" Baranquille, September 13, 1820.
" Os the let of September, the Spaniards, to the amount
of two bundred, made a sortie Soot Carthagena, upon Tor.
leaco, the head-quarters of oar blockashog army, cousivting
of 15 Irish infantry, 200 Margaritteans, and 800 Creoles, of
the adjacent towns to Bd. lingual'. The Creole*, upon the
first Are, ran away, our pour fellows remained 111 she square
until every one else had fled, and were at last obliged to fol.
low the best way they could. Lienteimst Barnes, of the ar-
tillery, would not leave big pia, but remained eadeavouriing
to Ilse bee by himself, uutil killed by • Spanish Captain,
who was afterwards himself bayoneted. Di. O'Reilly got •
shot thrones WNW, 1114 Lies teasel *stow Aireogh bib
legs. This is all that happened to our people, but the infa-
mous conduct of the Commanding Officer, 1111 allowing him-
self to be surprised, is worse than you or any one can con-
ceive. It is supposed the Spaniards maile an attempt fur the
person of sloe Pre.ideni, who bad left the tow.' only a few
hours before they e•tered. The enemy quilted the town in
about two bones murdering about 130 men, women, sod
children, who had Red to the church for protection. Gene-
ral D'Evereex has been dangerously ill this week past with
fever and dysentery • it bas now taken a f ble turn,
but he is so ref uce.d, that it will take him a mouth to re-
cover.

you, that Mr. O'lllttilan wore the Siole, ornamented with
shamrock', made by an the day the Ts Darts
was song, when Bolivar was present, and of which be is
very proud. The rainy season is now analog on, and it is
very severe spon campaigner.. It is a most estmordinsry
fact, that the climate of Santa Fe is so very cold, that,
when the army nader Bolivsett command were 'starching to
attack that place, though they had been exposed to the
greatest rain, none were lost, but a, anon S 8 OM they en-
tered the cold climate, thirty Europeans were popped off
by the severe uureinittleg cold. There is every hope that
this campaign will close the whole of the bweiseite, provided
Cartkagena aud Saute Martha fall, of which) very little
doubt can be entertained. We are all longing to get up to
Caraccas, which is, by all accounts, the amts beautiful
