SOUTH AMERICAN REGISTER. COLUMBIA. mom THE GACETA DE CARTAGENA. Althongh the abortive attempt of CoaDoiv A to dis turb public tranquillity is almost forgotten by this time, the following account of the operations which led to that traitors' discomfiture will be interesting to the friends of Columbia. Translation of a despatch addressed to to the Prefect of Magdalena; by General DANIEL F. O'LEs RE, Com mander-in-Chief of the forces employed to put down the rebellion of CORDOVA. Head-quarters, Rionegm, Oct. I 182 U. EXCELLENT SIR,—I have the satisfaction to inform you that on the 17th, after a fatiguing march, owing to the bad state of the roads, we met General CORDOVA and his followers at Santuario, where, after an obstinate resistance, CORDOVA was killed, and those who joined in his attempt either fell, or were dispersed. Our loss was inconsiderable, while that of the rebels was very great. The result of this action has been, that we bare obtained entire posses. sion of the province, and the re-establishment of order and confidence. I regret being unable, for want of time, to communicate more cir cumstantial details. Accept the assunatees of high consideration, with which I have the honour to be, &c. dee. D. F. O'LEARY. f to the troops under hie command':— SOLD 111111: It is now twenty dais since the government en. trusted us with the glorious mission of pacifying this Province, and chastising the traitors. Some laborious marches, and a single battle, have terminated your enterprise, while they attest your; valour and constancY. Victory has covered your brows with laurels, and the go. vemment will reward your patriotism. _ _ . _ " SOLDIERS: The corpse which you contemplate with such just indignation, was a man spoiled by fortune. The generosity of the Li axmeroa raised him to the first rank of our army, and conferred on him the highest honours. Inebriated by prosperity, be turned against his benefactor and his country. May his fate operate as a salutary example to the ungrateful and traiterous : and your conduct, as a model to the true sons of Columbia ! SOLDIERS, I who have participated in your fatigues and dangers, and who have had: the glory to conduct you to triumph, thank you in the name of the LIBERATOR. Let us now proceed to dry the tears of the widows and orphans of the unhappy victims who sur round us. Generosity brightens the heroic deeds of the brave ! HEAD QUARTERS at the Santuario. Oa 17, 1829. D. F. O'LEARY. TO THE INHABITANTS Or AXTIOQUTA. ANTIOQUICANS !--Your province was a seats of repose, honour, and prosperity : the laws were obeyed, and Government respected, until General Conaova raised the standard of rebellion among you. A traitor to his country, a traitor to his duty, and a traitor to his benefactor, General CORDOVA has violated all that is respect able in social order ; and to render his treason more execrable, the sacred spot in which the ashes of his fathers lay interred, was chosen as the scene of his crimes. PROVIDENCE, ever just, has to-day been pleased to punish so many crimes and appease the na tional vengeance with the blood of the traitor. Antioqueans I—You are blameless. The Government which has sent me to protect you is just and merciful. D. F. O•LEARY. Head-Quarters Santuario, Oct. 17, 1899. PEACE BETWEEN COLUMBIA AND PERU. A copy of the definitive Treaty concluded by the respective Ple nipotentiaries on the 22d of September was received by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on the 19th ultimo. It was sent by the Secretary of the Liberator, in order to be submitted to the Council of State. We shall have the *mute of submitting this important document to our readers the moment it is ratified. In the mean time, we cannot but congratulate our country on the termination so unnatural a contest. COVENT GARDEN. Monday evening MURPHY'S Tragedy of the Grecian Daughter was repeated at this house, and introduced Miss FANNY KEMBLE, for the fourth time, in the cha racter of Euphrasia. This young Lady still continues the lion, or perhaps we ought more properly to say the lioness, of the day, among the admirers of the drama. The pit, which has been generally accepted as the district of intellect and region of criticism, was crammed in every corner as soon as the doors were opened. The region of fashion—the private and dress, and the second circles, were all nearly filled when the curtain rose ; in fact, the whole house was incapable of receiving much accession from the half-price visitors. A new writ was moved for on Monday night for Caine, in the room of the Hon. J. Abercromby, appointed Lord Chief Baron of Scotland. SINGULAR Clacumsy.axcx.--A few days ago, Mrs. Priestley, of Whitwell, near Nottingham, was seised with sudden illness, which terminated, as was supposed, in death ; she was laid out, and arrangements were made for the funeral, such as ordering the coffin, &c. After re maining in that state upwards of nine hours, a neighbour happening to go into the house observed a moisture di• rectiy opposite her mouth, which induced her to remove the sheet, when she perceived signs of life manifest themselves by the trembling of her eyelids ; immediate assistance was procured, and she is now perfectly re covered.

