Lafitte, Dclessert, and Roy, previously elected. Shouts of " alive le Rol" were repeated a thousand times by the immense crowd which filled the great ball of the hotel de Ville and all the lobbies. The election being terminated, the Electoral College will not sit again. After the election M. Bellart remarked, that there was reason to believe some difficulty might otcur with respect to the age of M. Perrier, a dif ficulty on which the Chamber of Deputies had alone the right to decide. It the case of his dis qualification, the number of suffrages indicate M. Olivier as his successor. The result of this important business proves, that the Electors of the Department of the Seine know how to appreciate the solicitude of the Go vernment, and the benefit of a wise liberty, found ed on the Charter, and guaranteed by the conser vative principle of legitimacy.

T 6 Patriot's have at length taken Gtia'yktin. Angnstura fell on the 17th of last month, and on the bth instant four Spanish gun-boats and two flecheras, which escaped, brought us the news of the tortresies, or Old Gitayana, being all take!). .They are still lying in the harbour. The taking of Guayana will open to us a great trade +yid' that province, and all the interior in possession of the Patriots, and an army of 10,000 trie.l veterans ivill now carry the bothers of freedom through out ail Venezuela, and plant them on the ruins of tyranny and the Inquisition. The Patriots have obtained possession of all the Countr y taxed by the gigantic stryint.of. the.Orinoko, and con taining immense resources.. The crops of bat inas, tobacco, and of cocoa, 'have fallen into their bands ;- besides countless Ileitis of cattle, horses, &c: All the properly which the Capuchin Friars have been squeezing ouX of the poor Indians of Guayana for 1.50 years, has been forfeited for their trearhety, and the Patriots now say, after the experience they have had of the Friars, that they will never allow any wearers of the cowl to live among themAsor o4 Both places fer:: starved out by a continued rigorous blockade, after I'iar had destroyed Cer rute's aro.). on the 17th April.. Brion's fleet cut off latteily every chance of supply, and the Spa niards re ved to endeavour to force a passage with their armed vessels and get off. The greater past t, it.fot all the large vessels, are said to have fallen hito the hands of Brion's squadron; none have arrived here but the gun-boats and tlecheras, as stated above, and this circumstance gives strong grounds to believe so. A ship, with the Generals and their Staff (and probably their plunder), was closely pursued, it is said, by some of. Brion's ves sels, when these gun-boats lost sight of them, and escaped - through the creeks. In a few days we shall no doubt see the bulletin of the Patriots. — The conquest of Guayana not only gives the Pa triots possession of a fine country and great re sources, bin places that army into complete and quiet communication with the army ot Paez in Barinas, and on the Lower Apure, where he has made himself master of the important town of San Farnando., While these important operation's have been passing in Guayana, Morillo has invaded Mar garita with 2500 men., I have seen his summons, dated, if my memory serve me tight, 23d July, with the Governor Gomez's answer. Murillo oi lers every thing, to perform nothing, or extermi nation, ss the alternative. The Margaritaneans bid Lint defiance, and warn him nut to send them any more flags of truce. They have at least 2500 fighting men, and 500 more, perhaps, for less ac tive s e rvice. Leery Margaritanean is a . lion. Add to this, Mit 4 or 500 of these are cavally, that they•know every.inch of their,island, which abounds in difficnlt passes and ambliscatles, that they are all - riflemen from their childhood, that they are united, and. Patriots to a man, and ,have plenty of proviions, and what is more, accus tomed to bear the Spaniards during twelve mont Its of daily combats against a superior enemy. %Mit a glari"C result is then to be expected !—All the Republican Armies are in direst communi cation. Poit of Spain (Trinidad) Auz,. 