From The Negg- York Shamrock.

We have accounts frorn the Caracas,
which give mosl satisfactory view of the
steps now taking by the people of that de-
lIghful region for establishing their indepen-
dence and liberty on the same principles and
political organization that have rendered the
United States SO powerful and happy. To
these they look for models OF imitation, and
withstanding the general ignorance in
which Spanish jealousy and despotsm held
the colonies heretofore, they nevertheless
contain rren who are well acquainted with the
political institutions Of North America, and
who now labour to establish them in the
south. Well informed Europeans and North
Americans are also arriving daily, in those
parts that have declared for independence.
They bring with them their arts, their SCI
ence and civilization, and are well received.
One gentleman, native of Ireland, but last
from the United States, DR.. Burke, is already
a very distinguished parsonage at the Carac-
10 his enlightened mind and republi-
Con principles are the Inhabitants at the Ca
raccas, in great measure, indebted for frus-
trating scheme OF usurpaion, modelled on
that of Bonaparte. The notorious Miranda
was endeavou.Sng TO erect consular govern
mcnt previous TO the meeting Oi congress
otthc representatives ofthe people but DR..
Burke, recoectin,, the plot of Bonapartc's
consular usurpation, cautioned the publick "a
ganst the plan, and recommended 10 them 10
wait for the meeting of congress. This pro-
ceedlng very much mortified the general, and
DR.. Burke having, in another paper, endeav-
CURED to remove one Of the great moral dis
tcmpers OF the Spaniards, by enforcing the
necessity and justice of religious toleration,
Miranda seized the occasion TO turn against
him the clergy and tie popuace. He first
applied for this purpose TO the bishop bur
he, liberal and enlightened beyond what was
expected, approved OF what Burke had done,
and supported it. The general, still! intent
upon his purpose, found fit agent in monk,
and by his means Caracas Was thrown into z
prodlgious ferment for day or two. But it
Is hononrabie TO the good sense and informa-
ton OF those who were in authority that they
ardently espoused the defence of liberation,
and it does credit to the populace themselves
at they speedily submitted to the justice Of
liberal principles.
Alter this short ebulltior all was quiet and
orderly. The Scotch have already found
their way to that fine country, and arrive
there in considerable numbers, but few or no
iiioh hi'hctto' lCt, thcy WouIu Ptooaoiy oS
best received Of any strangers, in consequence
of the long and intimate intercourse ofthe
Spanish and Irish nations, and of the same
ness of their religion. Sober and industri-
ons mechanicks of every trade meet with
great encouragement. The country is rich
and populous, and the natives unskilled III
the arts, as it was the policy OF Spain that
they should manufacture as little as possible
for themselves.

We have slready IN this town several corps
which would 60 honor 10 any place, ana
among the number, We Cannot, without CO.
ing Injustice TO the cause we advocate, omit
yery honorable mention of the two Infantry
companies. They who know the tune, e1
nense and attention bestowed by such corps,
"a make themselves good dlscIp!Inarians
and soldiers. will not withhold the need OF
prsise 10 which they are SO justly entitled.
Companies of Rifemen are novelty IN
This state, and it must strike every military
man with surprise that it SHOULD oe SO,
when he reflects that they are purely OF
American origin, and owe their rise aha
importance TO our revolution and perhaps
i, is not going too far 10 say, that according
to their numbers, no description OF troops
during the revolutionary war, rendered
themselves more cOnspicuously useful TO
r e.r country, as further and conclusive
evidence OF their great utility, they have
been universally approved and introduced
bv Eurepean nations. The French, the
Russians, Plussians, Austrisns and English,
all Of them place greSt reliance on their
Voitigcurs, Tiraiieurs, sharp shooters, OF
| Riacmen.
The Portland Ride Company, now grow
ing up, with considerable degree OF promise
as to it's future excellence, is the first corps
Of the kind il this state. We here take the
liberty to hint to its officers and members
| that they have mach TO scduIrs to meet the
expe ciattons Of their many friends and the
public. They must be aware, that Ii Is not

attention 10 discipline, and soldier-hke de-
'meanor, - lndiSpensably necessary. With
lGIt these, the cloth would be disgraced,
! and IL would better become the shoulders
I Of 4 clown, than the Sgouia Be soldier. We
are advocates for characteristic dress.
! Let it be neat and elegant, but no. tawdry.
A corps Of this kind ought to become a
military school-a nursery tyr officers. Ey'
cry officer attached to it should know nc
,sghoLs aaty of soldier, and every soldier
should qualify himself for all the duties OF
an ofncer.
The man who views a well discip lined
company as mere spectacle without use
as puppet shew, decked out with gsudy
colors TO tickle the fancy Of babes, Will no
enlist himself with our sentiments. W.
think very differently with regard to the
Utility Of such troops and most hearth,
wish this new military association success
and that it will continue to receive the unre
mited exertions Of all its members, and ths
liberal patronage of the PUBLIC.
