Letters from tile Island of St. Thomas, dated the
25th of May, state that the city of Caraccas has
been taken by the Independents, who entered it on
the 12th. The following particulars are given of
the mode in which this conquest was effected :—Oa
the conclusion of the armistice, the Spanish Generals
Morales and La Torre concentrated their whole force
about Valencia and Calaboso, leaving Canteens
wholly unprotected. Gen. Bennudez,who command-
ed a division under Bolivar, perceiving this over-
sight, marched upon the city with 1200 men. On
his march he encountered an advanced post of 300
mea, whom he repulsed with ease ; and the Cover-
nor who marched out of the city to their assistance
at the head of 600 men, was also defeated. He
retreated into Caraccas, and summoned the Pro-
visional Junta, whom be infbrmed that they had
nothing left but to make the best terms they could
with the enemy. A parley ensued., in which it
was demanded of Gen. Bermudez, whether he would
adhere to that article of the treaty of Truxil'o by
which the treatment of conquered places was rzgu-
hued, and being answered in the affirmative, they
declared themselves ready to meet them as friends.—
Those adherents of the Spanish Government who
considered their safety to be compromised, fled to La
Gnyra, the sea-port to Caraccas, where they shipped
all the property they could collect on hoard the
ships in the harbour, and sailed for Poerto Cavello.
The Governor and all the troops accompanied them.
His Majesty's ship Sapphire, which was lying at St.
Thomas's, sailed on the I3d of May fur La Guayra
and Puerto Covello, for the protection of the British
property at those places
The following is the conclusion of an article con-
cerning Buonaparte :—" History, which judges im-
partially, will acknowledge that Napoleon hus ren-
dered eminent services to social order. {The promul-
gation of the Codes by which we are now governed,
notwithstanding the man• imperfections of the Penal
Code, is a benefit which will not be lost for gene-
rations to come; one portion of Europe is already
deprived of it. We will not speak of that immense
military glory which is universally admitted ; the
improvements in the internal government, the public
works, the system of finance, possesses still higher
claims to admiration, Finally, now that Buonaparte
is dead, truth ought to repose upon his grave; and
let us not be afraid to avow it, the exile of St.
Helena will be reckoned among the greatest of'
mortals."—Constitutielnel.
