tracts:—
[From the New York Gazette 4f4art.l.]

;DEFEAT, Ikto ItAffE9.—Captajlt MASON, o
the schooner Cheruts arrived at Baltimore from
Curagroa—,sailed ou tke 4th instant : informs that
the day provious to his sailing a schooner arrived,
in two days, from Cero, by which letters

were received from Governor Tivelles, giv-
g information of t_wo_battles having been
fought on the 22d and 24th of November
ultimo, near Salina River, between General
Montilla and General Morales, in boils of which
the Colombian forces proved victorious ; the
itciyal troops in consequence were obliged to
evacuate Maracaibo on the 26th, and that place
was taken possession of on the same day by
:‘lfintilla. The Spaniards, it is stated, suffer- ,
ed severely in the last action, having lost the
entire battalion of Vareanas, and many officers.
Morales, with the remnant of his army, lauded
'at Alta Gritcia, and reached Mitori on the 29th.
Fitom IlAvANNAtt.—By an arrival at Charles-

tot► iu fivo:days from Havannall,, bringing dates
of the 17th ult., information is received that the
city of navannal► was in a perfect state of revo•
'talon, the native Creoles having declared them-
selves enemies to the Europeans, and it was ex-
pected the matter would soon come to a serious

FROM VERA CRUZ.—By the Schooner Fly,
arrived on Monday evening from Vera Cruz, we
received the Diario of the 30th November, in
which we find an Address from a Council of Go-
vernment, calling themselves the Junta Nacional
I nstituyente, to the Mexican Nation. We infer
from its contents that the refractory Congress has
been dissolvedby an Imperial Decree, and that after
their dissolution,thisCouncil,composed of the mem-
bFrs of Congress, favourable to the interest of liur-
bide, had been convoked, and were exercising
the Legislative Power under his direction. in
this Address they speak of their efforts to intro-
duce a system into the Government in the dif-
ferent Departments of Finance, Justice, and War,
mut of their labours in forming the project of a
Constitution, which is to be submitted to the
Representatives of the Nation, who are shortly
to be called together. The Address is dated at
Mexico, Nov. 13, 1822.

A later from Mr. Toplift, dated Lima, Sept.
8) mentions that Gen. San Martin had returned
to that place from Guayaquil in the brig Mace-
donian: to the surprise of the inhabitants, who
hul expected never to see him again;—he was
skluted by the British and French frigates) but
