FROM LA GUAYRA.

Extract of a letter from La Guayra, to a respectable house in this city, dated November 17, 1820

I wrote you some time ago of the brightest prospects of peace for this afflicted country, but I have now to inform you that there is not the least hope of any thing of the kind; my sanguine expectation in the above, was excited by what was circulated here as official documents—but I am now satisfied that it is preposterous to attempt to obtain correct information here of the state of this war, as both parties make and mutilate documents, to suit their own views, which they publish as official.

It was said in those documents, that Bolivar desired peace, even at the cost of the Republic—it is now said that he demands guarantees for the country that he is already in possession of and the surrender of other provinces, and an armistice until the Cortes can be heard from. But the Royalists being in possession of all the most valuable part of the country with armies in good discipline, it is well known will agree to nothing of the kind

Whilst these negotiations were going on, Morillo put his army in motion against the main body of Bolivar's forces; it is therefore certain, that an important battle has taken place before this, or that Bolivar is not sufficiently powerful to meet his enemy....It is no doubt known with you that the operations of the Patriots have all failed against the provinces of Carthagena, Cora, and Maracaybo.
