COLUMBIA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAB. LETTER X. Boom, Sm. 50, 1.2!. SI R—ln effect there did exist in Columbia various *le mmata of discontent, weakness, and disunion ; the legis lature bad, during its different Sessions, sown the seeds of troubles. Many of its members had been rashly en thusiastical, or stimulated by a fever for improvement. They pretended to recompose the state of society, by dissolving all that was existing. In their impetuosity they sought to perform in one day the work of ten years. They agitated all the great questions of social order ; and without reflecting that laws are like plants, which re quire climate and situation analagous to their nature, they dictated a multitude of Reforms, unsuited to our condi tion. The Congresses, by legislating too much, caul no: •••ive due attention to their works. They frequently deiepted to the executive the faculty of making laws, or decrees having the force of laws • and the legislative power being thus undermined, it lost the respect and confidence of the people. The attributes of the legisla ture and administration being overcharged and con founded, neither one nor the other , could execute their own peculiar functions. Moreover, in the judicial as well as in the administrative system, there remained many de.. fects of Spanish origin. Considerable obstacles were opposed to the administration of justice by the Confusion which prevailed in the legislation ; by the paucity of tri bunals ; by the great distances the litigant parties had to go for redress of wrongs, or restitution of rights ; and by the want of diligence in some of the magistracy. In the military department " there was an absurd medley a dissonant contradiction between our social principles, and our military laws. Inevitable disorders were also frequent from the want of proper administration." Our system of revenue was irregular; our taxes not properly productive. There were duties which impeded agricul tural improvement : the country did not afford much con tributable matter; and we could not square oar income with our immense, and indeed, indUpensable, expendi tures. Various uds were practised, and the contra band trade was a scandal to morality, and mast prejudi cial to the public interest. The laws were all defied, or eluded ; for the parties charged with their execution met with serious obstacles from an ignorant and slothful po pulation, especially in fiscal transactions ; which from their nature require time, seal, activity, and intelligence. The people were discontented because they were taxed ; as sa crifices were required from them, without sufficient com pensation; because they were treated harshly, and were harassed by some of the agents of power. The army was disgusted, because their exertions and privations had not received due recompense, or even consideration ; and the principal departments being but slenderly united, a separation was to be apprehended. The epoch of the elections for the first magistracies of the republic, consummated the ills of war, ignorance, and poverty i—jealousies, rivalries, and ambition. were un chained ; the most reprehensible means were re sorted to for the acquisition of the vice-presidentship ; and the Press became a lash with which all the Furies assailed Columbia. " The great crisis of nations must not be ascribed to minor causes." They have always been prepared by previous transactions ; and when the explosion takes place, it is only as when a spark falls on a collection of saltpetre. The accusation of a Chief— (General PAEll)—who possessed the most distinguished titles to national esteem, was only the incident which exploded the mine already charged. The impeackeent being formed and adopted by men who were lovers of liberty—but who deceived themselves by thinking that in a conflict of passions, speculative ideas can exercise their away—we saw the Hero ready to ground to the sceptre of the law, that sword which had flashed with glory in a hundred combats. But revoking that disposition, and indignant at his treatment, days of the bitterest grief and .sorrowing were prepared for the country. The ominous movement of VALENCIA, and the ille gal acts which followed in the West, echoed through the Isthmus and the Equator ; and it was then perceptible to all how frail were the foundations that our political ar chitects had given the Government of Columbia. Pas sion and prejudice have almost always been more persua sive than reason and sound policy. Thus, at this season of melancholy retrospect, we saw the most com plete disorder, subversive of all the conservative principles of s ocial order. Obligations and oaths were no longer respected; certain municipalities usurped the national Representative Power. Sometimes an armed force deliberated against the objects of its insti tution, and sought the adoption of the fcederal system ; others required the Bolivian code ; others assumed the rights of sovereignty; others demanded a dictator. Here a Hanseatick establishment was proposed; there com plete independence was resolved on. Others determined to maintain the government as instituted. Some voices were heard for a constitutional monarchy ; to-day the same people required fcedemtion ; to-morrow a mere vigorous concentration, bordering on despotism ; there was in fact such a divergence of opinions, that there was no possibility of agreement. The Press, which has rendered such services to the cause of eternal reason.