COLOMBIA. THE EPIDEMIC IN HOLLAND. same eact was received from the Piedmontese Con sul at Almeria. Now here was a new subject for puzzling the brains of the members of this Govern ment—the idea that Lord Cochrance should go and de liberately place himself in the hands of the Spaniards, was certainly an absurdity tno gteat for any private individual to be guilty of crediting; but it seems that there is really no limit to the credulity of authorities under the influence of terror. The report was credited, and individuals the least resembling Lord Cochrane in age and appearance, were gravely, pronounced to be htm in disguise. At intervals, when surprise at mankind being ruled by such authorities as these, yields to the stronger feeling of contempt for the individuals ruling, a consolation presents itself in the certitude of the mi. sery they infl ct on themselves being mentally greater than they impose on those they rule. Here, for instance, they live in a stele of terror of revolution, the agonies of which one could pity, were they not the authors of their own sufferings. The following is an extract of a letter, dated city of Caraccas, July 29 : " It was my intention to have communicated to you by the last packet, some particulars of the late occur rences in this and the neighbouring cities ; but we were so straitened for time, that I tould not possibly accom plish it.

Luxerluus habits will effeminise t►e body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently comproutise the na tural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonited sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief.

" Letters have been due from Bogota for many days, and we anxiously look for their arrival. We are in formal that Ere: has received some common:cation from Santander, advising him to retrace his steps, which he must know to be unconstitutional, and to give up the command to General Ma:mo, until General Bermudez shell arrive to take it. He offers there, to m a General Net, with a view to talk over the affairs of Venezuela, in order to come to some future salutary arrangements, proposing for the interview Varinas, Mend!, or any other place that Pees may name. The Vice-President also reminds him, that the army of Peru is now at liberty—that General Bolivar is expected in Colombia very shortly—that the President has always been opposed to the form of Government the Venezues. Lots 'wish to establish—viz. Federation. 4 1 , General Pack has replied, that he cannot and will not ieplace things as they were, stating that his honour compelled him to support and protect, in their vitws, the people - who had created him their civil and military chief. He further remarks, that the Peruvian troops, If they forget themselves in Venezuela. would meet with very different soldiers to the Spaniards in Peru. These and other inconciliatory remarks were made by Paez to Santander. • " The letter of Santander was dispatched upon the receipt of the first news of the affair; since then he must have received communications less palatable. and we feel anxious what will be the conduct of the Vice- President on their arrival at Bogota. "Two posts are due from the seat of Government, but we know them to be detained by Pam in Valencia, where letters are opened for his information, and pro bably some are intercepted. It is impossible to know the sentiments of the people as to the issue: two persons of equal credit will give opposite opinions. Some say Paez will, if possible, retreat; others, that his character is different, and and that he will certainly proceed in the business. Some declare, that all the acts of the Monicipalities have been wrested from them, and that they contain not the sentiments of the members, but of the Valencia faction, which consists of about four unprincipled and disaffected dangerous men, who have neither reputation nor property to lose: this is my opinion. PACE is an honourable man in many respects, and I fear he is now the tool of this party. Reports have reached us of the arrival of Bolivar in Bogota ; they are not authentic; I have conversed with three of his relations on the subject, and they say it is untrue. " Commerce continues very bad : no payments ; pro visions very dear, stc. Things cannot remain lung in their present state. They have been endeavouring to procure money from merchants, kc. Hitherto their plans have been unsuccessful. It is probable we shall have more news before ;he August packet arrives; till then I will leave my letter." It/TRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER, DATED AUGUST S. " The packet arrived last night, and will leave La Guayra to-morrow morning. Since the date of this letter, letters and papers have been received from Bo gota, although we have heard of no official communi cations. The Constitutionnel speaks out, and declares Pats a traitor, kc. analyses all the proceedings, and de clares that Government can only adopt a step that is to crush the rising rebellion by force, if other more clement measures fail. It is thought that this Paper breathes the sentiments of the people at the helm. We hear that movements hostile to the Pace party have been made by several Chiefs, and, should all the reports which have reached us prove true, he must be overwhelmed ; but there is so much party feeling, mystery, and decep tion amongst this people, that I would defy say man to discover the actual state of things, much less decide upon the termination that will follow. The only thing which could immediately prove decisive, would be the appearance of Bolivar. " General Pact has lost all popularity with the Ca raccasians, by issuing orders prejudicial to the interest of the merchants and other; no doubt he has acted under the advice of thodemons that surround him ; still he is censured for not taking counsellors who have some character. Failing in procuring money by a loan from the merchants, agriculturists, &c. he has declared that all duties at the Custom-houses of La Guayra and Porto Cabello shall be paid in cash. You should know that there is a species of paper in circulation, issued by order of Government, and up to this period it has been received at the Custom-houses in part of pay ment for duties; consequently this paper, which mer chants and others buy at a considerable discount, is per fectly useless; even these Government bills, which had . been paid to individuals for contracts only a few days previously, have been refused by the Custom-house.