CAPTURE OFGUIRA.

New YORK, jan. 3.-The Trinidad
papers brought By the British, PacketSpee-
dy. from Falmoutl,, England. via Bermu
da, contain the particulars of the capture
of Guira by Admiral Brion's squadron
The following is an extract The fleet of
Brion anchored in the otfing before Gui
ra, and soon after landing from his gun
boats was effected. The Spaniards, $50
in number, who attempted to oppose the
landing were driven into the fort. which
was stormed by land and sea, and carri-.
ed, but not without bloodshed. THE
grape from the Victoria's long tom did
great execution-30 dead were found in
the redoubt, and many of the wounded
who scrambled into the bushes were Ian
ced by Jean Charles Rangers, and brought
in. The loss Of Brion, was one officer
and six men in action, and nine seamen
killed by the accidental discharge of an
,s FOUNDER. The Columbia brig of one
long gun which had got becalmed near
the coast of Guira, was boarded by three
gpn-boats from Guira. The crew had
previously left her in their boats, except
the surgeon. who had gone below TO his
post, and knew nothing of what had hap
pened. On discovering this man they
dragged him by his hair upon deck, and
aft TO the taffrail, where holding him up
so as TO be seen by the Favorife, one of
Brion's vessels, they bntchered, him by
nearly severing his head from his body,
leaving it hanging TO the spine, and then
infiictmg innumerable stabs on the body,
threw it overheard.
