JAMATCA PAPERS.

Since the arrival- of the Manly, a -variety of
rumours bare been afloat res-pecting art eZpedi-
ti,,n to be sent from this island to the American
coast, hut nothing positive has transpired on
the .subject. The report generally believed (and
which .seems to be strengthened by a number of
vessels of easy draft ,of water being required for
his Majesty's 'service,. to obtain which ever en-
deavour is making), is, that about two thousaud
men, in which number .is to be inclUded the
West -India Regiment, are to be dispatched from
this island to St. Augustine, the chief town of
East Florida, front whence they will co-operate
with the Indians, under Col. Woodbine, in often •
sive operations against time Americans in that
neighbourhood. Should this be an actual fact,
their can be little doubt of their success, as the
British have been by every means assisting COL
Woodbine with arms and ammunition, and. he has
been very fortunate iu all his plans for.the an-
noyance of the Americans.

Since the conclusion of the Peace_ in Europe,
we learn that upwards ofloo vessels have-arrived
at • St. Bartholomew's, from different ports in
France, all laden,with wines and other products
of that country.

By the Electra, we learn that Bolivar and Na-

Letters from the River Plate are received to the
ISth of September. Great exertions are making
by the Government of linerios Ayres, subsequent
to the consolidation of their power by the acqui-
sition of Monte Video, to terminate the calamities
of war, and to re-establish commerce. Two "De-
pnties had been nominated, one of which was the
Ex-General 13t.:LGRANo, to proceed to Europe, to
congratulate FERDINAND on
.his accession. The
instructions to BELGRANo and his Colleague are
said to be to concede the supremacy of Spain, with
the condition that the native Spaniards are not
to be allowed civil amid military appointments in
the Colonies; that the Colonists themselves are

to Lold such official situations, witli the exclusive
privilege of taxing-their own Provinces; and with
the advantitge of freedom of comnieree and navi-
g4tion with the whole world. Au armistice was
to be concluded between General PIZUELA and
the Independent Party, which was stationed at.
Salta, in Tucuman, the cornmencieusent of the
high country in the Western territories of this
Peninsula.

The present seems to be the age of hoaxing ; but
it is difficult to account for tt►e motive of the
hoaxing account of LovkokovE's death in the
Buth Paper, as it was as destitute. of I►umour as
of truth. The respectability of the individual, as
well as of the Jourual in which. the article nas
inserted, rendered hOth unfit objects foe such an
abortive attempt at pleasantry.
It is somewhat _curious that ;Ur. HINKLEY,
whose 'extraordinary death is mentioned in an-
other part of our paper, and whose penurious
habits were so well known, was ready enough to
patronize institutions calculated to promote the
Fine Arts, to which, on several occasions, he wa3
a liheral. contributor.

Extract of a Letter from Newtownlimaiady, in the County
' of Londonderry, dated Nov. 2.5, 1914.

cc On lite night of Wednesday the 23d instant,
the house_of Miphael M'iNichol, of Glack, within
four miles of this town, was broken open by a
body of armed meti. M'Nichol having been a
short time before robbed of his arms, was inca-
pable of making any defence, and :the merciless
banditti, alter breaking his_ wife's torn), and cruel-
ly wonading several of his children, murdered'
himself, and afterward mangled. his body in a
shocking manner. Two causes are atsigned for
this barbarous act—McNichol having' refused to
become a member of a treasonable association,
and his having taken the farm he occupEed, after
another man had been dispossessed of it.

CRIM. CON.

KING'S BENCH, THIS MORNING.
DYOTT v. DVNII.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff
against the :lefendant, for criminal ,conversation
with the plaintiff's wife. It appeared from the
evidence, that in September last the defendant
became acquainted with Mrs. DvciTT at Bath ; his
visits were very frequent, and soon afterwards she
went to Sloane-street, whither the defendant ac-
companied her. Both parties then removed to a
house in the Rules of the King's Bench, at both
of which places it was very clearly proved that
an adulterous intercourse had taken place. The
defendant, on the 11th October, was confined as
a prisoner in the Fleet, where he now rethains;
and it was proved by the Keeper, that Mrs. Dv°Tr
visited the defendant upwards of twenty times,
and that so late as last night she slept there, and.
quitted it this morning about 8 o'clock.
There was no defence, and Lord ELLENI3O-.
ROUGH, after summing op the evidence with great
accuracy and minuteness, left it to the Jury to
say what -quantum of• damages (as far as pe-
cuniary damages could. do so) would compensate
for the injuq which the plaintiiT had sustained
the loss of his dotiiestic comfort, and that o'f
his three children being deprived of the society of
their mother,

Thc.- Jury consulted together a few minutes, and
returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Datnages,
Five Thousand Pounds.

In the Court of Common Pleas this morning,
an action was brought lly R. .KNIGHT: E9q.
of Warwickshire, agaifist. the Right lion. Lord
MwonLETos, for Criminal Conversation with Mrs.
KNIGHT.- The Trial' was going on at th latest
hour to which our Reporter could reinan in
Court, and therefore we cannot state the result
of this Curious case. •
