Curacao, April 18.
By arrivals from La Guayra and Puerto Cabello, whence we expected important news, we have not received any political intelligence of interest. Since the battle of La Puerta, no further operations had taken place; but the Spanish troops were preparing to attack the Patriots, who were still in possession of the town of Carabobo. Gen. Morillo had nearly recovered from his wound, and was soon expected to resume the command. The Spanish troops were supplied with every thing except shoes, which article was momentarily expected from Grenada; while, it is said, the Independents were in want of almost every thing required for carrying on the war.
About 800 prisoners, mostly blacks and Samboes, had arrived at Caracas and La Guayra, and 500 or 600 more were expected.
