Henry Dundas, one of his majesty's principal fecretaries of thate, from major-general the earl of Balcarras, Heutenant-governor of the island of Jamaica. Caftle Wemys, January 30, 1796. I had the honour to inform you, by my difpatch of the 30th of December, 1795, that I had entered into a treaty of peace with the Trelawney Maroons. Two of the articles were very important, namely, the furrender of themfelves and arms, and their giving up all the runaway flaves who had joined them in rebellion Notwithstanding the treaty I had not the fmalleft contidence in their fincerity, and every preparation was made to con inue the war with unabated vigour. Three weeks having elapfed without any apparent intention, on the part of the Maroons, to fulfil the treaty, 1 ordered the bonourable major-general Walpole to move forward, on the 13th inftant, with a strong column of regular troops. He had only advanced fome yards, when a meflage was delivered from the Maroon chief, begging that no further hoftile ftep thould be taken. As we had experienced much duplicity and evation, it was judged expedient to move flowly on, and the line of march was fo arranged as to give the Maroons an opportunity of coming io with fafety. This had the delireu effect. The Maroons, to the number of 500, furrendered themfeives, and were conducted within our pofts. In cluding those whom I had formerly fecured, I have in my poffeffion near fix hundred. BIRTHS. April 12. The lady of James Morris, of Wimpole-ftreet, Cavendish-fquare, efq. of a fon. 23.
