JAMAICA PAPERS.

?ROM TIIE KINGSTON GAZETTE OF MAY 22.

Ai soon as intelligence was received at Carthagena
that Macgregor had taken Porto Bello, a Council.
was convened to consider of the ,propriety of dis-
patching a force to re-take it ; trtit after they had de-
liberated for some time, it was sugested that they
bad no vessels capable of conveying such a force,
and the idea was therefore abandoned.

Five women, whose husbands were either killed or
taken prisoners at the re-capture of Porto Bello, and
three children, who were brought here in the Con-
fiance, were sent on Thursday, to the public hospi-
tal of this city : one of them was wounded in the
neck by a musket-ball ; another is the wife of a
printer, of the name of Cot, whom Sir Greigor
brought with him from England, with a few print-
ing materials, and who was wounded in his apart-
ments, made prisoner, and marched to Panama: His
wife and the other women were marched out of the
town along with the soldiery ; but after proceeding
a few miles, they became fatigued, and /sat down on
the road, side, refusing to proceed further ; upon
which it was deemed expedient to send them back to
the town, and they were peiniitted to depart in the
Confiance. This person, who is intelligent, states,
that on hearing some firing on the morning of the
attack, she looked out of her window, which was on
the parade, when she saw the Spanish troops led into
the square by the Alcalde of the place, whom she
knew, and who had remained in the town after its
capture by Macgregor, but who had left it late the
night before, after having, however, supped with
the English officers. The Spanish• troops having
overcome those of the English soldiery who were
exercising in the square, entered the different houses,
among which was that of her husband ; they fired
through the doors, then broke open the room in
Which they were, and stabbed her husband in the
ann; but on their making signs that they were un-
armed, they desisted from further violence, and
made her husband prisoner, but shewed no incivility
whatever to herself. She further represents, that the
English troops had been in a state of insubordina-
tion, bordering on mutiny, for many days previous
to the recapture, from the numerous disappointments
with which they had met, having been alniusr starved
from the moment they embarked in England ; that
many of the Officers had already sent in their com-
missions to Macgregor, expressing their determina-
tion to quit his service ; and it was pretty generally
surmised among them, for some days betore the at-
tack, that Macgregor Limself intended to decamp
clandestinely, for it was stated that he had obtained
and packed up several boxes of money, which he
had sent on board the Hero. This, perhaps, accounts
for the celerity of Macgregor's retreat on that me-
morable occasion !

The Independent flag was still kept flying at-Porto
Bello, as a decoy to vessels bound thither to join
Sir Gregor.
The first success of Sir Gregor Macgregor was
owing to the infamous conduct of a cowardly Go-
vernor, who abandoned the place without firing 11
shot. This man, however, who fled with his-Monty
and plate to Chagres on that occasion, was immecs-
- made primer, and sent to Panama under a
strung escort of troops, where he would be tried by
t Court Martial for his cowardice.
General Osorio, who arrived in the Sapphire, is to
proceed from thence to Spain with dispatches, giving
an account of the recapture of Porto Bello.

merated as among those voting for CHARLES.-7-