—the Press which had erected itself into a Tribunal, " before which criminals of every rank tremble," at this period prostituted its holy Minis try ; and making itself a tool to the fury of parties, was now directed by the violent defenders of existing insti tutions, then by the partisans of reforms ; and propa gating every where error and exaggerated principles-- co-mingled with some truths and fundamental MONIUIIIII of social order—it disseminated calumny, scattered through the land anarchical doctrines, and excited all the most egotistical passions. In such a state of effervescence, all restraints--all authority—were shamelessly defied; distress and fear pervaded' the Republic; credit was destroyed; and with it, all consideration abroad—our friends were dis heartened, our enemies encouraged ; commerce was paralized, useful enterprises were suspended ; coati& butions were unpaid; the revenue diminished; the anxieties of government augmented from the banal .state of affairs, and also from external eireualdlMOoll *Or rible bankruptcy menaced ; the Earth itself quaked under us, and fratricidal cannon boomed at a distance. The exterminating angel appeared already with uplifted arm to fall on Columbia, • and replunge her in that chaos beta which she had been snatched by so many of the valiant of her children. Happily the State possessed one of these veins. which can master events, and render innexistes the most terrible cheumstances—a mins, formed "to ride in the whirlwind and direct the stores." Bomeme, prisms titer primes, of our heroes and patriots, had received from the Afoot High the minks to be the appeasor of our discord. He was the only hops diet re mained to unfortunate Columbia: he WA the anchor that could save us from the shipwreck menaced us in this raging sea of coundeloa GARCIA DIL 110 1 FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

The 4et India question will, of course, be the most prmkt&, and to the discussions. arising out of it a very large portion of the time and attention of both Houses will be devoted. Parliament is not ex, posted to rise until about the middle ofJuly. It was very well to call England the classic land of liberty when England was the only country in Europe in which there was say scope for the expression of opinion; but though England has many institutions, the want of which is sensibly felt in all parts of the Continent, it is not the less true that the spirit of several parts of the Continent is now much better than in England, and under the influence of that spirit better institution. will, no doubt, in time be obtained. Under the influence of that spirit at present the wont institutions are remised harmless. In this country, Juries are too often found actuated by the most slavish spirit, and ready to yield everything to power. In France the Judges, a .cles. who in this country, with hardly an exception, have been hostile to the cave of the people, are seen vindicating the liberty of di/enemies, and defending Journalistragainst constructions of libel law which would put an • sod to all censure of men in power. The reason is that in lirtrusell there is no Aristocracy, while in England the Aristocracy is everything. Judges in France identify themsilees with the nation. But, as is observed by the Journal des .Dtbets of Thursday last, this conduct, " so' honour able to the character of the First President of the Cour Royale, is only an additional reason in favour of a Jury. Men pass away ; institutions alone remain," But if a Jury wadd, ern with the Fleece, be an advantage, we fear that • time in England before it would be rather on a Judge than on a Jury.

We have now, thank Goo., a. Sovereign and a cause, and we shall be rejoiced if we may soon be enabled to distinguish ourselves in its support, and emulate the bravery of our comrades at Terceira—nor do we suppose that an opportunity will long be wanting, as three noble Brazilian frigates are to be sold, and made over to the service of her Faithful MAJESTY, and are ordered to be fitted out with all pos sible dispatch, in which all the Portuguese troops here will be embarked, to return to Europe, but with arms in our hands, and not like degraded fugitives as we left it—expelled from England, the country of our Sovereign's ancient Ally, where we had sought a refuge from the infamy of obeying the usurper of her throne, and where we had hoped to find 1 . . an asylum until we , could have received our legitimate Sovereign's authority for drawing our swords in her ser vice, and which the ill-judged and pernicious embassy of Lord ST RANG Fon D to the Brazils alone protracted. Yet were we, by WELLINGTON'S orders, driven from the Britivh shores.; and, what is worse, far worse still, were we prevented, by the cruel shots of Captain WA LPOLI at Terceira, from landing on the only spot where honour and legitimacy to our youthful and injured Qiizaw yet held their away. And as if to trample down and reduce to the utmost state of humility and degrad ation the proud feelings of a nation, were we compe de le r tr i to seek hospitality and protection from the yet unappeseet jealousies and hatred of the Brazilians, who were so lately emancipated from the Mother Coun try by a treaty conducted under the mediation of that very Power that now so ungenerously forced us to beg their bounty and protection. " Our QUNEN, however, has now her separate Court, and consecrates the cause for which we have made so many and such honourable sacrifices; and we feel that we are no longer receiving alms from the Brazilian Government, but the pay of dutiful soldiers, with the pride and conscious satisfaction of having acted like honourable men and faith ful subjects. A short time ago an offer was made by the Est PEROIL for us to join the Brazilian army, and gain the additional pay which that army receives; but all, to their great credit, refused to ameliorate their condition at the expense of their character, except our Colonel, who is a German, and the Portuguese army has losenothing by his having quitted it. " You express to me your great regrets that our Qu Kew left Europe; but rest assured, that her arrival in this country has been, and will continue to be, of the greatest benefit to our cause—as-the Brazilians can never be so barefaced as to reproach the Emperor, for establish ing for his daughter in the separate Dominion of Portugal, by which alone their own independence is secured, and the return of the Queen has proved to all of them the necessity for the interference