when they appropriated money for the
purpose of making those roads, intend-

guch materials, and in such a manner,
that they could be travelled upon by,
and accommodate every description of
people : as well the farmer with bis

conceive too, thdt the convenience off
the farmers ought to be first consider-

Curracoa, June 15th, 1822.

the Spanish frigate Ligera saw her
convoy safe into Porio Cabello in

The brig of war Hurcules remaining
gutside was attacked by the Colom
bian vessels, who immediately desisted
upon perceiving the frigate going out
to the assistance of her consort.
By the last accounts the Spanish
vessels were anchored off Panto Bra-

several columns which I ordered to
advance on the enemy, I succeeded in
completely routing them, and dispers-
