Extracts from the Briii4 Packet, of the 26th of May,
published, at BMWs Ayres:
REPUBLICAN ARMY.—BULLETIN N 0.,.

The 21st the rain continued. Two deserters from
the division of Colonel Beat° Gonzales presented them-
selves, who confis med the news before received, of the
latter having joined General Barret* and Colonel Bento
Manuel, and being encamped on one of the arms of the
Camacua Chico, having in Santa Tecla an advanced
guard of 150 men, under the command of Captain Ba-
tista, and another of 200 men, under the traitor Calde-1

ron, on the ridge to the right. Oa the 22d, at sunset,
the General•irn.Cbief, who designedly had permitted the
approach of the enemy since the 18th, for the purpose
of.discoveriog hint, prepared to make an attack on his
cavalry. In consequence, 300 men of the first corps,
under the command of General Lavalleja, and the divi.
sions of Lavalle, Zofriategui, and Pacheco, mounted on
horseback, this column, directed by the General-in.
Chief, marched with the utmost silence, each soldier

leading an cum horse. Commandant liana, who co-
vered the advanced posts, had orders not to make any
movement until day-light, at which time he was to
attack in front all the force he might *sett. The column
sallied through a break in the ridge, and penetrated all
the advanced posts of the enemy without being per-
ceived, leaving them in the rear. It marched all night,
and at day-break made a short halt to change horses.'
DAy broke covered with a dense fog. and the column
continued its march until eight o'clock in the morning:,
the General-in-Chief bad put himself at the head of the

-
vanguard.
BATTLE OF CAMACUA.

At a quarter past eight o'clock, A.M. a flanking party
to the left, which unskilfully ad►anced before the co-
lumns, surprised a small post of the enemy, and by so
doing ga►e an untimely alarm. It killed three men;
. the rest took to flight. The General in Chief being in•
formed of this e►ent, made the column ad►ance on a
trot, and unfortunately carnet° %%defile, by which only
two men could pass in a line. General Lavalleja, who
had been sent to disco►er the front, had scarcely sepa-
rated himself 300 yards, when he returned with the
intelligence that all the enemy's force was near them.
Colonel Oribe recei►ed orders to hasten the march ; the

defile offered a great obstacle; however General Man-
sills was enabled to widen it. The 300 men of the lit
corps passed, and being reinforced by the cuirassiers,
under Colonel Medina, they advanced rapidly on the
enemy. In the first encounter they seised 400 horses,
in excellent condition, and left 25 of the enemy slain.
The body of the enemy was behind a bill of stone, which
presented only two narrow passes. The Genera Li-
n prepared for the attack, placing General Man-
silla at the bead of Pacheco's division, and General
Paz at the head Zufriategues division. The engagement
commenced with a strong sustained fire. General La-
"antis received orders to force the pass to the right, and
General Mansilla that of the left, while the rest of the
column was occupied in passing the first defile. The
enemy, notwithstanding the advantages of his position,
bad only courage to make- a very weak resistance,
snd retreated on a trot. the .divisions which shrtioldo
have pursued them suffered a forced delay in the second
defile, and in this interval the enemy gained a distance
of a quarter of a league. Notwithstanding this, the
SOO men of the Ist corps joined to the cuirassiers as
soon as they passed the defile, and rushed upon the en•
emy, sustained by Mansilla's division. The enemy
attempted in make a stop, and commenced a sharp
fire. In these circumstances, the Central in Chief

galloped to put himself at the head of the division
$ the lit corps: the latter then charged vigorously
upon the et emy, pursuing him more than a league
NW a half. The enemy s force was dispersing fast,
bist fight they sere favoured by the goodness
ad lbwb nea, old the too:Omen of a broken lids

