THE PRITIS II PRES S.

LON DON,
THURSDAY, JULY 45, 1822.

We have received New York Papers to the Ist
instant. They contain" mrith. iaspOrtaiie informa-
tion. The principal fort on the main land of
Puerto Cabello
'has capitulated to the Colombian
arms. By this success the latter have acquired a
confounding ,position to bombard the island in'the.
harbour, wliich. is the last hold, of the Spaniards.
The capitulation, of which we give a copy, is dated
17th Mdy. This news is rendered more grateful
by the circulation of previous accounts of an ad-
verse character from that quarter, stating that a
combined 'tuck by sea and land had been made
on I'uerto Cabello by the Colombian forces, in
which the letter were 'repulsed with loss, and Gen.
Pen was reported to have been wounded in the
action. The fall of Puerto Cabello will complete
the tri smith of the Colombian Republic.
These Papers Olio Contain a copy of the Commer-
cial Treaty; between France and the United Siiiteti..
It proceeds on the hafis of perfect reciprocity.
A neg•ociation, it is said, was carrying on at So-
mas, for the cession of part of the island of St.
Domingo to the Fre•ek.
