" His Majesty theyeigning King of Pornigalat appears, was
induced to visit 'cher Portuguese Atli:Ml.ll'9. ship, a 74, then
anchored in the harbour, which is a kind of natural Dalin. In.
Portuguese MajeitY, who has a remarkable dread of drowning,
got alarmed on his return in the Admiral's large pinnace to the
shore ; as soon as the Royal &verge landed on the quay, his
Majesty grew outrageous, and seizing a sane, belaboured the
Admiral over the bead and shoulders until the blood ran. This
outrage occurred in the presence of several thousand spectators,
.and ended in the Admiral's being conducted to prison."
We have also before us letters from Kingston (Ja-
maica) to the 7th ultimo, from which we extract the
following:

" General WOregor had arrived at Port Royal, in the brig
Harriett, the beginning of April, but be was not permitted to
land, and an official notification war made to him from the Cue
tom-house, that the vessel must proceed to sea--ahe 'Was from
St. Domingo, and the Island and that Colony was prohibited by
an Act of Parliament. General BPGregor demanded to come
to an anchor, as the vessel was under Swedish colours, and they
were in agistressed situation for want of provisions, and he bad
dispatched litters to tte Governor to that effect.

0-Ossieval M'Gregor further stated, that elsht of his vessels
an having troops on board, had sailed from the Isle of Vache
the 7,oth of March, bound to Old Providence, and from thence
to proceed for the Spanish Main or some part of Carthagena.'
Letters back been received from Arismendi of a
very late date, at Kingston, which state that the In-
dependents have 16,000 men, six thousand of whom
were British, and were in the best condition.

Other accounts stated, that a bloo4 engagement
had taken place at Guayana, between the Independent
Army and the Royalists, in which the former were
victorious, but had lost a considerable nu;nber of
men ; six Spanish vessels had been burnt.
