SOUTH AMERICAN PATRIOTS.

At a late hour last night we received the follott4
ing gratifying accounts respecting the further suc-
cesses of the South American Patriots:
" CU,RACOA, OCTOBER 2.
" Accounts from La Guayya_agree in stating that
the Independent force, consisting of about 1,200 men,
sailed from Matgaretta on the 11th instant. Their
destination is unknown.

64 General Mound.° was in Caraccas, and had or-
dered two battalions of infantry to march from
thence to reinforce the Spanish garrisons in Barcelona
and Cumana.

GUERERE, who commands a squadron of Aches.
on board of which he has about 800 men, lately cap-
tured three Patriot vessels of that description, and

" You may now reckon as free the whole of New
Granada, with the exception of Carthagena. In con-
sequence of the Expedition sent 'overland to rein-
force Lima, the Whole of the Kingdom of New Gra-
nada had been deprived of its garrisons. In Popayan
the garrison is very small, and that of AntiOquia
does not amount to 60 men,, inter.ded merely as a
guard for the Mint. There have been sent to Antio-
quia 500 men, and to Popayan 1500, in order after-
wards to liberate all the conterminous Provinces, the
best results being expected from the enthusiasm with,
which the Republican troops are every where re-
ceived. That which is now of most importance, and
to which, as is reasonable, the greatest attention has
been paid, is to raise a great army in order to resist
any expedition which Spain may send out ; for the
Royalists have now here no force capable of under-
taking any thing against Santa Fe."

a -GUAYANA, OCTOBER 14, 181 9.
a A Courier has just arrived from the capital of
New Granada, bringing us Journals and much good
news. Already Santa Martha, must be free, and
Carthagena blockaded or besieged. A considerable
body of picked troops marched to the assistance of
Venezuela, and must be already en the frontiers, if
not Within its territory. The enemy's squadron has
disappeared from Margarita, and the crew has taken
refuge in the Hospitals. Some Spaniards of the re-
giment ;of Balastro, have arrived at Maturin, and
given intelligence of ,the retreat of the enemy's naval
force. We have received:a launch, having on board
a quantity of gold in bars, from Santa Fe, they are
now unloading the packages, and until they are
weighed we are uncertain of the amount ; but the
whole will be employed in the purchase of muskets,
and only muskets."

Marauding Expedition of M'Gregor against Rio de
la Hache, and disagreeable Flight.--The Lively Ann,
the schooner Samuel, and sloop Alesta, with 100
troops, under the command of M'Gregor, sailed from
Aux Cayes 27th ult. and on the 9th instant reached
Rio de la Hache, where they came to anchor and
landed the troops that night; M'Gregor did not dis •
embark. The troops finding their Chief did not head
them, advanced towards the town, attacked the
Royalists in the woods, and after a dreadful fire of:
grape shot from the Royalists, during which several
of the British Officers and men were killed, they
gained possession of the town. The Royalists, about
600 men, retreated, and no attempt was made by
them till the 11th instant, when they augmented their
forces, attacked the Garrison, blew up the Fort, and.
compelled the enemy to abandon their conquest and
fly in all directions.
OCTOBER 23.
Accounts of further piratical proceedings, on the
part of M'GREGOR, against the defenceless inhabi-
tants of Minezenelo de Cuba, have been brought by
a schooner from St. Jago. He appeared off the coast
of that island with two schooners, and was joined the
rime day by three other piratical vessels, when he
stood into The port, and sent in a demand by a Spanish;
Gentleman, that if eighty thousand dollars were j
