Accompanying z letter of general Gaines was e from the British agent, who, Wbtless, possesses the talent if 'Jt the inclination to foment a irit of discord among the Indies, that will tend to their destruc pn. The following is an extract rit will speak for itself. Arbuthnotto the commanding of J fcer at Fort Games, I Okolokn River, March 3. I The head chicfc request that will enquire of you why American settlers are descending the patahouchie, driving the poor Tidiau from his habitation, and :aking possession of his home &

Ms cultivated fields. Without authority, I can claim nothing of you; 'but Jro. mane and philanthropic principles guiding me, I hope the same will influence you and if such is really the case, and that the . line inarked out by the treaty of peace between Qreat Britain and the United States, respecting the Indian nations has been infringed by any of the citizens of . the latter, that you. will represent to them their improper conduct, & preventits continuance, , , "I have in my possession-a letter received from the governor of New Providence, addressed to him by his Britannic Majesty's chief secretary of state, informhim of the orders given to the British ambassador at Washington, to watch over the interests of the' Indian nations, and see that their rights are faithfully attended to, and protected agreeably to the treaty of peace made bet ween , the British and the A mericans. . " I am in hopes that ere this there is arrived at New Providence a person from Great Britain, with authority to act as agent for the Indian nations; and if so, it will devolve upon him to see tht the boundary lines, as marked out by the treaty are not infringed' Nashvili-e June 3. General Jackson and suite left Nashville last week to attend a treaty to be held with the Cherokee Indians at Hiwasse on the 20th inst.' The object is said to ascertain whether these Indians have any title to the district called " Double Head's Reserve," and if they have to procure a relinquishment of it ; and also ascertain if they are willing to sell the land they claim north of the Tennessee river. South American JYews. .,- I. New York. Extract of a letter from the Island of Trinidad, to a gentleman in . this city, dated the 14th of last month. The affairs of, Venezuela are every day assuming a better aspect. By the oflicial communication of the patriotic general Peaz, who commands in Barimas, to Gen! Bolivar, dated the 28th of February, we have seen that on the 1 8th of the same month, the royal army, headed by Morillo, 1000 infantry and 800 cavalry strong, was attacked by the republican forces, commanded by Gen. Peaz, composed of 1 200 cavalry. The cavalry of the royalists was completely routed, and the infantry obliged to form in solid column, in order to secure its retreat to the mountains of Apure ; from thence they continued their retreat to the banks of the river San Fernando de Apure and Apuritto, without the fear of being pursued, as the patriotic force in that part was altogether cavalry. The royal army lost in this engagement 300 horses, 3 drums, a quantity of amunition, many muskets and carbines', and an immense number of lances, many prisoners and some of the

baggage of the staff. The prison, ers say that this was all the force Morillo took from Grenada. The particular situation of the patriot army, and the resources in its power, seems to promise, complete success to " the patriotic cause. By the accompanying bulletins you will see that our cause is progressing by strides in the east part of Venezuela, and that , having once secured Guanzana by our arms, the emancipation of the whole country will be the last result of this painful but glorious task. Copies of several official reports of the Republican Generals From Gen. Piar commanding in the province of Guyana, to Gen. Boliveri supreme chief of the Republic . The inhabitants of the department of Caroni, who till now had taken no part in the war have hastened to offer themselves from the moment they could escape the tyrant. The twenty nine towns of which it consists, are decidedly for the cause of liberty. This country presents the most alluring prospects, on account of its abundance, riches and innocence of the people. The towns jare respectable and the fields well cultivated- Our arms have gained throughout, the most extraor dinary renown, and have procured the utmost respect. I think to continue in this province till the whole of it be free. The enemy is reduced to the last extremity, circumscribed to the 2 Guyanas, deprived of every resource, & terrified. These are advantages which are not always to be met with, & which must not be slighted when once obtained. Head quarters at Alta Gracira, Feb. 10, 1 17. Manuel piar. From the same to the same. We arrived yesterday, the 23d instant, at Pega, and we only met with an advanced post, consisting of six men, who were reconnoitering for the enemy. We took three of them, who acquainted me with condition and strength of Guayana, and that the commander, Torlba, was posted about a league from there; I thereupon determined to march to it with 400 men, and destroy the only enemy who could in any way molest us. I took the necessary measures to take them by surprise, which, altho' not entirely successful, owing to the roughness of the roads and two advanced posts of the enemy, yet he was, however, completely routed, and in such a manner, that only 7 men could return to the fortress of the town. We took 100 prisoners. Upwards 150 men threw themselves into a lake, & I doubt whether 50 of them have been saved : they had many killed and wounded, and the remainder so dispersed in the mountains, that I think it impossible, for them to return to their respective regiments. We have taken from the enemy 600 horses, all their equipments and stand of arms, and the few cattle they had out of the fortress. Head quarters, off Guayana, Feb. 24, 1 8 17. M. PIAR. Report from Gen. Cedeno, acting under the orders of Gen.

Piar, on the south of the province of Guayana, tQ General Bolivar. I have informed your excellent cy of the condition of the coun try in which I have made war, & of the resources it contains to prosecute it. My not receiving; any communication from your excellency on this subject, and the wants which you are in of some of said resources, as evinced by your excellency's official letter of the 10th of January, which coU Beler put into my hands, induces me to apprehend that the correspondence has miscarried ; in consequence whereof, I am obliged to report, that in the province of Cayrara, there are at your excellency's disposal and for the serv ice of the army, 2,000 tame horses, from 30 to 40,000 wild mares, upwards of 1000 mules, and many other valuables, which I have f aken from the enemy,and which now belong to the republic out of which your excellency may order to be sent to that quarter. ,1 Head quarters at Alfa Gracia, Feb. 10, 1817. , v 1 MANUEL CEDENO. :
