pNIIIN COLUMBIA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. LETTER IV. Beeoes, Sass. MISTS. S tit ,—Venezuels was the first to suffer the chastise ment of these errors : it is true, however, that in this c ut nature came to the aid of tyranny ! The earthquake of 1812, extended its ravages over all that was patriotic t h ere , cutting off the physical resources of the Re public, to such adegree indeed as capriciously to consume all those which belonged to the enemy. As might be an ticipated, fanaticism eagerly seized hold of this event, tol represent the catastrophe as an evident visitation from Heaven ; new ecclesiastical censures were fulminated against the insurrection ; the moral force being thus destroyed, and the country wounded in her very bosom, her power and intellectual exertions, she had only to cover herself with a mantle of sorrow and expire I' But she soon resncitated. Great Political convulsions scarcely ever fail to raise a man up, capable of directing the destinies of his country. Bolt V AR, who had com menced his career of glory, on the banks of the Mag dalena, developed on this occasion the energy of his character. Exiled by the Congress of New Granada, and having for his companions in arms Ruins, D'EL- 111'.S5R, JIRARDOT, and URDAN ETA , he defeated, with a handful of brave followers, the enemy's bands in Cucuta, the Taguanes, and at Aruare ; then hastening to the heights of Guaire, cut off the sea from MONTE- If ?ADZ, &AMON TO ERDEIVhO, with a ferocity not often imitated by his countrymen, had trod under foot the laws of nations, violated the solemn capitulation of San Mateo, and covered Venezuela with mourning and tears. d es olating these unhappy provinces with fire and sword, proscribing all that was patriotic an I virtuous, these monsters renewed the horrors of the early conquest, and forced us into acts of just reprisal. Although reinforced by the troops which CAJIO AL I brought from Spain, the enemy could not advance a *top, without being encountered and beaten by RIB" URDA META, MONTILLA and MARI IN O. BOLIVAR, struggling not only with the numerical superiority of his adversaries, but against the insubordination, apathy, and discontent of • the people themselves, (provoked by the exactions of some of his own Lieutenants) saw himself at length be- Y 4 trayed by fortune ; and from the result of the ill-fated days "' lt of Curs, Urica, and la Puerta, nearly the whole country II became the theatre of the vengeance and fury of Morales. ti Always bearing the honour and interests of his country st heart, the Hero of Carabobe returned to New Granada, to obtain succours for delivering Venezuela. Having by this time heard of the return of FERDINAND to Spain, of his Ammo Decree of the 4th of May ; the hostile mea sures" to be adoptell against South America, which formed the resolution never to return to the yoke. The Congress of Granada proved faithful to its mission. De spising equally the menaces and promises of the Spanish despot, the representatives of the people replied t• them by decreeing an immediate levy en masts. Santa-fe, whose President, NARINO, hall deli vered a portion of the South, after the glories' adieu at Calivio,Juanambii, tuiaTacines ' refused his contingent, not to the country, but to that authority." ,But the province of Cundinamarca having been subiltradrity Bo- Lives it entered into the confederacy , and tlY war was this terminated. A central government yeas *then installed in the capital of New Granada, leaving the exe cutiveliptree in the hands of a triumvirate, it was re solved to prosecute the war with vigour. To this effect, troops were sent to Popayan to check the progress of the royalists, who had contrived to re: cover their previous losses. Joining the corps of URDANETA, charged with defending the province Pamplona, it was decided that Bora', ea should proceed to dislodge the Spanish forces at Santa Martha, and thence march for the liberation of Venezuela. It already seemed that New Granada was about to consolidate its future independence and prosperity, when the venom of discord was again disseminated, to threaten it with slavery and ruin. Actuatedby an unjust spirit of disobedience to na authority, the representatives of Carthagena refused the auxiliaries which were ordered to be placed at the disposi tion of BOLIVAR. A fratricidal contest now ensued be tween the troops which should have delivered Santa- Martha, while the enemy profited by our dissemble' to possess himself of Barranquilla and Mompos, and of the warlike stores in these places, as well as the slender forces we had on the Magdalena. During the siege of Carthagena, the provisions collected in the fortress were consumed, and the place deprived of that assistance which it had formerly received from the inte rior provinces. On the news that the worthy executor