Charleston, (s. c.) April 5. From Jamaica. Ty the ship Cyrus arrived on Saturday evening in 15 days from Kingston, we have received files ottJamaiea papers to the 19th ult, W r learn verbally by this arrival that information had just reached Kingston, and from a source which it was believed might he relied upon, that Petion was dead this will probably cive rise to new changes and convulsion in that devoted island. The demand made some time since upon Petion for the Jamaica pilot boat which had been carried off to St. Domingo, together with her crew, had been refused, a d a frigate was about sailing fcun Kinuton, to enforce the demand. KtNGSTON, March 11. We yesterday learnt by a private letter just received in this city, that gen.

Tbe Division aTEtranger, commanded bv Bayer, in the service of the Spaniards, is gone over to the Independents, and abandoned their chief : this division was called the Loyalist corps of Ferdin and. March 17. Recent advices from Co man a s'ate, that gen. Marino, with an independent force, had taken that t u n on the 16th ult. after a loss of between 4 and 500 men. Before the attack Marino sent in a flai of truce to the royal garrison stating that if they would surrender they should he treated as prisoners of war, k ail wed i hours for an answer. Gen. Prado said t' it the answer did not require 1 minutes1 consideration, and that they would not surrender. The atta 'k up "i receiving this reply, immediately commenced : when after a severe contest the independents became victorious and gained possesion of the town. From 700 to 1000 European troops then retired ifito the fort, which was assaulted and the whole of them put to the sword. The Royal force in shipping consist ing of 9 brigades schooners had put in to Lasniira.
