waded Colombia, as will be seen by the following Proclamation of Bolivar, uanslated for the Journal of Commerce: PROCLAMATION OP SIMON BOLIVAR TO TIM PROPLR OE THE SOUTH. FaLLow-SoLDIERS—The perfidy of the Government of Peru has passed all limits, and broken all the rights of the citizens of Bolivia and Colombia. After the thousand outrages suffered by heroic patience, we have been obliged to repel injustice with force. The Peruvian troops have tntered the centre cf Bolivia without a pre- vious declaration of war, and without any cause for it. Such abominable conduct serves to demonstrate to us what we must expect from a Government which does net recognize the laws of nations, nor the gratitude which is due to friends and brothers. To refer to the catalogue of the crimes of the Peruvian Government would be too much, and we could not hear it without a loud cry of revenge ; but I do not wish to excite your indignation, nor to renew the pain of your wounds. 1 invite you only to arouse against these wretches, who already have violated the soil of the Republic, and yet intend to profane the bosom of the mother of heroes. Let the Colombians of the South be armed—let them fly o the frontiers of Peru, and wait there the hour of retribution. My presence among you will be the token for combat. Bogota. July 3. BOLIVAR. _ . The causes which have given rise to this declaration of war by Colombia against the sister republic of Peru, ate, according to the Editor of the Carthagena Gazette, of a serious and manifold character. He enumerates them in die following order: The atrocious attempt to induCe a portion of the Co lombian army to turn their arms against their mother country--the claim rf Peru to dominion over three of the departments of Colombia, and her endeavouring to unite them to her territory—her prohibiting the Colum bian Ambassador from displaying over his residence the flag of his country, a banner which so often led the Peruvians to conquest—having, without the least pro vocation, and without a previous declaration of war, invaded Bolivia, the friend and ally of Colombia— hiving commenced hostilities against an infant com monwealth, which is indebted to the Liberator of both Colombia and Peru, for its wise institutions, its natural preponderance, and the honour of bearing his illustrious name—insulting in their ministerial prints the Republic of Colombia, her President, her army, and every thing connected with the nation—depriving the Colombian army of those indemnities which had teen granted to the soldiery, id recompense for the blood which their countrymen had shed for the liberties of Pcru, and therefore violating the faith of Treaties. Such a catalogue of infractions and atrocities, the Editor adds, have rendered us alive to our sufferings, and nothing now remains for us but to march against Peru, and lead our warriors once more triumphant to her capital, Lima. At a late hour we received a Carthagena Paper, con taining the Resolutions (said to be signed with 4,000 names) of a great meeting, on the 13th of June, of the civil, municipal, and ecclesiastical authorities of Bogota, at which were also present the fathers of families of that city and neighbourhood, and at which the Intendant ofl the Department presided—importing that inasmuch as the nation is surrounded with difficulties—menaced on the South from Peru with war ; and on the North, by the Spaniards from Cusa—that the Convention of Ocana does not represen: the majority nor the wishes of the nation—and that, above all, a strong and energetic go vernment is, in the actual crisis, indispensable ; for these and similar reasons, and protesting the purity of their intentions, the meeting resolved 1. That we will not obey in any manner any acts of the Convention of Ocana, because it does not represent the expression of the popular will. '2. That therefore we !evoke the powers granted to the Deputies from this province in that Convention, which we consider illegitimate; and those Deputies are there fore required forthwith to return home. 3. That the Liberator President be charged exclusively with the supreme command of the Republic, with ple nary power, which for ourselves we grant, in all branches, to organize things as he shall judge best, in order to cure the evils that assail the Republic from within, preserve its union, assure its independence, and re-establish its credit ; and that he shall exercise all authority until he himself shall deem it expedient to convene the Repre sentatives of the nation. The two concluding articles invite the Liberator to hasten to the capital, and order all publicity to be given to these resolutions. This document is dated Bogota, 13th June, and for issaliy addressed by the Secretary of State. Jose Manuel l Restrepo, to the Intendant of the Depat talent. The following announcement has been made by Ge neral Paez: 11 REPUBLIC OF COLOMBIA. " 3051 A. ma, SUITAIOR. CUM OF •lITIZZUZI.A. le VALENCIA, JULY 15.