IVEST INDIES.

KINGSTON, APRIL 2.

The Legislature of Nova Scotia, at their late Ses-
sion, passed a vote, :appropriating 100 pounds to pur-
chase a sword, or piece of plate, to he presented, in
behalf of the province, to Vice Adniiral Berkeley.—
Governor Wentworth returned the vote to the Legis-
lature with the following Message

" GENTLEMEN OF TNF. HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY,
" Having fully considered the Vote communicated to me, for
granting one hundred pounds to Vice Admiral Berkeley; for
a sword or piece cf plate, it appears to be objectionable in so
many respects, that I feel it my duty to decline giving my assent
to it. (Signed) " J. WENTWORTH.
" Government House, Jan. 28."

Arrived, after a pas sage of 4.7 d ays from Portsmouth,
le Guerrier, of 40 suns, Captain Skene, having on
board the Duke of /1/1•A NC:HESTER, appointed to the Go-
vernment of the island.

APRIL 16.—0 n Wednesday morning his Grace the
Duke of Manchester reviewed the 54th regiment of
foot, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Lay ard, at
Stoney-hill.
La Franchise frigate, of 36 guns;Captain Dash-,
wood, arrived the same day from Portsmouth, having
under her convoy the vessels mentioned in the list of
arrivals. General Villettes, Lieutenant Governor •
and Commander of the forces in this island, Major
Dickens, his Secretary, and Captain Maunsell, and'
Messrs Stapleton and Turreton, in his suite, came
passengers in her. Shortly after her coming to an-
chor she was saluted by a discharge of 17 guns from
Fort Charles, which she immediately returned.
_ _

APRIL 23.—The Government brig Princess Char-
lotte, Captain Fulford, arrived yesterday from New-
Providence, in 16 days, having on board the First
Lieutenant, one of the Surgeons, and 60 men, lately
belonging to the Mures frigate, of 22 guns, Captain
Duff ; which vessel, we regret to state, was lost in
going into Baya Honda, a few leagues to leeward of
the Havannah. It appears that the enemy had been
constructing batteries at that place, which, not being
completed, Captain Duff purposed destroying, con-
ceiving that they would prevent his Majesty's ships
from watering there, and that the bay might serve as
a lurking place for privateers, in consequence of the
protection that would be afforded them by those bat-
teries. Impressed with the practicability of doing so,
he was endeavouring to enter, when the Muros was
run ashore by the pilot, and totally lost. The Muros
had prev!onsly captured a Spanish felucca, valuably
laden with cochineal and indigo, and sent her to
Nassau, New Providence.
Lieutenant Violett, his officers and crew, late of la
Raposa brig, arrived in the Tweed sloop of war, on
Friday last week. On the 16th of February, la Ra-il
posa, passing the Rosario Islands, near Carthagena,'
desci ied five sail of small vessels, which she immedi-
ately gave chafe to ; when, on finding her approach-
ing them, they anchored, and formed in a line of de-
fence ; a menace which did not, however, prevent
Lieutenant Violett from attacking them. He instant.'
ly resolved to run la Raposa in amongst them, which
appeared by the chart very practicable ; but while
bearing up to attack the enemy, she unfortunately
struck on a shoal, only a league from the shore, al-
though the moment before she had been in ten fathoms
water. The enemy, immediately taking advantage
of la Raposa's unfortunate situation, approached and
attacked her in a raking position, which she retur.
ned with the only gun she could possibly bring to
hear. Notwithstanding the continued fire of the
enemy, Lieutenant Violett used every exertion to ex-
tricate la Raposa with anchors, &c. but in consequence
of the strong breeze, and the vesselhaving got aground
to windward of a shoal that ran a great way farther
out than the one she struck on, their exertions proved
of no service, even although the guns, provisions, &c.
had been throe u overboard. Finding every effort to
extricate themselves prove fruitless, the officers, in two
small boats of la Raposa, volunteered their services to
endeavour to capture one of the enemy's vessels for
the purpose of bringing her to their assistance ;—but
Lieutenant Violett, perceiving the enemy's superio-
rity of numbers and force, deemed it most advisable
to recal them, and being convinced of the impossibi-
lity of extricating la Raposa from her perilous situa-
tion, got the men safely out, and immediately blew
her up—,he, at the time, lying on her broadside with
the loss of her keel and rudder. Lieutenant Violett,
his officers, and crew, were made prisoners, and taken
to Carthagena, where they were confined in prison,
and treated with the greatest inhumanity by the Go-
vernor, which Lieutenant Violett very spiritedly. re-

monstrated against. The nie:al and inhabi-
tants of that place, however, behaved to them with
the greatest kindness.
'I he following is the force that was opposed to la
Raposa :
A schooner, one 21-pounder and 40 mon ; a sloop, two 36-
pounders and 30 men ; two ditto, one 24-pounder and 40 men
each ; a felucca, one 12-pounder and 25 men; and a launch, with
12 men.—Total, 6 guns aod 207 men.
_ _

La Raposa had only 12 guns and .55 men.
