ng constantly the enemy in check : never
did the Liberator display more firmness and
he•reaisin, nor did he ever expose himself
so much—he had three horses killed under him,
and Was wounded by two balls, without losing
his ►:aur_froitl ; he had only with him six thousand
;nett., and if die late reinforcements had j'►ined

him in time the victory would have• been his.
The Spaniards had double the force and %very su-

petior in cavalry.

Thvy say Cattterac is sever,,ly

wounded ; his loss must have ,hewn tremendous,
foi Bolivar had the command of the heights,
from whence he poured tt destiuctivk fire

of artillery on the Spaniards as tht•y ad-
tanc.ed. By the last accounts, Bolivar had gone•
to Guayaquil to organize his reinforcements.
Cautvrac has entered Colombia, but his victory

will he of little profit to him, as the Colombians

art' every %Owrt in popwssion of Ow pascps, anti

he crinuot wake use of his cavalry in tile rnouu-

to ins. As soon as the troops lately sent from here
arrive, Bolivar will be able to take the field
again, and no doubt give a good acrount of the
Spaniards. lam grieved to say, that both Ge—
nerals Cordova and Ililler are dead : they fell
gliwiously in the cause of liberty. Here we en-
teliain no apprehensions. Your's, I'. It.
• It t ill be seen, says the Editor of tin' Boston
Sei2l.inel, by the above, that Bolivar had retreated
to Guayaquil, about 300 miles north of Truxillo,
and that the Spunisli Army had entered Co-
1111111bia.

It appears extraordinary, that Bolivar's force
in the battle should not have exceeded 6,000,
as all our former accounts estimated it at the
lowest at 1'2,000, and none made the tipani h

au) more than 8,000 strong. Gen. Miller, above
nie.ntioned, was a very gallant English Officer
'ho had rrcently served in the Columbian army.

( From the Agent.)

While I am writing I am compelled to keep
my eye on the watch, in order to save the ship
%hich saili in a few moments; you will find that

the battle was fought on the 17th of September,
near TruxUlo. i have not a moment more to say

Among our extracts from the French Journals
of Tuesday will be found an article from the
Journal des Winds, on the state of affairs and par-
ties at Lisbon, which will he found to possess

considerable interest at the present moment.
We deem it proper to repeat what we stated
yesterday, that the different and opposite parties,
sshich appear to exist in that capital had not
come into collision up to the date of our last
uccounts,as was reported in the Journaldes
►►od some other French Journals of Monday,

A Flanders I\iail arrived this morning, bring-
ing Brussels Papers to the 20th instant. They
contain au article from Stockholm contradicting

"IP report some time since circulated by a
London Journal, on the authority of private let-
Aertt from the Swedish capital, that the King of
Sweden, CuAnLEs JOHN, Intended to abdicate in
favour of his son Prince Osc.m. With the ex-
cPption of that intelligence and the following ar-
thle,ss they do not furnish any information of the
least interest :

BRUSSELS, JAx. 17.

teird Erskine, Ambassador from England to the Court of
Wurtemburg, who arrived in this city two days ago, set out
this, morning for Stuttgard.
A Russian Cabinet Messenger paused through this city this
morning ; he came from St. retershurgh with dispatches for
t'4e Russian Ambassador at the Court of the Netherlands, and
having delivered them continued his journey for Lolidon with-
out stopping.

It seems doubtful what will be the fate of the project of law
relative to the French coin, the ♦otes on which in the First
Chamber were equally divided.
It is said that the Members of the First Chamber, who are
absent for various reasons, will soon be in their places, and that
the project of law will undergo a second disctvision.

SWITZERLAND, JAN s.

'rile Council of State of the Canton of Vaud had ordered
-14. Joseph Schmid, of Yverdun, to quit the Canton with-
in 81-x weeks. M. Pestalozzi, by his urgent entreaties, has
ob'ained the prolongation of the time till the Ist of March.
Thin indulgence has been granted out of particular regard for
the venerable founder of the Institution at Yverdun. The
Council of State has addressed to him a remarkable rescript,
which breathes a paternal benevolence. M. Pestalozzi, in his
atiswer, declared that he was going immediately to quit the
Canton with his friend Schmid, and that he -intended proceed-
ing to Paris, and there found an Institution.

Five of the liamburgh Mails due yesterday
arrived this morning. They bring accounts from
that town to the 15th instant, and ire have ex-

tracted tl►e most interesting articles :

PETERSBU RG, JAN.I.

Yesterday and the day before, his 31ajesty the Emperor
visited those parts of the city which suffered the most by the
Itte inundation. 31. de Ribeaupierre continues to remain
1',4*0 since his return from his estates. Among thn sums
lately received for the sufferers by the late inundation, are
10,000 rubles from Messrs. Rothschild at Vienna.
navigation at Croustade appears to have ceased on the
14th of last month. _

STOCKHOLM, JAN. 4.
Agriculture, which has made such progress in Sweden
within these twenty-five years, continues to be carried on
with increased activity, The Province of Mahn6e, i❑

Scania imper..d in 1123 no less than 242 tans of corn, and
if 41,1100 pints of brandy. Tt:us the problem, whether Sweden
can produce sufficient for its own consumption, is solved in the
most satisfactory manner by ten years expritnce.
The v. inter is now decidedly set in, and we hope it w:11 con-
tinue without interrup ion.
JAW. 7.—The new tariff, contrary to all expectation, has
augmented the duties on several imported articles; as leaf
tribacco, tooscovados, rice, 'and cotton yarn. The list of pro-
articles is so large, that it promises a rich harvest to
the smugglers. _

KONIGSBURG, JAX. 5.

On the 3d we had again a most violent :►torn► on the sea-
coast, with very high Hoed. The water was from four to five
feet deep in our streets, and the inkabitants of several houses
were obliged to bike refuge in the upper stories. The water is
still high, though the wind has abated ; boats still ply in tl e
streets.

EAST FCIESLAND, JAW, 4.

Our private account. from England hold out a prospect of
the abolition of the Corn Bill in die next Session of Parliament,
as being more favourable to the speculators than the cultivators:
the latter can be relieved only by the abolition of some taxer; and
with the present Corn Bill ~he people in England pay twice as
dear for bread as they would do if the importation of Corn were
free. As the export trade of England in Colonial produceand ma-
nufactures to North G ermany is very important, it seems to be fa-
in England that this country will not be able to purchase English
goods if they cannot export corn to England, which would be a
grtlit l"sa to the English trade. Hence it is bupposed that the
Corn Bill will be at least greatly modified.
