miOM MiiE SPANISH MAIN
-4 Baltimore, May 5.
By the schooner Admiral Kikkert,
Bourne, from Curracoa, we have re
ceived a file of the Curracoa Courant,
up io the 20th of April, from which
we have extracted the following in
telligence.
curracoa, April 19
We learn from Puerto Cahelo.
(hat general MoriHo bad arrived at
Maracay. Private letters mention
(hat brigadier Paiquel Real has been
put under an arrest io the Castillo
del Colorado, in La Gaayra—and
that brigadier Morales, colonels Ur
riestidtta and Quern, and captain Al
exos, arc also in arrest at Puerto Ca
bcllo. No reason is assigned for (he
confinement of those officers. Bri-,
gadier Sumano is' eaptain general,
ad interim, of Garraveas; his excel
lency Don Salvador dc Moxo having
proceeded fur the army.
March 19.
By accounts from La Guayra, we
learn, that «n Wednesday last 200
men were to embark from that port,
and on (he following day 800 more
The whole, it was reported, were to
proceed in several transports, to <*u
mana, under convey of two Spanish
brigs of war, which arrived there on
Tuesday, said to be from Barcelona.
Venezuela.
Bulletin of the Liberating Army,
, No 2.
Since the 18th of February, in the
evening, when the remainder of the
Spanish army under brigadier geno
eral Real, retired in the greatest dis
order by irregular roads, notwith
standing all our efforts to prevent it,
we never could bring them to a <le
cisivea tion. /
On the 11th his exceellency gene
ral Marino, commander in chief of
(he forces, entered these head quar
ters at the head of his army.
On the 12th we had an engagement
with seven Spanish vessels of two
hours and a half, without any loss on ;
our part. On that same day, having ;
understood that the enemy halted at |
the Pilar, orders were given to march j
against them.
On (lie 14th we directed our march I
by the road to Bt. Berhardino, and j
arrived at four o’clock in the after
noon at that place, where wo found
part of the king’s troops entrenched
in a convent, which they defended
till night. But experiencing that our
march by that road to the Pilar was
too difficult and troublesome, orders
were given for a countermarch,
which was effected with (he loss of
only six wounded on our part.
On the 15th the army returned to
headquarters. <
On the 18 a squadron of 17, king’s
vessels came off this harbor, the en
try thereto being defended by only
four gunboats, under the gallant
captain of (he navy, Antoni<rDiaß,
who, supported by three privateers
anchored in the port, not only pre
vented the enemy from entering, but.
finally forced them to retreat. From
the prisoners taken on that occasion
we understand that they had 40 kill- |
edand upwards of 70 wounded, among
them Guerrero, the commander of
their gunboats.
On the luih we bad a similar glo
rious and fortunate action.
On the 21st when our army was
ready to march to the Pilar, having
been informed by our reconnoitring
parlies that the cmemy advanced »to
the Juneal, three leagues" distant
from this city, we resolved to wait'
for them, and endeavor to attract
them to these vicinities, where their
destruction would have hpen inevita
ble; however, wo # could not succeed
in gettihg them out of (heir ambus
cade of (he Juneal, where (hey had
entrenched themselves, notwithstand
ing every stratagem on our part to
bring them to a general action.
On the 2(2d the armed schooner
General Marino, blew up a king’s
stationed to the windward i
of this port to watch our movements i
on the coast, in the presence of (he (
Spanish squadron. .
One single broadside was sufficient
to put the enemy’s-vessel in aTiiazc,
without a shot being fired on hep part
although she mounted 7 guns, one of
which was an 18 pounder. Captain
Ouboit, who commanded the Indepen
dent schooner, received no other dam
age to his vessel than Ihe mainsail
having caught lire, when he immedi
ately returned to Margarita. *
On the SBth at S o’clock at night,
the enemy broke up their camp and
retired along the coast to Carra
oas.
On the 4th instant our gun boats
ihe command of Antonio Dias,

*W , • % i
captaiq oftltc navy*withSOO infantry
imddr t colonat Ani&‘i4 gained the
must complete triumph. A battery
constructed enemy o ft |he
height* of the THoro, rendered the
approach of their formidable position
in (bat quarter, which besides was
supposed by 18 vessel* of war, a
most dfficult (ask; At the break of
day the fire of two of our giro* was
opened upon (hem, while four of our
gunboats comeing up from the river
attacked the'Spanish force with such
rapidity that (hey thought on nothing
else hat to make their escape, and to
abandon the battory, the harbor, aud
even (he coast.
The confusion of the enemy at that
moment Ws (host frightful; the sloop
of war noylen, the brigs and'schoo
ners cut their cables, and »n a most
cowardly manner wore towed to lee
' ward. The attack made by colonel
Armarioon the battery of (he enemy
was conducted with (he greatest valor
and nothing is to he compared to the
C' liragc of our troops in that battle,
i The velocity of their march saved
• hem from suffering a great loss,
onsidering the nature of (he road,
which is extremely narrow, washed
l>y the sea am) having upwards of 100
pieces sf cannon on both sides, from
which a deluge of shot of every de
scription was poured from the armed
vessels. These repeated good success
es have delivered us from the block
ade of ihe Spanish squadron Which
covered itself with everlasting shame
The. Spaniards were superior as well
in number of arms as in their superi
or poaititfb; but the royal troops are
not to be compared to the republicans,
they having lost all hope, confidence
and deportment.
The troops, of Real, for which the
Spanish government made such great
sacrifices, are destroyed, without hav
ing obtained ihe least success. Our
loss does not amount to CO men.
The Spanish squadron, consisting of
18 sail, has likewise disappeared
with the loss of only 15 men on
| our pari, while (heirs amounted to
| upwards of 300 in the different bat
tles. We are, therefore, allowed to
| say that our triumphs have been glo
i rious and prosperous.

