"LAGUIRA, July 20.
"A large force has been sent out from Spain to quell the Patriots. They began to windward, and as they proceeded, submission met them without any fighting; and having placed royal garrisons in all places so far as they have gone-levying contributions on strangers and inhabitants, as they wanted supplies for their forces-they a few days ago, sailed from Puerto Cavello or Santa-Martha, in order to reduce Carthagena. While here they seized every cargo of every nation. After much detention, some of the claimants have obtained one third of their amount in produce at government prices; the other two thirds to be paid in the same way in three and six months."
