CARACCAS, APRIL 29.

O 1011 s APAIIIIT Cono.—The main bode of the
Republican army, ander the command of Colonel Pinang°,
took up their march on the Ll iastant, and established
their quarters in Jaema on the 9th. Piaango with 400 light
infantry and 4U cavalry, occupied Cowards:, en the 11th,
without opposition. He returned to Jams oh the 13th, to
direct the movements of the resit of the army, who began
their march on that day, acd was to have entered Coro on
the Ibih.

Colooel Vargas, who has been rehiforred by 1300 volun-
teers, commanded by Gerierel To/cline, bas been directed
to move onwards to the Pedregal, to divert the attention of
the enemy in that direction.
Col. Hera., with the column of Zulus, will operate in the
rear of the enemy, and three other detachments will apread
themselves along the deserts between Carigoo and the purls
or Attagracls.
. _ _

Morales will move against Colsrael Pinango; he will leave
a part of his army to cope with Col. Hem. Should he come
towards Coro with the smallest part of his force, thinking
that we only intend to divert him from Mmracailm with the
four hundred men who occupy Cnosarebo, be will most as•
suredly be cut to pieces. Should he move with the mass
body of his troops, the corps of Yulia and Pedrrgal will de-
stroy any force remaining as a rear guard, mad wilt fall cos
hls rear.
Our operations have been heretofore fortunate, and pro-
mise complete success.
The enemy having no vessels to transport his troops into
Porto Cabello wilt not seek flue coast where we are block.d.
ing the division le Maracaibo, and we shall possibly ruler-
neinate the ferocious enemy of our t►anquitlity and ►ahtinua.
Subsequent to the foregoing, Captain Boras has arrived
with dispatches, giving in account of the battle fought at
Chiparo on the 17th instant, which states Shut Colonel
Pinsego, wills ►is division, brought the enemy, exceeding
500 men, comasanded by C.I. Tello, to close amine, sod
Rained a miasplete victory over them, filing two officers and
eighty men prisoners, with one hundred mod thirty musket.,
ace. and killing and woutiding a very great number. Colonel
Tello and Commandant Art1101)1104 with only twenty
men, esesped—they were closely pursued. Our loft was
comparatively trifling. This pluses Coro and La Vela I. ;fig
pommies of the Patriots—will oblige General Morales to
*woe to a general action, with every probability of tis ter-
minating In oor favour; it frets Marmesitto from the appro.
hension of an invader, and enables Colonel Herm to operate
on the vanguard of the messy the moment it is put in
motion.

SIEGE OF PORTO CABELLO EY THE PATRIOTS.
By a Bulletin dated et gene►al quarters in Roamer*ls, the
12th of April, it appears that Ike Patriot Commander-in-
Chief was actively engaged in reconnoitering the enemy, and
adopting the mart judicious plans for his annoyance. The
G I was cutting off every possible supply, investing
several adjacent towns and positions with his scoops, and
keeping a naval force un the coast to Intercept all COmMtini-
ettion wills the Royalists.
A vetoed Bulletin, dated at the same quarters, on the 23d
of April, states, in continuation, that the operations of the
Patriots are very active, and favonrable—ocesaional 'kir-
milking taking place and considerable numbers of Ike inks.

CHARLESTON, NAT 16.

By the schomoser Liberty, arrived yesterday in tea days
from Cape Haytien, we learn that all was quiet ni that place.
The temporary excitemeut which had been some time since
produced by the operations of some French vessels of war
in Samoan& Bay, had entirely subsided, and the hands of the
Government bid beets much aireogiliened by extension of its
authority to every section of the island. The national
guards, composted of •It the young men of the country, were
in • tough state of discipline ■nd equipment. A review of
about 6,000 of these troops took place at the Capes a few
days h►fote the Liberty sailed.
Markets for Arneriein prodace were very doll; rice wa■
selling slowly at Ere dollars, and Sour at ten ; colonial pro-
duce to general, particularly coffee, wan scarce sad high.
