LATE AND IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM THE CO-
LOMBIAN REPUBLIC.
The Colombian aimed schooner Aga/11a, Commodtire Daniels,
arrived at Norfolk on Sunday afternoon from La Guayra.—
The Commodore himself arrived in this city this morning by
the steam-boat from Norfolk, in excellent health and high
spirits.
By the Aguilla, letters and papers have been received in
town, furnishing very satisfactory intelligence from the
Republic of Colombia, among which we leave the pleasure
to announce a fresh triumph of the Republican Arms before
Porto Cabello—no less a triumph than the surrender of the
PRINCIPAL FORT ON THE MAIN LAND, which gives the in=
dependent army a commanding position to bombard the island
in the harbour, which is now the last hold of the Spaniards. They
cannot obtain any succour or support of any kind, except what
they may chance to get by sea, and of this resource they will soon
be deprived. The following is the capitulation alluded to :—.

Solano, which completely commands the Town and Castle of
Porto Cabello.

Forty of, the officers and men who surrendered as above were
put on hoard the Aguila, then about to sail for the United
States, with orders to the Commodore to land .them at Porto
Rico. She sailed from La Guayra on 28th May, but springing
her mast was obliged to put into St. Thomas's, and it is
with much satisfaction. we have perused the following letter, so
creditable to the understanding and good feeling of Commodore
Daniels:—

ST. THOMAS'S, JUNE 1, 1822.

SlR—The accompanying communication from the Inten-
dancia of Venezuela will inform your Excellency, that I have
been intrusted with the care and protection of forty-seven offi-
cers and soldiers, to be landed and placed in your handi at
Porto Rico. •
On my passage from La Guayra, at which place they were
put on board, we experienced very, boisterous weather, and my
vessel had the misfortune to injure her mainmast so badly as to
rompeinie to enter this harbour for its..preservation.. As con -

derable time will be required to repair the damages which leave
been.sustained, and Captain Montero and his companions have
expressed great anxiety to be landed as early as . possible at the
place of their destination; I have been induced, in order to meet
their wishes, to freight a vessel, on board of which they are now
embarking with their arms and baggage. Ample stores of pro.,
visions have been added for their support until they arrive and
shall be placed under your Excellency's better care and protec-
tien. 1 must, however, respectfully observe, that no pains hate
been spared to render the situation of Captain Montero, and
those under his command, as comfortable as possible; and trust
this Gentleman's report to your Excellency on this subject will
confirm what I have thus the honour to intrude upon you, and
afford new evidence, that war may be prosecuted without a tic.,
lation of the feelings of humanity, and with a due considers,
tion of what its unfortunate victims have a right to claim. • •
I have the honour to remain, with the highest sentiments of
respect, Sir, your Excellency's very obedient Servant,
3. D. DANIELS, Com. Colombian Service.
His Excellency the Governor of Porto Rico,

St. John's.
Letters describe the prospects of the country to be of a very
cheering nature, and the prosperity and happiness of the Re..
public is anticipated in very glowing colours. Assurances had
been received from London, that the Colombian Government
could have any supplies it wished, and to any amount, from,
England. A frigate and a corvette of war,. for the use of the.
Republic, were about to sail from a British port, at the date of
their last accounts fl-om Europe. &a' Robert Wilson, so distin.:
guished in the British Parliament, had sent his sun to Colombia:,
to enter the military service of the Itepublic, Re has bgen
placed on the President's Staff. _ -
Col. Macnamara, Commissary General to Gen. D'Evereax,
had returned from London, and proceeded from Caraccas tO
the General at Santa de Bagota. It is supposed he bi'ought
out commtthications of importance for the Government.
