From THE VENEZUELA GoLD REGIoN.-We
have been shown some very fine specimens
of gold ore--aurferous quartz--from the
mines of Yupata, recen ly discovered the
river Yururary, branch Of Orinoco, about
one hundred and seventy miles from Angos-
ira, or Ciudad Bolivar. The specimens are
of exceeding richness, and promise we'll for
the new California. Our late Venezuela pa
pers contain much relative to these gold mines,
and show that the greatest attention is paid to
the subject, and the tide of population is rap
idly flowing thitherwards.
A letter dated at Guiria, which we trans
late from " FL Monitor" published in Cuma-
ma, says, " As soon as the discovery of the
mines Of Upata was made known. companies
of Adventures from the town of Trinidad and
from Ciudad Bolivar proceeded to the gold
regions. Senior DeIacorta, in five days,
gathered 200 ounces, and Senior Sacramento
one hundred and fifty ounces in three days
The government of Venezuela, in whose
lands the mines are, will be enabled to pay
the English debt in one year The news has
set the people almost beside themselves, and
the excitement is far greater than that pro-
duced by the discovery Of the placers of the
Calfornians."
