FROM CURRACOA.-By the Cannon in %
days from Curacao, we have received regular flies of
the CouRRANT TO 9th October Inclusive. Accounts
from Maracabo Of the 18th. and 5lst September,
positively state that great battle had been
fous bit in Peru, in which the Spanish army had been
completely defeated and that Bolivar lost 6Ut0
men in the action. As this intelligence was recev.
ed at Maracabo from Bogota, from Quito and from
Guayaquill, it seems to be entitled to credit, the
more especially as reports 10 the effect have
also reached us from Carthagena. The circum-
stance OF Bolivar having lost many men, shews
that The statement must refer to period subsequent
TO Inc affair in which Cantarac's cavalry was cut to
pieces. 1t is not improbable than he succeeded in
falying his flying infantry, and that general en-
gagement then took place. Caliao, sH well as
Lima, is stated to have fallen again into the hands
OF the patriots.

DELAWARE ELECTORS.

The Legislature of this State on Tuesday last,
chose the following persons electors Of President
and Vice President Of the United States
JOHN CALDWELL, Of Newcastle,
JOSEPH G. ROWLAfyD, Of Kent,
ISAAC TUNNEL, OF Sussex.
OF these. Mr. Rowland is in favor of Mr. Adams ;
Mr.. Caldwell Of Mr.. Clay; and Mr.. Tunnel o!
Mr.. Crawford. How this extraordinary choice was
brought about, is a mystery which remains 10 be ex
planned For month past no reasonable man en-
ertaned any other expectation than that the whole
vote of this State would be given to Mr. Adams
Kent was decidedly in his favor and although &c.
neral Jackson was the first choice OF Newcastle,
Mr.. Adams was the second; and as 1t was clearly
asceralned that General Jackson could not possibly
obtain vote out of Newcastle, 1t was fully believed
that union between Newcastle and Kent would
have secur ed The votetf the State TO Mr. Adams.
This was the wish Of Newcastle county, as has been
shown by all the indications Of public sentiment
within the last six months.
Ertract Of d letter from Dorer, datgd .Noc 10.
aThe choice OF Electors was made yesterday at
half past O'Clock. The following were the pro-
ceedngs in joint M citing:
Isaac Tunne was nominated by Peter Robinson,
Henry Nj. Ridgey by Mr.. Grow, Daniel Rodney
by MIR. Mfin John Caldwell by MIR. Cullen, Ro-
bert Young by Mr. Whiteley, John Gordon by Mr..

Daniel Rodney 10 Kensey Johns 10
John Caldwell Is PurEall rindal Q
Robert Young 8 w. ID. NAPLES
There were so members present, and General
Jesse Green, the Speaker of the Senate, very
strangely decided that fifteen as 'nority OF thir-
ty, and that consequently MIR Tunnel and Mr.
Caldwell were elected, as well as Mr.. Rowland II
is believed that the election with regard 10 the two
former is nullity, and that this State will have but
one vote at the Presidential election. MIR. Rowland,
The only gentleman who received majority OF the
votes is decidedly in favor Of Mr.. Adams.
At The opening Of the session, the strength OF the
parties stood thus-For MIR, Adams 14--General
jackson 5-NIr Crawford l. Nine from Kent and
five from Newcastle were in favor OF Mr.. Adams
Five from Newcastle for Jackson land one from
K ent and ten from Sussex for Crawford. Adams
electors could have been elected onIhe a. DAY with
the greatest ease, by union OF the hive Tiehds oil
jackson with the members IN favor OF him. here
never was such scene OF bargaining and intrigue
exhibited al Dover, as on this occasion. The wish
es of the people are now a-days OF no more mpor-
tance than an idle wind.''
