INI'ELLIGENCE.

rs British Consulate, Maracaibo, March 11.
" Sta—l acquain t you for the information of the Gentlemen at
Lloyd's, that it will be advisable for all vessels coming from England
to this port, to touch at Culacoa, or Utica. It appears, that pre-
vious to the attack of General Morales upon this port, he had
attacked several small vessels under British colours, fur the purpose
f decoying the pilots, and succeeded in carrying them off, by
which means he was better enabled to conduct his attack upon
Maracaibo—those pilots still remain in the service of Spain, and
the Governmeot of Colombia, fearing a similar attempt, have given
orders that no pilot is to board any vessel beyond the bar, until it is
clearly ascertained to what nation she belongs ; this over-prudent
measure sometimes exposes vessels to some risk, and as the orders
have been issued by the Government of Bogota, it is not within
the, power of the Departmental one to do away with them.—
The time necessary to communicate on the suhjact being consider-
able, it may be as well that my original suggestion should be strictly
adhered to. I am, tatc.

of St. Don,iogo, was boarded by one of the Ilaythen brigs of war,
and sent into Jacquentel ; after remaining there about twenty days
was ordered to l'ort-au-Prince, as here she was tried and con-
demned. The supercargo applied to the house of Brothers, Mun-
don, and Ca. of that place, who applied to President Boyer for the
release of the vessel and cargo. The President, considering the
condemnation illegal, ordered them to be restored, with about 600
dollars' damages, which offer was refused by the supercargo, not
being sufficient to defray the expenses sustained by the capture.
The supercargo, master, and two of the crew, went from thence to ,
Jamaica in an ones boat. It was expected that a British frigate
would be sent from J.nnaica to demand the surrender of the vessel,
and payment for the damage sustained by the illegal capture.
