FURTHER BY THE CONGRESS.
We learn, from unquestionable authori-
t., that Cumana and Barcelona were close
ly invested by the Patriots, when the Con.
gress sailed-the Royalists not daring to
show themselves without their fortresses
and that no battle had recently been fought
between them. The report therefore, via
St. Thomas, given in our paperof Wednes-
day, that the Patriot army under Gene
raj Bermudez had been defeated by he
Roydlists al Cunana," is entirely without
foundation.
-Four Regiments Of British troops, with
e5 pieces Of cannon and 700 stand of arms
had recently arrived at Margaritta as an
auxiliary to the Patriot army, and had been
sent to the Oronoke. These regiments
were all commanded by British officers

An imperious duty requires histo-

tiyetomen who have acted conspicuous

task to prove, that in at least onc i'm
portabt instance, history has been
outraged, pablo opinion misled, and

Pontius Plate is handed to us by
the present christian church, az a
murderer of the darkest cast. He
is thrown into a christian era, the
assassin of al that was dear to ha-
manity, and all that was Divine in
the sight of Omnipotence. His name
is the subject of epithet-his memory
is cherished only to yilify and make
il more offensive and odious, and
even christian charity with all its be-
nigu Offices cannot find one redeeming
quality in the character of PLATE.
The christian ministers, in comn,end-
ing the mercy, goodness, PROJECTIONS,
suffcrings and death Of the Heavenly
Jesus, seldom fail to shower denunci-
atoms upon the already dctested Pr

There are numerous contradictory spe.

on the existing affairs Of Spain, with the

contrary, that the Spaniss Minister is au.
