FROM THE SPANISH MAIN.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-By the arrival
Yesterday of the brig Cordella, from
Curacao, we have been politely furnished
with file of Curacao papers TO Tie Ilih
of September.
We arm verbally by This arrival, that
the patriots, under Col. English, after
taking Barcelona, had captured Santa Fe,
and had also attacked Cumama, but had
abandoned the latter place, finding they
could make no impression, and had
marched 10 join the main army at An.
g"stmra, under Bolivar. Two transports
nom Ireland had arrived at Juan Gregg,
about HE LIT September. The troops
enlisted bv Gen. Devereux, were also
hourly expected; they had sailed in
company Nlihthe above transports.
The CURACAO Courani of The lIih of
September, mentions that H. 3. NJ. orig
Parl'ilaR had arrived al that port.
On The 26'U of August, the Parihian
anchored a Santa Martha; and on the
2Slh report reached that place, of the
capture of Santa F, by an independent
force, said TO be under the command of
Bolivar ; but The editor states That he Is
rather incilned to believe, tina, if Santa Pc
bad actually fallen, il must have been
taken place by the troops of Sanlander.

ST. THOMAS, nth Sept. 1919.
DEAR SIR-By an arrival on the 9th instant.
in 10 days from Santa Martha, we are inform
ed that Bolivar had succeeded in OrcupyiDo
the whole Of the Kingdom of Sante Re at the
capital Of which lie established his head quar-
tiers on tie 9TH ultImp, after having DESTROYED
or dispersed the whole Of the royal forces,
whose commander, (the late v,ceroy of the tate
Kingdom with the small remnant of his army,
had sought refuge i'm jiorpor. but was follow.
ed by a detachment OF DOlivdTS forces and no
doubt will he driven To tie shores of the Paci-
nc Ocean. Should the independents retain
their position Got which there seems to be lit
tie doubt anil theV have received the rein.
forcrrents now on their way from Angosiura,
we may expect te hear of their descent on and
occupancy of the provinces of Santa Martha
and CaitlidgCna, lin neither of which is there a
force competent TO resist them. Ny informant
adds that at the time Of hi, leaving Santa Mar
tina, many OF the emigrapts from Santa Pc had
reached there this information having been
derived from rOydt source, cannot of course
be doubted.
Nothing from Margareta since last wrote
you. from which circumstance 4 would infer
that either blockade o. an embargo exists AZ
that place, as our commune alton is in general
pretty regular.
In consequence of the many arrivals at Ha.
yaDa laiterly, the price Of FLOUR had fallen
from 30 to 5 l0.--M G n. BOOTS.
