V - I ) A C were disputing about a. form of Government and the Sovereignty of the provinces." " How different became the aspect of these same pro. vinees when they were united under one central Go vernment! General Bolivar, who, in tip midst of the' universal shipwreck, never despaired of the safety of his country, succeeded in uniting under his command a part of the plains watered by the Orinoco, the Apure, aad the Meta. After fighting for two years against the iteterans of Morino, he passed the Andes of New Granada, and routed the Spanish division which de fended it, though double in numbers. The same Bolivar forced Morillo to follow the rstles of regular warfare, and to make an armistice. When hostilities again com menced, his army conquered at Carabobo the hosts of tie Spaniards, and put the seal to the independence of Cvlombia. This classical name, and the union of Quito, Cu ndinamarca, and Venezuela,which it expresses, • are the immortal work of the Deliverer. Projected in 1813, it received in 1819 the sanction of the Congress of Venezuela, and in 1821 that of the Congress of Colombia, composed of legitimate representatives from all the free provinces. The union being consolidated, the Republic constituted, and the Deliverer chosen President, the provinces ofQuito were freed by the force of republican arms. New troops are organizing in the south of Colombia, to ganisou the new departments,or under the Deliverer have gone to combat for the liberty and independence of America in the ancient Empire of the Incas. Internal tranquillity, submission to the laws, security of the most valuable rights of men, a vigorous Government, respected in all parts of our territory, ate the prodigious effects produced by the new constitution of Colombia." This picture may be a little too flattering, but it must be correct in its principal features. It is now two yea's and a half since the constitution of Colombia as sumed its present form, and since that time we have heard of no distut bances in any part of its territory. Mitch of this security and tranquillity must be ascribed to the wise and able conduct of Bolivar. It is difficult to say what precise effect his defeat in Peru would have on the fortunes of Colombia, but it requires little re flection to see that the result would be very disastrous. Appended to this report, we find a financial account of the pay allowed to the different functionaries of the State, Legislative as well as Executive. The Members of the Senate, and of the Chamber of Representatives, are paid salaries, probably that they may not receive bribes. The allowance of each is six dollars a day. The President enjoys a salary of 30,000 dollars a year, and the Vice-President 18,000. The whole internal administration of the Republic, including provincial as well as general expenses, costs Colombia only half a million of dollars per annum, or about 100,0001. sterling. FRANCE. ST.

" The coffin, containing the body of the late King, is st<sw laid out in state in the Throne-room of the Tuileries. After patiently waiting some hours, and an application of a few Atones to one of the domestics, I got admission to see it yesterday (it not being a public day, his present Majesty having to come and sprinkle Holy Water upon the coffin of his Royal Brother), The v, ails of the Palace, close to and over the grand entrance, are hung to a considerable extent with black cloth, which is thinly covered with gilded fleurs-de-lis and silver teals. The hall of the Marshals, and the long suite of apartments intervening between-it and the Throne-room, ate hung with black, and very dimly lighted (the window-shutters being all closed) with a few melancholy tapers; but on entering the room where the body lies, the eyes are dazzled with the splendour aNd magnificence of the, scene ; all is gold and brilliancy. Amidst numberless burning tapers is the Royal coffin, covered akb a gor geous pall of cloth of gold, upon which are the crown, • sceptre, and sword. In front are two superbly-clad Mace-bearers, and at each corner a Herald at As ms, in their splendid and chivalrous costumes? On the left of the coffin sat the Great Officers of the Crown in their rich uniforms and sparkling orders, and on the left the Royal Almoners and Ecclesiastical Attendants, who from time to time chaunted the service for the dead, and, whose low and mournful tones formed a strange con- trast with the pomp anti glare and splendour of what met the eyes. " Next to the coffin sat Prince Talleyrand. He looked extremely downcast, and very much exhausted, being obliged to remain in the same position for several hours, and amidst the hot and unwholesome air engen tiered by a great number of persons and an immense number of lamps in a confined space. The Royal re mains are to be transferred to-morrow or the day after to St. Denis, where they are to be kept above ground in a chapel s ardente for thirty days, when the interment will take place. The preparatioos for the funeral cere monies at St. Denis are of the most costly and magni ficent nature. Of those silver stars, each of which are from three to four inches long, 15,000 have been or dered. As they cost three livres and a half each, this item alone amounts to 52,000 Ernes, or £2,400. Un less with the exception of these funeral ceremonies, and the closing of the Theatres, Paris is just as it was before. Everything is perfectly tranquil, and the people stem to feel as if no change had taken place, and that all will proceed in the same routine as hitherto." THE EVENING STAR. LONDON.

