SOUTH AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE.

The following abstract of information
veru lately received, verbally and by
letter, from persons of the highest re-
spectability in Angostura and the West
India Islands, is entitled to implicit credit.
1t is furnished for the City of Washing
tou Gazette, solely for the qualification OF
citizens interested in the cause of South
American Independence, more especially
in that of Venezuela.
Two brilliant affairs have lately taken
place between deiachments from the re-
spective armies in the neighborhood Of the
Aranca river, in the province OF Barinas ;
both of which terminated in favor. of the
independents. In the first, Col. Pigott, a
foreign officer of merit, greatly distin
guished himself-having bad two horses
killed under him. Suffice it TO say, that
the royalists were driven from their po-
sition. The latter enterprise is one Of
The most extraordinary recorded 10 the
annals of modern or ancient warfare.
General Paez, commander of the cav
airy composed of the free people of color
and blacks Of the plains, called Lfdneros
had repeatedly solicited permission from
General Bolivar, TO attack the enemy's
camp, with a select baud Of volunteers,
but was as often refused. The attack ap
peared too hazardous and partial, to jus

structed by experience, resolved not to
hazard the reduction of his force by de
tachment.- The Fabian, or Washington
system, in short, was adopted /; and the

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.


BY the fast sailing ship Canton, Capt.
Rogers, the editors of the New ork Ga
zette have received papers, Lloyd's Lists,
and Prices, to the day of her departure
from Liverpool, which was on the 5th uit.
We are happy TO find that Cotton, &c,
was not only in demand, but was a fraction
higher than at our former advices.
1t is also gratifying TO learn, that there
had been no recent failures, aud that COM
mercial confidence was reviving
The King of France, aud the Prince
Regent Of England, had recovered from
their indisposition.
The Duke Of Buccleugh died at Lisbon
about the middle of April.
10 the House Of Commons the Sd, Mr..
Grattan moved for committee, TO consid-
er the state of the laws relating to Roman
Catholics, also the oaths and declarations
required to be taken by them in order to
the enjoyment of civil Offices and the ex-
ercise of civil functions. The motion was
negatived by a majority of only two-24l
for, and 243 against it.
In the House of Lords the ! lth of May,
Lord Lansdown moved for copies of all
communications which had passed between
the English government and the govern
ment of the United States respecting the
conduct of the American force in the
Floridas, and more particularly respect
ing the trial aud execution of two British
subjects by order of The American general
Jackson. Lord Liverpool, in reply, said,
that the cessien of the FIoridas by Spain
was a subject which the English govern
ment had nothing to do with; Spain hav-
ing right to cede any part of her pos
sessions she pleased, without the interior
ence of any foreign government With
respect TO the affair of Arbuthnot and Am
brister, although he censured the conduct
of Gen. Jackson, those persons had no
right to the protection of their govern
ment, if they voluntarily embarked ia war
against any state with which their own
government was at peace. The motion
was negatived without division.

order the next census TO be taken OIL a

4. Females under 10, 81, as and above.
s. What portion Of each sex is mixed.
8. Degree OF mixture TO the fourth de-
