dauntlcsSncss, and checked your valour In
the last campaign. Yet, what advantage
have you derived withal, except that ofprov-
ing TO the world that you are lovers of peace,
at the dear name whereof you have laid
down your arms Our enemy, shrinking
from the basis of our negotiations, propose
10 us again another armstcc and the consti-
tuition, when the government and the general
| voice of Columbia cry out for independence.
This alone, soldiers, can save us, and it is
for this only that we must fight. A cause
less just than ours mn ht sting the feelings of
humanity at the opening of the next cam
| paign, but when, by means Of respite and
alluring hopes, our foe intends to crush us,
humanity does point out the way to arms, to
| preserve us from destruction.
!Soldiers!lThe moment is arrived, be
ready to achieve mighty deeds, and to bless
Columbia with happy day. Ensure your
independence by means of arms, since you
cannot III any other manner; and let the
world be witness of your exploits, as it has
| been struck with your sacrifices, and the
lavishinS your blood.
Soldiers ITO remind you ofyour herosm
and discipline would be knowing YOU but lit
] tie; you belong to the guard of the Libe-
| rator this title alone must i,nperiously
conduct you 10 the path of victory or death.

LATEST FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
| new York, June AFTER the close of
otr paper of yesterday, we received letter
from our correspondent at Curacao, dated
esd May, 1891" being four DAYS later than
the intelligence contained in the Curacao
| Courant 1t appclrs that, up to that date,
Puerto Cabello held out, though its fall was
soon expected Certain accounts had been
received from the Spanish Maine, that Mo-
rales, the Spanish general, had fallen back up
| on Valencia, with the view of covering his
| retreat TO Puerto Cabcllo, where even, the
| rOyaliSts themselves believe he will not be
able to resist the powerful force of the pat
riots. With the fall Of this, observes our
| correspondent, the whole province will, for
| the trsi tiqie during the war, be under the
entire control OF the Patriots, and little
must their skin and their policy avail, if they
| DO not retain it for ever.
The emigration from the Milne TO Cura =
| Goa during one week, had been upwards of
500 ofboth sexes. Theyrepresent tie pat
riots as having fallen upoa them by surprizc,
IN detached dl'sionsuader different leaders ;
and that great majority Of the inhabitants
ofCuracoa, and other places, had joined the
standard OF the independents, and openly re-
nounced their allegiance to the Spanish mo-
| narchy.
Our correspondent states, that business.
was dull at Curacoa but this was 10 be ex-
| pected from the confusion which must pre-
vail on the continent. Trade will most Ger
tainly revive on final supervision of hostili-
| ties, and we have no doubt that, it will be car
ried OH more adyantageou5ly with the patri-
| OTIS than IT was with the rOyalists. Even now,
whatever may be said TO the contrary, we
are persuaded, that flour and other arti-
clcs ofthe first necessity, would find ready
market in that quarter. A state of war is
never favorable 10 the production of these
articles, but It's always extremely so TO the
neutral engaged in supplying the beliger-
! ents. NAT. .4dr.
