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 part of w hit h was from the U. States. Price of stocks at London, April I—3 per cent, consols, 74 3-4 7-8; ditto for account, 75 1-8, 74 1-8; 5 per cents, 105 to 105 1-8. 1 he ship Union, Oxnard, ol Boston, front Ba tavia, and last from St. Helena, for Cowes, was spoken 16th March, in lat. 47, 37, lon. 8, 33, by ; an arrival in England. She reported that a very hail fever had broken out at St. Helena, which had proved fatal to the crews of the stationed ves sels. Bonaparte was well. Le tters from Madrid to the 9th March, re ceived at London, mention that the Spanish mer chants had agreed to pay a certain amount an nually to tin government for the repeal of the increased duties. St. Jean d'Angely, who had obtained permis sion to return to France, arrived in Paris, March 10, and died the tiny after of the gout in the sto mach. 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. in the British house of commons, after a very interesting inquiry, a debate on the petition against the lion.

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, tube proposed to the people for their approbation. This is the substance of the latest news. More | important events w ill soon challenge more re gard than this hasty'epitope. We also received by the above vessel Trini dad papers to the 13th ult. but they contain no thing of importance. Communicated for the Philadelphia Gazette. 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. —Baltimore Patriot. From the Philadelphia Franklin Gazette. 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. tm* i ag ‘ Frankfort, Kentucky, April 6. 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. v For sale A NEGRO MAN, named JACK, belor. ging to the . estate of Solomon Morgan, deceased, lie is about thirty years of age, and a good field hand.
