JAMAICA.
BY the brig Catherine, Capt. Trask,
at this port yesterday from Kingston,
We have received from our correspon-
dent there a file of the Jamaica Courant
from the lst TO the 18th August in,h-
sive. 1t furnishes no intelligence Of
moment. On the 9th ult. captain John
Bedwell of the Colombian schooner
Isabella, was tried for acts Of piracy al
lodged to have been committed on
board the British sloop Greyhound, on
her passage from Manzenilia, in Cuba,
to Montego Bay. 1t appears that two
days after the sailing ofthe Greyhound,
she was fallen in with by the Isabella,
BUT it seems from the evidence I o the
jury that no piratical acts we're perpe-
tra,ed, and he was accordingly acquit-
ted.
The editors oil the Baltimore Anne
rican have been politely favored with
the following extract Of a letter, dated
