REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA. BULLE 1 IN. GUAYANA, NAY 29, 1 . 817. " At day-break the2lthinit. our gun-boats, under Colonel Armairn, surprised the Spanish post on the. Island of Faxardo, and captured every thiog the enemy had in that position. Our loss in the capture of the Spanish ve!sels, was one kill .d and three wounded, that of the enemy 40 killed and prisoners " The Commander in Chief of the Lower Apure, under date cf 21d April. announces that the whole of the province ta Cassanare, in New Grenada, had been occepied by the troops of the Republic, after destroying the garrisons of Gliasdualito and Colu meta, consisting of 4.00 men, with which force the Spanish General intended to relieve Varina. One hundred and eighty Spaniards were killed, and the leads of Gotig.ra, the Governor, and of Lieutenant Colonel B ll.•it, we , r fixed on the very same places where a little I seloo. La Torre had stuck up those of the Patriot Olmedilla an -1 h s companions " Our division took 200 muskets, 2.7,000 car. touches, 51,0(X) dollars in silver, 200 loads of provi. :ions, and two magazines of clothing and other ar ticles. In consequence of this success, Colonel Perez has established his head-quarters in Betimes, atter oc cupying the salt works of Chita, in the province of Tunja, • ith a strong detachment, and facilitating to the province of Cassanare the organization of a Pro. vinciat Governmi nt, which has been established. " By the correspondence intercepted in Pore, and carrying on between Samano, Governer of Santa Fe, and General Morillo, we learn that the greatest part of the towns of that kingdom ate in complete com rnOtion against die Spaniards. The inhabitants of Sccorro have put the garrisoo stationed among them to the sword, consisting of 200 Spaniards. " General Para attacked the town of San Anto-, nio, defended by Remigin Ramoz, took it after beating the enemy and taking from him all his men and at anament. " Colonel Rangel,-who acts in the neighbourhood of San Jaime, completely defeated a Spanish column under Gorrin, who was killed in the action. " Commandant Villasana entered San Carlos (on the road to Caraccas), put the garrison to the sword, and then re rented to his positions. " Colonel Guerrero WAS straitening the line of San Fernando, the garrison of which place had received no reinfince merits, and by this time it mast have fallen into our hands, as Gen. said Paez would be the case. With the arms and stores the latter General has taken from the enemy, he intends proceeding to the plains in the rear of Caroccas, which present no obstacle to his approach. The enemy has in tact now lust the whole of has disposable force. lfa tight days our Navy will be formidable. We have now among large and small ones, SO vessels on the Orinciko, which we are arming with all haste with the artillery we have taken from the enemy. Thus shall we soon complete the reduction of what remains of Guayana, and at one and the same time we shall take the remnant of the Spanish Navy here and for tresses. We have already had considerable advan tage on the river. A Spanish Commander of one of the posts is about to desert to us with the whole of his divison, for which purpose a safe conduct has been sent to him. He himself has stepped fot ward to make this offer to us, so that beyond all doubt within fifteen days not an enemy will be found on the whole of the Orineko, more particularly, if our brave Admiral with his naval forces should arrive. " The advices received from General Monagas are the most favourable. Colonel Barroso has beaten an enemy's party of 200 men, killed the Commander, and several officers, and, in short, destroyed the whole. The plains of Barcelona and Caraccas are completely tranquil, and without any enemies to molest them. In Chaguaramal only, there are 200 men, and a small garrison in Barcelona.

" Mesa ' in front of Angostura, May 19, 1817. 61 The Spaniards will have published the taking of Barcelona, and undoubtedly given to this event an' extraordinary importance. Most assuredly such it would have been, if I had not conveyed away to the plains part of the park of artillery I had there, and more especially if the immortal day we gained on the llth ult. on the Geld of St. Felix, bad not mare than fully compensated to us that loss. I inclose to you bulletin Nc. 8, detailing the wl.ole of the operations of that memorable action. La Torre, the Spanish Commander, escaped only with fifteen or twenty men. " This success has made us masters of the whole province of Guayana, and confined the enemy in the two towns, where they are driven to the greatest dis tress. In both places we blockade them in the most rigorous manner. and with superior forces, so t h at they must evacuate them or be taken by assault. Wr have quiet possession of every thing that exists in this rich province, whose towns, cattle, and agricul• tore have experienced no injusies, and we are thus famished with the means of raising a powerful army, as we are provided with produce, and all the other essentials to purchase the elements necessary to equip . it, and a tractable and docile race to man it. Our4.quadrun will soon be on the river, and then we shall be in a more direct communication with your island. In the mean time we can make use of Matu %in as a port, though the right and left banks of the river are garrisoned with our troops, and if any ves sels should come up with military stores and clothing for our troops, they will sell at excellent prices. " I am, &c. (Signed). 44 nuereata."

