KINGSTON, OCT.
_21.-We are informed by a
Gentleman ,recently arrived from Panama, that
the unfortunate. British subjects taken at the re-
capture .of. Porto Bello by the .late General
Rorer had received their liberty on the 20th ult.
by an order from the ConstltUtional Government
Iron) Old Spain. Out, of nearly 340.pr,isoners,
Marched to Panama seventeen months ago, only
13 have survived the labour and misery of their
situation. About 40 Officers were sent off to
Cheman and .Darien, fifty leagues along the coast
of the. Pacific; 14 of Ahem were shot by order of
the Government, most of them British half-pay
Officers, Captains and Lieutenants. Of the others,
eight only survived, the rest having, as is stated,
died of disease.

When the schooner Swift left the Rio Chaares
43 of the priOners from Panama, all of them
privates, were in the Castle. The post sloop
Bann, of 20 guns, Captain Leigh, it was under-
stood, was to convey .them to this colony, and
sothe of them had entered on, board that vessel;
fOIt more were to leave Panama agsort as-Aair,
other ship of war ,should arrive to receive them.
The rest of the men had accepted situations in
different capacities in Panama. The surviving
Officers, it was reported, had been sent for from
Panama. Our informant assures us, that nothing
could exceed the charity and benevolence of the
good inhabitants, of Panama to the British pri-
soners.

The amnesty between Morillo a:id Bolivar
still continues. . The latter advanced lately from.
Cucuta into Venezuela. ; ;some imagine with a
