L TLR STL L. From the Curracoa Gazette. By the arrival of the British brio;- Mary-Ann, capt Wood, from Puerto abello, o ;ue enabled to lay before our leaders some authentic particulars relative to the late expedition which arrived from Spain of which we have heard so many contradictory accounts. It appears then, that it consisted of two frigates of 3 I guns each a sloop of war of 22 guns, and 30 transports, several of which were armed en flute convoying 3,500 troops, the whole having disembarked at Cumana about the end of May. Early in uiu. gen. Moiillo arrived at umuna in the sloop of war Baylen, of 24 guns, accompanied by the brigs Perignon and Jacintha, of 18 guns each ftei having taken the command of the army) and having subdued Carriaco Cumanacoa, & Campano gen. Mori Ho returned to Cumana, leaving garrisons of Creole troops to protect the conquered places. Col. Ximints lias been sent with 600 men to attack Guira, w ere some patriot forces had retired. T.use dispositions ha hie. been made, the troops from Spain were re-embarked on board the transports, and accompanied by the vesseis of war set sai foi rr.e island of Cod e, where col. Ah ame, who commanded 2d division from Barcelona, ha, mir joined gen Morillo the whole proceeded against Margaiitta. A landing wis effected at Fort North. Wh re the Patriots made some resistance T!e Spanish loss is stated at 9 men killer., and 3 officers wounded, the utriots losing at the same time three hundred and fifty men Gen Morillo sent a fiae ot luce into ram pat ar, and it is asserted that me officer who carried it was put to death. The place was immediately stormed and taken with very litte resistance, there being only two guns in the fort. Accoiding to the last accounts r eceived in Puerto Cabeflo, the paniards were in possession of the whole island, with the exception of the mountainous parts where the Patriots had fied

gence received there by late arrivals from Cumana and Margaritta, which ouf readers will perceive is in direct contra diction to what we published in our last rei tive to the success of gen Moriilo. Under such circumstances we h ve experienced much difficulty in stating the posture of affairs on the Main, but whether in the present case the accounts of the one party should be believed in preference to those of the other, we s all leave it to the judgment of our readers to determine. T .e expedition directed by gen. Morillo against Margaritta has met wit) an Unfavorable issue. He had succeeded se far in landing a considerable number of troops near the bank of the Arenas, at the same time that his squadron wa, menacing Pampatar. The people of Margaritta conceived this to be a scheme of the enemy, in order to conceal theii real intent, which was safely to effect a landing, left a garrison at Pampatar, sufficient to annoy their operations lb this quarter, and inarched with the greater pait of their forces to meet the invaders, who had introduced themselves by way of Arenas ; after fortifying their heights w ith some good corps of reserve, the ndepmdents pushed forward M(0rds the shore, posted themselves in ambush, and suffered the enemy to advance unmolested, until they were caught in the centre, in the middle of two fires. u The surprise of the enemv w as such, that according to the accounts of the Patriots, they suffered .a most extraordiU nary and sanguinary defeat, and fled iu great disorder. Xheir loss is stated a
