COLOMBIA. I atoll of a Letter from Bogota, dated the 28th no March, 1830. r),, great fatigues and suffering, both of body and mind, which the leAieratur has lately undergone, have impaired his health, and obliged him to relinquish, for a short time, the direction of public affairs, and to retire to a country scat in the neighbourhood of Bo gota. The executive power has been entrusted into the hands of general Caycedo, the President of the Council, and a man of talent and orgy good reputation. By all the letters received here from Venezuela, we see with pleasure that the revolution is taking a favourable aspect. A meg 11,11C so injurious to that part of the Republic could not fail to meet the disapprobation of the people after the charm of novelty was past, and the bad consequences of it began to appear. The chief pro. muter. of it were aware of this. or else they would not have hur ried so much an affair of so great importance as the formal seperation of Venezuela from the rest of Colombia. Their plan has been to stun the people, to give them no time for reflection, and to conduct them through the path of novelty, in order that they might not perceive the precipice they were leading them to. But, fortunately, their scheme has been discovered, and we may see lirtote long the union established upon solid bases. Amidst the ani inusity and hatred against the Liberator, with which the newspapers of Venezuela abound (the whole of them are written by three or four of the greatest personal enemies of the Liberator), we can see that they fear him greatly, convinced as they are that the eminent services which this extraordinary man has rendered his country can never be forgotten by his countrymen, and that he still pos sesses a very considerable influence all over Venezuela. When Grit. Paez received the Liberator's lett:r requesting a meeting, the revolutionists raised a cry of alarm, and trembled at the thought of his Excellency's even approaching the frontiers. Besides, much envision seems to esint among the members of the sod disuse Go vernment; two of the Secretaries have resigned, and in general they distrust Pays, and distrust one another. The contribution which they have forced from the people has only produced 12,000 dollar., and that after having used every kind of compulsion ; the treasury is exhausted, the various branches branches of the revenue produce nothing, and yet they have to pay an immense army, and the e xpences of the administration. A crisis must, therefore, soon de. ride the fate of that unhappy people. They must either die of con. sumption, or seek their health In the bonds of the union. The departments of the South have expressed to the Government their disapprobation of the events of Venezuela, and renewed in 2ry flattering terms their attachment towards the Liberator. The Congress continue occupying themselves in forming the new ennatitution, the basis of which, as you will have seen, cannot be mere liberal. HOUSE OF LORDS—Tun DAY. ORDERS OF THE DAY.

THE KING. NI)i) It CASTLE, Jvws 3, 1830. " The KING was less embarrassed in his respiration yesterday; and bis M AJESTY has passed a tranquil night. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " MATTI] EW J. TIERNEY." This afternoon, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council met at the Foreign Office, and was numerously attended. Every day adds to the interest attached to the progress of the Algiers expedition. According to accounts from Paris, it would seem that the weather has been as un settled and boisterous in France, as it continues to be in this country. Should it have extended to the Mediter ranean, we may be prepared to hear sad accounts of the fleet. In some former observations as to the probable result of the armament, we said that its success mainly depended on the elements. Even supposing that mo derate weather should prevail when the fleet reaches its destination, there will be no small difficulty in effecting a landing. Such is the abrupt nature of the coast, and great depth of water, that it will be scarcely possible for so large a number of vessels to find an anchorage. But should they succeed in this, there is not a single bay or inlet, within many leagues of the city, which affords the smallest shelter with a northerly wind. Yet this is known to blow with great violence for a considerable portion of the year. The necessity of rendevousing at Port Mahon and Majorca must create great delay, so that if the DEY is determined on a spirited resistance, he will yet have some time to complete his preparations. There can be little doubt that the whole country round the ca pital will be laid waste, and the cattle driven into the inte rior. The invading force will thus be constrained to receive all their supplies of fresh provisions from the ports of France and Spain. Unless steam-vessels are employed for this purpose, it will be utterly impossible to maintain such a line of communication as would become indispensable. With regard to the inconveniences of climate, they are likely to be of a very formidable nature.