COLOMBIA-BOLIVAR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR . SIIL—In Saturday night's Globe there are some obser vations relative to Colombia, which from their friendly spirit merit reply, to remove unfavourable doubts on the writer's mind, arising from the obscurity in which the true history of the transactions to which he adverts has been left, from the want of a regular narrative. As your Paper professes to be the impartial advocate of the new States, and possesses more information con cerning them than any other, I trust you will not object to the insertion of the succinct relation I propose to rive, in answer to the observations to which I have referred. The writer, after noticing " the suppression of Con voy A's rebellion as a proof of the consolidation of BoLt- VAR'S power," cites the successive rebellions which have occurred during and since 1820, and remarks fairly— " that at such a distance he is at a loss to judge whether those repeated conspiracies are proofs that it is BOLIVAR, alone who protects the country from anarchy, or that his measures excite the lovers of their country to continue projects of rebellion ?" THE CONSPIRACIES ARE 1. That of General PAEZ. 2. General SANTANDER'S alleged plot at Bogota. 3. Admiral PADILLA'S. 4. The assassination plot at Bogota. 5. The insurrection of Popayan and Pasto called OBAN DO'S. 6. The disturbances in the South, and occupation o, 7. Guyaquil. CORDOVA'S revolt. Altogether a fearful List, and to the ear almost as bad as the one hundred and tenth revolt of the royal— loyal City of Naples, as cried about the streets in the time of MASANIELLO: but General PARz's opposition to the Bogota Government is the only distinct one. The rest are all ramifications, and inseparable sequiturs froii the second : corollaries, proceeding from the Bogota plan of action, and following the course there traced for its accomplishment. The history may be briefly told : General PAEZ, when General BoLIvAR was in Peru, feeling himself aggrieved by the Vice-President's— SANTABTDER's—Government, refused obedience to it, and threatened separation from the Central Government, over which BOLIVAR no longer presided but in name. The insurrection of General PAEZ was therefore directed against SANTANDER, and not BOLIVAR—not against the LIBERATOR, but his known rival and enemy. BOLIVAR apprehending the dissolution of Columbia, from the measures taken by General PAEZ to separate Venezuela, left Peru, hastened with scarcely any repose from Lima to Caraccas,..when and where General PAEZ submitted to the President-LIBERATOR, and the Laws. BOLIVAR'S triumph, won—not by adisplay of power, but by the influence of his name, and by a combination of activity, wisdom, and spirit, was rendered complete and glorious : nor since that day, has General PAEZ 'S fidelity to the pacificator ever been called in question. The mutiny of the troops left by BOLIVAR in Peru, re-called the LIBERATOR to the capital of Colombia. It was then made manifest that the Vice-President's faction had instigated that mutiny, and had even audaciously braved the authority of the LIBERATOR during his ab sence in Venezuela, to the extent of approving their con duct, and granting an amnesty to the rebels who had landed at Guayaquil with arms in their hands to depose him and sustain the SA - NTANDER faction. BOLIVAR, however, aided by the gallant FLORES and other faithful adherents, continued to detach the soldiers from their parricide Chiefs, who were obliged to fly back to Peiu : but he left, unfortunately as it was proved, the fataores belli at Bogota unpunished. The Congress of Ocana was then held, to settle the new form of Govern ment; but the Vice-President's faction persisting in their views to remove BOLIVAR from the Presidency, opposed the progress of settlement, and finding force ne -cessary to accomplish their objects, excited PADILLA— a man of colour, and of great name and influence amongst the black population—to set up the standard of revolt at Carthagena. The attempt, however, to seize the city failed, owing to the resolution of General MONTILLA. PADILLA WBS pursued as a traitor, but at Ocana he found a day or two's refuge in SANTAN- . DER'S house, and a vote of thanks was actually passed by the faction for his patriotism. This measure ruined, however, all their hopes—The country be came indignant at the scandal, and the peril of an appeal to the men of colour. The electors assembled every where, revoked the powets given to their representatives, declared the Ocana Congress dissolved, and by acclamation through Colombia ap pointed BOLIVAR Dictator. PADILLA was seized, and conveyed a prisoner to Bogota. S4NTANDER'S residence in Colombia was no longer possible ; but, in conformity with the erroneous policy of the new States, instead of being tried, he was ordered into an honourable exile, by being appointed Envoy to the United