JAMAICA PAPERS.

Aatmaie4 Papers arrived this morning 3 to the 29th
of November. They do not contain- any thing of
importance:

h JAMAICA, NOVEMBER U.

41 AdViCh from Carthagena state that the royalists,
do the 29th ult. attacked a town of the name of
Mompox, and that they wee repulsed by the inde-
pendents, with the loss of several killed and woun-
ded, also 48 prisoners, two gun boats, and two pieces
of cannon: On the 31st, the inhabitants of Mompor
attacked the village of Zeiler, of which they olitaitied
possession, took a cannon, a swivel, and killed seve-
ral people, and destroyed all the houses by fire.
" Nov. Z'l.—His Majesty's frigate Narcissus, Capt.
Lumley, and store-ship Abundance, anchored at Purt
Royal yesterday : they sailed from Portsmouth on
the 29th September, in company with SO sail of Mer-
chantmen under convoy."

The Jamaica Papers contain letters froM Annotto
Bay, dated the Ilth Novernbet, announcing a smart
shock of an earthquake, which ;lid considerable da-
mage to different buildings, but happily it was of
short continuance (about 70 seconds) and no lives
armentionei to Jaye been lost.

hounds, and it really makes One's blood run Cold to
read some of the letters of officers Which have bah
shown to us. The once elegant city of Salamanca,
the seat of lestrning lid the arts, was given up to
plunder for two entire days, and heavy Contributions
were levied on the inhabitants, Many of whom must
now starve for hunter: The same was done at Ma-
drid, the people theft say that our going athongst
them, has probed a sore misfortune to the inhabitants,
and has been the cause of the French inflicting seven
punishment on their city. . .
The Miriquis of WELUNGTON has issued very se-
vere orders ehout the Commissaries, and their con-
duct in the late retreat : notwithstanding the keen
eye of the Marquis, abuses will exist where there are
Commissaries and Contractors. We understand that
immense sums will be sa7e4 to the public by the
rules which his Lordship is establishing, at the same
time that pry...Vizir fortunes will more rarely be made.
It is reported, and confidently believed, at Lisbon,
'teat the whole French Army is on the move out of
Spain, leaving garrisons behind them ; but we are
concerned to add, th a most of the letters which we
have seen concur in statinA 11; it our Army is not it a
state at pres:.nt to go in pursuit.

A very pro.,,er and judicious measure ha: at length,
we under‘tand, been determined on by Government,
not only all the Generals on the home service will go
ottt to the Peninsula, to take their turn of ditty, and
tojearn the art of war ; while the home districts will
be given to our wounded Generals, and those whose
health has suffered by cervices. The same system is
to be extended to the Adjutant-General's depart-
ment ; the Quarter-Master General's, the Pay-Mas-
ter General's, the medical and the Cortunissariar. Al-
most every one of the home Commissaries, is under
orders to go out to Lord WELLINGTON*
We hear that those ahle Officers, Sir JOHN Mott-
RAY, it • MACKENZIE, BROWN, PORTER, Sir WILLIAM
AYLETT, TROTTER, DYOTT, 'MONO% DURUAM,
DISNEY. PETER, and BooroN, will be immediately
sent out, and to be with the Martpit ofWELmotoa
by the time he opens the campaign. Various names
are handed about, as to the chief command of the
cavalry, Vice Sir STAPLETON COTTON coming home.
We have reason, however, to believe that General
Svoartr, brother of Lord CairmafttAcrt, goes out'
for that purpose—pethaps for even a higher appoint-
mentl—Sir W. ERSKINE is, we learn, likewise corn.

whore of the trial, and even while
of the law was past, not one of
tear, but their behaviour was
any indecent boldness or nnbe-
...aty. The proceedings of the Court were
,onduited with unusual solemnities, and the behavi-
our of the spectators was strictly decorous and be.,
cotning. From amongst the numerous relatives and
friends of the tmfortunatelnalefactors, an expression
of an*uish frequently reached the ear, but it was
deep, not loud; and in that part of the auditory that
was connected with them, only by a common nature
abhorrence at their enormous crime, was not unmixed
with cammisseeation, at the premature fate of these
early victims of a lavtlesc Confederacy.
6g At the opening of the Court, on Thursday
Morning, the Jury recommended Thole: Smirk to
mercy, and an application was, we understand, made
to the Judges, to have the sentence of the law, on
such of the murderers as they Might think proper to
order for execution, carried into effect, not at the
usual place of execution, but on the spot where the
murder was perpetrated :—but we hear, that it watt
not thought expedient to complywith this application.
In the interval between the trial and execution;
the prisoners behaved very penitently; though they
refused to make any confession either in the prison
or at the place of execution. Thorpe, on being.
asked if he did not acknowledge the justice of his sen-
tence ? said, Do not ask me any question." Mellor
declared," that he would rather be in the titnation he
was then placed, dreadful as it was, than have to
answer for the crime of theii accuser, and that he
would not change situations with.hirn, even for hit
liberrY and two thousand pawl& 3" butt with all his
resolution, he could not conceal the agonies of his
mind, for on the night before the execution, he fell td,
the ground in a state of insensibility, and it was
thought he would have died in his cell ; but he'
soon recovered, and in the morning hit health wai
perfectly restored.

tXECTITION:
The Execution of these unhappy men took place
yesterday, at nine o'clock, at the usual place behind
the Castle, it Yiark. EverY Precaution had beeti
taken. to render every idea of a rescue impracticable.
Two troops of cavalry were drawn up at the front
the drop, and the avenues to the castle weieguard'el
by infantry. five minutes before nine o'cl.'ck, the
prisoners came upon the fatal platform. After the
Ordinary had read the accustomed forms of prayer
on these occasions; George Mellor prayed for about
ten minutes—he spoke with great apparent fervency
and devotion, confessing in general, the greatness of
his sins, but without any allusion to the crime for
which be suffered: He prayed earnestly for mercy,
and with a pathoi thit was affecting. 'The sur-
rounding, Multitude were evidently affected. Wil-
liam Thorpe alsoprdyed; but his voice was not so
well heard. Smith said little, bet seemed to join in
the deiotion with great seriousness.
,4 The prisoners were then moved to the front of
the platform; and Mellor said, Some of my ene-
mies may he here; if there be, I freely fcrgive them,
bird all the world, and I hope the World- will for-
give me:" William Thorpe said, 44 I hope none of
those who are now before me, will ever" come to thil
plaCe.° The execntionet then Proceeded to perform
his fatal office, and the drop fell. to.; ome literati,
had beer. made in the drdp, so that all the whole body
was visible when they were suspended ; in former ere.'
cations only the feet and head could be seen by the'
spectators: They were executed in their iron. They
appeared slightly convulsed for a few moments.
46 The number of people assembled, was much
greater than is usual in York, on these melanchult
occasions, but not the slightest. indication of tilmu
prevailed, and the greatest silence reigned during tl
whole of this solemn and painful scene: Such h
been the issue of that fatal systeth, which, after h;
ing produced in its progress great terror and alai
and much mischief to the community, has at len
terminated in the death of those who were its r
active partizans. And thus have perished, in the.
bloom of lite. three young men ; whb, had t'
rected their ;gents to lawful pursuits,
lived happy and respected.—They
on whose countenances nature had not
features of assassins.
