I Was of the Independent Army, as none have reached us; nor have I had any late letters. This may be owing to the capture of three or four launches from Guayana of late; two or three of which, with mules and jerked beef, were, within the las: week, 'cut out at anchor at Point Hicacos, the invariable spot of those depredations. Upon the Commandants report of this fresh outrage on our limits, the Governor 'dispatched the sloop of war to Guiria, to claim the vessels, but I have not heard the result, though she is returned. • The crews luckily escaped on short, where, it is reported, they were pursued by the cap iakrs with cutlasses; but having luckily a few muskets, were able to protect themselves from sharing the. fate of their vessels. These launches are oomsbanded by Samboes, come in under the laws of nations, and get provisions here, and then stretch over to Point Hicacos, and reward us in this way for our hosoiz talky.- A vessel, cut out in the same way, was de manded and given up to the Scamander not long since, and I have no doubt whatever that .every proper measure will be persevered in, to teach these people the respect due to the British flag and limits. From the passengers the following particulars have been collected :—That an action took place at San Jose de Tisnado the night that Lopez attempted, with twelve men, as I wrote you, to assassinate Bo livar in his quarters. Bolivar's force is stated at SOO infantry, and 200 of Zarasa's cavalry. I have not been able to learn Lopez's force, but Bolivar's troops, subsequently to the attempt on his Person, immedi ately attacked, and the infantry, commanded by Co• lonel Silvestre Palacios, supported by the cavalry, maintained the battle-with great valour during the rest of the night, retreating on General Cedeno's corps, which joined them early in the morning, and decided the action in favour of the Patriots, with great carnage. Lopez, whom the Spaniards stile, in their report, el bezarissimo Coronel Lopez, was killed in the action, with a great many other Officers ; and the Independents, it is said, perhaps exaggerated in the number, lost' el bezarissimo (krone! Palacios, with g5O infantry and - S5 officers. So you may judge how desperately both parties fought. Lopez was a native Barinps e and•one of the most active and indefati gable partizans of the Spaniards. He served under Boyez and Moralez, with great eclat, in extermin ating his countrymen. Colonel Sitvestie Palacios was a native of the city of Caracas, a near relation of General Bolivar, and descended from a distinguished family in that pro yince. He was scat to Spin, and servod avinst the French during - all the Peninsnlat war, in the-room of which he acquired several medals, e.nd the ear.- tive rank of Captain. But on a peace taking place, under the auspicious reign of the present Monarch. he was so unwise as to regret the abolition of the Cortes, and not to appreciate the blessings which the Inquisi:ion diffuses wi..h so liberal a has ; lie in con sequence solicited serrke in America, and soon after his arri`val at Puerto Rico, stole off to St. Thomas, and from thence joined Bolivar at Margarita, and was at the reduction of Guayana, and in all the bat tles fought since. The Spaniards, having discovered the body, cut his head off, and stuck it up in Cara cas, no doubt, t 6 use their common phrase, for the satisfaction of the public. This action was fought in April, but I - have not been able to ascertain the date. I enclose you the Spanish account of the next battle, fought at Cogedc on the 2d of May. As it is dated from the field, on which it appears it was fought, it would seem very clear they were not beaten. The Independents claimed about that time a great victory at Caraboboe but whether it was the same, ..ith another name, I cannot say, for the letters that mentioned it omitted the date ; but if it be, it was probably n severe drawn battle, like that of Or tiz. The Spaniards speak, however, of another af . fair. at El Palmar, in which they claim also the ado vantage ; and the fact appears to be, that Paez had retired. upon San Fernssnio, where his resources lay, and that Cedeno has evacuated Calabozo and taken the same route, as it is alleged, for want of sufficient ammunition. General Bolivar had been at San Fer nando some time before, and on the 3d of May the English, to the number of .250, Officers and men, and a quantity of ammunition, proceeded thither in the gun-boats, and had arrived. A second supply has been sent up since. It is a voyage of 15 days." dorm 21.-Since I wrote the foregoing, the Spa nish account of the battle of Palmar, and the occu pation of Calabozo, has appeared in our Paper, and I send it to you enclosed. The Spanish accounts are generally so exaggerated, and frequently so totally unfounded in fact, for the double purpose of impos ing upon the natives and strangers, that until you compare them with the Independent Bulletins and results, they only serve to fix the date on which an action takes place. Indeed, as neither party take the trouble to bury the dead, they both destroy armies on paper with great facility, and seldom lose more than one to ten of the enemy. The fact is, they both fight, not only with 'great bravery, but with the greatest personal animosity and obstinacy; and as to prisoners, I believe it is almast out of the question ; for I hear of no Officers taken by either pasty in the late battles, as you will' observe by referring to the Bulletins, in which none are named. The Spaniards have always exercised the right of shooting the South Americans as rebels, and the others retaliate upon them as invaders of their property and incendiaries, from whom they are to expect no mercy. Hence, except in some instances of capitulation, when they talk of. prisoners, I suspect they mean horses, mules, or horned cattle. The Spaniards hase in the present contest uniformly refused an exchange of prisoners, or to relax in their right to shoot them, and having adopted so barbarous a mode of warfare, they have imposed it on their enemies; and niadc the war a war tlf eatmoitattioa. The coniiiluence is, that they fight k the last for their lives, and little or iht quarter be given in the