COUNTY MAYO.

CASTLEBAR, FEBRUARY 21.

On the night of the 15th instant a party of Rib-
bonnet's-cane to the house of a Mr. Cunning-
ham, near the town of Kilmainr, at the extremity of
this county, and required his arms. Some hevita-
lion having been observed nn c 'dying with this
demand, the fellows burst in the door and secured
the arms, which they took away. They threatened
to burn the house, which is thatched, if resistance
was made. They also tendered oaths to the owner,
which, we learn with pleasure, he had the courage
to refuse taking, and they went off without doing
him injury. When they had got to a short dis-
tance from the house they fired a volley. as if front
a great many wisps, and shunted several times.--

Trinidad, Jan 9. MO.

ly DFAR Slri...My last to you was dated the 14th ult.
since when I have none of your favours. By this packet I
shall make up a boodle of Newspapers for you, and apply at
the Net ()thee to have them frauked, whirls, if I eau obtain,
will prevent the heavy expense usual in the ordinary way of
wending them. You will find they contain very interestiog
matter relating to the affairs of the iseichhouriug Continent.
"It appears that General Fanuhlett succeeded in forcing his
way through the Royalist army, under Lahore, Will
by Murillo to prevent his return to Yentrnela, and that
he made mood, in conjunction with Paex, on the Apure, but
the other division of Bolivar's army, which was commanded
by bins in person, and consists of 5,000 recruits from N. w
Granada, were opposed by lAtorre on their march from Ca.
cuts, and although oat action took place on the occasiuu, Bo-
livar deemed it prudent to hall, anal wait Mail he could
strengthen himself, before be made 30 attack also' the Roy-
alists, posted in his route to dispute the rood with him. He
hes in cousequence come by another road himself to the
Apure, and ordered General Pries to march in the direction
of rruxillu, and endeavour by this maisueuvre to place La-
twee between him and flulivar'a army, at Cucuta, seal then
both to attack him. If Latorrr, who was at Wall's, is
nut appeased of Ibis in time to make g I has retreat,
he must be cut to pieces. You will toil that Bolivar
has been to Angostura, where be remained only ten days,
and then set out fur the Apace, to take the command of the
army assembling at hi. F do, eousistitig of the Bin's!'
Legion and Creole Troops, from the provitices of Comnoe
and Barcelona. My letters elate that he will march for Ca- '
✓ocas is February ant' 10,000 men. The Bilatists have uo
force that can contend against this army, anal, in conse-
quence, Caraca must fall, and with it the Spanish police us
the Main. :New Granada and Venernela are united unsler
one Government, now styled the Colunibian Republic. 1
send you the law passed on this occasion, which guarantees
the debt contracted by both provinces. I hare a letter from
Colonel Stopfurtl, dated at Angostura, ISth December, in
which he acquaints me, that he was to leave that in ease
hour, to take the'commaud of the biol. Legion at slarga.
✓im, and looped immediately to make a landing wills them
ou the Spanish feast, sod from the esprfitUCC and kiln.' ledge
he bas gained of the arsitstry while there a ills the Bridals
Legion, the happiest results are anticipated." I have a let-
ter from Mrs. English, dated at !Bargain'', the 24th Novem-
ber, is "Brick she speaks of the kind sad handsome treat-
ment she has experienced there from Brion, since English's
death, and declares her determination nut to quit the CusIll•
try until she has seen Bolivar, and arranged all accounts
with him. Sae leas befit unwell, but was quite ricusered.
