They contain the following important in telligence respecting the military operations on the Spanish Main, extracted from Curacoa Courants down to the 19th May : The Government of Caraccas having. received in formation that a division of the Patriot forces, under the command of General Bermudez, was rapidly advancing towards the capital, hastily dispatched Colonel Esturriz with a reinforcement to check his progress. Esturriz met and attacked the Patriots sear Rio Chico, but, after a short contest, the affair terminated in the total discomfiture of the Royalists. The troops that escaped returned towards Caraccas, and hiving united themselves with the Valencia regi ment, under Lieutenant-Colonel Arbuthnot, again gave battle to the Patriots near Guarenos, but were again defeated, and Lieutenant-Colonel Arbuthnot killed. After the loss of these two actions, the Cap tain-General, Correa, collected such forces as he could muster, and marched in the direction of Petare, in hopes of being there reinforced ; but, being disap pointed, and his troops having dwindled away, he returned to Caraccas on the 14th ult. and, having summoned a Junta, it was resolved to abandon Ca raccas. In consequence of this decision of the Con stituted Authorities, many of the terrified inhabitants rapidly left the city, some taking the road to La Guyra, and others to San Pedro. The same night, a gentleman who was on the road from Caraccas to La Guyra distinctly heard the firing of cannon and .the ringing of bells, from which it was inferred that the Patriots had entered the city. Captain Hampton, of the schooner Cecilia, which left Porto Cavello on the evening of the 19th May, states, that the city of Caraccas was taken possession of by the Patriots on the evening after it was eva cuated. On the same night (May 14), a Council of War was held at La Guyra, where the Royal Au thorities had retired, when the evacuation of that place was also determined on ; accordingly, the guns were spiked, and the ammunition remaining on shore was thrown into the sea. All the powder that chanced to be in the stores had been previously sent off to Porto Cavell.. Information of the disaster that had befallen Es turria had been received at La Guyra, but the people had been lulled into security until midnight of Sun day, when mules laden with baggage and effects, and numbers of persons of both sexes, arrived from Caraccas. From that time until Monday evening all was hurry and confusion. Each endeavoured to se cure such property as could be got on board the ship ping. The wharf was literally crowded with goods of every description, and extravagant prices given for canoes to convey them on board. It was sup posed that property to a considerable amount would be inevitably left behind. La Guyra was finally abandoned on the morning of Tuesday, the 15th ult. when the few mops that had not yet embarked were sent off, and between the hours of nine and ten, the Independent flag was seen hoisted on the principal fort. The sea-breeze not having set in, the shipping at the time of the change were still at anchor._ Here again all was hurry and bustle ; but by dint of exertion the whole fleet, with the exception of two vessels, consisting of 45 sail, managed, by getting out boats to tow them, and with the aid of a light breeze that sprung up, to escape from the bay in safety, and proceeded to Porto Ca vello, under convoy of the Spanish frigate Ligera, that had been for some days cruizing in the offing. Up to the time of the departure of the fleet from La Guyra, no intelligence had been received - of any action having been fought between the main divisions of the contending armies. By arrivals at Curasoa on the 18th of May, from Porto Bello, it was ascer tained that Generals La Torreand Morales had formed a junction at Pao, a town lying between Calaboza and San Carlos, and near the Republican head quarters, from which it may be inferred that a deci sive engagement has by this time taken place. There had been many recent arrivals at Curasoa from Coro, each vessel conveying a considerable number of the inhabitants of that place, among whom is the Governor, Don Correa, several civil and military officers and privates, and a few Clergymen, computed to amount in all to between four hundred and five hundred persons. From particulars gins of this event, it appears that the inhabitants of Coro_ became exceedingly alarmed at the threatened at tack upon the place by the Independent forces in Maracaybo, a part of which had been put in march for that purpose,, and had reached Paragnana ; and no sooner had the near approach of the enemy be come known iu Coro, than every person in the town prepared to leave it: many fled into the interior, and others crowded on board the shipping with what effects they could take with them, leaving only a few of the most indigent inhabitants of the town to receive the Independents, who entered it without firing a shot. The schooner Attractive, which was the last vessel from thence, brings accounts that when she was leaving the road of