By the arrival of the schooner Intrepid from

totally defeated on the 18th of August, in a place
,culled she Araguita, near 'Barcelona, and forced with
ids second in command, Ribas, and such of his fol-
lemurs as could effect their escape, to seek refuge
from the troops of Boves in the island of Margarita.
An Extraordinary Gazette announced this news w
the people of Caracas on the :30th altiMO; and die
consequence of this action basleen, that eingtni

what we have already published, of the battle that
ll
took place at the vrillage.of iiiagva, on the 18th of
'August. It is stated that the Royalists were greatly
I inferior in number to the Republicans. The troops
engaged on both sidet charged each other alternately
with equal fury. The action continued for five hours,
during which timethe firing of either party did not
cease fur a moment. At length victory declared in
favour of the Royalists, and they entered the square
of the town with the greatest impetuosity, killing and
beheading 1500 of the beaten enemy, among whom
were many officers. The fruits of this victory are
stated to be 1500 muskets, 10 ammunition chests
some musical instruments, a great quantity of (*a-
non and musket cartridges, and four 4-pounders.—
The loss sustained by the Royalists is said not to eF-
ceed SOO killed and wounded.
