orrlcE OF SECRETARY OF STATE AND DEPARTMENT OF

THE DrA n 'NE, JUNE 12, IS2B.

His Excellency the Liberator President, having
learnt that the Grand Convention has been in a state
of great agitation and disturbance ever since the
30th May last, and various metnbers,,to the number
of 26, have withdrawn from attendance,, because
they were oppressed by an opposite party, his
Excellency knows not what may he the result of
this occurrence, but seeing that fountain disturbed
from which health was expected to flow, he has
thought it necessary to communicate to the Council,
that they may take into consideration the situation
of the Republic, and consult on the means that
ought to be taken to preserve its unity, and to save
it from anarchy, when the Convention shall dissolve
itself.

On the 11th June the remainin,r members sus-
pended their Sessions, to save the country from
anarchy, and in accordance, as they pretended, with
the general voice, placed the whole power in the
hands of Bolivar.

GUATLMALA.—By the sehooperElizabeth, arrived
at Baltimore from Onloa, we learn that a Treaty of
Peace was concluded betwen St. Salvadore and
Guatemala, on the 4th June.

" Having promised your Excellency in my former
communications a detail of the events which have
taken place in this province of Missiones since the
troops of the Republic have entered it, I have now
the pleasure of fulfilling this proMise, and of announc-
ing to your Excellency that on the 21st ult. we ar-
rived on the banks of this majestic river, and observ-
ing upon the opposite side a strong detachment of
the enemy who defended the pass, I ordered Capt.
D. Felipe Cabellero to detach E 0 men, with their
sabres secured to their waists, and pistols tied on
their heads, to swim across the river, being covered
by Corporal Manuel Ciallego, who, with three
soldiers in a small canoe, bad passed the river ; we
opened a fire, and the republican arms were quickly
covered with glory. For the particulars of this
event I refer your Excellency to the despatch No. I.

the troop, and continued my march, sending for-
ward at night Captain D. Manuel Antonio Inglesias.

three divisions ; the first, commanded by Captain
Cabellero, took the road to San Francisco ; the se-

third, under my command, that of La Serra. The
operations of the first and second division are detail-

pelled 160 men who were in the Sierra to surrender,
taking from them two carts belonging to the Go-
vernment, with arms, ammunition, and some silver,
600 horses, cattle, eze. I then marched, with all
possible speed, to pursue the Colonel-Governor of
the province, who, I was informed, had retreated
by the Sierra de San Martin, with 300 men; but

LOCK HOSPITAL.

Ml' LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
PERMIT me to return you my sincere thanks
for the honour you have done me in appointing me
one of the Surgeons of your excellent Charity.
While, on the one hand, I have to acknowledge the mo-
deration of those of the Governors who had inadvertently,
perhaps, engaged their votes previously to my application,
I have, on the other, to express my obligation for the
zealous and unabated exertions of my numerous friends,
many of whom have put themselves to great personal in-
convenience in giving their suffrage, and of whose kindness
I must always retain a grateful recollection.
I have the honour to be,
My Lords and Gentlemen,
Your otoedient humble servant,
JAMES BRIGGS.
