" ST. TuONtas's, JULY 12.—Last evening a vessel arrived
here from Augustura, plovince of Guayana, which, on Tear-
ing the port, beheld the fortress of this place in flames, and
conjectured that the city had surrendered. They further
added, that the Independent Chief Pna has had another en-
counter with General Moati,Lo, near the city of Calabozo, iu
which he, was again triumphant; which, it is said, made
General Mortuto determine to retire on Caracas., but which
he relinquished on learning the arrival of the reinforcpMent
from Spain, consisting of 1800 men. They further state,
that his Britannic Majesty's ship Rifleman, of IS guns, Capt.
FELtx, arrived here on Saturday last from Jamaica, and con-
veyed hither 40 privates of the 7th West India Regiment,
natives of this colony, who enlisted in that corps when it was
stationed here. Brigadier-Major NOEL, under whose orders
these men were, has informed us, that on his discharging
them, each individual received one month's pay, and that he
bad also orders to furnish them with rations for the same pc-
rind, should circumstances have rendered it necessary. They
also state, that it was reported that Bouvaa had gained a
complete victory over the Royalists, on the ()mitotic., but the
particulars they had not heard at St. Thomas's, nor either
from him since he sailed fur the above neutral lace, but eX-
pected dispatches daily. All provisions were very dear at St.
Thomas's, and the Island not very healthy."
