At the dawn of this day dispatches were
received from the secretary OF war the
following communication -
have the very great satisfaction OF IN
forming you, sir, that the liberator presi-

enemy in Quito. The battle took place
on the 9TH April last, on the heights OF Ca
riaco. The general of brigade J. de Js-
,us BGrreto has brought this important IN
formation from Popayan, but no other ac-
counts. The battle was severe and SAN
culinary, and cost the enemy beside grea:
number OF men, their general-in- chief
Murgeon, who fell at the head OF a select
corps. On our part, We have not lest ma
ny, though we have had several wounded.
among whom are gen. Torres and 1t. col.
J. Paris.
hasten to communicate 10 you this nm
portant information for your own satlstac-

COLOMBIAN REPUBLIC.

We have received Caracas papers to the
10th OF June, and private letters 10 the
18th, from which we make some extracts.
A letter from friend at the city OF "a
racas saws. yours of the 5th and 18th OF
April, had completed the intelligence OF a
good understanding and confidence be-
tween the two republics. The news was
received here with the enthusiasm which
you can suppose it likely 10 have been re-
ceived. The day the information was re-
ceived here, expresses were Immediately
sent 10 the several departments, and ma
tional salute was fired in the plaza and
brilliant illumination for three successive
nights.
On the 18th inst, we received the glori-
Gus news of the defeat of the royal forces
under Gen Cruz Mourgeon, in Quito, by
the republican army Immediately under
the command OF president Boiivar-irom
every thing can learn. it was one OF the
hardest commended battles ever fought IN
this country.
The celebrated general Murgeon who
commanded the enemy, fell honorably at
the head of his troops on a charge made
upon one of our tanks. This battle has
put our troops in quiet possession OF the
whole OF the territory OF the republic 10
Tumbez. the southern line OF our COVER
mental Jurisdiction.
The only position occupied by the Spa.
niards now is Porto Cabello, unless any
consequence should be attributed to the
marauding parties cast on the coast OF Co
TO, part of which has already capitula-
ted. La Tore continues still to hold out
IN Porto Cabelle-the seige has been con-
Quoted on the land side with much vigor
by gen. Paez. We had yesterday rumors
from Valencia that the maranders under
Morales, had been defeated by gen. Soub-
tette, in the provipGe of Coro, but nothing
official has been received. Last night a
vessel from Curacao brought the like in
formation with additions, among other
things. that Morales had shot himself. Re
ports to flatter the wishes of those by whom
or to whom slips are addressed, have be-
come so common as to render all reports
question: BILE from the character of Mo-
rales, should think him one Of the last
men in the world who would shoot himself.
Three days since, gen. Paez paid visit
to this city, on public business. While
absent from the siege, it is said the enemy
made so-t,e led by La Tore, but that
he was driven back. But this goes among
the rumors. Gen. Paez after one days
occupation here, departed for Valencia,
where he was to meet gen. Soublette, pre-
paratory to some more effective operations
against Porto Cabello. Ii is the opinion
OF discerning men here, that the fall OF that
place is not likely before the arrival OF
President Bolivar, who is on his return
from the southern departments Of the re-
public.

"The war which has existed between
the Usage and Cherokee nations OF Indians
is, am happy to state, about being settled
TO the mutual satisfaction of the parties, in
which have no doubt the United States
will participate, as the government feels
lively interest in its speedy adjustment.
1t has existed. believe, since 1918, since
which time many barbarities, of the most
shocking character, have been committed
on both sides, but more particularly by the
Cherokees, the Osages being more dispos-
ed TO steal horses than to kill warriors. A
council of chiefs of each nation will, it is
expected, assemble at this post in about
a month, to effect treaty of amity, at
which the governor will be present.
Having never witnessed an assembly OF
the kind, anticipate the qualification OF

FIRE !-On Wednesday night last, our
citizens were again aroused by the cry of
IRE. The flames were first discovered
issuing through the roof of the house late
ly occupied by Mr.. James Beck, on main
street, which, with the adjoining house
occupied by Messrs, Graham, and several
out buildings, were consumed. Inc
nightly patrole had passed the house out
half 40 hour previous to the alarm oeing
given, at which time all appeared safe.
There can be no doubt that the nre was
the work of some vile incendiary as tne
house il which it commenced was unoe,
cupied al the time. This is the second
instance. within less than three years. that
Mrs. Graham bias been obliged to fly at
night from her burning house with the loss
of much of her furniture, and almost with
danger TO herself and family from the sud-
den and near appearance OF the flames.

The melancholy and unfortunate acct
dent by which so many young officers be-
longing to the Franklin "a, met with an
nntimely grave, on the coast OF Chill, has
induced us TO examine the Naval Register

brother of the late gallant Capt. O. h.
Perry.-John Cremer, Midshipman, was
from Maryland; Robert B. Coffin, and

they carried with them, they descended
that river until it discharges itself into me
