Consequently MM. Gonpy ; Bellart; Breton,
notary ; and Pascplier, were proclaimed by the
President of the College Deputies for the depart-
ment of the Seine, conjointly with NI M. Lafitte,
Dclessert, and Roy, previously elected.
Shouts of " alive le Rol" were repeated a
thousand times by the immense crowd which
filled the great ball of the hotel de Ville and all
the lobbies.
The election being terminated, the Electoral
College will not sit again.
After the election M. Bellart remarked, that
there was reason to believe some difficulty might
otcur with respect to the age of M. Perrier, a dif-
ficulty on which the Chamber of Deputies had
alone the right to decide. It the case of his dis-
qualification, the number of suffrages indicate M.
Olivier as his successor.
The result of this important business proves,
that the Electors of the Department of the Seine
know how to appreciate the solicitude of the Go-
vernment, and the benefit of a wise liberty, found-
ed on the Charter, and guaranteed by the conser-
vative principle of legitimacy.
'[lie following D -polies have been. elected for
the Departments :
L' den.—Nt. de Stars.
:the Lower Arnaud, President of the College.—
This Department chooses only ,me Deputy.
Of.—M. Ca,martin. Two Deputies remain to be

m.tjority on the second scrutiny, but his election was
annulled in consetiaence of his disqualification with regard to

age.
!cadre and Loire.—M. Gonin Moisau, President of the Col-
lege. A second Deputy remains to be chosen to complete thq
election.
Loiret.—M. Cripon d'Anzoucer, Member attic late Cham-

[PROM A MORNING PAPER.)

. • POET' OF M'A(N ('PRINMAD), Avo.9. .
T 6 Patriot's have at length taken Gtia'yktin.
Angnstura fell on the 17th of last month, and on
the bth instant four Spanish gun-boats and two
flecheras, which escaped, brought us the news of
the tortresies, or Old Gitayana, being all take!).
.They are still lying in the harbour. The taking
of Guayana will open to us a great trade +yid' that
province, and all the interior in possession of the
Patriots, and an army of 10,000 trie.l veterans
ivill now carry the bothers of freedom through-
out ail Venezuela, and plant them on the ruins
of tyranny and the Inquisition. The Patriots
have obtained possession of all the Country taxed
by the gigantic stryint.of. the.Orinoko, and con-
taining immense resources.. The crops of bat inas,
tobacco, and of cocoa, 'have fallen into their
bands ;- besides countless Ileitis of cattle, horses,
&c: All the properly which the Capuchin Friars
have been squeezing ouX of the poor Indians of
Guayana for 1.50 years, has been forfeited for
their trearhety, and the Patriots now say, after
the experience they have had of the Friars, that
they will never allow any wearers of the cowl to
live among themAsoro4
Both places fer:: starved out by a continued
rigorous blockade, after I'iar had destroyed Cer-
rute's aro.). on the 17th April.. Brion's fleet cut
off latteily every chance of supply, and the Spa-
niards re ved to endeavour to force a passage
with their armed vessels and get off. The greater
past t, it.fot all the large vessels, are said to have
fallen hito the hands of Brion's squadron; none
have arrived here but the gun-boats and tlecheras,
as stated above, and this circumstance gives strong
grounds to believe so. A ship, with the Generals
and their Staff (and probably their plunder), was
closely pursued, it is said, by some of. Brion's ves-
sels, when these gun-boats lost sight of them, and
escaped -through the creeks. In a few days we
shall no doubt see the bulletin of the Patriots.—
The conquest of Guayana not only gives the Pa-
triots possession of a fine country and great re-
sources, bin places that army into complete and
quiet communication with the army ot Paez in
Barinas, and on the Lower Apure, where he has
made himself master of the important town of
San Farnando.,

