LATE 1 ROM ENCiLANI).
The ship Triton, captain Holcomb, arrived on
the 23d ultimo at Boston, in eighteen days from
Liverpool, which port she left on the 4th, and
brings papers tothc 3d. They contain, how ever,
nothing very interesting to the American reader.
Their contents may be gathered from the follow
ing summary,extracted from the New-York Ga
zette.
For ten weeks previous to the 4th of April,
32,000 bags of cotton arrived at Liverpool, a

Great preparations were making in Cadi a. for
the .equipment of the expedition destined to
Buenos Ayres. Count d’Abisbal, (O’Donnell,)
is to command in chief, having been appointed
viceroy of Buenos Ayres. A number of ships
had been chartered in England, to carry out the
troops. Some ships had also been chartered in
France for a similar purpose. The naval force
would consist of 4 sail of the line, 6 frigates, 12
brigs and schrs. and 36 gun boats. The military
force would consist of about 20,000 men. It w'as
expected the expedition would sail in June.
Great surprize exists among those who know the
dilapidated resources of Spain, concerning the
quarter whence money has been furnished to
meet the charges of the expedition. That mo
ney has been liberally supplied is certain, from
the concurring testimony of all those who have
been concerned in the contracts relating to it.
Contributions, not strictly voluntary, have, it is
said, been afforded by Spanish subjects; hut
these cannot have been very extensive. Spain
has also received assistance from France, to the
amount of 1,500,000 livres, either in liquidation
of some former claims, or as a loan; and a bull
has been obtained from the pope, for appropriat
ing one-tenth part of the produce of ecclesiasti
cal benefices.

LATEST FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
Eastpoiit, April 10.
By the Lion, Woodward, arrived at this port
yesterday, from Trinidad, we received from a
very intelligent gentleman, at tins place, and
who very recently returned from the theatre of
war, the following brief abstract of the latest in
telligence from Venezuela.
Port-Spain , April 15, 1819.
Late dispatches received at Augustura, from
general Paez, dated the 15th ult. announced the
retreat of the Spanish army over the Aranca.—
Morillo, after an ineffectual attempt to bring Pa
ez to a general action, was rapidly retracing his
slips towards the Apure. liis object is to re
gain the cultivated country, finding it impossible
to draw supplies from the plains, in which he
was harassed continually by 2500 cavalry. The
detachment lie had sent out in quest of subsist
ence, had been uniformly cut off by Paez’s cav
alry; and, from the time of crossing the Aranca
till that of his recrossing jt, and marching as far
as Conception, Morillo had lost 1400 men, and
a field piece, lie had circulated (in writing) a
boastful proclamation to Varenos, or inhabitants
of the plains, dated the sth, to w hich Paez had
replied by a keenly satirical address (by w,ay of
comment) on the. 15th February.
The artillery and infantry, (2000) left .on the
island before Urbuna, in the Oronoco, were pro
ceeding by forced marches to re-unite themselves
with Paez. They will he reinforced by 420
English and Irish soldiers, it having been Boli
var’s intention to await there the arrival of 2000
English, daily expected, See. General Bolivar
set out from Augustura, on the 27th ult. on his
return to the army.
Colonel Hursler’s regiment, and the remain
der of colonel English’s expedition, are looked
for daily. They will probably be associated
with the 600 landed at Margaretta, whither gen
eral Urdanncta and Y'aldcz, colonel Needham,
(the adjutant general of that division) have gone
with about 60 English sailors; who w'ill assist in
manning gun-boats or other vessels. Associated
with 500 Margalitanians, Kc. they will make a
descent upon the coast at , and form a junc
tion with the division collected in the provinces
of Barcelona and Cumana, to be commanded by,
general Marinos, Surazas, Monagas, and per
haps Bermudez’ forces will constitutethisarmy.
Monagas was at the point of death from an at
tack of fever. Newt; of decisive operations may
be looked for from day to day. Should these
forces not complete the object of independence,
1 though the supposition is improbable, the troops
to arrive from England will unquestionably expel
the remnant of Murillo’s corps from Venezuela.
This w ill be a work of the greater facility, as
Morillo has above 400 miles of plains to traverse,
exposed continually to the enemy’s cavalry, bis
ow n being annihilated, and not a head ofcattle in
j his camp.
) The congress was deliberating on various reg
: uiations, and on a fundamental law, or constitution,

dad papers to the 13th ult. but they contain no
thing of importance.

