the article of muskets in particular,

Spaniards) to pay down for as many as

ra ii make sure and lucrative speculati
ons in said article to Angostura, where
thev may depend upon receiving ready
money for any quantity tiiey may be in
duced to export. I never would thus
publicly advance my opinion in favor of
such expeditions to that country, unless
I W ere fully and amply justified in so
doing ; and that, without exposing any
I 'enterprising individual of my native land
to be disapointed in such a traffic, and 1
would be willing to take the responsi
bility of its success upon my own shoul
ders.
By the arrival of the convoy from La
Guayra two days ago, a variety of vague
rumors are iu circulation, but no posi
tive reliance can be placed oa them.
Amongst others, it has been asserted to
me by a passenger who came in said
convov, that General Morillo has been
• killed' in an nction, very lately fought
between Calabo/.o and St. Fernando,
mid that in order to prevent such mourn
ful intelligence from being circulated
amongst the Plebs, they have occasioned
some individual to assume his name.—
Certain it is that the inhabitants of Cur-
raccas, kc- were ordered to put on ge
neral mourning for the death of some
distinguished personage, and which they
they still wear. It is certain too that the
Royalists are aware of their approaching
destruction, and are taking every step to
facilitate their emigration, when they
find themselves attacked by the great
army under Bolivar, from the interior.
The audience of Caraccas, have sent all
their archives, kc. to La Guayra, care
fully packed up, and ready to embark at
a moment’s warning, kc. When the
blow is given, which will be very short
ly, it will be spontaneous and decisive :
and you may expect from day to day to
learn the faic of the Dons ol Morillo.—
A great number of Spaniards dare not re
turn again hence for La Guayra, as they
dread the result of this last rencounter.
The expedition has not yet sailed from
Mars-aritta, evidently because Gen. Bo
livar has not advanced upon Caraccas,
for the reasons as before assigned—
Whenever it departs, 1 am confident, as
I stated to you in my last, that its desti
nation is La Guayra or its vicinity,to co
operate with the Grand Army of the In
terior, which is now said to amount to
nearly 10,000 men, and the Spanish sol
diers of Morillo daily desert to increase
their numbers. The Spaniards make a
great ado about the taking and destroy
ing of several small vessels, canoes, kc.
which they say two of their Flecheras
from Cum ana found at Guiria in “ Golfo
Triste,” amounting, by their accounts
to twenty-two in number, with clothing.
kc.—whereas, I can assure you, that
there were only three or four old large
canoes that transported some troops from
Guayana down the Orinoco to Guiria,
and there safely landed—this occurrence
is therefore, of the most trilling conside
ration, notwithstanding all that the Roy
alists may H’ish to make out of it.
While writing this, a vessel has arriv
ed at Trinidad and brings the important
intelligence that Gen. Paez has cut oil
Gen. La Torre on his route to join Mo
rillo, and that Gen. Bolivar dispatched
GOO infantry and 300 cavalry to reinforce
Paez, who will inevitably destroy. La-
torre, near Merida, whose forces are
far inferior to those of the former. A
portion of the Province of Barinas, has
been occupied bv the Independants, and
Bolivar advancing again upon Calabo-
zo, with all his Army—ergo, he has re
ceived arms. You may calculate shortly
to receive great news from me relative
to these late movements, or perhaps
sooaer from some other quarter.”
St. Thomas, March 28, 1820.
“ As the vessel, which ought to have
conveyed the foregoing of the 18th, al
tered her port of destination, I hasten to
advise you of what news we have since
then received here from Angostura,
Margarita; kc.
“ From Angostura we receive very
flattering news, as late as the 1st instant.
Two friends of mine have arrived here
from thence, Jv. from them I have learned
wlut 1 communicate to you from that
quarter, & which may be relied on. The
army of Apure consists of 7000 men, not
entirely armed; but ere this, will be
completely so, under the immediate
comand of Gen. Paez. The army of
reserve at Cucutu, commanded by Gen.
Ardaneta, amounts to 5000 effective
•can, 45()o infantry and 500 cavalry ;
perfectly disciplined and equipped. In
the province of Cumann, the forces a
mount to 1500 men, under the command
°f Gen. Bermudez, who has been appoin
ted captain-general of Guayana, Cumann
and Barcelona, in the room of Gen. Ar-
ismendi, who retires to private life'—
Headquarters at Maturin. There are
other small divisions in St. Diego, in the
Province of Barcelona, of 500 men,
‘eaded by Gen. Monegas ; and at t{,ue-
rada Ronda, in the province of Currac-
?? *• °r 700 more, under the orders ol
acneraU Zarazaand Cedeno.
“ Gen. Bolivar marched from the A-
pure the 25th of January, mid the pre
cise plan of hi* operations is known to
none but those who are to execute
them. This is very proper, for secre
cy in military movements, has generally
been attended with more important re
sults. However, it is certain, that his
plans nre grand, and must have been ex
ecuted by the 15th of this month.—
Maracaybo, Rio do Madia and St. Mar
tha, are the points against which the at
tention ol that indefatigable and active
general is, 1 believe, actually directed ;
and ere this, must have fallen into the
patriots hands, although th.it general
should not have personally co-operated
against those places. (Jen. Urdaneta’s
army attacks these points, of whose suc
cess we hourly ought to learnt, and then
it will be, that all the armies of the re
public will descend like a flood upon the
coast, and drive the hirelings of tyranny
nto the ocean. Three thousand mus
kets were despatched from Angostura
to Bolivar, previous to the departure of
my friends.
FROM SPANISH AMERICA.
Extract of a letter from a Royalist in T.a-
guira, dated 1 tith March, to a respectable
merchant in this city.
“ Bolivar having abandoned all the points,
leaving a small garrison In Guiana, came to
San Fernando de Aptira, where he assem
bled ail his forces, amounting t»» 5000 men,
with intent to march upon Caraccas. Mo
rillo was prepared to meet him, with the
royal force consisting of 2500 horsemen and
3.'j0() infantry, all well equipped. Bolivar
however thought to intimidate him by his
former successes. But at the moment he
intended to attack Caraccas, lie received
intelligence that Calsada had united all the
Royal troops in Popayan, and retaken San
ta Fe, in the month of January, and that the
aspect of affairs was entirely changed in that
country. Bolivar on receiving this news
immediately retired with his troops. This
campaign, which was expected to have been
bloody, will pass off without firing a gun.
They threatened us from Margaretta with a
squadron of nine vessels, having on board
000 Englishmen ; but the royal squadron of
2 corvettes, 2 brigs, 2 sloops of war, and 2
schoonars, which sailed trom Porto Cabcllo,
has blockaded them at I’ainputnr.”

