The following is the most recent and correct neys we have received here, and that through channels the most intelligent and least liable to the' many absurd errors, which actu ally exist relative to the different contendinc: parties in Venezuela New Grenada, and in the provinces bordering upon the Pacific Ocean, &c. ; - -.1; . Venezuela Since I wrote youjast, events of infinite moment ' have transpired in the aforesaid provinces of Venezuela ; but to recite them all would be too lengthy for the limits of a letter. :. I will , therfore be as concise as possible, mentioning only the most interesting. , , yr On the 2d of December last, a se vere and., sanguinary battle was fought between a . division of the i Republican array, under the com mand ' of the Patriotic and brave Gen. La Torre, ck Cen. Moril !o,l at a. place, called Haiode Mo gazo ;. the forces of the former consisted of, 1000 Infantry . and 300 cavalry, and those of the latter 1500 cavalry, inclusiye-of both ; and although you may have read the offi cial reports of the Royalists, publish-, ed in the United States, stating that they were the victors, yet it was ac tually the reverse, and no faith what ever can be attached to such (as the Royalists call them) official papers j ot their j mandarine leaaers wnen the public shall be informed;1 thb the year 1813, on the triumphant tnat in en trance of the , undaunted and inde fatigable Bolivar, into the town of Truxillo, on his march from Santa Fee, to reconquer his afflicted coun try V enezuela, a royal salute was or dered to be fired by the Spaniards in Caraccas, and Te. Deuai to be chautited in the churches, in conse- befn forgotten, that these very Roy- alists omcially stated, that they had ( taken the valiant Sir Gregor Mac ; Gregor prisoner, in I816j and after haying cut on" his head, dispatched it for caraccas ; but he is now j in Europe -Many such like ojdicial documents they have circulated both Defore and atter those periods, too numerous now to count. But to the fact in said hard fought action, the Royalists amounted to 1000 111 kil- the former was the second in com mand, and a great number of officers, wjth their Gen. severely wounded ; antl the Patriots dost 900 menbut thcLcavalrv of Zaraza not being en gaged at I the commencement- of the attack, entered at the close and com pelled the Spaniards to quitthe field of blood, for a place called Calvavio, and this yictotv. crownedthe Patri ots' invincible intrepidity. General Moritlo, maintaminjr his head quarters at Calabozo. to the close of Jannary, or the very begin ning of February, was suprisea and entirely cut off from Caraccas, by the skilful movement of the Inde- pendent; armies of more than 8000 men, under tne commanu oi uens. Bi)l'rvar; Zaraza. Seublette, Urdahe- ta and Paez ; and Morillo (there be ing no other jalternative left him) resolved to form his army into a so lid column, and break through the line of the former in order to xape f possible, to the coast ; this he ef fected with prodigious loss, aban doning all his artillery, baggage and military train which he had d' posi ted in Calabozo ; and while pursued by a detachment of the Patriotic for ces, he was joined accidentally by 5 or 600 men on his retreat, underhe command of Loper ; he their daringJ ly ordered his but recently defeate army, with assistance, to advance up on the af resaid deta hment, whic being muth lest in number. UUba upon the. main armv after a slight Hkitmish from, this ;ircumstatce Mnnlln. wrote from Barbacoff; innt. in tW-fnrm of . a dispatch to his Secretary Uzelav, (who' by the ay illed the day before) star had been ting that he-fhad. entirely defeated the Rebels; and that he should I pro ceed the same night to . Sombrero, to annihilate thei remaining relicJtjs-7-but on the night of the 17th of Fe6 last, it is connaentiy am mea inat IVlorillo was nimsell taken prison er at the bombrero. A letter dated at the city of Gar accas, the 10th of. February, siyst that " on the 17th and 18th of the th 'same, month, the members, of Audiencia and other lrdividpals inimical to the cause of the f aj- riot, to I the number , of 6 or 7DOp souls, emigrated on said 4 days tc Guira,' (as well, as irom.all the o La her points in the interior, and even from1, Valencia to Porto CabeJlo and Cpro' taking every thing that they tjmld carry with them n such occasions) when thty immediately embarked-' on board the first vessel : or ci noc they could enter ; and jthat , every thing Whs in the gre est confusion, and Gen. Morillo hid been corn- , pletely defeated on the 15ih, 6th and 17th instant, and nothing can. positively, be ascertained fhere v hat , has become of him (Mdrijle) S3T$fe say he is a prisonervotheis that he . Itas been killed, in short tpat notliing is to hi heard of hi m." j The af ore mentioned emigration in the port of La Guira yas prevented j at that mo ment by , . the . co m m andant o thfe 1 same, saying that such were the or ders, not of Morillo,- but other au thorities, in vnttie of the vie ory which he h.h obtained pear Batba coa, as mentioned in his (Morilir 's) ! letter to Uzelay. Salutes and ring ! ing of bells was.-the' routine.:-of. the day; but these Receptive rejoicings will prove-as latal and disastrous tp the Royalists, as those-I have before cited on the occupation of Trus illo, 7 by Bolivar, in 1813, And the 'beh wad ing of Mac Gregor in 1816. In one word, these steps'were taken by the old Spaniards only to give time to such of their unfortuna'tejand deieat ed companions as might hayees:ap- ed the conflict,,. to serve preyioui to their departure : otherwise y1 hey would fallVthe victims of their ; owpr'; tyranny and, cruelly, into-the tends of their enemies, justly enfuriate'd against their oppressors, whose .. weapons- have been stained and ate still wreaking with the inno :ent blood of thousands of their fel btv citizens. By a gentleman from dc ro, with whom I have conversed,'! am informed, that while there, '8th INI arch) he learned that a despatch7 a had been received advising then cJ the defeat-of the army jf .
