PUERTO RICo-An arrival at Havana had
brought news from this place to the 9th inst. On
the 5th nst the Spanish frgate Union arrived from
Cadiz, bringing the new Captain General and his
family. EL Boletin gives an account of a vessel
which had been seen cruising near the coast of
Puerto Rico, and whose man9uvres had excited
suspcions of her character. Two vessels were sent
out to pursue her. but returned without being able
TO meet her 1t was afterwards ascertained that
she was a Haytien vessel The market Of Puerto
Rico remained quiet. A vessel from Boston, and
one from Baltimore had arrived with cargoes of
provisions, part of which had been disposed Of. A
very rich gold mine has been discovered near the
town of Corozal the gold is obtained by washing
the sands found in the bed of a small stream.
VENEzUELA-The partisans of Paez have sue
ceeded in repOssessing themselves of the city OF
Maracaibo. They had, for long time after the oc-
cupation of the city by Monagas forces, sustained
themselves in the castle of San Carlos, whence
:hey made sally, and aided by the naval arma-
ment. regained the town. The feet of Monagas
was defeated and compelled to withdraw to Curaeoa
to reft. Castillo, who commanded in Maracaibo,
was compelled to capituate, and was suffered to
march out with the honors of war; his troops taking
with them their arms. As the soldiers of Paez did
not wish to accede to the last condition, the aall
had not been completely settled, but it was expected
that in few days the insurgent forces would be IL
full possession. These events says EJ Faro Indus
triel will convince our readers that the maritime
| forces of Gen. PaeZ are undoubtedly superior tc
those of the Government of Caracas, and that witt
| them he can cause much injury to its commerce
and menace those points on the coast which remain
loyal Possessed anew of Maracaibo, that province
will give all its resources to the exPresident, WHIT
can organize land forces to oppose those of Mona
gas. and he can also arouse in his favor SOM
other parts of Venezuela. By the way of Puerto
Rico, news had been received that on the goth ult
the squadron of Paez anchored in Rio Caribe, Can
/
guarded that place were defeated by 200 inhab
itants of Canton de Cumana, to whom the com
mander of the squadron had given arms. A grea
part of Cumana has pronounced in favor of Paez
It was stated on Rio Caribe that Gen Carabano
one of Monagas' officers, had been assassinated b,
his own soldiers near Cariaco. Gen. Paez left 81
Thomas for Maracaibo on the I'd inst. in an Amer
can steamer.(O
CHILL AND ECUADoR.-News has been receives
from these Republics to the oath of July. In Chill
the state of commercial affairs was very much de
pressed. Public opinion demanded that all tn
ports should he declared free the only remedy 70
the evils which afflicted the country Anothe
earthquake was experienced on the llth of May
but fortunately did no damage. The frequency c
these alarming phenomena in Chill, may be judge
| from the fact that there have been 40 during tn
last sixteen months. In Ecuador the return of Ger
Flores was momentarily expected: his partisan
are closely watched by the Government, which ha
taken very severe measures with them.
