FROM MARACAiBo.

BY the arrival of the sloop Sally, Capt.
Williams, from Maracaibo, via Curacao,
we have been furnished with the following
information. Capt. w. left Maracaibo
on the 18th Aug. in co.with three Colon
bian schrs. with troops on board, under
convoy OF kctch, bound TO windward,--
Every thing remained tranquil at that
place, and no apprehension existed Of an
attack from the enemy. They were so.
licitous for the safety ofthe Coast to winds
ward nearly all the troops had been
Withdrawn for the protection of Laguira,
Caracas, and Valencia. Capt. w. arr
rived at Curacao on the Esd ult. On the
Goth, appeared off the harbor of Curacao,
four Spanish transports, and took pi~
lots for the Gull Of Venezuela. These
were reported to be part of the squad
ron of 10 sail intended for descent on
Maracaibo, with 400 troops, under Gen.
MORALES. There remained no doubt a,
Curacao of the amount of troops, nor CT
the object of the movement From the
situation in which Capt w. left Maracai-
DO, he is ofopinion that if an immediate
and resolute attack was made, that i'm,

the Spaniards.
In that event, all the neutral property
there would be converted to their use
without ceremony, under the authority or
"paper blockade," for no other has ex.
listed, as capt. w. has entered that port
four times within the last seven months,
without ever seeinga Spanish Crnizer.
The amount OF Anerii. an property at
Maracaibo would probably not exceed

cipally to merchants in Liverpool, proba-