We wait with some anxiety for intelligence from South America, particularly Peru, where it is more than probable a final blow has ere now been given to the Spani.h power. An United States Paper has been received at the New England Coffee-house, which con tains an article of some interest, but whether it is to be conlidered confirmatory of the defection of OLAWITA from the Span4h cause, or the secession of another body of troops, seems doubtful. The following is the paragraph to which we allude : " By a letter dated at Trnxillo, the 13th of- May, we find an official account of the total defeat of a large division of the Royal army in Upper Peru. The Royalist Commander was defeated and taken prisoner, and the troops, after the combat, went over to the Republican standard." It has been known for some time that there was an intention of opening commercial negotiations between the Netherlands and France, and it was even said that the law on the Customs, presented to the Chamber of Deputies in France, had been withdrawn, in conse quence of the first communications between the two Governments. The Brussels Papers now announce the departure of M. VANDERFOSIZ, Gout mar of Hainault, for Paris, with a special mission from the Government of the Netherlands, to negotiate a treaty of commerce. We have received another file of United States Papers, but they are not of a later date than those which pre viously reached us. The following extract from a let ter addressed to the Edi.or, appears in the- Charles ton Mercury: a HAVANNAH, JUNE MI. a Rice has improved, but we cannot zecommend any extensive shipments ; some few other articles of provisions are in demand. " A brig arrived a few days since with 401 negroes, captured on the coast of Brazils, under the Brazilian flag, by the Spanish priva teer Romano, belonging to this port, and sent in here fur adjudica tion. It is said that two hundred died the first night of her arrival of the yellow vomit ! Gob Mows where they were buried." Frankfort Papers, to the 17th instant, reached us this morning. One of them states, that so far from the Capitan Pacha having attacked Samos, the Asiatic troops assembled at Scala Nuova, and destined for the expedition had mutinied, and refused to join in any ex pedition against the islands of the Archipelago. It will be teen that the Emperor of RUSSIA has iscued another vexatious Ukase against the Jews. When will this much-injured people be flee from persecution? The following ate extracts: AUGSBURG, SEPTEMBER 12. We have received to-day news from Constantinople of 17th August, which are therefore a week later than those published by the Austrian Observe", in its No. of the 4th of this month. At the abovementioned date, the Captain Pacha had not made any attempt upon Samos, or, if he had, the result was not known at Constanti nople ; but it appears certain, that the Admiral has been under the disagreeable necessity of deferring his expedition, because the Asiatic troops assembled at Scala Nuova, who were to be employed in the landing. on Samos, have mutinied—their leaders having declared that they would not yin in any expedition against the islands of the Archipelago. The Ottoman Government considers this event as so serious, that it has sent to Scala Nova the corps which has been long encamped near Scutari to reduce the mutinous to (mien An these circumstances render the situation of the Captain Pacha very critical, since the execution of the orders of the Sultan to attack Samos is thus deferred. News has been received in the Turkish capital, that the famous Canaria has sailed with a strong division of the Gtea fleet, and a great many fire-ships, with a view to burn the fleet of .the Captain Pacha; but this will be a difficult task, the Comnianders of the Turkish vessels having taken every precaution to secure them selves against the fire-ships. The Smyrnean contains some particulars relative to the taking of Ipsara by the Turks, which are said to have been furnished by a Musselman who was an eye-witness of the event. According to this account, the Ipsariots behaved with great courage. The Turks estimate that three or 4,000 men perished by the el.