ocroseß 13.

Notwithstanding we have no general movement or battle
to record in tow Bulletins, we have the satisfaction to an-
mousses to the army the progress of the advanced coops, the
discredit of the miemy in all the territory which lie occupies,
mid the happy auspices under which the approaching cam-
paigu will be opened.
The detachments and Guerillas of the brigade of General
Zaraaa have had frequent encomia.' s with parties of the ene-
my in the district► of Chagnaramal, Orimaco, Clonguartimis,
and CaMario, su which we have always been VO'llsiluta.,
venting the enemy from obtaining cattle, seising cher timers,
killing the Comilla Chiefs, Coniniaudants Bochum, Lugo,
Rutin°, sud Cacaressu, and Captains Jose Medina and Tries_
pier Escobar, and many of their soldiers, and taking a num-
ber of prisoners
The results of Om operations of the flying camps, which
the Army of the 11 est maintain+ in the enemy's teraitory,
have been more decisive and more important.
Lieutenant-Culunel Vicente Pena, towards the end of
August last, having penetrated as far as Aste Gracia, in the
jurisdiction of San Carlos, encountered a body uf 200 cavalry
of Memorial, under the command of Ton alba, attacked it,
and completely routed it, killing a poi lion of the melt, taking
40 prisoners, among whom was the Cuiniumider himself, 300
km sea acid 300 cattle, which it was conducting to Sau Carlos,
without suffering the smallest loss.
The corps under the cunimand of Lieutenant-Colonel Jose
Jesus Angulo, winch scoured the other bank of the Apure,
was equally siorcessful in encionitering at Julio a party of
the enemy of 2110 men under the order or Falmeru, conduct-
ing 500 cattle Calmer° was completely heat, and wade his
escape with sone others, on foot througis the thickets, leas.
img many dead On the field, and more than fifty prisoners in
uur power, all their horses, proviiions, Sce.
Umber flying camp of those which ore employed in front
of San Fernando, penetrated in pursuit of a part of the
enemy as far as the environs of Calaboso, without meeting
wills any obstacle; but nothing is so iuteresting as the event
of the Spanish Commander Rocha, who with tAree hundred
cavalry placed tinder his orders its the jurisdiction of San
Carlos, passed over to us, ■ud joined Lieutenant-Calomel
Vicente l'ena, who carries on operations in that territory,
hringiiig with bon all the useful horses and mules al Isis dis-
posal, and all the provisions he had collected to send to
San Catlos. This Officer assures us, that by his junction
the enenly's cavalry is reduced to nothing.
Crum the declarations of Itocha and Torralha, and the
other prObolleflt made eel the Lower Apure, and those of all
the psis/niers made hi the brigade of Guieral Zarazi, aud of
all the individuals who :toe incesaantly joining us, the m-
oult is, that the Pros Mee of Cur,, is iu a complete stale of in-
surrection against the p•:rty (dace Kiug. It is a good many
days since this notice was communicated to us, but no use
has been made of it till now, that this information coming
to us from all parts, aud which gives the greatest certainty
of its troth, it Is mot wished to keep ■ny longer from the
army the knowleike of so important so event.

recto! it to the Comm indant Martinis de Orinoco, to he
deliecie,l to the ca.., Ecclesiastic, you had gone to the in-
tenor ..1 the Llano., as far Si Chagnammus, and it was
tuiposgible t,: give it to you. Unfortunately the mission
of this re..prcbilile Priest wa.; then without any effect; but
now that circumstacces ought to present you with the true
state of things as they are in themselves, and that the latest
events leave no room to sespecting the let mutation of
6.. ilk:mm.olls war, it sr. nu to me that you will endea-
vour to avail yourself of the favourable oppurinuity which
now present.' it elf lawfully serving your country.
I repeat the 11S,11t1111CC to you of what 1 then .aid, and Fa-
ther SOO is specially iustrucled to chew you various ori.
gitial &commis, which will give you much light respecting
your fate, and • liable you to judge of your companiuus.
It will rejoice me exceedingly if you sincerely embrace
the party of the king, and contribute to the pacification of
Veuesuels, Ink, n good subj. ct of I.IR Majesty, which is what

Silt—carious pinto:mat p.isons if this capital have as-
sured me of your rood seminieuts; and that your rood
random, amidst the iiritatiiins which hwe devastated these
lientittfol pi.ivitires, has out been stained by the crutch and
sanguinary actions which are reducing it to a vast desert.
These eame individuals have persuaded me that you are not
far twin Isnowiag your true interests, and the happiness of
yGur flolthtly, upiiir hued by so many disasters. The love of
humanity, the desire by w Inch I no animated, that a general
reconciliation should turniisiste the horrors of a civil war,
and that all the inhabit suits of Venezuela should return to
the esijoyment of the goods of peace and abundance, induce
me to yield to the sit pplieat lulls sit such good subject. of Isis
Majesty, to asi...re you that the commission intrusted to the
Priest, Bachelor Dun Ju.e Gabriel Sutel, emanates from my
authority; and that ale propositions which shall be verbally
made to you by this tztellent Lcclesiastic, are guarauteali by
my smell.
You will remain in the service of his Majesty with the
eutniiiiiiiii of the WI Is you have limier your rude, s ;
and I will give you, sit the name of the ling, a military
rank which will authorise you to obtain it, and which will
be proportioned to the services and merits which, by your
sohneission, you will resider to Iris Majesty.

be able to cointribute to the liapeiticia of his Allow-crea-

demand the termination of a war of brethren, which is at
