INTERESTING FROM VENEZUELA. - The New
York Herald publishes a letter from Curacao dated
the Dist ult, and containing interesting news from
Venezuela: g In my last Of the 9th inst, in
formed you of the landing Of Gen. Paez in Fene-
zuea, at the Yelad Coro, on the ID inst, and his
enthusiastic reception by the inhabitants of the
provinee of Coro, &c. Since then we have re-
eeved additional information here of the proluIs-
oianieato of several towns in the valley of Tuy
against tha government Of Monagas the forces Of
these towns are headed by Gen. Maeefo, a good
officer and have taken possession of the important
post of Orituco, where they are organizing.
In Calabozo, the chief, Miguel Palacios, at the
head Of one thousand men, has taken up arms
against the government; these forces, consisting
Of infantry and cavalry, are well armed and mount
ed. The vanguard Of Palaoios, consisting Of two
hundred men, attacked and defeated the govern
ment leader, Porto Carerro, near the town Villa de
Cura, which Palacios entered and subsequently
abandoned, to take up better position. AT San
Juan de los MOrr0s, the government forces, about
five hundred, under Exeguiel Zamora were routed.
On the 18th or 20th inst, Gen. Paez with the main
body of the army, was to commence his march up
on Barquisimeto considered the hey of all military
operations in Venezuela. Sotlo, as leader and
intimate friend of Monagas, has been compelled to
abandon Apure.
Such is the news we have received here as au-
thentic, and have every reason TO believe, can
be relied on. Il is likewise asserted here, on the
authority of several letters received from Vene-
zuela, that Farfan has abandoned the cause OF the
government, and declared in favor Of the restoTa-
