Bv the otheial commum cation of the patriotic general Faez, who commands in Barinas to General Bolivar, dated the 28th of February, we have seen that on the 18th of the same month the royal armv, headed bv Morillo, 1000 infantry and 800 cavalry strong, was attacked bv the republican forces, commanded by Gen. Paez. composed of 1300 cavalry. The cavalry of the royalists were completely routed, and the infantry was obliged to form in solid column in order to secure its retreat to the mountains of A pure; from thence they continued their retreat to the banks of the river San Fernando de A pure and Apunto, xfcitHout the fear of being pursued, as 'the patriotic force in that part was altogether cavalry. The Royal army lost in this engagement 3000 horsf, three drums, a quantity of ammunition, many muskets and carbines, and an im mense number of lances, many prisoners, ami some oi mc ugage of the start The prisoner av that this wa all the forces Morillo tjuk from New Cfrcff
