In this part of Spanish America a club has been
farmed, caning itself the Patriotic Society of the Ca-
raccas ; the evident object of whose labours is to dis-
sever those colonies from the mother couatry. In
furtherance of their views, they have resolved to pub-
lish a monthly journal, the prospectus of which has
been transmitted to us, and which is to be called El
Pe4riota de Venezuela. In this prospectus the Society
assume a very high tone ; they are to " dissipate the
gross ignorance in which many of their fellow-citizens
are stink, and to raise their ideas to the lofty dignity
of free men." But their lucubrations are not only to
instruct the people, but even " to give form and sta-
bility to the constitution, and to strengthen the indis-
soluble ties of the great Venezuelean federatho."
The principles on which the work is to be conduct.
ed will be sufficiently understood from the following
extract :
" 1. he principal essays it will contain shall be di-
rected to demonstrate the necessity of declaring our
absolute independence ; to point out the means of
attaining it, —thc obstacles it will be necessary to sm-
mount,—the eternal and imprescriptible fradqationsi
of the rights of the people,—the fr;volous falsehoods'
of those rights which prejudice might yet ascribe to
Ferdinand de Bourbon,—and the incompatibility of
the former rights with the existence of the latter, a'
preliminary without which the greatest exertions must
be considered as useless, In prosecution of these
views, the education of a free man shall be another of
the objects of the Journal. It will also treat of pub.

lie economy, population, industry, public instruction,
and all the great means of general prosperity. Last-
ly, the politics of the nations of Europe and America,
the nature of their Governments, their interests, the
relations which they have or may form with our's,
will supply other fit subjects for this Journal.
" I will also contain the most important details
with regard to the state of the war, and of public af-
fairs; of foreign, and particularly of domestic events;
above all, giving exact views of the public and do-
mestic policy of the United States of North America,
and of the causes of their rapid progress in strength
and prosperity."
Citizens Vicente Salias and Antonio Munoz y Fe-
bar are to be the Editors of the Journal.
It appears, then, that the plans of this society are
completely revolutionary. They do not even speak
with common decency of their unfortunate Monarch;,
but assert, that prejudice alone can ASCI ibe any rights
of sovereignty to Ferdinand de Bourbon. We are
sorry to see this disposition to desert the n•.other coon-
try in her utmost need. It is iv t COIIS;SLCM Nvi,h that
hatred of tyranny which they profess to feel ; fur Ebel
country of their ancestors, with which they were con-
nected by so many ties, is now a prey to the most un-
provoked and perfidious aggression; and to afford it
liberal support and aid would display a real abhor-
rence of oi,pression. It is to be hoped, that this Pa-
triotic Society will not eventually min out another
jacobin club. We have been told, from good autho-i
rity, that it has been formed with a view to destroy
the Congress, and to assume the absolute direction of
affair; 'lle famous Miranda is supposed to be at
its head, and it is secretly supported by the President of
the Executive Power. This Society, we are also told,l
has succeeded in influencing the Congress to impri-
son some of its Members, and is increasing in num-
bers. Some time ag its members amounted only
to 150, but they now exceed 200, and among them
are several French and Mulattoes. Indeed, from the
authoritative_ style which the Society adopt in their
prospectus, it is evident that they consider themselves
as the real legislators of the country.
We are fat tiler informed, that they are succeeding
la establishing that federative system which they have
projected ; for Valencia, Vale Aragua, and other pro-
vinces, have already refused to obey any authority
but their own.

CORUNNA, AUGUST es.
That the public may be apprised without delay of
some fortunate results of the operations of the 7th
army, of which 1)on Gabriel de Mendizabal is Ge-
neral-in-Chief, we hare published the present bulle-
tin, which crartains accounts transmitted by a Spa-
niard from Santona, dated nine o'clock in the evening
of ti,e loth
Between 7 and 800 men, with some cavalry of the
division of Senor P•alier, arrived upon Santander at
half-past four in the morning ot the 14th, after march-
ing the preceding night three leagues, with so much
aecrecy that, surprising and kirling the first sentinels,
they got p. ssession of the entrance to the street S.
Francisco, and the gate of los Remedios and Sta-
clara, and several if Santa Lucia, before they were
at all iieicrived ; and the first notice of their move-
ment was given by a disclidtge ironn the guard of the
h..spital r f S. Rake I, in the high street.
The Gt.iu s ith all il flicers (who were don-
Vie the number that pi opera y ngeu to the garrison)
were in bed—he had about 300 gen d'arnies, and lot)
infantry ; fait iu col:scgtilllCe of the surprise, though
lie sallied out to the str, et, he could collect only about
So gen ..'ainies—and with them, and a part or the
officers nil half dressed, they toox to the high road ;
f them all° could, both officers and men, per-
sona b. longing to the hospitals, intendancy, commis-
sariat, and other &pa:five:its.
As soon as they arrived at the quay` they plunged
into the water in older to seize certain boats which
were lying off the beach, and N% ith the crew of two
brigs which were run aground and c.aild not be gut
off, they manned Cle ',witches, which they got into
a ith die greatest precipitation, wading up trithetr
in water. 'they then pbt off for Liantona, where

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6.

more than the clothes on his back, and soma '
were without shoes.
A heavy firing was kept up on those who endea•
Toured to escape, but at nine o'clock it had ceased
on all sides—forty Spanish soldiers assembled in thr
Old-square, having taken from 60 to 80 horses be-
longing to the officers and troops, and about SO pri-
soners, many of them officers.
They then marched off in the greatest order by the
high road, without causing the smallest loss to the
inhabiunts, or even asking from them any victuals.
Up to this hour it is not known what road they took,
whether that of Camargo or Puente de Arce.
In the new sqaare one French sentinel was found
dffad•—on the ascent to the tower there were 6—and
Ids the rope-walk of Becedo there were found nine
gen d'armes, and two chiefs of battalion killed, with
ahorse of the General.
It is not known what became of him, but there is
every reason to believe that he was made prisoner--
10m aide-de-camp was killed, and another arrived at
Santona.

