Prompt at the moment, therefore, he gave

with lance in rest, rushed directly on the
Spanish line. Opening their passage to
the rear, they wheeled about, aud pene-
trated again to the front, with prodigious
slaughter.-The enemy's ranks were
thrown into confusion and dismay, by
several and terrible repetiions OF those
daring charges; and 500 of their number
were either killed or wounded. Paez

Colonel English has arrived at Marga-
rita, as the public are already informed.
Colonel Ursla has reached the same des-
tination. When English anchored off
Port-Spain, he received special permis-

port was not penned in a very friendly
mood, as it reflected on Mr.. English for
proceeding towards the neighboring prov
inces in revolt, contrary to his Majesty's
proclamation Of Nov. 1917. He landed;
but finding that Gov. Woodford was ARM
ing and manning the steamboat, to send
her alongside of his squadron, in order TO
entice his soldiers to desert, he hurried
back, with an emphatic threat, confirmed
la militaire by an oath or two, that If
she came alongside he would instantly
sink her. Sir Ralph Woodford then
abandoned his expedition, and Mr.. Eng
fish pursued his voyage to Margarita.
A Persian Colonel had touched at Trim
idad, on his way to Bolivar's camp. He
is instructed to tender him the services Of
1000 Prussian troops, on condition that he
would allow the merchants of Hamburg,
&c. to export with them, as great guam

free.
The British sloop Of war Fly, reports,
that 1000 Tyrolese troops had also reach

expedition, which was nearly ready for

5000 native troops. They are well e.

walton. We ought to have mentioned in
its proper place, that in the defeat Of Gen.
Laterre's division by the Patriots, an in-
teresting correspondence with Morillo,
was taken by the victors. From this it
appears, that an expedition from Lima
menaced New Grenada. One account
states, that an invading army had actu-
ally entered it, and that the Spaniards
were flying in all directions.
More produce than usual had arrived
at Angostura from the interior.

Ii is probable, that within few MONTHS
the royal forces will be expelled from
Venezuela. But, we desist from specu-

P. S. The government OF Venezuela
appeared inclined to encourage Inc lm-
