Terra Firma - dated April 13, 18151 headjuarttrs
Pampita, in "the island of St. Margarelta.
Te General states, that the tag of his MOW
the King of' Spain flies on the Wand, which was
occupied on the Ioth of April, without any effusion
of blood. The General hiving received on the 4th,
'at Mortd-Santo, where he stopped to collect intelli-
gence, dispatches from Lieutenant-Colonel Morales,
announcing the taking of Maturin and Guina, and
the intended attack of Margaretta, the kst refuge of ,
the rebels, where they thought to defend themselves,
Morales had colleci-d his army of 700 men at Caw,

one blow the centre f f the int.urrectinn. The expedi.

place to had the troops.
On the 9th a flag of ti ure was heisted in tl:e forts,
and a boat came off with letter from the Govern-

ment, desiring to know the intentions of the Spauish
expedition, which scented to be preparing for .hosti-
lities, whereas they had imagined that the General'
had come tomstablish prate, and had expected a
communication to that effecta• This not having been
made, they oaer to begin a negociation, hoping that
his Excellency will give the securities requited by the
law of nations, for the making of a convention suit..l
able to his ExecMut y's benevolent intentions- and tbel
safety of the Island. His Excellency replied, that
nobody having c, me off fiona the Island to receive
him with that joy and submission, of which he had
seen repeated examples, I.e feared that he should
meet none but rods against F del _a; ind VI I. anJ

seeing from their letter that only their tears lad pre.
vented them, to accept their submission, on condition
of their hoisting the Itoyai standard on all the forts,:'
that the erased men , slia:l deposit their arms at a
certain place, and the I. incipal persons, - civil cad

which was saluted by all the forts, and then by thLi
squadron. Sonn after two person* came froni the
Island with letters, which slimed that .anarchy pre-
veiled there, and the General ordered 3000 troops to
be landed, to march to Assumption, the capital.—
The troops preservA the most exact discipline,
though some disorders happened, because the inhebi.'
tants had fled to the mountains; however, the ntild•
intentions of his Majesty are fulfilled, and a procla-
mation published to invite the people to return to
their homes, which they did, and not a single person
has been killed by the troops. When they reached
Assumption on the 11th, the people with great joy
took the oath of allegiance to Ferdinand; the fugi-
tives who should not return to their homes in IS days
were declared traitors.
There were found a thousand horses, eighty-two
cannon of various sizes, and the number of troops
was in all 2380, so that it could have been practicable
to make a detente, considering the small extent of
the country, and that it is extremely rough, Man.
tannins, and mostly uncultivated.
The country is disarmed, and the artillery em-
barked on board the squadron, and the civil Govern-
ment entrusted to those who have declared for the
King's Government, &c.
His Excellency states, that •he has sent notice of
his approach to Mexico, and fulfilled other parts of
his instructions, and that he shall shortly proceed to
Cumana, Barcelona, Guiara, and Caraccits, and then
take possession of Venezuela, establishing the best
order every where, to fulfil entirely the benevolent
-intentions of his Majesty.
The-arrival -of the expedition greatly astonished.

they would have seised all the wealth the insurgents
had in the Island, as well as many of their Chiefs,
who fled to a place of safety when they thus learnt
the approach of the expedition. This knowledge,
however, hindered then! from putting to death the
seventy workmen and the crew on board that vessel,
as some of them advised.

The transports which have arrived from Portugal,
amounting to 60 sail, were those which were sent out
with the view to bring back a Portuguese army to act
under the Duke of WELUNGTom, and which the Re-
gency at Lisbon refused to send abroad for such a
purpose..
