if It is however to be observed, that since this
statement was made out, the two divisions of Orituco
.nd Altagracia, as well as of Clarinets, the largest the
;poniards have disposable, were defeated at Barce-
lona, and in great measure destroyed.
With regard to their Navy, they have one cor-
vette, called the Baylen, of 18 guar. This was a
transport, and armed in Carthagena. They have
21,0 two brags, three schooners, and•other smaller ves-
sels, as per annexed statement, but most of them are

" On the Orinuko, small vessels, twelve.

" As the twelve smaller vessels cannot act on the
Main, it results that the Patriots have the superiority
there bath by sea and land. Hence, all the hopes
the Spaniards had placed in the succours they have
ben so lung expecting from the Peninsula, as well as
in the army of Morillo, which every day they an-
nounce in their Gazettes, has arrived on the confines
of Venezuela, are now confined to a very small
rival and military force. The perfidious and atro-
cious culidoct of Morill6, in sacrificing every one dis-
tinguished for his talents and pattiotism, has excited
inch );eneral indignation, that in Santa Fe scarcely
any consiJerable place is to be met with that does not
rise up the moment the Spaniards have evacuated.
All the piovincet. at Tun3a is already in arms; and
accounts have just been received, stating, that in that
of Pograyan they ate fighting with so much ardour,
that Morillo has deemed it necessary to march there
it person, with nearly the whole of his forces. Let
this be as it may, certain it is, that the whole of
New Granada is in a state of combustion, occasioned
as well through cruelties as the infraction of all the
promises the Spaniards made on coming into the
cnuntry. All their communications are cut off, and
the sta.ination of trade among them is such, that
from CarthAgena and Santa Martha, cargoes have
been compelled to go away without meeting purcha-
krt. What then have the Spaniards now to expect ?"

RIO JANEIRO, JAN umnr 25, 11317.—Since our last
we have had no arrivals from Buenos Ayres what-
ever. However, it is said, that accounts have been
received here, possibly by Government, which state
that the Government of La Plata had formally de•
Glared war against the Government here, and should
this prove to be the case, we think that the shipping
of this country, particularly the coasting trade, will
suffer much from the enemy's privateers. No ac-
counts of the expedition against Montevideo, but he
Portuguese proceed very slowly. An action with
Aargeas was daily expected to take place.
