" We have been (avowed with a variety of interest-
ing documents from Angustura. The Libertador, it
appears, has been declared Supreme Chief of Guayana,

vernment. The urgent necessity for reanimating public
confidence, restoring the stability ot- that country, and
ensuring future prosperity, seem to have powerfully
operated with the wishes of the people, in selecting the
Libertador as the only person capable and willing to
undertake a task; by no means free froos.great diL
cubits, labour, and devotion, aad requiring all the
energy of great patriotism.

We disembarked on the Est shore of a delicious
AeStistxy. of which I cannot give you a more exact idea
than by comparing it to the islands of the Southern Pa.
cific Ocean. We are encamped under citron and ponies
granate trees and laurel roses ; near us run a number
of little brooks; and not far from us a river which is
said to be great in winter, but is now only like a nar-
row thread of water in its almost dry bed, whose unequal
extent seems to indicate frequent overflowinp. We are
two leagues from Coron, a little place fortified by the
Venetians, which we passed close to in entering the gulf
which bears the same name. The Turks, to the num-
ber of seven or eight hundred, saw our fleet of seventy
sail pass without any visible emotion—crouched down,
according to their custom, they stupidly regarded our•
progress, and apparently touched by an inevitable des•
tiny, which neither permitted them to submit nor to :es
sist in an efficacious manner. Every thing then led us
I to believe.that in a few days we should have to batter
with our cannon this paltry town.
It is said that Modon and Navarin will be immediately
delivered up to us by the Egyptians, whose embarks.
tion has already commenced at Navarin. At present
we pass our time pleasantly enough, in a position which
we took three days ago; we have neither tables, nor.
chairs, nor beds—but, besides these things, we want
nothing else. The disttibutions of provisions are made
regularly ; the Gulf abounds in good fish, and the
Icountly furnishes us with excellent fruits, which the,
Greek peasants sell to us. These poor people, armed
to the teeth, bring us vegetables. &c. cultivated in their
gardens; they sell them tons at a dear rate, but they
treat us as friends; for Ibrabim and his Arabs, ever
since they have been blockaded by the Allied Powers,
have given fair words, and promised large sums for like
produce, but without success, as no Greek would take
any thing to them. The attempts of Ibrahim, after fuur
years' residence, to obtain an appearance of submission
on the part of the Greeks, have all been in vain ; the spirit
of liberty has been so effectually awakened among them,-
that he has not been able to procure the confidence even
of those peasants who live, as it were, under the cannon
of the three places which he occupied. It, in this re-
mote corner of Greece—the place of his disembarkation,
and where all his forces are concentrated—they thus
brave his power, even at the cannon's mouth, what

The Greeks of this district are considered to be less
civi4.lei than in any other portion of the Morel, and to
be roubets by profession ; on our parts, however, we
have much reason to commend them; it is true, that it
would be rather surprising if it was otherwise; we must
.emensber that true barbarians never reason, and that

marebed into Spain, stripped and murdered our scat-
tered soldiers. We have already made several mar-

in ruins; there seemed not a single habitable koom fit
for a man at all habituated to comlort ; however, the,
greatest part of the surviving population of the place
have returned, and every thing indicates that the town
will be soon re-established. The people appear active
and isaiustrious; we found the inhabitants extremely

litely; we procured a goof dinner at a puMir-house,

only found one inconvenience, namely, that, according
to them, the Greeks use too much seasoning in their

PERPIGNAN, SEPT. 20.

Tall FOLLOWING IX AN RITRACT FROM A LITIIR.
".The great increase in the number of robberies on
the public roads in this department, for some days, has
been a just subject of alarm, especially in the environs
of Perpignan. The robbers were sought alter, but
were not discovered—an impenetrable veil seemed to
envelope them. It appears, however, that measures
were taken to seize them all at the same time. Tyra'
Authorities knew their manoeuvres and their object;
they were informed that a number of Spaniards, who
were concetned in the last insurrection in Catalonia.
and known under the name of agraviados, had em
named from the interior of the kingdom, and sought
eia organize 'themselves in those places where they wee*
sekeived with` hospitality, and to provide the means
di
scarrying into their country civil war and all its
eries. Vagabonds, liberated convicts, and men who,
bad escaped from the pursuits of justice; were associated
in this criminal enterprise. It was while they were wait.
kg for the moment of its execution, and for the purpose
it procuring the means of subsistence; that the greater
part of them gave themselves up to marauding about
the country, and committing robberies. It was
.lustaten that at a riven signal they would all disap-
pear—in fact, the night 4 the 12th instant was the
time appointed for their dep.., tore. They , all had
eutembied on the height. above the gardens of St. James;
arms and ammunition had been distribtited to them by
'some old officers (Mimitados), formerly in the Span
service. They were divided into two bands, and ware,
on their march for the frontier of the arrondissement of
Ceret ; but they had uot proc'eeded far on their route
when they ascertained that their intentions had been
discovered, .and that they would •be prevented from
carrying them into effect. The gendarmerie arrested two
stragglers with muskets and cartridges. All the passages
to the frontier was guarded; thete rem sioed no other
resource then than to fly into the woods; this they
were prevented from doing by the inhabitants of the
surrounding parishes, with their Mayors, 'Mining to
oppose them. M. Toy Dermas, an old Oacer of the,
Infantry-, and Member of the Legion or Honour,
directed the match of a great number oflthe inha-
bitants of the town of Octet. The Custom-house
Officers also acted in all points with the greatest
zeal. The Gendarmerie, under the orders of M.
Laurent, Lieutenant of the Arrondissement, exerted
himself greatly in the performance of this service.—
informed beforehand by the Baron Ronnie, the Pro-
Am of the Department, M. de St. Melo, the Under
Plefect of the Arrondissement of Ceret, directed the
execution of the orders of that Magistrate himself. From
these combinations, which were so formed that they
could hardly help being attended aids success, there
retched, a few hours afterwards, a total dispersion of
these bands, which were known each to contain from 20
to 15 men, composed partly of Frenchmen and partly of
Spaniard,. The greater portion of them were men with.
oat character, sod unptovided with the means of sub-