The recent defeat of the Royalists in Guayana, appears from these documents to have been most complete, the Republicans being left mas ters of the whole Province, and their opponents obliged to colifiae themselves to the two towns of Barcelona and Angostura, where they are bes eged in the most rigorous manna. and reduced to the greatest distress. Tie General expresses his confidence that within fifteen days, their reduction would be effected, and not an enemy be left on the whole of the Orinoko. From these accounts sse learn also that the inhabi tants of e t he neighbouring province of Santa Fe are about to join the cause of independence. The greater part of the towns of that kingdom are in a s:ace of complete commotion. In Socorro the in habitants had risen and put the garrison, consisting of '2OO Spaniards, to the sword. The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived last night, And in a preceding column we have given extracts of their most material contents. Another •day's Papers have came to hand this morning, frum which we subjoin a few• additinnil notices PARIS, JULY se. General Belair (apprehended at the same time with Madame Lavalette) has not, as reported, been yet released from prison. The Tribunal of Correctional Police has d'smissed the complaint against Holleville (cousin of Bona. parte) and the other persons concerned in the secret association called The Sleeping Lion. M. Gallatin, Ambassador from the United States to the Court of France, arrived on the 22d at Ghent, whence his Excellency intends proceeding by Brus. sets to Holland. The Artillery, and a great part of the English Infantry. stationed at Bapaume, have left that place and encamped under the walls of Cambray. It ap pears that they have gone thither in older to be pre sent at a great review which is soon to take place. FRANKFORT, JULY 23. The King and Qaeea of Wirtemberg are expected here to-morrow. His Majesty is beginning to see the hopes which he had conceived relative to his Plan of Coustituticn realised. A considerable number of the mediathed Princes and other Members of the Wirtembergese Nobility have successively adopted the Constitution, and it is hoped that in a short time it will be accepted by the great majority of the inhabitants of Wirtem berg who have a right to vote. MUNICH, JULY Ito. The exchange of Cooriers between Florence and Rome is, we learn, extremely frequent. Prince Met- ternich is constantly receiving and sending off di.- patches. It seems, notwithstanding all that has been said to the contrary, that the Prince will certainly go to Rome, in which case, if he does not return before the embarkation of the Princess Royal of Brazil, Count d'Eltz will exercise the functions of Austrian Plenipotentiary. KUELL, JULY ts. Since the 7th of this month we have been in conti nual alarm. The Rhine had risen on the 7th to a height which threatened to overwhelm us ; some inches higher and it would have been all over with us. The water began to fall on the Bth, and on the 13th a Te Dew., was sung, in gratitude to HILAVEN for having preserved us from destruction. Bre the 16th, however, the Schutter sad Kintxig, swollen by the rains, again overflowed their banks, the water descended in torrents from the mountains of the Black Forest, and yesterday at six at night the Rhine 'had of new risen to a great height. It has happily mac to-day one foot ; but our fields are still inun dated, and all hopes of a good harvest entirely 'destroyed. • TIM .2,1" r.

We are happy to hear that Lord CasrlineAoir is considered to be in a favourable way. The body of Madame DE STAEL has been opened, and this operation has falsified the opinions given by her Physicians. In her anatomy they have remarked the extraordinary dimension of the brain. A cast has been taken of her head. Mr. PLANTA, who succeeds Mr, COOKE, as Under Secretary of State for the Foreign Department, is a Gentleman of acknowledged abilities, and had the advantage of being Secretary to Lord CASTLEREAGH in all his Lordship's important missions to the Con tinent. The estate and mansion, with 900 acres of land and tithes of 3000, called Branches, situated at Cow linge, in Suffolk, was sold on Friday last for the sum of re 245,100.

