BALTIMORE, APRIL s.
BY gentleman from st. Thomas, we
are favored with the following state Of
affairs ON the Spanish Maine.
1LargQretta, March II.
We learn that affairs are going on
very prosperously in that quarter. On
the 9th OF March, near Cassauga, the
army of Morillo was attacked by gen.
Pics, who completely defeated the roy
alists, with the loss of GOO killed on the
field--no prisoners. Loss of the patriots,
"a killed. Morillo and his army were
SO situated that retreat was impossible /;
and that gen. Bolivar was only waiting
for a division OF $500 English troops,
which were ascending the Orinoco to
join him, when the destruction of Mo-
rillo and his army would be inevitable.
500 English troops had arrived at Juan
Griego, (Margaretta,) and col. English,
with $500 more, was daily expected,
when the expedition fitting out against
Cumana, at Juan Griego, under the
command of gen.O udinette, will be 5000
strong, 5000 English and 5000 natives
assisted by the squadron, consisting of
5 sail, well manned and equipped, un-
der the command of admiral Brion.--
Generals Oudinette and Valdcs, with
col. Needham, and several other officers
of distinction, had arrived at Juan Griego,
from Augustine, to join the expedition.
Admiral Brion had sailed on the l4th,
IN pursuit Of the royal squadron, and on
the 18th chased them into Cumana bay,
when dreadful cannonading took place,
and continued the whole day; the result
of the attack was not known. The In
dependence of Venezuela will be COM
plcted to certainty the ensuing cam
paign. The resources Of the patriots in
men, money and every thing, are great
The patriot brig La Irresistible, Of IA
guns, arrived at Juan Griego on the 10th,
bringing in with her his catholic maies-
TVS late brig Ncreyda, of l8 guns and
l42 men, captured in lat. 9, II S. long.
81 w. after an action of IA minutes
The Nereyda lost 38 killed and %
wounded. The Irresistible suffered much
in spars, rigging and sails, but had none
killed, and only the sailing master slight
ly wounded.
The Nereyda is q very superior vessel
other class, built and launched in France
four months since for the Spanish gov
ernment, mounts l8 twenty -four poun-
ders, tons about $50, and was at the time
of capture on her way from Cadiz to Rio
Janeiro, with dispatches announcing the
death of the Queen of Spain, &c. All
the dispatches fell into the hands of the
patriots; she fought desperately until
the captain fell, being badly wounded.
From the Shaniah Maine.-Captain
lngersol, of the schr. Alert, who arrived
at New-York on Sunday, last from Ha-
yana, left Porto Bello ON the 10th Feb.
at which time all was quiet there. The
last intelligence from Chill stated that
Panama was blockaded by two patriot
briggs and a schooner the Spanish royal
squadron, which had been some time
expected at that place, had not arrived,
but was hourly expected.
