RAINSUATE, DEcamnot 21—Several mere pasF...i;e
vessels an last night, with men and horses of t.ie
2:id Light Dragoons. They have been
_landed this
frit-ming, and we never recollect to have seen hones
in such a dreadful condition, when the shortness of
the passage is taken into consideration—numbers of
them lie dead on different parts of the Picr, presenting
a dismal and at the same time disgusting sight.
Many of those which came on shore alive, are so but
by name, and we expect to learn that numbers of
them have died on the road to Canterbury, whither
such as could at all walk have proceeded to-day with
this.once fine-mounted regiment. It is possible that
even so short a voyage might be attended with such
havoc without blame attaching any where ; but it is
a circumstance so unprecedented as to demand a rigo-
rous enquiry.

A letter from Curacoa, dated November 4, says—
