Extract of a letter front Curacoa, dated Janu-
ary 1.1.--
" Accounts have been received that the Spanish fleet,
consisting of nine vessels of war, hail gone into Puerto
in order to avoid an encounter with the Inde-
pendent squadron under Brion ; and Soublette had left
autheient force at Cucuta and proceeded to tlifayana
Pars w•as harassing Morillo's troops at San Carlos, and
the Independents were conquering in every direction.
A Brazil packet arrived yesterday, with dates to
the 12th January. The following are extracts front
letters received by homes in the City :
Rio J A JAY. 11.—We leave at last received ad-
vices of the result of l.or►l l'oclirane's attack on the
Spanish ships at Callan, for which lie hail prepared all
h►s ships, besides a fire-ship, ■nd one throwing Con-
gress. rockets. According to the Chill Gazette of the
17tth Noveniher, Lord l'orlirane made his attack on the
Ist lh•tober, and was repulsed. On the 3d he renewed
the attack, and experienced the same treatment, losing
his fire-ship and the rocket-ship, his other vessels also
receiving considerable damage. As the news collies
from the Chili people themselves, and this is acknow-
ledged in their own liaxette, the truth a •t he doubted ;
but it is thou vht they have not told all. The San Elno

A rican expedition, consisting of the United
States' ship Cyan.% and the ship Elizabeth, sailed from
this port yesterday afternoon. 'llse Elizabeth, chartered
by tiovernment, proceeds to the western roast of Africa,
fur the purpow• of carrying into effect the Act of i"l9,
sfreeably to the views 4t. use President, as expressed in
his late Message on that subject. She carries out the
United States' agents and artizans, mechanics and la-
bourers fur the purpose of negociating with the local
authorities of the country, for permission to land and
pro ride
.lbr rem/Oared or liberated Africans; and to
build I set and cultivate land for their use. About
fifty saults, people of colour, go out as mechanics and
Lawrers, provoled with ntettsi!.., tools, implements, anti
1 stores. Those whose services are valuable on account
I of their trades. and who ronll not be prevailed on other-
H si,* to fib. are permitted to take their families with
them. This expedition, we are informed, has no direct
or neeessnry connection with colonization. The Cults-
nizetion Society, it is understood, will soon send a ves-
sel out from the south with colonists. 'rite l•nited States
takes no part in the affair ..f colonizat' . But if its

COURT OF CHANCERY.—(TIcs DAY.)

MINIM .4:40 (MIMI EXECLTORS L. ADAMPPOrI.
An injunction Lad been granted in this cause, re.
straining the Bank from paying the dividends of,
the defendants from trausterring the sum of, 10,teeli. ix
the 3 per Cents Bank Consolidated Annuities. A motion
was made to dissolve this injunction, and the Letu
CHAN.CEL.I.OR now proceeded to give juA
guient.
The circumstances of the case, he observed, were
these:—The testator, whose property had given ri• e
to this dispute, was a clergyman, who had resided ,:s
the country, and some time before his death had given a
*arrant of attorney to the defendant, anthorising bolo
receive the interest of 10,0110/. 3 pr Cent. Bank Cowell.
dated Annuities. This for souse time had been regularly
attended to, and his Lordship remarked, that lie believed
the whole transaction would be funud fair and liononr-
able ofi the part of the defendant.
Some time afterwards a second warrant of attorney
was sent down by the testator to the defendant, aulio-
rising him to sell and Mueslir the stock in ques::on.
Now ua dne could contend that a warrant of attor::ef
thins expressed was not, prima facie, sufficient authority
for the defendant to transfer the stock into his own
name. The plaintiffs, who are the executors of the tes-
tator, urge that at the time the power of attorney was
given, the testator was of a weak and infirm 'flint!.
This, however, his Lordship had no reason to believe ta
he the case; and certainly, in continuing the injunctiol
against the defendant, he did not proceed upon such be-
lief. The defendant states that the intention of the war-
rants of attorney given him, was to secure the interest
to the testator during his life, and afterwards to secure
both principal and interest to the defendant himself. As
the testator had left his real property to the defendant,
his Lordship thdugfit it probable that the defendant's
statement in this case might be correct. Still, however,
the injunction must not be dissolved in the first place,
because there appeared no trust in the warrant of attor•
Dry by which the interest of the stock was secured tti
the testator; and secondly, because it was necessary
that the evidence of the testator's intention respecti!t4.
this property shduld be first brought forward.
