" KINGsI OV, 'JAMAICA, JUNE 2s.—The schooner Eugenio,
Tamnbo, which salted from Port-Royal on Saturday- far the
City of Santo-Domin 20, we are sorry to state, ❑nfortti.nately
upset in a squall on Sunday tArtiing, off Mw ant Buy. her
crew were picked up by a boat from the ship RuO, Captain
G.sr, and taken on board that Vessel, from Whence they ar-
virtud in this city on Tuesday afternoon.
• '6 KIXOSTUS:, JAMAICA, JULY 5.—S.Ve Were m!sinfdrined
when we stated in our last that the Tyrian brig, of 10 gtins,
Captain Polutsm, had arrived on Friday se'nnight, after
seeing the Venezuelian schooner Condor clear of the coast.
It was the Beaver, of 10 gtins, Captain DUFF, from Santa-
Martha, but the"Tyrian also canoe into port on Saturday.
" The Esk post-sloop, of 20 guns, Captain LENNoes, sailed
fraut Port-Royal on Monday morning for Carthagena, in
search of a person who has committed some criminal act in
this city, and afterwards proceeded to that place.
" The ship Fame, Smyth, for London ; brig Dille of Wel-
lington, Chancellor, for Bermuda; sloop New-Loudon, Pratt,
for.Pritteipi ; Carvd, Anderson, for the Turtling• Keys; Ro-
bert,, Levy, for Falmouth; Friends, M'Lean, for Salt-Marsh;
Caroline, Randall, for Lucca ; and Thomas, James, fur Black
River, have•sailed•front Montego Bay.

" KINGSTON; .WiAte.l; JULY' t2.—On 9aturday the Endea-
t;our feil in with the brigantine Deco4verte, bound for Car-
thßgena, and, about fifty miles astern, spoke the Ey.4 post-
sloop, of 20 guns, under a heavy press of sail, in Chace of her.
The Endeavour informed Captain LENNocri of then hating
spoken her, and it was most probable she would overtake her
before getting into the above port. The Decouverte is the
vessel which we wentioned in our last the Eak had been sent

in pursuit of.
" By the passengers in the Velo: we learn, that the %Wire
frigate of 4t guns, Captain CARTERET, with 8 Spanish user-
cl:antinem.o uder her protection, anchored- off th'e Moro Castle,
riaraimab, on the 13th ult., and that the frigate sailed the
same afternoon for Port-Royal."
Eitedri the Jars air;: Courant of Jltly B.]
" We understand that the Commandant at Santa-Martha
intimated to Captain Dupe, of Majesty's brig Beaver,
Atilt!), after he had anchored, his wish that he would leare
that port.immediately, in consequence of an order lately issued
by the Viceroy of New Granada, prohibiting the entrance of
British men of war into the harbours of that Viceroyalty."

We are honoured, we perceive, with a tong
tirade in The Morning Chronicle of this day on the
subject of Spai►►, but as The Chronicle has not ven-_
tured to deny any of our facts, and has founded its

reasoning Oil its own misconceptions, it is not neces
sary that we shot!(( it this moment enter into any
elaborate comment. The fact is, that what we

said was in answer to the erroneous statements
of The Chronicle, and as what we said did not admit
of contradiction, The Chronicle was thrown off its
guard, and was somewhat ruffled in its temper.
The Chronicle, contrary to all practice between
s'ates, seems to consider the preliminary Lases of
a treaty, which bbd never gone any further, as
binding as a treaty itself. Where it learned such
national policy we know not. Certainly not ip
any book or in any national practice. Instead of
entering into the state of thing* at the present
moment, Tice Chronicle goes some years back, and
refers to what passed between Mr. CANNING
and Admiral APODACA, which has nothing to
do with the subject in hand. As to the
confiscation of the three Spanish frigates,
The Chronicle does not seem to be at all conver-
sant with the history of that business. It had
been agreed upon between this Country. and Spain
that the property belonging to both shouid be
mutually restored. Spain had confiscated the
property of British Merchants, as it always does
of property belonging to any other State, the
moment a War has commenced. Sppin did not
restore the property in questitin after repeated
applications, and therefore the three frigates were•
seized, RF some indemnity, and but a small one,
for the British Merchants. But we shall mosi
probably resume this subject to-morrow, and hi.'
the menu time we would advise The Chronicle to
keep its temper; and to acquire 'better :Igor-
mation. We must make one remark, how-,
ever, before we close the- matter for to-day.
The ChrOnitle says, " to the remarks we made -
on Thursday, respecting the present state of' our
relations with Spain, The Courier pleased "tri etr7.
saver by a ridiculous attempt at a quiz, but on Sa-
turday he returns to the charge in a graver tone,
aided by THE Sus," eic. Now, not having ;teen
T
of the days alluded to .by
Tire e Chronicle,rieron ev %ile
el'ktriove not how pleasant was itA.
quiz, Nor what it said in '' a gr'wer tone," but
this we know, that TILE SUN had no intention of
aiding it, nor was it possible that
.The Courier
could derive its information or its reasoning frOM
the same quarter as THE SUN, which we may ven-
ture to say has its own resources, von, which it
can fully depend for authentic intelligence,. end
upon which its obsertions are substantially found-
ed.