Extract of letters from a gentleman
iu Buenos Jlpres to his friend in ;
Baltimore . |
•* Buenos Ayres, Feb. 28.
“ In my last letter I informed you (
of the progress of Gen, ban Martin,
who advanced into Chili, having pass
ed the Cordilleras without opposition,
at (he head of an army of 6000 men.
1 have now to state, that we have re
ceived an account of an action having
been fought between the royalists and
the troops of this province, whirl) end
ed in the total defeat and destruction
of (he former. The express arrived
in town, accompanied by an officer,
j who brought the colours of the king’s
troops taken. There were 1000 kill
ed, and 500 taken prisoners, with a
general. The Buenos Ayreans have
entered the capital, Santiago.”
March 1.
“ Chili is gone: it Is in (he hands
of the patriots, who have carried eve
ry thing before them. The last ac
counts state them to be in Coquimbo,
and the royalists flying in every di
rection. San Martin writes with all
confidence, and they apprehend no
further resistance, the people all be
ing Disposed for revolution. The cry
now is for war with the Portuguese,
ami it is firmjy believed by ninny that
it will be declared immediately.”
March 6.
** We have further accounts. Gen.
Mareon, the royal governor of Chili,
with his suite, have been taken at
1 Valparaiso,.op the point of embark
ing with two: millions of dollars' 'lire
Patriots have possession of every port
i on (he coast of Chili.
“ That there will be a war with the
Portuguese, I have no doubt. This
government, in retaliation of some
act* oftbe Portuguese, at Montevideo,
have imprisoner! all the Portuguese
merchants and others at this place.”
It is reported(says the Boston Palia
dium) that American flour has risen
to 90s per barrel in London, and that
fears are entertained ihe present season
from the wetness of the winter of the
rotting of the seed planted In the fall.
A quantity of American flour im
ported into Cork from Baltimore has
sold freely for from 93s 6d to |6s per
barrel!.

Theatrical.*—After a lapse of some
years we were gratified toßsee our
Theatre again opened on Wednesday
evening last, under Ihe most flattering
auspices; which we hope wilt prove
no delusive symptom of future pat
ronage. The pieces selected for the
evening’s performance were Cherry’s
fine Comedy of Ihe Soldier's Daugh
ter, and the musical farce of the Men
ry Wag of Windsor * To say, Ihe
Soldier’s Daughter was Welt support
ed, would he poor commendation.—
The characters generally speaking,
were ably sustained. Beginning with
young Heartall—we think Mr.
Young gave Ilfs gentleman full effect.
If we may so speak, bis wild, but ami
able character, luxuriating in all the
adolescence of virtue, was handsome
ly displayed. In the scene where
Woodly discovers himself to be (he
brother of the Widow Clieerly, we
presented with some fine acting
—and had the part of Woodly been
properly done, the effect would have
been consummated. * When replying
to Heartall, (who considers him a ri
val ) he ought to have thrown more
sang f raid into his manner aud ex
pression—lnstead of being provek
in*rly guodnatured,hewas inconsider
ately mad. Mr. llohton gave the
old Governor his due—When canvas
sing the merits of Ferrett with Tim
othy Quaint, he was admirable—as
also, in the scene where old Ferrett
endeavors to calumniate the reputa
tion of Frank. The sudden transi
tions from affection to indignation were
well expressed. Mr. Cross, in Fer
rett, was much happier in the denote
ment, than in the general tenor of his
character. Mr. Stiller is certainly
a legitimate offspring of Com us—he
was Timothy Quaint in almost every
point of view—be gave his character
its full force, and—a- little more. The
dull, inflexible, monotonous expressi
on of face, or rather the no expression
of face that he ought to have express
ed, was too often disfigured by unite*
eessary grimace This fault aside,
the character was ail the author in
tended* The remaining parts were
handsomely sustained, 'lo Mr, M‘-1
Donald, however, we vwuld reoom- ■
mend a little more attention to his :
book, and less to the prompter.
Mrs. Young, in the Widow Cheerly,
was all that we could have wished.—
i Her lovely person, her charming and
! expressive features, her finely uiodu- ,
j lated voice, and the playful raillery of
j her manner, elicited (he most animat
-led approbation. Mrs. Waring, Mrs.
Ho ton and Miss Moore, went thro’
their respective parts with considera
ble credit.
, If gracefulness, ease, and vivacity
of motion, combined with chasteness
and elegance of deportment, are con
stituents of good dancing. Miss Let
tine certainly possesses them in an
eminent degree.
The Wag of Windsor went off finely.
Spiilcr was entirely at home in Caleb
Quotcm. Young agreeably surprised
us. John Lump is certainly out of
his line of acting—but he really did I
the character great justice.
In consequence of prior engage- 1
ments, the stay of (he C ompany will
be very limited; owing to this circum
stance the managers are induced lo
play four tiipes a week.„ The expen
ses attendant upon so numerous a
company as they have brought with
them, must be very great—and when,
added tdthid, we see their unremitted
exertions, to make their performances
useful and pleasing, we ardently hope
(hat the discerning liberality of our
city will not permit them lo go unre
warded.
We cannot close this article with
out noticing an observation made
by several gentlemen, who had often
frequented long established and well
regulated Theatres— «< that in none of
them did they ever observe belter
order, or more decorous conduct.”
