Extract of letter TO the Editor, dated
Port Of spain, (Trinidad,) July 20.
"Since the date Of my last letter nothing
very material has transpired in that quar-
ter, excepting victory gained by the
united forces under General Marino, Sa.
raza and Bermudes, over a body of the
Royalists under General Arana, on the
plains of Cumana. The royalists were
completely routed. The army of General
Morilo, after receiving innumerable de-.
ieats, in skirmishes that happened with
that under Bolivar, have retired as far
back as Calabosa. General Bolivar has
penetrated with part Of his army as far as
Santa Fee, and made junction with Gen.
Santander. The other part Of his army
is left under the command of the undaunt-
ed Paez. The city Of Cumaua is under
blockade by the British forces under the
command Of Col. English aud General
Urdaneta by land, and Admiral Beion's
squadron by sea. IT the siege is persist
ed 10 for few weeks longer, it must in-
evitably fall, however strongly fortified
it may be. The successes Of the hide.
pendents are glorious and important in
this quarter. The establishment of a
good and salutary form of government is
what is requisite at present. But how
can so small number Of men, form, in
the midst of disorder, confusion and trou-

Quarterly ReUiew.-The following is
the concluding paragraph Of long article
10 the Edinburgh Scotsman, on the manner
in which this country is spoken Of by the
Quarterly Reviewers.
"The short career of the United States
has thrown more light on The theory Of
Government, than the experience of cen
turtles. But the truths ii exhibits are gall
and NORWOOD to the hireliDgs OF power.
Without it we might have believed that
rotten Eoroughs are the soundest part of a
Constitution, and that fair and full rep
Fesentation was visionary nonsense. De-
lolme's doctrine might have passed, that il
is only the strong executive OF monar-
chy which can indulge its subjects in great
liberties of speech and conduct, while a
republic is necessarily suspicious and Sc
we're and that in democracy the peo-
pie must become the prey OF quacks, I'M
der whom neither person nor property
could be secure. To the confusion of all
these theorists, however, persons and
property are more secure in the United
States than any where else, if we may
Judge from the rate of which both multi
ply. The interests of the people are
found to thrive wonderfully under their
own care and political quacks find SO lit
tie encouragement there, that they are
almost the only class which never emf
CRATE from this happy country. The
Government, so far from being jealous
and cruel, is the mildest and most liberal
that ever existed in the world. 1t creates
no fictitious plots, nourishes no host OF
spies, no mercenary Reviewers, and has
contrived to get through stormy period
without the legitimate help of the gibbet,
SO indispensable 10 the strong monarchies
Of the old world"

Victory ouer The King Of Morocco.
TANGiERs, July 10.
The King Of Morocco, at the head Of
an army Of $4,000 men, and attended by
his Son, and principal Bashaws, marched,
last month, against numerous tribe Of
rebelious Arabs, for the purpose Of chas-
Using them. On the 2lst, the attack com
menced at | | 10 the morning, aud was kept
up until 10 the afternoon, when the
whole Of the Kings army, himself includ
ed, remained at the mercy of the con-
querors, having lost, between killed and
wounded no fewer than 10000 men. The
Arabs desperately, charged with the bay
onet, having The deep river Morbeg at
their back, TO put it out Of their power to
run away. This spirited determination,
and the skilful maneuvre by which they
cut off the retreat of the Kings army,
were the causes of the victory proving so
decisive.
The Arabs, however, did not make
such an i'll use Of it, as was to be feared,
since, although they completely plumber
ed their prisoners, they spared their lives /;
and Muley Benazar's Sheriffs, under
whose protection the King put himself,
allowed him to come back to his domin-
ions. In the mean while, ten days having
elapsed without the fate Of the King or Of
his son being known, this town was
threatened with an anarchy which excited
the greatest apprehensions. These, how
ever, were at an end, the moment we
heard that the king had arrived at va in
good health, and that his son was OH his
way TO Fee.
