Trinidad, January 24.
We are in possession of important news from Caracas: Mr. Lindsay, of Grenada, the day before yesterday arrived here from Cumana and Caracas, which last city he left the end of December. He states that confidence in the royal government was restored--that many emigrant families had returned from St. Thomas and Curacoa: among which, we understand, two sisters of the marquis de Toro. Orders had been received from the Spanish cabinet to observe the strictest obedience to the royal pardon of those persons who would wish to return and avail themselves of it. All the families returned were immediately put in possession of their property; and from the known character of the present captain general, brigadier general Pardo, all the emigrants who wish to return to that country may expect an entire compliance with the royal "Indulto."
From two to three hundred houses were rebuilding at Caracas: and at La Guaira, and Puerto Cabello, trade with the neutral colonies, and with Old Spain had greatly revived.