Monday se'nnight, a partial explosion took place in Sheriff•hill colliery, at Newcastle, by which .10lin Tempest. one of the hewers, was so dreadfully burnt, that he died the following day. Thursday, a field of Barley was cut down at Stock bridge. in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh. Friday the body of an elderly lady, residing in Whartor-place, near Edinburgh, was found by some workmen employed on the new buildings there. She had fallen from a three storey window. A fine stearn-hoat, called the Duchess of Berry, is to be launched at Rouen on the 25th of August, St. Louis's day. The French Papers say, that this vessel is in no way inferior to the best American steam packets. She is built exactly like a 20-gun corvette ;I can carry SOO passengers, and 150,000 weight ot.l merchandize; the boiler is made of copper. It is said that her first voyage will be to Paris. MR.

CONPILSMION Ole Dix MUNN.—The case of Da aid Munn, who was convicted of murder at the Hert ford Assizes. was one it the most atrocious that ever occurred in the et-in.:real annals of this country. He WAS convicted of ths murder of John Payee, on hi; return from Hempstead market, where lw was io th 2 habit of selling corn for the farmer, are.. r«eivirre their money, which he frequently took home with him. The prisoner was intimat, ly aer i es:wed with him, and u ;seq knew his habits as wee as to road he travelled home front m it ket —he attacked die unfortunate man in a lane uireearss, 'truck lent be hind the ear: and upon the head, with a hammer, and then cut his throat. He was convicted on a chain of circumstantial evidefice, so st,eng tl.at no doubt could possibly remain in the minds of the Court or Jury as to his guilt ; note itlistandine which, however, it is sstislactery to know that, previous to his execution, he made a full confession r f his guilt, and stated tee only circumstance which did not come eut in the tivid, nce, where the hammer and knife were deposited with which he commined the murder. The tiehappy wretch aho made a veluntery conies s.on of two other horrid murders which he had com mitted ; 0 e one on a poor old woman (by the name of Hail), who kept a small shop at Dagnalt, near Ibis own residence—(he rented a small ham in tee same parish under the Earl of Bridgewater). He stated ; that he went into her house (being known to her) about nine o'clock in the morning ; that he took 'an opportunity of getting behind her and striking her sitar a bill, which lay in the !tense, behind her ear ; dint he then cut her throat with a knife sinoler to the one he cut pent Payne's throat %site' (a but cher's knife) ; and on being asked where he had se creted that knife, he said in a well on the old airmen's premises ; that he took £4O horn li r £23 of sch;c4 he paid to Lord Bridgewater for rent, and the rs maunder he paid away to different persons in the v !- lege in discharge of small debts. Thos ()mere& about a year and a half ago. In respect to the tr es der of his wife, he stated that he ((Mowed her into !:.c cow-house, whete she went to give write hay to tt e cows, ..bout two o'clock in the efe reams ; iliat he struck her with a billet of wood behind the ear, a hich nearly killed her; that he immediately afterwards dragged her to the well, and put her down, head fore most. This occurs , deeout six ere, ks before themurder of Payne. She was found in tic secll on the same day, upon an alarm being given by her limbar.d. H- could assign no motive for this horrid act. He ad• mitted, he and his wife had frequently words together, but nut on that day, and stated that she was a gsod wife. It is not enly fortunate for the ends of public justice, but mere patticulerly se for the immediate neighbout hood in which these horrid transactions ce tumid ; two innocent men having been strongly sus pected of the murder of the old woman at Degmei, and the whole iteighhottrhocd being under the most horrid apprehensions of repetitions of the cruel scenes, which had so recently taken place there. It is rophe of observation, that the first suspicion of this mace. guilt, who had rrevionsly borne a good character. and upon whom the slightest suspicion had net Attached, arose out of an act of Pitevineent.-- The murderer had hidderi a pocket-book which he- had taken from Payne, in his warn.—Cie rf his own men went into tl.e barn with a pee; e fork, to get some loose straw. lie observed as 1.1 thought the motion cf n rat in the corner of the baits tinder the straw. He itsuck at it with his losk, and instead of a rat, pierced the pocket-book, which cerre out at the end of his tore. Amongst others, ne. per. , son has been more sesiseed in a business of so horrid and disagreeable a reiriire, by the confessioe of this wretch, than the Eat I of Bridgewater, to whose inde• tatigable cxertit;rs, it is but justice to add, is to h.. attlibuted the ',ringing to justice and condign punish went the perpetrator of theie atrocious crimes.
