CHESTED, TUESDAY, fhee p.
We hnve received -the following particulars from
passengers by to-day's Manchester coach :

sion on the moirinblage, soil retired. A strong divi-
si,,u of cavalry now presented itself iu the rear of
the police : they. halted, and remained stationary.
This movement was soon observed by Hunt, and
he immediately begat' to harangue those near the
Ostrom : again telling them nut to fear swot wa-
diers. and treating y them with much ridicule ; his
hat wet again freelyr circulated round his head, and
H tremenilmis shooting commenced on all sides,
iutermited with limit hissing against the yeomanry.
The zavalry now formed closer together, and soon
after commenced a general charge; opposition was
useless--ritinihers presented hide in the way of
obstacle—the mob were overthrown in all quarters.
I.uud screams were heard —the cavalry. proceeded
in their Custree, bearing down all beTore them.

New Bailey.
At this period the horse were seen in various

Morales at Calabogo. This last corps app►ared to be ap-
proaching Marines. bend Omani &ISt. Diego de Cabrutica;
and while Cusaasscos was occupied by part of Bermudez'
army, the remainder was to join Marino.—Mair readers
have lately seen the result of this movement on the part of
the Spikenards; Mariao having completely routed them with
the lose of about 1,000 men, their baggage, &c.)—The
Royalists have left 300 melt in St. rentstado, and Dias has
sailed with his flotilla and gun-boats to drive them out. 1
think it a chance if a man of the garrison escape. Thus,
in the inferior of Vesegseia,.every their is going 03 well
and solidly.
" With regard to the coast,f oar happy to inform you, that
ow the 13th sailed the expedition from Margarita, composed
of thirteen armed ships and fire transports, having on board
1,6411 British sad 340 Margpiritans; that on the 16th, it

" le New Granada the people are well prepared fur the ar-

tainly the Veneenelan Government sending thither that
General, yaw is a native of that . country sad a man of

appears, bad promised loin a very large subsidy in money. if

" The Venestsclans sad Itcynoitos are indeed essentially
