Tribune, that the Spanish Royalist troops still main-
tain themselves in perigee, in the isolated citadel of
Vera Crux. which fort comprises all that Old Spain
now holds of what she once !proudly called "The
Indies." The teeneitxler of the Royalist troops
have concentrated at the Havannah, in which city
and its dependencies, several thousand European
soldiers are in arms; notwithstanding which force,
a duly rising of the Blacks was expected; indeed,

equally certain their assistance would be required.
The island of Cub* had been very healthy, but Je-

Port Royal.

We this day insert the Resolutions of the Board of
British Catholics, held an Saturday last, sod we
hope every inhabitant of nut these realms only, out
of the world will peruse them. They breathe a
spirit of liberty worthy of the descendants-of our
ancient Barons. They are the opinions of men," not
new in this country, but many of whose mitati• are*
enrolled in our brightest pages; and still these men,
full of the true and genuine principles of liberty,
Englishmen to their very back bone, are most tine
justly and most cruelly deprived of every political
privilege Of our Constitution. • .
We give likewise' an extract of a Rescriptlrout