-I have the honour to enclose you a copy of an Act passed at a smiling held on the 13tk of last month in the capital of the Republic, in which the Intendant of the Department of Cundina mama, with the other Civil Authorities, fathers of families, and respectable proprietors, there invested exclusively with the supreme command of the Republic his Excellency the Libe►ator President, with full posters in all the branches <f the Government. His Eicellency the President, on the 16th r f the same month, officially announced that he is resolved to exert his authority and energy in the service of the State. Thus has been sanc tioned the uniformly expressed wish of the people of the three departments under my command, that his Excellency should take upon him the supreme com mand of the State." Au improvement is about to take place on the Ports mouth road, by avoiding the steep hill on entering the village of florndean, besiees which the road will be shortened 250 yards. _ It having been erroneously stated that the greater part of the unfortunate Portuguese Refugees at this port are without resources, we think it necessary to say, that so far from such being the case, the . Commiscronera ap pointed by the Portuguese and Bragiliam EmbassieF i have been actively employed in preparing every possiblel comfort for the refugees; that rations are daily al lowed to those who think proper to receive them; and that one molt is pay has been advanced to each, Officer and private according to the regulations ofj the Portuguese at my in time of war. A large build.l ing at C .sside has been hired as a temporary accom modation fpr those refugees who are daily arriving. Their number is rapidly increasing, and is now neatly 1,000. They are chiefly non-commissioned officers mad privates, and se lean that they sold almost all their , clothes to support them in Gallicia, and pay for their passage to this country, rather than return to Portugal whilst under the dominion of the Usurper ; although every attempt was made by the Spanish Authorities to prevail on tietn to abandon their officers,—Pllintouth Journal GIBRALTAR, Avourr 26. Sunday morning the &W and Duke of York steamers strived here from Cadiz. The Duke of York brought passengers from London, Lisbon, and Cadiz ; the Echo was the bearer to Cadiz of part of the crew and passen gers of the ship Morning Star, who were sent out by, and at the expense of, the British Government, to con front the pirates who scuttled their ship. The thirteen pirates, and the same number of Spaniards, were placed in a row, and successively the witnesses were called in to identify the pirates; and so deeply had the memory of these wretches been stamped upon their minds, that only in two instances was any error committed, and this mis take might readily happen, ashen the thirteen Spaniards who were chosen to stand alongside the pirates were cer tainly, as far as looks went, as great ruffians as the others, and in each case there was a remarkable likeness. The steward of the Morning Star, a shrewd French man, when brought into their presence, actually called the greater number of them by name to stand forward. The manner in which the principal of this party was apprehended is rather curious. He appeared in Cadiz dressed in the uniform of a Portuguese Officer, and received and returned the salut.s of the French soldiers. In passing through the gate, the sentinel gave him the salute, striking his musket in soldier like style; the other started, turned `round, and said he was much obliged. This circumstance, so unusual in an Officer, attracted the attention of the sentinel, wh., communicated it to his comrade, and then to his Commanding Officer. The Portuguese officer was followed—suspicion opens the eyes—he appeared now no longer an officer to the experienced soldier, and was. soon accommodated with a room in the prison. He :was well known by all the witnesses whom the Echo brought out ; and after the depositions of each person had been taken, the Echo sailed for this port, that the Captain of, this piratical crew, who is confined here, might be seen by them. This man's char acter, and indeed that of the whole crew, they being slave traders, running off, leaving their Captain behind on the coast of Africa, becoming pirates, their horrible cruelty—the Captain issuing the most cruel orders, which were as cruelly executed, lie never being seen by his crew—and finally, the miraculous manner in which they have been placed in the hands of justice—altogether there is so much of romance about the whole story, that at a future day, there is material for an interesting novel. It is wonder ful how the hand of PROVIDENCE seems to follow the guilty, and promote justice. In this instance they thought that, by scuttling the Morning Star, they would verify the old proverb, 44 A dead man tells no tales ;" but the vessel floated, and many tongues can tell the tale of their cruelty. " Murder will out." The Echo will now proceed to Bilboa, where the remainder , of the pirates have been