of the Emperor ; while the presence of the young Queen, and the efforts of Brazil, by which her Throne is to be restored, is flattering to their vanity. " It is believed here that our first effort will be made against Madeira, as it is a better port, and affords more resources for our ships, and where we hope to get hold of some of Don Miguel's squadron ; after which, one of our vessels will proceed to blockade the Tagus, while the rest of the ships will occupy St. Michael's and the other islands of the Azores." BRAZILIAN LOAN. From Me Morning Chronicle. It now seems quite certain, that a new Loan was Con tracted for by the Marquess Barbacena, before he left England in August last. The Times pledges itself for the authenticity of the statement, and we might do the same, were it necessary and unknown to many gentlemen in the City of the highest respectability, as well as our selves. We therefore deal with it as a fact, and the question to consider is, will it be ratified by the Emperor ; and if it is, when may it be expected to arrive here ? We believe, indee4 we know, from the most authentic channels, that it is expected to arrive every day by the Maria de Gloria corvette. We also know that the Queen of Portugal is established in Rio with all her suite, and that she has held separate Courts, and received all the Brazilian functionaries, and the Corps Diplomatique.— We therefore say that this looks very much like Brazi lian support to the Queen's cause; and when we couple with this fact the Loan made by the Marquis Barba-. cena, we think a fair inference may be drawn that this cause is to be supported by this loan. We do not pre lims to state what are the feelings of the Portuguese people with regard to the Queen ; but we have beard that a little money, with the Queen's standard hoisted in Portugal, „would shake Miguel's army, which is un • , while Donna Maria's army has been, and is re vici l d y paid, and in the best condition, under the Count illa Flor, in Terceira, five thousand strong : we say is paid, from our own knowledge, up to this period. We have heard in the City the loan doubted, because the Brazilian Charge d'Affaires (there being no Minister here from Brazil of a higher rank) knows nothing of the contract. We suspect he did not, as it was in tended to be kept secret, and he been tolerably well kept for above five months. We understand a great capitalist in the City did not know it until a day or two ago. Se crets pf this kind have not usually been as well kept. We do not profess to know the reasons for this great se crecy, but we presume there must have been some good 'ones, or it would have been divulged long ago. From private letters, on which we can place reliance, we learn that an activity in the Brazilian navy has been manifested, and that three ships of war were actually or dered to sail under the orders of the Queen's Regent, and that the corvette was to sail in a few days with despatches for England. We also learn that the Marquis Barba sans had received the first Grand Cross of the new Order, and that be was considered the meet influential person in the Government, having the full confidence of the Emperor. Indeed, it is but natural it should be so, limn ble baying bad the important charge of taking the Emma' and Queen to Rio from Europe. We think QUARANTINE LAWS. Comelp.hotase. Cork, Dec. 2t.

I am directed to acquaint you; for the information of the Lords of the Treasury. that the Lords of the Council are of vision, that It may be proper to adopt the plan recommended by the Commis. goners of the Customs. provided this cut be effected without bring ing any additional charge on the Revenue. The rule to Rogiaod is to charge an additional fee of one guinea on each vessel subject to quarantine in order to raise a fund for defraying the allow. maces paid to the Medical Seperintendeots who are employed t , , visit and examine the veer and passengers . The fee was Imposed with the previous approbation and consent of the merchants and ship owners In England, and the Lords of the Council are of opinion that it will be proper, as. a preh minary measure, that the Commissioners of Customs should be di • rented to ascertain whether the merchants and ship owners to Ireland will consent to the payment of an additional fee of two seines on each vessel subject to quarantine in that kingdom, in re turn !or the accommodation which will be afforded by the relea-e of their vessels, by medical certificates, without being exposed t . the espence and delay oecessatily occasioned by refetence authorities of Dublin • their Lordships are of opinion that rho. point may be ascertaine d by a communication on the part of the Board of Customs with the Chambers of Commerce cat Cork and Belfast. It is propued to make the additional fee two guineas kt.tead of one, on account of the great distance of the quarantine anchorage from the several towns in Leland, and of the small number of vessels subject to quarantine, which have annually strived iu that kingdom—but even with 1. increase the whole of the official fees charged in Ireland on the release of a vessel ham quarantine will he only i 4 IS.. 6d. including the Order in Council ; the total in England amounts to ALS Ilts.

ADMIRAL SIR GEORGE MONTAGUE, G.C.B.—This distinguished and meritorious officer departed this life on Thursday the 24th ult. at his residence near Pewset, at a very advanced age, truly beloved and esteemed. lla was made Captain in 1773, Rear Admiral in 1794, Vine Admiral in 1795, and Admiral in 1801, and at the time of his death was senior Admiral of the Red, except one, on the list of the Royal Navy. Sir George commenced his naval career at a very early period of life, and passed with rapidity through the minor gradations. Wheu Captain of the Pearl of 34 guns, in the American and Spanish war, he captured the Santa Armonice, illpudelt frigate of 44 guns, after a most gallant unitialk, in which courage was united with the meet Millomamate skill and exertion.
