\vou\^ go to Petit GuavHs^ and in his way thi- 

 ther he was taken by an En^^ltflj Privateer and 

 carried to Jamaica^ whence the Governor of P^-

 at the taking of Cartagena, and has a Commit 

 fion from the French to be General of all 

 the French and Indian Forces on that Coaft, 

 and to take, fink, and deftroy Spaniards or 

 any other Enemies. Yet the French them- 

 felves, and the fenfible part of the Indians^ don't 

 put any confidence in him ; and Ambrofio who 

 is the braveft of all thofe Indian Captains, keeps 

 him in awe and within bounds. 



Next to Corbet y there's another of their Cap-.

 brave and good-natur'd Prince, infomuch that 

 the Indians had a mind to have fet him up in- 

 ftead of AmbrofiOy who is of a rugged military

 of a curious Fufee that had been prefented him 

 by fome of the Buccaneers ; and being out of.

 'which the Governour taking a liking toit, kept 

 it to himfelf, and fent Nicola another forry 

 piece inftead of it.

 The Englijh Ship was Capt, Long in the Rupert
