VANDALIA, JUNE l.

We know Of no situation better cal
culated 10 sour the disposition, than that
OF Editor oil newspaper III the western
country. The conpiaims of subscri-
oers OF the failure OF receiving our pa
pers, added TO our own disappoln,men,s,
renders this kind OF lille Irkson.e and dis
agreeable. Frequently we put off the
call for " copy" by total suspension OF
business, until the mail arrives but
alas the mail contains nothing that we
have not before received. Tais was
Just our case few weeks since, upon
lhc arrival OF the mail which literally
brought us nothing. We expressed our
surpize a. The time, but could receive no
explanation from the Postmaster. The
riddle, however, has since been discover
ed-,he mail, il seems, Tor tins place, and
west OF us is made up at Vino snnes- 10
save trouble, packages addressed 10 St.
Louis, and west Of that place, are put
IN separate pair OF bags, which tha
Postmaster al Vlncennes well knows are
not opened until they reach ST. Louis.
Now from the stupidity or careiessuess
OF the Postmaster aforesaid, or his clerk,
we know not which, at all times one
halt, and sometimes the whole Of The
mai for this place, EIwardsviile, a ton,
&c. is closely confined in the ST. Louis
mail, and does not breathe fresh air I'M
I'll they arrive at that town II then
makes retrograde movement, and at
ter "perils by land, and peris by wa
'er," finally arrives at its place OF dcsti-
nation.
10 this arrangement we are only in
debled to the Postmaster at Vincennas.
How he can justify such conduct, we
are at a loss to determine. We can
hardly conceive ii possible tina, he is I'M
acquainted with The location of this town;
al all events we hope every school, boy
in Vincennes bias, before this, been laugh,
that The capitol of Illinois IS not situated
on the 7vest side OF the Mississippi. As
this management III his Office is produce
tive OF serious inconvenience to the peo-
pie OF this part ofthe country, we sincere
ly hope he will for the future, be little
more atteDtiye-ior nothing is more vex-
atious than that of receiving an Eastern
mail from St. LOUIS, situated sixty
miles west OF US. Illinois Intel.

The Patriot force at Maracaibo, was

The Patriot force at Maracaibo, was
under the command of Col. Jose de los
Heros, and consisted of the battalion of
1fradOreS de la Guardia, under Lieut..
Col Rembold; the battalion of Carabo-
DO, under Lieut.. Col. Brand; the batta-
lion OF Maracaibo; brigade of artillery
and 200 cavalry.
Dispatches had been sent to Colonel
Panango, who had arrived at Coro, from
Caracas, and when the Sally sailed (2oth
ut. he was momenily expected, with a
force OF 1000 infantry and 500 cavalry,
we'll mounted. He had received sup
plies from Curacao, and intended i'm
mediately to take up the line of march.
His command was composed of the bat
talions OF Bravo de Apure, Boyaca, Oc-
Cidente, Orlnoco, and 400 cavalry from
the guardias of The General in Chief
Antonio Paez.
In addition to the above, the Patriot
force was augmented by detachment OF
500 infantry from Rio de la Hacha--the
van guard Of which arrived al Maracaibo
the day before the Sally sailed.
From the situation OF the place where
General Morales force was concentrate
ed, ii was thought that he would not be
able to effect a retreat.
General Paez was besieging Porto
Cabelo, with respectable force. Ii
was also closely blockaded by sea, SO as
to prevent the importation OF supplies.
The coast Of Coro was also blockaded
by Patriot force, consisting of FIVE
armed vessels, under command of Com