“ In pursuance of the instructions em
braced in it,* 1 proceeded to name to bis
Lordship (Castlereagh) the Emperor of
Russia, as the sovereign to whose de
cision the government ofthe United Sta
tes desired ‘hat the difference between
the tw o countries respecting the slaves
might be referred ; reminding him ofthe
provisions contained in the fifth article
of the convention of October, 1818,
upon this subject. He replied, that he
would lay the proposal before his royal
highness, and furnish me, at r.s early a
day as iu his power, with an answer.”
Extract of a tetter from Mr. Rush to the

London, 21st Jan. 1820.
“ I received a note from Mr. 1’lanta,
inviting me to call at the foreign office
yesterday at 3 o’clock. I went accor
dingly. He acknowledged, on behalf of
Lord Castlereagh, the receipt ofm.v note,
saying that his lordship would appoint a
time for seeing me as soon ns he returned.
He then proceeded to make two com
munications, which 1 lose no time in
transmitting for the information oi the
President.
Fisrt. He said that he had been in
structed by lord Castlereagh to make
known to me, in general terms, that his
lordship had already taken the command,
ofthe Prince Regent, as to the point in
controversy between tlie two govern
ments respecting the slaves; and that his
royal Highness acceded to the Presi
dents desire, that the true construction
ofthe treaty of Ghent, in this particular,
should be referred to the decision of the
Emperor ol Russia.
His lordship, desirous that I should
be apprized at once ol this assent, would
not leave town without leaving the pro
per instructions for my being so. On his
return, lie would, Mr. Plantu subjoined,
suggest to me such official steps as it ap
peared to this government proper that
both parties should take to carry into
effect their mutual desire. I shall wait
these further suggestions from his lord
ship, and have the honor to convey them
to you in a despatch the moment they arc
made known to me. Meanwhile, 1 will
apprize Mr. Campbell of his Royal high

