PORT hi SPAIN, APRIL 29.

I send you the latest paters and letters I have received fie=
the Orinoco. A Capt—n, who arrived yesterday, said, drat tr.:
armies on the Apure were in sight, and that a battle would ice'•
vitably take place. Experience has taught me to receive flyirg
reports with great distrust ; I therefore refer you to the letters
in question to guide your judgment.

The Width at Margatita, augmented by nati•:e troops to
2500 or 30G0 men, were to effect a landing near the city
Caraccas, under protection of the squadron, which is far seer
rior to the Royalist.

Cutuana was besieged by that gallant Officer, Geneml
E•.r-
mndvz ; and, when the Fly sloop of war left it ktely, %rat is
great distress for provisions. The Storekeeper has Ucserit: .0
Bermudez, with ..11 tke details.

General Urdanita commands the expedition from Margzti;:.
and the brave General Gomez, who commanded the Chrtv tf
:Wargar:ta against )lozillo, is also under orders, it is szid, to
compi.ny him.

The Congress Is getting on well, and a Representative Cc,
vernment acts lilt magic en the people. The simple Installatica
of this Body has produced a perfect union and subordination 13
all the Chiefs—so respectable is a free Constitution! Thu D:g•
lish are quite at home with it ; and General Bolivar, at leisure
to pursue the war, while the Vice-!'resident, Mr. Zee, with the
Secntaries of State, conduct the routine of Government. Sea
will see the ample powers vested in tl•e President by the Con-
gress, :Led Genital Bolivar deserves them all.

The Council of War Intl. determined not to pro.

once to the Caraccas. They only wait. d the arrival
which had. on board the materiel of English's

t this Island, they must be near about starting.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday, which arrived this
)rning, furnish us with some interesting extracts:

PARIS, JUNE e.
The KING had this morning a long conference with
:ardinal PERIGORD. After Mass, his MAJESTY trans-
:d business with the Marquis DESSOLLES.
We learn from different quarters, that the state of
opinion begins to be sensibly in-. roved, since
extreme parties find themselves equally restrained.
ie little success which attended the Petitions for
recal of the banished has disconcerted the Ultra-
..,berals, and the firmness of the Government in the
tintenance of liberal institutions, has destroyed in
Ultra-Royalists all hope of a change of system.
France possesses at present 246 ships of war,
tong which there are 48 vessels of the line and 29
igates. Eleven vessels of the line and four frigates
on the stocks.

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—Smoom or Tursokr.
•fhe MINISTER of FOREIGN AFFAIRS presented a
?reject of Law authorising his. Majesty to exchange
!*:..e Lutes of Ncuilly and Villiers, part of the Crown
'fn.:rains, for the Orleans stables, situated in the Rue
Thomas de Louvrc, the acquisition of which is ne-
:essary to the completion of the design conceived and'
:?un to be executed by the last Government of
cziting the Louvre and the Thuilleries. His Excel-
lency observed, that this work, for some time sus-
petki.',l, ought no longer to be delayed, and that it
as desirab)e to finish, as quickly as possible, a mo-
.urnent which might serve as a fit habitation for the
Inr.arch of a great nation, and become at the same
the Palace of the Arts, which it cultivates with
se ne.:ch success and glory.
The discussion en the Budget of Marine was re-
I•:reed, and the total credit moved for was finally
ranted without any modification.
The Chamber th;in passed to the consideration of
Budget of the Minister of Finances.
I'`.. BENJAMIN CONSTANT entered into an elaborate
turniaation of the different items of the Budget, and
:enclucied by submitting eight different Amend-
ments, the general effect of which would be a reduc-
hen in the expense of this Department of 1,029,000 fr.
M. de Coueette spoke at some length in support
et the Budget.—Thy Chamber thee adjourned.

MADRID, MAY 0.
On the 18th instant, his Majesty gave audience to

Mr. Porcyth, *ho presented his rrodessisis as Minis-
ter from the United States. *-

Our news from Lima come down tS the 20d1 No-
vember last. They contain an account of the military
operations of the Royal troops against the Rebels.—
In Peru, as in Mexico, the latter do nothing more
than harass the Royalists ; the moment our troops
present themselves, the Rebels take to flight. They
held no plate of any consequence. Several Pro-
vinces, such as those of La Plata, Pasco, &c. enjoy
already the greatest tranquillity ; the mines of the
latter are in a most productive state, thanks to the
use of the Steam Engine which has been recently in-

:reduced for their drainage. These mines have of
late produced considerable quantities of metals.

The same letters mention, that according to ad-
vices from the Port of St. Blas, on the West Coast
of Mexico, there had been an earthquake, which had
done a great deal of damage in the city of Guada-
la xara. The towers of the Cathedral had been thrown

down, and the rest of the building nearly destroyed.
A great number of persons had perished, and the
houses were left deserted. It is added, that the fear
of new corsairs who infest the South Sea, detained
in the part of St. Bias twelve vessels which were
ready to sail, among which three were destined for
Europe.
A report is current this morning that the Alexan.,
der the First, of 74 guns, which made part of the
expedition that sailed a few days ago from Cadiz,
has been forced to return on account of some new
damage which it has sustained, thus reducing the ex-
pedition to one man of war and a frigate.