fields 'The Patriots who hoe arrivpi iate3j, end those who write from thence, .evince nil apprOpriesion what ever from the result of those bud's, be the eractsa4 dot .of Cedolsozo. They eery taserinAlitry of both parties employed in the tampairtliiik:been nearly destroyed, and that Paez has fallerellback on the Apure, - swivel as Ccdeno, to remounttheit cavalry, and replace their infantry and neaterie4 as the French call it ; considering it, at the same time, an advan tage to draw the Spaniards into the plains, where the superiority of cavalry is in favour of Paez ': operas tions.kdes, they do. ot Admit the issue of the bii late andreer their army will advance al soon at it iseepplied *oh ammunition, and occupy Cala. bozo aften, vihih ah nn e tk fall into the • nd of the party Who k field: . * vA4ll23isig- Bilcut and Comm:mid* hind's have seen each other Very near, but were net civil enough even to ezchange a salute; neither wished to risk the consequences, and I am glad Brion did not, for I understandhe his Many of the first requisites for the army on board. " Bermudez, by the last accounts, Orris still before Cumana, which was reduced to great distress for provisions; and Brion was expected at Margarita, to co-operate in the reduction of the former. " The story of Bolivar's wounds is a political flea tion. They at first attempted to pass of Palacios: head for his; and it k not long ago that they woun ded and made him prisoner At Parapara in their Bul letins. As Morillo's name is affixed to the Bulletins of the 4.th May, it is also clear that he did not die on the 2d of April, as stated by the deserters from Cu.' mane. It is still pretended that Calzada fell in the battle of Car:drab(); " I do not know the position of El Palmer, hat I am assured by an emigrant, who is practically ac quainted with the Lianas, that it is in the billy couni try, and nearer to Valencia than Cogede. If so, it proves that I'aez was in advance after that battle, and that the Spanish account of it is an exaggeraa don ; or that the battle of Carabobo followed close on the heels of it, which battle the Patriots claim as very decisive. Bat, indeed, as I before hinted, there is no reliance whatever to be placed in the Spanish accounts. If they can impose on the people on the main at the smallest distance from the scene of ac tion, and more especially upon foreigners, for ever so short a time, they calculate it as autaat de gagne sxr l'enaend. They only exist by.keeping up their credit among the natives, and this is done by gaining bits tics, and espectille large reinforcements on paper and our Papers, in the pay of the Spanish Govern ment,. assist ti.e deception materially; for althongh they believe nothing in the Madrid Gagette, when a 3fofy' is M4nufactured afresh iii England, it acv ilres a certain weight ; for as these people are r'ot to be bought over themselves, they have no idea that Eng lishmen can be brought to disseminate false news, and advocate despotic principles at so much a sheet and many, who know nothing of our Qanstitution, but still can real a newspaper, when they see the Spanish Government -eulogized by political writers, . they think we have at length discovered the seiolorn of a system that saises the nation the trouble of Leg. In, regard to foreigners, the Spaniards hoot that it will gain them credit and supplies, and pre vent those from being thrown into the opposite scars-. From this confusion in the present accounts, it is not an unlikely conjecture, that while Paez has been pushing fo.-ward on the side of San Carlos and Va lencia, that Morales has advanced upon Calabozo, where Cedeno, not being well supplied wit!) amrntt nition, and probably fearing that he might be cut off from San Fernando, and thereby expose the depots of horses on the Apure, had thought it more prudei.t to fall back upon the troops there, and upon the se sources of every kind, of which San Fernando is row the depot. A rapid movement of Paez, if he has been successful, cu the one side, and Cedeno on the other, with superior forces, would place Morillo, is ' Calabozo, in a very perilous situation. "- We are not, therefore, as yet, able to form judgment from the mere verbal information of igno rant passengers, and still less from the Spanish ac counts, whether these movements are the effect of • necessity, or a stratagem to draw the Spanish troops ' into. the Llanos, as the infantry on both sides hal been nearly annihilated. The necessity of getting cattle for the subsistence not only of the troops, but of the inhabitants of Caraccas, Valencia, the values of Aragua, ac. oblige the Spaniards to try it, seine • qui come, or starve. Therefore Calabozo was a good • bait. And, in fact, the Llanos is like the sea, where I the horizon is only occasionally interrupted by a ! town, and passable in all directions, after you get "ui of the hilly country. • "As there are no inclosures, bodies of cavalry L cruize like ships at sea, and find their proviaious I every where at hand. The Llaneros make their owis saddles, bridles, and accoutrements; even their pikes, if iron is scarce, of a wood very little inferior: hence they are a dreadful enemy, and if united, they are unconquerable in their native plains. Besides, they do not require trained horses—they mount the first they mess, provided lie be strong, and if he rcfases • the bit, they govern him without one. In this toey are superior to European cavalry, and require no food but roast beef and milk, which abound. Broad ' and salt are luxuries, when they can get them, as well as clothes, and their hospitals are supplied with herbs and roots, instead of our drugs. Cucuisa (a species of the aloe) cures all wounds. If they arnpu. tate a limb, they sear the arteries. In a word, they are very independent Gentlemen. In spite of this, ' they speak Spanish tolerably well, and are acute n:fria in conversation, far beyond any thing that could be expected. This I attribute to their living in veilaggs in peaceable times, and being fond of each ether's society. In the description 1 give you, I speak es = the priv,ttions to which they calm:Omit, butso.hises choice, fir they file L they can gat •, eietltes aud:bread andSedt, woe:. • 7