apprehended. That curious phenomenon of the formation of vapour at the top of Gibraltar rock may now constantly be seen. Easterly winds have been prevailing for same time ; and, as long as the wind continues in this direc tion, we shall have a constant vapour hanging over us. It is curious to stand upon the top of the rock, and see the beautiful Mediterranean sky-ilue blue. A few feet above the rock that peculiar flickering appearance which heated air shows is seen; then, ibeve that, the vapour begins to form, and floats away in dense clouds towards the ocean. During this wind the rock is insufferably warm—there is a peculiar closeness in the air ; and those who have lived here for some time can tell before they leave their beds in the morning whether an'emterly wind (a Levanter) is blowing. On Saturday last the Russian flag-ship TuchamPe:, nouse, Admiral Ricord, Captain Plater, arrived here. The remainder of the squadron are detained under Cape Spatel by this easterly wind. The flag-ship will re main in this harbour until joined by the others; they will then proceed up the Mediterranean to join the Rus sian fleet. Gibraltar Bay exhibits many curious appearances during the continuance of the easterly wind. One is just off the New Mole—a number of currents of air, coming from many different points, strike with amazing •iolence upon the water, and force it up in considerable quantities; sometimes they seem to follow each other in a circle, with amazing rapidity, throwing the spray to a long distance. During this gale no boatmen will make fast the sheet of his sail, but holds it in his hand, looking anxiously for the coming breeze. Many boats are capsized a ithuot the slightest warning.

This event is stated to have taken place after a very slight tesistance. The expedition appeared off the island on the 16th ult. and took possession of it on the 24th, previously to which the tiovernor, VALDE; had embarked on board an English vessel. The efforts of the Loan LIEUTENANT of Ireland to conciliate the affections of the watm•bearted people of that country have been, we rejoice to perceive, the theme of approbation from both of the parties which at present distract the public peace in the Sister Kingdom. The applause with which his Lordship has been greeted on every occasion of his appearance in public, the ad dresses that have been presented to him, and the wel come that has hailed his good-humoured condescension at Donnybrook Fdir, and at other plaes of amusement of the common people, have already marked Lord ANGLESEY As the most popular Vic. soy that Ireland has sea► fvr Many a year. Though suffering severely at times from attscks of his painful disorder, Lord ANGULO), since the public eye has been upon hint in his dignified , station, has distinguished himself by an affable and win• ning deportment towards all who have been officially or other wise connected with him. and has inspired the , country in general with the belief. that the LORD LIMP* TRNANT has their interests sincerely at heart. He has' thus afforded an additional instance of the truth—that nothing is so easy as for the great rq make themselves respected and beloved, if they really wish to win men's affections. The strict impartiality of Sir ANTHONY Harr as Loi d Chancellor, has also tended materially to allay the discontents of the liish. The very first principles of society demand the even-handed administration of jus tice, and the exercise of the royal prerogative without favour or affection. The office of Lord Lieutenant is a l ministerial, and not a legislative one, and is now dis- charged as it ought to be, without regard to the reli gious or other opinions of the King's subjects, but with reference only to their conduct as citizens. The people c msequently have begun to feel themselves secure in the enjoyment of their property, arta assured of protec tion against faction and outrage. The Paris Papers received last night bring no account of any new or important occurrence in the war on the Turkish frontier, the article from Odessa consisting of loose reports or looser speculation. It is perhaps, how ever, not unworthy of remark, that the formidable cha racter of the means of resistance at the disposal of the Porte is now fully admitted by the Messages- des Chaashres, which, on the commencement of the cam paign, anticipated the most rapid and decisive success on the part of the Russians. The Algemeine Zeilmv, received this morning, con tains no additional news from the Russian head•goarters. The Nuremberg Correspondent, in speculating on the pio bable consequences of the war, contains the following s FROM THE LOWER DANUBE, AUGUST 25. The journey of the Emperor Nicholas to Odessa has excited some surprise, and not without reason, because it was unexpected. On examination, however, it will seem very natural that, on ac count of the unforeseen obstinate resistance of the enemy, and the necessity which there arose of besbging &burnis h Varna, and the fortresses on the