way into the Green, and thence through Broad-

very recently erected, .at an enormous expense, was
tallied away. Many stores were totally destroyed,

the plantations was considerable also. It was
reported at Barbadoes, on the 12th, that from the

VENEZUELA AND NEW GRANADA: • '1

OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE OF BO-
JACA, THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ROYAL
ARMY, AND THE CAPTURE OF THE CAPITAL,.
SANTA FE. .
FOURTH BULLETIN OF TIIE LIBERATING ARMY 01
NEW GRANADA.
Yesterday, at day-light, our advanced corps giVing notice that
he enemy was in march by the road of Samaca, the army was
.tit under arms; and as soon as it was ascertained that he in-
ended passing the bridge of Bojaca, In order to open direct
:ommunication, and be in contact with the capital, we marched
ly the high road to prevent him, or force him to give battle.
At two in the afternoon, the enemy's first division reached the
bridge, where he saw only out advance of Cavalry. Not then
able to ascertain our force, and believing those opposed to hint
.vere nothing more than a reconnoitring party, be attacked them
vith his Cazadores to clear the way whilst the main body fol-
owed up. Our divisions quickened their march, and to the
rem surprise of the enemy, the whole of our infantry shelved
,hemselves in a column on a height commanding his. position.
The enemy's van had ascended part of the road, following our
..dvance, and the remainder of his army was below, about a quar-
:cr of a league from the bridge, and &hewed a force of 5,000 men.
Our Battalion of Cazadures of the van sent out a company
•.f skirmishers, and with the remainder in column attacked the
enemy's Cazadures, and drove them back precipitately to a wall,
from whence they were also dislodged ; they then passed the
bridge, and took up a position on the other side, and in the
meanwhile Mir Infantry came down, and the Cavalry marched
.icing the road.
The enemy made a movement by his right, which was op-
posed by the Rifles, and the British Company. The Battalions,
first of Barcelona and Paez's Bravos, with the Squadron of the
Cavalry of the Upper Plain, marched by the centre. The Bat.
:alien of the Line of New Granada, and the Guides of the rear,
joined the Battalion of Cazadores, and formed the left. The
columns of Tunja and Sozorro remained in reserve.
The action began at the same instant all along she line, Gene-
ral Anzoategui directed the operations of the centre and right;
he ordered a Battalion to be attacked which the enemy had sent
out as skirmishers in a glen, and forced it to retire on the main
body, which formed in column on a height, with three pieces of
artillery iti the centre, and two corps of Cadalry in the flapks,
waited the attack.
' Our troops of the centre, disregarding the fire of some corps
of the enemy posted on their left flank, attacked the main body,
The enemy gave a dreadfpl fire, but our troops, with the most
daring movements, executed with the strictest discipline, sur-
rounded all the enemy's corps. The squadron of cavalry of the
Upper Plain charged with its wonted valour, and from that mo-
meat all the efforts of the Spanish General were fruitless. He
last his position. The company of Horse Grenadiers (all Spa-
niards) was the first that c .wardly lett the field of battle. The
inf.unry endeavoured to re-form on another height, and was in-
'witty destroyed. • A corps of cavalry in reserve waited ours,
with the lances in rest, and was pierced through and through by
our lancers ; the whole S,ianish army, in complete route, and
closed in on all sides, after suffering dreadful carnage, threw
1 down their arms and surrendered.
With an almost siaitlitaneous movement, Gen Santander,
who directed the operations of the left, Ind why d met with
an inconsiderable resistance front the enemy's stn, nd to which
he bad only opposed his Cazadores, charged with some compa-
nies of the battalion of the line and the Guides of the rear, passed
the bridge and con.pleted the victory.
All the enemy's army remained in our hands. General Bar-'
reyro, Commander-in-Chief of the Army of New Granada, is a
prisoner, and was taken in the field of battle by a soldier of the
First Rifles, Pedro Martinez : the second in command, Colonel
Ximenez, is also a prisouer ; almost all the Commandants and
Majors of Corps, a multitude of inferior Officers, and more than
1600 men are likewise taken, and moreover all their arms, am-
munition, artillery, horses, &c. &c. Hardly 50 men escaped,
and amongst them some Chiefs and Officers of Cavalry, who
fled before the action was decided.
General Santander with the van, and the Guides of the rear,
pursued at the same time the dispersed to this place, and Gene-
ral Anzoategui, with the remainder of the Army, remained all
night iu the field.
The advantages are incalculable which will ensue to the Re-
public from the glorious victory of yesterday. •
Our troops never triumphed more decidedly, and have seldom
engaged troops so well disciplined, and so well commanded.
Nothing can be compared to the intrepidity with which Be-
nerMAnzoategui, at the head of two battalions, and a squadron
of Cavalry, attacked and overthrew the enemy's main body, and
to him the victory is in great measure doe.
General Santander made his movements with vigour and firm-
ness. 'The battalions (Paez's Bravos) and the first of Barcelona,
and the squadron of the Upper-Plain, fought with astonishing
valour. The columns of Tunja and Socorro, joined the left on,
the battle being decided. In short, his Excellency is highly sa-
tisfied with the behaviour of every Chief, Officer, and soldier, of
the Liberating Army, on this memorable day.
Our loss consists in thirteen killed, and fifty-three wounded;
amongst the former, Lieutenant of Cavalry, N. Perez, and the
Rev. Miguel Dias, Chaplain of the Van ; and amongst the latter,
Major Joseph Raphael de las Beres, Captain Johnston, and
Lieutenant Rivero.