EXTRACT OF A I.ETTER, DATED
*V/. Thomas, March 30, 1819.
“By a vessel just arrived fron Curracoa, news
had been received by a vessel arrived there from
Carthagcna, that trie governor of Panama had
written to the governor of Carthagena, for all
the forces he could muster for Ins succour, as he
dreaded an instant attack from the independent
army, which after having taken Lima, 1 * was
then advancing rapidly to the northward, no !
doubt to attack his post. It is also stated, that of
the licet which some time ago had sailed from
Spain for Peru, the crew of one vessel had muy
tied, and carried her into Valparaiso; giving in
formation that the rest of the squadron were in
a similar state. On receiving these accounts the
government of Valparaiso immediately despatch
ed the same vessel, together with the rest of the
squadron then in port, to intercept them, which
they accordingly effected; and after exchanging
a tew shot, the whole Spanish fleet joined them.
They immediately proceeded to Callao, under
the Spanish flag, forwarded the despatches, taken
on hoard the squadron, to the vice-roy and de
barked the whole of their forces, which w ere re
ceived with every demonstration of joy.
They immediately set out for Lima, and took
peaceable possession of that city, the government
supposing them to be friends.”
THE PATRIOTS OF VENEZUEL V
A letter dated at St. Croix on’ the sth April,
states, that general Morillo was defeated near
A pure, by the patriot army under the command
of general Paez, on or about the 6th of March.
It was expected that his whole army would be
either captured or killed on their retreat; and it
was believed that this signal victory of the patri
ots would secure the independence of the repub
lic of Venezuela. It was understood at St.
Croix, that 3000 English volunteers had arrived
at Guayana: that Lima had been taken by the
patriots; and that 2000 Spanish soldiers had been
captured at sea by the Buenos Ayrean squadron.

