triotism of ili. Motlkr Country ; 'and already have
the fadious and intriguing designs of Buonaparte up-

GAZETTE OFFICE, TOBAGO, AUG. 1.-.-By an ar-
rival this morning from Grenada; we have received,
the following intelligence :
" ST. GEORGE'S, JULY 27.—8 y a 'vessel from
Trinidad, arrived last night, we learn that the Go-
vernment of Caracas-, with the neighbouring. pro-
vinces, have declared themselves AD. Independent
State; and at peace with; Great Britain ; that a num-
ber of their vessels, under Spanish colours, daily, ar-'
rive at Trinidad ; and that they had expelled every
Frenchman from
,the Spanish territories onmtite
Main. Order's froth the AdMiral have been r • ed-
Imre; for the release of the Spanish prisoners -figivar.
in this port, and they are to sail to-morrow foil Santa
IVfargaretta." It is corroborated by
received other, ace g
here, although not in. its full extent. Letters:
from Martinique of 'the 25th ult. mention, that on
the arrival of the Acasta at Margaretta, the white
Bag (as a signal.of truce) was hoisted by the Sa-
niardi; and a most friendly reception given to Capt.
BEAVER. He proceeded from thence to CUMana,
and on to Caracas ; along the whole coast every
French vessel had been embargoed, and all commu-
nication put an end to with the. French Lit inds.
The accounts from Martinique also thew the diS-
tressing effe.ets of the American Embargo, operating
ten-fold upon them to what it does on any of the
tritkh Islands. The following is given by the latest
accounts from thence of the average price of Ame-
rican prix isions :—Flour 40, beef 55, and pork 40
dollars per barrel ; rice 14, and tobacco 50 dollars
rar cwt. ; butter 38 dollars per firkin ; fish 18 dial-
rs per quintal: The bit loaf only 2} ounces. . .
