gostura, on the 10th of last month, r that 111brino,
who hitherto had acted independent of Bolivar and
others, had acknowledged Bolivar as Chief of the
Republic, as all the other Patriot Generals had
done before, and that he had joined heartily in the
general plan of attack with his 1,500 well-diacip•
lined troops. Pita is at Fernandez de Aupura

correct. the absence of the Duke of CUalliltall.•ND
from England might indeed be fairly attributed
to the ungenerous and unjust severity with which
the Queen repulsed her niece from the precincts
of her Court. The delicate texture of a female
mind could, under any circumstances, but ill
brook the glance of suspicion; but not even a
muse of centscious rectitude could support it when
in the peculiar situation of the Duchess of Cust-
IIIttLAMD. it was natural that she should flee
from the scene of her sufferings, and seek this
balm of consolation where her character was better
known and her merits more highly apprecisted.
With respect to the Duke of Camaatocsa, it must
be rememliered, that he is now filling • high official
situation of extreme responsibility in the kingdom
of Hemmer ; and the absence of the Duchess of
IIaSSE Hosinotnto can be excused by a reference
to her husband's will. The case, however, of the
Duke of CLARrsce is most peculiarly and honour-
ably exempt from the suspicion which his absence
from England at such a moment might be supposed
to create. Hiss Royal Highness has been nisiformly
distinguished by the display of every generous feel-
ing, awl in a heart where the domestic affections
Live peculiarly funned their abode, it could never
be supposed that filial love and tenderness were
wanting. it is out long since we noticed his lib-
seuce from this country, with expressimis of
*meow. nut from au ignorance of the motives
that caused it, bnt with a desire of drawing
the atteolion of the Ministers and the coin.-
try to its consequences, and thereby pronintisig
the uteasis of his return. On the lamented death ;if

were, of centered on her Royal uncles, and

on the griveroeity of the country, demanded in mar-

his offer accepted. l'asliarnent, however, thought it
right to refuse such it grant as would be consistent
pith his bank in thelitate, and his. Itoyol Highness,
aware of the inadequacy of the establishment pro-
posed for bile), did not feel himself justified its ac-

the English, on account of their arrogant preten-
sions and bad conduct. Colette! Wilson, an Eng-
lishman, has lately been condemned to imprison-

" If all these accounts are true, I have very
little doebt, that if the Patriot Chiefs remain
united, Venezuela will be cleared of the Royalists
in the course of the text campaign, unless they
should receive strong reinforcements from Old
Spain, which, however, is not likely. I under-
stood there is a proclamation in town made by
Bolivar, as Chief of the Republic, dated the 15th
of August, in which lie promises victory, &c. and
calls on all Patriots for a cordial co-operation, par-
ticularly of Grenada. which be intends to attack.
May it please the Almighty soon to stop the lior-
rible.bloodshed in these unfortunate Provinces!
" A few days ago arrived here Captain Brown,
of. the schooner Eliza. of New York ; this schoOner
was bound from bete to Rio de la Hatches or St.
Martha. Near the coast she was overhauled by a
Royal Spanish privateer, commissioned by the Go-
vernor of Rio de Is Hatch., who wantonly fired
into her, after having taken in all sail. While the
Captain was iu his boat, going from his schooner
to the privateer, they were pouring volleys of mus.
ketry at him ; and on boarding the Mize, one of the
Spaniards deliberately, took situ at, and shot a Mr.
Willionis, part owner of the Eliza, through the
heart !! ! They then plundered the vessel, and res.
rird her into Rio de la liittchs, where Captain
Brown made a protest, and gut a part of the thins
stolen from him restored ; his schooner was so.
torn to pieces, that be had to sell her. I under.
stand that Captain Brown has made the proper
communications to the President of the United
Stairs, and 1 hope such a foul murder will not be
suffered to pass, without proper stitisfaction being
given, and the injury„ as far as pussitle. redressed
to this unfortunate man."

" Since writing the foregoing, we Isere received
accounts from Hayti, stating that Boyer had totally
