South American NevsFROM ANGOSTURA.

as, we have received the following lateand interesting intelligence of the success of the Patriots. As we know hehas the best means of obtaining the mostcorrect information as regards South A- -

Tnencan ailairs, we can safely ventureto vouch for the authenticity of what herelates. He has also forwarded us abtThomas' Price Current of the 21st ultwhich is published in this day's Gazette.Extract of a letter to the Editor, dated

St. Thomas, January 2 1 .

"Dear Sir The late memorablecampaign of the indefatigable Bolivar,to the kingdom ot New urenada, haslong since undoubtedly been communicated to you thro different channels,

" and would be of but little interest to you,for me to repeat the same in detail.The results of it however, are, and willbe, of such importance to South America, collectively, as to redeem millionsof her sons at a period not far distant,from the ignominious spectre ot despotism and cruelty, and elevate her name'to the first dignity among the civ ilizednations of the world' that of a free andindependent republic. Yes, the nameof Boyaca, like another Bunker's Hill,will be pointed out as the proud spotwhere the satellites of Ferdinand and hisnefaiious tyranny, were conquered andhumbled by the valor of Amei ican prow-ess, and the victorious banners of fiee- -dom, waved triumphant over the fallen,degraded standard of royalty, nevermore to rise. So fatal and desti uctiveWas this battle to the Spaniards, thattheir brave Chieftain and Vice Roy,aamano, ned with the rapidity ot a birdon the wing from his capital Santa Fe,on receipt of the mournful intelligenceFrom the battle ground of Boyaca. Thecity of Santa Fe, shortly aftei wards, re-

ceived with applause and shouts of welcome " vivas the brave and conciuer.ing hero and liberator, Bolivar, who.with the almost unparalelled activity ofa uonaparte, marched with his littleband of patriot wai nors, through a coun-ti- y

intersected by more than a hundredAdeep rivers, which he had to ford, over- -

'cominga thousand unforseen and heartrending obstacles, entering into combatunder the most embairassmg circumstances, defeating regular disciplinedtroops, almost double the number of hisIrojan followers, and at last annihilat

ing the enemy's forces, which were treble hisowu, when he undertook thatar-duousan- d

glorious campaign for the li-

berty of New Grennda, entered its cap- -,... ... ..w uj wt Mniu wj uao lino

inarch from Mantecal, in Venzuela,distance of more than 325 leagues.

" More than thiec millions of dollarsin the king's tieasury, inclusive of theprivate effects of the enemies to thejcaus , were sound in metal on the Independents occupation of that phicc. Thewhole of the Spanish army in New Gre-nrd-

with the exception of 300 men.who effected their escape from its canital headed by the sanguinary Calzada,.were either taken, or sun endei ed themselves prisoners of war, with their gene- -

rakin chief Barreyro, and all his staff,jfifhceis, Sec.

" Tvyo very respectable armic3 wereimmediately embodied, the one for thesouth, and the one for the north, to libe-rate the different provinces in New Gre-vrwd- .a

and Venezuela, and matched oiti e same day, (tu 24th Sept.) for theiirespective points of operations. Aster

"having established a provisionary go- -

Temmuit in Santa Fe, for the saletv of.the kingdom ofGienada, General Boli-'va- r

lest said city at the same time withJthenoithern army, to place himself atthe head of all the republican coips inthe piovince of his native Venezueula,

, and to open a vigorous and decisivecampaign against the blood thiisty Mo-ril'-

and thus terminate a war of tenycais, wnich has cost them upwards ofX5O,000 souls; Ielt thfir country m de-

solation, and its. inhabitants ovcrvvhi-lm-..jciwit-h

hardships and misfortunes, with-- v

Out openly having'Veceived the piotecting hand of any foregn nation or powerWhatever.

" The taking of Santa Fe, by Bolivar,-- produced, as is by electricity, a policial'political revolution thioughout that vast

country ; and before the liberating ai -my should have reached the .capital ofany one oi its pivovinces, its undauntedcitizens effected their glorious emanci- -

- nation, and hurled the sycophants of abase Monarch from their seats of power,aru restored again to independence theviftuous sons of Columbia, awed by thetoo successiui operations oi the exnedi

' tion of Moiillo against Carthagcna inibis, winch occasioned the mtlancholy pss of all that kingdom.

" Bv the last official accounts, font teenprovinces were already in the full enjoy-ment of their rights and privileges, onlyCarthagena and St Martha being in pos-session of the rojalists, which mustin-e- v

uably fall in a sew months, as theytt are without provisions and credit.