of FERDI NAND Vll.'s decrees had arrived at the head of a large armament, BoLiv s s adopted one of those resolutions so worthy of his energetic mind. He determined to ablest himself from a country, to which circumstances rendered it, for the moment, impossible to be useful. Exhorting the Government of Carthagena to prepare for a vigorous resist ance ; and requesting that the troops hitherto under his command might be employed against the common enemy,he embarked for Jamaica, with the intention of waiting a more favourable opportunity of recommencing that war which he had from the first sworn to wage against despotism. • When there is no disposition to listen to reason, says Plummy, she does not fail to make her voice beard. The whole of Venezuela having been reconquered by the united forces of MORILLO and MORALES, the ex pedition disembarked at Santa- Martha , and soon after laid beige to Carthagena, which place, with a weak garrison, exhausted by previous attacks, closely block aded by land and sea, was defended with an obsti nacy and heroism every way worthy of the cause it bad to sustain. Whenever the soldiers of Fan DIN4WD attempted to reduce the city by force of arms, they were driven back. Though struggling with hunger and famine, a prey to pestilence and disease — their situation aggravated by every imaginable evil, not a voice was heard from the friends of freedom ,to Propose a catalatioon or solicit terms form the enemy. At the en d of one hundred and sixteen days, wben every hope of relief or successful resistance had va nished, the inhabitants resolved to abandon the soil under which their forefathers slept, rather than be again sub jected to the hated yoke. All those who had sufficient strength to rise from their beds hastened on board the vessels in the bay : the emigrants broke through the enemy's squadron, and like those of Tyre, Thew, and Phocea 2,000 unhappy exiles went to seek an asylum in a distant land, that might preserve them from the renewed domination of their tyrants !

Prom a Correspondent. •An =tient 'triter, CLJUDINI SLIA NUS, observes N Seas sad reproaches to me seetn'of no force : for if therreet with a solid mind they are Chattered to pieces ; 4§etif with mean and low, they have power, and many times occasion not only grief but death ; whereof take this instance: SOCRATES= -derided ill a comedy, laughed, but POLIAO RUB himself." It would ap pear that informations ex-ofseio were not in fashion in the time and country of poor POLIAORUS. Had that desirable remedy been within his reach, with an expert ATTORN SY-GENERAL to administer it, the sufferer need not have sought relief i,n suicide by the application of a halter. Of the scoffs which only excited the laughter of SOCRATES, the same author gives the following ac count :—" Ax ITV'S and his companions having studied to ruin SOCRATIC', they suborned ARISTOPHAN ES, S UOMiC Poet, to bring him upon the stage, taxing him with crimes which most men knew him free from, imper tinent discourse, making a bad cause by argument seem good, introducing new and strange deities, whilst him self believed and reverenced none. ARiSTOrueNES, taking this theme, interweaves it with much abusive mirth and pleasant verses. At first, the ATtreylSllll, who expected nothing less, were struck with wonder : then being naturally envious, and apt to detract from the best persons, not only such as bore office in the Common wealth, but any that were eminent for learning or virtue, they begun to be taken with " The Clouds," so was the play named, and cried up the poet with more applause than any ever-before. In fine, the play obtained extra ordinary, credit, and it being at that time the Feast of Bacchus, a multitude of Grecians went to see the play. SOCRATES being personated on the stage, and often named, the strangers who were present, raised a hum and whisper, every one asking who that Soc ATES was, which he observing, for he had chosen the most conspi cuous seat in the theatre, to put the strangers out of doubt, he rose up, and all the while the play lasted, continued in that position. So much did SocRATaS despise the Comedy and the Athenians themselves." Of Ax YTUS and his companions, the names only survive in the re cord of their infamy ; and " The Clouds" formed by the native genius of the poet, though they amused a lively and fickle people for a while, at the expense of this excellent man, could not cast a shade upon the lustre of his character. Why can we not recognise the same magnanimity in the Duke of WELLINGTON ?—IS it to assert the equality of human nature the victor in a hun dred fights has been allowed, in the ordinary business of life, to descend to the level of common men ?