Reply to the President and Members of the Council of Government to the French Commissioner M. de %LESSON. " Sin, " The mission which has been confided to you attests the deep interest which France and its august Sovereign take in the cause of Colombia. The splendid spectacle which France now presents, and the views entertained by its monarch, who after embracing all that can contribute to the well-being of the Kingdom he governs with so much wisdom, has extended them far beyond the Atlantic, are proofs that the most Christian King has comprehended his age—the age of philanthropy and reason. 46 Philosophy and justice will not tolerate, that a people who has secured its independence by the heroic sacrifices a nd glorious triumphs of twenty years, obtained exclu sively by their own efforts, shall be longer excluded by enlightened men from the community of civilized nations. " If Colombia has not been hitherto able to consolidate her institutions, it is the effect of those accidents inevi table in all great political revolutions. In all their efforts the people of Colombia have proved their fondness for good order, their love of freedom, and the most lively anxiety for the establishment of a government in which the laws may predominate, in which justice may reign, and in which its own inherent force may become the guarantee of prosperity and reputation. " In its late conflicts the sound judgment of Colombia entrusted its fate to the LIBERATOR President ; and con fided to him without restriction its destinies. Its funda mental organization, the cessation of internal dissensions, the glorious termination of a fratricide war, and the con vocation of the constituent congress, have justified their election. " In the first day of the ensuing year the National Repre sentatives will be assembled. This body will not be in attentive to the lessons of our own experience, nor the salutary councils of public reason. The wishes of France and of her august Sovereign will be accomplished. " In the meantime, Sir, it is for Colombia a gratifying event that France, who, fifty years ago, made such gene rous efforts to assist the emancipation of the first free na tion created in the new world, should have directed her views upon our country. The pacific independence of the Continent of Columbus is necessary for the prospe rity of the new world, and the complete civilization of the old. There is but one act of perfect justice want ing, in order that the name of Charles X. may pass to the remotest posterity with the glory due to philosophical and just Princes. " It is most honourable for me that the accidental ab sence of the Liberator President, should have afforded 1 • me the occasion to express these sentiments, and to as sure you, that the feelings of the Council over which I have the honour to preside, are similar to those, Sir, your self expressed." No. 11. Extract from the dispatch of General SUC RE to the Secretary of State, relative to the results of the battle of Tarqui : " HERD -QUARTERS, Quito, March 1 1 th, 1829. " The Peruvian army being completely routed, I sent an Officer of the Staff to offer terms of capitulation, which might save its remains from total destruction ; for the honour and just resentment of Colombia once satisfied, it was neither the desire of the Government nor the troops to shed any more Peruvian blood, or combat without glory. General LA MAR replied, by demanding the concessions he wished to obtain, and requesting that Commissioners might be named to conduct the negocia tion. Upon which General HERES and Col. O'LEARY were appointed on our side. " Hostilities were now suspended, the enemy having lost in killed, wounded, and prisoners, above two thousand five hundred men, including sixty superior Officers, a quantity of arms, standards, and baggage. The field of battle presented a scene of the utmost horror: fifteen hundred dead bodies which lay in the field had expiated the offences towards Colombia and the Liberator, as well as the crimes of the 2d of August, 1810, at Quito. Ad hering to the orders of Government, not to abuse our victory, I reduced my instructions to the terms which had been proposed to General LA MAR, on the 3d of February at Ona, when he applied to know on what conditions Colombia would consent to make peace. I thought it indecorous for the Republic, and its Chief, to humiliate ' Peru after a defeat, by harder conditions than when her army amounted to double our numbers ; and I wished to show that our sense of justice was the same after, as before the battle. " After much discussion, the Peruvian Commissioners observed that their General declared in the replies of Saraguro, that the basis proposed at Ona were those which a victorious army would impose on a vanquished people, and that he could not agree to them. It being late in the day when this reply was communicated to me, I immediately sent beck my ultimatum, stating that un less the terms offered at Ona were accepted before day light next morning, no further negociation should take place, without adding to the proposals of Ona two more clauses, demanding of the Peruvian army the surrender of its remaining arms and standards, as also payment of all the expenses of the war. " At five o'clock on the morning of the 28th, a Co lonel of the Peruvian army appeared in our camp, and solicited on the part of his General a total suspension of hostilities, with a request that as I knew all the officers, I would consent to name any two who were most likely to inspire confidence. I replied that all were alike eli gible to me, but that I had indicated my wish of naming General GAMARRA, at Paquichapa. At ten o'clock, General FLORES and Colonel O'LEARY proceeded to a house between the two camps, as the Commissioners on our side. Here they were met by Generals GAMARRA and Oaaloos°, in behalf of the Peruvian army. After, a lengthened discussion of all the points, and their' having claimed the generosity of Colombia and fraternity I of the South Americans, the conditions were signed. " This morning, 2,500 of the Peruvian army, being the remains of 8,400 which they acknowledge to have marched into the Colombian territory, commenced their march from Jiron. And from the state of indiscipline and demoralization to which this signal defeat has re duced them, I do not think even a thousand will re cross the Macarl. " Our losses in the splendid victory of Tarqui, men whom we deplore as the victims of national venguance, consists of fifty-four killed, and two hundred and six wounded. " Thirty days in the field have destroyed the labours and preparations of two years which Peru has devoted to , the invasion of Colombia, while two hours fighting were sufficient for fifteen hundred of our brave troops to van quish the whole military force of Peru. Grant that this severe lesson may lead to an unalterable peace, and that the integrity and independence of each state may hence , forth become the fundamental basis of the political system of all the South American Governments.

