Padilla, suc ceeded in entering his house, and it was there that the brave Colonel Bolivar was shot. falling under the bands of men litho had Wet seen the face of an enemy. Colonel Ferguson aves also killed by the conspirators who had attacked the palace, and who encountered him accidentally as they were leaving it, after the escape of the Liberator. ab 6 public mass was celebrated on the very next triaging (September 26) in gratitude for the safety of Bolivar. The citizens are said to have crowded around the Liberator to congratulate him on the event. Several thousands of the neighbouring peasantry were very shortly under arms, and at the disposal of the Govern meat. A decree was also issued the same day (the 26th) in which Bolivar announces his determination, grounded on the conspiracy. to exercise those extraordinary po xers which, he says, the nation had previously vested in him. A courier who left Bogota on the 30th of September had arrived in Carthagena, bringing information that five of the conspirators bad been executed, and Colonel Guerra was to be hung on that day. Every thing which can serve to blacken the character of Santander and Padilla is insetted in the Gazelles. bet we canna find, on careful examination, any specific evidence of their guilt. The Impels in Bolivar's interest, however, roundly assert that they were the authors of the conspiracy, and clamour loudly for their execution, which they say is soon to take place. It is possible that their connexion with the conspiracy was too open and manifest to requite the specification it evidence. That they were concerned in it seems to have been the opinion of the writer of the above letter, and we think it more safe to rely upon his judgment than upon any speculations of our own. We yesterday gave a summary of the Colombian news. The following additional particulars will be found interesting. The private letters assert that Santander and Padilla were at the head of the conspiracy ; that their object, besides the death of B dim, was the elevation or the former to the Presidency. A great many arrests and some executions had alreidy taken place. A letter from Carthagena of the 19th ult. says—"A few persons here have been arrested and imprisoned, on suspicion of having been concerned iu the conspiracy." A very respectable foreigner at Bogota writes,l under date of September 28—" I am afraid the party against the Government is very numerous and increasing throughout the country. A measure recently adopted by the executive against the advice of Council, for stopping the payment of dividends on the home debt, for the purpose of appropriating them exclusively to the payment of dividends on British loans.is very unpopular." PROM THE ROOOTA GAZETTE, SEPT. 28. CONSPIRACY AGAINST COLOMBIA AND THE LIBERATOR. - Those who for come time past had meditated the destruction of the Republic and its guardian, effected a must atrocious attempt in the night of the 25th inst. The garrison of this city consisted of the first squadron of the horse grenadiers, the battalion of Vargas, and a brigade of artillery. The conspirators succeeded to bribe this brigade, and to make it the nucleus of their operations. In pursuance of their plans, which had been concerted in a secret meeting held at eight o'clock on the same evening, a party of the artillery was to' attack the palace, another past the barrack . of Vargas, and another the grenadiers. Those intended to attack Vargas were to be subdivided, and to liberate General Padilla, in order tit place him at the head of this parri cidal undertaking. In consideration of the distance, as well as of its n importance, it was determined to begin by st om ing ihe pal.ce. This was done by the Commanding • Officer (Commandante) Horment, Florentine Gonzales, Captain Lopez, and WeneslaoQuilaivar, who conducted and led the assaAins. Horment himself mortally wounded three sentinels, and accompanied by the others. he ascended the upper apartments, where, siotaithstinding his ninth, Lieutenant Andres Hula, orderly officer of the Liberator, fought with a signal valour until he was disabled by the cut of a sabre in hie right hand. The assailants succeeded in penetrating into the cabinet of his Excellency, who came out to meet them ; but being alone against all the conspirators, he prepared to defend himself in his own cabinet, and when it was found impossible to hold ont any longer, he sallied forth from a balcony into the street, and reached the barrack rf Vargas. The attack on these barracks had commenced as soon as news was received of that on the palace, and was directed by the Commandant Selva, by placing a piece of ordnance against the gate; but the guard sustained their post with firmness, and assisted by the soldiers of the same battalion, who, from the upper windows, fired upon the aggressors with some cf the little ammunition which they had, beat back the conspirators, took their cannon. and pursued them in all directions. At this time some of the artillerymen had succeeded in get:ing into the prison <t General Padilla, under the rdeis of Captain E. Bruen° and K. Mendoza, by leap ing the wall of the yard, and having reached the room ot that General; surprised Colonel Bolivir in led, and dßcharged a pistol at his !seam. The valiant Colonel died by the bands of men who had never seen the face of an enemy. When those who had attacked the palace left it, they met at the door Colonel Ferguson, Aide-de-Camp of, the Liberator. At the first noise of the tumult, this' dew, wing Officer hastened (tom-his lodgings, and on reaching the spot, a pistol was filed at his breast by the Corrimandant Caiiij.), in whose recent promotion Fel guson had mainly assisted. A division e f the Regiment cf Vargas, under the command of Lieutenant Fort cam, having been supplied with druninnition, end headed by General Urdaneta, Minister of War. accompanied by General Paris, Cor dova Velec, and Ortega, placed themselves in the prin cipal tiviate, ftons whom orders were given for the defence of the cite, and the pursuit of the traitors. Here they were joined by the Liberator, who was received with open arms and most enthusiastic demonstrations of joy by all the Officers and men. A solemn high mass iii thanksgiving was offered np on the !6.h by the Archbishop. The proper authorities are engaged in preparing the processes against the conspirators. The t eople, to the amount of 4,000, have armed, and by their exertions many of those who had escaped the pursuit of the military were taken. Liar or Passomaas m sea Cometescr.—J.

