YANBZUELA LI PREVIOUS TO THE FALL OF THE GUAYANA PROVINCES. As soon acthe troops acting against Angostura, •medir . Liatieral Cedeno, had been reinforced by 1,500 infantry under General Pier; the first movements of the liberating army were made towards the interior of .the Province, in consequence of which all the towns es both sides of the river Caroni were taken with admirable rapidity, by conquering and dislodg ing the enemy from place to place, and comporting him at length to shut himself up in the two Gnayanas. The last battle comm4ded by General Ceruti, 'one of the King's Officers, ;tad General Piar, of the If publican army, was the prelude to the fall of the top tresses, or keys of the coontry. It was on the plates of St. Felix the above steeled was fought, and aide the Royalists, and among them some of the most boasted troops Spain has sent to the Western. Hemi sphere, were completely destroyed. The sieges of the two capitals of Old and New Guayana were then straitened, so much so, that the besieged were de prived of all external supplies. • The Patriots, by building and capturing vessels, were at leigth enabled to form a navy of gen-boats and nether's, so superior, that they soon mode them telves masters of the whole of the Orinoko. They Captured numerous large merchantmen, as well as, King's Tess. h. The Royalists.made every excrtios to relieve the besieged, but the Patriots were con& nasally on the alert. They captured two strong cowl slays coming down from Sao Fernando de Apure, 811, well as the secoad in command of the Spanish naval Lyon Pedro Echiniqire, comman4ing a aqua. : dron of gun-boats. Eventually the Patriots succeed ed in intercepting all correspondence between the two Guyana, and the city of San Fernando do Apure. The siege of Angostura being straitened still more , by the arrival of the Supreme Chief, General Bolivar, hunger at length compelled the Spaniards to evacuate the place with such precipitation and disorder, that, they were not able to carry off either artillery or any warlike stores. Thus, on the 17th July, the Patriots became possessed of the town of Angostura, and the Spaniards tocke refuge in the fortresses, built at aft Immense expense after the soscessive invasions of the English, Dutch, and Friticrt. In their retreat from the town to the fortresses; th,ey 'Wit several vessels, which the Patriots intercepted: On the Oth, five of the,lngogun•boats helongisid to the Island of Margarita, commaneed by their brave Chief, Antonio Diaz, had an action in the river with 16 of the enemy's vessels belonging to Guayana, and, atter a most bloody engagenient, the Royalists sheer. ed off, leaving behind them three vessels, which fell into the hand. or the Patriots. On this occasion the Royalists also lest four other vessels, which were suck, and about 200 men killed and woonded. Admiral Brion, who had a tedious passage up thk Jiver, on the 12th July anchored at Cabrian, two leagues from the capital to Old Guayana. His squa dron consisted of 16 'vessels of war, which were im. osediately put under three batteries, for this purpose constructed with heavy artillery. The arrival of this naval reinforcement spread the greatest consternation among the Royalists, as their retreat was now com pletely cut off. ,It was evident they must fall into the hands of an insulted and outraged enemy. A Conned of War was held, and it was determined to embark all their riches on board of 25 vessels still left, and endeavour to cut their way through the line line of the Patriots, and proceed down the river. AU *fie arrangements being midi., on the 3d inst. (Angnit). they left the *castles, and approached the line of the Patriots, which they found well (prtified. 'Bora@ down by the rapidity cf the current and a lair wind, the Royalists thought of little else tban map. ing, and the Patriots were solely intent on grappliog with an enemy incomplete flight. The greatest part of the.Royalit vessels were Captured as they passed the line t some few, however, escaped, which the light vessels of the Patriots pursued, and partly cap. mred Fbut no return had been.ande out, nor any Bulletin published, °sting to the immense distance to Which the operations had been extended.

HAARLEM, SEPTEMBER s A letter from Stockhora of the 12th September, says-44 It is affirmed that Lord Strangford is Dego ciating with our Government, respecting a new ta riff. This affair excites great interest Isere. It is hoped that the import duties on our iron, planks, and timber, in England, will be diminished, and that the English manufactures will be allowed to be imported here. It is nearly certain that a tariff is is contemplation. and though some cotton manufacto ries are established here. yet in general we should be glad of a tariff. It is very probable that according to the new regulation colonial produce will not be pesmitted to be imported into Sweden unless sousing directly from America, or from pests of.'the &itisb Islands. .