Coro, the Independent flag was flying in La Valle. It is worthy of remark, that since the commence ment of the Revolution in Venezuela, this is the first time that Coro has fallen into the hands of the Inde pendents, although many attempts have been made to reduce the place. LATEST NEWS FROM BUENOS AYRES. The brig Laura, which arrived at New York on the 4th of June, in forty-six days, from Buenos Ayres, brought the following intelligence, which will also be found of considerable interest: At the time the Laura sailed, the greatest agitation prevailed in the city. It was reported that there had been a Revolution at Cordova ; and that a civil war was going on between St. Jago de l'Estero, Tucu man, and Salta. Carrera, with an increasing force,' was said to be at Melingue, within the frontiers of the Province of Buenos Ares. It was said, that he had got together from three to four thousand horses, on which it was supposed that Ramirez would mount his troops, as soon as he had crossed the river.— It was behaved at Buenos Ayres that a war would be declared with Portugal. A brig had been loaded and dispatched from Monte Video with aims and ammunition for Ramirez: she had passed Buenos Ayres, and the Governor sent two vessels to intercept her, but it was believed they had not succeeded. Daily impressments of American and other foreign seamen had taken place at Buenos Ayres, to man a flotilla fitting out against Ramirez. A Proclamation which had been published by the Gores nor, was renewed by the Junta in strong language, ordering that all foreigners who had resided two years in the country should take up arms and be enrolled as soldiers. The British merchants had met, signed, and addressed, to Captain O'Brien, of the Slaney, a very firm remon strance against the order of the law, declaring their determination to quit the country ; but in reply to a demand for time to settle their affairs, the Governor said that no time would be prescribed—that they might take their own time—but as long as they staid they must comply with the law of the day. Before Captain O'Brien sailed, Don Puyerredon landed, from Monte Video, after about twelve month? banish ment. He had a very strong party. General Rami rez, who is now at the head of the party once at tached to Artigas, is collecting a force in the interior. The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday have arrived. It is said in the Moniteur, that the greatest bustle prevails in the ports of Bret and Toulon ; and that the King's ships, as they arrive, are almost immedi ately dispatched for a new destination. According to the news from Spain in these Papers, the Insurgent MERINO has entirely disappeared; and the mountains to which he has fled have been scoured in every direction by the Constitutional troops, with out leading to any discovery with regard to him or his followers. Accounts from Kronstadt and Hermandstadt are said to agree in stating, that YPSILANTI had failed in his project of penetrating into Servia. A division of his troops, 1500 strong, under the orders of his younger brother, had been broken up by the treason of the Wallachian peasants. Of 400 individuals forming the Sacred Battalion, only sixteen remained. The Prince himself was among the number of the fugitives. ALEXANDER YPSILANTI had shut himself up, with about 600 men, in a Convent not far from Reininck. Two thousand inhabitants of Moldavia sod Wallachia had been led as slaves by the Turks, into the interior of the country. French Five per Cents. Friday, 85 fr. 75 c. A Mail arrived this forenoon from Lisbon, with Papers to the 30th ult. They are filled with reports of the proceedings of the Cortes, but contain no other intelligence. • The following important Official Notice has been published at Odessa, by order of the Governor-Ge neral, Count LANGERON " ODESSA. 6TH (lent) JUNE, 1521. " ET ORDER OF THE GOVERNOR OF ODESSA. a His Excellency Baron SU/0002407T, in a dispatch addressed to his Rscelkncy the Govzawoa-Glssa•c, and dated from Buyaltderie, the 29th May (10th June), informs the Merchants, that he has advised the Russian Merchants settled at Constan tinople to put their affairs provisionally in order, and to secure their properties, in order not to be taken unawares by a Govern ment which no longer observes any measures in its conduit." This certainly looks very like war. The warmth, or, more properly speaking, the violence of the lan guage of this Paper, leaves us in little doubt as to the complexion of the representations which Baron STIROGONOVF has dispatched to his Court. The Au thorities of Odessa ate decidedly of opinion that war is inevitable. The Russians have at present 14 sail of the line in the Black Sea, and an army of 200,000 men could be assembled in a very short space of time. In the meantime the Turks regularly stop all the grain ships, paying as formerly from to 10 piastres per killo. Two men of war, called packets, sent from Odessa at the request of the Baron de STROGONOIF. were forced to quit the Bosphorus. They had guns in the hold, and as the