LATEST FROM SOUTH AMERICA
By the Leecd, Woodland, arrived at this
port, Yesterday, FROM Trinidad, we receiv-
ed from very intelligent gentleman, at
that nlace. and who very recently returned
from the theatre of war, the following
reIrs ABSTRACT OF THE LATEST INTELLI-
cENcE FROM VENEZUELA.
Port-Spain, March Is, 1919.
Late dispatches received at Angostura.
rom Gen. Paez, dated the 10th ult. an
nourced the retreat of the Spanish army o.
YER the Arauca. .Morillo, after an ineffec-
tual attempt to Paez to general action,
was rapidly retracing his steps towards the
Apune. His Objects to regain the cultiva-
ted country, finding it impossible to draw
supplies from the plains, in which he was
harrasaed continually by $500 cavalry
The detachments he had sent out in quest
of subsistence had been uniformly cut off
by Paez's cavalry, and from the time OF
crossing he Arauca till that OF his re-cross-
isg it, and marching as far as Conception,
.uori.lo had lost loo men, and heldpiece,,
lie had circulated Gin writing) boastfu'
nroclamation to Vaneros, OF Inhabitants OF
the claims, dated the 5th, to which Paez
mad re piled by keenly satirical address
ibv way of comment) on the 18th febru-
AIRY. =.
The artillery and infantry, leooo) lett
mn The Island before Urbana, in the Orono-
co. were proceeding by forced marches 10
r.uuite themselves with Paez. They VIII
be reinforced by 4eo English and Irish SOL
diers, it having been Bolivar's intention 10
await there the arrival Of Coco English CAL
" expected, SC. General Bolivar set out
from Apgostura on the eth ult. on his re-
turn 10 the army.
Col. Hursler's regiment and the remain.
der OF Col. English, expedition are looked
tor daily. They will probably be assoc'a-
ted with the Goo landed at .Margarlta'
whittier Generals Urdometa, and valdez
Col. .Nesdhaa tine adjutant general OF that
division have gone with about 10 Engi'sh
sailors, who will assist in manning guu-
bo,,s. or other vessels. Associated with
500 Margaritanians, SC. they VIII make
decent upon the coast at --, and torn
a junction with the division collected I'D
the provinces of Barcelona and Cumana, to
he commanded by Gen. Marinos--Sarazas' {,
NIonagas', and perhaps Bermendez' forces
vii! constitute this army. .Monagas was at
the uoint OF death from 1t attack OF fever.
News of decisive operations may be looked
for from day to day. Should these forces
no. complete the object OF independence,
though the supposition is Improbable, the
troops TO arrive from England will unques-
tionably expel the remnant OF MorIilo's
coros from Venezuela. This will be work
of the greater facility, as hIo.1'io has sui
fered greatly. Paez writes that the prison
.rs t,.ea we're more like skeletons than liY-
ins men. Aud to this, he, Mcrilio, has a
boye l,. miles of plains 10 traverse, expo
sed continually 10 the enemy's calsalry, his
own being annihila:ed, and not an haad OF
cattle in his camp.
The Congress was deliberating on varl-
Gus regulations, and on a fundamental law,
4
or constitution, to be proposed to the people
for their appreciation. This is the SUBJ
stance of the latest news. More important
events will soon challenge more regard
than this hasty epitome.
We also received by the above vessel,
Trinidad papers to the 18th ult. but they
contain nothing of importance.

lst.-oF THE MONOPOLY OF TOBACCO.
The monopoly is to be considered as the
greatest evil OF the political bodies.
Friends of justice and OF liberty, We
shall freely discuss the question, and in
explaining the evil, we will try to find a
remedy.
Are the ministers Of constituted mo-
narchy 10 be manufacturers and dealers IN
wholesale and retail?
Are not the citizens at liberty TO work
and 10 show their land as they think pro-
pei, because the amount ofmonopoly could
nnt be fairly renlaced hy tax. inconpita-
