importance had occurre 0
Varinas, on the 20th or 21st of May, in
which the royalists were victorious. Ic
was impossible for General Morales to at-
tempt the reduction of St. Fernandez (the
principal post of the patriots,) this season;
on account of the rains having commenced
on the Oronokoe, which had everflowed the
plains. Morales had fallen back to Calas
{boza, where it was expected he would re-
main. Morille was still at Valencia; not
having entirely recovered from his wounds:
About the last of :

tack on Cumana. Mis loss was reporte
to have been from 150 to 200 men,
4000 to 5000 men (chiefly colored) was
at St. Fernandez. On the 17th, a patriot
colonel named Moralles, wads led outside
the gates, shot, and afterwards Suspen-
ded from a gallows; and two others
were shot the same day, one at Caraccas,
and the other at Porto Cavello. They
were said to have been taken by surprise in
a battle fought about the Ist of May,
wherein the patriots lost between 5 and 600
men killed and taken prisoners. Morales

Indian News.—THe Indian nations or
this state, present, at this mofhent, a spec-
tacle alike interesting to the Christian, the
Philosopher, the Philanthropist; and the
Statesman. Renouncing the worship of
Dogs* we have heard some of those tribes
confess the name ol GOD, = They have ex»
changed the name of Pagan for that’ of
Christian. Others have requested in their
own inimitable style the story of their grief;
and if we mistake not their language, they
are desirous of a deliverance from the thrals
dom of vice; and the depredations of fiend-
as is in his power to afford.~The Onedian
Indians have formed amongst themselves
an AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY; and
have received a set of the transactions of the
Society for the promotion of Useful Arts
agreeably to the resolution of this society,
awarding to each Agricultural Society
which may be formed in the State 4 copy of
their transaction. It has been remarked;
with respect to savage nations ih general,
that, unaccompanied with agricultural purs
suits, the labour of the missionary is in vain.
But, inder the consciousness of their own
deterioration, it cannot be wondered aty if
yet there are several clans, who, moved
with envy at the rapid increase of white
men in the land of which they were sole
proprietors, may commit unwarrantable
and reflect. The most just, the most mer-
ciful and at the same time the most effect-
ual antidete to this evil would be a desid-
eratum of no small moment. We speak
of justice, and of this there is no better
standard, old fashioned as it is, and we will
venture to add, none more truly politic,
than to do as we, in like circumstances,
would desire to be done to. Do you com-
{plain of the ferocity of the savage Indians?
convert your swords into ploughshares, and
with those subdue them.
