LI PREVIOUS TO THE FALL OF THE
GUAYANA PROVINCES.

As soon acthe troops acting against Angostura,
•medir
.Liatieral Cedeno, had been reinforced by 1,500
infantry under General Pier; the first movements of
the liberating army were made towards the interior
of .the Province, in consequence of which all the
towns es both sides of the river Caroni were taken
with admirable rapidity, by conquering and dislodg-
ing the enemy from place to place, and comporting
him at length to shut himself up in the two Gnayanas.
The last battle comm4ded by General Ceruti, 'one
of the King's Officers, ;tad General Piar, of the If
publican army, was the prelude to the fall of the top
tresses, or keys of the coontry. It was on the plates
of St. Felix the above steeled was fought, and aide
the Royalists, and among them some of the most
boasted troops Spain has sent to the Western. Hemi-
sphere, were completely destroyed. The sieges of
the two capitals of Old and New Guayana were then
straitened, so much so, that the besieged were de-
prived of all external supplies.
• The Patriots, by building and capturing vessels,
were at leigth enabled to form a navy of gen-boats
and nether's, so superior, that they soon mode them-
telves masters of the whole of the Orinoko. They
Captured numerous large merchantmen, as well as,
King's Tess. h. The Royalists.made every excrtios
to relieve the besieged, but the Patriots were con&
nasally on the alert. They captured two strong cowl
slays coming down from Sao Fernando de Apure, 811,
well as the secoad in command of the Spanish naval
Lyon Pedro Echiniqire, comman4ing a aqua.:
dron of gun-boats. Eventually the Patriots succeed-
ed in intercepting all correspondence between the two
Guyana, and the city of San Fernando do Apure.
The siege of Angostura being straitened still more,
by the arrival of the Supreme Chief, General Bolivar,
hunger at length compelled the Spaniards to evacuate
the place with such precipitation and disorder, that,
they were not able to carry off either artillery or any
warlike stores. Thus, on the 17th July, the Patriots
became possessed of the town of Angostura, and the
Spaniards tocke refuge in the fortresses, built at aft
Immense expense after the soscessive invasions of the
English, Dutch, and Friticrt. In their retreat from
the town to the fortresses; th,ey 'Wit several vessels,
which the Patriots intercepted:
On the Oth, five of the,lngogun•boats helongisid

Chief, Antonio Diaz, had an action in the river with

atter a most bloody engagenient, the Royalists sheer.
ed off, leaving behind them three vessels, which fell
into the hand. or the Patriots. On this occasion the
Royalists also lest four other vessels, which were suck,
and about 200 men killed and woonded.
Admiral Brion, who had a tedious passage up thk
Jiver, on the 12th July anchored at Cabrian, two
leagues from the capital to Old Guayana. His squa-
dron consisted of 16 'vessels of war, which were im.
osediately put under three batteries, for this purpose
constructed with heavy artillery. The arrival of this
naval reinforcement spread the greatest consternation
among the Royalists, as their retreat was now com-
pletely cut off. ,It was evident they must fall into
the hands of an insulted and outraged enemy. A
Conned of War was held, and it was determined to
embark all their riches on board of 25 vessels still
left, and endeavour to cut their way through the line

AU *fie arrangements being midi., on the 3d inst.

line of the Patriots, which they found well (prtified.

of the.Royalit vessels were Captured as they passed
the line t some few, however, escaped, which the
