In this part of Spanish America a club has been farmed, caning itself the Patriotic Society of the Ca raccas ; the evident object of whose labours is to dis sever those colonies from the mother couatry. In furtherance of their views, they have resolved to pub lish a monthly journal, the prospectus of which has been transmitted to us, and which is to be called El Pe4riota de Venezuela. In this prospectus the Society assume a very high tone ; they are to " dissipate the gross ignorance in which many of their fellow-citizens are stink, and to raise their ideas to the lofty dignity of free men." But their lucubrations are not only to instruct the people, but even " to give form and sta bility to the constitution, and to strengthen the indis soluble ties of the great Venezuelean federatho." The principles on which the work is to be conduct. ed will be sufficiently understood from the following extract : " 1. he principal essays it will contain shall be di rected to demonstrate the necessity of declaring our absolute independence ; to point out the means of attaining it, —thc obstacles it will be necessary to sm mount,—the eternal and imprescriptible fradqations i of the rights of the people,—the fr;volous falsehoods' of those rights which prejudice might yet ascribe to Ferdinand de Bourbon,—and the incompatibility of the former rights with the existence of the latter, a' preliminary without which the greatest exertions must be considered as useless, In prosecution of these views, the education of a free man shall be another of the objects of the Journal. It will also treat of pub. ijecL Journal. H pt. lie economy, population, industry, public instruction, and all the great means of general prosperity. Last ly, the politics of the nations of Europe and America, the nature of their Governments, their interests, the relations which they have or may form with our's, will supply other fit subjects for this Journal. " I will also contain the most important details with regard to the state of the war, and of public af fairs; of foreign, and particularly of domestic events; above all, giving exact views of the public and do mestic policy of the United States of North America, and of the causes of their rapid progress in strength and prosperity." Citizens Vicente Salias and Antonio Munoz y Fe bar are to be the Editors of the Journal. It appears, then, that the plans of this society are completely revolutionary. They do not even speak with common decency of their unfortunate Monarch;, but assert, that prejudice alone can ASCI ibe any rights of sovereignty to Ferdinand de Bourbon. We are sorry to see this disposition to desert the n•.other coon- try in her utmost need. It is iv t COIIS;SLCM Nvi,h that hatred of tyranny which they profess to feel ; fur Ebel country of their ancestors, with which they were con nected by so many ties, is now a prey to the most un provoked and perfidious aggression; and to afford it liberal support and aid would display a real abhor rence of oi,pression. It is to be hoped, that this Pa triotic Society will not eventually min out another jacobin club. We have been told, from good autho- i rity, that it has been formed with a view to destroy the Congress, and to assume the absolute direction of affair; 'lle famous Miranda is supposed to be at its head, and it is secretly supported by the President of the Executive Power. This Society, we are also told,l has succeeded in influencing the Congress to impri son some of its Members, and is increasing in num bers. Some time ag its members amounted only to 150, but they now exceed 200, and among them are several French and Mulattoes. Indeed, from the authoritative_ style which the Society adopt in their prospectus, it is evident that they consider themselves as the real legislators of the country. We are fat tiler informed, that they are succeeding la establishing that federative system which they have projected ; for Valencia, Vale Aragua, and other pro vinces, have already refused to obey any authority but their own. SPAVISH PAPARS. CORUNNA, AUGUST es. That the public may be apprised without delay of some fortunate results of the operations of the 7th army, of which 1)on Gabriel de Mendizabal is Ge neral-in-Chief, we hare published the present bulle tin, which crartains accounts transmitted by a Spa niard from Santona, dated nine o'clock in the evening of ti,e loth Between 7 and 800 men, with some cavalry of the division of Senor P•alier, arrived upon Santander at half-past four in the morning ot the 14th, after march ing the preceding night three leagues, with so much aecrecy that, surprising and kirling the first sentinels, they got p. ssession of the entrance to the street S. Francisco, and the gate of los Remedios and Sta clara, and several if Santa Lucia, before they were at all iieicrived ; and the first notice of their move ment was given by a disclidtge ironn the guard of the h..spital r f S. Rake I, in the high street. Th e Gt.iu s ith all il flicers (who were don- Vie the number that pi opera y ngeu to the garrison) were in bed—he had about 300 gen d'arnies, and lot) infantry ; fait iu col:scgtilllCe of the surprise, though lie sallied out to the str, et, he could collect only about So gen ..'ainies—and with them, and a part or the officers nil half dressed, they toox to the high road ; f them all° could, both officers and men, per sona b. longing to the hospitals, intendancy, commis sariat, and other &pa:five:its. As soon as they arrived at the quay` they plunged into the water in older to seize certain boats which were lying off the beach, and N% ith the crew of two brigs which were run aground and c.aild not be gut off, they manned Cle ',witches, which they got into a ith die greatest precipitation, wading up trithetr in water. 'they then pbt off for Liantona, where *bout mid,day frpm 40 to 50 01 diem arrived in five or six these launches. The Intendant Aldamar 111111 takep near 'Santa Lucia; sun one of thew go . , LONDON. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6. more than the clothes on his back, and soma ' were without shoes. A heavy firing was kept up on those who endea• Toured to escape, but at nine o'clock it had ceased on all sides—forty Spanish soldiers assembled in thr Old-square, having taken from 60 to 80 horses be longing to the officers and troops, and about SO pri soners, many of them officers. They then marched off in the greatest order by the high road, without causing the smallest loss to the inhabiunts, or even asking from them any victuals. Up to this hour it is not known what road they took, whether that of Camargo or Puente de Arce. In the new sqaare one French sentinel was found dffad•—on the ascent to the tower there were 6—and I ds the rope-walk of Becedo there were found nine gen d'armes, and two chiefs of battalion killed, with ahorse of the General. It is not known what became of him, but there is every reason to believe that he was made prisoner-- 10m aide-de-camp was killed, and another arrived at Santona. Advices up to this moment state, that the fort which the enemy had constructed in Salia, and which was garrisoned by 150 men, was yesterday taken by the Spaniards and burnt—the garrison were making off by the mountains, and yesterday they had a sharp rencounter in Camargo—the result is not known.— The principal attack was upon Torrelavega, which was fortified at various points, and upon S. Vincente de la Barquera. It is said that Torrelavega surren dered on the evening of yesterday, and that to day the Spaniards would return to Santander ; but this requires confirmation. In Santander there is an Aid. jutaat of Battalion, with 90 French, who keep the tort. This morning three English frigates and three small brigs anchored off the castle of La Cerda, firing upon the castle of S. Martin ; and five boats entered the bay, with their cannon, firing at various points short of the town. All this certainly operates a di version. In the night of the 15th, the English en tered Santander by S. Martin—they assembled in the new square, and broke up some waggons which were there, and again re-embarked without any interrup tion. Campillo, with 900 men, is at Toranzo. We arc also assured, that Longa has collected his force against Escudo. 'III EV EN ING STAR. PRICE OF ST OCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. 3 per Ct.

