SOU % AFRICA. • PROCLAMAtIDN OF BOLIVAR. ANEZUELA 631—The glory of your brave chain. aims has tarnished by the crime of fratricide. Is (Mk the w h which was to crown your virtue and your valour ? ray down your parricidal arms, and spare your country. Listen to the voice of your brcther and your companion, before you make the la , t sacrifice of that blood which has eluded the grasp of tyranny, and which Heaven was preset ving for the support of the Republic of heroes. Venezuelans!—l solemnly pledge my word th ft a convocation of the people shall be made, in order calmly to deliberate on their welfare and their s ye reignty. You will be ere long—nay, before the ezpira fano of this year—consulted to declare yourselves 261 regards the time, place, and manner intended to be, ag eed upon for the grand National Convention. There' you will, without restraint, declare your sovereignty.—, There you will publish your fundamental laws ; and as the sole arbiters of your fate, select that which will be /nog conducive to your happiness. Utbiaased by those , in power, or by any private individual,' or even by a portion of the community, the majority will constitute the sovereign body. He is a tyrant who assumes the, privilege of the people, and his power the work of 1 usurpation. ff Venezuelans I—l march towards you, determined to place myself between your bayonets and your breasts. I prefer to die rather than see you dishonoured ; igno.. l :rainy is still worse than tyranny, to avoid which we have sacrificed every thing. Woe to those who spurn my admonition, and are found deficient in their duty ! Iltad.quarters of the Liberator, Maracaibo, 16th Dec. 1826. " BOLIVAR."

THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1827. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The storm is now over, the account settled, and we have a quiet morning, without any more failures at present. Consols, which left off yesterday at 1 1 , opened this morning at the same price ; but anon after they went dawn to 82i buyers, and afterwards were done at 821 for Money ; and may be quoted at present at 821 for April Account, and near the same for Money. The Colombian Government intends, after the Ist of January, to lay an additional duty of seventeen and a ball per cent. on all British manufactured goods. It is reported that the Americans are fitting out vessels to make serisals against France. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. Within this half hour, the Coosa' niarket has become very heavy, and Consols, which were in the earlier part of the day at 8211, have since fallen to 811 to 82 for April Account. At present they may be quoted at 82 for the Account. Rumour says, it is in con sequence of the Ministers going ,to fund. Other reports state, it is owing to the Americans fitting out vessels as reprisals against France, to enforce the payment of their claims. PRICE OF STOCKS AT TWO O'CLOCK.

The Bulletin at Fife House, this day stat•s—" Tha t Lord LIVERPWL, after passing another good night, has gained some ground sinc: yesterday." nounces in the following terms the melancholy news' of her untimely death : " sevErerszern A I'D LAS : f BUDLATIM, 11TH DECIMBER, A QUAITEVAST TiN, A.M. • " The public are informed that, most . unhappily, the illtrns of her Majesty the Empress has resisted all the fforts employed, with unremitted zeal by all the phr sicians of the Imperial Household, GOD was pleased to call her to himself at a quarter past ten o'clock. (Signed) 0 I3ARON DE INHOMERINE." From the first bulletin, it appears that her Majesty had been suffering ever since the beginning of No vember, when tie Baron de Inhomerina was called in to attend her. Her Majesty had nearly completed her 30th year ; her age, being 29 years 10 months and 19 days. She was married on the 13th of May, 1817, to the Crown Prince, now Emperor of Brazil. _ _. _ • Doting the time that elapsed from the publication of the first bulletin to the fatal termination of her Majesty's illness, the anxiety of the inhabitants of the capital was extreme; the Palace was constantly sur rounded with crowds of persons, both natives and foreigners, of all classes, eager to catch some in formation that might flatter the ardent hopes which they cherished of her Majesty's recovery ; but the 10th bulletin published on the Bth December excited the greatest alarm, which was augmented by every suc ceeding account till her death. The disorder seems to have been a severe bilious attack, rendered more dan gerous by her state of pregnancy, which terminated in I miscarriage on the night of the Ist of December: from that time, with some occasional intervals, her Majesty continued to grow worse. The following Papers to the 16th contain the accounts of the public demon stations of grief ; the lying in state, and the funeral, which was performed with much pomp on the 14th of December. Public mourning was ordered for six months, and the Courts of Justice were closed for eight days. The Emperor being absent, there is scarcely any news in the Rio Papers, which are almost wholly filled with European intelligence, especially from Portugal. The following are some extracts : DEC. 11.