limitations and universal rejoicing conse-
Grated to Providence by solemn hymns and
the reverential Thanksgiving ola religious

From the Vich Diary Extraordinary Of

The most illustricus Board of this Dis
trict has just received the following dis
patch from Brigadier Baron de ErOlcs:
" Last night l entered this town with
25( prisoners. 7 officers. &c. taken by my
division in Castlefollet. Those who are
here refused to capituiate; but l will not
shed single drop of blood, because

San Fernando is in such condition as
to be secure against the most serious at
tempt; all goes on well.
May God preserve 7. e. many years.