The American frigate Constitution, Captain Hutt.. of 44 guns, which has at-Jived at Plymouth, has Mr, JOEL BARLOW, appointed Plenipotentiary from the United States to the Court of Paris, on b',ard, with his family and suite. nom the circumstance of his being accompanied by his family, it is supposed that he expects to remain a considerable time in France. Mr. BARLOW left Washington on the 2d of August, for Anapolis, where he embarked on the sth on board the Constitution. He is attended by Mr. Walther; , who has returned to his former duties of Consul Ge neral at the Frencls Court ; and also by Mr. LEE, who resumes his situation of American Consul at Bourdeaux. We understand that from France the frigate is to proceed to Holland, to convey the specie for the payment of the dividends due to that country on American stocks, and from thence to visit Eng and for the like purpose, as to the dividends due to the subjects of Great Britain. We this morning received some files of American Papers, but not of a later date than those already re ceived. The appointment of Jon, BARLOW, as Mi nister to France, is triumphantly annouaced in the Democratic Journals as an omen of a perfect reconcili ation between America and the French Government. Thursd.i! two Russian Gentlemen left Yarmouth, for Cronstadt, in a British sloop of war. The opinion of a political intercourse between the Cabinets of Lon- , don and Petersburgh, to which this fact gave consi derable plausibility, is farther strengthened by other circumstances. We understand that two diplomatic characters are expected to leave this country in the course of a few days, one for Petersburgh, and the other for Constantinople. The Messengers PARSONS and FISHER are also under orders to proceed to the same places. We may add, that several letters have been received from Russia, which state, that notwith standing the revival of hostilities with the Porte, the conclusion of a peace between the two powers was daily expected.

TN. latter is a yo.ing, enterprising and brave officer, but he had nut sufficient experience for his situation at this time, when a powerful support is required to be given to the operations of the Allies in the north of Portugal. We are sorry to add, that the civil and financial arrangements under the Junta of Gallicia are very ill conducted, in consequence of which the military efforts are obstructed. It is stated, that the mercan tile class has been peculiarly oppressed by the exac. Lion; of the Government. Advices from Toro of the 26th July state. that 4000 men from that city had taken the direction of Sa • lamanca. with the view to proceed from thence to rein force Ciudad Rodrigo. A great quantity of provisions accompanied them for the supply oldie place. The Curate of Billobiao had routed a party of 60 French at the bridge of Quiotaaa,which was employed to escort a courier to Valladolid. Almost the whole detachment was either killed or made prisoners, and among the latter was the officer by whom they were commanded. A few weeks since we communicated the substance of the accounts received from the North of Spain on the subject of the Spanish General PORLIZWI enter prize against Santander. The official dispatch which details the General's successes has now been received in town, from which we are enabled to supply our Readers with some additional particulars, which will be found under the head of Spanish Papers. It is said that there are now under bond in the King's stores about four years' consumption of all the raw materials of our manufactures, and that there fore the import of more will do nothing for the re venue. It is only in the luxuries of France, in the articles of claret, champaigne, burgundy, brandy, &c. that we are short. Now if this be really the truth, Ministers ought surely to shut our harbours against all importation except from friendly countries. We have received Dublin Papers of Monday last : the only Catholic Meeting of which they give an ac count is that of Londonderry, which was numerously and respectaby attended. THE KING.

The plan, we understand, is truly magnificent. The arch is to be such, in height and span, as to communicate, on a level, with the lofty banks on each side of the stream, and thereby to prevent the possibility of a foil at either end of the bridge.
