ildQ Ia Ken on OOaru Ifl'3 papi''o,
demand restoration of the slooP, but AFTER
q long correspondence with the govern
n1ent on the subject, he was Obliged TO
leave the port without being able to attain
the object Of his request. the spanish au-
thorities having refused to deliver up inc
Atalanta.
The American brig Altoona, Bright,
master, arrived here on Sunday last, from
st. Thomas, having carried away her
foremost, close to the boards, in squall
which she experienced two days after
leaving that island.
A passenger who landed yesterday from
a launch from the Main, reports that 6oO
men, under the command OF Lieutenant
colonel Parera, had sailed afew days ago
from Puerto Cabello, and were landed at
place called VAGUE, lying to windward
of LIE Velle, where thay were joined by
200 other troops, who, it IS stated, were
to make an Immediate descent upon
Coro.
In the hurry in which we were obliged
to collect the news from the Main, pub
lished in our last, we mentioned by mis-
take. that his Majesty's brig Mercury,
capt. De Quartet, had 6 ven convoy, along
with the Spanish frigate Legera, to the
fleet from Laguira to Puerto Cabello, and
we now hasten to rectity the error: we
should have stated that the Mercury took
under her protection only such Dutch
vessels as were in the feet proceeding
from Laguira to Puerto Cabello.

10, June 90.
In regard to the situation ofthis place,
there has been no material change since
last had the pleasure OF addressing you
(27th.) We are crowded with officers &
men, and every body is at loss to ac-
count for the inactivity that prevails
Four thousand men might be got togeth
er here alone, but nothing is done. Yes
terday evening, the commandant, with the
garrison from La Guyra arrived, having
abandoned the place in consequence of
the intelligence having been received of
the dispersion of Gen. La Torres army.
Caracas is entirely open, and it appears
that Bolivar had marched on with 5000
men, after the action, and that he was
expected to enter the capital yesterday"
