FURTHER DISASTERS OF TIIE SPANISH ARMY.
Atit.i.ilura, April 2.1, IMO.

We have received news from the arsitywiihiu the last few
days, slating that an action had taken place which had ter.
'Masted to the arlyantaee of the Patriots ; the Spaniards
having apwan:a of 200 killed and wounded—the Pallrliptit
not a quarter of that number. This occurred between the
ditrisiou of General Sardinia. and the Spanish rear-guard.
Front Westbrooke's stay in Aagoistetra, we derive some
information to be relied on respecting the state of the Pa-
triot army, now haring its head quarters at St. John's.
The discipline and clothing of the troops equal* all that
mild be expected. The IWO s.ity of living continually on
beef, and a small quantity daily of cassava bread, from
Jelog habit, is not of course the hardship to then, whirl,
an soldiers consider it. It is here, by the bye, as in
F.asice, in the time of Bonaparte; every buy when old
enough to become useful, either os an artificer or agricul.
wrist, is compelled to bear arms for garrison duty, tu the
places the Patriots 110 W have possession of; thus contri-
buting lii promote Ili,' 10dC1/1.10/COCP of their country.
The I.lalieres (piniole of the plains) attached to the bd.
vile of Getural Pair, from 2 to 3,000 strong, appear to be
st very formidalile people, much resembling the Russian
Cossacks—a hardy race, soldiers by choice, and long accus-
tomed 1,, the Giterilb mode of war. To them this roam, y
is much indebted for its present safety, for it appears they
principally have kept the Spaniards so loog at hay. They
nee mounted on small hardy looms, and armed with an ellof-
tirlES lance, which they use with great agility. 'they ave-
rage more than live feet till inches, and many of them the
more than six feet in height.
Ac to the itlativc strength of the opposing armies, the

xi' y of rayally, however. possessed by Ilse Patriots, enables
them to useintoin their eronad natant this disparity of tutee.
A ileiachinent, 1,500 strung;, has been scut by the Spaniarde
in the dirertiou of this place, and they have actually hien
within a day and a half'. march of us; but the arrival of
the English troops has induced them to change their route,
vud viiH, 1 dare say, continue to bind thi; Spaniards some
ukber employment than dispatching parties hither.
We hear, that funr of the shim, conveying pitrt of the
eletachinent of.Culoucl English, have arrived at Margarita,
'bringing :AO men. On the arrival of the whole, as attack
is immediately to be made upon the coast, pre bully at Ca.

iimilofol with British assistatice, it is proposed to advance
front Cionana to Comer as, as being a preferable mode of
to the capture of La Gnyra, in cossiiinitence of the

might makes strong and protracted resistance.