— fhis act must soon be cancelled, for the result has been, that people have refused to pay any duties, unless the paper is taken in part of payment. Another or der has been published, that no extracts from public papers shall be printed in the journals of Caraccas. P ae z ha s s ent this order to the Intendant, fearing that articles will be published upbraiding himself and his cause. How des perate must be the condition of a patty to require such illiberal proceedings for its support! I might fill another sheet with reports and surmises, such as the displace ment of one officer from command, and the promotion of another ; of the creation of some, and the breaking of others : we are, however, sceptical on many points. We did expect some news from England in reference to l i our affairs here; but I presume the letters reached you about two days after the packet had sailed." FROM A DUTCH PATNA. HAARLEM, Sin. 25. The accounts from Groningen are still very melan choly. The number of deaths, which, from the 7th to the 14th of September, was 142 ; increased in the following week, from th e 14 th to the 21st, to 175. The great disproportion between the number of medical men and that of the s!ck, is the cause that the greater part of the latter remain without any medical assistance whatever. Most trades stand still on account of the sickness of the workmen—and hence many an industrious family is reduced to the greatest d s tess. To alleviate this new evil as much as possible, and to enable those much-to-1 be pitied persons to look forward with less apprehensionl to the approaching winter, eighteen inhabitants of the city have united to draw up a list of those farni!ies which, receiving no relief from the churches, are in want of assistance in consequence of the prevailing dis orders. 'these Gentlemen will receive contributions in money, file), or clothing, and distribute them am-mg the necessitous. The new Infirmary answers the expectations that were formed of it : the number of patients received amounted, on the 20th of September, to 275, all per. sons of the loweit class, none of whom hod died since the 16th. The number of deaths up to that time was only twelve, of whom five were pretty far advanced in life. By judicious arrangements, room had been made for SO more patients; but in order to make this useful establishment still more advantageous, and to be able to receive a much greater number of p a tients, a sepa rate house was wanted for the convalescent, who can ', not be removed to their own habitatiJns without dan ger of a relapse. The accounts from Friesland respecting the disorders prevailing there are also very unfavourable. At Sneck, a town of 6,000 inhabitants, ninety-six persotls died in the month of August, and sixty-six from the Ist to the 18th of September. In Woodsend, a village wkb 900 inhabitants, 4$ died in 30 days. In Friesland, as well as in Groningen, they complain of want of medical men to attend the sick, and also of persons able to attend as nurses. A private letter from Groningen gives frightful de tails of the state of the city ; not only the poor, but even the middling class of people, Cannot procure medi cal advice or medicines ; many apothecaries are sick ; among them is the city apothecary, and the Dispensary is shut op. In short, every thing is in confusion. If any one will have a doctor, he must watch for his rid ing through the street, seite the bridle of his horse, and drag him by the clothes into the house. Every moment of the day, whatever way you turn your eyes, you see poor wretches carried to their graves. All is still and dead. We have not th;rty stud.mts, though the Haarkns Courant announced that the lec tures would begin. Almost all the soldiers are ill ; there is a guard of three men and corporal in the greit market ; not a single sentinel is to be seen in any part of the city, very few soldiers being well, though the mortality among them is inconsiderable. The number of deaths from the eth of June to the 7th of Sep. tember, was SOS; arid from the 7th to the 41st of S e pt e mb e r, 317. —Total, 1,125. EXPEDITION TO GREECE. --.0- The following letter, which is full of int' resting mat ter, is written try a distinguished member of the expo dition; The date is old, but the partiettlars are all new. "CacLuots, Atm 6. " I suppose you have already been made acculainled with our misfortunes through the medium of the public prints, and 1 doubt slot but you have participated in the anxiety this delay has occasioned us. Our machinery being in stitch a state as to render it impossible to con tinue our voyage without reparation, we put in bete for the purpose of arranging it. The extraordinary sensa tion naturally occasioned by the arrival of a steam vessel for the first time in a semi-barbarous country was 'much heightened by a despatch received a few days pre viously from Turin. la The Piedmontese Minister at the Court of England, with a penetration worthy of • a legitimate diplomatist, had written . to his Government, informing it that Gen. Pepe was equipping, in England, a fleet of steam.vessels for the purpose of attacking Sicily. When the Pied montese Minister at the Court of London could permit himself to become the subject of such a political hoax, (for such I must consider it, unless I suppose him to be hoaxing his own Government), it is not at all sur pr6ing that the Viceroy here should be in total de. spair at the sight of a steam•vessel. All the guns of the fortress that could be brought to bear on the vessel were directed against her; a gun-boat was anchored close to her; the guards of the town were doubled, and the gates shut at eight o'clock. After seven days' quaran tine, we were admitted to praticiee, and a strict search made amongst our crew for General Pepe; but being unable to discover him did not altogether remove their fears—two passengers were regarded with the the most suspicious eye, and it was not without infinite difficulty they were permitted to land. Each hour brought new tidings fraught with matter of additional alarm. At one moment a fleet of frigates was seen off the bay—at others steam vessels ; now it was ascertained we had landed General Pepe at Almeria—again we had been seen off the coast previous to our arrival, transporting our