MARSHAL GROUCHY.
A pamphlet in the French language has just
been issued by Marshal Grouchy, containing ob
servations on general Gourgaud’s narrative of
the campaign of 181 5, and a refutation of asser
tions of other writers in relation to the battle of
W aterloo.
An abstract of this pamphlet has been prepar
ed for the Analectic. Magazine—and the follow
ing arc the outlines of the marshal’s case.
and he Prussians began their retreat after the
battle of Ligny, at ten o’clock in the night of the
16th. Marshal Grouchy did not receive hisor
ders to pursue them until noon the next day, at
Fleurus; the several corps of his army could
not he collected and put in motion until 3 p. m.
seventeen hours after the Cherny had left Ligny.
1* rom the official reports, the Prussians retreat
ed with 95,000 men. Gimichy’s force was
32,000. jgjk.
Napoleon w r as ignorant of the direction of the
Prussian columns: he left it to Grouchy to ascer
tain their route, ordering him to complete then
defeat as soon as he should reach them; and to
communicate with him, (Napoleon) who wafe
then advancing to attack the British army.
G rouchy moved to Gembloux, the last of his
corps (Gerard’s) arriving there at ten o’clock on
the night ol the 17th, a distance of about 4 leagues
from Fleurcs: The rain fell in torrents: —his cav
alry detached beyond the town, fell in with the
extreme rear of a Prussian guard of cavalry—
was ordered to pursue them vigorously, and not
to lose sight of them.
Grouchy reported to Napoleon from Gemt>
loux, -which place he left at day-light on the 18th,
pursuing the route of the enemy through’ Sarva
valain towards VVavres; he reported to Napole
on again from Sarravalain; after driving in a
strong Prussian guard, he took post in that part
of the town of VVavres, which lies on the left
bank of the river Dyle, arriving there at about
2 o’clock p. m . his troops not having halted since
they left Gembloux.
During the affair near VVavres, he heard a
cannonade on his left—supposed it was Napole
on engaged with the British—but considered his
duty to operate on the Prussian army, which he
believed to be concentrated before him, to pre
vent their making a movement towards VV rater
loo. Vandamme’s corps, under G’s orders, was
actively engaged during the rest ofthe day in at
tempting to force the passage ofthe Dyle, and
Gerard’s, though with less energy w as making a
similar attempt at Bielge, below; the enemy
crowned the opposite heights, occupied the vil
lage of Bielge and Mill of that name, and ex
tended tuwkrds Liinilette, his position was strong,
and the nature of the ground rendered it difficult
to estimate his numbers. Grouchy was then ig
norant that at day-light, while he w as moving from
Glembloux, Bhrcher had detached from VVavres,
Billow ”s corps, which about the time of G’s ar
my reaching VVavres, were appearing on the
heights ofs Lambert, (5 leagues from VVavres,)
ready to fall upon Napoleon: And, even had the
marshal been apprised ofthe movement, he could
not have prevented it, or have reached Waterloo
in time to have afforded aid to Napoleon, unless
he could have given wings to his soldiers. It thus
appears that the enemy in his retreat had the ad
vance of Grouchy 17 hours—that between 3
o’clock p. m ofthe 17th, and 2 o’clock r. m. of
the 13th, he had marched ten leagues, through
bad weather and bad roads—and that when he
reached VVavres the decisive blow w as striking at
Waterloo:—that he lost no time in his, move
ment is evident; and if ’ their direction was known
and approved by N ano Icon, the censure cast up-.
on the military conduct ot Grouchy are prepos
terous; that point is settl'd by the following ex
pressions in the despatch of Sou It, chief of Na
poleon’s staff, dated from the field of battle, at
one o’clock, p. m.o! the 18th of June.
“M. Le Marcchal—You have w ritten at 2 this
morning to the emperor that you were marching
j upon Saravalain. This movement is in conformi
: tv to the dispositions of hjs majesty, which have
been communicated to you.” ! C.
An important decision was made on Saturday
in the supreme court now sitting in this city, in
I the case of captain Percival, of Boston, am! < ap
: tain Hickey, late commander ofthe British sloop
of war Atalapta.
During the existence of the non-iftlcfcourse
law with Great-Britain in May, 1810, the schoon
er Mary was fallen in with on her return voyage,
by the above doop of war, then in company w ith
the frigate Cleopatra, and after an obstinate chase
from early in the afternoon until between 8 and J
o’clock in the evening, the sloop of war came
sufficiently near to bring the M. to —ami after her
sails were down, except the j ib ami foresail, with a
light hoisted, she w as run a midships by the sloop
of war, and in a very short time after—the
captain and crew saved themselves on board the
sloop of war. She had on board a valuable car
go, am! considerable specie, owned by captain
! Percival. who had not time even to save his pa
. pers or wearing apparel. During our late war
with Great Britain, captain Hickey was transfer-
a command on the lakes, and at the con
clusion of peace, on his passing through New-
York, on hi return to England, was arrested at
the suit gs captain Percival.
The trial comineiieevl on Thursday morning,
and after a patient investigation by an intelligent
jury for 3 k days, the verdict was rendered in favor
of captain Percival for §29,754 9 4 cents and
costs. Wells and Ogden, counsellors, were bail
foh the defendant. —.V. York Gaz. April 19.

Yelfohv Stone Expedition. —Preparations to
render this expedition powerful and imposing,
are going forward in every part of our country.
Troops are marching for St. Louis from Plafts
burg, from Detroit, and various other quarters.
Thy symptoms of hostility which have been ex
hibited by some of the Indians, have determined
the government to send such a number of men
as will render opposition fruitless, and strike a
lasting dread into the men of the forest. It is
probable that 900 or 1000 men will ascend the
river, a large portion bf whom will return as soon
as fortifications shall have been erected capable,
of resisting, with a small force, any attack which
may be apprehended at that distance in the w il
derness. With these troops w ill ascend three or
four steamboats, laden with provisions, arms and
ammunition.
The expedition to the St. Peters, will start
probably belore that to the Yellow Stone.
These expeditions are of immense importance
to the western country in a two-fold view. They
will drive foreign influence out of the adjacent
Indian TQbes, and protect our frontiers from sty
vage inroads. They will likewise equalize in
some measure the expences of the government
in the various portions of our country, and dimin
ish the continual drain of money from the west to
the east, in consequence of the amount collected
by government for the sale of public lands.