States of America. Before, however, he had commenced his journey, the attempt was made to assassinate BOLIVAR in the Palace of Government. The presence of mind of a heroine, and the fidelity of several brave men who perished, saved him from the poignards of the conspirators. It being proved at the trial which ensued, that PA DILLA Was a party to the conspiracy, be was convicted and executed. General SANTA w DEA himself admitted he had information of the plot, but had not approved, i though one of the conspirators deposed that he did not I oppose, but only recommended he should first be on his passage to America, that he might be recalled un suspected of being an accomplice. Sentence of death was passed 011 SANTANDER, but the LIBERATOR re ferred the sentence to a Council of Ministers, who com muted the punishment to banishment, on annexed con ditions, and his life was spared by the chief, whom he had so virulently persecuted. OBANDO having fled from Bogota, when the plot was discomfitted, raised an insurgent party in Popayan and Panto, in conjunction with a Colonel LOPEZ ; but as soon as General BOLIVAR moved against them, they were driven from post to post, and finally were permitted to surrender. Not a drop of blood was shed, and internal peace being restored, the first act of the Conqueror Pacifi cator was to convoke a Constituent Congress for the let Jan:lB3o. The Anti-Bou vAn faction had, however, not depended solely on their otos means to accomplish their ends, but had engaged General LA MAR, President of Peru. —(whose personal resentment against Bora vAR has been stated by the Peruvians themselves in their late Official Manifesto, to have been vile t'Atli23 of the war) to co-op_eratf with them. The Peruvian army, under LA MAR in person, invaded Colombia, possessed them selves, by convention, of Guyaquil, and reached Tarqui. There General SUCRE—claruni et veserabik no men— gloriously avenged his country, and dictated the terms of a Treaty, which LA MA a afterwards attempted to evade, but which is now carrying into execution in an amicable temper, that will put an end to all future mis understanding between the two countries. General tom VA a, as soon as this event was opened, ,directed SANTANDER to be released from his . confine- 4. meat, and allowed him to proceed to Europe, ig,compli ance with his own request. Thus this series of conspiracies and insurrections was interwoven ; and it now only remains to show the con necting link of Coanov A's revolts with the preced ing chain. COUDOVA had been one of the Judges of the axsassins. The trials were scarcely concluded— CoavovA had scarcely left the tribunal—when it was discovered that bo himself had been—horresco referens— ore of their accomplices. Already guilty of a ferocious and - cruel homicide, reprehensibly withdrawn from legal cognizance, he had ridded crime to crime, and even awarded punishment on co-maiefactors less guilty than himself. It was thought advisable to conceal the offence for a time. His command, however, was tacitly taken away. He was watched. His far ther machinations were made known to the Go vernment, who sought to secure him at Bogota by baiting him with an honorary employment. He, how ever, became acquainted with the design, and preferred to try the hazard of rebellion. Such is the unvarnished recital of Colombia's throes. What is further said by the writer of the article in the Globe is most true—" Columbia wants a Government that can maintain order whilst her institutions are forming, and education is training her rising generation to make proper use of them. Theories must give way to the necessity of public tranquillity, without which there can be no security of person and property—no improve ment in civilisation or commerce." Colombia, as well as all the other new States, also pines for want of peace abroad, that armies may be reduced— burthens lightened—and civil virtues may be cherished. The Li SE a ATOR has no personal ambition, in the ordinary sense of the term, but he is opposed to the federative system, and frequent elections of the executive,as incom patible with the habits, condition, and wants of the coun try, to which his valour, ability, and energy, have given independence. His wish (and in a letter to that effect, written by himself, dated 30th of August, and now in London, this wish is earnestly expressed,) is for private life : but if he should not immediately gratify it, he will be the vic tim of a sense of duty, which will not permit self-indul gence at the expense of his country.

AYLESBURY, DEC. 12.—The Duke of Wu.LiNGTON passed through Aylesbury on Monday evening, on his way from Windsor to visit the Duke of BUCKIN GII A hi, at Stowe. His Grace's late visitations to certain Noble men and Gentlemen of great political influence have given rise in this neighbourhood to various speculative opinions respecting their object.

