' POSTSCRIPT. LONDON,. OCTOBER Z. THE American floop Vvafnicgton Ivis been up the ftraits ot Juan de Fuca, a Tart inlet oa the acrthwenern ccafl of North-Araerica, and ! has difcovered a very titenfive fca, llretchirg far eafUvard towards .Hudfon's ay, to the northward of Caaada. ' The Spaniards rr.c ft undoubtedly have fo fortified the valuable city of Panama that it weald now be a. very difficult matter to take it from them. It is fitr roundei by a none wall ef amazing Arength, and Well -foitified by redoubts. Veifels of inSy confiderable force cannot be employed againft it, as no ftips cf burthen can come further than the ifland cf Pe'rica, which is three miles diftanr, : ::d lies rounrithe jreat bay in the form of acrcicent, it can always be well defended againft any maritime force whatever. Many eatqrpriAng people, have 'attempted this place as well as Porto Bello, the latter cf which, it is true, was taken by admiral Verron in the year 1752, bat he wps foon obliged to deftroy the works and quit it, the air and foil being fatal to Britons. Pa nama; on its old fcite, was alfo taken ?.r.d buret by fir Heary Morgan, who ksd with him only 50c men but it was' then In a mod dcfcncclefs ftate. The province of Darien, of which Pa isma! is the capital, is of the jreateft irr penance to Spain frsm the gold fands found in the rivers, and the wealth of Peru I beiog brought there, and from the ncc imported into Europe. The mountains, which guard it againft ar.y attack by laird are immenfely high, and very difficult of accefs, fo that the Avici icar.sy they have any real defign n this pan efSoatk Angelica, will find hcocafy ir-atter to drive away the Spa- -(-93)' inarc??. It was from the ts of thefe mountains that the Spaniards firft t i?co v ere d the Pacific ocean. As to the Ams- riicrrt filling tha pafs cf Darien, that i certainly caanot happen until they Lave ; a better feet thaa they at prefent peffefs ; j and uhhout a maratime S fuperiorUy, their conquering it by land . woald -be of very little fervice to them. As to.; the belligerent powers of Europe com-; bining to lay it open, that is an event 4 fcarcely practicable, while each prefers hit own private intereft to the general good. - BALTIMORE, NOVEMBER 2. .
