GERMAN PAPERS. FROM THE MAINE, JUNE 3. The purpose of the approaching Congress of the Sovereigns at Aix-la-Chapelle seems to be pretty well understood. The Austrian Observer was cer tainly right in saying, that the Monarchs would meet finally to decide the question on the evacuation of Fratife by their troops. But with this measure many others are connected that respect the farther security of peace and order in Europe. For as it is uncer tain what may be the consequence of withdrawing the foreign troops from France, considering the irri tability of people's minds, and the manoeuvres of patty spirit, which is far from being quelled ; and considering that France is the country from which 'all revolutionary opinions have issued and spread over Europe, the Cabinets al e sensible how necessary it is to keep a watchful eye over that kingdom, that the order 6f things now restored may not be again troubled, and that the principles of legitimacy which have been confirmed by the Holy Alliance, under the zgis of Alexander, may be supported for the fu ture. The adopting of suitable measures for the at tainment of this important end is therefore wholly in the sphere of a new European Congress, upon whose decision it will depend, whether, under existing cir cumstances, it may be advisable wholly to dissolve the army, composed of troops of the Great Powers, which has been hitherto in France, for the purpose of maintaining tranquillity, and securing Europe from new revolutionary storms, or to keep it for some time longer on foot. As for the contingents of the small Powers, it seems to be already settled that they are to return home. Whatever else may serve to confirm the present political system of Europe, will also be discussed at this Congress. SOUTH. AMERICA. MILITARY MOVEMINTS IN VENEZUELA. LETTER FROM GENERAL ANZOATIGU; TO GENERAL MONTILLA : " Head-quarters, Calabozo, Feb. 23, 1818. " MY DEAR THOMAS—Since my last, written at the passage of the Urbana, it has been impossible for me to advise you of what occurred, so much have I been fatigued and occupied with my duty in disci plining my brigade. I consider you, however, per., fectly informed of our arrival at Payara—the organi zation of the army—our progress to, and passage of the Apure ; which I therefore omit repeating, and will confine myself to a succinct detail of what has subsequently occurred. " On the 9th we marched from Apure to this place, leaving San Fernando masked by two squa drons of cavalry, and also Nutrias (in which were Calzada and Aldama), by the division of Rengel, quartered at Apurito. The day before we marched two detachments of cavalry were ordered to occupy Guayabal and Camaguan, which they effected, beat ing back the enemy, which was posted there, and they then returned and joined. After a very severe march we formed in front of this place at day-light on the 12th, where we found Morillo with the regi ments of Castile, Union, and Navarra, and two squa drons of hussars. " Till that moment Morillo supposed we were at Apure, and you may judge of his surprise and con fusion to see all at once the plains of Calabozo co vered with a numerous and well-appointed Repub lican army. He was effectually panic -struck—the hussars, and two companies of Navarra, which were posted at the Upper Mission, about a league from the fort, attempted to get in, under cover of a sortie by two companies of Navarra and the Union, but in vain. In less than twenty minutes above 500 cf the Peninsular tyrants were stretched on the field—a very few only having succeeded, with Morillo in person, who very narrowly escaped. " During the affair, it so happened that the regi ment of Castile, which was posted at the Lower Mission, about the same distance from the fort, made good its entrance (while we were engaged with the other column) without being perceived—a few were killed, and some prisoners taken. You may rely on it, however, that the Pacifier of America lost nearly six hundred men in this his first essay. The rest of the day passed in skirmishing, endeavouring to pro voke the enemy to action, but he never dared to chew himself without the walls. " The following day the Commander in Chief posted a brigade of cavalry of observation, and the army marched to Rastro, two leagues distant. a vil. lage well supplied with forage for the cavalry, and well situated to intercept supplies for the enemy.— Thus his Excellency Don Pablo Morillo, General in Chief of the Army of Expedition, with his brave Ge nerals, Morales, Real, and Correa, are reduced to the possession of Calabozo, besieged by a brigade of tavairr 7 4nd thus has been humbled the presutbp• !, tion of this vain-glorious man and his associates. " The 15th, at seven in the morning, intelligence was received that the enemy had evacuated Cala bozo during the night. taking the road of Sombrero. To ascettain the fact, the army was marched there, by orders of the Commander in Chief, when, having received the necessary information, it was deter mined to pursue him ; and having passed through the town, at noon we were on full march on Som brero, by the road the enemy had token. " At five in the evening the cavalry of the van had come up with his rear in the savannaof A uriosa, where he formed in hollow square—the cavalry re peatedly charged, killing and wounding numbers, having taken previously about seventy prisoners. Un fortunately the infantry and cavalry of the reserve got astray in the path, and did not get up till nine at night; and the enemy continued his retreat in co lumn, and at night-fall the army reunited, conti nued the