DATED THE 1ST!! INST. :-
'" One of the most ferocious of the banditti,
who had been arrested in Annapolis, was last
night brought to this city, and delivered over
to the Magistracy. A mob of about 150,iinine-
diately assembled, threatening vengeance if he
were not bailed, and a party took their station at
the gaol, determined to rescue him. The Magis-
trates lilere intimidated,. and admitted him to•bail,

COUNTER itEvoi.rnoN IN VENEZUELA.
[From the New Fork Gazette of Aug. e 5.1
Shortly after the earthquake, the. Ecclesiastical
Body cried out, it was a visitation from Heaven,
in consequence ofdisavowing allegiance to Ferdi-,
iiand.Vll. and separating themselves from the old.
Spanish Government. The influence' this body
holds over the minds of the people is, well known
to every person. This infatuation' induced many-
to believe that it was actually as they represented;
-and they, with Manv persons of note', held corre-
spondence, not only With the Government of Porto
Rico, but also with the Royal troops at Coro,
commanded by General Monteverde. The conse-
quence was, that he, took advantage of the dis-
tresses and fears of the Patriots, at a time when
they were absorbed in grief for the loss of their
friends and property. The invaders were joined
by many characters of influence, inimical to -fiber-,
ty. At this cy;zis the wreck of the Patribt army
assembled, and .the command Was given to the
Marquis del Toro, who resigned. his commission.
The command was then given to General Miranda,
and the army reinforced with men and arms.
A bout this time Congress evacuated, and the Royal
.A.rinv took possession of. Valentia ;- after wEich
,the army retreated to i'dearcai, the capture Of which
soon took place, owing, as is supposed-, to the
treachery or inattent ion of Miranda, who retreated
to Victoria, though his army amounted to double
that of the enemy.
On the 6th of July, Porto Cavello was taken
by surpiise.- The loss of thii important sea-port
afforded a pretext to for surrendering,
who entered into a secret arinistice,,whicli led to
a private capitulation. The terms Of Miranda's
surrender were only known to one or two of his
particular friends. The. patriots ci (.:e.raccas were
dissatisfied with his conduct. Every patriot, to
the last moment, remained persuaded that 2•li-
rand& had taken care of their safety ; but on
learning the reverse, they fledto_Laguira, to,em-
bark on board the vessels detained by Miranda's
embargo, which was expected to be repealed ;
but on the9apitulation being concluded, it as
continued in the name of General Monteverde.
General Mir,:nda arrived at Laguiri on the 30th
of July, and ordered the embargo to be rai.sed,
intending' immediately to embark on board- an
English schooner for Curacoa; but the Com
mandant refused to do so, made him a prisoner,
•confined him in a dungeon, upbraiding him as -a,
traitor ; and in this exigence declared hilusett. for
Monteverde.

The reading world will no doubt, be gratified in
hearing that, the publication of the fuilowing
Works, promise much interest, may very
shortly be expected, viz. The Travels of rfof=s'

A Dispatch, of which the following is an ek-
,;, tract, ha; been this morning received at Earl, Ba-
t• thurst's Office, addressed to his Loniship by Ge-
' neral the Marquis of Wellington, K. B.

• , de Toro, near Bur,zos, Sept. 21.
continued to follow the enemy with the troops
under my command till the 16th, when I was
:joined .at Pampliega by•three divisiOns, of infan-,
try, and a small body of cavalry, of the army of
Gallicia : his Excellency. ithe Captain General
Castanos having arrived at head-quarters on the
1-Ifh. 'The enemy bad-on the 16th taken a Strong
on the heights behind Celada del Camino,
and.arrangements were made to attack them, on
the 'morning of the 17th, but the' enemy retired.
iti she iiight, and they were driven on tha 17th
to the heights close to Burgos. They retired
through the town in the .night, leaving behind
them some eloathing and. other stores, and a
large quantity of wheat and hurley; and they,
Lave since continued their retreat to. Briviesea,
:where, it is reported, they have been joined by
7000 conscripts. It is likewise reported, that the
Prince of ltsiing has been ordered by the local
. government of Praire to come and take the com-
mand of the army.
The castle of .Burgos commands the passages
of the river Arlanzou in the neighbourhood, and
the roads communicating 'with them, so com-
pletely, that We could not pass the river till the
-39th; when we effected that operation in two co-
-1 minus, stb division and Brigadier-General
Bradford's brigade aboee, and the Ist division
and Brigadier-General Pack's brigade, and Major-
' Gentrcil-An.son's cavalry below the, town.
tiirg,Os is situated in that division of Spin al-
lotted to the army of the Nbrth, and General Cal-
farelli, Who bad been here on the 17th, had placed
in the castle a gprrison of the troops .of that ,army,
consis'ting, as is reported, of two thoasand fire
hundred men. The enemy had taken considerable
pains to fortify the castle of Burgos, and, bad oe-
• cupied with a horawork the hill of St. Michael's,
Which has a considerable command over some of
the works of the castle, at the distance-of 300 yards.
They had likewise occupied other parts of that
Hill with fleches and other works for the protection
of their pickets and out-posts. •
As soon as the Ist division crossed the Arlatzon
On the 19th, the enemy's outposts were driven in
-by the light infantry battalicin of Colonel Sterling's
brigade, undel.: the command of the Honourable
iklajor cock-s, , supported •by Brigadier-General
Pack's,,brigade, and the enemy's outworks or: the
bill of St. Michael's, with the exception of the
liornwork.,, were occupied by our troops; which
were. posted' close to the bOrnwork .
As soon as it was dark, the same troopS, with
the addition of the 424 regiment, attacked and
carried by assault the hornsvork Which the enemy
had occupied in strength. In this operation Bri-
gadier-General Pack, Lieuteriant-Colonel Hill of
the Ist Portugues regiment, Colonel Campbell of
the 16th, Major Williams of the 4th Cacadores,
Major Dick of the 42d regiment, and the Honour-
able Major Cocks of the
.79th regiment, command-
ing the light_ infantry battalion, distinguished
themselves; the latter; in particular, led the-at-
tack of time enemy's posts iii the morning, and en-
tered the born Work by its gorge at night. We took
:three pieces of cannon and one captain, and sixty-
, two prisoners ; btakath sOir, to add that our
own loss was severe, as appears by the inclosed
return:

It was impossible to ascertain the exact state
:of the works, of the Castle. of Burgos, till we had
obtained possession of the bill of St. Michael's.
Since the 19th, we have been. cruplevod in esta-
tlishing ourselves on the hill of St. Michael'!, and
in constructing those works which are best ealcu-
4ted to forward our future operations.
Ile whole of the army have crossed the Arlan-
ton, with the exception of the Gth division, and
the-divisiori,o'f Spanish Infantry. . .
I accounts from Sir Rowland Bill of the
14tb ; he was then at Truxillo, and bad received
orders, and was to be at Oropesa on the 18th.
I have not heard that Marshal Soult has yet left
l'attada ; he was still there on the 4th. General
villas'eros had followed the enemy's movements
V'orn the Guadalete, and had been dry sticcessful;
'e Was at Loxa
.on the 6th. The enemy had
abandoned Andujar•and Jaen.•- •
last accounts I have from Alicant are of
the 10th inst. 'Joseph Buonaparte's army, and
that of Suchet, were still in Valencia.
• I have no late accounts from Cadiz.