* Despatch No. 18, of Nov in, 1810, from the
Secretary of Stole to Mr. ltusli.
Navy Commissioners’ Office,
I7//i January, 1820.
Sir—-The Board of Navy Commission
ers have boon honored by your commu
nication of the l ltli instant from the ho
norable Stevenson Archer, chairman of
the committee of Naval Expenditures of
ihe House of Representatives, viz:—
“ might not the appropriation for the
gradual increase ofthe Navy he dimin
ished without detriment to the public
service,” and requiring their attention to
the same.
In reply, the Board beg louve to ob
serve, that all the live oak necessary for
the frames and other parts required ofthe
completion of the ships authorized by
law, has been contracted for, and the
greater part delivered ; the residue is
now cut or cutting, and will be delivered
during the present or early in the ensu
ing year ; all of which, by the terms of
ttic contracts, is to be paid for on deli
very. That the greater part ofthe white
oak and pine timber and plank necessary
for the constructions of said ships, has
also been contracted for, and a con
siderable part delivered ; the residue to
be delivered in the ccure ofthe present
year. A large proportion of the iron, and
nearly all the copper, has been contract
ed for, received and paid for. The hitter
articles being of an imperishable nature,
might lie stored and kept for any period,
without fear of deterioration. It would,
however, be subject to misapplication ;
which experience has taught that no pre
caution can effectually prevent. As re
gards the timber, the Board can, from
past experience, speak positively, that
a large proportion of it would, in a short
time, if exposed as it necessarily would
be, to the influence of the weather, be
come altogether unfit for naval purposes.
To obviate this difficulty, it would he
necessary to erect store houses for the
preservation ofthe timber, the expnnce
of which would be very considerable ;
and for the preservation ofthe ships noiv
on the stocks, it will be necessny, if the
building is suspended, to erect houses
over them, similar to those erected over
the ships at Sackett's Harbor ; and this
item alone would render an expenditure
of 140.000 dollars necessary.
Taking into consideration the existing
state of preparation—the progress al
ready made—the loss that would actually
occur to the government—the length of
time that it would require to reorganiz
toe different yards, for the purpose of
carrying into effect the law for the “ gra
dual increase of the navy,” if it should
hcreafier lie required—.is also the nu
merous and valuable mechanics ia the
various branches employed in the dif
ferent navy yards, that would he disper
sed, the Commissioners are induced to
believe, that', on the. score of economy
alone, the building of the ships should
not be suspended ; in which case, the.
sum appropriated will he necessary, and
will not bear to be diminished.
1 have the honor to be, kc.

We arc informed that the Sec’ry of War
lias instructed Governor Cu,3, to proceed up
i exploring tour to the north western ex
tremilv of Lake Superior, and thence to the
loads of the Mississippi, and by the way of
Prairie du Cliicri and Green Bay to Luk

No part of the U. States is less known’than
the country upon this route. We depend, for
our information respecting it, almost wholly
upon the reportsofiudian traders. Itiscer-
tain.y time that the important geographical
ltd political questions coma i ted v. itji it were
atisf.teloiiiy"solved. It has long been known
that large masses of virgin (.'upper are to lie

treasures could then he used for important

We are glad to see that Mr. Calhoun pur
sues, with zeal and ability, the necessary
neasurcs for obtaining correct knowledge,
il'tlie remote sections of our country. He
bus probably carried into the v.ar depart
ment the same opinions which distinguished
him in Congress, upon questions of internal
improvement. With the practical views of
in enlightened statesman, in appears anx
ious to have our immense unsettled frontiers
explored for purposes of general infnrm.itifm
as well as for thcacconqdishniefit of objects
more immediately connected with his de
partment. An ignorance of the geography
of their own country' ought not to be tiie re
proach of Americans.
We understand that the gentlemen attach
ed to this expedition, will leave here soon
ifior the opening of the navigation, in birch
canoes. This mode of conveyance is not
only the most economical, but it is also best
adapted to the country, and will enable the
tourists to explore, in their passage to Lake
Superior, the American shore uf Lake Hu
ron, w hich is, perhaps, nut better known
than that of the former.
We are not yet informed who will accom
pany Governor Cass in his contemplated
tour, but if he lias the privilege of choosing
his assistants, we shall, from a knowledge
of his ability and enterprise, tie sanguine in

nature, equal to, if not surpassing e\ rn those

RECORDER.
Nf.w-York, April 4.
Domestic Maim fact a re.—We have this
day seen a superb Sword, made at the
factory of Mr. Starr iu Middletown, Con.
in obedience to a vote of Congress. The
actual cost of this sword is one thousand
dollars, and it is believed, that a more
superb article ofthe kind was never seen
in this or arty other country. We shall
endeavor to give a brief description of it.
On one side of the hilt are the arms
ofthe United States; on the other the
followingineription : “ Voted by the Con

liichard M. Johnson, in testimony of their

{0/“ The Spanish minister, Vlvr.s, having
arrived at Washington, expectation w ill be
on tip-toe till the purport of his instruction*
shall be made known. The Washington Ci
ty Gazette says, “ it is reported that he is the
bearer of the ratification of the. Spani eh Trea
ty, ceding the Ploridas to us—and the expla
nations required are very unimportant." It
is very likely this is the fact—yet if it be not
so, the urrivalofthe Spanish Minister before
the adjournment of Congress, is a fortunate
circumstance; if, contrary to expectation,
Spain shall have determined not to ratify the
treaty, or shall require ns an equivalent for
doing it, some unreasonable concession front
us, Congress will he on the spot, and can
promptly adopt energetic and decisive mea
sures.
05* Ris out to be regretted, that the at
tempt st Washington to procure a caucus
nomination (by the members of Congress)
of President and Vice-President, lias failed.
The people we believe have never much ap
proved of this practice, which looks a good
deal like a usurpation of power, never grant
ed, nur intended to be granted, by constitu
ents to their representatives. Objectionable
as it has ever been, this assumption of pow
er is more so oflate, since it has become fash
ionable for these devoted servants of the
people to desert their duty k. their employ
ers, whenever they get a chance to slip into
n fat office. In a late list of Executive ap
pointments, w e find two members of the
present Congress have been made Receivers
of Public Monies—no doubt very snug births
thesis hard times—and why should mem
bers of Congress, who are on the spot,-and
can so conveniently fish for these lucrative
appointments, suffer them to fall into the
hands of ‘others lees patriotic than theim

