BY the schooner Ys0samond, III Il days
FROM ilagnira. we have received the fol-
loving IN printed i,and-biil:
Articles compreienGed in the declaration
Of tho Legislature Session Of the tst Jn-
ly, 1911 sanctioned and Impressed.
Art. XIV. All strangers OF whatever
ration. will be received in the province OF
Clwaccas.
XXVI. The persons and properties of
strangers, shall enjoy the same security
as Those Of the other citizens. provided
tl,sy acknowledge the sovereignty and in-
dependence, and respect the Catholic re-
ie:on. the only one i'm this country.
XVII. The Strangers who reside in
the province Of Caracas, being natural
lied, aud having the necessary property
shall enjoy all the rights ofcitizens.
OBSERVATION.
The immense quantity Of lands in
the province Of Caracas, the abundance
of pcrDetral streams whic.l iertili8e them;
the diversity oi' productions and their
richness, offer to the Industrious man the
greatest advantages in agriculture. The
geographical situation ola great extent of
coast opposite the Antilles and other
islands, the great consumption OF the
states of Venezuela. consederated with
those OF Cundenamaroa or Santa Fe. open
and facilitate commerce the most adVan-
tageons in the uaiycrss. The peaceabIe
character OF the Inhabitants; the mild
ness OF their behaviour, the regard they
shew for foreigners and lastly the mild
ness of the climate, it being perpetual
spring, invite persons to settle in the pro-
vince Of Caracas, as euitiyators. aru-
sans or merchants. The government. IN
terested in protecting all. will give lands
to any person who may wish to cultivate
them: and will secure in their respective
professions all those who dedicate thea
selves TO commerce, industry and the acts (;
it will alone prosecute and expel the tur-
bulent and the idle, who apply themselves
todisturbiug the tranquility aud peace OF
those who live occupied. The industrious
and peaceable man will enjoy in Nenezne-
la the protection OF government and the
estimation Of the people.

Capt. Elwell, of the brig Exert, Just ar

the 28th OF March, confirms the account
that we received, via Newburyport, of the
complete evacuation of Portugal by the
French. There was no particular account
of the sk!rmishes mentioned in the New
buryport articles, but capt. Elwell states,
that prisoners were arriving daily at Lis
bon, 600 having been bro't in the day before
he sailed. The French laid the country
vase through which they passed on their
retreat.