guns into another vessel. A Maltese Government schooner arrived from Genoa, and it was ascertained she was come to bear despatches frdm us to our consorts. No trifle was omitted that ignorance could impress into the service of suspicion. She bore a red ensign—we b.we the same colour, and it appears the British Naval Admiral bears a white flag. This coincidence was proof positive in the eyes of such authorities, that we made part of a squadron destined to revolutionize all Europe, and if not directly fitted out by the British Government, at least favoured by it. gi These recorts furnished daily food for the excited appetite of this ignorant Government, and not less ig norant population, till at length, when even they began to be wearied with the monotony of the farce, arrives the post from Piedmont, bringing intelligence that the Perseverance steam-vessel, with Lord Cochrane on board, had touched at Almeria. Advice to the THE BURMESE W.R. GENERAL ORDERS BY THE RIGHT HON. THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL The relations of friendship between the British Go. verntnent and the State of Ava, having been happily re-established, by the conclusion of a definitive treaty of peace, the Governor-General, in Council, performs a most gratifying act of duty, in offering publicly, his cor dial acknowledgments and thanks to Major-General Sir Archibald Campbell, and the army' in Ava, by whose gallant and persevering exertions, the recent con• test with the Burmese Empire has been brought to an honourable and successful termination. In reviewing the events of the late war. the Governor General, in Council, is bound to declare his conviction, that the achievements of the British army in Aim, have nobly sustained our military reputatioa, and have pro. duced substantial benefit to the national interests. During a period of two years, from the first declara tion of hostilities against the Government of Ave, every disadvantage 'of carrying on war in a distant and most difficult country, has been overcome, and the collective forces of the Burman empire, formidable from their ,numbers, the strength of the fortified positions, and the shelter afforded by the nature of the country, have been repeatedly assailed and defeated. 'Ele persevering and obstinate efforts of the enemy, to oppose our advance, having failed of success, and his resources and means of further resistance having been exhausted, the King of Ava has, at length, keen compelled to accept those terms of peace, which the near approach of our army to the gates of his capital enabled us to dictate. Every object the Governor General, in Council, is happy to proclaim, for which the wax was undertaken, has been finally, and most satifactorily, accomplished. With sentiments of the.higisest gratification, bis Lord ship, in Council, further declines his persuasion, that the 'result of the contest, by teaching the Burman nation to honour and respect the Power which it had, for a series of years, instated, by its haughty demands, and unpro. yoked aggressions, will prevent the interruption, in fu ture, of those friendly relations, which it is the interest of both States to maintain; will pave .the way tor a freedom of intercourse hitherto unknown ; and promises ,to open to commerce new and advantageous sources, I calculated to promote the interests and prosperity of both countries. To the consummate military talents, energy, and de cision, manifested by Major General Sir Archibald Campbell, to the ardour and devotion to the public ser vice, which his example infused into all ranks, and to the confidence inspired by the success of our mi:i►ary operation, which he planned and executed in person. the Governor General ascribes, under PROVIDENCE, the brilliant results that have crowned the gallant and un wearied exertions ( f the British troops in Ava. Im pressed with sentiments of high admiration, for those eminent qualities, so conspicuously and successfully displayed by M %jot. General Sir A. Campbell, his Lord. ship, in Council, rejoices in the opportunity of expressing to that distinguished soldier, in the most public manner, the acknowledgments and thanks of the Supreme Go.. vernment, for the important service he has rendered to the Honourable East India Company, and to the British Nation. The thanks of Government are also eminently due to the senior Officers, who have so ably and zealously se. conded Major General Sir A. Campbell in his career of victory. Biigad:ers General Cotton, M , Bean and M'Creagh, deservedly hold a high place in the estinadien of his Lordship, iu Council, who has repeatedly had oc casion to notice, with applause, the gallantry, skill, aad promptitude, displayed by those officers in the execu tion of the various important operations entrusted to their direction. Animated by the s 'me noble spirit, Brigadiers Miles, Shaw, Abrington, Armstrong, Smelt, Hunter, Blair, Brodie, Paper, Parlby, Godwin, H op ki nson , an d S a l e, have entitled themselves to the distinction of receiving, from the Governor General, in Council, on this occasion, the renewed expression of the sense entertained of their eminent services, for which they have, on various occa sions, received the thanks of Government through Ma. joy General Sir Archibald Campbell. Amongst these zealous gallant officers, some have been more fortunate than others in enjoying oppor tunities of performing special services. The ability with which Lieutenant Colonel Godwin, of his Majesty's 41 achieved the conquest of thefortified town of Mar taban, and of its dependencies, appears to confer on that officer a just claim to the separate and distinct ac knowledgment of the Governor General, in Council.. In like manner, Lieutenant Colonel Miles and Brigadier General M'Creagh have entitled themselves to the spe cial thanks of Government for their services ; the for mer in the capture of Tavoi and Mergui, and the latter in that of the island of Cheduba. The limits of a General Order necessarily preclude the Governor General, in Council, from indulging in the satisfaction of recording the names of all those obi• cers whose services and exploits at this moment crowd upon the grateful recollection of the Government, by whom they were duly appreciated and acknowledged at the time of their occurrence. His Lordship, in Coun cil, requests that those officers will collectively and in.
