On the morning of the 30th the garrison of the
town made a vigorous sortie on the lines occupied by
General Bermudez, and both parties were engaged
in the most obstinate manner. Fur more than five

" Our communications with Rio Negro are quite
free, since the Commandant Ilypotito Cuevas was or-
dered by Gen. Pees to liberate the villages on the Up-
per Orinocaand unite them to the Republic. Ilis first
nhject on entering the country was to write to the Com.
mandatit of the Portuguese frotnier, assuring him
that his intentions were friendly anti pacific. The
answer from this Chief nos most satisfactory, since

the most immutable neutrality.' The Commandant
Cuevas retuned with his troops to Apure, leaving
the Government of the country in the hands of one ut
its own inhabitants, Joseph Izquierdo, aho is gene•
rally esteemed for Ha probity and honour, and
the mildness of his character. Among those people the
greatest tranquillity prevails, and various tribes of
Kill Indians from the interior 'have entered into
communication with them, and carry on a small
tunic, which, without doubt, will be considerably
increased, when they receive the Earop•an merchau-
dize carried from Angostura by some individuals from
114) Negro, in return for various valuable produc-
tions, which base stimulated the merchants of this
cavils!. It is truly deplorable, that the want of pro.
per vessels calculated for this navigation, will toot for
the present allow us to give the necessary impulse to
the relations of commerce with a country ohich offers
so many natural productions, and from which great
advantage might he derived to European art. and in-
dustry, to the mutual benefit of both Continents.—
Then we should soon SPO the great benefits of which
the world has been deprived through the egotist in.
dolence of the Spaniards, their, criminal monopoly,
and the barbarous plohibitive, system, which was
carried to such an extreme, that the Indians of one
mission were not allowed to communicate with those
of another, although they were both governed by the
same Monks ; and America iro to be entailed to that
slothful nation, because, forsooth, they do not chose
to work, but retail the labours of other people! But
no, this fault does not rest with the station, which
deserves a better fate ; but with their Government,
who, from proscribing, strangling, or burning alive
all those who dared to think, has succeeded in de.
pricing them of their intellectual faculties and of all
vital action, compelling them to follow Ole istpulse

also published, in, this capital of Mexico, that the

and that we meg:consequently in a state of tranquil-

others, without being able to go out of the gates,
because the Insurgents occupy all the neighbourhood

" Port Spain, July 9. 1818.
66 MT DEAR Sta,—l inclose you aatbenticdocu
ments to show you the result of the campaign in
Venezuela, viz. the possession of the important post
of San Fernando, with the peaceable occupation of
the rich Province of &Whips, and all the Llatros of
Caraccas. I sent you before the particulars of the
action at Guayabal, where the whole of the Spanish
force, consisting 4,100 mounted Csrabineers of the
King, were killed ortaken, except lb. Commander
and four men.
" There has been no innovation whatever made in
the Republican Government on the Main. General
Bolivar is iu the peaceable enjoyment of his situation
and honours, as a• Supreme Chief of the Republic,
and Ceptain.General of the Armies of Venezuela and
New Grenada, &c. &c. &c.; and in perfect union
with Peitz, Marino, and all the other Generals. In
a word, there is a regular Government established,
and order restored as far as the ludependents occupy
at present.
66 An the Colonies are receiving large supplies of
mules from Guayana, and we have received a consi-
derable number here. There will be soon a fine crop
of tobacco in Guayana and the produce of Barinas ;
so that it may be fairly said, the Independents have
retrieved their resources at the point of the bayonet
and lance, and will open the nest campaign under
very favourables circumstances, as far as relate to
means, military skill, and public opinion.
66 General Pan is General Commandant of the
Danes (plains), and has displayed the greatest mili-
tary talents. Marino and Bermudez remain near
the city of Camara, the former occupies Cariaco,
and the latter Puerto de Medera, three quarters ors
leave from the city. The Spanish vessels are, it is
said, at Puerto Cabello. The Patriots Nonato, Perez,
and Padre, Col. Marino, keep their ground, and are
increasing their means in New Granada.
66 The brig Sarah is safe arrived at Angostura.
66 The Patriot Inteudent Cea (who is an excellent
botanist) has discovered in Guayas the vegetable
scarlet dye, or plant called Chapi, which is likely to
prove a very valuable article of trade. If you refer
to the Viagero Universal, you will see the natural
riches of that country, which are nnw thrown open
to the researches of the enlightened and indestrioes
world. But the most valuable plant is the tree of
rational liberty, which wends and thrives wonder.

How magnanimous, how generous, were Britain to

peatedly have i heetd the Supreme Chief declare cor-
dially, ' Let but Great Britain afford us protection,

form of Government agreeable to her.' It is evident
that the independence of South America will be pro-

whelming abundance.

for, although many rivers are broader, no knosvca
Stream carries down such an immense body of water.
At Angostura, about four hundred mites from the
