La Guayra, April 22</, 1022,
Dispatches have been this moment re
ceived from Coro, communicating the
welcome intelligence that Gen. Morales,
ro attempting the reduction of that neigh
borhood, has been suddenly surprised
by three divisions of the Raliiot army,
and i* awakwnrdly placed in the centre
of a triangle, which they form. His re
turn to Porto C'abello, or to any place of
etnburcatidn, being thus intercepted
there can be little doubt that his capture
will precede the immediate capitulation
of the last resting place of Spanish
power on this continent, and the con
quest of that dreadful dungeon of Spanish
despotism.
You may safely predict the fall of Por
to Cabello in 2 or 3 months : should this
event be deferred, it will be imputable
only to the inactivity, not to the impotence
of ihe Colombian general. Americans

United Slates to reclaim this properly,
or secure indemnification bv reprisals

The Ranger is to sail to-day, and 1
hope she may not follow the Calypso to
Porto Caliello as a prize. By the Ca-

Cakaccas, April 23d, 1822.
Fubsequently however, to the last
number, we have received intelligence
that Cutnaribo, near the Oela of Coro,
ha- been occupied by Col. Pinango. On
ihe 10th inst. Morales avas at Alta Gra-
rii, near Maracaybo, with his army, but
he ran make no attempts on that city by
land, and must embark if he contemplates
an attack ; k as he has neither boats nor
vessels to put in execution Ids designs,
he must shortly he cut up and annihilat
ed by the patriot armies on either side
of him.
In'the Maracaybo papers, received by the
Rally, an official statement is given of Ihe
present population of the Republic of Colom
bia, which is nearly equal to that of the If
ni - ed .States, at the period of the declaration
nf independence. It is staled that the seven
(1 'jiartments, of Oronoco, Venezuela, Zu-
li.i, Bovaca, Cundinimai ca.Cauca, and Mag
dalena. including S3 Provinces, contain
£,014,000 inhabitants. Each department
i> entitled to four Senators, making 23, and
the Provinces, to 73 Representatives,
The population of Panama and Verngofis,
is 110,000. They are entitled to 3 Repre
sentatives.
The population of the seven provinces of
Qiitn, is estimated at SiiU,000, anil when
ils Independence is established, will have

