Dr. Brandeith, the surgeon belonging to the
infirmary, said, he opened the body after death,
and discovered besides, broken ribs • and knowing
that the deceased had been afflicted with n palsy,
he searched about the neck and back, laid bare
the bents, and found the spinal process of the 4th
and sth bone of the neck completely fractured,
coats of the spinal marrow, and the spinal mar.

opinion that the latter injury was the cause of his

John Smith, the man who carried the deceased

moments ; said, the deceased forgave the Prisoner,
and said he, did not believe it was his intention to

The deceased reflected very much on his own bad

Adasiralig.Office, Sept. 5.
Copy of a Letter from V tee-Adminal !fowley. Commander
la Chief of his Alajests't Ships and Vessels at .laasaiest, to
the Honourable W. W. Pair, dated at Port Itu)al, July
19, 19119. •
SIR-11 have the honour to acquaint you, for
the information Of the Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty, that his Majesty's sloop Tweed arrives!
hero last night, from off St. Domingo, bringing
me a dispatch from Captain Cumby, of the Poly-
obelus's, announcing the surrender, on the 6ih in.
giants of the French troops composing the garrison
of that city.
Their Lordships will have been made acquiint-
ed already by my. former letters with a decal of
the proceedings of the squadron placed touter Cap.
fain Cumby's orders for the imrpose of co-ope.
rating with the Spanish troops investing the city,
and with those belonging to his Majesty, which
sailed from this island on the 7th ultimo, under
the command of Major-General Carmichael; and
the enclosed copy of the dispatch above-mention.
ed will make known to them the proceedings of
the squadron down to the 'mind of capitulation,
and the terms on which the garrison has surren-
dered.

The exemplary vigilance and unremitted exer-
ticrns of the officers and men composing the crews
of his Majesty's ships and ♦asels named in the
margin*, employed daring this short but vigorous
blockade, under the immediate orders of Captain
Cumby, have contributed most essentially to Reel!.
!erste the reduction of this last possession of the
enemy on the Jamaica station. The tidiest testi-
mony is borne by Major-General Carmichael to
the cordial support which he received from them
after the arrival of the British troops, and I have
nodoubt that the conduct of Captain Cumby and
that of the officers, seamen, and marines under his
orders on the service, will be distinguiihed by
their Lordships' approbation, as it has already bema
by wine. I have the honour to be, &c.

Stu—l have the satisfaction to announce to yon
the surrender of the French garrison is the city of
St. Domingo, by which event the whole of the for.
mer possessions of the Spaniards in this island are
happily restored to the Spanish nation. In detail-
ing the operations which led to this result, subse-
pent to my letter of the thirtieth ultimo, I
have to inform you that on the following day
I anchored at Caleta, ■nd in compliance with a
regime' from Major-General Carmichael, put
eight of this ship's lower deck guns on board the
SparrOw sloop, to be landed at Palengni fur the
use of the batteries to the westward of this city.—
In the mean time the Major-General and troops
tinder his command had advanced with all the ar.
dour and activity that charaeterise British soldiers
in their approaches to the enemy, and taken post
.at the church of St. Carlos, nearly within inii.ket
shut of the walls, and had cut of the communica.
tion between the city and Fort Jerome. The Ge.
neval commanding the French garrison having sent
of a flag of truce, proposing a cessation of hosti-
lities for three days, 1 beg leave to transmit you
copies of his letter and my reply.
On the %I instant I received a communication
from Alajor-Gencral Carmichael, that the French ;
General had made a formal proposal to treat for
the surrender of the garrison, and I accordingly
directed Captain Deer, of his Majesty's ship the
Aurora, to proceed on shore, and in concert with
Commissioners to be deputed by the Major-Gene.
ral, and the General commanding the Spanish
forces, arrange the terms of capitulation ; the
very severe squalls and rainy weather we have
since experienced, so much interrupted our com-
munications with the shore, that the different ar.
tides could not he adjusted till the Gth, and this
day they have been ratified, a copy of which, I
have the honour to enclose 1-.

This dispatch will he delivered to you by Capt.
Symonds of the Twezd, to whose zealous attention
in conducting the sloops, schooners, and guard..
boats, during a close and rigorous blockade of tyro
months, I owe considerable obligation ; and al-
though the services of tho squadron you did me
the honour to place under my orders may not have
been of a brilliant nature, I trust I shay be per.
milted on this occasion to bear testimony to' the
unremitting perseverance with which the vessels
maintained the stations assigned them, through all
the variety of weather Incident to the season, on
a steep and dangerous shore, where no anchorage
was to be obtained, as well as to the vigilauce and
alacrity of those of and men who were en►.
ployed in the night guard-bouts, by whose unit►d
exertions the enemy's accustomed supply by sci
was entirely cut of, and the surrender of the city
greatly accelerated. I most also, in justice to
Captain Bert, of the Sparrow, beg permission to
state the great promptitude, seal, and ability
evinced by that Officer in the landing the lower
deck guns froM this ship, under circumstances of
great difficulty and labour ; two of which he
transported from Andre Bay to the east battery, a
distance of near 30 miles, acruss•en almost impass-
able country, prior to the arrival of the troops.

Of the conduct of Lieutenant Denman, of this
ship, and the detachment of seamen landed from
the squadron under his orders, the Major-General
is pleased to speak in high terms, and I have no
doubt he will make a gratifying representation to
you on this subject. The posts of Fort Jerome
and Fort de l'Ozsma, *Ed the Gate de Conde, are
occupied by the British troops this evening, and I
shall lose no time in making the 'accessory arrange.
meets fur embarking the garrison, in number
about twelve hundred, on board the sqnadron,
and dispatch them for Port Royal with all possible
expedition. I base the honour to be, &c.
