Yesterday %. a, a ~ap.t propitious day
news of the capture of Guiria. we have ,
advices, 'try interesting,. from Apure.
removed hi, head-quarters from Valencia,
lished them in San Carlos,. with A view, it is said, to
elheck the progress of the Patriots of Coro, who, after
revolting and declaring their independence, have
marched on Carora and occupied it. This no doubt
is the cause why the Spaniards,have been concentra-
ting. their forces during the last month.
The insurrection ot Coro, which, it is said, has
been followed by that of Maracaibo. with great rea-
son has alarmed them; for if Coro and Maracaibo
became free, the proVinces of Merida and Truxillo,
and the whole of the west part of that of Caraccas,
will inevitably he so too, without the Spaniards be-
ing Ale to prevent it.
This event has reduced them to the last extremity.
Shut up in the small circle they occupy, and with-
out tbyosable forces to attend to so manr points
from Which they are threatened, they are really dri-
ven into a desperate situation.
A divislon of General Pacz, under the orders of
Commandant Pena, has destroyed a strong patty of
the enemy in the town of Baul, at a short distance
from- San Carlos. The Commander of the enemy's
party was made prisoner, with the greatest part of
his troops, and the rest fell in the action.
LUILETIN OF THE IRMY OF VENEZUELA,
DATED A thafar 21.
By the t rival of official correspondence from the
the army Z. 7: ir.4 in rile provinces of Ca-
raccas tad Barcelona, we have to lay before the ar-
my details respecting stme important movements of
our ad vanced`posts and detachments.
Under date of 11th July ultimo General Sarazp
informs,,that Commandant Jose Ximines, who is at
the head of the Guerillas stationed in Guayabal, de-
stroyed a party' t i the enemy commanded by La
Munoz, whom he pursued as far as Cambado, iu the
neighbourhood of Santa Rita, doing him considerable
injury. Undei date of the 13th, Brigadier-General Mo-
rales advises, that he had taken post at Sombrero,
and expresses his intention or remaining there during
the winter. On the 18th he communicates that near
Beatriz,. being on the road from Chaguarramas to
Orituco, Commandant Leonardo, of the infantry,
completely destroyed the flying camp of Captain Ra-
fad Oramas, and two other detachments:
Under date of 25th July, General Paez, after ad-
vising the effective sta:e of the army under his corn•
mand, ii.forms, that the whole of the province of Va-
rinas and the whole of the lower plains of Caraccas
ate in possession of his Guerillas, which tiiumpli over
the eae ny wherever they meet him. A select body
of Geaeral PdeZ'S cavalry, composed of 200 men,
had just penetrated as far as Tot unos, where it de-
stroyed a party of forty Royalists, and proceeded on
to the capital of Varinas, which it occupied without
obstacle, when Calzada (a Royalist), with a division
of 1300 men, retired to Guanare. -
From Varinas the above division of General Pact
countermarched to this side of the Apure, by Pa,
quay, where it had a rencontre with the famous Cap-
tain Guerrido and other Guerrilla leaders. Guerrido
and the whole of his companions fell into our power,
and certainly he was the bravest Guerrilla leader the
Spaniards had....
In Pedraza, the Guerilla or detachment which was
there erperienced the same fate, and its Commander,
Nicolas Ruedas, was also taken, In short, this brave
body of cavalry has returned to its camp loaded with
immense booty, bringing in a multitude of horses
and ptisoners, and having quite cleated the Province.
Under date of the Ist instant, General Saraza ad-
vises, that the Guerrilla which he had sent on towards
Orituco had a rencontre with an enemy's party, and
destroyed it ; and on the 3th he informs that Briga-
dier. General Morales had proceeded from Sombrero
towards the West. •
On the 13th instant, General Monagas informs that
the flying camps he had posted near Aragua and
Chaparo had done considerable injury to the enemy,
and prevented them from obtaining a single head of
cattle. Many of the enemy's troops also desert over
to them. . (Signed) C. SOVBLETTE.

SIMON BOLIVAR, SUPREME CHIEF- OF THE REPUBLIC
OF VENEZUELA, CAPTAIN-GENERAL OF THE ARMIES,
AND THOSE OF NEW GRANADA, ETC. TO HIS EXCEL-
LENCY THE GOVERNOR OF THE ISLAND OW BARBA-
DOES, ETC. ETC.

