our counting house. After the Macgregor came in, we sent a jilot to the Tarantula, who brought her into Flamand Bay. On the 2oth, the Tarantula's boat under the direction of Dr. M'Kelbe, brought the body of the unfortunate co!. McCarthy on shore, who had died that morning of the prevailing disease, and although he was second in command to the expedition the general paid his remains no more respect than he would have done to a dog ; I had him decently interred in the church yard of this place. Since my last, upwards of 60 men and officers have died, and been buried by private subscription. Such has been the humanity of general Macregor 1 u'Tis clearly ascertained that Macgregor got possession of the register and i.nn license of the Hero, (now the Macgregor)by very unfair means that a fellow who had some petty stastation on board the Hero of the name ot Lannor, broke the desk of capt. Hudson, commander and proprietor of t'e brig, during a severe attack of the Fever, and took thence those document, placed them in the hands of Macjrregor, who accordingly took possessio J of the vessel and his property ; an 1 when, on the recovery of cipt. Mu Ison he made application to the presi lent of II ivti. for the restoration of l is property the reply was, you ca ne in under the Mug of a government .' c c!o not recognize, (New Grenada) a:i 1 I cannot interfere ; had you have continued under British dors, I could have acted in the case. Capt. Un ison immediately employee! a vessel to carry him to Jamacia, to complain to the British authority ; r.nd has written to Mr. M'lntoh, of its place, that he hourly expected that a frigate should be dispatched in pursuit of Macgregor and the b: ie; ; nut alas, the carcase of the former, and hull of the latter is ail he can ever get to recompense him for his loss. There evi lentlv apnears to have ben a rte nil in running the brig on shore, as no hind of effSrt was made i get her gIT, fa thing entirely prac- : :abie) a id all assistance for that pur--cz? promptly refused. 14 Macgregor's next design was to r: i possession of t e Tarantula, in Fiamand Mac, and sent a few days ago a boat and 25 men with that intention, but cant. Padman hearing of his plan in time, sent orders to his m ite to d :fend the brig to the last extremity, and at no time or on any accoU it to suffer an individual to - imc on board without a written order fj m him ; this order was promptly obeyed, and when Macgregors boat came within hail they were threatened with a broadside if they

did not slice1' off. which they thought best to do, and returned without having accomplished their object. M The charter treaty of the Tarantula having been violated in many respects by the agents of the government of Macgregor, and the captain having formally protested against them, he determined on quitting Macgregor and his disastrous enterprize. During t'-e 4tu inst. having learned that the capt .in general int nded making another and more determined c Tort to get possession, he went on board in the evening, ami earlv next morning' went to ea (with about thirty patriots who had aban

doned the set vice) and left the cr.ptain general and 25 or 3 ) men on shore, and thus happily rid himsel of a service commenced in folly, and ending in disaster and disgrace, i do not beiieve that out of the two detachments which have been misl in Great Britain, for IViacgrcgor's scr ice, and whic i formed an aggregate of about 900 u.c;., that at present more than 150 survive. 1 he iirst about 500 men, have been totally destroyed at Porto Bello, s say the Jamaica papers; and the second of 400 have nearly all died of famine and pestilence "
