Capt Snow, i'll the Blazing Star. from Lagni-

arrived at Cumana oil the 18th May, from Ca
diz-and a few days after landing, they were
joined to the forces of Gen. Moriiio, who sat
ont from that place for the coast of Paria with
all the troops, leaving only small garrison in
the town of about Sc men. Onthe 9th June, he
marched with about loo men to the Gulph of
Caraco; the remainderh had embarked on board
of the shipping TO join him at the small town
of Corunna, and after clearing the coast of the
different bands of insurgents, intended TO al
tack the island of Margaretta.
The Patriot General Bolivar had reached st
Fernando de Apura with about 1900 men: and
twas generally supposed he would form iunc
ton with General Piar, near the city of New
Augustura, with view of attacking the place.
which would inevitably fall, as the PRINCIPAL
army of the royalists was completely cnt TO RE
ces by Piar, about the Goth April last The
seat of war is transferred to Oronoco, where
the Patriots had gained several triiiing adyan-
tages.
Gen. Marine, who had besieged Cumana 70 r

the Gulph of Paria but would no doubt leave

AMELIA.I SL.AND TAKEN.

Col POsey, aid-de-camp to Gen. McGregor
arrived in this city late last night by water
from the South, and states that Amelia was ia
ken possession of by the Patriot forces under
Gen. McGregor and Admiral Srion, on the oath
June. There was no fighting, the place having
surrendered on the first broadside After this
the whole fleet, consisting ofone ship, one brig
and nine scho oners, sailed for ST. Augustine
which, though much stronger place. no donbt
will fall like Amelia. The land and naval Pat
riot forces united, are said to consist of 400
men, ard that of Amelia only abont 90 and bat
one field piece. st. Augustine, il is believed
is commanded by Col. PatinSer, a brave and
skillul officer, with but small force.
The possession of the island of Amelia is of
the utmost importance to Gen. McGregor in
his present movements. connected with the ma
val force of AID. Brion: having an excellent
ana capacious harbor, il affordSa port TO which
under present circumstances for the prizes he
may capture. Ifwell fortified its advantage
TO the Patriots is almost ihcalculabIe, and thew
wilno doubt sufficiently estimate its irnpor-
lance to place it in state which will admit of
defence against the attacks of very conside-
rable force.

coast i. lat. 80 81 n. and long 81 20 w. within

CAPTURE OF AMFLIA-ISLAND.
Ofceo the Savannah Republican.

july 6, 1917.
We have accounts from the South, which in
form us, that the Patriots, under the command
OF Gen. Gresor McGregor, took possession OF
Amea-Isand on the 30th OF June They land
ed in the rear of Fernandina, marched through
the marsh, and entered the town without
single gun being fred from the fort. The SOL
ders who were in the fort marched out and
surrendered on the ISt July inst. and the Pat
riot flag was then hoisted, and now waves tri-
umphantIy on Amelia-Island
We also learn, that the Patriots are making
preparations for march to ST Augustine. Tho
the garrison of that place is expected to make
some show of esistance, yet it is confidently be-
lievedthe fortress will be taken without much
loss ofmen or time.
Since the Patriot standard has been planted
on East Florida, hundreds ofrecruts have flock
cd tolt and we learn that mcGregor will soon
have as many men as he may require In few
days we shall be able to give sketch of the
formation of the new system of laws intended
for the government of Florida, and the names
of the new public functionaries. The Patriots
have naval force lying before Amelia.
