. A Proclamation has been communicated to us at a
late hour this forenoon, which puts beyond doubt
the renewal of hostilities in Venezuela. It is addressed
by General De La Thane, who succeeded Nloatu.o,
to the Spanish Royalist forces, and is dated from the
head-quarters at Caraccas, 23d March. The General
throws the blame of renewing the war on BOLIVAR,
who has Challenged DE LA TWIRL either to enter the
field, or 4, acknowledge pretensions which he knew it
was notin his (Da LA TORRE%) power to admit."
Advices were received at Valparaiso, on the 28th
of December, that the Liberating Army of Peru had
defeated the Royalist Forces under General O'ReILLT,
with great loss. O'REILLY himself is made prisoner,
and his army dispersed. It was doubted at firm
whether this was not a report of the first slight actin
which took place; but, on a comparison of the dates,
there seems reason to give some credit to these reports;
and, if so, Lima will no doubt fall immediately.

Letters have been received at Portsmouth from

The following is an extract of a letter received 13
Glasgow, from a Gentleman in Smyrna, dated the
18th April, 1821. We give it for the informatics
which it contains, and not for the sentiments, which
are illiberal, nor for its anticipations, which are at
variance with existing'facts:
" Just upon the eve of Mr. Lae. embarkation, news arrived
from Constantinople that that city was in great commodes, •
account of the apprehension of a general insurrection among the
Greeks, who, it appears, have really been fomenting a dep+
though a foolish conspiracy, to overturn the Turkish GOIWO•
mrnt, and to establish an independent kingdom. Thu Nor
on becoming public, created the greatest consternation here,
as it was magnified, and mingled with a thousand exaggerated
stories, and people's dismayed imaginations ismnediatell vie'

A general • souse gui pest!' took place—many Greek families
hurried on board vessels, and sailed for Tino and other blander
while others took shelter in the Franks' premises. Al Wile",
transactions were thus at an end for several days, till die InTM
of the Constantinople post this morning, which, bringing rucrg
peaceable intelligence, has restored order here and allayed Fes'
