lar. All the treasure which Was TO have
gone through the first named city, had
been sent 10 Vera Cruz, al which place
II IL expected u would have arrived, If
not detained ~ Mexico. a considerable
part Is due 10 merchants in this island.
The Roya,isis themselves will not pur-
chase goods with their specie, as they are
determined not TO rlsque the carrying OF
The merchandise to Panama.
Many OF the principal merchants al
Panama. began 10 despair OF the arrival
of British man at war, and have sent
directions 10 Lima, to remit their money
by the FIRST safe conveyance TO Eng land,
or North America.
No sale could be found for British ma
nu.aciured goods al Panama. The trade
carried on between this and that city is
almost entirely destroyed but which

neral llore, To have all the misguided Bril-
rish subjects shot. WHO had fallen into
possession of the Roy alisis after the re-
capture of Porto Bello. With philan-
ihropy which will ever rebound TO his
credit, the sentence has not been carrie
into execution ; aud they were treated
with as mach lenity as could be expect
ed, considering the rash aud precipiiaic
manner IN which they had sought their
own mlSiOitunes.
Official accounts had been received by
Gen. lore Of the sailing OF two Spanish
irlgates from Cadiz, which, il was eX-
pecied, will arrive next month. They
were directed 10 touch at Lima, and are
intended for the protection of the trade
between that port and Panama.

You will no doubt have heard ere this reach
eS you, Ut the unfortunate result OF admiral
BIlOu S late attack on COMMUNICATIONS causes
have been assigned for its failure, aud the adj
miral himself seems to feel that he is entitled
to full anticipation in the censure that we
cannot avoid attaching 10 the defeat. From a
personal know ledge and conversation with
several OF tile officers attached TO the British
troops, which composed the greater nnslber
OF the expedition, l md that the forces dis
embarked, were fully competent TO carry the
place with ease had the attack been properly
conducted, bat II unfortunately happened that
the leaders were wholly destitute Of military
abilities. though The principal, gen. OurdinatI,
had attained some celebrity for his enterprise
and courage. The second i'm command, gen.
English, who had the immediate superinten-
dance of the British troops, had never at
tanned any higher rank than that of clerk III
| the cOmnissarat of the army, uEIlng the pc
nIuSnar army. Until some better OrgauiZa ton
OF tie troops takes place, we cannot bnt anti
cipate succession of disasters. The whole
OF the admirals squadron are ont cruising Sc
paraiely, from which lie expects 10 repenisi
his Golfers, which are at low ebb. The troops
proceeded TO form junction with Bolivar, 10
the interior.
Al Marguerite large transport has arrived
from England. with 400 troops, forming the adj
vance OF ii division. raj, ed 10y Gen. DevereuX, il
Ireland lie is himself daily expected with tn;
remainder, who, | am informed, are ~ an ex.
ceIIent state of discipline, and as lie is off
| Ger of talents and experience much may be eX.
| pected from him.