10. On the Gib instant, four gun boats and two fiecheras be longing to the Spanish flotilla at Guayana arrived here, with advices that the fortresses in Old Guayana had been evacu ated, and that the Governor. Fitzgerraid, with General La tom and the gar, ison, bad endeavoured with their arn►ed vessels to break through Brion's squadron, and escape to Cumana, but that before these launches lost sight three were taken, and the squadron in close pursuit of the rest. Thus the Spaniards are totally driven out of the (hie pro vince of Guayana, and General Bolivar is at liberty to pur sue his conquest. in conjunction with General Paez, &c. A great opening fur British manufactures in a short time. Nothing from Margarita later than the 45th tilt. St. Thomas, 16th Aug. Hitherto the affairs of the Independents and Royalists have presented a picture of afflicting hot roes, without any material result. This is nut the case now; what is now passing on the contiguous Main is likely to decade the future fate of that country. With the Royalist troops which arrived from Spain, it appears Morillo received °Hells to retake the island of M:tr garita, caule pi cattle; in consequence of which he collet it trated all his forces in order to make the attack on the island, leaving on the continent only what was absoluiely necessary for the essential defence of the posts. As soon as the inde pendents runlet stood that the Royalists had received rein forcements, the Government and part of the army evacuated, and left the inhabitants to themselves, and Murillo landed with a considerable force. The inhabitants defend them selves in a furious manner; they know they have nothing to expeet• 'l' he Royalists, it is said, have taken Pampatar and Fort St. Anne, but the test of the island is In the hands :if the inhabitants, and they are determined to &tend it inch by inch. They have concentrated their forces iii Assumption, the most fottitied place. The Royalists have lost 6W.) own since they landed up to the capture of Pauly:Aar, and 400 in their attach tin the North. It the one attacks with courage, the other defends himself with fury. Unfortunate will he the weakest, for certainly they will all be butchered. .• July 31, 1817. By a piragua that arrived the day before yesterday, and a boat which arrived yesterday with some Spanish emigrants fr,m Old Guayana, accounts have heel) received that the Spa nish garrison had evacuated August ura, the capital of that Province, and slipped down the Orinoko to the former place in their merchant ships armed. with the intention, it 'lsis supposed,• of embarking the garrison of Old Guayana also, and endeavouring to escape. But Admiral Brion's squadron happening to arrive in the mean time, they were all com pletely blocked up in Old Gtiayana, where they were Vedneed to the utmost distress for want of provisions, subsisting on every reptile, and raw hides, when these boats e captal.— Under tliee circuinstances, it was supposed a very few days would give General Bobcat complete possession of that im portant province, by the surrender of the only spot the Spa niards occupy in it, together with all their vessels; as the Spaniards possess, it appears, no means whatever of relieving it. They were literally starved out of Angustora, and the addition of that garrison to the troops at Old Guayana, in their starving st tte, is the ~,reatest misfortuite that could happen to them. These boats bring also accounts of the surrender of San Fernando de Apure to the army of the Independent Ge-' twat Paez, thus rendering the communication trout the Uri noko to New Granada open to the Republicans by the Rivers Apure, Meta, &c.—The present state is this : Bolivar is in possession of all Guayana, except the town of Old Guayana, or as it is stiled, the Fortresses, which are in the situation described. Paez is in possession of all the pro vince of Baiinas, and all the interior, including Calabozo. Nonato Perez is in possession of Casanare, the province of New Granada joining Venezuela. Villafana in the plains of San Carlos. Monagas and Zaraza occupy with their cavalry the interior of Barcelona and Cu Dana, and part of the plains of Caracas. Marino is in Cumanacoa. • Roxas commands at Maturin, where he receives the cattle from the interior, and ships them by the River Goarapiche. Hermosa commands at Irapa, and Yaguaraparo. The Spaniards are con fined to the towns of Barcelona and Cumana, and live upon • Gsh and whatever they can pick up, or salt provisions; fur whenever they attempt to forage, the mounted Tartars of Monagas and Zaraza destroy their parties. On the side of Caracas they arc still in possession of all the country to the northward of the plains, but that is held by the most ephe meral tenure, as soon its Bolivar has done with Guayana, and reinforces Paex with a body of infantry. In a word, the Spaniards are paralysed; for they are so, be. set at many points, that it is dangerous to stay or go. They contributed six tlecheras to the expedition against THE ~SUN. 11 ,, LEM QI I Is MCERE FALSUM AU:MA.I? LONDON - , TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, ISI7.
