We hove received the following extremely inte-
re.toig letter. It is from en Officer of Genteel
Nl•Gregnr's expedition, who is third in command :

" On board the Petersbargh Packet, off Aux Cayes,

lb. latter part of the passage (in the trades) I exerted myself
rii much, mod was so ably seconded by my officers, that I
had the detachment (with the exception of arms) perfectly
mealy to take the Aeld, folly accontred and appointed, and
of this moment have not a single sick 1550 ur officer on
heard. Vie found the Onyx and the Mc* at enclitic, and
was received by then, with three Jimmy cheers. After riving
the rririsite orders, and wiling the necessary arrangements
on board, I went on shore with four Officers, and waited an
the General, by whom I was aunt cordially received. He had
only arrived, with Lady Itl'Gregor and suite, oboist nine days
sin' six before the Oyler, from New Pftwidenew,
fr wlo tire we are in daily flirtation of large supplies of

Goveromrot of New Grenada are now here; one of them
(Dim Juan Elias Lopez, I ite Governor of Carthagena) I was
etiosiey recommended to by an kzent in Loudon (Don Jose
Maria del Rent), and on my introduction Whim was received
by boa in the most flattering manner; and on perusal of
lion Rear. litter, I was amured by him that I sleight firmly
r- ly on the utmost support and protect rim from the Govern-
'neut. The other Alenitimr (lion Mariann) I have not yet
seen, as hr 'nodes at Port-au•Frinte, but is shortly expects d
here. The ei levant Governor of Cartharna is but recently
nrrived from Jamaica, where he lots been in constant coo-
milincoion a ith the Patriots of New Grenada, who were
anxiously looting out for the appearance of the British
shire, and are prepared instantly to seise us the Spanish
t.i..vanor., and assert their freedom.
" Vie hare been most kindly received and treated by the
float authorities here, and, indeed, by all ranks since our
rnival it. fore I left England I purchased the materials of

N•iIVC Gne.•rontr, the General Commanding, and the Com-
mandant, assts all say officers iii full uniform, was treated
to the hantib•bniret manner. I obtai•rd permission to pitch

'• The only troops (Native) now in Aux Cayes, and its

outlet the iummand of the little black G 1 to put down

" The people here arc particularly partial to the British,
and they are enthusiastic in the cause of liberty, sad um
mine in their hopes of snreess, from the political silvan-
ties that would accrue to them from the freedom of trade
with the Spanish Alain.
le General *Gregor went yesterday to Portia-Prince,
the cipital, from whence he is expected in about a week; be-
fore his d, ',snare lie issued orders highly /altering to me
and my Officers, and apvinted the Regiment to the honour-
stile post of the van-guard of the army. The Hamilton and
Monarch, two of our transports, are daily looked fur, and
also two from Ireland; the General has decided, imme-
dist, ly uu flair arrival, to avail himself of the favourable
runs, to make an immediate descent on the fipauish Maim,

The wont letter. in a postscript. notices the re-
ceipt of the intelligence before communicated, of
the capture of the Cadiz squedron, and adds, that
the Spanish and English merchants at Jamaica,

Inms of dollars which they were getting over laud
to Porto Bell% from the country about to be-
tome the theatre of war, from wheace thee were
unxiou.ly expecting it at Kingston, and were
alarmed lest APGrel,eor should intercept the con,

i,.terference to prevent the expedition landing on

his inability to take any part in the traavactious

success to General NPGregor. The Aral question
asked by Crown Parker was, if General M-Gregor
