you, in the sane MOODIO* as you, some years ago, came on to
liberate Venezuela. The vanguard of your army has already
covered itself with glory, in rime of the provinces of your terri-
tory ; and dtis same vanguard, powerfully aided, will soon put'
an end to the destroyers of New Granada. The sun will not
cmr.plete the course of his period,• without beholding Alters of.
freedom in the whole of your territory.

PORT SPAY, SEPTEMBER S.
One of the passengers who was on board the brig
Emmeline, of this Port, at the time that vessel upset
off Grenada, arrived here on Tuesday. He states,
that he left the Island of Margarita on the 15th July,
in an open boat, accompanitd by the Mate, and three
of the crew of_ the said vessel—that on the 17th,
passing Carrupano, they fell in with a brig under
English colours, which hailed them, and ordered
them on board ; she proved to be the Maria, of Gre-
nada, commanded by Captain Wood, who informed
them that it was an English brig employee. in the
Spanish service, and had on board upwards of 100
men of that nation—that he (our narrator) and the
Mate were conducted on shore by the Captain, for
the purpose of being examined before the Comman•
dant of Carrupano, who, after having detained them
for some time, permitted them to return to the brig;
that, about ten o'clock, P. at. of the same day, the
Mate and the three sailors were again ordered on
shore, where they were detained loy the Spanish
Commander, on Captain Wood declaring that he
supposed them to be spies belonging to the Incorgcnts.
AU the entreaty of these unfortunate men, who pro-
tested their innocence of the charge:. laid against them,
.proved totally ineffectual ; and our informant has
every reason to believe they have either been mur-
dered or confined in some pri:an. Captain Wood
detained the passenger on board ; and, about mid-
night, set sail for St. Eustatia, where he landed his
cargo, and whence our informant made his escape,
and - proceeded to this Island.
