A report has been some dav. ;.
culation, and has been received ~ gu
several sources, that Morales .s ;''a
complete defeat had terminated h.. @ts
istence by pistol. The relative w.
alton of the armies make it hichl. avs
bable that something decisive h.. rV'

ITCHY of this rumor, which NAV nros!

letter from Morales to La Torra LEV
fell into the hands of Col. Woodhs.'sa
in which he prop.esies such cope!

We learn by bulletin from pu.,,.
Cavello that the frigate is gone to H..

STATE OF THE WAR.
Prorsnce Of COro. b,
We learn by private letters thst,h.
division Of Col. Penango, was unaer,b.
necessity OF retiring from the Coast, IN
consequence of the climate and sca,e;'
ty of provisions, to unite at Carora with
the Reinforcement brought by Gan
Soubletts from Barquesimito Cd II.
10th ult.; the united force again n,ov.a
forwards, consisting Of four battallion,.
and the column of Reyes Varges, with,
supply of 400 cattle, maize, 2spelou
&c. On the 2lst the division wa, at
Seguisique on the ed the advance
fell in with the advance Of q column Of
500 Spaniards, commanded by Colonel
Seilio on their way to plumber Caron,
imagining our troops to Be at SI.n.
caybo. After short ekirmish with
some of Reyes Yarnas' men, both par.
ties took up a position for the night
On the Esd they were rapidly driven
back through Pedregal, with the. los, Of
their cattle and stores. At Pedreg,l
Guerilla commanders. psrcsi,.
ing the situation Of their allies tobs
desperate, came in and SURRENDERED
Morales has no force left
but the battalion of Yarnas and few
recruits--his only chance Of s.c,ps
seems to be the arrival Of the Spanish
naval force at Coro.
Peere Torrebar has been appointed
of the Province, and occupied
Pedregas to secure he communicates
Of tho army with Barquestimito
The activity and arrangements Of
General Soublette are spoken of 10
these letters in terms of high praise.
PUERTO CAVELLO.
Bulletins S, 9 and 10 have been To-
ceived. The Battalion Of Valsncey made
q sally on the Esd, but was beaten back
with loss. we had Z wounded. A q
FOUNDER which had been mounted On
the Viga commenced firing on the 5oth
to the great annoyance ofthe beslsgea'
who are much straitened by our work
A second "a FOUNDER was mounted Oh
the 30th. On the night Of the 3lst, gen.
La Tore turned out of the garrison
l2O persons, women and children, 'Dd
aged or infrm men, who were humane
~ received by Gen. Paez. The enc
mics squadron returned on the o.
They ware partially engaged by 'hs
Vicador and Bolivar, the former Of
which lost a mast. The enemies 'er
sells anchored witboutside the harbour
IN conse quence Of our battery on Wv
Yiga, which commands the entrance

]uction of Puerto Cavello, has os's
happily accomplished to the full es''u'
