Hamilton, (Ber.) Sept. 13. By the Humming Bird, from Trinidad, we have received a full corroboration of the fall of the capital of Guayana. It is about five weeks since the Royalists were driven out of Angostura, by the Insurgent or Republican forces, who are struggling to shake off the Spanish yoke. The Royalists precipitately made their escape, in a ship of 18 guns, 5 gun boats and about 20 other vessels of different descriptions. The Governor arrived safely at Grenada; but the ship which bore the Roman Catholic Bishop, was cast away, on one of the Islands which so numerously abound on the river Oronoco. Great numbers of the refugees sought safety in the British Island of Trinidad, and were pursued by one of the republican cruizers into the gulf of Paria, even under the guns of the forts at Port Spain; which being neutral ground put a step to their further progress. The governor of that colony warned the gun boats and sent them back to the Oronoco, under the British flag, to rescue those who had been cast away, and to afford relief to others who could not find their way out to the ocean, for the labyrinth of islands which render the navigation of that immense river so intricate to all who are unacquainted with it.

The marine force of the Republicans is said now to be very active and formidable, having amongst them several large American built brigs and schrs. officered and manned almost entirely by British and Americans. The whole province of Spanish Guyana, extending northward from the Dutch settlements of Surinam and Essequibo, is in the entire possession of the Republicans, whose cruizers are sufficiently numerous to protect the whole coast.

The east end of the island of Margaretta is held by the Royalists, and all the remainder is occupied by the Republicans. The former lately made an effort to obtain the sole possession of the Island, but were repulsed, and the inhabitants refused to afford them assistance or protection.

We hear nothing of the Spanish Armament which was lately sent by King Ferdinand, for the relief of his South American possessions, and are disposed to believe that the Republicans have little to fear from it. They have no allies-both parties are left to fight their own battles; though the Republicans receive great assistance and reinforcement from enterprising individuals who are daily joining them, principally from the United States.
