LATEST FROM THE SFANISH MAIN.—The fast sailing ship Hippomenes arrived last evening front Curucoa, whence she sailed on the Gth instant. By this arrival we have accounts from Porto Cabello to the 22d instant, which represent the utlitirs of that place as in a wretched condition ; the Royalists were unable to obtain any fresh provisions front the inte rior ; the destruction of the outer fortifications had afforded them materials ter fortifying the inner; and all the privateers had been hauled up in consequence of a report that en American and English squadron had arrived at St. Thomas's in pursuit of picaroons. The American schooner Union, and English cutter Ardent, had been captured, sent into Porto Cabello and condemned, and the crews treated in a most shameful manner; the British frigate Fa/mouth had been off the harbour, and demanded all English property which had been captured by privateers; the demand was not complied with, and she sailed for Jamaica to obtain a competent force to compel theta to restore such property. A French brig of 16 guns had put into Porto Cabello, with a schooner under convoy. The authorities ordered the schooner to be taken possession ot, but the commander put 30 or 40 on board of her, which induced the govern ment to suffer him to depart without molestation.— The expedition which appeared off La Guaym.Fe turned to Porto Cabello, on the 23d ultimo, ;via the loss of four killed and six wounded, having been in u small Patriot port, six leagues from Porto Ca bello, and plundered the inhabitants of every thing: the frigate and Lrig were stripped and hauled up.— Au expedition of 500 strong, under Colonel Garcia, had marched for Caraccas, but on arriving at Va lencia, they found the Patriots so strong that they made a precipitate retreat. In consequence of the numerous piracies on the Dutch flag, by vessels fitted out at Porto Cabello, the Governor of Cura. via had written to Suriman Jiff an additional naval force. The Dutch vessels had been captured by Spanish privateers. TUE LI➢ERATOR BOLIVAR —On the Ist of Oct. this extraordinary man, on being called upon to take the oath as President of Columbia, addressed an eloquent letter to the President of the Congress, earnestly desiring to be excused from serving in that rapacity, but he was overruled by thzin. On taking the oath he delivered an energetic speech, full of the heart warming eloquence which distinguishes times of public trial and eras of national regenera tion, . _ On the 14th of November the General Congress of Columbia passed votes of thanks, separately, to Lord I lolland, the Abbe De Pradt, Mr. Speaker Clay. Colonel Duane, and to James Marryat and Sir Robert Wilson, Aleiubers of the British House of Continuos. Nair Yung, DEC 20.—A Corneas paper of Nov. Red contains on account of the acquittal of Gen. D'Evereux, who had been tried before the Supreme Court of the republic for having written a letter to the late Vice President, Antonio Narino, which letter was suppostd to contain u chullunbe. The facts, we understood, to be briefly these:—Mrs. English having various claims on the government in right of her deceased husband, Brigadier-General ISi,gli h, who died in the serv:ce, applied to the Vice-President Nariuo, who not only rcluscd to acknowledge her claims, but used personably eery gross language. General D'Evereux, with that spirit which always distinguished him. espoused the cause of this untbrtutime lady, and remonstraied with Nariuo In the coarse of the controversy, the chalk:or complained of was given, and General D'Evereux was put under arrest by Narino. This detained him for some thee from the army. How ever, on an inquiry into all the foots, the Congregs approved highly of the course pursued by the C.c. neral, admitted the jwstice of the claims made by Mrs. English, and dismissed Narino &um his tilneu of Vice-President. lie, notwithstanding, perse vered in his prosecution of General D'Evereux be fore the Supreme Court, and the result has been his actptittul.