— The coast of Barbary is proverbial for excessive heat during the whole summer, and when it is considered that by far the largest portion of the army has never been in the field before, we shall be greatly surprised if it escapes the usual vicissitudes attendant on similar enterprises. Various conjectures are entertained as to what the conduct of the French Cabinet will be, in the event of the expedition being successful. It is believed by some, that a mere compensation for past insults is all that the commanders are instructed to require, while others assert, that colonization is the grand object in view. We confess ourselves strongly inclined to the latter opinion. Nor have the rumours relative to an ulterior destination higher up:the Mediterranean subsided.lt still continues to be matter of astonishment that so large a force, both naval and mili tary, should be employed for a comparatively trifling ob ject. There is certainly a considerable degree of mystery attached to all that is passing. We trust a short time will clear it up. Meanwhile, it is hoped Ministers are alive to the important consequences, to British power and interests, which may, at no distant period, arise out of what is now going on between the Pillars of Hercules and Constantinople. "The Courrier de Bayouße of the 26th contains a pri vate letter from Lisbon, stating, that the Spanish Am bassador has decidedly ceased his functions, and retired for the present from that capital. His Excellency was expected to leave altogether, in consequence of orders from his Court.% Should the above report be true, we shall begin to ' indulge a hope that the Cabinet of FERDINAND has at length recognised the necessity of breaking off its con nection with the Usurper. There are certainly some signs of amelioration in Spanish politics; and should the rumour of an early convocation of the Cortes be con firmed, we do not despair of shortly witnessing a better order of things in the Peninsula. The New York Papers, which have been received to the 9th ult. contain a copy of a Bill introduced into the House of Representatives of the United States, to enable the Government to establish a reciprocity system of com merce with friendly nations. It proposes to allow the importation of the manufactures and the produce of other nations, on payment of a duty of 30 per cent. the fact having been previously ascertained by the PRESIDZINT, that the countries to which this privilege shall extend, im pose no bisler duties than 30 per cent. on the importation of the produce and manufactures of the United States into them and all their possessions, either party being left at liberty to levy internal taxes or excises, to impose restrictions, or to make regulations of any kind which shall apply equally, and without discrimination, to the produce and manufactures of both countries and their possessions. Here at length is a triumph for Mr. H us x mote. The objection to that Right Honourable Gen system of free trade as adopted by England, was its total want of reciprocity, ()Orr nations having continued to iflu:e i•i t:i.,-( , principles of prohibition and restrictions whicl. ;lad been repudiated in the commercial code of this country. Of the nations which persisted in what was here considered a narrow and illiberal policy, the United States held n prominent place. Its tariff, of which the present bill would be a partial repeal, carried this policy to an extreme length, that threatened a serious misunderstanding between the two countries. The United States were informed, by speeches in the British Senate, that if they did not relax their restrictive system, the English minister would per haps feel himself compelled to retaliate ; that if our Man chester goods were to be excluded from the American market, England would contrive to do without American cotton, and import the necessary supply of that article from the East Indies. How far this threat has operated to produce this favourable change iu the policy of the United States, or how far their perseverance in the old system has been found, by experience, adverse to their real interests, we have as yet no means of judging. It is to be observed, however, that public opinion in America has been from the beginning divided upon the subject of the Tariff; that it was founded upon a collision of in ' ternal interests, in which the agricultural, com mercial, and manufacturing interests were opposed to each other, and that the eastern and the western States were by it placed in a state of discord and contention. It was, therefore, with great difficulty, and after a long struggle, the Tariff was passed by the Legislature of the United States, and those who were interested in its continuance grounded their hopes principally upon the prejudice which they flattered themselves was entertained by the President Jacxsox against England. We fear that the conciliatory dispo sition evinced in this Bill will encourage the Mi nister to persevere in his plan for suppressing the growth of tobacco in Ireland, which if duly encou raged there, would afford the means of internal improve and supersede the necessity of importation from the United States.—lt may be recollected that Russia also has re cently evinced a disposition to relax its prohibitory com mercial code, from which there is ground of hope that old prejudices are giving way in every direction. A Morning Contemporary, whose impartiality we havo often acknowledged, in a brief comment upon the proposed increase of duty upon the Irish Press, says neither this nor any other Irish subject can excite surprise, when tho exceedingly inefficient and derelict state of the Irish respresentation is considered, adding— " There are not above three or four men of the least consideration for intellect, or attention to business, among the hundred Mernbeia who are appointed to watch over the interests of that country ; and those who are active are, for the most part, only distinguished for their sy cophancy and place-hunting accomplishments." We cannot agree with our contemporary in this sweeping condemnation of Irish representation. No country ever possessed a more honest, faithful, and diligent guardian of her interests than Ireland has found in Sir Jolts NEWPORT. In the list of others not wanting in talent, diligence, and attention to the welfare of their country, may be found Mr. SPRING RICE, Mr. O'CoNN ELL, Mr. ALEXANDER DAwsoN, Mr. BROWNLOW, the GRATTAN'S, and many others. Mr. DOGIIERTY is in office, and Mr. NORTH may be looking to office; but neither of them are deficient in talent and diligence, and it would be rather illiberal to presume that a placentan, whether in possession or expectancy, must be necessarily indifferent to the welfare of his country. Many other names might be mentioned which reflect no discredit upon the Irish represen tation, and which might have saved it from this very heavy imputation.