her rudder, and next day went ashore and was wrecked

at Caracol, a few miles above this place; and a fourth,

on board which was the admiral, when last seen, was

dismasted, and is no doubt also lost. Much lamentation

was heard in the streets, on the morning that this dis

astrous news arrived, but at twelve o'clock, an officer

with a file of soldiers and musie, marched through the

town, proclaiming, at intervals, an order from the

Government, that the bereaved should cease all public

lamentation, and confine their grief to ther own houses.

Two of the vesjels lost were fine, fast-sailing topsail

schooners, formerly the Kathleen," and Com. War

rington," of Philadelphia; the other two were small fore

and aft schooners.

Preparations are still being made, at much expense,

for a land expedition against the Dominicans, which, it

is said, will do ready to move by the end of next month;

commencement of the forty-third year of their indepen

and citizens, by the President end first Minister. But

the island is very much doubted. Neither party appears

to be capable ol retrying on offensive warfare for ar.y

length of time. Hitherto their campaigns against the

Dominicans have failed almost in the outset, from want

of discipline, and inability to subsist an army in the field.
