Ne:srly all the foreign officers who have Lontritinted
to establish the independence of the new Republic
have been liberally provided for, and hold places of
trust, AS von will perceive by the following list, which
1 am anxious to have published for the satisfaction of
the relative• and friends of the parties:—
George iVoodberry, Colonel and Chief of the Staff
under General Pees; Dr. !Gamed Murphy. surgeon-
general in the said staff; Captain Charles Vi'ilthen. aide
de camp to ditto • Colonel grader, commandant of the
grenadiers of the guard; Lieutenant-Colonel Hagen,
commandant of the battalion of Bojaca ; Major William
Smith of ditto; Dr. Mulleroy, surgeon to thlt battalion
of guards; Colonel William Lyster, aisle de camp to
General Souldette ; Colonel Brooke Young. town-major
of the city of Caraccas •, Major Joseph Deighton, town-
major of La Guttyra ; Major APLanglin. town-major of
Vittoria; Lieutenant-Colonel William Davey. command.
ant of the column of Caraboha ; Lieutenant-Colonel
Edward Brand, commanding the battalion of Caraboba;
Major John Ferrier, commanding the battalion of Cara-
boba ; Dr. and Lieutenant Fry. surgeon-major of ditto;
Lieutenant-Colonel de Reinhold, commandant of the
Tinadores de la Guardia; Major Edward lloyd, of the
battalion of Orinoco; Colonel Francis Hall, chief of the
topographical department ; Dr. Foley, inspectoreaeral
of hospital., and private surgeon to the Liberator;
Lieutenant-Colonel Richards, secretary to the Admi-
ralty; Lieutenant-Colonel Sands, commandant of the
rise battalioe of the guards; ljeut.-Col. O'Comter, chief
of the staff at Panama; Captain O'Leary, aide de camp
to the Liberator.
There are many others, who are with the Presideat at
Quito. The list of Captains and Subalterns would far
exceed the limits of a letter, as they amount to some
hundreds. I will, however, send you another set of
names shortly, so that in the course of a little time the
whole may appear in print.
Nothing could have been more liberal than the cows
duct of the Government, not only with regard to the ap-
Ipointment of our countrymen who have merited its ap-
probation, but in the distribution of lands. There is
scarcely any individual amongst us who is not in pollee-
lion of an estate; as the T y is not sufficiently pro-
tided in the moment to pay the Caracas prize money,
which is very considerable, we are allowed land in lien.
The following is the rate of military pay in the Republic—
vie.
General., 500 doll ,rs, with staff allowances per
month ; Generals of Division, 400 Ditto of Beiffeedet
300 ; Colonels, 200; Lient.-Colonelv, I 50; Majors, 100;
Captains, 70; Lieutenants, 40; Ensign., 30; Surgeons,
50, and allowances; Serjeante, Id; and Privates, 10.—
The whole of the back pay and allowances is to be made
up to the officers and men, who now receive two-thirds
of each with the greatest regularity.
A large portion of Caraccas still presents a heap of
ruins, caused by the earthquake of Idlo, and of which
the events of the war have prevented the removal. The
climate is delightful, the heat io the shade seldom ex-
ceeding from 70 to 76 degrees of Fahreuheit. It is la-
mentable to see what an ascendaney priestcraft has on
the people. Only conceive, that out of a population of
little more than 20010, nearly a fourth should be eccle-
siastics? Lawyers also swarm amongst us; but like
many of their brethren its &mem they are mostly of
the brirftess tribe.

light winds. Sailed the Martha, Sketcblry, for New

Boston papers to the 27th of July 'Mired this

The (Wowing is from a Buffalo paper, July 16:—
We have published the official decision of the Ame-
rican and British Commissioners. made under the 6th
article of the l'reaty of Ghent, by which it will be
seen, that all the Cslands of the Niagara river (except
navy island) have faßen to the United States. Drum-
mond's Island. on Lafie Huron, containing a British
post. has also fallen to as. This post serves as an
exchange for the military works, at Roses point, on the
Lake Cbamplaioe.