- ,
Head-quart ers, Angostura, Sept. 1, 1818.
I have the honour to address myself to your Ex-
cellency, for the purpose of informing you of the true
military state of Venezuela, which certainly is not
such as General Nlorillo has communicated to your
Excellency from his head-quarters of Guaraparo,
un-
der date of Bth May ultimq. It is painful to me, in
presence of your Excellency and of the whole world,
to have to contradict a General, who, for the sake
of his owu reputation, and the respect due to the Bri-
tish Chiefs whom he addresses, ought nct to have vio-
lated the truth in so scandalous a manner.—That
General informs your Excellency that he has trium-
phed over the arms of Venezuela, in Sombrero, Ma-
racay, La Puerto, Itincon de los-Toros, San Carlos,
and Savana de Col,,ede; and that in consequence of
these victories we had lost 3500 in killed, wounded,
and prisoners, 3500 muskets, 200 loads of ammuni-
tion, 2000 horses, 1000 mules, my Staff, &c.
When General Murillo was wounded in the city
of Calabozo, he stated, in his official dispatch, that
our army was composed of 2000 cavalry and 1500
infantry, and we are compelled to confess this is the
first time he has conformed to the truth. Conse-
qaently, it is not certain we could have lost 3500
min,' nor 2500 muskets, for, in the first case, we,
should have lost the whole of our army, and in the
second, we should have lost 1000 muskets more than
we rally had. Unfortunately, up to the present
moment, we have been in want of arms and ammu-
nition, and for this reason it. is not certain that we
lost the 2500 muskets, 200 loads.of ammunition, four
places of cannon, and mach less the horses and mules
mentioned by GeneraUgOtillo. ,
On the other hand, I can assure your Excellency,
without the smallest exaggeration, that the Spanish
army in Venezuela was :eaten is Calabozo, Som-
brero, San Fernando, La Poerta. Ortiz, and Cogede.
la consequence of these defeats, that army has been

.of
,vhu.. he boasts, . re-occupied . im-
mense country he has lost in the list campaign, fri,ao
one extreme to the other of Venezuela; and he woia3
not be reduced to a miserlble state of delensive war-
fare, and to the defence of the passes leading to the
capital of Caracas. If General IVlorillo still exists in
Venezuela, he owes this his precarious fortune to a
want, on our part, of military elements ; but now
we possess them, very soon he will no longer be
able to date his lying dispatches from Venezuela.
Your Excellency will excuse the liberty I take in
troubling you with these details, of which I consi-
dered it my duty to inforro your Excellency, that you
may be led into error by the false reports of our ene-
mies.—l have the honour to be, &c.

ST. TLIOMAS'S, SEPTEMBER le-

zostv.tn.

Admiral Brion with his fleet, and Bermudez with
his army, have lately taken La Guiria, and with con-
centrated forces are about to march along the coast
to attack Cumana.

Bermudez is at Cariaco, between Corupano and
Cumana, about five Spanish leagues distant from the
Tatter place, which he will attack as soon as Brion, is
ready to co-operate from the sea side. At the same
time Morillo is attacked on all sides in the interim,
so that at a time when the Royalists thought to rest
and prepare for the next campaign, they are, not-
withstanding the valleys are under water, attacked in
their very fortresses. This vigorous and bold con•
duct on the side of the Patriots, is said to be-solely
owing to their Chiefs having come to a good under-
! standing with one another, and seen at last the neces-
sity of a perfect union; to which may be added the
considerable supplies in arms and ammunition which
they have lately received from England.
An Orlleer in the Patriot Army writes from An-
gostura on the 10th of last month—,, That Marino,
,who hitherto had acted independent of Bolivar and
others, had acknowledged Bolivar as Chief of the
Republic, as all the other Patriot Generals had done
before, and:that he had joined heartily in the general'
plan of attack with his 1500 well disciplined troops.l
Paez is at Fernandez de Apura with 2000 men,
amongst them :iOO English cavalry. Perez is now
in the plains cf Varinas with 2000 men. Sarassa,
with about 2000 men chiefly cavalry, in the plains
of Caraccas, who are every where harassing the Spa-
niards, notwithstanding the inundations. Prisoners
are brought in here daily, and if the present plan be
followed up, the Royal army will soon be destroyed.
Bermudez is to act with Brion on the sea coast, and
Bolivar is collecting here and in the plains called
Las Missioncs, an army of about 3000 men, which ;s
organizing under General Anzuati."

THE EVENLNG STAR

lth the whole of his family, and has
ision from the Austrian Government
ire in fransylvanios The following
cause of his sudden flight from the
territory had received intelligence

from an agent devoted to his interests at Constanti-
nople, that his son-in-law, who fills there the part of
Dragoman to the Porte, was constantly intriguing
against him. He became alarmed fachls liberty, and
very soon even for his existence. On the arrival of
more reeent news, he instantly assembled the Divatiat
Bucharest, delivered up the reins of government to one
of the chief Boyars, and immediately afterwards
took his departure with the utmost secrecy. Scarcely
had he left the place when the firman of the GRAND
SEIGNIOR, ordering his immediate arrest and execu-
tion, arrived. The Hospidar, however, was already
far on his way to the Austri.tn frontiers, and before
the fall of night was beyond the reach of pursuit.
He is accompanied by the greater part of his friends
and dependents, and is said to have brought ithrncnse
riches along with him.
M. STURNER, the Austrian Ambassador to the Ot-
toman Court, bas left Constantinople, and been suc-
ceeded by Count de LUTZOW.
The Diets of Bohemia and Moravia, which were
bath convoked for the 10th of October, have already
met, finished their business, and dispersed. This sin-
gular celerity in their proceedings will not appear
surprising, since, it is added, that the whple of their
business consisted in providing funds to supply the
demands of Government, " as is the custom with
these Diets."

