The New Hampshire Gazette And General Advertiser

Aug. 9. Last night arrived the ship Dragon, Capt. Andrew Campbell, in 18 days from the Havanna, by whom we learn, that a new, and a far more serious revolt than ever, among those parts, has happened in South-America, particularly at Panama and its vicinity. Before Capt. Campbell sailed, 5000 Spanish troops departed for Carthagena, to proceed up to Panama; and they were to be followed by 20000 more, which could not accompany the first division, for want of transport. The news of this defection was brought by an express frigate from La Vera Cruz; and the division sailed in 24 hours after her arrival; such dispatch was used, that the troops were embarked in the night. The voice of the natives is loud for an independence of the Spanish monarchy, and the most important consequences are expected from this event. Before the news reached Havana, the Spanish troops were on their departure for Europe, and a number had sailed for Old Spain.

The Fox frigate was at Havana, on the passage to England; and the ship Carolina, Capt. Angus, was sailed for London, in company with the Dragon, having on board a cargo of sugar, rum and mahogany, from a condemned privateer from Jamaica to London.

A Spanish 64 gun ship was lost in the bay of Mexico, said to be named the Amerien.--One thousand Spanish soldiers sailed for the Mississippi the day before the first division sailed for Carthagena.

A packet had arrived from Cadiz, with orders from the Court of Spain for the Spanish fleet not to sail for Europe; but Don Solano had already taken his departure, with the whole fleet, for Old Spain. Don Galvez was gone home in that fleet, on board of which, it was said, thirty millions of dollars were shipped. There was only one Spanish frigate (and no line of battle ship) left at Havana.
