REPUBLIC OF VENEZUELA.

BULLE 1 IN.

GUAYANA, NAY 29, 1.817.
" At day-break the2lthinit. our gun-boats, under
Colonel Armairn, surprised the Spanish post on the.
Island of Faxardo, and captured every thiog the
enemy had in that position. Our loss in the capture
of the Spanish ve!sels, was one kill .d and three
wounded, that of the enemy 40 killed and prisoners
" The Commander in Chief of the Lower Apure,
under date cf 21d April. announces that the whole of
the province ta Cassanare, in New Grenada, had
been occepied by the troops of the Republic, after
destroying the garrisons of Gliasdualito and Colu-
meta, consisting of 4.00 men, with which force the
Spanish General intended to relieve Varina. One
hundred and eighty Spaniards were killed, and the
leads of Gotig.ra, the Governor, and of Lieutenant
Colonel B ll.•it, we,r fixed on the very same places
where a little Iseloo. La Torre had stuck up those
of the Patriot Olmedilla an -1 h s companions
" Our division took 200 muskets, 2.7,000 car.
touches, 51,0(X) dollars in silver, 200 loads of provi.
:ions, and two magazines of clothing and other ar-
ticles. In consequence of this success, Colonel Perez
has established his head-quarters in Betimes, atter oc-
cupying the salt works of Chita, in the province of
Tunja, • ith a strong detachment, and facilitating to
the province of Cassanare the organization of a Pro.
vinciat Governmi nt, which has been established.
" By the correspondence intercepted in Pore, and
carrying on between Samano, Governer of Santa Fe,
and General Morillo, we learn that the greatest part
of the towns of that kingdom ate in complete com-
rnOtion against die Spaniards. The inhabitants of
Sccorro have put the garrisoo stationed among them
to the sword, consisting of 200 Spaniards.
" General Para attacked the town of San Anto-,
nio, defended by Remigin Ramoz, took it after beating
the enemy and taking from him all his men and at-
anament.
" Colonel Rangel,-who acts in the neighbourhood
of San Jaime, completely defeated a Spanish column
under Gorrin, who was killed in the action.
" Commandant Villasana entered San Carlos (on
the road to Caraccas), put the garrison to the sword,
and then re rented to his positions.
" Colonel Guerrero WAS straitening the line of San
Fernando, the garrison of which place had received
no reinfince merits, and by this time it mast have fallen
into our hands, as Gen. said Paez would be the case.
With the arms and stores the latter General has taken
from the enemy, he intends proceeding to the plains
in the rear of Caroccas, which present no obstacle to
his approach. The enemy has in tact now lust the
whole of has disposable force.
lfa tight days our Navy will be formidable. We
have now among large and small ones, SO vessels on
the Orinciko, which we are arming with all haste with
the artillery we have taken from the enemy. Thus
shall we soon complete the reduction of what remains
of Guayana, and at one and the same time we shall
take the remnant of the Spanish Navy here and for-
tresses. We have already had considerable advan-
tage on the river. A Spanish Commander of one of
the posts is about to desert to us with the whole of his
divison, for which purpose a safe conduct has been
sent to him. He himself has stepped fot ward to make
this offer to us, so that beyond all doubt within fifteen
days not an enemy will be found on the whole of the
Orineko, more particularly, if our brave Admiral
with his naval forces should arrive.
" The advices received from General Monagas are
the most favourable. Colonel Barroso has beaten an
enemy's party of 200 men, killed the Commander,
and several officers, and, in short, destroyed the whole.
The plains of Barcelona and Caraccas are completely
tranquil, and without any enemies to molest them.
In Chaguaramal only, there are 200 men, and a
small garrison in Barcelona.

LETTER MOM GENERAL BOLIVAR TO A MERCHANT
IN TRINIDAD.
" Mesa' in front of Angostura, May 19, 1817.
61 The Spaniards will have published the taking of
Barcelona, and undoubtedly given to this event an'
extraordinary importance. Most assuredly such it
would have been, if I had not conveyed away to the
plains part of the park of artillery I had there, and
more especially if the immortal day we gained on the
llth ult. on the Geld of St. Felix, bad not mare than

fully compensated to us that loss. I inclose to you
bulletin Nc. 8, detailing the wl.ole of the operations
of that memorable action. La Torre, the Spanish
Commander, escaped only with fifteen or twenty men.
" This success has made us masters of the whole
province of Guayana, and confined the enemy in the
two towns, where they are driven to the greatest dis-
tress. In both places we blockade them in the most
rigorous manner. and with superior forces, so that
they must evacuate them or be taken by assault. Wr
have quiet possession of every thing that exists in
this rich province, whose towns, cattle, and agricul•
tore have experienced no injusies, and we are thus
famished with the means of raising a powerful army,
as we are provided with produce, and all the other
essentials to purchase the elements necessary to equip
. it, and a tractable and docile race to man it.
Our4.quadrun will soon be on the river, and then
we shall be in a more direct communication with your
island. In the mean time we can make use of Matu-
%in as a port, though the right and left banks of the
river are garrisoned with our troops, and if any ves-
sels should come up with military stores and clothing
for our troops, they will sell at excellent prices.
" I am, &c. (Signed). 44 nuereata."

The Accounts which we stated yesterday to have
been received in town from General Bouvan, will
be found at length in a preceding column of our
Paper of to-day. The recent defeat of the Royalists
in Guayana, appears from these documents to have
been most complete, the Republicans being left mas-
ters of the whole Province, and their opponents obliged
to colifiae themselves to the two towns of Barcelona
and Angostura, where they are bes eged in the most
rigorous manna. and reduced to the greatest distress.

Tie General expresses his confidence that within
fifteen days, their reduction would be effected, and
not an enemy be left on the whole of the Orinoko.

From these accounts sse learn also that the inhabi-
tants of et he neighbouring province of Santa Fe are
about to join the cause of independence. The
greater part of the towns of that kingdom are in
a s:ace of complete commotion. In Socorro the in-
habitants had risen and put the garrison, consisting of
'2OO Spaniards, to the sword.

The Paris Papers of Sunday arrived last night,
And in a preceding column we have given extracts
of their most material contents.

Another •day's Papers have came to hand this
morning, frum which we subjoin a few• additinnil
notices

PARIS, JULY se.

General Belair (apprehended at the same time with
Madame Lavalette) has not, as reported, been yet
released from prison.
The Tribunal of Correctional Police has d'smissed
the complaint against Holleville (cousin of Bona.
parte) and the other persons concerned in the secret
association called The Sleeping Lion.

M. Gallatin, Ambassador from the United States
to the Court of France, arrived on the 22d at Ghent,
whence his Excellency intends proceeding by Brus.
sets to Holland.

The Artillery, and a great part of the English
Infantry. stationed at Bapaume, have left that place
and encamped under the walls of Cambray. It ap-
pears that they have gone thither in older to be pre-
sent at a great review which is soon to take place.

FRANKFORT, JULY 23.

The King and Qaeea of Wirtemberg are expected
here to-morrow.

His Majesty is beginning to see the hopes which
he had conceived relative to his Plan of Coustituticn
realised. A considerable number of the mediathed
Princes and other Members of the Wirtembergese
Nobility have successively adopted the Constitution,
and it is hoped that in a short time it will be accepted
by the great majority of the inhabitants of Wirtem-
berg who have a right to vote.