—An hun dred convictions could not have so effectually vindicated the character of SOCRATES as the dignified contempt with which he treated the efforts of his enemies to de stroy it. An hundred convictions could not have more effectually established his innocence than the impotence of these efforts to compel a defence or justification. Had SOCRATES pursued a different course ; bad he cited his calumniators to a Court of Justice; had he filled Athens with the complaint of his wrongs the trait would be wanting which is now appealed to as hence of the perfection of his character, and he would not fill the exalted station which he now occupies in history. The Noble Duke does not foresee the loss his character will sustain in the estimation of posterity in thus measuring himself by the standard of ordinary wen and little minds. Of the charges which have sorely affected him some are more calculated to excite a smile than a feeling of anger. What shall we think of the charge in which it is stated that " His MAJESTY was afraid to shew himself in public," a charge which the feeling in every man's heart in England repels. Is not its folly, its impotence and absurdity, manifested in the laughter which it caused in the Court ? Is the charge of meditating the establish ment of a WELLESLEY dynasty in these realms less ridiculous? The Noble Duke pronounced a libel upon himself, when he presumed, as we must suppose he did pre sume, that there was any considerable portion of his MA JUT Y's subjects upon which it could have made the slightest impression. Such an intention would betray the grossest ignorance of the public mind, of the history and of the laws of England. The Dukes of NORTIIUIIBERLAND and NORFOLK, who were charged with a like frantic am bition, paid the penalty of their lives on the scaffold. But the attempt which, in the times of these Noblemen, was only frantic, is now become impracticable also. Who is there who does not know that no such matrimonial alli ance as that alleged to be in the contemplation of the Noble Duke, can be contracted without the consent of the Bing in Council—a Council responsible to the people ? From delicacy, and the respect due to the Royal Infant whose name has been introduced into this charge ; we think this offspring of a disturbed fancy, might have been suffered to die a natural death, if in fact it ever possessed even an ephemeral existence. The recommendation to mercy accompanying one of the ver dicts against the Morning Journal, establishes the fact of their origin in the excitement produced by the Roman Catholic Relief Bill.—An amnesty for offences com mitted at such a crisis and under such influence, is the course true wisdom would dictate--Government acted upon this principle in the abandonment of the prosecution against Mr. LAWLESS; and we knoiv not why a different policy has been adopted here. The Irish, no doubt, are an irritable people, and agitation among them might be attended with danger. The people of this country, on the contrary, are presumed to be of a dull, phlegmatic temper, and the noble Duke thinks he may here indulge his feelings without any risque. . , A letter dated Nice, 18th instant, says—" We have been here five weeks, during which the weather has been uncommonly cold, for Nice: we have now very fine ldays, with clear atmosphere and hot sun, but with cold wind; and in, the course of the nights, the thermometer down to 32 and 33." The Duke of WELLINGTON tow left non Saturday afternoon, on a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of SA Lisauftv, at their residence at Hatfield, Herm. There was a select party invited to meet his Grace. His Majesty the King of Sweden and Norway has just presented, as a testimony of his regard, to Sir Theo philus Leo, one of our county Magistrates, a superb ring, with his Majesty's crown and initials, in brilliants, sur rounded by 108 diamonds. The ring was conveyed by the Chamberlain, the Count Eric Lewenhauget, in a polite note, testifying the regard for the King, and his thanks for same valuable documents Sir Theophilus has presented to his Majesty.—Portsmouth Herald. During the recent visit of the Marquis of Anglesey at Croome, the seat of the Earl of Coventry, the cor poration of Worcester presented the noble Marquis with the freedom of that city, in token of their admiration of his military services ; and, on its presentation, bestowed a very high encomium on those services which he ree- - dared to Ireland during his viceregal government in that country. This indication of the happy triumph of liberal opinions, and the total annihilation of those bitter reli gious, prejudices which have so long and so mieehievoasly prevailed, is particularly valuable, consider* law in ready seltimeata of en opposite nature had gaited the ascendancy in this part of the country. t; • THE SERPENTIIIit —.owl the ice perdelly bore ea the south Nide ; atse elf the most adveeturous eked.., was immersed. to the waist, but be extricated himself in time.

