SOUTH AMERICA.-(BATTLE OF CARABOBO.)

[We have been favoured (says a Morning Pa'
per) with the copy of a paper of Angostura, en-
titled Correo • Extraordinario del Orinoco, dated
July 25, containing BQlivar's dispatch on the
victory of Carabobo. This dispatch is published
in the same. paper in three languages.--Spanish,
English, and French.]
MOST EXCELLENT SlR,—Yesterday the political birth of
the republic of Columbia was confirmed by a splendid victory-
_The • divisions of the liberating army having joined in the
plains. of Tinaquillo on the :23d, we marched yesterday mornirg
on the head-quarters of the enemy in Carabobo.
The first.thvision, composed of the brave British battalion,
the bravo of the Apure, and 1,500 cavalry, under the orders of
General Paez. The second, composed of the second brigade of
Guards, the battalions of Tirailleurs Boyaca and Vargas, and
the sacred squadron cominanded by the undaunted-Colonel Ara-
mendi, under the orders of General Scdeno. The third, com-
posed of the first brigade Of Guards, the battalions of Rifles,
Grenadiers, vanquisher of Boyaca, Anzoategui, and the intre-
pid Colonel Rondon's regiment of cavalry, under the orders of
Colonel Plaza.

Our march across the mountains, and through the defiles
which separated us from the enemy's camp, was rapid And Or-
derly. At eleven in the morning we defiled by cue left in front
of the enemy, and under his fire : we missal a rivulet, wi!ere
only one man could pass at once, in presence of an army plctl*
on an inaccessible level height, commanding us in every direc-
tion.

The gallant General Paez, at the head of the two battalions
of his division, and the brave Colonel. Munoz's re ;invent of _ca-
valry, attacked the' enemy's right With suet? fury, ti;at in half an
hour he was thrown into .contusion and completely routed. It
is impossible to do sufficient honour to the valour of our troops-
The British battalion, commanded he the meritorious Colonel
Farriar, distinguished itself amongst so many other brave men,
and sulfered alieavy loss of officers.
The conduct of General Paez in this last and most gloriol
victory of Columbia renders him deserving of the height of fltl
litary rank : and, I therefore, in the name of the Con
offered on the field of battle to appoint him General Chie'
of the army.
None of the second division partook in the Action,_ except part
of the Tirailleurs of the Guard commanded by the worthy com-
mandant Beres. But its- General, enraged that all his divisioft
could not front the obstacles of the ground join in the battle,
charged singly a mass of infantry, and fell in its centre in the
heroic manner that ought to close the gloriaus career of the
bravest of Columbia's brave. In General Sedeno the Iteptih"c
has lost a staunch supporter, both in peace and war; none nlore
valiant than he, none more obedient to his government. I re-
commend the ashes of the gallant hero to the Sovereip Cinr
gress, that the honours of a solemn triumph may be paid to his
memory.
Like grief does the Republic suffer in the fall of the daint-
less Colonel Plaza, who, filled with an unparalleled enthusiasm'
threw hiMself on a battalion of the enemy desiring it to Stlr;
rendei. Colonel Plaza is deserving of Columbia's tears,
.ains'a
that Congress confer on him the honours due to so distinguis'''_
heroism. i af-
The enemy being dispersed, the ardour of our chiefs alt. hi
ficers was so great in the pursuit, that we sustained considem
loss in that high class of the army. • The bulletin will conlm
ideate their illustrious names. the
The Spanish army exceeded 62000 men, composed of as
best best of the pacificatory expeditions. That army has eea-in
to exist : only 400 men will have this day taken ref4l
Puerto Cabello. •
The Liberating Army had an equal force to that of the e llee
my, but not more than a fifth. part of it decided the ibit*„m -
of the day. Our loss is not great—hardly 200 in kale'
wounded.- •

THE- KING'S-ROUTIL—It was settled that the
KING would leave town this day and proceed t°
Ramsgate, where his •MAJESTY will dine with
Sir WILLIAM CURTIS, and sleep to-night at the.
worthy I3arortet'i hospitable mansion. his MA"
JESTY is to-morrow to sail for Calais, and imme-
diately proceed to the Netherlands. The Pul'e
of WELLINGTON. IS to meet THE KING at Bills'
selsOn order to accompany his 111.AsEsvic to the
immortal field of Waterloo and to point out all the
victory, which, Owing to the
local circumstances attending that
Great Britain, effected the deliverance of rtr'
rope. His MAJESTY Will not pass through the
dominions of the King of the NETHEaLANP°

without paying a visit to the Sovereign °f
country: Our KING; •it is understo°'"

with suitable -magnificence. Sir WILLIAM Cull'

expected from the well-known loyalty and li.be

JESTY looked remarkably well.