HERRAN, IN lENDANT OF THE DEPARTMENT, TO THE INHABITANTS or CUNDIMAKCA. II Last night brought this city and the whole c,f tNe republic to the brink'Of ruin! bitto be believed that even here, in our very bosoms, villains should have ex• ismd who would attempt to murder the Liberator ? " Seduced by them, the brigade of artillery which was in this city, and supported by this force, they in troduced themselves and spilt much blood, even in the very house of his Excellency ; but PROVIDENCE was pleased that Colonel Fergusor, and Colonel Joseph Bs liver, with a p4rt of the guard, should perish, the first at the entrance of the palace, the second in the house of the General Padilla, where he was on service. The Se cond Lieutenant Ibarra was wounded in the apartments of the palace, as were several others. The 'Aerator, to whose cabinet the assassins had penetrated, miracu• lously saved himself. Several of the traitors have been arrested, and those who have fled are pursued. The full extent of their crimes will be discovered. " The first squadron of Horse Grenadiers, and the battalion of Vargas, conducted themselves during the whole night with that zeal and enthusiasm which has so often called (filth the praises even of the enemy. "The Astillery commenced their parricidal proceed ing by pointing and discharging their guns against the quarters of those troops whose valour .was only fired by this attack. They soon put to flight the traitors, and running through-the streets alone, or accompanied by their office's, they congratulated one another on the safety of the Liberator. " His Excellency also visited all -parts of the city during the night, and every where he received testimony of the horror inspired in all by the crime meditated. " Countrymen, friends, believe not that the authors were Bogoiians. Horment is not— Carrijo is not; nor' are those who diricted and commanded this band of assassins. Bogota is faithful .to her vows, and grateful to the Liberator. Bogota above all is Colombian. " What would become of this republic if crime were triumphant? We had lost our support, our bond of union, our tutelar angel. Friends, let us give thanks to the Most HIGH, who, in preserving the Liberator, has preserved us all. " PEDRO A. lIERRAN." BOGOTA, Sm.

According to the l3►us,rls Papers received last night, the discussion respecting the liberty of the Press, which Was occupied the Second Chamber of the States General of the Netherlands for several dap, was terminated in favour of the Ministry by a majority of 61 to 44. We ate told, however, that this decision is not to be taken as a criterion of the sentiments of the Chamber, they having already been unequivocally expressed, but as a mark of respect to the KING. We have teceived by the Florida Packet, which reached Liverpool on Saturday, New York Papers to the 16th ult. They contain very interesting intelligence from Colombia, which we insert in our preceding columns. It appears that an attempt has been made to assassinate BOLIVAR, who narrowly escaped being murdered in his palace. It is asserted that SANTANDIR and PA/MLA were at the head of the conspiracy. and that their object, besides the death of BOLIVAIt, was the elevation of the former to the Presidency. A great number of arrests, had, in consequence, taken place s and. proclamations been issued, &flouncing the utmatt severity of the law against the conspirators. By the Dutch Mail we have received St. Petersburgh Papers to the 21st ult. and Hamburgh Papers to the Sd inst. They do'not contain any intelligence from the theatre 6f war, and are chiefly occupied with matters of local interest. The following are extracts : STOCKHOLM, Nov. 21.