A more severe and rigorous winter has sot been "upon enced in this part of the country for many years. At some distance from the town the fall of snow has been prodi gious ; in many instances sheep have been lost is the drifts, and many accidents have happened.

QUEENSBERRY LEGACIES. THOMAS V. MONTGOMERY. The LORD CHANCELLOR was engaged in the Cu:1: t of Chancery on the 21st inst. in hearing Counsel for the legatees, annuitants, and weekly pensioners of the late Duke of Queensberry, who died on the 23d day of December,lBlo, and who by his will appointed Sir James Montgomery, Bart. William Murray, and Edward Bel ' lock Douglas, &qrs. his executors, and left legacies to the amount of £605,500, annuities of £5,584 ss. per annum, and weekly allowances of £6 17s. being equal to £357 3s. 6d. per annum. The Duke directed that his 1 legacies should be paid within three months after his death, consequently they became due en the 23d March, 1811 ; and be directed his executors, out of his personal leetate, to invest in their names, in the Three per Cent. IConsols, as much stock as would be sufficient for the pay ment of the annuities. The Legacies were not paid on the 23d March, 1811, when they became due ; neither were the annuitiLs and 'allowances—because claims to a very great amount were threatened to be brought in Scotland against the Duke's estate, and which occasioned proceedings to be had in the I Court of Chancery. In 1814 the funds in Court b ecame equal to pay or amide for the legacies, annuities, or allowances, and to have a considerable surplus. Under these circumstances, tie legatees and annuitants presented a petition to the Lord Chancellor (Eldon), praying that their legacies and interest, and arrears of annuities and weekly pensions,• might be appropriated in stock, but that the stock FO appropriated should remain under the controul of the Court, and that it should be subject to all or any of the demands which should be established against the Diako of Queensberry's estate. The petition came on to be heard before Lord Eldon on the 16th Aug. 1814, when his Lordship directed the Master in Chancery to proceed upon certain enquiries which he had directed by an order of the 17th July, 1812, and to report thereon, and that the rest of the pe tition should stand over. The Master in Chancery having yesterday reported to the Court that there was a considerable sum in stock re maining in the hands of the Accountant-General after setting apart a sufficient sum to answer the outstanding and unsettled Scotch clabis against the Duke of Queens berry's estate, the residuary legatees presented a petitiott to the Lord Chancellor to have £150,000 stock, part of the remaining fund, transferred to them ; but the le gatees, annuitants, and weekly pensioners, presented a counter petition to his Lordship, maintaining that nearly • the whole of the remaining fund belonged to thenk, upon the grounds of the petition of 1814, as to un op- ~ prop-iation, which they have now brought forward. This important question has occupied the Chancellor's attention the whole of the 21st inst. and new stand* over until after the holidays, the counsel for the legatee, only having been heard. Last week the Marquis of HASTINGS had a rat. batty at Donington Park, when his Lordship and friends killed upwards of three hundred head of game in three hours and a half ; the shooting was excellent, ;,he party consisting of the following Nobleman end, Gentlemen: — Lords Hastings and Cowry; the, ilkeombiee Stanhope, and Dundee; Messrs.
