[Morning Chronicle]

By the Leeward island Packet, we have received letters
fr,rn Trinidad, dated 2d August, of which the subjoined is

all Extract :

Every thing at Angostura is going on most favourably, as
well as in the Llanos or Plains, and the Province of Cumamt.
Paez hilted the Spa,:ish General Correa, with his own hand,
in the late battle of Coxede. Paez is terrible in battle as a
cavalry officer, and the terror of the Spaniards. By a letter
of the 18th July, it appears he had beaten Calzmla in a fresh
action, and shut him up in a town not far from Varinas, from
whence he is not likely to escape. The Spaniards are roving
about with their cavalry, like the Pindaries, as a large extent
of country affords great facilities for detached parties ; hut
they arc beaten arid cut up every where by Paez and his
troops. Saraza has also very lately defeated another Spanish
corps. They are literally hunting for food.
The Spaniards pretend, that the expedition of 2000 men,
which sailed from Cadiz, the end of May, had called at the Ca-
nary Islands, on their way to join their countrymen in Vene-
zuela. Ido not believe it, but there are 3000 heroes in Mar-
garita ready to receive them, well armed, and with plenty of
ammunition and provisions.
It is this moment reported, that Brion's squadron and the
Independent flotilla are in the Gulph, for the purpose of
taking. Guiria, and all the coast as far as Cariaco, as a preli-
mivary to the attack on Cumana. This was positively an-
nounced as the intended plan, in a private letter of the isth
July, from Guayana, and the authority uu which the present
report rests appears respectable.

Front the information of well-informed persons on the
Continent, supposed to he intimately acquainted with the
nature of the business intended to be discussed in the ap-
proaching Congress of Allied Sovereigns at Aix-la-Chapelle,
it appears certain that the latter have already began to feel
the insurmountable obstacles of a mediation between Spain
and the Independent States of South America, under exist-
ing circumstances, which will deter them from entering on
the question in a formal manner; but if, through the urgent
and clamourous remonstrances of the Spanish Government,
the question is forced on their attention, it is expected their
ultimate determinations will be purely pacific, accompanied
by no threats, bat only urged in the way of advice and re-
cominendation,—(//dd.)

The Brazil packet yesterday brought letters to the 19th
July, butt hey are not later than the accounts which leached
us a few days ago by the Hyacinth. Nothing material had
for some time taken place in the capital of the Brazils, but
the views of the Portuguese, with regard to the Eastern hank
of the River }late, daily developed themselves. It was evi-
dent they were making a grand effort to ohl;tin possession of
the whole of the country extending as far as the Parana, un•
der pretext of following up Artigas, but with the real inten-
tion of retaining it, and rendering the stream of the
above river the \Western boundary of the kingdom of the
Brazils. They had already taken possession of the
Entre Rios territory, a valuable and fertile range of country
til note d between the rivers Parana and Uruguay, and pushed
on tinn Dragoons to Corrientes, an important town, standing
at the, confluence of the Paraguay and Parana. Artigas had lost
his and it was supposed would he unable to make
any further head against the inraders. The Portuguese were
doing eve; y thing in their power to conciliate the affections
of the inhabitants, as a basis for their future confront.—

.A perfectly good understanding existed between them
and the Buenos Ayres Government, of extreme impor-
tance to the latter, at the present moment, when their
attention is so much called to other distant object,—
The fact is, as we have often remarked, the Brazil Cabinet is
now influenced by no other than South American interests,
the wish of the King is to found an immense empire in the
West, and to this the whole of his efforts and energies tend.
Whatever may be the present peaceful state of Europe, it
will be acknowledged he has adopted a wise plan, for he has
room to extend and aggrandize his new dominions, unfettered
by the old connexions he has abandoned. This will convey a
pretty good ic!ea of what will he the result of the mediation
Spain solicits for the termination of her disputes with Por-
tugal, which certainly must be very powerful to change the
policy of a Cabinet founded on wise and substantial views,
and that has already been operated upon to an immense ex-
tent.

THE QUEEN.

" New, Fight o'Clork, Friday Night.

" Her Majesty was better last night than she has been on
any preceding night during the last fortnight. From ten
o'clock till four in the morning she slept without intermis-
sion, and she awoke in a state of great composure, and in a
considerable degree free from those painful sensations of the
chest, which have heretofore oppressed her so very much.
" These favourable symptoms have continued throughout
the whole of the day, and at half-past seven o'clock this
evening, there was every prospect of another comfortable
night.

4‘ The Princesses passed the greater part of the forenoon
in the gardens and shrubberies, accompanied by Gen. Taylor
and Sir Henry nation'. Their Royal Highnesses also re-
ceived visits from the Countess of Cardigan, the Countess of
Harcourt, and Lady Banks.
" The Prince Regent and the Duke of York arrived from
town, at half-past five o'clock, in the Prince's travelling car-
riage, the Prince having called for his Royal Brother at his
Louse in St. James's Palace. Their Royal Highnesses paid a
short visit to her Majesty, and the❑ sat down to dinner with
the Princesses. General Taylor, Colonel Stephenson, Sir
Francis Milman, and Sir Henry Halford had the honour of
eiininn at the Royal table.
" Sir Francis Mihuan left tke Palace, for London, about
1,,0n, but returned soon after five o'clock, and remains in
attendance with Sir H. Halford, and Mr. Braude, who ar-
Vved ;it the Palace at six o'clock.
" The Prince Regent's horses are ordered to be ready to
return to Carlton-Douse at half-past right."
