The letters from Corunna ...
The lefters*rom Corunna state some carious fgcts. Three regihm tsavebeen sent from that port, not to the Spanish Maipi, but' fo the -Iavaunah, for the purpose of protecting btie merchants of that place against the Negroes. Such is the state of the Spanish Colonies in tle Western ,Hemisphere, that where they have not seeured their indq- pendence, or are engaged in the struggle, the brute force of the settlement is too powerful for the regular Govern. ment: and if the Negroeo and mero savages of tho islau d were eradicated, the wild, beasts would become too power. ful for the settlers. -'ThcrHda'sannah merchants, teo, it appears, had previously sent over money for the equipment of the troops, by which they werc to be protected. The Havannah merchants had more faith, if the story be true, than we should have had in their situation. Hewever, the troops, we presume, are gone. From feelings of general philanthropy, we wish them success; though great ad. vantage would no doubt txesult to the British West Ildian interest from the ruin of the lIavannah. We subjoint the substance of the letters:- Letters vere received yesterday from Corunna, dated the 11th instant, which state that the troops ordered-for thle Havannah sailed on the 7th. They consisted of three regi- ments, amountiing in the,whole to about 1,800 men. They have been seni, as is said, at the urgent entreaty of the merchants and planters of Havannali, for the purpose of keeping tlhe Negroes in subjection, as it was apprehended that an insurrectionary spirit existed among theta. They were compelled, however, to remit to Spain the money re- quired for tlze equipment of the troops before their request was complied with. So little ale is this degraded country even to furnish protectio) -for the few colonies left her although, if the Madrid Gazette could obtain belief, it would be inferred that Spain still possesses safficient power to regain those which lhave thrown off their dependence.
