The greatest inactivity 'prevails ;
Gen. Li Torre will neither march
against the. Patriots nor resign the
Chief command ; and owing to the
differences among the chiefs, there
is great insubordination in the army,

that , the Colombian ^flotilla of dO
gtni- boats, under'Col. Padilla, bad
jeutei-ed the harbor of Cartbagena on
the 4'h of May and would doubt
. less succeed in the reduction of that
place. The Royalists had bade a
sortie, but were repulsed by the Pa4