—The Astrea, No. 71, of 7th December, having published two articles said to have been copied from the Memorial Bordelais, containing a letter stated to have been written by his Majesty the Emperor to Dr. Francia, Director of Paraguay, and the answer of the latter to his Majesty, we are authorised to disavow this correspondence, which its absurd tenor sufficiently proves to be a forgery. Dec. 21.—News having been received of the happy arrival of his Majesty the Emperor at Santa Cartharina, Te Deux: has been celebrated today on this account in the Imperial Chapel, at which the Council and the Mi nisters of State and the . Court were present. Dac.23.—An official letter from St. Catharine's, dated Cuidade de Desterro, 9th December, says, that his Majesty the Emperor was met on the 3d, in the morning, in Campo Born, twenty-eight leagues from that town; that he was in excellent health, and proceeding with the same rapidity to the province of St. Pedro. The subsequent Papers, to the 4th of January inclu sive, contain no further accounts; nor do any of them, from the 26th of November to the 4th of January, make any mention of military operations. Also a Jamaica Mail arrived this morning, with pa'pers and letters to the 9th of Jan. The following are some extracts from the papers brought by this con veyance: RIO DR LA HACHE, Drx. 25. A vessel has arrived here in two days from Mirai: cabo, bringing accounts of Bolivar having entered that place on his route to Valencia. He was received most enthusiastically by the inhabitants; a large canopy made of silk was erected at the entrance of the town, under which he received the public authorities ; after which he was conducted to the Palace, headed by a number of young Ladies. He then issued a Proclamation. Paez, after declaring in favour of a federal form of Governmeat, wanted to form one at Caraccas, and to place himself at its head, and to be quite independent of Bolivar. He marched at the head of his army against Porto Bello, but was refused admittance into the town he then commenced an attack on it, but was twice driven off with some loss. It is confidently expected, that as soon as Bolivar and the troops (which are said to be much dissatisfied) will desert Paez, that he will be brought instantly to a Court Martial for his conduct. The Colombian Government intends, after the Ist of next month, Jan. to lay an additional duty of 17i per cent. on all British manufactured goods. Caraecas Papers, which have reached us by the same Channel, through the N.irth and South Ame rican Coffee-heu-e, mention that the bland of Mar garita has adhered to the determination expressed throughout the principal cities of the Republic, to solicit the assembly of the Grand Convention, and the intro duction of reforms in the Constitution. It has at the same time separated itself from the department of the Maturin, and incorporated itself with that of Venezuela. Two communications have likewise been made to the Civil and Military Chief of Venezuela, by the British Consul; the one relative to the sth Ar ticle of the Decree, published by Government here on Bth July last, declaring that they would not be respon sible for the property of such foreigners as should con tinue to reside in the territory which had refused them obedience: to which a satisfactory answer was returned by General Paez : the other enclosing a representation from the British merchants, on the inconvenience to which they were subjected by the interrup•ion of the posts within the interior, and the injury they suf. feted in consequence in C.eir trade and commercial rspeculatitrnt; to which also a favourable answer lug , given, and the evil complain sed of inrmediately removed• Bogota Papers of 14th December, mention the sr rival of Bolivar at Taaja on 29th Nov. On his reaching the Bridge of 11.yaca, the 'scene of the glorious action which decided the fate of New Granada, he was met by the principal authorities of Tunja, and was addressed by the Quez le Nado de Hacienda, in the following terms: " This field, Most Ezcellent Sir, was the holy land of our redemption, and the Aurora of your brightest glory; and as we hail the ri'ing sun, so do the inhabi tants of Boyaca hail your arrival this day with feelings of the deepest gratitude and affection Three nations of our Continent, on beholding you in the plains of Boyaca, shower