Danube, it was judged necessary, above all things, to increase the army, and that the Emperor thought it advisabie to forward the arrival of the reinforcements by his presence at Odessa, as the point from which the necessary orders might be the most easily given. The Rus►ian armies are generally supposed abroad to be much stronger than :bey in fact are, as was seen in the late wars in France and Germany. Their numerous light troops were more easily subsisted in those countries than in Turkey, where the whole country, as they advance, is abandoned by the inhabitants, with their cattle. and the roads broken up as much as possible. Alt the Christian inhabitants are sent by the Turks further into the country, and where a village has been left inhabited, it is converted into a fortress. It is very fortunate that the artful policy of Prince Mlloads has hindered the llosniaks from increasing the faeces co the right wing of the Russians ; lee that after the Tads had main tained their position at Schumla, it only remained to invest their army in tbat fortress. The Turks bate carefully avoided making an attack on the main positions of the Russians before Schumla, but the completion of the blockade will oblige them to it ; meantime the Russian army may be supplied for a long period with provisions from Wallachia, which has not been laid waste, though the want of the possession of Silistria is a great impediment, sod so long as the locusts keep away, the draught ozen and the horses of the cavalry will no: suffer much far want of fodder. Should the Turks have, as, it may be Supposed, considerable magazines in Schumla, it is not likely that that they will suffice for many months, and the besieged will pro-, bably be sooner and more severely distressed than the besiegers.— The perseverance of the Russians in atomism of difficulty is well known. The Emperor Nicholas, certain of the valour of hie troops, will not sacrifice them in useless attacks. and for the present takes measures for the uninterrupted supply of all the besieging corps. Fortunately the crops both of corn and hay in the Dawn provinces have been abundant, and ample sup plies may be purchased in Transylvania. It is true that the supplying of large armies from a distance is attended with difficulties, and the Euzine is a stormy sea; however, the greatneu of the difficulties is met by the mean provided to over-' come them. The great problem at Schumla is, that barracks and provisions for the besiegers may not be wanting, and that the number of the sick may not become too great; the obstinacy of the East will then be obliged to yield to the perseverance of the North, .and to superior military skill. Winter campaigns, besides, are by no means suited to the Oriental nations; this alone will hinder the levy en masse from affording very speedy results ; and as the lOU of every fortress will depress the courage of the Turks. besides this, the operations before Schumla may give to the Russian army in Asia the advantage of meeting with less opposition on its long march to Scutari along the sea coast, while the army in Europe la advancing by way of Varna to Constantinople. The Turks have not yet gained any victory—have not been able to destroy any magazines —and the unfounded cries of victory raised in Constan tinople must soon be changed to lamentations. With all the fana ticism of the Turks, the Saban and his Government are unpopular, and a general belief prevails among the people that Constantinople will fall. After all these considerations, bow can It be supposed possible that the Russian Cabinet will be deterred by diSsulties, most of which may be certainly overcome by a judicious organize. tion of the magazine department ?—Nuremberg Clairmont &74 & VIENNA, Sara.

The nomnfficial part of the Casette contain an article of Az columns, in reply to the protest of the Marquis de it and the Viscount Itabsyana, published in the English Papers et the 16th of August— " The cause of the Portuguese nation, which was supplanted since the death of Don John VI. by a faction, whose chiefs had prepared duriag the lifetime of that Monarch, and effected on his death, the subjection of the Portuguese people to a fudge Sove reign, could not be supported and defended so long as the legi. timate heir to the Throne was not among u, since there was danger that we might not possess him so soon; and, perhaps, we might have possessed him sooner, had not the loyal Portuguese who first attempted to proclaim him in 1S been ill ad. vised, and perhaps deceived. At length the King found Massif under the necessity of assuring Europe that he was coming to govern us for his August Brother; but as his rights and those of the Portuguese nation were laid down in the fan datnental laws of the monarchy, his Majesty, notwithstanding any promises be had made, uuld neither alter them, nee deprive the nation of the rights and privileges given to it ►y the presumptive compact, and other laws relative to the Successor to the Crown."
