FROM CARACAS.

FROM CARACAS.
We received yesterday from our polite
and attentive correspondent, papers 4 let
tiers from Caracas to the 9Th Feb.
Private advicss from he Liberator, Bo.
livar, dated at "Paci6cation," 3 days
journey to the southwark of Bogota) the
18th Dec. announce, that, by letters which
he had seen. Quito had been occupied by
the Republican Armies-ofhcial accounts
of which important event he momently ex.
pected.
By the last intelligence, Gen. La Tore
was still in Coro, where small force. I'm.
der the Patriot commander, Gomez, had
capitulated to him, on account of the dis
affection that existed among his troops, all
being ''Corianos, or natives OF Coro, who
are represented to have always been more
enthusiastic Royalists than even the satel-
lites of Ferdinand. On the Goth OF Jan.
Gen. Paez, that distinguished warrior.
marched from Valencia upon st. Carlos
and Barguisimeto, and it is expected, will
soon compel La Tore to abandon bis ma.
rauding expedition. Gen. Marianne Mon.
tlla had also arrived at Maracaybo from
the Provinces Of Carthagena and St. Mar
tina, with ample forces TO cooperate a.
gainst every point of Coro, and it was
daily expected that Naval forces to effect
complete Blockade ofPorlo Bello would
arrive, which must in such case imms-
diately surrender.
The port of Caracas was, early in
February, mo)ested by two Spanish priva.
teers, that bad been cruizing off the port
Of La Guayra for some time.
We have received the first four numbers
of new paper, entitled the Tr,s de Vsn'
ezuela." We believe it is the only jo lal
now published IN Caracas. Its execution
is neat, and its principles liberal. We
discover nothing new or important in the
perusal, except what may excite the ad.
miration Of our military. The Congress
Of Colombia. duly considering the servl
ces which her soldiers and officers have
rendered in the protection of her liberty,
and the establishment of independence,
decreed on the 2Sth January last, in con-
firmation of similar decree on the 9Th,
the following salaries to all who have serv-
ed from the campaign Of 1916, to Feb.
1919:
To general in chief. Ds5, 900; general
OF Division 10000; general of brigade
$4,000, colonel 10000; Lieutenant colonel
5000; major 5000; eaptain 5000; lieuten.
ant 4ooo; ensign (subteniente) 5000; SER
geants Isl and I'd, loco each; corporal
(Cabo) 7 o, and to private soldier 300
dollars p annum. If such liberal pay
does not make men fght-what will!-
What clever fellow must be their secre-
tary OF the treasury!
COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT.
Extract of letter from gentleman, TO
his correspondent in the city of Boston,
dated Canton, Nov. II, 1921.
cit appears by some recent measures a.

that no Opium is on board, or was import