- plosion of Fort St. Nicolo. • FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBER 15. His Royal Highness the. Crown Prince of Bavaria reviewed, on the 12th, the Bavarian troops assembled near Nuremburg. The whole corps was drawn up in a large square, with two altars, for the Protestants and • Catholics. A suitable tilsetitirsei on the moral and reli gious quilities of the Christian soldier, was delivered by the Rev. M. Beck, a Protestant Clergyman ; after this, Mass was performed, and all the troops then filed off before his Royal Highuess. The weather being fine, an immense concourse of people was present. The eva lutions were to continue three days. ST. PETERSBURG, SEPTEMBER 4. - . The Senate published, on the 11th of last month, a Ukase relative to the Jews. The following are some of the articles : The Officers at the frontier posts are strictly enjoined to take care that no Foreign Jew be allowed to proceed into the interior of the Empire, or, if be has voluntarily left it, ever to return W it. There art some exceptions in favour of Jews settled in Russia, who have gone abroad en mercantile or pri vate business, with legal passports, and with permission to return, given by the Authorities in the Empire, or eer Ministers and Diplomatic Agents at Foreign Courts; also those who came to Russia to stay for a short time, on account of business ; but they 'lust also have passports from the Diplomatic Agents abroad. BRIOHTON, SEPTEMBER 21. TMs town yet continues remarkably full of fashionable company. The Princess Panoramas' and suite have removed from the Royal York Hotel to a private mansion on the King's road. Sir Jona and Lady Comae arrived at the Royal York Hotel on Sunday, but left us to return to town this morning. Sir Mascot Lowe has left us some days, and, as understood, to embark to fill his new appointment of Governor of Antigua. Lady and Miss Lowe remain with us ; the house they occupy has been hired fur a twelvemonth. The Earl of Consumes is returned to Stanmer Park from Hastings. One or two parties of late,hy especial orders, have been admitted to internal views of the state apartments at the Pastilioo. THE KIAG. WINDSOR, SIPTIMERR 22.•--Yesterday, the weather being very unfavourable, his Kumar, and visitors were unable to leave the Royal Lodge to take their customary drive about the rides in the Great Park. The KIND walked for a short time in the fore part of the day about the plantations contiguous to the Lodge. This afternoon his MAJRSIT drove out in his pony phaeton, accompanied by the Marquis CommonAm and the remainder of the KIND'S visitors and suite, in an open carriage and on horseback, for Sandpit Gate, ' where they alighted to inspect the curious collection of emus, kangaroos, blacic swans, &c. belonging to his MRSISTT. They remained about three-quarters of an hour, and afterwards proceeded to Virginia Water, where they passed the remainder of the afternoon. A numerous company of visitors are expected at the Royal Lodge on Saturday nest, to stay some time skid) his MAJIfSTY. This morning one of MA.rasry's private Messen gers left the Royal Lodge, for London. It has been already noticed that the French windows introduced into the Castle by CJIMILLZI 11. so completely out of keeping with the other parts of the building, were to be replaced by windows of the pure Gothic, in unison with the general character of the edifice. His hlarkerr having approved of the mo!el which had been pre pared, the greatest activity has prevailed during the past week in preparing them. Stone front the quarries in the neighbourhood of Bath has been selected, on account of iu possessing greater facilities for the workmanship, while its durability increases by exposure to the weather. The atone is forwarded M Windsor by canal and river navigation, and blocks of the immense weight of from five to ,eight tons each, have been, within these few days, landed and suit- ably prepared. A great number of the windows, which are formed upon the most chaste Outhic model, are already prepared. Mr. Secretary CANNING is expected to leave Dublin this day; he will come by way of Holyhead, and proceed imme diately to town. The Earl of Livsapoot left town about eleven o'clock on Tuesday morning, for the Royal Lodge, Windsor Park, where his Lordship had an audience of the Kiso, and returned to town in the afternoon.