pursuit till two in the morning, when it halted to take some rest. " At five we again marched ; at nine came np with the enemy at the river Sombrero, whose woody banks he occupied. The Commander in Chief immediately ordered me to find out the upper ford of the river, and to attack the enemy. I could not find the ford, but charged with the cassadores of the line, the bri gade not having got up. I had just advanced on a guerilla of seventy men, posted in a narrow lane, when an ambuscade opened on my right, and I found myself between three fires. The whole of the enemy's force defended the river and forest, and the action was becoming ge neral, a great part of those posted in the woods having been driven back ; but the Commander iu Chief observing the great loss of men we were sus taining, and knowing that a more favourable ford of the river had been discovered, ordered the guards to retire (the only corps that had been engaged) sup ported by the regiments of Barlovento and N'aleroso, which was performed with the greatest order—the upper ford was then passed without opposition, and the army formed in front of the village. " In the night, the enemy, under cover of the obscurity and woods, retreated on Barbacoa, leaving'! behind his most severely rounded in the church of the parish, together with some of our own, who had been sent there to be cured ; and from Ba7lrtcoa he went on to Camatagua.--Our loss in killed and wounded is not less than 80 men, and of these 22 are Officers of the guards. Among the killed are the brave Pasoni, Arevalo, Ramirez, Girardot, Sar raga, Rosales, Sanches, Urbina, and I3ustillos ; and of the wounded are Ponce, Gil Flores, Colmenarez, Pulido, Mimes, Nava, Meliancito, &c. I received a slight wound in the left knee, and would have been seriously hurt, had not the force of the ball been broken by its striking my pistol between the muzzle and rammer. " I was brought here in a hammock—am now much better, and hope to join the brigade in eight days. The enemy's loss exceeds 200 men, not in cluding 100 prisoners, and sit Officers killed, of whom the Colonel of Navarra is one, and many more wounded. The Pretorian band behaved with adrn!- rable bravery, many having fallen within the enemy's line. Moriilo's force, which exceeded 2,000 comba. tants, is now reduced to about 800, and these full of terror and dismay. To-day the army has returned here to increase its numbers, organize the villages, remount the cavalry, and march. Ortiz is employed with one of our squadrons, and Alvarez wi.h another. " Calzada has evacuated Nutrias, and retreated on Varinas, keeping in the mountains, no doubt, to reach Valencia, or the kingdom (New Grenada). Rengel is at his heels in pursuit. The Lieutenant of St. Juan de los Morros, has come to offer his services and that of the village—the Creole Godos Officers are coming in in lots—the war is nearly over with the Spanish and Creole Officers, these last having refused to continue in the service. Paez marches dm day with his division, to take possession of St. Fer nando. A priest is just arrived from Caracas in three days journey, who says that some of the enemy who were defeated in the first affair had readied that city with the account of Morillo's deroute—that four alarms were rung in one day, but nobody turned out-300 artizans were then pressed by Quero, ard bound, to be conducted by 100 Spaniard; of the. battalion of Burgos (the only regiment in garrison at Caracas and La Guayra) to Victoria, to assist Mo rino. The confusion is extreme in Caracas, and the wallies of Aragau are anxiously waiting for us. " In Sombreros Rastro, Guardatinajas, and Ca maguan, squadrons of cavalry volunteers are form ing for the service of the Republic. In a short time Venezuela will be liberated of tyrants, and in a month the three-coloured standard will be displayed on the walls of La Guayra. Adieu, my dear Thomas, your servant and friend. (Signed) ANZOATIGUI." OFFICIAL DISFATCH OF DON NICOLAS PUMAR, SF.CRE TART OF GENF.RAL PAEZ, ADDRESSED TO GENERA 1. BERMUDEZ, t:OVERNuR OF CUAYANA. " San Fernando, March 8, 11118. " SlR—After sixteen days rigorous siege, and se veral severe attacks, in the night of the Gth inst. the enemy abandoned the town and fortress of San Fer nando, losing one-fourth of their forces, who, passing over to us, joined our cause, and now defend it in the most heroic manner. Fifteen pieces of artillery have also fallen into our hands, besides a large quan tity of warlike stores, 400 muskets, six vessels of war, and the whole of the enemy's hospital. " The brave General Paez yesterday set off in pur suit cf the evacuating enemy, and at noon had overtaken and brought them to action, in the moun tains of Biruaca, three leagues distant from this place. In this action our arms have acquired fresh lustre. I have not yet received the official details, but I positively know that, with killed, prisoners, and deserters, the enemy have now no more than 200 out of the 600 with whom they evacuated this place ; and these it is utterly impossible for them to save. as each soldier had scarcely more than 70 rounds with him, which must have been consumed by the quick fire of yesterday. " San Fernando has completed the possession of the plains by the Republic, and this important posi tion will again sevive the relations which united Guayana with this province. (Signed) " NICIIOLAS PUMAR." " Besides the above, we have taken three war boats (flecheras), five launches, three pirogue:, 70 flat-bottomed boats, some other piece s of cation, and 70 roore muskets." :1, Ire: THE E V EM, LONDON.