Advices up to this moment state, that the fort
which the enemy had constructed in Salia, and which
was garrisoned by 150 men, was yesterday taken by
the Spaniards and burnt—the garrison were making
off by the mountains, and yesterday they had a sharp
rencounter in Camargo—the result is not known.—
The principal attack was upon Torrelavega, which
was fortified at various points, and upon S. Vincente
de la Barquera. It is said that Torrelavega surren-
dered on the evening of yesterday, and that to day
the Spaniards would return to Santander ; but this
requires confirmation. In Santander there is an Aid.
jutaat of Battalion, with 90 French, who keep the
tort. This morning three English frigates and three
small brigs anchored off the castle of La Cerda, firing
upon the castle of S. Martin ; and five boats entered
the bay, with their cannon, firing at various points
short of the town. All this certainly operates a di-
version. In the night of the 15th, the English en-
tered Santander by S. Martin—they assembled in the
new square, and broke up some waggons which were
there, and again re-embarked without any interrup-
tion. Campillo, with 900 men, is at Toranzo. We
arc also assured, that Longa has collected his force
against Escudo.

The American frigate Constitution, Captain Hutt..
of 44 guns, which has at-Jived at Plymouth, has Mr,
JOEL BARLOW, appointed Plenipotentiary from the
United States to the Court of Paris, on b',ard, with
his family and suite. nom the circumstance of his
being accompanied by his family, it is supposed that
he expects to remain a considerable time in France.
Mr. BARLOW left Washington on the 2d of August,
for Anapolis, where he embarked on the sth on board
the Constitution. He is attended by Mr. Walther; ,
who has returned to his former duties of Consul Ge-
neral at the Frencls Court ; and also by Mr. LEE,
who resumes his situation of American Consul at
Bourdeaux. We understand that from France the
frigate is to proceed to Holland, to convey the specie
for the payment of the dividends due to that country
on American stocks, and from thence to visit Eng-
and for the like purpose, as to the dividends due to
the subjects of Great Britain.

We this morning received some files of American
Papers, but not of a later date than those already re-
ceived. The appointment of Jon, BARLOW, as Mi-
nister to France, is triumphantly annouaced in the
Democratic Journals as an omen of a perfect reconcili-
ation between America and the French Government.

Thursd.i! two Russian Gentlemen left Yarmouth,
for Cronstadt, in a British sloop of war. The opinion
of a political intercourse between the Cabinets of Lon- ,
don and Petersburgh, to which this fact gave consi-
derable plausibility, is farther strengthened by other
circumstances. We understand that two diplomatic
characters are expected to leave this country in the
course of a few days, one for Petersburgh, and the
other for Constantinople. The Messengers PARSONS
and FISHER are also under orders to proceed to the
same places. We may add, that several letters have
been received from Russia, which state, that notwith-
standing the revival of hostilities with the Porte, the
conclusion of a peace between the two powers was
daily expected.
A Gentleman who has arrived in town from Co-
runna states, that Casrasos, who is to take the corn-
mand of the Gallician army, had not arrived. ABADIA,
its former General, who had repaired to Vigo for his
health, had returned to resume his station, and SAN.-
TOCILDEb is now second in command. TN. latter is
a yo.ing, enterprising and brave officer, but he had
nut sufficient experience for his situation at this time,
when a powerful support is required to be given to
the operations of the Allies in the north of Portugal.
We are sorry to add, that the civil and financial
arrangements under the Junta of Gallicia are very ill
conducted, in consequence of which the military
efforts are obstructed. It is stated, that the mercan-
tile class has been peculiarly oppressed by the exac.
Lion; of the Government.

Advices from Toro of the 26th July state. that
4000 men from that city had taken the direction of Sa •
lamanca. with the view to proceed from thence to rein-
force Ciudad Rodrigo. A great quantity of provisions
accompanied them for the supply oldie place.
The Curate of Billobiao had routed a party of 60
French at the bridge of Quiotaaa,which was employed

to escort a courier to Valladolid. Almost the whole
detachment was either killed or made prisoners, and
among the latter was the officer by whom they were
commanded.
A few weeks since we communicated the substance
of the accounts received from the North of Spain on
the subject of the Spanish General PORLIZWI enter-
prize against Santander. The official dispatch which
details the General's successes has now been received
in town, from which we are enabled to supply our
Readers with some additional particulars, which will
be found under the head of Spanish Papers.

It is said that there are now under bond in the
King's stores about four years' consumption of all
the raw materials of our manufactures, and that there-
fore the import of more will do nothing for the re-
venue. It is only in the luxuries of France, in the
articles of claret, champaigne, burgundy, brandy, &c.
that we are short. Now if this be really the truth,
Ministers ought surely to shut our harbours against
all importation except from friendly countries.

We have received Dublin Papers of Monday last :
the only Catholic Meeting of which they give an ac-
count is that of Londonderry, which was numerously
and respectaby attended.