To the manager of the Lyceum (Mr. Arnold) who first conceived the project of adding a regular English Opera to our stational Drama, the thanks of our Literati and the public are due ; it was a hazardous attempt that of naturalizing the music of a Mozart, a Pasiello, a Gluck. Weber, or Rossini, with an au dience, whose ears for the most part were unformed. and so bog accustomed to conceive the greatest power and beauty of harmony coofined to a Batch ballad, a heating strain, or a sailor's ditty ; and with whom mask still, with all its power of expression, is yet a dead language. We nightly see crowds in the Pit receive the meet exquisite morsels with the nausea of physic taking, while the Moll i'-the-Waddish jolly dogs and dories who form the main strength of our Theatres from the second tiers upwards, mocking a science they cannot understand, vociferate their private rattans for the edibcadoa of all hearers ; and proclaiming as imprecation or a horse laugh, sigh for such more enlivening strains as " Carry oo," er " Push about the jorum." To this desolating obstacle, when we add the winter monopoly of the great Theatres to the utter eulo- g ists of the rut' English Opera, we are only surprised how that Theatre can at all subsist. The strong interest we take I. this estabikhnsent induced mach pleasure in us to lora, through several indirect puffs, that a new opera called the •• Robber's Bride" was about to be produced, which promised fair to the Treasury of the Lyceum Theatre ; the name of Rios the composer having lately been familiar to us on the Continent, we were carious to amid at the representation of what has been called his "chef d'entere." but we are *eery to say our disappointment was he proportion to the warmth of our ezpecta dons; willing to give the piece a fair judgmeot, we have twice bestowed upon It a patient bearing. This opera is entirely Cahn. stated on the taste of the times, an extravagant and improbable lab ilia, aiming at terrific interest, overcharged with strained allenepta at originality, and skkening:affectadon of wildness.—The tinewiser of Weber, engrafted so the style of Beethoven, is the cha racteristic of this musk ; a thorough knowledge of science is every where eloborataly made evident, but snore absconds from every at tempt Rise seems eternally making to catch her in some fresh detail. Struggling to be mew, he has only become eccentric : his music runs constantly Into misters and ~seer mioors to an extent almost diadem : the voice, suspended by abrupt " pasts d'invies," at every instant, keeps the ear in continual tree. The moaning of the who!, the creaking of a gate. the chance slur of an Instrument, and other sounds of this description, be has, It would seem, caught up, and embodied in the Welk of this Opera. We are often inclined to ask whether he is not composing a cunning satire en the roman- tic in musk? and are thoroughly convinced that barflies professed himself hostile to Weber, and left less unobjectionable passages is proof of =Moir, kis composition would have been considered sur psgly clever, and have given , perhaps, the death-blow to the Satanic in composition. With all this, there are some passages of real sterling beauty, and as the ear gets more accustomed to his vagaries, we feel nu iodidgence, if not our pleasure, increase;— Ms distributions of voice are most ingenious, and ds choruses, though strange, are yet most effective :—that in the drat act, corn mewing with " La! be escapes" is of peculiar power.—Laara's invocation is a pretty tunnel, spoiled by a fife effect, servilely ala Weber. " Hard is my doom," and the cavatina, do honour to the composer. The " Hillio glee" is another hint from Der Freiscbuts, and, though very beautiful, is as much a Bacchanalian as the music of the hundred and fourth Psalm. To sum up, the whole is a monument of science and labour, and is calculated to remain a favourite with the orchestra , ho weveri it may fail with a less so. phis:land audience. For the Poem translated, it appears, from the German piece called " Die Itatiberbraut," we have only to say, alas, poor Ries ! what composition could bear out doggerel misery like this : Alas! what hateful duty Compels me to arraign A form this bean more gladly Would struggle to sustain. To me these ancient towers Of love and virtue tell; And must this hand unhappy Their pride, their banner, fell? The pains the vunsik plartiniter has taken to disfigure harmony by the =realm of his nonsense, ever contriving somehow to make the voice rest upon a brief s ound or inanity of thought, is particularly offensive in the recitation rendered thereby absurd even to risibility. We have no time here foe individual criticism. Sapio as usual cackles rflout the stage like a hen in the preparatory anxieties of incubation ; seeming quite relieved when delivered of a song. Why does this gentleman not confine himself to simple concert singing? Phillips still promises much for Opera, if bad example does net sink him to a mere stick amongst the rest of the Surrey bundle. What a pity he does not strive to correct his mouthing and chopping of words. Miss Betts is, in this piece, what Miss Betts is in every other—a respectable singer. and so we present our compliments. The usual liberties are taken in the getting up of this Opera, with our patience and common sense. Micas on a march, are be.riblemed and bedizened like tope tern—robbers are all dandyfied in new yellow boots—the daughter of a respectable gentleman, in an old castle, is dressed like a Princess at a Coronation ; e 1 when disguised as a peasant, still sticks to gew-gaws and embioidery. This profusion of tinsel and feather is quite sickening, and, destroying illusions, weans us from the Theatre. If Mr. Perkins would act less with all his might, and save himself the shocking fading of his cootortimu, we could judge better of his talents. Miss Cawse has little or nothing to do. We cannot conclude without a word to Mr. Hawes • we compliment him highly on the state of the orchestra under h is di ratios ; his zeal for the art is the certain pledge of much future li eminence. The bug postponed rowing match far a purse of sovereign, given by the Gentlemen of the Red Hosea Club, took place yes. terday.

The prisoner and the prancing', It appeucd, slept together on the night in ques tion, whoa the former availed himself of the opportunity afforded Ilan and went eS with the property la question. Four witnesses were called to bring home the charge to the prisoner, one of whom proved the watch to have been in his possession. There was a de feet, however, in the proof of the name of the landlord of the house, and the capital part of the charge was thus pt rld of. The Jury found the prisoner Godley of the larceny.
