We have received file of the Caracas Co

Guayra from St Thomas, has been captured
by Spanish privateer and condemned in Puer-

1--WE learn by the Gaceta de Colombia of the
9Th November, that His Excellency the Ii
berator was in Puno on the 9th of August, and
that General Sucre had set out from Chuqujsa-
ca on the LIST July, to give him meeting in
La Paz. We can scarcely, however, reconcile
geography and dates, in this statement: La Paz
being within the Buenos Ayrean territories, and
Puno on the frontier of Upper Peru.

suppose that General Sucre could not reach La
Paz till after the 9th Of August, and that 1t was
the design of the Liberator to advance to that
district, as by reaching La Paz at any time
between the lst July and the 9th OF August, the
meeting would be rather in Puno than in the
former place. Indeed we find by the Gacefd de
Colombia that one Of our divisions under Gen.
Cordova was in La Paz, whilst the other re-
manned under General Lara in Arequipa.
"The blockade of Callao, under the command
of General Salon is stated m the same paper,
