CaARLxsroN, May 30.

. In our Nassau papers. received y.ster-
day, we find some interesting particular,
respecting the new government OF Carrac
cas-. translated from the Caracas Gazette.
1t appears that the revolutionists are al
ready under the gracious protection OF the
British. Notwithstanding the endeavors of
the Spanish Regency to BRING them again
TO suoJection the blockade OF the ports of
caracas being not only disregarded, but
a British naval force being sent to protect
their trade. Thus il appears. that while
the British are protecting" Old Spain. &
wasting their blood and treasure 0 save her
from the tyranny" of France. ostensiois
from the purest motives, she is al The sam
tine supporting the revolutions of New
Spain, and encouraging the separation of
that part of the empire from which the ma
ton might hope to derive the greatest re-
sources tor maintaining the present contest.
II is thus that England "protscts" her ally,
IN order finally to thrive upon her rum.