(5^ There is but one opinion, so far as

remarkable, as Mr. F- is distinguished for his
suavity of tamper and urbanity of manners.
Shall w e endeavor to reconcile this apparent
inconsistency' by supposing ids instructions
warranted the tone of asperity iie assumed
at Madrid ; or by attributing that unpleasant
manner, so unusual to him, a:: the result of
bis chagrin at finding his well-founded ex
pectation of a speedy ratification ofthe trea

ters were not sent to the Senate or House

than those whifch have been published.” The

Washington, April 10.
Wc have not received, from authority, any
account of what look place at the meeting of
Members of Congress on Saturday evening
last, convened, by public notice, for the
purpusc of considering the expediency of ma
king a nomination of suitable persons as can
didates for the Presidency and Vice Presi
dency ofthe United States. We learn, gene
rally, that the Meeting was thin, about fifty
members only being present. The evening
indeed was one of the most unfavorable for
the meeting that could he imagined, pouring
of rain tile whole time. Mr. Xtison, ofVirg.
was called to the chair; and it was determin
ed, in effect, but in what form we know not,
that it was inexped.ent for the Members then
assembled to proceed to make a nomination.
General Vives, the Envoy Extraordinary
from Spain, yesterday arrived at the Frank
lin Hotel in this citv.—A at. hit.
lion of suitable per:, ms to fill the oflW s of
President and Vice President of the United
States.
Resolved, That this meeting he nbjourned,
sine die.
Above our readers have, from the proper
authority', an Account of the proceedings of
t lie meeting of Members oft’ongrew on Sa
turday ex cning last. We will add nothing to
it, but that, wc understand, the Delegations
front several of the States held separate
Meetings in the course of Saturday, and de
termined not to attend the meeting. For
xample, we have understood, that no mem
ber was present from North-Curblinn or
Pennsylvania ; two only front Virginia, and
one or two only from Massachusetts. It is
not believed, however, that hostility to the
'metier of making nominations was.lhe on-
y motive which led to this determination.
Some have imputed blame to the gentle
man who called this meeting—very unjustly,
iu our \ iew. I Te was, we know, urged to do
it by some among the most respectable Mem
bers of Congress ; and, according to usage—
if precedent governs in n case, the very ex
istence of which depends on precedent—lie
could not well have declined a compliance
with such a request as was made. The cha
racter of Gen. Smith is a sufficient guaran
tee l’or the correctness of his intentions.
It seems to us there never was n time
when a caucus was so little called for at
Washington as (lie present. Mr. Monroe
will be the next President. This seems
to be given up on all hands. Mr. Tomp-
ti8 will be the Vice President, if he
chooses—hut suppose him elected gover
nor of N. \ ork, shall the candidate be
Mr. Rush, or Mr. Clay, or who ? Is it
worth while to provide for such a con
tingency—or even il'tlie vacancy had ac
tually occured to resort to such tin expe
dient, to supply it ? We decidedly think
not. But if acaucus were expedient, we
dislike the way in which it is summoned.
8. R. Bradley once called a caucus, iu a
sort of burlesque way, as continued Pre
sident of tier caucus! but the annunciation
of Gen. Smith is too serious to be passed
over m silence. Such precedents must
not grow into principles—or else our con
stitution becoms radically changed. We
deprecate this call, as well as the manner
ol it. If a caucus be necessary now,
when will it not be so ? or when are we
to do without this suspicious machinery
.it Washington ? Let tts not too conceal
the fact, that for the first time it is an
nounced by this notice at Washington, that
parties are jumbled together and the old
lines obliterated. But mi// this Caucus be
attended, as usual ? Gen. S. may “ call
spirits from the vasty deep.” But will
they come, when lie docs call them't We
suspect there will be some falling off.
Very few from Virginia, kc.
The National Intelligencer says “ that
with an eve to the election of a President,
a legislative nomination does not appear
at present to be called for.” “ The pre
sent was an occasion when, if ever, a con

incline to wish it had been. Congress
is not the tribunal to which the constitu
tion w as intended to refer the decisiou
of such questions.”—Enquirer.
