Barbadoes Papers have been received to the
25th of July. They contain an Official Letter
from the Spani,lt General Aloatt.zo to Lord
ComBERMRIZE, communicating an account of se-
veral Victories gained over the insurgents. The
accounts front St. Thomas's, of a litter date, and

which we subjoin, are, however, at variance with
the Spanish General's ;icconnt.

" The following is a translation of a communication from
General Patilo Nlorillo, Commander-in-Chief of the Spanish
Forces in Venezuela, to his Excellency the Governor :
" Persuaded of the interest which ,as a General in the ser-
vice of our faithful :111v.; vow. Excellency must tal-e in the
success of the arms of his Catholic Majesty, and the pacifica-
tion of this Continent, I hate the honour to acquaint you
with the victories obtained by the troops composisg the ex-
peditionary army under toy eominand.
" fine traitors Bolivar and Paez, in consequence of their
li:feint:occupied Guyana, were enabled to unite their forces
in San Fernando, and to penetrate Calaboza into the in-
terior of these provinces, elated with the it fithantages over
some small parties of our troops which they met in their way;
but they have since been successively !Jr.:atm is 7 brilliant
rencontres, which took place in Solids erii, Maiaeray, La
Puerto, Rencon de les Torres, Sin Carlos, aid Seliana:4 de
Coxedes, itt which they lost the greater part of their troops
and officers. . .

64 In consequence of these victories, there remain in owl-
hamk 3,600 ki:led and prisoners, 2.500 i 2 standard,,
tone, 200 loads of ammunition, 40 tumbrels, .3,000 horses,
1,000 molt s, and all the ellects which they hid conveyed from

“oaviia : the Staff of Bolivar, and a great tiornhcr of officers
(amon::st whom are some torcigilers, 14tely from Europe),
hart. tAllun into our hands. . .

" In the battle of La Puerto. I received a wound by a
lance, hut of which I am now perfectly rtcovered.
" I have much satifacti,n in sending; your Excellency these
;40-cc:dile accounts, and beg you may be pleased to cause
them to be published in coon Government, in order that the
people may know the true •tale of the war on the Continent.
and the unhappy fate of those enemies Who, by a civil war,
have entailed so many miseries on this desolate country.
"God preserve your Excellency ninny years.

" The annexed dispatch was received with the above:—
" The Bri4ailier Doti Ramon Correa took by surprise the
leader Baez on the 15th instant, at Point:it, in which action
550 to 400 of the enemy ate the dust,'and :in equal numher
of prisoners were tal,en and carried to San Carlos, as well
as twenty stud of horses; and thin the first Brigadier (Cor-
rea) WAS pursuing the remainder of the fugitives towards the
Apure.
" The Brigadier Don Thomas Morales took possession of
Calahozo Oil the 14th ; and after leaving a strong gagaison
there, proceeded to San Fernando.
" The news of the death of Bolivar, from the wounds flint
he received in the action he fought with Colonel Lopez, may
be relied upon.

" St. Thomas's, Aug. 20.
" Since my last letter, acquainting you of the cotiononi-
cations of Murillo to tine of the first authorities in Trinidad,
stating all his different !novena( ins and actions for the pre-
vious three months, and that he was pursuing the fugitive
Patriots towards Angostura, affairs have taken a different
turn. and the Royal Cause appears very low indeed. From
every information I can glean, Nlorillo's army has been so
worsted and dispersed, that they do not seem likely to rally
again very soon; though they still retain possession of the
Caraccas, and most of the places adjacent which have been
some time in their possession, and where the .y are said to
have .1,000 or 5.000 men. Ido not hear any thing farther of
Bolivar being superseded.
" Brion, the Patriot Admiral in this quarter, it now at
Angostura, or rather in the ()mimeo, its I believe his ships
cannot go su high up the river. tie has nut been superseded
as reported, but has been very successful in quelling a con-
spiracy in his own ship, which was nearly ripe fur action ;
and the purport of which was to carry the ship over to the
Royal party. He discovered this plot in time to crush it, ano
hang four or live of the ringleaders, who were officers. He
has also taken and hung a well-known character in this
qiiartet ; and who has been commanding a privateer under an
Independent commission lately; but, like many more, had
committed frequent acts of piracy; his name is Homo.. I ant
in hopes this act of justice will prevent like occurrences, as
the ptiaceahle state of the world at present leaves merchant
ships a prey to every piratical villain that infests the ocean.
" There is some probability that this i,l nd will become a
separate Government, :rod not a dependency of Santa Cruz,
which it has hitherto been ; and there seems great reason in
the principal people here wishing it, as it is a place of so
nitwit commercial importance ; in fact, a depot for the pro-
duce and manufactures of all Europe, and almost the whole
ivorld being a free port.
" Sir Gregor l\PGregor is expected every day in this coon-
try, with reinforcements for the Patriots : he was to sail trom
Bell;inut, we learn, and proceed direct for Angostura. About
the Bth or loth of last month, I 5,1 W at Grenada au officer jnst
arrived from England, belonging to M‘Gregor's regiment, and
who has formerly been in the Drag.ions in India."

It is probable that we Aidl share the fate of
some of our contemporaries, and be accused of
Stock-jobbing purposes, when we congratulate
the Public on the progressive improvement of the
Revenue, as if it were not possible to be inte-
rested in the welfare and prosperity of the Couu.