The recovery of the Trench Funds is now most
unequivocal. From 69f. 80c. at which the Five per
Cents. closed on Wednesday, they reached on Thurs-
day as high as 70f. 75c.. and left off on Friday at
701. 10c.

We gave yesterday an extract of a letter received
from an Officer on board the Mosouiro, stating that
" several letters had been discovered at St. Helena,
directed to Doctor O'M— for NAPOLEON, some of
•which contained several sums of money for the pur-
pose of effecting his escape." We are authorised by
Dr. O.M to state that the assertion is utterly false.

We have given in a preceding part, some impor-
tant documents respecting the state of the Patriot
cause in Venezuela, which have been received by the
brig Bowes, arrived at Liverpool from Trinidad.
The article most deserving the attention of our
Readers, is a dispatch from General BOLIVAR to the
Governor of Barbadoes, dated theist of September,
written in contradiction of a previous dispatch,
which, it may be tememberd, was addressed to the

same Governor by the Royalist General, Mottll.l.o.
—The Republican General affirms, that the dispatch
of MORILLO was full of lies, and that instead of ob-
taining the victories of which be boasted, he has
been reduced to a miserable state of defensive war-

fare, and to the protection of the passes leading to
the Capital of Caraccas. "If General Moititto,'
says BOLIVAR," still esists in Venezuela, he owes
this his precarious famine to a want on the part of
the Patriots of military elements," but now that they
have been amply provided in this respect, the most
confident hope is entertained that Moiiii.r.o will not
be much longer able to date his lying disp-itches
from Venezuela.

Yesterday upwards of 3.00 sail of Colliers arrived
in the River, from Shields, which, with the present
mild season, will tend to reduce the price of Coals,
there not having been any arrivals for some time past.

A letter written by an Ofileer of his Nlajesty's ship
MAGICIENNE, on the Fast India station, states, that
a large vessel under Dutch colours, and simulated
papers, had been seized by her. The letter, which is
dated off Port St. Louis, July 14th. 1818, says—

" We have seized a large ship of 750 tons, called the Shaw-
field, under Dutch colours, built of teak, at Batavia. I boarded
her, took possession, and anchored her close to the ship. She
was built for a 40-gun frigate : all her ports are complete, with
ring-bolts for the breeching', and side tackle. She is charged
with a breach of the Navigation Act, in taking in a cargo, which
none but a ship with English papers and colours is allowed to do.
Her Commander, supercargo, and mates, are all Englishmen,
and this is her first trip. She cost 1".:4,000 building, and her
cargo now on board is words between £60,000 and X 70,000,
out of which we expect £30,000, and my share will be about
.£7OO. It is thr general opinion that she will be cbndemned."
GENERAL GOURGAUD.—An order having been
issued on Saturday, that he should quit the kingdom,
Mr. B. CAPPER, of the Alien-office, was directed to
put the warrant into execution. The gentleman was
attended by another officer only, until it was found
necessary to call in assistance. On entering the
General's bed-room he stated the object of his visit,
when the former, getting out of his bed, attempted
to seize a brace of pistols, which were on the chim-
ney-piece dose tp the bed. The attempt was, how-
ever, frustrated, and the General was, after a vio-
lent resistance, which did not take place until he
had dressed himself, conducted down stairs to the
front parlour. Here he actually broke himself some
panes of glass, and endeavoured, by his elks :Ind
entreaties, to prevail upon the crc wd collected in
the street to rescue him from the officers. Ile was
first conveyed to the house of Mr. CAPPER, where
he remained some time, in order, if he chose, to
.send for his clothes from the lodgings-which heitad
occupied. But this he declined. Ile was then
pot into a post-chaise, and sent off to Harwich.—
On his arrival at Romford, being market clay, and the
inn-yard full, the horses were changed in the open
street, where there were many persons assembled.—
He then called out—" Thievesui der—l urn
tic-
neral GoURGAUD—they are going to murder me." A
few miles further on he wished to be taken beim e a
Magistrate. On his arrival at Harwich, I.c was put
on board the packet, which is said to have .ailed on
Sunday night for Cuthaven.
