Jamaica.

COLONEL Walton reports from the Council of State, concerning the Business of Jamaica, That, in pursuance of an Order of the Council of State of the Seventeenth of June, whereby it is referred to the Commissioners for the Admiralty and Navy, to consider of the whole State of the Business touching the Forces in Jamaica, and of the Ships that are there; and to report the same to the Council, with their Opinion: The said Commissioners, upon Examination, do find, That, by an Establishment made in July 1657, there were appointed Six Frigates, constantly to be kept at Jamaica, for Securing of that Island, and answering the Occasions thereof; viz. One of the Third Rate, One of the Fourth, Two of the Fifth, and Two of the Sixth: The Whole to bear Seven hundred and Fifty Men; to be continued there not above Twelve Months; and then to be relieved by the like Numbers, to be sent in their rooms: And that Two of the said Frigates should immediately be sent away, Two other within Three Months, and the rest Three Months after that: And as any of them did arrive at Jamaica, all that remained there, above the proposed Number, should be sent back: As also, That the Three Brigantines, then in the Service, should be brought within the said Establishment of Seven hundred and Fifty Men: And it was also ordered, That a proportion of Victual for Four thousand Men, for Six Months, should be provided, and sent thither, for Supply of the Sea and Land-Forces there; one Moiety thereof to go along with the said Two Frigates, and the Remainder Three Months after:

That, accordingly, there hath, since that time, been sent away Five Frigates, hereafter mentioned; which, with the Blackmore Ketch then in those Seas, and now returned to the Spithead, makes up the Number established: And likewise, there hath been sent Three thousand Mens Victuals for Six Months: That, by the last Musters of the Land-Forces sent from thence, there appears to be the Number of Two thousand Two hundred and Thirty Officers and Soldiers; but whether effective, they have Reason to suspect:

That by the last Letters from thence, Abstracts whereof are hereto annexed, the Commander in Chief writes, That he is in want of all sorts of Rigging, and other Provisions for Supply of the Ships there; but makes no mention of any Want the Land-Forces are in.

Abstracts of Letters received from Jamaica, from the Commander in Chief; dated the Twentieth of April 1659.

Advertiseth, "That the Supplies of the Diamond came very seasonably; and were immediately taken out of the Victuallers, and put on board the Ships at Jamaica, which were then destitute of Provisions; and then sent them forth, to interrupt the Trade that is driven by the Spaniards between Carraccas and Carasao; and to get some Prize; which he almost despairs of in regard of the Dawbing there is between the Dutch and Spaniards:

That the State's Frigates are in continual Want of Cordage, Pitch, Tallow, and all other Stores; as also of Shallops; which they greatly need; being of constant Use to carry Water and other Provisions to the Fortifications:

That he hath attempted the Making of Brick, but finds it too chargeable to proceed therein; and therefore desires the next Ship that comes, may be ballasted with Bricks, for the Use of the Forts, and some Plaster of Tarras, to make Cisterns to hold Water; and that he may also have some Coals sent him.

That he might have some Credit given him, to buy Masts at New-England, for Supply of the Frigates, as Occasion requires: And that such Acts of Parliament as concern the Affairs in those Parts, might also be transmitted him:

Desires Directions touching such Negroes as shall be met with on board Dutch Ships, they being brought by them to the Spaniards, and by them made use of, and put on Shore in this Island, to annoy us in our Quarters."

By another Letter of his, dated Twenty-fifth of April 1659, he informs,

"That since his writing the former, The Diamond Frigate is arrived, whom he sent to ply between Hispaniola and Porto Rico; and hath brought in a Spanish Vessel of Five Guns, loaded with Forty Tons of Cocoa, bound for New-Spaine: By which Vessel, and by Letters therein taken, he has Intelligence, That, in February last, Eight of the Galloons were dispersed on the Coast of Bermudas, to several Ports; and intended to sail for Spaine about July next; whom he will look after, if Provisions come for careening and trimming the Frigates:

That the Marston-Moor, Hector, and Cagway, which were sent to Windward, brought in Yesterday Two Ships of Sixteen Guns apiece; the one empty, the other with Thirty Ton of Cocoa:

Our People entered the Town of Comina, and burnt it; and from thence went to Porto Cavillo, where they burnt a Spanish Vessel; and from thence to Coro, which they took; and besides the Plunder, followed the Enemy into the Woods, where they took Twenty-two Chests of the King's Money, being Four hundred Pounds in a Chest; and much other Plate, to the Value of Forty thousand Pounds; but nothing is brought in hither but the Cocoa: However, he intends to examine the Business, and to give Account thereof by the next.

By another Letter received from Mr. Burroughes, Steward-General; dated Twenty-third April 1659.

He writes, "That the Marston-Moor, Hector, and Cagway are arrived with Two Prizes, and an Abundance of Wealth, that they have plundered from the Enemy at Comina and Coro, valued at Two hundred thousand Pounds, and better:

That Captain Minge, Commander of the MarstonMoor, says, he hath brought into the Harbour Fifty thousand Pounds in coined Money, besides Rings, Plate, and Jewels: That the Seamen broke into the Hold of one of the Prizes; and took out, by Force, Ten or Fifteen thousand Pounds:

That little Advantage is like to accrue to the Island by this Purchase, save only the spending of their Money."

Twenty-fifth June 1659.

The Captain of the Blackmore Ketch, now at Portsmouth, informs, "That the English in the Island are in a very good Condition; and, through their Industry, have brought all things into good Order; and are in a good healthy Condition."

The Times when the Five Frigates were dispatched from hence.