A I’EEP AT MEXICO.
vnn-.l Tile KENTUCKY COMMENTATOtl.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in
Mexico, to his brother in Franklin
County, Ken. rioted,
City oi Mexico,.Tan. 0, 1822.
,l It is now n year since I have had
any certain opportunity of writing to
the United States, being in the sen ice
of the republic of Mexico, I have been
dearly all that time on march and hard
duty, and have travelled over the great-
ci part of this beautiful country. lam
torry that, for want of lime, I cannot
send you a copy of my journal, which
would probably give you a better idea
of the country than any geography of it
you have road. On the 25th of August,
1 left the province of Texas on hoard an
armed schooner of the same name, in
company with Gen. Trerpalacies, and
suit, for Catnpnnchy, where we arrived
on the 28th of October, and but a few
days after its inhabitants had declared in
fivor of independence. On landing we
were received ns friends, and ill! the
military honors where paid the General
which were due to his rank. From that
place wc proceeded by land to VeraCruz
a distance of five hundred miles, through
a very fertile hut hilly country, which
had previously declared independence ;
tinny bountiful river? empty into tile
Rolf on the const, the hunks of some of
which are densely inhabited by Indians
and Spaniards ; 1 ascended the river
I nbasco about twenty leagues : the soil
in that part of the country through which
Ibis river runs, is more productive than
| any in Mexico ; it produces the sugar
cane, iRiflee, and the fruits of every o
'bet climate ( the forest trees arc chief
ly logwood, rnalioguey, mid Spanish ce
dar. The people living on (he banks of
the river nrn not very healthy ; whilst
ascending it t could fcrnrr.ely hear my
self speak, owing to the chattering of the
parrots and monkoys. On the 12th of
November, we arrivud at the largo city
of Vera Cruz, which is well fortified by
a strong stone wall, and defended by a
quantity of heavy artillery : it is situat
ed immediately on the shore, at the dis
tance of one mile from which, in the sea,
stands a castle of immense, strength,
which is at present in the possession of
the Royalists, notwithstanding its prox
imity to the city ; w hen hostilities com
menced in the? interior, the’wealthy Eu
ropean* and royalists fled to- Vera Cruz,
to which place they were pursued by
the rcpublicn army which bnsieged it,
and being unable to defend the city a-
gainst the besiegers, they abandoned it,
and took possession of the castle, car
rying with them the greater part of the
artillery and all the specie anil other
valuables in the city ; no uttompts have
been made to reduce the castle, nor will
any be made, as the city would sustain
immense injury if a bombardment should
be commenced ; as soon as transports
can be obtained to convey the royalists
in the castle, with their properly, to
Spain, it is said by some it will he. eva
cuated ; others think they only wait the
arrival of reinforcements that they may
co-operate in an attempt to subdue the
republican army and re-establish the
provincial government. It is rumored
that troops are on the way from England,
w ho are to aid in an effor t to effect those
objects, but it is mere report, for we re
ceive no news hero nulhooticatod.
On the 25th of November we arrived
at (lie great city of Mexico, distant from
Vera Cruz about three hundred nnles.
The main road leading from one of these
rities to the other is the host 1 ever (ra
velled, although the country through
which it passes is the most motintaineous
1 ever beheld. Mexico is surrounded
by mountains, some of which are cover
ed with smew all the year ; they afford
a grand and splendid prospect from the
city, where gardens are covered with
flowers and other vegetable productions
at all seasons of the year. I have ate
ripe peaches in the morning at the loot
ol a mountain, and in the evening, after
having passed the mountain, have seen
orchards in bloom
This country produce 0 all the fruits
of the West Indies, as well as those ol
North America ; the apple comes to
great perfection ; the watermelon may
be had every day in the year ; potatoes,
and in fact every tiling that man can wish
for, may be produced here, though the
inhabitants live wretchedly, the city is
tilled with poor ; you are attacked at
every corner of the street by begeers—
large number of whom are. able to
work, but have been raised in indolence,
and ran do nothing except ride or pack
a mule, which is their only mode of
transportation.
I have been informed that at the time
Cortez conquered the city, it contained
two hundred thousand inhabitants, and at
the commencement of the revolution,
one hundred and seventy thousand ; at
this time the population is calculated at
one hundred and twenty thousand, two
thirds of which are Indians, the most ig-
norat, superstitious, and indolent people
I have ever seen—they have been priest
ridden, and king ridden, until they are
neither fit for soldiers, sailors, or citi
zens. 1 have frequently visited the old
palace of Montezuma, and have been
in the room which he tilled with gold to
purchase peace of the Spaniards. I
have likewise seen the large stone that
Montezuma anil his people worship
ped-—this stone is made to resemble the
sun, and is about eight feet in diameter
of solid stone, on which is carved the
figure of all the animals inhabiting this
country—it is now put in front ol the
Cathedral as an ancient ornament. At
this time I inhabit a part of the \ ice
Roy’s palace ; it is a splendid building—
it is calculated to quarter twenty thousand
dragoons ; the lower story is all stables
and granaries—(he second, quarters for
the soldiers—the third, officers of the
government.’’

It is proper that tlie people should umle.r-
stnnil every tiling in its true light ; nml we
therefore mention the following, not from
i cpnrt, hut from fnct.
After the appropriation had been made by
Congress too aids the extinguishment of In
dian claims within this state, the Delegation
from Georgia furnished tlie President with a
list oTseven or eight citizens !c recommend
ing tln-in as Commissioners, it was promis
ed that the selection should be made accord
ingly—but upon enquiry it was found, tlint
a i-ecommondalion had posted on from ano
ther quarto.r: and in consequence, the Se
cretary at War, as “ Homme d'Affaires," to
the President, declined making tile appoint
ments. Now agreeably to tho construction
nf t ie constitution by many persons wiser
than most of us, we doubt if the President
is authorized lo make an appointment during
the recess of tlie Senate ; and if such is the
case, of course, no Indian Treaty can he held,
this summer.
Perhaps other Servants of tlie state are
more, truly our Representatives, than tlie
members which the people have elected to
Congress ! —It often happens with our Poli
ticians, that their ingenuity, like a Pyrome
ter, goes occasionally, beyond the ordinary
length of the metal.—Aug. Chron.

owned by Prince Candy was struck and

The Legislature ofthe state of Con
necticut met at Ncw-Havcn on the 1st

the interposition of the notverful arm of
Smith, Arkansas, and on his way to
Natchitoches, lied River. This gen
tleman informs us that the Cherokee and
Osage Indians arc carrying on a war

party of Cherokee?, consisting of about
80 in number, had been out nu a scout
•about 20 days—that no intelligence of
them had been received at that time—
& it was strongly suspected that they had
been cut off by the Outgoes.—iiepub.
