ST. THOMAS'S, JULY 21.

•
Yesterday a vessel arrived here from Angostura, in
the Orinoque, which brings letters, stating, that an
action had been fought in the province of Barcelona,
in which the Patriot General Menagas, with his
Cavalry, attacked and annihilated a division of the
Royalists, under the command of one Lozano, who
was killed, as well as the second in command ; a mat
number were slain and taken prisoners.
JULY 22.—The news from Laguira k, that the
Royalists have evacuated St. Carlos, and fell back on
Pallineira, the head-quarters of Morino. General
Bolivar was at Calaboza. The Royalist General was
displeased at the Commandant of St. Carlos, for re-
tiring from that place : it was expected he would
order him to be shot. The people of Caraccas were
anxious to see General BoLtVAR, and they write con-
fidently that his arrival there may be hourly expected.

The intelligence from Naples, received yesterday,
reaches to the 11th ultimo, by which we learn, that
the treatment experienced at Vienna by the Prince
CARIATI, who had been sent as Ambassador Extra-
ordinary by the Court of Naples, to announce the
late Revolution, seems to have made a strong im-
pression at Naples. Immediately on the return of
the PRINCE, the Duke de GALLO received orders to
proceed to Vienna, where he is to replace Prince
RUFF% as Ambassador to that Court.—The PRINCE
VICAR-GENERAL addressed the following letter, on
the Ist of August, to the Minister at War:
" The Royal Macedonian Battalion, being composed of fo-
reign soldiers, cannot be kept up, according to the constitutional
system, and accordigg to the principle which I have adopted, of
being surrounded only by my national troops."
The 30th of August being the time limited for
taking the oath of allegiance, under the new order
of things, by all Public Functionaries, all those who
had not previously subscribed, and transmitted their
oath to the Government, were to be suspended from
their functions.—A dreadful fire, which broke oat

on the morning of the 22d of July, and which was
not extinguished on the 10th of August, had ra-
vaged the immense forests which crown the Appe-
nines, in the vicinity of Fondi, the commune of which
was on the 10th ult. entirely surrounded with flames.
The fire had even spread beyond that territory, and,
above all, into that of St. Andre, along the Consu-
lar- road, over the territory of Serraglione and of
Selva. The Sub-Intendant of Fondi had put in re-
quisition the whole population, to put a stop to this
terrible plague. At the date of the last accounts it
had not been ascertained whether the fire was ;he
effect of chance or malevolence ; nor whether it com-
menced in the Roman States, or in those of Naples;
Fondi being on the boundary between them.
The intelligence from Madrid is to the 18th ult.
A Committee of the Cortes had made a Report hos-
tile to the existence of the Jesuits iu Spain. The pro-
position for introducing Juries in judicial proceedings
was read a second time. The Commission of Finance
had made a Report, recommending a law, prohibit-
ing Grand Ecclesiasticqil Dignitaries, Counsellors of
State, and others, from holding two livings or offices.
In Majorca, in five days preceding the 3d ult. 21 per-
sons had died of the pestilential fever, making the
total number of deaths 1891. The vessel sent to
Mexico, with the news of the late revolution, reached
Vera Cruz on the 28th of May, and the dispatches
were instantly forwarded to the Viceroy. All was
tranquil in Mexico.