We have received the French Papers of Thurs-
day and Friday, the contents of which are of
considerable importance, with reference to the
question of peace or war between Russia and
Turkey,
and in relation to the disturbed state of
affairs in Spain.—The extracts from these papers
will be found in our preceding columns.

If the " Conditions," said to have been de-
Thanded from the Porte by Russia since the de-
parture of Baron STROGONOFF from Constauti-
n°Ple, be correctly stated, it is quite evident
that the Porte has no alternative but war. Even
if the Divan should manifest a disposition favour-
able to this virtual surrender of the inde-
Peadence of the Ottoman Empire, the Turkish
people and soldiery would not suffer them to
carry the design into execution. With all their
Vices and ferocity, the Turks are possessed of
great animal courage ; and while they possess
that quality, with their consummate arrogance,
and profound ignorance of the real strength of
Russia, and of the real weakness of their own
resources and power, they will immolate the
Grand Se' nor and all his Officers of State rather
!Elan tamely surrender to a people whom they
th
both despise and hate, the absolute controul over
e future condition of the countries now subject
to their barbarous sway. In the present age,
Therefore, so 'fruitful of great and tremendous
"'r theents, the world will see Christendom purged
:aid Tile stain which nos rankles within it ;
7a whole nation of fierce and untameable
Perß driven far out of Europe, back into their
Iginal wilds, after having been suffered, for
mcenturies, to desolate its finest countries, and to
ast the intellectual and moral energies of the
ost interesting portion of its people.
_ A

, - great deal of private business is likely to
brought forward in the next Session of Par-
iarnent, as there are very few Election Cases con-
t
vnued over, and the Sessions is expected to be
a long one. •

ra'i ,1 Ile very men who exclaimed so loudly against

"ropensate them in some measure for the hard

_Sir ROBERT WILSON,
:cause he has in some way or other so far trans-
creiseri the duties of his station as, in the opinion
SniB Superiors, to deserve dismission from the
Isuberrice

ription for Sir ROBERT WILSON, or for any
other individual, upon whom any portion.of the
ile°Ple may choose to bestow their money. Let
every man
who thinks proper give his guinea to

s brought themselves or their families into an
embarrassing situation, we do not see that Any
co
r,!linct which has been imputed to them ought
oepriye them of the fruits of that compassion
"ich their present condition may excite. The
fault which we have to find is, that those
111° are now so desirous that the Public should
n°est,?-wkits bounty in this particular manner, take
1/Pub}tueroselves to arraign the conduct of the
ray us' when it thinks proper to exercise its libe-
„itY in channels not opened for it by them. We
t-Vght indeed complain, if we were fastidious, that
capricious gentry accmiipany their-money
riotth °
assertions, to the truth of which we can-
conscientiously assent. Not satisfied with
taeverelY relieving the pecuniary difficulties of their
tialittrites, an act in itself very laudable, espe-
Cp
it when viewed in connection with the cir-
otustances of their unoffending families, the
%i4loters of the . subscriptions and the sub-1
paiituers will no doubt contend that their libe-
off Y is a proof of the public _ virtue of the
oriteht.s of their bounty, of the inestimable valued
ty, e' r Public services, and of the baseness an
mcn,uY of those high Constitutional_ Authorities
ones 'lave overlooked the absolute wisdom of the
sios.3 and have dispensed with the future proces-
iit_nal services of the other! In the case of Sir Ito-
ler WILsoN, in particular, while it is acknow-
Dubl
uu tel ed that the
nature of his presumed offence is
sroY unknown, we might well question the
seatds on which his admirers venture to repre-
and his dismission as an act of malignant cruelty
the caPrieious oppression, and themselves as
alungite,nerous protectors of injured innocence and
the 'cent patrons of neglected worth ! Were