GORDAWBURT, HERTS.—This seat of the Earl and Countess of VERULASI was on Friday last the scene of much gaiety. The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER honoured the noble host and hostess with their presence, besides an elegant party of distinguished fashionables, whom in the evening her Ladyship entertained with a splendid Ball. Mr. Uxvtlx Annutovow left town on Saturday morning, to proceed on his mission to the Court of Spain. Mr. ADDINGTON took leave of his MAJESTY at the Court held on Monday, at Windsor Castle. The American and Colombian Ministers had interviews with the Earl of ABERDEEN, on Saturday, at the Fo- reign Office. During the late journey of the Duchess de BERRI, she stopped to breakfast with four ladies of her suite at an inn at Bezier, and was charged 700 francs (281.) for the repast, which was a very indifferent one into the, bargain. At another inn at Arles she was charged 2,400 francs (about 96/.) for four repasts. The Duchess paid these extortionate demands, but not without signify ing her displeasure at them. Died on Thursday, suddenly, at Cranbury House, having been found dead in his bed, WILLIAM CIIAAI BERLAZNL, Esq. Member for the town of Southampton. His large possessions, including the Netley Abbey pro perty, which fell to him on the demise of the late Lady (Dame) HOLLAND, will devolve to his only sister, and eventually to a nephew. Although the fog in London this morning has been heavy and disagreeable, it has not been so remarkably dense as between Hounslow and Piccadilly. As the coaches approached Brentford, the fog became remark , ably thick ; in Brentford, persons in the middle of the street could not see the houses on either side. The coachmen driving four horses generally, between Kew Bridge and Hyde Park, could not see their leaders. At Turnham Green, the driver of the Cranford coach had his lamps lighted soon after ten o'clock, and between this I latter place and London, the whole road was one scene of darkness—the coachmen generally dismounting and leading their horses or employing men to do so ; cones quently, there was a continual hallooing all along the road, and it was only on approaching within six yards of the turnpikes that they could be discovered. At eleves o'clock, several of the usual stages stopped at Hammer smith or returned to Hammersmith, the passengers or the coachmen thinking it dangerous to proceed. At Kensington, and Hyde Park;: the fog was equally re markable, but it gradually abated near Piccadilly. In Piccadilly, it was not more remarkable than usual on foggy UNI VERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

ROYAL MILITARY COWRIE. At the half-yearly examination of Gentlemen Cadets, which commenced on Thursday, the 10th instant. and occupied two com plete days. as stated in our edition of Saturday last, fifty-four young Gentlemen passed, with great credit to themselves, and to the en tire satisfaction of the Board of distinguished Maws who were present upon the occasion :—a proportioo, allowing for the great reduction of numerical strength of the Junior Department, which financial considerations alone appeared to have rendered expedient, almost unprecedented, and fully demonstrative of the success and indefatigable efficiency with which the different branches of study have been carried on at the Institution. The subjects of study were the various branches of Mathematics, pure and mixed, com prising Geometry, Trigonometry, Plane and Spherical ; Conic Sec dens; the Latin, French, and German languages; the science and otted practice of Fortification, Field Engineering, Military and Landscape Drawing. &c. Into the examination of these several and important objects the Commissioners entered with great in terest and satisfaction, and bestowed the customary and merited certificates of approbation accordingly. Saturday. the 12th, the Board re-assembled, for the examination of five Officers of the Senior Department. Besides the dials. guished Officers formerly named, there vegs also present on this occasion Major General Sir Howard Douglas, Bart. formerly Com mandant of the Senior Deparment of the College. The following are the names of the Officers examined by the Board, viz.—Major Johnstone, half-pay ; Capt. W. Eyre, ditto ; Lieut. R. C. Craufurd, Scotch Greys • Lieut. W. H. Rogers, half-pay Cape Cavalry ; and Lieut. E. K. Young, 18th Foot, Royal Irish. All these Officers passed in a manner which called forth the at tire approbation of the Board—no less merited by their profes sional talents, and diligent application to study. than by correctness et conduct during their residence at the Royal Military College.

The following extract from a General Letter from the Hon. the Court of Directors in the Military Department, under date the 28th October. 1628, has been published in the Calcutta Gerensiliest Gaoler: " With respect to the recommendation of the Commander-in- Chief, that an Interpreter be appointed to each of his Majesty's Re giments serving on your establishment, we have to express our ac quiescence in the proposal, upon the salary and establishments le commended by you, namely—Staff allowance per month, sixty rupees ; Moonshee, thirty rupees; Stationary, ten rupees—Total 100 rupees. " It has been determined by the Commander-in-Chief in India that all officers of his Majesty's service under the rank of Field Mar, arriving from England, either with or without troops, and Medical Meets. shall proceed immediately to the Depot of King's troops at Chinese''', on the strength of which they will be borne, gain they shall be ordered to join their respective regiments. " The Governor-General in Council has resolved on the reduction of the Arnow Provincial Battalion, in addition to the three Pro vincial Corps already orderce dischar ed." DULL.—Thursday sennight, an affair of honour took place in a add near Kelso race course, between Captain Stewart and Ensign Pringle, both of the 92d regiment ; the former attended by Captain Noel, of the same regiment, and the latter by George Bernie, jun. 'sq. Both parties tired at the same time, and Mr. Pringle received his adversary's ball in the upper part of the right thigh. Be was immediately conveyed to the Stand House, where he still lies; and as the ball has not yet been extracted, his medical attendants cannor pronounce him free from danger. The affair having come to the knowledge of the local authorities, Captain Stewart and his second were taken into custody, and. after a Judi cial investigation, were committed to the Curie of Jedburgb, where, we suppose, they will be detained until Mr. Pringle is pro nounced te be out of danger. Mr Balliie, against whom a warrant was also issued, has hitherto evaded th e *earth made for him. Valois reports are, of akin', in circulation as to the cause of this affair ; but in the present situation of the parties, it would be highly improper to notice these rumours, or to indulge in any vague con jectures on the subject. Wednesday Eraningo—We hear Mr. Pringle continues better and that the situation of the ball bas been aftertained,and is luckil; not in a vital position, having lodged in the fleshy part of the thigh, towards the Weider: MIA NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
