COLUMBIA. TO THE EDITOR OP THE STAR. LETTER Ames, Sm. 14, 1029. Si s e —The insurrection of 1809 was a new era for the Graindians and Venezuelans. The regency of Cadiz Hg admitted - the wrongs which had been at all dines imposed olive by the Spanish Government, acknowledged that our destinies depended no longer on Ministers and Goonnors, since they were now in our own hands, juntas o f government were installed like those of Spain, and with the same rights. Bat what they considered as vir tue and patriotism at home, was regarded as disloyal and -criminal in the colonies. Unjust towards South America, the regenerators of Ibeira were still anxious to perpetuate our political inequality ; de. preciating our well-founded claims, anathemas were fulminated against those who, merely called for the exe cution of the social compact, a war of extermination was decreed against us, and in the midst of her own calamities, barbarous assassins were sent to spread death and desolafion over the land. We flew to arms to sustain our rights, and the fate of battles was now to decide between triumph or defeat, between glory or de gradation. Long habits of obedience had, there is no doubt, in duced several towns and provinces still to tolerate our .oppressors : hum a civil war, rendered more obstinate from the ignorance of the people, and their having become the instruments of fanaticism, whose agents qualified se im- . pious and profane, the noble effort in favour of libeeti and justice. The first steps of the new Governments in the march of independence, were often both erroneous and vacillating. Public situations were filled by men of generous minds, and to a certain degree, not destitute of information and a talent for business, but who had never exercised any political right, nor wore practically acquainted with the science of governing. They viewed fine drawn theories as the perfection of social wisdom; the effects of the newly adopted systems were never duly appreciated ; the conse quences of opinions hitherto unknown never estimated. Many gross errors were the result, and it must be con fessed we are paying dearly for them ! The premature conception of adopting the form of Go vernment which was definitively to prevail, and of cement ing liberty before ,we had conquered independence, was for us the golden apple thrown by discord. Many were fascinated by the brilliant example of the United States; while others, stimulated by ambition, proposed with few exceptions the establishment of a federal sys tem. Our leaders do not seem for a moment to have • selected on the enormous difference between our situ*- , iisa and that of the Anglo-Americans, between their de ci► K dvilisation and ours, or the manners and neces sities of both. The Legislators of the United States had accommodated her institutions to the state of things which existed at the time of their adoption. " The elements of a Confederation existed in North America long before the war of independence, while the various localities, which subsequently constituted the union were in posses sion of distinct laws and governments. Tie English Colo nists enjoyed at least some municipal privileges ; some of the Provinces had their Chamber of Representatives; they might regulate among themselves, and almost without restriction, a great number of important points. Those Colonists bad, besides, been in the habit of federating, during the wars of the Mother Country, against France sad Spain- , --they might indeed be said to have already - 11 toned a nation.' On our side, we did not possess one • , t ed them advantages—we had all been governed by the - :.ale laws : our scanty population was scattered -shone easing vast deserts t divided in heterogeneous classes, dif ficult to manage, separated in their interests, vitiated by superstition, degraded by tyranny, impoverished by op pression, buried in ignorance. Born and living under the laws of Spain, quitting in a manner the most sud den a despotism the most absolute, we neither possessed die knowledge or practice of public affairs : no spirit of • liberty existed: we were totally unacquainted with every social safeguard, and could not, in fact, boast of a single dement required to form a federal system. So that however admirable this system may be regarded by its most ardent advocates, it is undeniable that the situation of New Granada and Venezuela, rendered its adoption al together inapplicabli to the wants and inclinations of the great mass of their inhabitants, and to the circumstances in which they were placed. We were certainly far from susceptible of a social organisation, which even in the United States has frequently encountered difficulties in distinguishing the limits which separate the attributes of the general government, from those of the particular states. Civilisation was too backward among us, to find men capable of filling the multitude of situations • required by the federal system. Nor were oar 'revenues, if even much better managed than they were, sufficient to pay such a large magistracy, or meet all the necessities of the State. Finally, it was not among the least of these evils brought on us by the federal plan, that it increased local, to the extinction of general patriotism. If the light of independence called all the nobler pas sions into play, those of selfishness and ambition were -deo fermented. Above all, ambition, which is a dis tiactive trait in our character, inspiring in some the desire of obtaining distinction in the place of their birth, stimulated them to give importance