest has been glorious—it has opened the road to
fortune and additional fame. Panama invites our
approach—sod the South Sra shah soon behold
upon her 'bores the conquerors of the Isthmus 1"
A considerable quantity of military stores fell
into the hands of the captors.

The garrison consisted of 466 men, whites, mu-
lattos. and blacks. A number of the regular,* of
the Royalist army are sail to have joined the In-
surgent.. General M.Garmoa intended to push
forward immediately for Panama.

ligence in the following word* It becomes our

apprehends.

would league us with their oppressors mg limit a gr.
neroue people, who, after Iniq .afr. r.
Mgt, have at length appealed to Ilsiven and to
arms for redress.

After all that has been urged in cawine or the
Bill, we really are at 11 10911 to hind one ',oh,' aro..
ment to recommend it; ileclAnalt• m.y 'ls- in.
slagged in-.witticisins may he dealt out ; but wit
and declamation anoint recommend «hat is in ii.elf
injurious •and impolitie the other haiol, fit
the most powerful, and indeed unanswerable argil.
mews urged against the Bill.
Those whn advocate the measure have not at.
tempted to justify the conduct of our legitimate
Ally, the King of SPAIN; neither have they at.
tempted to question the conduct of the South
American Patriots. They have acknowledged,
what indeed cannot be denied. that the govern-
meta of FiRDIMAND in the Colonies has been
oppressive and tijnst, and that it was natural.
and far from being criminal in the inhabitant..
of those Colonies to demand, with arms, what
has been ever denied 'to their sisPieringa and sup-
plications—nay, further—to break their fetters,
and to disclaim allegiance to a Government that
has never protected and that has always oppressed
them.

Such sre the admissions that have been 'n•ule b•
his Majesty's Ministers: they are very inyortaar.
because, on their own skewing. they call on the Par.
hatnent to interfere against the oppressed. an I lot
favour of the oppressor. But they say it is an set
of necessity—the character of the country cone
cerned—we are bound by Treaty with the King of
SPAIN to prevent any assistance from heirig reu
(toed by the people of this country to the revolted
Colonies—suds therefore, though the Bill may be la
61111%14nd the rights of man. though it may be
against the commerce of Great Britain, snot against
the feelings of the English people, yet it is an act
of neceuity, and must be passed.

Now granting that such • Treaty does exist, and
that the meaning of that Treaty be precisely what
Milliliters have described it to he, eee the 111,11111011
in which they now stand—see the situation to a h:cli
the country would be reduced, if it were bound by
the acts of these men. Why did they ever con..
dude this Treaty ?—why Mil they enter into
Treaty against the known wishes of the F..iglieti
people—against the hest interests of En4lisl,
commerce—and again.% the established prieciples
of the common law ? We know that it is the pre.
rogative of the Crown to conclude Treaties, tent
we know also that the Moister who enters into an
injurious or disgraceful Treaty, is liable to im—
peachment.
But does this Treaty, concluded without their
knowledge, hind the Commons of England ? It
would be a moat unconstitutional doctrine to hull
that it dues. " The ppwer and jurisdiction el*
Parliament." soya Sir EDWARD COILS, "is ea
transcendent and absolute, that it cannot ha cm..
Hord, either for MOM'S or persons, within yny
bounds."—" It can," says BLACRSTONF.
every thing that i,, nut naturally imposeible." lit
coo, therefore, we say, vindicate the country ; it
eats save our commerce and our character Pions the
effects of this most injurious Treaty.

We revere the prerogative, but we cannot he.
have that the abuse of that power by Nlinivters co-
erces the Parliament, and binds the country to sub.
mit to what is impolitic, and what might be iijuri-
ous. Osi this subject we with quote the authority of
one of the sages of Engtand, a anon whose luminous
understanding and noble heart were ever devoted to
the glory and honour of his country and to the
libethrs of mankind—the immortal LOCKE, who..e
