ESTItACT OF A LETTER . FROM THE ISLAND OF

'TRINIDAD, TO .A GENTLEMAN IN THIS CITY,
DATED-THIS 14TH OF LAST MONTH,.

The affairs of Venezuela are every day assomino'l
a better aspect. By the official communication of
the patrotic General Paez, who commands in
Barinas, to Gen-. Bolivar, dated the 28th Of' Fe.-
bruary, we have seen that cu the 18th of the
same mouth, the Royal army, headed by ALAMO.,
1000 infantry and 800 cavalry strong, Was attack-
ed by the Republican forces, commanded by Gen.
Paez, composed of 1300 cavalry. -The cavalry of
the Royalists were completely routed, and the in-
tantry'.were obliged to form in a solid column, in
order to secure its retreat to the tiloqutains of
Apure ; from thenCe they continued their-retreat
to the banks of the river San Fernando de Apure
and Apnrito, i'vithout be fear of being pursued,
as the patriotic force in that part was akogether
cavalry. The Royal army lost in this engage-
ment 300 horses, three drtims, a quantity Olam-
nstmition, many muskets and carbines, and an im-
mense number of lances., many prisoners.' and
some of the•baggage of. the Staff. The prisoners
sny, that this was all the f.trees Morillti•took trOm
New Grenada. The, particular situation of time
patriot army. and the resources in its power,
seems to promise complete success to the Pa-
triotic cause. By the accompanying hniletios you
will see that our (Anse is progressing by strides in
the east part of Venezuela, and.that hating once
secured Guazana by our arms, the emancipa7
tion of the whole country will be the last result
of this painful omit glorious task.

COPIES OF SEVF,IIAL OFFIcIAL REPORTS OF THE
REPUBLICAN' GENERALS.
From General PIA 11, Commfinding in the Provioce of
Guayana, to tieneral BoLtvArt, Supreme Chief of tha
Republic.
The inhabitants of the department of Caroni,
who of now had taki.ti no part fn the war, have
hastened to otter themselves' from the •moment
they could escape the tyrant. The twenty-nine
towns, of which it consists, are necidetily for the
cause oi liberty. This country'- iir6ent i the most.
iilinring prospects, on account of its-abundance,
riches, anti innocence of the people. The towns.
are respectable and the. fields well cultivated
Our arms have gained throughout the most ex-
traiatlinary renown, and have procured the
most respect. 1 think to contintle• in this'province
till the whole of it be free. The eneiuy is re-.
.dirceei to the. last ,extremity, eirciimscribed to the
,two Guayanas, deprived' of every resource, anti
terrified. These are ndvtntages which are not
always to be met with, and which must not be
slighted When once obtained. •

FROM THE 3.1.13 E TO THE SAME.

We arrived yesterday, the 23d inst. ftt the Prep,
and we only met with an advanced post, crinsist-
ing ibf six men, who were recOtinoitring. for the
enemy: We took threisol them, who acytitinted
me with the -condition and strength of Gaayana,
and that the CoMmdnder, Totralba,:was posted
about a league from there ; l thereupon deter-
mined to 111E+1.6 to it with 400 men, and destroy

thy only enemy who could in any way molest us:
I took the necessary measures to take them by
surprise ; which although not entirely successful,
owing to the roughness of the road, and two ad-
vanced posts of ,the enemy,. yet he was, however,
completely routed, and in-such manner that only
seven then could return to the fortress of the
town. 'We took one hundred' prisoners. Up-
wards of 150 men threw themselves tnto a lake,
and I doubt whether 50. of thetn have been saved ;

, .
they had many killed and wounded, and. the re-
mainder so dispelled in the mountains, that I
think it impossible for them to return to their re-
spective regiments. We have taken- tram the
enemy 600 horses, ail their equipments, and stands
of arms; and ths- few cattle they had out. of the
fortresi. All of Which I have the honour tO corn-
mimicwe to your Excellency
Head-gnartevs, off Guayana, Feb. 24, 1817.

Ituront from General Crt>r:No, acting; owlet. the orders of
General PIAH. WI the Sonth of tbe•Province.aGuayana, to
Gencral 110t.ivAti. , .
I hope your Excellency- will do me the justice
to believe, that'there is. .nothing which I so much
desire as to see myself by the side of your Excel-
lency, contributing with all my forte, and co-
operating with all the means within my.reach, to
the, re-establishment_ of the Republic, with all
,tlint zeal and patriotism:with which 1 have always
employed 'Myself in the service of my country,
and npon which I establish all my glory. Pre-.-
vions to.this time I have informed' your Excel-
lency of the condition of the country in which
have ttinde war, and•ot the resources it contains
to prosecute it. My not receiving any comniuni.4'•
cation from your Excellency on this subject, and
the wants in which you are in or Some of, said re-
sources, as evinced by your.Excelleney'.3 official
letter.ot the I.oth of January, which Col. •Beler
put into my hands, induces me to apprehend that
the correspondence. has miscarried consg-
(pence whereof I am obliged to repeat, that in the
It.partment of Csycara there are at your
leuc.y's disposal, and fort he.s-ervice of the army,
.2000 tattle horses, trout 30 to 40,000 wild mares,
upwards of 1000 mules, and. many-other valuables,
which I have taken from the • enetny, and which
now belong to the Republic;
,out of which your
Excellency may older to be sent to•that, quarter,
whatever you may think necessary. The .pass by
Twearagno, or Rio Clara, appears to me the safest ;
and it is easier to send'. detachments from San
Diego de Cabrutica to conducrt hem, by giving an
order of Citizen Melian Bolivar, Commander of
that Department, to deliver them, and faCilitate
their exportation. I think this a powerful aid. in
the present circumstances.
May it please your Excellency to accept the
I hotttage of my high consideration. . •
