, tible at the said diaaribution, the same should not be found tuffs.
dent to cover the above apppropriations, the Government will
supply the deficiency from other radonal property, and more
parttcularly by grants of lands.
S. If, beinot or after the said property has been distributed
the Government should think proper to reward the valour, ser-
vices, or any distinguished action of a military nun, the same
may be done out of the said property, without Its being neces-
sary to abide by the rank of the person so favoured, or the
imam conferred upon him.
6. In case any military person has merited and obtained thr
grant spoken of in the preceding article, he shall have no right to
lay claim to the part assigned kim by Art. it, if the value of the pro-
I gerty allotted to him is greater than that corresponding to big rank.
7. When the property susceptible of distribution is of more
value than the amount assigned to each rank respectively, the
Government will take care thatthe allotments are made in a mau-
-1 ner molt corJormable to the interests of all, and if so wished,
partnerships ezu be formed for holding of any particular estate.
S. The distribution shall be made by a Special Committee,
which an due time shall be named, and act in conformity to the
regulations fur that purpose to be published.

Extract of a letter from Admiral Raton, dated
Aagustura, October 25 :—" Fifty of my gun-boats,
are now proceeding up this River, to dislodge the'
Spaniards who have been blockaded up at the Apure'
River some time by the armies of St. Fe, and they
must be driven from every quarter. We shall soon
be in communisation, by water, to New Grenada. and
the Snails, from whence great trade must be made
with this part, and, if possible, with steam-boats. I
shalt /*rutin in this 'Mee until the reducticn of
Porto tavalla, where the Spaniards may make stale
stand, as I have heard that nine vessels have arrived
there from Old Spain with troops, but do not put any
confidence in it. It has been very sickly here, and
most all the "mailer tpwns have not any inhabitants
left, and no leas than 3000 have died in this
