Ex raft of a letter dated at Maracayho, in the pro
vince of Venzuela, the 26th of June.
66 rpHEY write from Cirthagena, thata part of the
A inhabitants of Vera Crux had revolted the 17th
of last month. The intendant was under the necessity of
flying to avoid the fury of the rebels. This banditti were
bold enough to attack a detachment sent against them
by the governor; they surrounded abody of 600 men,
and obliged them to lay down their arms, plundering
as well soldiers as officers, and making themselves mat
ters of ten thousand piasters in specie, which were in*
tended for the payment of the troops. The spirit of re
bellion has likewise broke out upon the frontiers of our
province; the inf^rgertts have broke open the cu ftom
houfes, burnt the papers, and fold the different goods
found in the Bores : They have appointed among
themselves chiefs, captains-general, and other officers.
The last letters from Lima inform us, that an Indian,
named Tupa Amato, had put himfelf at the head of
the rebels, calling himfelf a defeendant of the Caciques.
He has made himfelf mafler of a small town, where he
found upwards of fix hundred thousand piasters: Woe
be to those who fall into his hands ! He spares no one.
We hope that our government, convinced by fatal ex
perience, will do every thing to restore peace and pros
perity to this continent, &c."
CHARLESTOWN, September 25.
About a fortnight ago, captain Butler of the mi
litia, made an excursion over Santee to Pudding
Swamp, one of the heads of Black River, where the
oppressed inhabitants immediately rose in arms, and
prepared to embody themselves u # der him ; but a ne
gro belonging to one of the loyalists having given ge
neral Greene notice of their intentions, he sent a strong
party among them so suddenly, that it prevented them
from making a junction. Captain Butler was there
fore obliged to retreat with such of the inhabitants as
were embodied, being about 30 in number, and having
crossed Santee at Murray's Ferry, -got fafe to our poll
at Monck's Corner.
By the latest advices from the back country, we learn
that general Greene's army is in the greatest distress for
want of fait ; that they search every house for that ar
ticle, and when they find any, leave ' only a fimgle hand
ful for the use of a family.
Captain fephtha Williams of the militia made an in
road lately from t;e Forks of Ediflo, into the enemy's
country, beyond Ninety Six, and having received in
telligence that a considerable party of rebel militia were
embodied and patroling on 7 urkey creek, a branch of
Savannan river, betwixt Ninety Six and Augusta, he
came up with them on the 6th instant, killed and
wounded ten, and dispersed the rest. He afterwards
returned in fafety, without the loss of a man.
When the sirs lnews of the lare aßion reached the
back country, it was reported and believed, that the
king's t oops were entirely defeated. Upon this occa
sion colonel Richard Hampton of the rebel militia at
the Congarees, conveyed some copies of a proclamati
on among the inhabitants of the Ridge, Orange
burgh, and the adjacent Country, graciously promising
a full and free pardon for all their treasonable past of
fences against the united Hates, provided they would
lay down their arms, and afterwards take an active
part, in what he calls the cause of their country ; and
