MADRID, SEPTEMBER b.
His Majesty's corvette the Dioment, which arrived,
in the port of Cadiz on the 16th of last month, has
brought official dispatchec, containing the interesting
intelitgrece of the pacific entrance of the King's
troops into the capital of the Viceroyalty of the king-
dam of New Granada.—Lietitenaat General Don
Pablo Mraii;o, General in Chief of the Expeditionary
Spanish Army, has trap.ani:ted to the Secretary of
State and Dispatch 1:1. the War -oepartment, an
account or this event, dated from his head qua: tern,
• 'Santa Fe de Bogota, May SI, in the following terms :
as MosT Excreta-ENT SENOR—I have the satisfaction
informto your Excellency, that the troops under the
command of Coloneb; Don Miguel de la Torre and
Dna Sebastian de la Calzada entered this capital of
the Viceroyalty on the 6th of the present month,
after the pretended Government and the troops had
ettaneloned it, flying disorderly in different directions,
and thus affording the inhabitants, most of whom are
. faithful and loving subjects of his Majesty, the op-
portunity of testifying their sincere joy.
as On the 9th and the 11th, Captain Don Antonio
Gomez came up with the enemy, whom he routed
with only 200 men, taking all the horses, arms, am-
tnuniron, baggage, &c. and throwing into complete
disorder the miserable remains of the rebels, who fled
towards the plains of Sr. Morn, where the sword
of justice will overtake them. Several hundreds of
soldiers have come in with their arms, to avail them..
selves of the pardon which has been granted them.
66 Colonel D in Francisco Warleta occupied Me.
dellin on the Gth, and subsequently the whole pro-
?ince of Antievia, which the Rebel Government
abandoned.
46 These fortunate events were the result of the
march of five columns, extending from Barmas to
the Atrato, and which advancing at the same time,
penetrated every gunner of the Viceroyalty, formed
their junctions at the allotted points, secured ti
country in their rear, and marched through deserts
and uncultivated wastes which are seldom passed, are
destitute of habitations, and were then inundated by
unceasing rains. These marches, prudently and for-
ma:eV directed, and the attacks with which all parts
cf the territory were menaced, insulated the different
rovinces, and divided the forces of the enemy, who
vas defeated before he was aware of our plan of
cperatioas. The fifth column, which is that of the
Atrato, ought to be already, according to the ac-
ccunts from Celeetel Warleta, united in the little
province of Choco, which the Coionel will attack in
'be caie of resistance.
44 The remains of the enemy now possess only the i
Llancs and Fopayan. The winter inundations in the
former do not permit any movement to the provinces
• from Venezuela, for the purpose of reinforcing the'
rebels of the plains, and they are about to be attacked
by Colonel la Torre, who will drive them back on the
inundations, and either destroy them or compel them
to surrender. Besides many or the inhabitantsof the
plains of St.lVlartin, as mvil as those of Casanere, wish
for the arrival of the troops. Colonel Warleta will
march upon Popayan as soon as the ccennm cf the,
Atrato and the forces of the /via•7,daler.4 shall bO
united, which are already in motion, .proceeding in '1
the direction of Cotago by the Novitas, as are also,
some detachments from the regiment of Numancia ;
end it follows of course that the army of Quito will
• operate in conjunction with those'troops.
aa From this statement, I think your Excellency
may consider chat this Vice Royalty is already paci-
fied, and that the door is shut against the insurgents
of the plains of Casanere, who hive now no point of
support nor line of retreat.
" I may now, most excellent Sir, be permitted to
observe, that the expedition which the King entrusted
to my command has, within the period of one year
from my arrival in America, fulfilled all that his
Majesty was pleased to anticipate in the private in-
suuctions addressed to me, though the force of the
expedition was very small, compared with the opera-
tions which were undertaken, and which have,
through DIVINS assistance alone, been fully accom-
plished.
" I should wish all this to be laid before his Ma.
jesty, as affording fresh proofs of what may be ex-
pected from his Expedition-Army in America : love
for the royal person of his Majesty prompted every
individual of the army to surpass himself in the per.
fofmance of his duties. Thus neither hunger, nor
the desartse nor roads which nature seemed to have
rendered impra:ticable, were capable of impeding
their progress.
" I must also recommend to your Excellency to
snake known to his Majesty, the merit acquired in
this glorious campaign by the Mariscal de Campo
Don l'ascual Eurile, my second in command, and
Chief of the Staff of the Army, whose indefatigable
and efficacious efforts have contributed greatly to
this happy result. It will afford me much satisfac-
tion if his Majesty shall reward this meritorious Ge-
neral, who on this occasion, as well es at the taking
of Carthagena, performed interesting services, as
stated in my prevwds dispatches.
•' Your Excellency, however, well knows what is
due to such able chiefs and valiant troops, who have
foccessfully executed all my-plans, without having
hitherto sustained the slightest reverse, and for which
I recommend them to such favours as his Majesty
may be pleased tit dispense.—Lieutenant Don Manuel
Ramos is the bearer of these dispatches. I cannot
but recommend him, as he bas on all occasions dis-
tinguished himself in the army, in which be received
two guashot wounds; notwithstanding these wounds
gemmed open at the beginning of the campaign, he
would not separate from his company, and served in
the battle of Cachiri."
The favourable change of the weather which has]
been experienced in the last fortnight, has enabled the
farmer to get in his harvest, and diffused happiness
and joy through the bosom of every lover of his coun-
try. This has been made particularly manifest at
the Lottety Offices, where the demand for Tickets
and Shares has been considerably increased. Indeed,
the Golden Harvest which is yet to be reaped on
Saturday *text, forms one of the most splendid attrac-
tions ever known in the Annals of Lotteries—One
Grand Prize of £40,000, Two of er30,000, Two of
atom°, Seven of £l,OOO, are yet to be distributed
to the Paielici although One Third of the Tickets has
been drawn. •