Officers were without their aigne• ' lettes, they came within the description of ships inter dicted by Treaty from approaching Constantinople. Frankfort Papers to the 9th inst. arrived yesterday evening. The following are extracts: VIENNA, JULY 2. According to accounts from Cronstadt, of 20th June, it appears now quite certain that the Turks entered Jassy on the 15th. Nothing further has transpired respecting the victories gained by Prince Ypsilanti ; only so much is certain, that on the 17th he was near Rimink, with his corps of about 9,000 men. It is almost impossible for the fugitive insur gents to enter the Austrian territory, as the cordon of troops suffers no one to pass. Extreme precau tion is however necessary, as the approach of the Turks, who carry the plague everywhere, renders the danger of contagion very probable. The fate of the Greeks is very hard, and they are hardly able to avoid sinking under it. Most of their men of rank, the superior clergy, and those who were distinguished by their riches or their talents, have been already put to death by the Turks, and, unless affairs should take a different turn, the wish which the Turks have che r►shed fpr centuries, to see the Greeks wholly extir- pated, will be fulfilled. The inhabitants of the Islands of the Archipelago are said to be resolved, in case of a final total failure, to embark on board their numerous vessels with their wives and chiluren, and seek an asylum in America. A resolution which carries us back to the remotest ages of antiquity, but at the same time gives birth to the most serious reflections. Yet what other re sources remain to these unfortunate people, since the restoration of the Turkish power will be attended with the greatest destruction and desolation ? The establishments for education and instruction in Mace- donia, Epirus, and the Morea, will never be restored tinder the Turkish power, and all the surviving Greeks will become mere slaves to the Tgrkish Governor. Authentic accounts from Joannina of the 2d June, have been received. All Paella was still alive and active, and it was said that he had gained some ad vantage over the Turks on the Ist. In some foreign Journals we find the follow ing ar tide: .. 44 A smothered discontent prevails in Sicily ; party spirit makes daily progress. This state of things has induced Baron Frimont, after receiving orders from his Court, and with the consent of King Fer dinand, to send a division of his troops to that Island to restore order. Fresh divisions ofiroops are march ing from Lombardy to• strengthen the Army of Oc cupation. Above four thousand men have passed through Tuscany during the month of May." There is not one word of truth in this whole article. Perfect tranquillity prevails in Sicily. The parties and sects which brought so man' evils on the king dom of Naples, found but little favour in Sicily, and it is not in the nature of things, that foreign sects should have more influence in a country after their defeat than during their apparent triumph. Neither the Imperial Austrian Court, nor General Frimont, have sent troops to Sicily. The division Walmodcn has been embarked by the King's order, because the re-organization of the Neapolitan Army rendered it necessary to recal the garrison stationed in Sicily. The Austrian Army has not been rein forced by any fresh divisions since it entered the ca pital : on the contrary, two divisions have been drawn from it. The detachments that have passed through Middle Italy, came solely to complete the corps sta tioned in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. ST. MAURA (lONIAN ISLANDS), MAY 24. Since the last bloody scenes in Constantinople, our Government is less rigorous ; it allows those who go from the lonian Islands to join the Greeks, to take arms and ammunition with them. The last words of •the Archbishop of Neopatron, who was killed in the battle in Thessaly, were, , e We have conquered the children of Hagar." (Mahommed gave himself out for a descendant of Ismael, the son of Hagar). Thei e are remarked at present, in the south of the Archipelago, several vessels with a mysterious flag ; if fortune should betray our brethren, they may find under its protection another country. Ills MAJESTY took an airing yesterday in his coach and four. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE visited the KING yester day. His Royal Highness also visited the Princess AUGUSTA. Yesterday, the Marquis of LONDONDERRY had an audience of the KING, at his Palace in Pall-mall.

His Serene Highness afterwards accompanied the Duke of- CLARENCE to view Westminster Abbey, Westminster Hall, and the other preparations for the Kt NG'S Coronation. The New York Papers received to-day, state, that Mr. KEAN had taken his passage in the ship Martha,' which was to sail on the 4th of June, for Liverpool. The Managers of the Boston Theatre have publicly disavowed the statement in Mr. KEAN'S letter, that they had concurred in his -refusal to perform : they observe, that it met from them all the opposition in their power.
