Letters from the Bay of Honduras inform, that on the 13th of October, a craft arrived there from the Mosqueto shore, the skipper of which gave an account, that one Capt. Garrison, in a brig, and Capt. Creamer, in a sloop, were both taken a few days before, and carried into Port Mahon. The same skipper also gave out, that a body of the Spaniards having landed at Bluefields, on the Mosqueto shore, were about erecting a fortification, when the Mosqueto Indians came upon them; and the Spaniards apprehensive of being overpowered, beat a parley, which the Indians consented to, but while they were parleying, the Spaniards treacherously endeavored to surround them, and cut them off. The Indians, armed with their lances, and seeing death before them, resolutely fell upon the Spaniards, cut two thirds of them to pieces, and took three of their principals prisoners, putting the others to flight. The Indians afterwards towed across Bluefield River, the three prisoners at the stern of their canoes, and then tied them to trees, and shot at them with their blunt arrows, gradually to put them to death.