to many points which never deserved it. Thus we saw several towns and cities separate• themselves from the association to which they had previously belonged; we saw them claim the right of :sovereignty in all its plenitude, even to arrogating an undue supremacy over neighbouring districts. There were some provinces which declared in favour of a central Government, and in the altercations caused br this political schism, hostile acts were committed on either tide I thus weakening the means of resistance, and em ploying for mutual destruction those resources which ought to have been directed against the common enemy. But under one or other form of Government, the most democratic notions were encouraged, whether in the pro vinces in which the federal system was adopted, or where a central authority was preferred.. Whether it arises from the natural tendency of mankind to pus from one extreme to another, or that the champions of independ ence knew, that in the absence of a more general instruc tion among the people, the language of passion was ne emery to move so inert a mass, certain it is, that both the Government, as well as those who entered the arena as public writers, and others who addressed the people on public assemblies, affected the most furious repub lieudeta. The principle of equality was proclaimed as • !;Hirst of political dogmas—the sublimest of moral and efikrtruths. Instead of observing that palpab le law attre l which has rendered man miasmal by a ilea& buttes of her favours with a more or less liberal hand , each; instead of that equality which permits every body to insane the stadia, to which his merit may entitle Wish end which alone can exist ins well regulated con ..sanity, a definition in the latitude given to this ides as asonstrons as it was absurd. Together with this, • - die name of liberty was invoked at _linty step 211which is so sweet, but of which the use is se .Iq lAmentalsly abusing both, every diaorgsakingt element was let loose, and a storm of the most turbulent democracy sassed. It is true, men were not wanting to point out the sad errors in which we persisted, or who did not foresee the future these errors were preparing for us. A,patriot was not wanted to tell the people. Beaestb die Seeren The Aerie sad his aortal mesa hs amwreled : Yea used ea a veksae—ao abyss Is before yea! tint his voice was lust In the tumult of popular delirium, while our rising Statesmen continued to purses the reel they had chosen, assuming, as the basis of our regenera tion, abstract theories and extraneous examples. Flying from the deepen= we had just thrown off, the favourite wish of those who were called on to legislate for us, was to restrain by every possible means the power of the executive. They did not calculate that in a com munity like ours, composed of discordant elements, where the inequality of conditions was so great, and the mass indifferent to every thing but repose ; where so much po litical inaptness prevailed, it would have been better to add more vigour to authority, even at the expense of some rights, in order to ensure independence, and be able on a future day, to enjoy without peril the beneficent fruits of freedom. Far from this being the case, the executive power was subdivided in some provinces, in others it was invaded by the legislative branch : the ne cessary consequences of such a system, was disunion, inactivity, and agitation—a suspension of the molt im portant interests of the State. While every body was occupied in discussing rights and p rinciples , the governments thought but little about 'organising an armed force capable of freeing the terri tory in which new political systems were about to be planted. If troops were enlisted at some points, there was an absence of all discipline ; if at others a militia was raised, all they did was to receive and consume large pay and allowances : without serving to promote inde pendence, the country was deprived of those services which they had been formerly in the habit of rendering. The regulation of a good financial system was equally neglected, forgetting that "social life is only sustained by gold running in its veins," our rulers attempted to meet the necessities of the state with patriotic donations and forced loans, " means which were purely revolution ary, that paliated the evil without curing it, and always created discontent." The circulating medium disap peared, owing to the opposition of the capitali sts, nearl y all the Spaniards, to the new order of things. The crea tion of a paper money, without foundation or guarantee, gave the last blow to all credit, and fomented a marked aversion to the cause of independence. The community thus divided into two classes, one of which, actuated either by fear or perfidy, fled before the dawn of liberty, while the other advanced with thoughtless precipitancy towards the light, the government adopted a system of lenity and weakness, which brought with. acme of so many evils. • Conspiracies were hatched by the partisans of Spain, with a view of restoring the domination of that country. On these occasions an imprudent cle mency was shown, the authors were ei'ffered to escape with impunity, and if punished it was inflicted with an unme rited suavity. The factious agitated the lower orders, merely with a view of seizing all the power or to gratify private interests, while the authorities neither displayed say energy in checking the attempts of ambition, nor did the citizens rally round them for the preservation of pub lic tranquillity and order.

