SOUTII AMEBIC/1N INTKLL.IGENCE.

Extract of a letter front the Captain of the Swi-
nish brig El Perinon, of 17 gull% appointed to
cruise in the Golf of Guena, tinted Trinidad. the
11th a Felorstary, 1818:
'` Senor D. Pablo Murillo, General in Chief, is in the in-
terior ur the provinces, and, by Ins wise arrangements,. hai
thrice defeated the rebels who advanced from the 41rouuko.
Once more our Hrigadier-Geueral, Dun Miguel Is Torre, on
tholld of December, in the plain of Bar►elonn, (unwieldy
dented al Sanwa the van guard of Bolivar, with the loss, on
the part of the enemy, of one thousand funr hundred men,
Iwo cannons, one thouvand muskets, revers tumbrill% four
standards, &c. and all the live stock, horses, and camp-bag-
gage which they po n eee ed. On the 24th 'ult. its
the rebels He rmutles and Monte: were rented, and lost 400
men, all their anstunnitiuu, soil many eland of small utmv.
In S tit Fernando de Apure, 'Misfir lost, on the 10th, ult.
souther battle, leaving behind him, on his retreat, many
men, arms mud minnionit.on, five cautions, /kr. our titres
being consuoinded by Colonel D. Antonin Calsada and Cul.
Cowin. Our Chief at Conisnacir was Lieutenant-Colonel
Aran% with his troop de la Reyns, and 200 town under the
command utDun Agustin Nognera.

" One of the canoes which cnntributes moat to *foment the
insurrection is, the great number of insurgent privuteere
maimed by English, French, and Americans. Its November
there arrived at Mt. Thomas's from England, in an English
vessel, 32 Officers, and a Colonel, of all uatiuns, English,
Prussians, ik.c. In Derenther there arrived at the same
island, 42, then 55, anal now, at Grenada, 220. The greatest
number of these Officers are English, of different services,
some of them of the marine, enlist' il by the agents of ibn
Insurgents, partieulai ly lay Mendez, a 'tat ice of the Career-as.
Many die of ilisetee ; anal others, haring been witaessea of
the pillage and bad government of the lusurgenis, have ie.
turned. But many, either urged nit by want, or teal by ervio-
luiiiniery and ambitious hopes,fullow the standard of Pohirir.
" On the 16th of October, Bolivar put to death Piar, attic
of his former Generals. That Mulatto, a tattier of Euricoa,
and a shoemaker, pretended to deprive Bolivar of his eima-
Initial, who has likewise proscribed Marino. The latter is at
present :n Margaretts, not dating to rifillte to Trinidad on
account of two proserutiotta alpinist him, the tine for the
rubbery of an American, the other for having ynepit,d
aeainst our coast., in January, 1813, iii the island under
English jurisdiction, called Cbacachaeare, an armed expedi-
tion, In which there weie several military men of that island.
Nevertheless, as he has now become obnoxious both to the
Royalists anal to the Inourgenta, he bas solicited leave to
come herr, and, aa I am told, has obtained it.
"The Insurgent, who call. himself Admiral Brion, is or.
miring a squadron, composed of several vessel's; I believe
it will amount to ten brigs 'oil gallica. On our side, we have
for Commandantlu-Chief, Dou Jose Maria Charon, Captain

of a frigate, with a corvette of 28 guns and another of 32.
Five peeks:, of from S to 12 guns, arc preparing in Puerto
Cabello, oar naval station.
" I believe that our army is composed of about IP,OOO
men, distributed in different parts, from Farina', the banks
of the Orouoku, to the plains and the province of Caracess
and Maracaibo. The enemy have certain persons, n: (Ir-
dasitta and Baez, with a small force, fur Farina., and Boli-
var for the Oronnko. A great part of our troops are Euro-
peans, good soldiers, and all accustomed to the climate. The
Creoles are likewise well organised, av likewise the VIVA I y.
Commerce is principally confined to the coast of Tess
Firma, though these is nut half the tiade stow that existcd
these obeli our teiritories enjoyed tiaiiquilltty."

An alarming fire broke out on the premises of
B. Tst.nte, E.q. Burnhum•cross, near Uxbridge,
early on Sunday morning, which destroyed the iii.
terior. It was occasioned by the linen liking tire
which was left to dry in the laundry. A foot-bow
who slept over the laundry, which is a ai.ig of the
dwelling-Lowe, wits severely burnt, and the Cr-
truly inurowly escaped.
