10 send you regular files Of newspapers
fron this place or Caracas, but they are
MOTTO be had Ii wll appear strange TO
YOU that newspapers are not delivered uB-
Ill sometimes a week after their date.
TIE fact is, in this country people are as
yet little anxious to read gaZettes 1t IS
With them quite a new thing.
Wehave 40 news of great importance
here. Areport is IN circulation (and |
fear too lrue) that Morales has got posses
sion Of The town of Maracaioo. The forts
are still in tue bands of the ColUmbians,
who will soon receive strong re niorce-
menIs. Ii Morales has in any manner sue
ceeded, il is very unfortunate, tor II will
proract the war not that he can remain
possessOr OF bis conquest but because he
will murder, burn anG plumber, and there
by obtain resources to continue his depre-
daliOns Such an extent of coast as Co
iombia offers, must be vulnerable IN ma
ny points, and Morales is now reduced to
amarauding war, which, with the assls-
lance OF the irIgate, he may carry on with
some success.
Al Carupano in the department Of fhe
Orlnoco. plot has lately been discover
ed, the Development OF which shews that
tne negroes, aided by some whites, native
ePanards, intending to murder the prin-
cipal inhabitants, plumber the town and
MAKE for the sea-bcard, where they expec>
led to get oil in some vessel, with their
ocoly,and reach one oil the West iadla IS
lands. Through the vigilance OF that ex-
celleni ohcer, Gen, BuImudez, who com-
mands that department, their ahomlnable
p'sn has been frustrated. and | hope The
guilty will be brought TO punishment.
Uea Bermudez immediately repaired Thu.
Their, and has succeeded IN securing all
ne ringe4ders and most of their agents.
Every thing is quiet here and we consl-
Der ourselves quite safe.
The attendant ofthis Department (Ve-
nmezuela) has lately received letter from

else worth copying. except the following
extract, which is made from a letter writ
seo by Gen. Bolivar to his correspondents