While these important operation's have been
passing in Guayana, Morillo has invaded Mar-
garita with 2500 men., I have seen his summons,
dated, if my memory serve me tight, 23d July,
with the Governor Gomez's answer. Murillo oi-
lers every thing, to perform nothing, or extermi-
nation, ss the alternative. The Margaritaneans
bid Lint defiance, and warn him nut to send them
any more flags of truce. They have at least 2500
fighting men, and 500 more, perhaps, for less ac-
tive service. Leery Margaritanean is a. lion.
Add to this, Mit 4 or 500 of these are cavally,
that they•know every.inch of their,island, which
abounds in difficnlt passes and ambliscatles, that
they are all-riflemen from their childhood, that
they are united, and. Patriots to a man, and ,have
plenty of proviions, and what is more, accus-
tomed to bear the Spaniards during twelve mont Its
of daily combats against a superior enemy. %Mit
a glari"C result is then to be expected !—All
the Republican Armies are in direst communi-
cation.

Poit of Spain (Trinidad) Auz,. 10.
On the Gib instant, four gun boats and two fiecheras be-
longing to the Spanish flotilla at Guayana arrived here, with
advices that the fortresses in Old Guayana had been evacu-
ated, and that the Governor. Fitzgerraid, with General La-
tom and the gar, ison, bad endeavoured with their arn►ed
vessels to break through Brion's squadron, and escape to
Cumana, but that before these launches lost sight three were
taken, and the squadron in close pursuit of the rest.
Thus the Spaniards are totally driven out of the (hie pro-
vince of Guayana, and General Bolivar is at liberty to pur-
sue his conquest. in conjunction with General Paez, &c.
A great opening fur British manufactures in a short time.
Nothing from Margarita later than the 45th tilt.
St. Thomas, 16th Aug.

Hitherto the affairs of the Independents and Royalists have
presented a picture of afflicting hot roes, without any material
result. This is nut the case now; what is now passing on the
contiguous Main is likely to decade the future fate of that
country. With the Royalist troops which arrived from Spain,
it appears Morillo received °Hells to retake the island of M:tr-
garita, caule pi cattle; in consequence of which he collet it-
trated all his forces in order to make the attack on the island,
leaving on the continent only what was absoluiely necessary
for the essential defence of the posts. As soon as the inde-
pendents runlet stood that the Royalists had received rein-
forcements, the Government and part of the army evacuated,
and left the inhabitants to themselves, and Murillo landed
with a considerable force. The inhabitants defend them-
selves in a furious manner; they know they have nothing to
expeet• 'l' he Royalists, it is said, have taken Pampatar and
Fort St. Anne, but the test of the island is In the hands :if
the inhabitants, and they are determined to &tend it inch by
inch. They have concentrated their forces iii Assumption,
the most fottitied place. The Royalists have lost 6W.) own
since they landed up to the capture of Pauly:Aar, and 400 in
their attach tin the North. It the one attacks with courage,
the other defends himself with fury. Unfortunate will he
the weakest, for certainly they will all be butchered. .•
July 31, 1817.

