By the last Jamaica Mail we have received some
interesting details respecting the Etpe.lit;in 1 eely
sent froth Cadii under G •neral Montt-L.O. This lot(
composed of 10 0)0 men and a large a:aval armanset. ,
is Oat +dr nearly frittered away.
In the Island of Margarita, wherC the armament
first arrived, the man *of war St. icter of Alc intara,
blew up with 154,0 men, including sailors on boatd,
46 ),000 dollars, 700 quintals of gunpowder, s' eeral
field pieces, and other stores ; together with 7)90
muskets, and a corresponding quantity of 4.lnthirg,
accoutrements, &c. intended for the arming of fresh
troops as Mcnnuo proceeded into the country. T .is
accident has paralyzed the *h' le affair, and hence
dates the undoing of the enterprite.
Monaco intended first to conquer Caraccal, then
to proceed by land to S4nta F& while a f rce
was to take Carib tgena—or, if foiled, to hl ,ckade
the coast. New Granada was thus to be subjugated,
and MORiLLO was then to proceed to Quito (01 course .
by land) where, uniting with the troops of I !mates,
and about 2.500, which had previously gone from
Cadiz to Panama., to all which were to be a t=ied the
recruits who were to be at med with the cargo r n
board the St. Peter of Alcantara, the combined artr.y
was to proceed to Lima, and there again swelled LI
flocking numbers, like a torrent it was at length to
disembogue on Buenos Apes.
This mad project was concocted by the man-milli.
ner of the Virgin Mary and his sapient Ministers.—
When arrived at Venezuela he had 2000 sick. This
number was increased by the diseases of the climate.
He had to contend with strong guerilla parties on
his front and rear, and was obliged by circumstances,
to send 3000 men to Vera Cruz. His original 'lots
have all been frustrated. Want of money has obliged
him to have recourse to terror to raise et:retributions.
Even the European Spaniards are all exasperated,
and the Independents in consequence increase in
strength.
Several bodies of troops Montra.o has sent out
against the Independents, have been defeated and
driven in, and crte Spanish dis ision of 7tio men was
lately completely-destroyed by Guerrillas, bearing the
name of General Rivas, who seem determined to
avenge the cruel murder of their old leader. An Eng-
lish f: igate has been dispatched from Jamaica to La
Guira and PuertoCavello, in order to claim the British
merchant vessels Molina.° had sequestrated or Alain-
ed to transport his troops. It is generally believed
that the Captain of said frigate, carries card, rs ca.e
they are not delivered up, to sPiti,..e them by main
force. The Merchants also of Jamaica, in come.
quence cf The frequent outrages they ezpetienee front
the Spaniards, and aware of the great advantages
England derives from a free trade with New Granada
and the independent points, as allowed by the Su.
preme Federative Gartirome;.ts ..I:i.recn, have made
a strong remonstrarce to the British Government at
home, soliciting its pro:-ctron, and the protnotioni of
the main object for which tnish America is Con-
ten tag.
