Richmond Enquirer

From the Democratic Press.
We have received a letter from St. Thomas's, dated Oct. 26 M'Gregor is evidently in a most forlorn condition. We have also received from our correspondent a Spanish manuscript of an intercepted letter from a Royalist at Carthagena, dated Aug. 30. to Don Domingo Dnaite. It is of much light, contains matter of much importance, and corroborates the accounts we have had of the success of the Patriot army under Bolivar. We shall publish it to-morrow.
At the time that the brig M'Gregor was wrecked in the road of Aux Caves. fifteen men who were sick on board were drowned.
The following curious document was issued by Mr. Gregor previous to his sailing from Aux Cases, in search of plunder. It is worthy of remark, that he states in the second article, should the prize money to each individual exceed eighty dollars, that it will be considered a liquidation of all claims against the government:
By his Excellency Sir Gregor M'Gregor, Captain General of the Land and Naval Forces of New Grenada, and Representative ad interim of the civil Authority.
Whereas, having determined to make an attempt on the enemy's coast, previous to our proceeding to St. Andrews, and having, after mature deliberation, selected a point where from every information, ample resources may be had, as well as the certainty of capturing the place with thirty men, I have decreed, and do decree as follows:
Art. I All property and specie captured shall be formed into one general fund, one half to be distributed among the captors according to their respective ranks, and the other half to be appropriated to the use of the government.
2. Should the proportion of prize money to each individual exceed the sum of eighty dollars, then receiving such sum shall be considered as a liquidation of all claims for bounty or pay due to them by government up to the date of the capture.
3. All fleet and men co-operating in the capture, shall be entitled to a share of prize money, according to their rank, although they may be on board of a vessel not carrying the flag of New Granada.
J. The above shall be read and inserted in general orders for the information of the army and navy of the Republic.
Given onboard the M'Gregor sloop of war,
Isle of Vache 6th July, 1819, and the 9th of the Independence.

GREGOR M' GREGOR.