ABUSE OF PATRONAGE IN THE NAVY. The following letter, addressed to the Editor of the Morning Herald, will be read with great interest by our naval friends : Ma. Entrort—The abuse of patronage at a period like the pre sent is, to say the least, both ill-tinted and insulting, particularly to old officers, who are anxiously looking forward to remuneration for past services. Such acts of injustice as the one pointed out by your ' Correspondent, an Old Lieutenant in his Majesty's service, are too freeitaiitt, and should be publicly exposed. The Post Captains and Cowman', according to a late statement in your valuable Paper, amount to no less than 1,800 ; two-thirds of the number I will boldly assert, without the fear of contradiction, were not born when myself and the party present were serving as Lieutenants in ships of the line, and remain ;in the same rank to this day. Your cone. spottdent is not aware of the arrangements lately entered into for the benefit of his Majesty's service, or that the navy has of late years been divided into three classes t—The first consists of the flag officers and post captains, who rise by seniority; the second are the die-hards, or, more properly speaking, commanders and lieutenants, wholhave fought, bled, and grown grey in that country's service— Whose applications are disregarded, and past services a dead letter in the alphabetic scale of promotion; the third class consists of admiral, captain, and 31.P.'s sons, who, notwithstanding their inexperience in the service, according to the arrangement alluded to, are the only persons eligible for promotion, and who, bad the war continued, would have filled every department in the pub. Ile offices of the State in preference to the naval service. The Navy, Mr. Editor, is the only department employed by the State that floe* not rise by seniority. Why this should be the case we know not, but are well aware that, until this is effected, it is In vain to look for justice or impartiality in the selection of officers for pro. motion. (diva the First Lord of the Admiralty a salary equivalent to his rank and situation, abolish patronage altogether, and let the Royal prerogative be reserved for came of particular service. This, Mr. Editor, would create a spirit of emulation, dispel the deepen. dency that pervades all classes of his Majesty's Navy, and the sun. shine of satisfaction would be conspicuous in every department of the Naval Service.—With best wishes for this happy change, we remain, Mr. Mot, most respectfully, yours.

The Ward was immediately can vassed, and a fund has been raised to a considerable amount, which the committee are now actively distri buting, in coals, meat, bread, &c. at the habitations of the destitute and distressed. An invest was held yesterday, at the George, Shep herd's Bush, on the body of Elisabeth Williams, aged 32. The deceased, who was lady's maid to Lady Cockburn, was well on Sunday morning ; and having attended upon her ladyship before dinner, went into the nursery, when she fell down on the floor in n fit of apoplexy, and ex pired in a few minutes afterwards. A verdict to that effect was returned. We were concerned to hear that the Right Ho nourable Sir Samuel Shepherd has been induced to resign the distinguished office of Lord Chief Baron of Sostland, in oonsequence of continued indisposition.

The Journal du Commerce of Sunday in adverting to the Opening of Parliament, observes that nothing could be more vague and insign i ficant than the King's Speech, especially as far as foreign politics are concerned. The -Ministry confines itself to a promise of future cornmeal cations impacting Greece ; and with regard to Portugal, we perceived in the Speech a tendency or leaning towards the recognition of Don Miguel. It is quite clear that the Crown cannot even announce a prospect et any reesseilier ties between the Primes of the Hoeft eit Braianas. Therefor% if England re-establishis its dipleinatled intercourse with Portugal, which is tessamommt to recogniiing Don Miguel, she does it without the con sent of the Emperor of Brazil, which would conse quently taking a share in the quarrel which tie vainly sad/avowed to avoid, where sbe to desiete 10 from of Doe Miguel against Don Pedro.

