FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, ISI2.

• We this moriiibg received Jaivaiea Papers to
the beginning of
_last month,, from which the fol-
"oiling are extracts :

.KINGSTON, OCT. 25 .—By the schooner, William
we learn that General MIRANDA sailed about 17
days, ago from Laguira for old Spain, in the
'schooner Fernando Septinto; formerly the Ge.zeral
Sanches of this.port. Signor Rocßom, the cele-
brated Revolutionist, accompanied bin.

POn FERNANDO MELHADO had arriverl at La-
guira from Porto-Rico, to take possession of the
Province of Caraccas ; but General MONTE
vEanu,.bad refused t 6 deliverit up, and said
that nothing but an order from Old Spain should
compel' him to do 'so, and that the country was
at present in, too unsettled. a state to cuter into
any ne eciation upon the subject. Don FEri.-•
NANDO AchLHADO then,. proceeded to Coro, and
dispatched his sori.in a vessel for Spain, to com-
l.:Junk-ate the business to the Regency.
GeneralMoNTEvEnt* bad giso issued a notice,
prohibiting the exportation of any more mules un-
til further orders.

. We are assured, from an authentic source, that
the accounts of battles • fought between the Car-
thagenians
.and Santa Marthians, Nrherein the
former are-represented to he victorious, are with-
-
dui foundation. The fact is, that the:ca,use•of the
Independents, since the overthrow OCMIRANDA, has
become depreised'and languishing in most parts
of South Anierica. In. order. therefore to cheer
• •
bis•partisans and gain fresh adherents, the press
at.Carthagena is resorted td, and erroneous' state-
lnerits propagated hoping by this means to gain
an. ascendancy, erect the revolutionary'standard,
and establish -a
.motley spe'ciel, of. GovernMent,

. It is with eVrerne regret tbat•sve mention the
report of the capture of another frigareity the'
Ankericans. The
,report ' WAS brought by his
Majesty's ship Zephyr, which spoke with -the
Wolverine in the. Channel, from whom ,she
learnt that the. Macedonian, frigate of '36 guns,
was captured by' the American frigate United
States, Commodore RODGERS. The following let.-
ter from Portsmouth, upon this subject, was re-
ce'red this morning :

PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 24.—His Majesty's sloop
Z2phyr spoke the Wolvirene in the Channel,. hay-
ing on board th e Purser of the Macedonian, with dis-
patches respecting her capture by the United States
American frigate off the Western Islands.- 'Re-
port states the action to have been of the most
sangi!inary description, and also gives the Ame-
rican 156 men more than the British.

No accounts of this capture had reached the

Admiralty this clay.

The 'following, list was transmitted with the
dispatches from Lord WELLINGTON, which were
