Being combined in the form of Opodeldoe, it is rem tiered more penetrating, and consequently much more efficacious as n external application.

SOUTH AMERICA. _,,_._ The Colombian() of the Ist November contains an Act of the Department of Guayaquil, agreed to at a general meeting held in the Town Hall of Guayaquil, on the 20th August last, consigning, in Consequence of the troubles prevailing in Venezuela, the sovereignty of the department into the hands of the Libertad.,r, as the fa ther of the country. This Act was unanimously and enthusiastically assented to by the meeting. The same Paper also contains an Act of the Department of Pann• ma, dated the Sd September, in which, after resolving against the rupture, under any pretext, of the bonds that connect the people of Colombia, and recommending the exercise of the utmost prudence to the Vice Pi esident. they invoke, in most earnest terms, the immediate return of the Linertador, whose presence alone, it is said, would• suffice to tranquillize all hearts, to reconcile all differ-. elites, and to se•estahlish perfect union in the State. • A Commissioner from Bolivar arrived at Caraccat on the 28th October, after having visited Guayaquil, Pa nama, and Carthagena, bringing with him the Acts above noticed, and that of Cartharna. The intelli gence conveyed by these documents seems to have excited a very strong sensation in Caraccas, and the Colombia no inveighs against them, and especially against the Act of Guayaquil, as a capricious rending asunder of the Isonds which united- Ctt 4CC4S with that distah t section of the Republic. The following are the con ' chiding remarks :—" The resolutions adopted in the South have changed the whole aspect of our affairs. It becomes an. interesting question, to inquire what will now be the conduct of our neighbours ih the East and West, and even in Bogota itself ? We are assured, that there exists in that capital as strong an s adherence to sound constitutinnal principles as in any part of the R-public, and that they possess iu General Santander a staunch *tippet ter 1" PARIS, DEC lB.—Letters from Leghorn state, that on the '23J of November, the ship in which Lord Coch rane :ailed arrived. The police did not allow the crew 1 be admitted to pralique, so thy were unable to learn whether or not his Lordship was on board. It WA: said, however, that he remained at Marie lies, and that the ship had only come to seek Lady Cochrane, who was at Pi-a. Oa the other hand, it is thoagt.t that the local Government of Leghorn has written to Flo ,rence, to know what line of conduct it ought to pursue. General S:ubbs writes from Opoi to on the sth ins,. at ten o'clock at night, that Colonel Valdez had yielded, for want of provisions ; that the officers were prisoners, and the soldiers sent to Spain, because they would not listen to the promises of the it bels. General Melo and General Claudino had their head-quarters at Murca .n the 3d, and the rebels had their advanced post at Mi randella the same day, desolating everything; the Guerillas think only of plunder and assassination. Such are the accounts that General Stubbs received from pri vate information. • The Conde d'Alva writes on the 4th, as follows' : " I have this moment received a dispatch from the Cap tain General of Andalusia, and another from the mili tary Governor of Ayainonte, of which I send copies to your Excellency, to be laid before the Infanta Regent, and as it appears from their contents that the arms and accoutrements .which. were taken to Spain by the deser ters of the 14th regiMent of infant' y, and the 14th of cacadores, are to be delivered up to me. I am going to appoint two officers, one to receive the at tillery, one the accoutrements." The General of Lower Beira write; from Castello Branco,on the 4:b of December, at nine o'clock in the morning:— Up to this day the rebels have not appeared on this frontier with any armed force; but about two hours ago I wai informed that a . 'Convoy of arms and ammu• &mina, had arrived at Valverde, two leagues from l'::- 113111:1C01. I am assembling , the militia, and assure your Escellency,that if they, do not enter in too large a force, I will do everything posible to repel them." The General of Upper Beira wines from Vizeu on the Sth, that on the 2d of this month, about two in the after noon, the Et-Lieutenant Camel of the regiment of Mi litia of Trancozo entered the frontier of that province with some armed men, and proceeded to the house of the Mayor Castello Rodrigo, whOm he grossly insulted, took away papers, released the prisoners, posted up pro clamations, proceeded from that place to Almendra and other places, spreading confusion. A detachment of the 6th regiment of infantry r ut down an attempt at rebellion in Villa Nova de Faz-Coa. The commander of this detachment behaved bravely. Similar conduct WAS shewn by a piquet of - caw ali y, No. 10, which skirmished with some rc bele: who t meted from the Al deia da Ribeira. The same General writes, that Jose R:beiro de SJ, Lieutenant of the Militia of Lamego, with some solJiers, and an Ensign of the lame Regiment, fired at anti took prisoners some rebels of Villa de Bertia-da. Up to the SJ, Lamegu was tranquil. He had also given orders to organite the 'guerillas, as he had teen desired. Some unworthy Portuguese have raised t'le standard 'of revolt, their treason is patent, the country is ipvaded. Honour and loyalty command you to fly to arms to secure the national independence, to save the country. Her Rayal Highness the Princess Regent places every confidence in the valour and fidelity of the troops of the second army. She judges from the important services which they have alre rdy performed, of those which they will yet perform. Her Royal Highness commands a voluntary enrolment, for sis months, in the regiments of infantry and chasseurs. That period is more than sufficient for the salvation of the State. Leave of absence, and release from all future service, will be granted to those uho may answer this appeal, which is made egnally to all citizens i the friends of their Country, of Don Pedro, and of the Charter. The Count de Vlll.l and the Marquis d'An jeja, Pee, s of the Kingdom, have been named—the first Com mandant of Arms in the province of Alentejo—and the second of that of Minho. In one of the late sittings of the Chamber of Dept'- , ties. the Commission appointed to examine the proposi tion brought forward by the Deputy Guerreiro, has resolved that it deserves to be taken into consideration, as embracing an object of great importance to the pub , lic safety. The Commission therefore proposes the fol lowing project of a law, which it thinks can be imme diately discussed. All those are declared guilty of high treason, in the first degree, who, being out of the kingdom, have re entered it in arms, or in the company of armed indi viduals. This fact will alone be dee.ned sufficient to establish the crime, and to subject those guilty of the present incursion to the punishments. which attach to high treason in the first degree.
