The arrivals from Puerto Cabe!io since.
our last, confirm the report of the detca
ton OK me brigantine Cora, NJ. Calder, mas
ter. 1t rs how ascertained that cargo OF $50
mules had been embarked on board rn:s YES
SCI at the above port, and that she was on
the eve OF proceeding To Jamaica, when I'M
der the prerence OF an embargo, she was de-
tanned, and her cargo relanded, although at
the same time the Government of Puerto Ca
bello permitted several Spanish vessels to sail
from thence for St. Thomas ard this island
and since which Ii appears that the master
OF the Cora was offereG tie alternative of e;-
AxAf'1
cas-, which he refused to accept of, or to syf-
Ter tor his obstinacy, by being detained in
port until his expenccS should amount f.,
the value of BOTH vessel and cargo. SIEVE
raj cargoes of British property have. il,
like manner been seized upon by the ro-
vernment OF Puerto Cabcilo, and the hoI-
ders thereof treated with insult and injus-
tice.
In addition to the particulars, we have a..
SO received advice of the British sioop Lam
wing, belonging to Grenada, Z. r. Patton
master, having been taken into the SDanish
service at Barcelona for the purpose OF cor
veying troops from thence to Puerto CaI,ello.
where she arrived on the 23d utimo, with
2OO men on beard which, together with
5000 regulars, and about 3OCC native tcoops
had been marched to Valencia. There ar
several other British vessels lying at Puerto
Cabelio, whose names we have not learnt.
IN the same predicament with the Cora and
LapwlnS, and govt. bT enfoJ cling the strong
haiid OF power, conpels them 60 accent q
such payments for their services at it Things
proper to allow.
The remainder Of the expedition is expect.
ed to san IN short time from Puerto Chbei-
