The steamer, taking in tow the other two boxts, deserted by their crews, pro- oveded to her former anchorage in Mcichow sound where the Scout had returned after an unsuccessful craize, ‘The last thing seen of the pirate verrel whioh the Pluto first attacked, was out at sea, still busily en- guged returning in gallant etyls the fire of the manda- tins, from whom there is every reasou to believe she escaped.

Fifteen were broug ston board by the bosts, eight wera killed, and a number ao cut up by the shot that no assistance could avail them. ‘The whole of thes» juuks wore destroyed by fire.

Dill, arrived at Philadelphia yesterday, from La Guayra. We have received the following despatches by hér: Barcetona, (Venezuela,) March 1, 1848. We are all ina state of political revolution here, and we expect ere long to find matters more serious, Everything is at a stand; every? thing Wears a serious aspect. The assassination of the members of Congress cannot be easily re- congiled with the party opposed to the adminis- tration; they feel it deeply, and will long remem- ber it. “Old Zack,” or his counterpart, Gen. Paez, is Grganizing an army in Calabozo, to march against the capital, as you will perceive by his message to Congress, and the answer of the two chambers, which I enclose; also, his address to the p#ople. The members sf Congress (I mean the majority, who are opposed to the admint tration) profess to coineide with the Presiden: this 43 policy, where they are subject to be shot down at any moment, aod where every pass from the city is strictly guarded to prevent any escape of the members. But once let Paez enter with an armed foree, and the same Congress will undoubtediy carry their original design into effect of impeaching the President, and they now have double motive for so doing. The country must long remain in an unsettled state, and perhaps along civil war will ensue. | In numbers the party in power have the most, being the colered population, generally a worthless set, who have nothing to lose and everything to wan, by robbing and murdering their more re- spectable aad wealthy opponents. The admin- istration have no money to pay their way, and cannot borrow. On the contrary, Paez can ob- tain any amount he asks for from wealthy citi- zens and from resident, foreigners, who will promptly aid his pecusiary wants in a good cause, in sustaining ‘the constitution and the laws, and putting down the dark conspirators against the peace and good will of the couat _ Itmay be here remarked that the British min ister rejected the members of Congress who sought protection under his banner, as well as other inhabitants; or rather, he is too proud to hoist the flag of his country, because other min- isters doit. [t has been generally accounted for in thisrefusal, the better to give countenance to the dark ‘population; for a black face is the best passport ia the British dominions, and it is the English policy to sustain everything con- neeted with negro blood. Paut Pry. Canacas, Feb. 22, 1848 Since writing you my last respecting the col- lision between the Congress and the President, the province of Maracaibo, with several other provinces, has declared against the President, and any acts that may have taken place in Con- gress since the 24th of January. General Paez, with Generals Sublette, Penango and Zamora, Colonel Codassie, with many other officers and several thousand Laneros, have armed them- selves against the President. Captain Celis, commander of the only vessel belonging to go- verament, (the Constitution,) sailed from Barce- lone with $22,000 and five hundred stand of arms, (intended for Laguayra’) and has left the government party and joined Maracaibo. ‘There are so many conflicting rumors respect- ing the operations ef the troops on either side, thatthe truth is difficuit to obtain. One thingis cert#in--on the side of the President he has a large force in the field, (some 6,000 or 8,000 men,) with no meansto pay them. Nearly ail the men ol capital have fled from the country.— Loans cannot be obtained, and in this dilemma orec loans are talked of. A project has been laid befo: 83 to issue two millions of pa- per; but inthe midst of 60 graye a question, se- veral members, unwilling to unite, Congress has been without & quorum for the last two days, and may be said to be constitutionally dissolved What the President will do in such a dilemma, time alowe must tell. Every day inereases his difficulty and lessens his means. The troops which have marched to the interior, are eating up the substance ot all the villag and want is begimaing to siare them tn the fa Paez has ‘aused the cattle to be driven farther into the in- ior, und is mancuvring to draw the govern- ment troops farther into the iaterior, so that when he strikes the blow it will stun the whole army. ? i Never, since the revelution, has this countr, seen anything like the present distress. Conk. deuce is destroyed, agriculture neglected, and commerce crippled. Father and son are arrayed agalaet each ether with deadly weapons. Every aesurance has been guuranteed to foreigaers, provided they do net meddle with the polities of the country ; but whether we shall be respected when the great struggle comes, is yet to be seen. Most of the foreigaers have flags prepared to de- signate their nationality in case ot need. A few days will probably determine the fate of Caracas; but it will be moaths, perhaps years, before the country can be placed in a healthy condition.— Paez 13 nota manto be trifled with; and, as he says in his “Proclama” that he is determined to cllastiee the party in Caracas, and is also able, we may expect he will carry out his determina- uon atall hazards. Most of the foreign minis- ters have ordered some men-ot-war to be at La- guayra incase of need. We are expecting a tri- gate from the United States, Mr. Shields having sent despatches to that effect. I close in time for the Venezuela, to Philadel- pia.