FLIGHT OF THE VICEROY SAM ANO—JOY OF
THE NEW GRANADANS--CAPTURE OF ONY
MILLION OF DOLLARS.
FIFTH BULLETIN OF TIIE LIBERATING ARMY.
Lieutenant-Colonel Mugica, with the corps of Guides and
Dragoons, continued the pursuit of the enemy on the Bth, at
day-break. At eleven. his Excellency followed with the squa-
dron of Llanoarriba, and joined him at Choconta. On the 9th,
all the infantry set out. On the 10th, on the arrival of his Er-
celliney at the bridge of Comun, he received advice from the
capital, that the Viceroy, the Audience, with the guard of
honour, and the regiment of Cazadores of Aragon, and all the
civil and military Officers, had abandoned it on the morning of
the 9th, leaving it in a state of frightful anarchy. His Excel-
lency hastened his march ; and on the same day, entered the
capital amidst the acclamations of an immense population, which
knew nut how to express its joy--a population, which, after
three years of the most cruel oppression, beheld itself unex-
pectedly liberated, and could not help doubting its immense good
lot tune. The streets and the public places were filled with
people. All sought to see kis Excellency, the Prelldent, in or-
iler to ccinviace themselves of the reality.
The Viceroy Sarnano has fled in the direction of Honda, and
Calzada follows him on the southern side. All the Cavalry ass&
the Corps of the Rear•guard pursue him on all sides, and there
is reason to hope that none will escape. ,
The Liberating Army has attained -the object which it pro-
posed on undertaking the campaign. After 73 days march front
Pueblo de Mantecal, in the province of Varinas, his Excellency
entered the capital of New Granada, having overcome greater•
labours and difficulties than were foreseen on vollertakiag.thls

great operation, and having destroyed an attny three times'
stronger than the invading one.
The precipitation with which the Viceroy and his satellites
fled, on the first report of the battle of Bujsca, did not permit
him to save any of the public prverty. in the Mint we found
more than half a million of sonars in cash; and in all the other
magazines and depots sufficient completely to arm and equip a
numerous army. It may be said, that the liberation of New
Granada has ensured infallibly that of all South America, and
that the year intn will be the end of a War, which, with so
much horror to humanity, Spain has waged sinc,e, lslb.
The General in Chief of the Staff,
CARLOS SfSUBLEITE:
Head Quartets at Santa Ire, I th of August.
In an Official Dispatch, dated at Santa Fe, on the
14th of August, and addressed by the President $o•
LIVA lt to die Vice-President of the Republic, he.says,
that the People of New-Granada, regardless of
their own defenceless state, by attacking dispersed
parties of the enemy, have actively co-operated in his
absolute extermination, taking arms, and making a
great number of prisoners.' He also adds, tbat
" notwithstanding the general devastation which this
Kingdom has suffereel, the Republic may reckon on
a million dollars in cask, besides the large sum which
the property of the fugitive oppressors and discon-
! tented will produce."

