We received last niglit a NVew Yorle paper of the 27tl ult. It contains an official coinmuniication from XAV. DE MEDINA, Esq., Colombian agent at Now York, of the Extraordinary Gazxete published at Panaina on the 1st of June, with the account of the defection of OLAXXETA from the Royal cause in Pcru, which has alrcady appeared in this paper. 'I'hat event, therefore, the authenticity of whicih is much disputed, still rests on the same authority as whei) first promulgated. By the Colornbian brig of war Ven- cedor, arrived at Baltimore from Paerto Cavello, informa- tion was brouglht that preparations were still going on at that place to forward additional troops to Peru,to augment the ariiy unider BOLIVAnt. Commodore DANIELswas at Porto Cavello, actively employed in fitting out transports for the reception of the troops, and in preparing the squadron whiclh he was appointedl to command, in orler to conivey the military to Clhagrcs. On the day the Vcnedor left, he was to sail in the Santander for Laguayra, and return immtediately with ,the necessary supplics, wheln the expedition would depart for its destination. Porto Cavello has improvcd consi(ler- ably since it fell inito the hands of the Patriots. Several of the houses destroyed during the siege have bcen rebuilt; new mercantile establishmetis openied ; emigrants from various quarters, includting thle *est India Islands, had arrived to settle; and there wvas no dloubt, from the excel- lenec of the lharbour anti thte rich country behind it, that it wouldl become a placc of very considerable trade.
