''By the accounts received this day,
from good authority, it appears that
Gen. Morales, after taking possession
of Msracaybo and the Forth of San Car
los and Gibraltar, sailed from thence
for Porto Cabello, leaving the most
considerable part of his force, taking
with him the frigats Ligera, the brig
Hercules, and two schooners, the latter
were cast away on the coast OF Core,
and the ship and brig got safe into for-
to Cavello, where they now are. A
bout the time of Gen. Mora.es deQsr-
ture from Maracayho, Gen Urdaneta,
with 5 500 troops, arrived at TrExillo
from the k kingdom Of Santa Fe, and was
therefore within two.d days march OF the
Spanish force at Gibraltar, The arri-
val of so large force enabled Gen
Paez to return from TFuxiiio, with his
troops, to Valencia where they arrived
on Friday evening, the 18th inst. In
addition to the Colombian forces under
Gen, Urdsneta, it appears Gen. Mon
teiia had landed at Rio-de.a la iIache a
considerable body of troops, and after
landing directed the Lady Burlington
corvette 81 guns, the Tarentula of IA
guns, and two schooners IN which he
brought his troops from Carthagena, to
cruize off the Bar of Maracaybo, SO as
to prevent the Spaniards from getting
out, as he appeared confident OF uniting
his force with that of Gen. Urdaneta
and Obliging the Spanish troops to ca
pituate, and deliver UP the city and
forts.
