A Prochimation had been issued in Puerto Cd-
bello, requiring that every person in possession of
fi bur should deliver it up td the Government, and
at the same time prohibiting the bakers from baking
-any-other bread thin biscuit. These measures have

213- doubt been.adopted to pacify.the troops, who are
represented as having exhibited symptoms of discon-
te:A at the disappointment they experienced on their
arrival in the New World ; for, instead of finding
luxury and repose in a country which they had beau
taught to consider as a paradise, they found it ren-
dtr..,d miserable and wretched by the factions of party
and the desolating scourge of war.

adopted, and which, as far as we know, had been ac-

Indeed, we are informed several families have al-
ready arrived in Puerto Cabello and La Guayra from
the islands in which theY had taken refuge, and have
sifffcrul no Molestation either on the part of the Go-
vernment or of individuals. Many of the unfortu-

homes—we speak of women and children only. The
accounts they•give of their sufferings on this- deipe

E.arly in the month. General Murillo setoff by land
for Puerto C:aliello, accompanied by the regiment of
Victoria and a great part of that of Fernando VII.
Before he left Caracas, however, he was obliged to
_ have recourse tct a forced loan, to provide for the im-
*esliatts exigencies of the army. The 4equestcred
estates too, it is said, are to be sold for that purpose.
The lots of the treasure in the ship of war at Coclre

We have understood (and the report seems worthy
of credit) that General Bolivar had arrived in Ja-
maica from Cartuaikena, which gives some reason to
suppose that city is disposed to surrender without
bloodshed to the Spanish forces. It is said to be the
intentian of General Bolivar to proceed to England.