Since the mouth pf May we have been visited by the plague till the end of July ; the distemper was kept secret by superior authority, but the plague be came so violent that it carried off from two to three hundred persons daily. The whole East part of the country is attacked by it. At Constantine and Bona a great many persons have been carried off, and it is said, that in the latter city almost all the inhibi. tants have perished. The Algerines haw now eleven corsairs, iot4nding one frigate. of 44 guns, five corvettes from lit° 24. five swift sailing brigs, and a schooner. The smaller vessels have been upon a cruise; they were ordered to the Channel to try their , fortune, and ai they met on their way with a Hamburgh ship and a Russian ditto, they were takeo ; together with three Spanish ships which 'were not provided with the necessary passports. The Hamburgh ship, belonging to Mesas. B. acid H. Risosen, a pretty large brig, called she Reyberstrig, commanded by Captain Lowreezen, , was declared a good prize as soon as she arrived.—. l The Russian brig the Industry, Captain Schumman, bound from Riga to Cunil, with flax and flax seed,' is not arrived yet, which cannot be accounted for, as 1 it was taken off Cape Finisterre on the .Sd July. [lt, was not known at Algiers that Captain Schumman had recovered his ship by throviiog the pirates into the sea.]—This ship will be released, as the Dey does not chose to have a war with Russia. It was taken' for a Prussian, in which case it would have shared the fate of the Hamburghtr. The surprise of the Algerines, at not seeing Cap:. taia Schuionsan's ship miles is the greater. Incases five of the crew came at the same time as the Haw burgh s prize, but were released the next day, at the! interference of the Consul. The Spanish vessels taken these likewise been released.

' The arrival, since our last, of Mails from Ham burgh, Holland, France, and Flanders, has brought us a variety of foreign intelligence, which will be foetid. atiength in our-other columns. It will be seen by the accounts from Socirheollrl, that a negotiation is going on betweeln ‘i this country and' Sweden, with every prospect or to o lf i&oi issue, for a modification of the prohibitory system which has been for some time so absurdly pursued on both sides. We say, ea kith rids, •fee is truth England is to the foil quite as mach to blame as Sweden can possibly be, for the shackled state into which the commercial intercourse between the two countries has fallen. The trade which, until lately, we carried on with the Baltic, was not, perhaps, ex ceeded in advantage by any other branch of our fo reign commerce. Great quantities of our cotton and woollen goods were taken in exchange for the iron' and wood brought from the ports of that Sea.— In order, however, to support what is called the shipping interest—to favour the productions of our Canadian possessions —to encourage our own iron works—we thought we should do wisely to allow no more wood or iron to be brought from the Baltic ; and so imposed such exorbitant duties on their im port, as might amount to an utter exclusion of them. What was the consequence f The Northern Nations, Sweden and Norway especially, had no other com modities, except timber and iron, to exchange for our manufactures ; and as we refused to take either, the demand for our goods in these countries rapidly .ditnioithed, till at length the annual injue:of our exports to Sweden came not to exceed thietr thou sand founds ; and is now threateneklb.be put an end to entirely, in consequence of the Swedish Government chusing to retaliate on us, by a very exact imitation of our own prohibitory system.— In compensation for the loss we have suffered here, it is undoubtedly true, that since these restrictions on the import of foreign iron and wood, our own iron trade ►as prospered beyond all former example-- that our Canadian woods have become a source of greater wealth than they were befored-and it may be, perhaps, that on the whole, we are, as yet, ra ther gainers than losers by the system we have adopted. The gain, however, we are persuaded can be but temporary which is obtained at the expense of shutting out a whole notice from the sphere of our commerce, and deadening their industry in the sup ply of the only articles their sterile country affords them to be industrious upon. Never was truth more certaio, than that the prosperity—the larting prospe rity of Britain—will ever be best promoted and sus. tained by the prosperity of all other nations; and that to stimulate other nations to that prosperity, by encouraging their respective powers of production by every means in our power, will always be Britain's wisest policy. Such industrious thriving in all na. doss, as Mr. RICARDO observes, is most admirably connected with the '.universal good of the whole. —By stimulating industry, by rewarding inge nuity, and by using most efficaciously the peculiar powers bestowed by Nature, it distributes labour most effectively, and most economically : while, by increasing the general mass of productions, it dif fuse. -.general benefit, and binds together, by one enattlidti tie of interest and intercourse, p4,04,,ai sodikitpf i oations throughout the civilA t ed prorld. It is .thtsfrusciple which determines that ,Wipe..should be made in France and Portugal, that ctiftridisill be grown in America and Poland, and that hardware and other goods shall be manufactured in England." A. further serifs of German. Papers has reached us to-day, from which we subjoin the following ex tracts. A report, it will be observed, prevails, that ,the thy of Hamburg's intends contracting for our protection to its commerce in the Mediterranean,' and, from the extracts in another part of our Paper, is will be seen that it is not without the need of it. FROM THE L0W2,1141.111, SEPTEMBER 17. it is said, though ptobably without sufficient in ' thority, that the city'ef nunburgh isinclined to pay to England an annu4sain of 300,000 mares basica, for the protection of its trade in the Mediterranean.
