Extract of a letter from Jamaica, dated Nov. 2:
An application has been made to Rear-Admiral Sir
CHARLES RowLzY, to grant a convoy to the trade
bound to Santa Martha and' Savanilla, to sail from
Port Royal from the 18th to the 20th instant. The
Rear-Admiral, in reply, stated that he had not at
present a vessel of war to spare; but the first that
arrived should be ordered for that service. On the
25th of June the Chilies' squadron, under Lord COOP
RANE, accompanied by fire-ships and several trans•
ports, made an attack on the port of Callao, which
surrendered after three hours resistance. Three Spa-
nish frigates, one of 42 guns and the others of 86,
two armed brigs, and several merchantmen, fell into
his Lordship's possession, with property to a large
amount. By the SYBILLE we learn, that a consider-
able body of Patriots hai appeared before Vera Cruz,
and that the Viceroy had gone to Cordova, to meet
1 their Commander, with a view of catering into some
amicable arrangements; and orders were sent by him
to the Governor of Vera Cruz, to open the gates of
that town and admit the troops ; but this was refused.