By a piragua that arrived the day before yesterday, and a
boat which arrived yesterday with some Spanish emigrants
fr,m Old Guayana, accounts have heel) received that the Spa-
nish garrison had evacuated August ura, the capital of that
Province, and slipped down the Orinoko to the former place
in their merchant ships armed. with the intention, it 'lsis
supposed,• of embarking the garrison of Old Guayana also,
and endeavouring to escape. But Admiral Brion's squadron
happening to arrive in the mean time, they were all com-
pletely blocked up in Old Gtiayana, where they were Vedneed
to the utmost distress for want of provisions, subsisting on
every reptile, and raw hides, when these boats e captal.—
Under tliee circuinstances, it was supposed a very few days
would give General Bobcat complete possession of that im-
portant province, by the surrender of the only spot the Spa-
niards occupy in it, together with all their vessels; as the
Spaniards possess, it appears, no means whatever of relieving
it. They were literally starved out of Angustora, and the
addition of that garrison to the troops at Old Guayana, in their
starving st tte, is the ~,reatest misfortuite that could happen
to them. These boats bring also accounts of the surrender of
San Fernando de Apure to the army of the Independent Ge-'
twat Paez, thus rendering the communication trout the Uri-
noko to New Granada open to the Republicans by the Rivers
Apure, Meta, &c.—The present state is this :
Bolivar is in possession of all Guayana, except the town of
Old Guayana, or as it is stiled, the Fortresses, which are in
the situation described. Paez is in possession of all the pro-
vince of Baiinas, and all the interior, including Calabozo.
Nonato Perez is in possession of Casanare, the province of
New Granada joining Venezuela. Villafana in the plains of
San Carlos. Monagas and Zaraza occupy with their cavalry
the interior of Barcelona and Cu Dana, and part of the plains
of Caracas. Marino is in Cumanacoa. • Roxas commands at
Maturin, where he receives the cattle from the interior, and
ships them by the River Goarapiche. Hermosa commands at
Irapa, and Yaguaraparo. The Spaniards are con-
fined to the towns of Barcelona and Cumana, and live upon •
Gsh and whatever they can pick up, or salt provisions; fur
whenever they attempt to forage, the mounted Tartars of
Monagas and Zaraza destroy their parties. On the side of
Caracas they arc still in possession of all the country to the
northward of the plains, but that is held by the most ephe-
meral tenure, as soon its Bolivar has done with Guayana, and
reinforces Paex with a body of infantry.
In a word, the Spaniards are paralysed; for they are so, be.
set at many points, that it is dangerous to stay or go.
They contributed six tlecheras to the expedition against

" A passenger in the Barton, from Barbadoes,
(a person whose veracity I Can vouch for), ac-
quaints me that Angostura was in possession of
the Insurgents, as well as Ctimana and Barcelona,
and the Royalists had fallen back on La Guira.—
The :loyalists in Angustura retired from that
city without making any defence, and posted
themselves at St. Thomas's de Guiana, on the ri-
ver Oronoko, where they remained for some
time on the defensive : untimately they embarked
with their effects, in 11 craft,- to pass the mouth

had been received from all the
.po•ts in the'North

had been `lost in the colite•Asl)rtween the
hostile parties during the last 'winter; but the
N,irth West people, not distinguishing between
his Lordship and the Hudson's Bay Company,
~had det4ined considerable property in the interior
ielouging to the latter, to answer tot' theirs
hie!) his Lordship had taken possession of at
FOrt William. The Commissioners, however,
win have it in their power to settle these differ-
ences., and the proclamation issued by Sir GEO.
SHERBROoKE, it is to be hoped. will have the
effect of repressing any future violences. A great
concourse of Indians had taken place at the Red
River, and a Council was held, at which his Lord-
ship at first made an unsuccessful application for
a confirmation of his grant of 117,000 square
miles of land from the Hudson's Bay Com!Tany..
His demand was then _ reduced to two square
leagues round his establishment at Fort Douglas,
hut this was equally dented, and the Indians gave
notice that they would receive traders of all par-
ties, but would permit no agricultural settlement
to be made for the prese,nt in their hunting
grounds Other accounts•trom Quebec, which we
have seen, state, that by adVices from Montreal
of the 3d of August, Lord SELKIRK was on his
w.hl to the latter place, .as likewise Mr. SHAW, the
Governinent Commissioner, and others. His
Lordship appeared much surprized when first he
had put into hit hands the Government procla-
mation, in virtue of which most of the plundered
property was restored. Lord Samoux still asserts
his right -to the claims of the Hudson's Bay Com-
pany, and 11011 V 1111btanding all that has oecurred,
is steadily determined to prose-cute them. The
Montreal intelligence states, that there is some
doubt as to the character in which his Lordship
was returning, ro that place; whether as a pri-
soner or not. We have :reason to believe in the
