DCAR Femur —Under date of sth inst. I wrote
you by the way of Maturin, and by this time I sup-
pose year are well informed of our being possessed of
the two Guayan Is, and the whole of the river Ori-
Rolm. The squadron of Admiral Brion has returned,
altar capturing the greatest part of the enemy's con-
voy. The prizes are extremely valuable, 'as well on
account of the property and rich familiei on board,
is because in them we have captured more than 500
soldiers, a large quantity of artillery and muskets,
&c. &c. A friend is the bearer of this, and he will
inform you minutely of the other advant3ges we have
gained in this province, and throughout the whole
agent of the Republic. We are now in every respect
k the most advantageous situation. The army of the
Lower Apure is very considerable, and commands
the whole of the Lianos (Plains), as well astir* entire
provinces of. Casanare and Varinas. Almost the
wbole of the province of Caracas also enjoy freedom.,
General Saraza, with his brigade, has extended him-
self as far as Rastro, Calvario, and Villa de Cara.—
Our forces in this quarter are daily increasing, by
desertions from the enemy and the enthusiastic feel-
ing spread throughout the whole country. The
Royalists publicly pass over to us, and their oflicevs
c,atutot prevent them ; besides being wearied out, they
look to our regular pay aad prize-moneys entire

squadrons and garrisons have presPnteti tl'emtelres
to General Sarnia. The situation of the enemy is
desprratt., and Ow troops will experience but little
difficulty in entering Caracas"