KILMARNOCK REFORM MEETINC.

. . . _ . . .
Another Reform Meeting -took plade at 'Omar,
nock, on Saturday; and is said to have been attended
by upwards of 15,000 Reform: s and spectators. The
usual
sitinerant orators were present ; and the usual
Radical Resolutions were passed. It was carried by .
a great majority, that an Appeal shotild be made to
the Prince Regent, and not to the Nation: An ora.
tor.wasjust about to commence a lecture, when two
Cavalry Officers were seen advancing towards the
Meeting ; and trepidation prevailed, until it was
ascertained that they had not come with any hostile
intentions, but merely out of curiosity. The orator
then went on with his speech; but in the midst of it,
all at once the hustings gave way, and precipitated
to the grouttd about 200 people. Fears weie at first
entertained of the loss of lives, but the orator soon
thrust his .head above the crowd, and announced
that nobody was hurt. The Meeting quietly dispersed.
There were thirty-seven flags, sogie of which had
belligerent mottoes:—A white one, trimmed with
black, had this inscription: " He that hash no sword,
let him sell his garment and buy one reverse.
" Long locked for tomes at last." Light-blue flag,
carried by boys, motto, " Tyrants, behold our youth-
ful pledge in the cause of Liberty ;." reverse-., Who_
shat resist us in our parents cause?" White flag, on
which was represented a Ilighlandman in the act of
shaking chains from hls left hand, and putting his
right to draw a broad sword, motto:
" By Oppression's woes and pains,
By our Sors ip servile chains, •
We will drain our dearest veins,
But we shall be free !"
An old flag, supposed to have appeared at Drnm-
clog, but so torn and defaced, that the ancient motto
could not be made out. The modern ones for the
occasion were—" The Constitution of 16S8. I was
once good, but you see what lam now." A white
flag, on which was a representation of the Tree of
Corruption, with the National Debt, Corn Bill, Sine-
cures, &c. suspended from the branches, and a man
in the act of calling out—" Strike at the root.'
pole, with a besom upon it, and under it the words—
"To sweep away the House of .Corruption." Ano-
ther pole, with a bundle of rods hanging to it, with the
motto—" The more you do bind us, the
more united you will find us."
FROM ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The Hustings were erected in a large Park near
the Powder Magazine. A little before eleven, the
business of the day was commenced by Mr. GIBE, of
this place (Kilmarnock), who concluded his .speech
by proposing Mr. ARCIIIBALD CRAIG, Agent in Kil-
marnock, to conduct the Meeting ; it was seconded,
and agreed to by a shew of hands. .The Chairman,
who earnestly entreated the People to quietness, was
succeeded in his speech by Mr. STEEL, the celebrated
Reformer from Newmilns, who confined himself
chiefly to the subject of Paper Money.
The next speaker was Joust WILSON, of Newmilns,
better known for poetry than for politics. He was
very flowery ; and for his share of applauses, got
three times three, for the laugl.able way in which he
introduced the history of Balaam and his Ass, as
illustrative of his object.
The following Orator, Mr. PALMER,had a peculiar
kaack at the pathetic; and with his pitiful descrip-
tions of want and indigence, set a number of his
hearers a-tearing. .

Besides the speakers I have mentioned, there were
one BLAIR, from Glasgow; WILSON, from Camlachie;
WILSON, from Kilmarnock ; and the Radical Usk,
froni Stewarton. His harangue consisted chiefly in
'satire, of which his Stewarton foes got an ample dose.
—The strictest order and regularity was observed.
The Magistrates, and a great many respectable inha-
bitants of the Town were present. On the 'whole,
the speeches were less violent than was expected;
-and after carrying Votes of Thanks to the Female
Radicals present, &c. the business of the day was
concluded. A great part of the people of Kilmar-
nock went away immediately, but the country ones
were ranked up in order, and marched from the
grdund in regular procession, with their flags and
their music. It was really a grand sight.

Tuesday se'nnigl.t, a disgraceful tumult occurred
in Bridgetown, Glasgow. Calder, the Sheriff-officer,