CHRISTMAS PANTOMIMES. _ As well might the father of a young family attempt to satisfy the expectations of that family by the substi tution of .a haunch of venison and apple-tart. for the fare of roast-beef and plum pudding on a y, as that the Manager of a Theatre should present to the holiday folks an Opera or a Farce on the day succeeding the 25th of December. instead of the long and anxiously looked for Pantomime—that spec tacle, on the anticipation of seeing which the minds of a large portion of his Majesty's liege subjects had fed for many months preceding. The displays of activity by the leading personages of that species of entertain ment have become so familiar to an English audience, that we verily believe, were they to be disappointed, the consequences would, in many instances, be such, as totally to destroy all the happiness usually produced at this festive season, certainly of our young friends, and drive many of their elders to a more than customary con sumption of that spirit, for which we are so much in debted to Messrs. HODGES, RICKARDS, SLAG AD, and Co. &c. The momentous question, therefore, arises as to whether the cause of morality is not better con sulted by the creation of *flow of spirits in John Bull, by such exhibitions as Pantoiiimes, than by a too copious' draught upon the spirits of the individuals above men tioned.. There cannot be the slightest doubt upon this point, neither are we troubled with any duberousness as to the fact, that the abolition of the Christmas Panto mimes would induce an immense number of the middle and ;giver classes to expend their savings in the p urchase et Distil-Moil effusions. We therefore, with much satisfaction, proceed to detail the particulars of the Pan tomimes of the Christmas of 1829. And first, we begin with " his Majesty's sdrvanta" of DRURY-LANE. At this house the inventive genius of Mr. A. BARR Y moan produced, after the representation of Jane Shore, which, as us usual on these occasions, was looked at, not listened to, by a very crowded and noisy audience, a Pantomime, entitled Jack in the Box; or, Harkquin and the Princes! of the Hidden Island. The over ture, and music generally, is slid to have come from the pen of Mr. T. Coo K, but we have been given to under stand that his son has contributed no small portion of it. It is every way characteristic ; and was received with much applause. The next point to be noticed is the scenery, which, as has ever been the case since the acces sion of Stanfield to this establishment, was splendid lathe extreme. The most conspicuous are the opening scenes, No. 4,5, 6, 14, and his Grand Local Diorama, the effect of which was greatly increased by a discharge of about 70 tons of real water. The whole has been got up at very considerable expense, and reflects high credit upon the lessee, and persons employed in its production. The story of Jack in the Box must be so well remem bered by our readers, from the strong impression made on their minds by its relation in the nursery, that we consider it would be a work of supererogation to give it here. We shall therefore satisfy ourselves, and trust our readers also, by saying that the incidents of that cele brated narrative have been dramatised, if we may use the term, with considerable tact. The tricks are extremely well arranged, and the machinery, allowing for the trilling delays which almost unavoidably attend a first night's re presentation. went off extremely well. On the whole, the pantomime was well received, the audience departed in great glee, and we trust the treasury will benefit by the dish which has been cooked up to tempt the public, and to relieve the holiday folks of their loose cash. COVENT-GARDEN. This house has, from time immemorial, been cele brated for its successful efforts in the pantomimic de pertinent, and on this occasion that King of Spectacle, FARLEY, has catered with as much judgment as ever. After the performance of The Royal Fugitive, to which a more than holiday-like attention was paid, the new pantomime of Harlequin and Cock Robin, or Vulcan and Venus, was commenced. It is founded on the well known nursery story of Whv killed Cock Robin? and the mere title of this entertainment was in itself suf ficient to fill the house; for who can reflect on the time ' when to be able to give the relation of the death of Cock Robin was the height of his or her ambition, without con awing those were bouts which yielded more real satis faction, when free from the cares and turmoils of a busy world, than any which they have subsequently enjoyed. The introductory part of the pantomime at this house is founded on the heathen mythology of the differences of Vulcan and Venus, who, as ancient writings in form us, were for ever at variance ; who or what ever Vulcan befriended, his wife opposed ; and Venus, per contra, was invariably thwarted in her wishes by her lord and master ; and, as the ancient writers of fables assert, carried their spleen so far to wards each other, that they condescended to espouse the cause of even rustic mortals ; so that Venus, for the kindness shewn to her favourite bird, the dove, by a village youth named Cuddle, the goddess vouchsafed him her protection against the machinations of a wealthy rival in his affection for the maid , w hose heart Cupid's dart had caused to bunt with equal passion. Vulcan, SS cross his wife, befriended Hobnail, the apprentice o r Clout the blacksmith, whom he transforms into the like ness of a sparrow, so to effect the destruction of the lover's favourite bird, she robin. Thus, by theunited aids of the opposing deities, the programme of the pan tomime at this house this year is founded on the nursery tale of " Who killed Cock Robin ?' Here the business of the pantomime begins, and the lovers are followed through a series of difficulties, until the superior power of Venus enables her to effect an union between the lovers. Amongst the tricks worthy of particular notice that in the ninth scene, where the Clown, who has been guilty' of a theft, lays himself down on the top of one of the old-fashioned ru.eting-places for ticket porters' loads, in order the better to make another grab, when he is blown up, and on the dispersion of the smoke be is seen affixed by the hands and feet to the outside of a house, is the most effective. The funeral procession of Cock Robin elicited great laughter, as did the expert manner in which the bull tolled the bell. A row in Covent-garden Market with the Charlie:, who in stantaneously are transmogrified into the new police, die met with its reward. But that which excited the mestrisibility was the fifteenth ecene, where the beholder 'sees tie Thames, with several steam-boats and ves sels admit. An elephant is then introduced, who after baying drank a large potion of rum-punch, ex a desire to lave his mouth. His attendant' L ll . l.B lead him to the Thames, when in a very short time yea will perceive that the decrease in the quantity of water is such as to sink the ships, and in the course of a Minute or two the bed of 'the river presents itself to the view; with all its fi nny occupants jumping about se *Gult out of their element. The picture gallery, and the exhibition of the Fire-eater, were well done. It is scarcely necessary to add, that the house was a per, and that the audience separated in perfect good humour.