down their blessings on your head, and offer up prayers for your safety: to the rest of the world you are an object of admiration. Long live our Liberator !" His trcellency answered in the most affectionate terms, and made particular mention of Gen. Azuategna. The Paris Papers, which reached us last night, are barren of news. The Etoile contains the substance of letters from Madrid of the 15th Feb. but in which there is not the slightest allusion to the disarming of the Portuguese rebels, who have fled into Galicia. The Journal du Debate, which has advice' of the same date from that capital, says that, instead of being arrested and dispersed, they have been received with the utmost kindness and cordiality, and that General Boma, Captain General of that Province, upon being apprized of their arrival, immediately issued a Proclamation, ordering all the inhabitants to treat them with the greatest hospitality. Yet this high functionary, when he gave this order, knew well that the Captain General of another province had been shortly before displaced, and brought before a Court Martial, for having pursued a line of conduct, exactly similar to his own. Therefore the proceedings against the latter must be either an insulting farce, or Captain General Ennui must treat the orders of his Sovereign with the most studied contempt. In the former case, it would be impossible to speak too harshly of the conduct of the Spanish Government, or take too strict precau tions against the effects of its duplicity. On the other hand, King Freantrratin, to appear consistent, and maintain his authority at the same time, must punish this new infraction of his orders, by dismissing EGUIA from his command, as well as General LONGA. However the mystery will be soon cleared away, when it will be time to express ourselves fearlessly on the subject; though we cannot help saying that at pretest" the affair wears a very suspicious aspect. Should the rebels renew their incursions into Portugal, there could from that moment be but one opinion as to the Spanish Government being accessary to their hostile designs. They appear to have lost all their materiel in the last incursion, and to repair their loss from private sources of sympathy, however active, is wholly out of the question. The means of re-invading their country can only come from the military depots of the Spanish Government ; and it will be therefore necessary to watch their future movements with the most lively interest, as they will furnish conclusive proofs of the , cerity or insincerity of the Spanish Monarch. It is to be presumed, in the meantime, that the policy of our own Government will be decided by the event; for it would be a manifest compromise between sound policy and a truckling expediency, should it wink at any new attempt against the tranquillity of Portugal and the existence of her new institutions. The eyes of all Europe are fixed at this time upon the British Cabinet to see whether its measures agree with the energy of its professions; and this intense curiosity is likely to re ceive additional excitement from the calamity which has deprived it of one of its most efficient members. Whilst the friends of good government will every where receive the intelligence with unaffected grief and alarm, it will probably inspire the partisans of despotism with the most audacious hopes ; and there cannot be a stronger reason for wishing, that the Ministerial Arrangements, rendered necessary by this lamentable event, should not only be completed speedily, but in the most liberal spirit. Any other ar rangement would disgust this country; add to the irritation of Ireland, and alienate our best friends abroad ! In the meantime, there is not as yet the slightest room for gloomy presentiments; but so many interests are involved in the decision, that, until it be made known, it is impossible to be wholly free from anxiety. It will be seen from our City article, that the Money Market is in a most feverish slate to-day, whilst the con jectures as to the cause art very loose and unsatisfa, tory. The rcport that the United Stales are itting out an 'armament to enforce their claims on France, is too absurd to need refutation. The tumour of a Loan is not altogether so preposterous; but the real cause, we presume, will be fouttcl partly in the recent failures, and partly in the unsettled state of the Cabinet. Dispatches from the Cape of Good Hope, and from the Leeward Islands, were received this day at the Co lonial Office, Downing.street. Mr. Secretary CANNING, we are happy to state, having returned to tow n i n p er f ect health, will this evening, in his place in the House of Commons, fully explain the views of Government in regard to the im portant question of the Corn Laws.