"The picsence of General Bolivarbeing required at Angustura, pitvions

st0 ';is, dcscent upon Carraccas and theSeaCcast, he arrived in that city on the11th of December, amidst an admiringcoftcourse of people, who received himWitn every demonstration of joy and c- -

ci, mat tne mind ot man can Imagine'in 17 days he passed frem Pamnlonn. i

' . n:w Grenada, to Guav ana, which has. aevcp been perlormed until now m less

vJ than from 2 s to 30.u The pioiect of the Fnmlimn.ii

La of Columbia, (a tianslation ofWh'.h I have made,) I think is magnan- -taouBand lajsa solid basis" on tfhich'.

to erect the splendid and superb supei-structu-re

of a great, powerful, and respectable republic.

" General Bolivar set out from An-

gustura for his Head Quartets of Apurc,on the 27th ult. and befoie the 20th ofFebruary next, you may expect to heatthat he is in Carraccas, with an army ofmore than 12,500 men; and that Mo-rill-

with the remnant of his forces,will be driven into the fortifications ofjPbito Cabello, where a close and vigo-rous siege will soon terminate his mili-

tary career of cold blooded assassina-tions in those delightful regions.

" I shall immediately go down to LaGuayra and Carraccas, as the) may betaken by the Patriots.

" I send you a price current, which Ihope may prove Useful. The St. Tho-mas newspapers are uninteresting.

P. S. The expedition has not yetsailed from Margaretta, waiting the ar-rival of General Dcveieux; but in casehe should not reach that island in all thismonth, it will depait without him ; andit is my opinion that they have orders tofiioceed direct for La Guayra, to co-o- p

eratc w lth the army from the mtcuor,wnich will be in possession of Caraccasby the middle of Fcbiuary. Maiianovlontilla is the commander in clrcfof

the expedition in Margaretta.

From our valuable correspondent atSt. Thomas' we have 1 eceived a very in-

teresting letter, which will be sound inin this days paper. The union of theprovinces of Venezuela and New Gicnada, is an important event, and promisesthe establishment of a free and mdependent government, under the name or theman who discoveicd, butt did net namethe continentof America. Thcpiomp'tappointment of an Embassador to theUnited States, While it cannot but flatterour pride must also be received as conelusive evidence of the disposition of ourrepublican neghbois to cultivate our es-

teem and deserve our good offices. Wehaveicceived a copy of their decree otthe 1 7th Dtc. and put it in the hands ofour translator.

i del ing the advances.It will b,v proper to be observed that

several 6jtliCg?cI.a-ge- s of the contractorhave nut btei almitted. The chaiitefor the detention of the Johnson and Ex-pedition, pieviousto the sailing of theexpedition up the Missotiti, has beenrefused, on the ground that it was caused, not by any act of the government,on the pan of the contractor; and thecharge for the detention of the Johnson,Lvpedition, and Jeflerson, up the Missouii, owing to the lovvness of its waternot pel mining their return, has alsobeen refused, on the ground that it wasrt.it provided for by contract. Thecnarge for the transpointion on theMissouri has not been admitted, fiom abcliet that the price chaiged is greaterthan what ought to be allowed. Tnescpoints of difference have, under the

contt ad, been referred topcrsens chosen by the as arbitrators ; and it is expected that a decis-ion w ill be had in a sew w ecks.

In relation to the amount of the a --

vanccs, it may be proper to ohseivethat the contiact with col James Johnson extended to the transpoitation of tinroops and militaty stoies to their res

Dear SiiTo prevent the loss, embarrassment,

and disappointment to the governmentand to the country, which would be theinevitable consequence of the failure olthe expedition destined for the monthof the Yellow Stone liver, it will be ne- -

cessaiy to make additional advances. Ihave therefore to request, that you willadvance to col. James Johnson, fiftythousand dollars, on account of the con-tract rrnde by him vvitii brigadier general Jessup, for trjnspoitationon the Mis-sissippi and Missouii rivers, and that anadditional advance of 50,000 be made,vv henever he shall transmit to you atransfer, regularly authenticated, of thesom: steam boats which he has now em-ployed in the expedition to the mouthof the Yellow Stone river, asfuither se-

curity.The people of the whole western

country take a deep interest in the suc-cess of the contemplated establishment?t the mouth of the. Yellow Stone liver.They look upon it as a measure, but i

calculated to preserve the peace of thefrontier, to secure to us the fur trade,and to bicak tip the intercourse betweenthe British traders and the Indians, thanany other which has been-- taken by thegovernment. I take, myself, very greatinterest m the success ot the expeditionand am willing to take gteat responsi-bility to ensure it.

With gredt icspect,I am jour obed't serv't.