The French Ambassador and suite, and many of the French Nobility, were present. Lord PALMERSTON is said to have been for some time in Ireland collecting information, of which he will be enabled to avail himself, as Chairman of the Committee of the House of Com mons, for inquiring into the state of the disturbed districts. The Countess of BALMAIN, daughter-in-law of Sir Hopson Lowe, died recently at St. Petersburgh. The Count of BALILUN is Aide-de-Camp of the Emperor A:Amman', and was his blaaarrv's Commissioner at St. Helena. Monday last, WILLIAM SLATTER, Esq. was elected Mayor of the City of Oxford, and on the same day, the Rev. Dr. MATOn was elected Mayor of the Borough of New Woodstock, for the seventh time. It has been erroneously stated, that Madame CATA LAWS would not be present at the Grand Musical Festival, which is to take place in Newcastle, on the Sth, 6th, 7th, and Bth of Oc tober next, for the benefit of several Charitable Institutions. On the contrary, we are desired by the Directors of that Grand Festi val to say, that Madame CATAL/JII will positively sing there ; and also Mrs. &swam, Miss &mums Signora de Bonus, Mr. BRA-. mass, Signior de Bums, and Mr. Slew, are to lend their powerful assiatanre.

The s'muuleri, it appears, were taker, by surprise (it being a calm the Banta's boats got alongside before they were observed), or they must have escaped, having a fine gal. ley attached to the lugger, and only a few miles from the shore. From the Captain of the luuer's account, smuggling has met with such a check since the peace, that the Merchants are aft aid to ven ture a cargo, and at this time there are several very fine cutters laid up, in consequence of the good look-out kept on our coast. Brandt can be obtained now for a mere trifle, and scarcely any demand for it at any pike. MARGATE, SEPT. 2L Yesterday morning, the Venus Steam-boat took a trip to th e Nore. The profits arising from this little voyage were assigned to the widow and family of the unfortunate fisherman who was buried on Saturday; they were,Lowever, very inconsiderable, in conse quence of the unfavourable weather, and the dense atmosphere, for the sea was involved in an entire fog, and the visitors, from an ap prehension of danger, were afraid to encounter the watery element. Early in the morning the wind came round to the East, and the rain continued during the whole day, to the annoyance and &sap- • pointment of the Cockney visitors, who could neither enjoy their donkey excursions to Dandelion anti Birehinton, nor their prn promenades on the Pier, the Jetty, the Fort, or their walks along the cliff to Kingsgate, Broadstairs, St. Peter's, and Ramsgate, in order to create an appetite for dinner, and enjoy a savoury segar afterwards. The introduction of steam boats has given the whole coast of Kent, ,the Isle of Thanet in particular, a prodigious lift. The company at present ate select and respectable; some of the must opulent merchants, East India Directors, and bankers, are now here, and a few who may be denominated a portion of the fa shionable world. Sir Gu.saav ilmtviscorn has engaged Captain Cotton's house, in the neighbourhood of Margate, for one month, at the high rate of sdo guineas—the Captain himself having gone to' the Highlands of Scotland to shoot grouse.

The first Resolution, for granting a pension to Mrs. Franklyn, was unanimously approved of. Mr. !lusts took ehe opportunity to pay a very high compliment to the merits of the late Major. General Stevenson, whom he deieribed as one of the most valua ble military servants tl,e Company ever possessed. The second Resolution, for granting 69,026 rupees to Mr. Marjorih.inks, was strenuously opposed by Mr. I Hutstm, as totally improper, under the circumstances, and las forming a precedent of a most dangerous nature. 1 The propriety of the grant was warmly defended by the Chairman (W. ASTELL, Esq.), Mr. l'Arrtsorg, and Mr. THANT. Mr. RIGBY oppo,ed the motion, on the ground that there was not sufficient information before the Cout t, an 4 moved an amendment, " That the question be adjotiruen for a fortnight." The amendment was negatived, and the original motion carried. Mr. Hosts gave notice, that be would take the sense of the Pro prietary on this question by ballot. The third Motion, for approving of the appointment of Mr. R. Leeds, as Purveyor and Steward to the Military Seminary at Al disctimbe, was agreed to. unanimously.

His pronunciation of his native language has been considered most perfect. LISTON does not return to Drury-Lane during the ensuing season, and we fear that the new compact, which the Pro prietors of the two national Theatres have recently made with each other, may deprive us of the exercise of his comic talents at oo vent-Garden. HAYMARKET TnlATaa.—This Theatre was well at tended last night, to witness the performance of the Comedy of Sweethearts and fives, in which the principal attractions were Miss CEZSTIR, Madame Vssrazi, and LISTON, who kept the house in continued laughter, which was not diminished in Use Farce of Twould puede a Conjuror.
