BOLIVAR'S LETTER. Posairsu, Dec. 16, 1830. " My dear General.—To-day I depart for the Valley of Cauca, with an intention of continuing my march towards the no rth : and although Austria has made a long stay, he has not lost the time, inasmuch as be has been able to medi tate thoroughly upon the pro p osition which be has come to make me on behalf of your Excellency, at the same time making known the patriotic and generous sentiments by which you are actuated in the present crisis of the republic. He now takes his leave, and will tell you verbally all our conversation relative to the matter in question. Meanwhile I will only repeat what I have already told you ossesruing the policy that ought to be adopted for the preservation of the republic, which we have „created through the Imam and sacrifices of the people. " Every body wishes to know what 1 think ought to be done by the approaching Congress. My reply has uni formly been, that having called it together, and invested it with the powers which the Council of State desired it to possess, and having given it authority to form a constitu tion and appoint a chief magistrate, I ought to abstain from hilluenciog its approaching deliberations by my own opi nions. I have said further , that I ought not to be present at the place of its sessions, lest it should be supposed that I bad some hand in the legislative proceedings of the Deputies; that I ought not even to express in my message my opinion relative to the form of government and the modifications which on that subject the country requires. Also I have resolved not to accept the appointment which the Congress may offer me, of President of the Republic, that it may not be said that I have conferred these powers upon the Deputies in order to secure my own election. " For all these reasons, and many others which I cannot . mention, it is my irrevocable determination to resign the Pre sidency of the State, and never again to accept it, even though I should *be elected anew, and urged ever so earnestly to return to the exercise f its functions. But I am also determined to continue my services to the Re public, in the capacity of General-in-Chief of the Army, and to render perfect obedience to the new Magistrate, supporting him with all my authority, influence and re sources ; intending that my seal for the public service shall be more efficient and active than hitherto, in order to make amends, in this crisis, for my separation from the Government, and to save the Republic, if possible, flan dissolution by civil war, or by other causes more or less to be deplored. In adopting this resolution, I have reckoned upon the very important aid of your friendship towards me, that we may jointly preserve the country in the present extraordi nary jarring. of opinion, if you should be elected to the Pre sidency: or, if your disinterestedness should decline the ap pointment or not desire it, then as comrades and companions in arms; for without this co-operation on your part, I should scarcely hope to contribute to so desirable a result. " So then, my dear General, you ought to decide imme diately to save the country, commanding or serving—and moreover, you should lose no time in communicating to your friends in Congress, whether or not you will accept the Presidency should it be conferred on you : for when once the election is made, it is absolutely necessary that the candidate elect should enter immediately upon the dis charge of his functions, in order to prevent intrigues, poli tical and military, which would otherwise take place in the interval. I give you my word of honour, that with the greatest pleasure I will obey your orders, if you become chief of the state ; and I desire that you will give me a similar assurance on your part, in case any other per son should be chosen to govern us. I have not sought to exert an influence in this matter, because I do not wish to burden myself with new political responsibilities. It how ever belongs to the candidates to make known their findings and wishes, that the legislators may not be embarrassed by being unacquainted with the dispositions of those who may succeed me in the command. " Col. Austria will explain to you in detail the advan tages which will result to the republic from my separation (from the Government), and the circumstances which have led me to the adoption of this measure. He is also in structed to inform you what will be my course under these circumstances, and to collect such information in Bogota as may acquaint you with the present state of affairs, in order that you may be able to judge with more wisdom, and form your determination accordingly. For myself I only ask one thing, viz. that you will communicate to me with all frankness, what you think, or desire to do under existing circumstances, for which purpose I will advance to Cucuta u rapidly as I am able. "No one loves Venezuela more than I do. No one ea demean& better its true interests. And as yours and mine are intimately connected with the soil which gave us birth and glory, we ought to form a union the most sincere and cordial between Venezuela and ourselves. But you may always , take it for granted, that the destiny of Colombia depends upon that of Venezuela, and the destiny of Venezuela upon that of Colombia. " I could add much more to this communication, which would never end. I therefore refer you to what will be stated by Austria, who is fully acquainted with my views, which are briefly these—Sustain the Congress. I remain, my dear General, your most Mend, " BOLIVA " To his Excellency General Jose Antonio Pass (A true copy) " Colonel J. AUSTRIA."

