before the Merchant sailed, the schr.
Dash Of N. Y. under Carthagenian co.
tours, had arriyed at Aux Cages, about
Is or 90 days from Carthagena. The
|capt. Of the: Kash and others. among
whom was DR.. Forsyth, Gentleman Of
intelligence and seracity, stated that
CarthageRa had not yurrendered-but
On the contrary, the spirit OF the inhabi-
tants still eoro them up. The provisions
and resources Of the city, such as they
then were, would probably last seven
weeks, and vessels were daily going in
to Carthagena with all things necessa-
lfy.
1t was added that the city was in ex.
IRENE want Of provisions, and that the
women and children were leaving it al
every opportunity to seek place OF
plenty. This will evidently account for
the vessels that were seen by capt
Cook, of the schr. Iris, arrived at Ral'

but it's not probable, that had Carthage
