JAMAICA PAPERS.
(Ptom the Kingston C.r..1,11e, May 22.)
As boon ai intelligence was iteeived at Ca thagetot that Mac
gregor had taken Porto-Bello, a Council was coov.snotl to
der of the propriety of delattching a force to retake it; but
after they haul deliberated for 3Ortle time, it was suggested that
ti•ey had no vested; capable of moseying such a force, and the
idea was therefore abandoned.

Five corner, whose husbands were either killed or taken mi.
soners at the rcrapture ut Porto-Bello. and 3 children, who were
brought there in the Coitfiairee, were sent on Tlinrsday to the
public hospital of this city : one of them was wounded in toe
neck by a nnuket hail ; another is the wife of a printer. of the
name of Cox, shoos Sit Gregor brought with him front En-
gland, with a few printing materials, and who was wounded in
his apartments, made prisone, and marched to Panama. Ili.
wife and the other women were marched out of the town along
with the soldiery ; but after proceeding a few miles, they becanic
fatigued, ant sat dawn on the road- side, refasir.g to proceed
further; upon which it was dee:anal expedieut to send them back
to the town', and tkey were perninted to depart in the C'Jtyillucr.
This person, wl.o is intelligent, states, that oa bearing some
firing on the looming of the attack, she looked out of her
window. which was on the parade, when she saw the Spanish
troops led into the square by the Alealde of the place, whom she
ksxs.v, and who had remained in the town after its .capuire by
3.PGregor, but who had left it late the night before, site:
however. supped with the English offizers. The Soimisti troops
having overwrite those of the English soldiery who were ex:rins-
ing in „he square, entered the ditferent lianas, 41110.1:; which w is
that of her lituband ; they tired though the &or.. then broke
open die room in which they were, stAbbal her husband in the
arm ; but on their making signs that they were unarmed, they
desisted front further violenca, and made her husband prifoner,
but showed nu incivility whatever to herself. She further reply.

nation, boidering on mutiny, fir many days previous to the re-
capture. freer •the neunerines disappeintinents with which they
had met, having been almost starved from the manor they em•
barked in Englioal ; that many of the officers had already sent
in their cointristinns to 31•Gregm, expreesiiig their determina-
tion so quit his ....nice; and it Was iiretty g'znera:ly sunoiietl
among them, for some days before the attack, that l‘Pt;regor
himself intenled to decamp clandestinely, fur it was stated that
he had obtained and packed up several henna of money, which
he had sent on houril the /hit. This, perhaps, amounts for the
celerity of his retreat on that memorable occasion
The Independent flag was still kept ilyiag at Porto-Bello, as
a decoy to vessels bound thither to join S:r Gregor.
The first auroras of Sir Gregor wan owing to die infamous
conduct of a cowardly Governor, who abstuloned the place with •
out tiring a shot. This man, however, who fled with Ins money
and ;dote to Chagrin on that occasion, was immediately made
prisoner, and sent to Panama under a strong. (seat of troops,
where he would he tried by a Courtruartial, for his cowardice.
Gen. o,osio. who arrived in the Snerkifr, is to preceed from
thence to Spain with despatches, giving aii ateount of the re-
capture of l'orto-Bells.