Pursuant to a requisition addressed to John Ruggles Brice, Esq. High Sheriff of the dainty, and his com pliance therewith, calling a meeting of the freeholders and inhabitants of the county. to assemble on the Corn hill, Ipswich, on Saturday, the 6th of February, "to express their sentiments on the present critical position of the agricultural interest," a meeting did accordingly take place, at which about 40,000 persons assembled. Among them we noticed, Sir Thomas Sherlock, and Sir William Rowley, Bart. members for the county ; Sir William Parker, Bart. Sir Robert Harland, Bart. Sir ' Edward Kerrison, Bart. Sir W. F. F. Middleton, Bart. Sir Merles Broke Were, Hart Logan, Esq. &c. and a vast number of respectable land owners and occupiers, tradesmen, &c. Ths High Sheriff, having stationed himself in one of the. waggons placed in front of the Tuns Inn, briefly opened the business of the meeting, and Sir War. PARICKR immediately presented himself, and moved the following petition : " Your petitioners approach your hon. house to lay before you the appalling pecuniary difficulties which pervade this district of England, and to call the earliest attention of your hon. house to the causes which am bringing our agricultural population and Its de. pendant. in all trades to pauperism and ruin. “ That we believe they wilkespedally be found in the cruel fluctu ations which have been effected in our currency—in the contraction and consequent enhancement of the value of the circulating medium, to a degree which renders It inadequate to the wants of a country encumbered with such enormous taxation, and impoverished by a system which unduly depreciates the products of domestic in dustry. We believe that, evident as these causes are In aggravating the distress we experience, others, very potential ones, are to be dis. covered in the fallacious protection which appears to guard the in terests of British agriculture; in the un-English secrecy in which the averages from the corn dealers• returns alone are elicited; in the vast influx of foreign corn and wool admitted to our markets for home consumption, to the depression or exclusion of our own ; and in the two oppressive duties on beer and malt, which, notwith standing the enormous increase of our people, circumscribe yo ea. sentially the conversion of our barley. "That we believe we suffer great injustice from the anomalous law which lards coal, an expensive fuel with us, with severe taxation and leaves this mineral (a source of indeterminable wealth and pro fitable employment) in the northern and midland counties, happily free from contributions to the public revenue, and is thus manifestly Injurious to the interests of our population, and of our manufactures of bricks, lime, melt, and iron. " That we believe that, in concurrence with the prosperity or de cline of British agriculture, our empire will flourish or decay ; and in this conviction we entreat your Honourable Howe to give until. aided consideration to the means of relieving your petitioners from present sufferings, and of averting the dangers we have too much reason to anticipate, by an expansion of the currency on • secure and permanent basis; by adopting, as the ground-work of - our averages, the return of the corn growers instead of those of the deniers in corn (at all times open to inspection 0 by remission of the duties on beer and malt, with permission of unrestricted sale of the farmer; finally, by the severest retrenchment in each depart. mart of the public expenditure." Sir THOMAS Goocn, in the course of a long speech, observed that there was nothing so dangerous to a country as to be always tampering with the currency ; but we should not have withdrawn the paper currency in the haste we did ; and if we alter the currency again, Haillft4 will know what he is worth. The effects of returning to a paper currency would be to unsettle the transactions of men, from one part of the kingdom to another. The sub ject of taxation (Sir Thomas continued) comes last. I wish every man to be paid, but not overpaid, and, there fore, } would strike at the root of all extravagance. The nation is now in the same state as a man who is in em barrassed ' circumstances, and who must lower his ex penses to meet his income. We cannot remain as we have been, but must lessen our expenditure ; Govern ment, therefore, must strike off all placemen and pen sions ; and we also must keep pace with the Govern ment, by reducing our own expenses. I (said Sir T. G.) will never assist in laying one farthing more of taxes on the country. (A person said, " You have done enough now !") Our system of taxation goes on a wrong foun dation. Every person should be taxed in proportion to the property he wants to have secured, and the people who enjoy luxuries-ought to pay for them. I think the first tax to be repealed should be that on malt, which I always considered a very unjust and vexatious one. This i s no new opinion. I have always said so. How is the poor man taxed ? Why, he pays more than 150 per cent. on beer, and the yeomanry only 35 per cent, on their luxuries. This is not just. This is the first blow we should strike in the revision of taxation. Sir The:. mas concluded by saying that he should use every ex ertion to keep faith with the public creditor, and, at the same time, to reduce our expenditure in every way consistent with the best interests of the country.-- 1 (Cheers.) An amendment, little differing, however, in principle; was proposed by Mr. QuILT/R, but, after some dis cussion, he withdrew it. The luau SH ERI Tr then put the petition to a show • of hands. There were none held up against it. The Meeting then dispersed. A new epic poem, *waded " Bonaparte in Egypt," ispeparisir for publication in Pans. A comedy her been let* received at the Odeon, in Paris, entitled " The Libel ; or, the Sub-prefect on hie Tour.' The - number of theatrical bill-stickers in Paris has been recently reduced to thirty. They are all licensed by the police. M. Derrecq, a respectable inhabitant of Vangirard, war summoned on Saturday last, before the Correctional Police of Paris by his Doctor for the expenses of at tendance upon his wife, which he refused to pay on the ground that the Doctor bad several times gone into the lady's bathing-tub to ascertain that the water was wt. the proper degree of heat.
