RIO DE LA BACHE.

Extract of a letter from General Montilla, corn.
mender of the expedition from Margarita,
June the 4th, ou hoard Briou's squadron. Afirr
relating the gallant action, iu which 700 of his tura
repulsed more than 2,000 of the Spaniards, he thus
continues :

* The advantage gave me the highest hope of being able
to advance on Santa Martha, and co-operate with Urdaneta's
division in the reduetion of that place: but say troops, who
bad long bees discontented at the privations they endored,
and particularly at the want of pay, which I was utterly un-
able to give them, refused to advance a step further unless
all their claims were satisfied iu full. 1 represented to them
the impossibility of complying with their retieest, and urged
them to march fur Santa Martha, eisgagiug to give them the
whole OM the capture of that place. This had no effect,and
they threatened to burn and pleader La Maybe, and de-
sert to the Spaaiards, where they would be certain, they
mid, to be liberally paid. The Spaaisrde, however, ad re-
treated so far after their last I 1 r G•is t , that there was us prosi.
Witty of overtaking them. I then represented to tberel it
• them

....mois--that it was impossible for t. -to remake tb. r..rr
to get away without co-operation with oar last—ai,d
posed, as the march by laud to Seem Martha had bete fsiima
inspeactieshle, that they should go thither by sea. This
they consented to, but sot till they had honied a part
of she tura, and plundered Ilse miserable iuhativiant-,
of Rio de In Baehr. 1 had previously laid an timbale.,
on the mirth is the harbour, so hoard of which 1
had the troops csitiveyed in boats; sod, having memo:err-
ed the matter with Admiral Brion, each party, on coating
on beard, were quietly disarmed, and placed in coeliac-
MM. When the whole were embarked, 1 caused theta to
he info/mod that I dislaimed all ion with tribe, •
who so far disregarded the rules of discipline as to demand
their pay at a wrameut when they brew it was impossidCe
to comply with the request, sod who threatened to burn sod
destroy the houses or &sunder-the .persons of their hirsute
amid allies, as a revenge fur seeh a refusal. Th.? were at
liberty, I told them, to p wherever they plumed, that their
arias were safely deposited oa Aire, sad that the Republic
had so further occasion for their services. Tbe whok lase
ailed fur Jamaica."