—ln fact, in the want of oratorical exertion' on the part of either English or Irish members in the House of Commons there is no just cause of com plaint. Perhaps it would be better if there were less legislation and less speaking. The duty of the representa tive is best discharged by constant attendance, and giv ing a sound and honest vote upon every question, and that duty, we believe, is as conscientiously performed by the Irish as by any other Members of the House. THE SEA-SERPEN T.—lt appears that this novel visitor in the waters of the south, has recently appeared in the neighbourhood of St. Augustine. Capt. Hanford, who arrived at that port on the 4th inst. in two days from Charleston, when lying to, off St. Augustine bar, obtained a full view of the monster, and affirms to the following description of him, under kis own sig nature :—" When we first saw him," says Captain Hanford, "he was at the distance of 150 yards, with his head continually out of the water ; his jaws were extended sufficient to receive a rice tierce of the largest size ; he steered for the vessel with rapidity, showing many fins, resembling the sword of a sword-fish, from four to six feet in length. We could plainly discern four rows of teeth on each jaw ; his length from 20 to 25 feet. He then stood off to the north, making a leap forward to catch a porpoise, clearing himself from the water five or six feet, which gave us a fair opportunity to view his elegant form. His head appeared to be as large as a sugar hogshead, resembling that of an alligator, with his upper jawbone back. He had fins or paddles on each side near the neck, resembling the flappers of a seal, apparently the size of a common door. We saw him afterwards standing in fur the bar, with his head and tail out of water ; the tip of his tail appeared very sharp, resembling a harpoon. Should any persons in an open boat fall in with this hungry-looking fellow, I should advise them to leave his company as soon as pos sible, for he has the power of leaping into and de stroying any open boat that may fall in his way."— Savannah Georgian, April 23.

The peace-officers are in active pursuit of him:—Cori Southern Reporter. A German paper contains the following :—" That Gaspard Hauser (the dumb boy found some time sine: at the gate of Nuremberg) is of Hungarian origin. seems daily more and more probable. It appears that he was born at Vienna. The following is a statement received from Nuremberg, where this unfortunate young man is now residing :—the chief magistrate of the town hav ing offered, through the public journals, a handsome reward to any one who could give positive information as to his birth and parentage, the rector of Pesth, in Hungary, wrote to the civil tribunal of Nuremberg, that during a journey he made into Germany in the years 1811 and 1812, he became acquainted with a rector named Winter, whom he overheard say, ' They may get rid of the child without murdering it.' On interro gating Winter, he declared that he was not in possession of any minute particulars relating to the child in question, but that a woman named Valbon could afford much infor mation. This woman was found out in a very- singular man ner. It was known that she had gone away into Hungary where she was sought for by the Austrian police, an agent of which one day made inquiry of a Hungarian Countess. at Pesth, if she had not in her house a woman name.! Valbon; but the Countess replied, that she knew no such person. Happening to mention this circumstance at table, in the presence of her steward, and the governess of her children, the latter fainted away, and when she recovered from the fit, appeared to have lost her senses ; and it has not yet been discovered whether this aberra ftiroonm w v as au rea bon l or tor f u ei o g n n v e al d i . , u S n h d e er h t‘ ad .bi c r h b an a g p ed pe u h a e u r on na a n b i e e had lived a long time in the family of the Countess. The affair made great noise at Peath, many persons attributing the accusation of the rector to private malice. Some time ago, a young Hungarian went to see Gaspard Hauser, and happening to pronounce some words in that language, they had a most powerful effect upon him, and put him into a s tate of excitement. He said that they recalled the days of his infancy, and' he even translated some Hungarian words into Germaa. He described the place at which he passed a part of his childhood, and his description corresponded with that of a room of a Hungarian peasant's dwelling. These sin gular discoveries have afforded grounds for further re searches, and every exertion is making to trace out the i birth of Hauser, who, there are some re asons for raa gining, belongs to a princely family." ;••• %VP! f;•* ' „gif tr 0 ,, ,, .04 e&- , rreat