LITERATURE. • THE ROYAL LADY'S The ladies of the present day in this country, if appreciated by having such elegant miscellanies prepared for them as that now be. fore us, mutt have Mussed very mach is literary taste, and gamma incelligeoce. The magathaes for the southwest, We an Seen to NY, have detarkested in the real, solid, useful qmlides, which woe once cons:dered the essential objects of such miseelleedes t—ead, szespt the numbers of SYLTANIIII UPHAM, there ale ma which Mk mush in material, or excel in literary merit, the magmas now lbelbse us—the bet of a new work. The plates of halms, to be sem, may be canaideeed as distinguishing the ladies' megasines ; and we do. only wish the evidence they convey to the feeling eye, at the and punishment the ladies of this Gentry inflict upon their NM due beaks, wave n aeditable to their good MOM% SS MO the literary politi cises papered for their pausal Tbe ingsaleas omaintime by which, under the woe of Pedalos, they *stay &Ms, the sproary of the form which the ALMIGHTY hes given then to govern,—lay beauty's witchery the wayward mind of uno,—is Maly miens. Ws have as doubt the four young ladies, we see brilliantly dammed's felitesitlen. able attire in the host of this number, are Gana Isprosentatime of a gnats et beings,. really existing in this metropeile p—but when we look at the toempeivable sinalloses at—how shall we word it P.—that part of the human trams which Vane atelreles with her metes, we are, seriously, a little relined, in spite a Ramos sad his fie ativairesi, to wonder bow each corporeal foams can actually "live, sod move, and have a befog." We have no doubt the pablielsor has dons his duty most correctly in giving you, fide Reams—for we hope we may latter ourselves we have each--a correct view of the issidens; but be assured, that all taste in dress is false, where the dress shapes the body, and not the body the dress. Besides plates of the fashions, the Magazine contains a good portrait of the present King, and a view of the ruins of Renilwoeth. There are many wall written original Essays and Tales in this number, and some amusing Poetry : and the Review department is executed with an tuitional degree of wit, earcaam, and critical acuteness. We think, on the whole, however, that the " Keepsake," and its eontribeters, are treated with an unmerited degree of severity; and that the Mims and Gentlemen who amuse themselves by contributing to the Anil* should be candidly, if not kindly, treated. The ankle to which we allude is, we must coofees, en amusing critique, if it be not aim% just. And now we shall be bold enough to pick erne sr two faults this number of the " Royal Ladies' Magesine." We think, then, that , both the " Life of Sully," and the portion of the ballad of " Auld Robin Gray," are not sufficiently new : but all the rest of the matter is excellent, and original The " Phrenologist," and " Bury Body:' are lively essays; and the " Unrevealed," and " Mother's Sacrifice," two interesting tales. MACHINERY. The question lately and daily agitated about machinery, is one of the most interesting and important which a poles writer can approach. Parties whose entire estate is Oinit skill in any branch of labour, complain that they, and their families, are undone and ruined. by theintroduction of new machinery ; while, on the other band, it is evident, that improved machinery, to produce more, better, and at less expense, is the basis of public prosperity. Several mawk ish publications have been put about, and many common places have been advanced, in and out of season, to prove what no one disputes, the use and advantages of machinery; but this is not the question, and is a sophistical evasion of the real difficulty. If a machine is a public benefit, ought any to suffer exchnively fora public benefit ? Is it just to expect that any individual should be sacrificed for what is an admitted benefit to all ? The power of labouring is an artisan's es tate—take away the labour and be is reduced to beggary, though this very labour has been the inheritance of many generations. Do we take sway other men's estates in like manner? and if wanted for the public use, are they not al ways scrupulously indemnified ? Could not labourers and artisans, on adducing suitable proofs, be also indemnified, for such periods as enabled them to obtain other employments, or learn other arts ? Two years purchase, at most, would reconcile all interests, and then no one could or would re pine at improvements; while many valuable and important inventions would be introduced, which conscientious Imes tors actually suppress, rather than spread misery among *sit igdustrious neighbours. If to be just cost a million a year, the benefits would be ten-fold, and in perpetuity. To avoid this inconvenience, the Chinese permit no ma chinery to do that which can be done by hand. They use the spade, the hoe, and the plough, because men cannot perform those operations with their hands, and whatever can not be done by hand is allowed ; but nothing which abridges the labour of the people, if they want it. Of this policy we offer no opinion, for we are the advocates of improvements and machinery ; but it seems evident that their adoption merits a special regime—a code adapted to it, and some pro vision made, for a time, for those who prove injury. The attention which has lately been unhappily forced to the sub ject, and the anxious desire of the highest classes to afford all possible relief to the complaining, will justify us in giv ing a place to these observations, and we merely offer them as our mite, pro bone public°. THEATRE ROYAL, DUBLIN-LORD ANGLESEY. A gentleman named Timothy Blake was removed from the theatre last night, by a peace-officer from the head office of po lice, and charged in College-street watch-house, for using “ gross language" to the Marquis of Anglesey. We understand that the gentleman was guilty of no such misdemeanour; that his only crime was to join in a groan at the mention of the noble Marquis's name. He left his gold watch in deposit to appear before the magistrates this day, when the matter will probably be fully investigated. Mr. Blake was then liberated. Mr. M'Dona, of Ceps'-street, and another person who re fused to give his name, were also charged in the watch-house for " disturbing the pesos in the theatre." They, too, joined in the groans and other cries raised against his Excellency. The head and front of their offending had this extent—ne more." Mr. M'Dona left his watch for his appearance upon this day,and the other person, who had not got a watch, and° who would not tell his name, was detained in the dock all night. aumanmx==== STATE OF THE COUNTEr.
