Kingston, IhiIi May, 1819. By the arrival to-day of H. M. frigate Zephyr, from Forto Bello, tfie foregoing intelligence has been received. It appears that a force of trout 10UO to 1200 men, commanded hy (Jen. Ur.ro, came from Panama to Porto Bello on the 2bth ult. On tin- 1st inst. in the morning, they sud denly invaded the town, while the iu*itr gents yvete lying in bed! It was yvith great difficulty that M’tin-gor made Iiih escape in his shirt through a window twenty feet liiidi. and to nro-ervo Ids lit#* diroctxd Inc i course to I lie shore, threw himself into the water, and by swimming readied a vessel, from which he passed over to the brig Hero. During the affray, about one hundred men were killed and wounded. General Lopez and Col. O'Hara are a mong the siaio. the first before fearing bis couch ! About 300 men and 7U oth errs of the insurgents were made prison ers, and sent to Panama. The squadron escaped from the port during the con* sternal ion. Another account says, that the attach on Porto Bello was at day break on the doth ol the last month under a squall, and that 12persons only escaped, amongst them Colqind'Bohrinu and I.n ut. Seiiipell, who took shelter on hoard the insurgent ' squadron. Col. O'iiare received a shot lliiougfi the lungs, and died three days alter. The resistance in the fort by L’oJ. , Haley with about 250 men, was very gal lant; but they at length capttnlnlrii with all the honors of war, keeping their arms and baggage, and with the condition of being sent in Spanish bottoms to one ot the nearest British possessions. All those ot the wounded who were found withmil- , Indent strength to ■ ' (inventor ol Porto Bello by appointment , of M‘Gregor, was beheaded by order of , (ten. (lore, and Gen. SantaCruz succeed* | cd in bis place. , A third account gives the following ( details : On the 301 h nil. at (io’clock in the ] morniM", Gen.

They at once took possession ot the various points, and the insurgent army happening to he in the public square for parade, was attacked, and reduced almost all to submission. Col. O'Hara received two shots in the lungs just as he was en tering the fort, and was taken prisoner. He died the second day in the hospital. M’Gregor was in bed at the commence ment of the action, and to make his es cape, jumped from a window into tire street and reached the brig Hero, by swimming. Governor Lopez was in a room adjoining that of M’Gregor’s and was killed in his bed. Co!. Rafter with a few followers retreated to a fort near the shore and being attacked by the roy alists. was forced to surrender. The loss on the part of the insurgents amounted to 30 in killed, and about 60 wounded. The Spaniards lost only four men, in conse quence of their rapid operations against M’Gregor.

I trust 1 have shewn/ !>y the preceding detail, that the words “ necessary and proper,” contained in the constitution, were lautologous and redundant, and car ried nothing more to the general govern ment than was conveyed by the gt tteral grant of a specified power. I have also shewn, that, in that ease, such means were implied, and such only, as were es sential to effectuate the power : and that this is the case, in all the codes, ot the* law of nature, of nations, of war, of rea son, and the common law. The means, and the only means, admitted by them all, and especially by the common law, are laid down, emphatically, to be such, uit/ivut which the giant cannot have its efb‘tM : amt I have also endeavored to shew that by that law, the construction in this case is to hr governed. la all these coties this implied and ulterior power has the same limitation. In none of them is a claim as extensive as tiiat asserted by the s ipreine com I, recognized or tolerat ed ; while, on the ollur hand, claims tar inferior in point ot latitude hare been of ten reprobated. This principle, while it carries to the grantee what is necessary carries nothing more. It respects the, rights ol both the parties. It remembers that there is a grantor, as well as a gran tee. ft recognizes the golden priuciple *ic utere tno ul alienum non lamias.” lint when you g«! beyond tilts i nterion of ne cessity, you embark in a field without li mits ; and every thing then depending on discretion, the rights ol the weaker party -...X X.v |f! nnoj. I HIM f>IIIlll|m, f*U sacred in all the codes, exists, emphati cally, in ours, in which the consliiulion" lias imposed e.rpress limits to l he granted powers by the strong words used in the 10th amendment. The supreme court has sauUhat there is no expression in the const it ill ion, like those in llie former con federation, excluding implied or inciden tal poweis. While tins is admitted, it is denied that any greater latitude is given . 1° these powers by the constitution, than I hey possess under the law of reason and justice, under the great principle which runs through all the codes. Il there he any clause in the consliiulion having that eftect, let it be pointed out. There is none such, and it is incumbent on the party claiming an extension of the gene ral principle, to shew that such extension has been made. The state governments * being originally in possession of all the legislative powers, are sliil to retain such as arc not shewn to have been relinquish ed. The supreme court, sensible of this ne- ' cessily, and not being able to shew a specific extension of llie principle, liave^ ■* argued in fax or of an enlarged construc tion, by saving that these terms “ neces*f saiy and proper," are placed in the con stitution amongthc powers,ami not among the limitations on those powers. If the object in using them was merely lor greater caution, and to put down all uncertainly on the subject, that was the , proper place for tin ni. It wcudd have been wrong to place them among the prohibitions, as they are not pretended to prohibit any tiling fo the general govern-, ment : il is only contended that they create no enlargement of tlie powers pre viously given. In what place, therefore, » could ihrse words have been so properly inserted i The court is also pleased to say, that i these tirme purport to enlarge llie powers previously given. It is ddlicuit to see ho.v a reiteration of the words can in crease Ihe power ; and it is unimportant whether that power was merely implied or was expressed. A given power is not enlarged by being merely repeated. The supreme court itself admits that these ' terms xxerr used, and only used to remove all doubts of the implied powers of the * national legislature, in relation to. the gn at mass of concerns entrusted to it.— This is an admission by the court that iliey were not used for flic* purpose of enlarge ment ; and it is entirely inconsistent with their other pretension, that lliese words were put in, or purported, to enlarge the powers. The supreme court has also claimed such enlargement on the "round, that our constitution is one ot a vast republic,' whose limits they have pompously swelled, * and greatly exaggerated. The high sound ing words they have used, in describing those limits, cannot alter the force of great principles. The constitution is a compact between the people ot each slate, and those of ail thestales, and it is noth* ing more than a compact. The prtnei* pies I have mentioned are immutable, and apply to all compacts. It is entirely unimportant, whether the territory to which the compact relates, extends Irorn Indus to the pole,” or he no larger than that of the county of Warwick. There is no code which graduates this princi ple, by the extent ot the territory to which itrelatis. ‘ t Tin* supreme court has also claimed favour, in this paiiicular, on the ground ol the magnitude ot the trust confided to the general government. It that trust he great, neither is that reserved to the state governments small, or unimportant. On this point, let what the court is pleased to call, “ the excessive jealousies” of the states, stand as an authority. That trust is not small or tinimporlant, w hich pro duced these jealousies: jealousies winch could only be quieted by the strong words of reservation, contained in the Wilt amendment to the constitution.— That trust is not small, which relates to “ those great objects which immediately “ concern the prosperity of the people.”(r) The court is pleased to remind us, with the same view, that it is a constitution wc are expounding. That constitution, how ever, conveys only limited and specified powers to the government, the extent of which must be traced in the instrument fa) "The powers not delegated to the Unl “ tod State* by the constitution, nor prohibited “ by it to the states, arp reserved to the states ' " respectively, or to the people.”....Const, U.