of hills, full of defiles. The horses being exhausted, it
became necessary so halts et this time Mansilheadirri•
sion arrived, and its General received orders to (thaw
kbe enemy, together with General Lavalleja, who pur-
sued them a league and is half. If the unfortunate sc-
'eident of the flanking party had not occurred, at the
first dirfile,.all the continental cavalry wr.erld have been
killed or captured, as it would have been completely
surprised, never imagining that our troops, in one night,
could have made a march of ten leagues, over rocky
hills and by an unknown way, artd penetrate between
their advanced posts without being perceived. Ne-
vertheless, the result of the battle of Camacua is
of great importance, as in it were dispersed the divi-
sions of the three Chiefs of most credit the Continent
possesses, and whose force consisted of one thousand
six hundred cavalry, including those which were in
their advanced posts. The enemy, at the end of the en.
gagement, did not carry off united more than a force of
400 men ; the rest had dispersed to the tight and left,
and the continental cavalry have much to be grateful
fbr in the good condition of their horses. Their loss in
men was 53 killed. Ours consists of Adjutant Susuicla
of the 3d, wounded; three privates of the same regi.
ment, five of the 9th, and two curassiers, also wounded.
At day-break the scouts of the enemy which were to
the front of Commandant Rana, being yet ignorant of
the march of the column destined attack Gen. Barreto,
presented themselves to him. The latter attacked and
completely dispersed them.
General Lavalleja has sustained on this occasion the
reputation he has acquired in the Republican army; as
also Colonels Oribe, Pacheco, Medina, •and Vega;
Lieutenant-Colonel Alvin, and the Adjutants of the
General.in-Chief, Colonel Lopes, Lieutenant-Colonel
Leagues, Major Elias, and Lieutenant Visillac: The
incursion continued tdl the 26th. All the extension
which has been reconnoitred was found deserted, and,
what is more to be regretted, no horses have been col-
lected but those taken from the enemy, as all of them
have been carried off when their owners retreated. The
weather has been unfavourable, as it has rained conti-
nually until the 26th, but the patience of the soldiers
of the Republic makes them worthy of her. The rest
of the army remained at Baye, under the orders of
Colonel Ovum On the 27th, the General.in-Chief
ordered General Paz to return to that town with Zu-
friategui's division, to put himself at the head of the
third corps of the army, which he so worthily com-
mands. Fit= the 26th until to-day, the 28th, the water
has fallen in torrents, without ceasing a single hour;
the lowest ravines are overflowed.

The following Ministerial arrangements have been
published, apprently on authority:
Yesterday several of the Cabinet Ministers, among
whom were Viscount GODERION.Lord LYNDHORST, Mr.
Hu/meson, and Mr. STURGIS BOURNI, waited upon his
MAJeSTY at Windsor.
Mr. HERRIE3 was also in attendance.

His MAMMY. after having given audience to Lord
GODERICH, and the Cabinet Ministers, communicated,
through Lord GODULICHp to Mr. Hißßlta, his desire
that he should accept the Office of Chancellor• of the
Exchequer, and Mr. HlllllOllB was, accordingly, intro•
duced to his MAJESTY, by Lord GODERICH, for that
purpose.

hlr.Husic lissom, of course, accepts the office of Secre-
tary of StAte for the Colonial Department, and with it,
the lead in the House of Commons.

Mr. C, GRANT WM. succ, ed Mr. Husclasow, as Pre-
sident of the Board of Tiede ; and thus all the principal
vacancies occasioned by the death of Mr. CANNING,
may be consideied as filled up.
Va►ious rumours.ere in circulation as to the persons
who will be appointed to the subotiiinate departments;

nothing, however, is yet finally arranged. There are,
too, other rumours afloat; bbt to -that it is net ne-
cessarY that we should now allude. It is sufficient
to observe, that neither the Marquis of LAIIISDoWN, nor
Mr. TIinNEY were summoned on this occasion, as hap
been reported. We understand, however', that the
Noble Marquis having received his MArginell com-
mands to wait upon him this morning, has proceeded
for this purpose to Windsor.

Several of the friends of the Noble Marquis assembles
at Lansdown House at a latehour last night.

We have received, through the North and South
American Coffee-house, Baltimore Papers to the Ist of
August ; but, from the lateness of the hour at which
they arrived, w•e can only make room for the following
Proclamation of President ---RnLIVAI
