PORT SPAIN, TRINIDAD, .TULt 2.

I ',fete you by the Melpomene Ciptain Redman, and T
now enclose you an important Bulletin of General Marino, who
has struck a great blew—to it I refer.
General Bolivar has foil wed up General Santander's rz.
eels, by cnering New Granada on the one aide, while Santander
purrucr his victory on the other, and before Morillo can incom-
n ode him on any of his positions in Venezuela, I expect that
*tich country will he in his hands.

Bolivar's troops left behind may advance upon Morino it the
hilly country, or penetrate into New Granada, but Morillo can-
, not enter the plains in tkis wet season, as they arc overflewed,
and no shelter to be had; but General Bolivar 's communications
are open by the Orinoco, Apure, and Meta, at all times from
Angostura to Santa Fe.
