America, the pure milk (which was in.
stilled in my mind, by the famed institu-
items Of his happy country, cannot bnt
sympatbize in the,noble cause OF people,
who have been enslaved for three centu-
ries-a people who have wallowed in the
mire OF tyranny and superstition.
When contemplate the unhappy tate OF
the unfortunate independents OF the south,
it chilis the very current of my blood
Their struggles have been long, constant,
and almost fatal. Their wars have been
the wars of cannihals. The character OF
the chiefs Of the royal power, who acted
their brutal parts upon the theatre OF the
south, are Of the mos gloomy complexion.
The misery suffered by the poor emigrants
in this colony is unimaginable However,
things 60 on most gloriously with the indie
pendents at present. The generous aid OF
the English, has given this party national
character. This campaign | think will
determine the fate of the royalists. Defeat
and disgrace begin already to attend their
impious arms.
had the pleasure Of being introduced to
Mr.. B. Irvine, the American agent to Au-
gustura, who, on his way home, passed
some time with US. and obtained consl-
derable fund of knowledge, with respect
to the history of this island. He was very
well received, and much attention paid
him, not by government, for you must
know our government detest the Yankees,
as they style all the people of the United
States) but by the liberal men, who are
not engaged in government affairs on ac'
count of their distinguished liberaIity. He
will undoubtedly transmit to the president
a very favorable account OF the newly es-
tablished government OF Venezuela. He
resided there about eight months, AMI is a
great observer of mea and things.
There has been several skirmishes he.
tween the vanguard Of the two armies, who
are at present near San Fernando, on the
Apure. The Apure is branch of the O.
ronoco. The armies are reported 10 be
equal in number, about 5000 strong.
The independents have about $500 Eng
lish and German troops with them, under
very able officers. They are well cloathed
and in high spirits. The greatest diSci-
pline and order reign among tho troops
Gen. Paez's cavalry is $500 strong, and
extremely well disciplined He is 6ne
officer, and may be well styled the Leon
Of the patriots. We daily expect to re-
ceive information from that quarter. The
congress is at present in session at Angus
tura. The governments well established,
and some very able men are at the head Of
departments.
Guiria, Mathurin, and Cumanaco, are in
possession Of the independents.
Margaritia is still faithful, free, and in
dependent.
An expedition is planning against Cuma-
ma. The fall of Guiana will put BARGE
Iona and the whole sea coast, as far as La
guira, in possession of the patriots. Their
success is certain.
The royal cause cannot be sustained but
few months longer.

LETTER II.
My Dear Sir,
This Letter commences with my arrival
at New Orleans, where remained about
two months, an idle though not disinte.
rested spectator of every thing that was
passing around me in that most singular and
most important city. shall now give you
a particular description Of ii, because /
think it will doubtless afford you some lit
tie amusement. Ii was founded and laid
out in the year l7l7, and named after the
then Regent of France, New-orleans.-
You will probably recollect that the coun-
try Of Louisiana, was then under the govern
menf of France and afterwards ceded TO
the king of Spain, during the reign OF LOUIS
the XIV. ~
The city of New-Orleans, as you will
see by the map. is on the left bank OF the
Mississippi River, about 100 miles from
the sea. The situation Of it is very 10" and
unpleasant. By the last census, taken i"
1910. it contained l7,242 inhabitants, but
it may be presumed now TO contain about
80 900, who are mostly French. Since
the purchase Of Louisiana by the American
Government, the Spanish part OF ITS popu-
lation has been gradually diminishing, ma
ny of whom have gone to the Island OF Gu
ba, and other places under the Jurisdiction
Of the Spanish Government, unwilling, ]
suppose to breathe the pure air OF American
Liberty, SO that but few now remain while
the American part gifts population has been
rapidly increasing. The city is very well
laid out, though the streets are not paved.
and are otherwise narrow and dirty, and
the houses very poor-the greater part Of
them but one story high and plastered on
the outside, presenting at once gloomy,
unpleasant appearance, compared with the
grandeur and magni6cence OF our northern
cities. You who hare often wandered de-
lightiully through the streets OF Boston,
New-York, and Philadelphia, admIrlng
their beauty and regularity, would be most
wre.chedIy disguised with the appearance

TORNADO.
We have seldom experienced heavier
gust, than one which came up on Wednes-
day, about 8 o'clock, P. NJ. from the South
ward. LIN this place some triaing damage
was sustained by the violence of the wind,
which blew down several trees, window
shutters and pailings. Our neghbors in
Hampton, by the following letter, from q
respectable source, appear TO have been
more roughly treated
"Tbe parallel Of yesterdays Tornado Is
not within the recollection OF the Oldest OF
our inhabitants. was the violence Of
the wind, accompanied with hail Of un-
common size that neither houses nor trees
could resist its fury. The windows Tiny
houses were blown in, a chimney blown
of-Jenes's house unrooied, and chm.
ney prostrated-two large trees from the
yard of E. Smith blown into the street, and
to cap the climax, pilot boat built vessel,
from Smithheld, at anchor near our wharf,
upset. The destruction OF window glass
is incalcuIable. We had serious apPre-
tensions for the steamboat Sea-}lorse {;
she, however, although in the roads, sus-
tanned no injury, but was compelled to an
