LONDON, THURSDAY, Nomura 10, 1125.

By the Crisis, which has arched in the Downs from
New York, after a passage of only seventeen days, we hive
received papers to the Vet ult. The most interesting ar-
ticle brought by thi; conveyance is the letter of Bouvna,
in answer to s communication from General SANTA rum R,
. announcing the recognition of the independence of Co-
lombia by Great Britain. The Liberator's heart was evi-
dently fillut with intense joy at beholding the consum-

mation of the great work to which he has devoted him-
self,—the establishment of the liberty and independence of
his beloved country. The following are the terms in which
he expresses his sentiments:—
. TO MII rxcet.t.rucsr THE ♦ICE-PDEIID;XT or THE RE-
PUBLIC OX COLOMBIA.
" Sir—T yesterday received, with unsneelable joy, the gloriou
communlcatton which your Excellency did me the honour to ad
dregs to me. announcing the recooition of Colombia by the mis-
,
. 'trees of nations, Great Britain. 1 coneratulateutyself, coy enur..
try. and your Excellency, at the termination of an enterprise which
crowns the people with blessing•, tie: soldiers with laurels, and the
government with gloiy, which hw been the architect of this pro-
digious work. The army in the field, and your Excellency in the
a iministration„ are the authors of the existence and of the freedom
c:'Coloin!.ia. The former gave life to the soil of their fathers and
c` rhea children. and your Excellency gave it liberty by causing
thr leys to he respected, is the midst of ►he dash of arms and the
clanking of chains. Your Excellency has solved the most difficult
problem in polities—whetter a people of stares ten become free ?
'sour Excellency, therefore, is entitled to the gratitude of Cu-
t linable, and of the heroic race I beg your Excellency to accept
of mine, both as a soldier and a citizen.
" I request your Excellency to receive the satin:cots of ay dis-
tinguished considt.ration and respect.
" Arequipa, June 3, 1845. BOLIVAR."
The Liberator was, at the end of April, in Yea, near
Cusco. General St:car.'s head-quarters were at Potosi.
The forces of the rnited Liberating Army had been as-
sernbled at Chuquisaca. in Upper Peru. These Papers
' also contain a letter from this General, announcing what
has long been known here, the surrender of Colonel
VALUEz, with the last body of *pettish roldiers in the field
in America, and stating what has appeared before, that
18,000 Spaniards had been put hors de combat between
September, BE 4, and April. 1815. The advices from Lima
reach to the moth of June, at which period Callao still de-
fled its besiegers.

A secret expedition was preparing at Carthagena at the
elcse cf SepteMiler. ft was to consist of the whole of the
Colombian naval force. We think it highly probable that
this armament was destined spinet Porto Rico.
'rite domestic news of the United States is that of tran-
' gc it prosperity. The Treasury at Washington had ilened
a public notice of a loan for ten millions four hundred
thousand dollan, at the rate of 4) per cent. per annum,
payable in two equal instalments, Ist January, 1829, and
• Ist January, 1830.
The dispute between the federal Government and that of
f;eorgis is likely to be prolonged. The State seems to have
espousel the rinse of the Governor, who, contrary to all
reasonable expectation, has been re-elected by a large ma-
jority of his fellow-citiz►ns. The feeling that prevails with
regard to this question may be estimated by the following
paragraph from the New York Commercial Aleerlicer
•• The intonee of the moon seems to have been very extensive
Clearitia. Not only the Govornor but two-thirds of the people
are mad—siree the latter hive re•elerted the toner, by a vete of at
least twenty to one."

The Richmond Enquirer contains • rather rinTilar
article, which we subjoin, explanatory of some of the
causes of quarrel between the PustituNso and Commodore
PORTE:I. It appears that a prodigious conflagration was
raginv in the forests of Maine :
NEW YORK, ()CT. 19.

The Ba•srla&k Gazelle mentions the arrival of Captain Loring,
who reports that when off Portland he saw the reflection of a large
fire upon the sky, in a direction between Kenchick and Penobscot
Rivers, extending, as Le estimated, at about 23 miles; and adds,
the vapours rendered the navigation more difficult than the thickest
I for:. The ednor adds, there can be no doubt that ■ tremendous lee
• has been raging in the forests of Maine. We aeon expect to hest
, that an immense amount of property has been destroyed. The
fins has also extmded over a large proportion of the county of
!4orr.erset.

.Gene) Lafayette, who seem) never tired of doing good, de-
termined to interpose his good offiess between Commotion Porter
and the Presidents( the United States. He accordingly appealed to
the President, at whose house he was staying. it was on his last
visit to Waillingten, and a few days before he embarked far Lis
wive country. He appealed to the President by the meet urgent
motives, requesting him to suspend Commodore Porter's sentence,
to nature l imn to his rani-, sod enforced his application by the re-
mark, that he should consider the measure ass favour done to him-
self by the United States. The President yielded, and it was ar-
ranged that when Commodore Porter should wait on General
Lsisyette so take leave of him, the President should meet him,
present his his sword, mod restore him to tht service of his country.
Ufsfdrtanately, at ibis alsis,'Comniodore Porter ree:ived an invi-
tation to a public dinner. by dome gentlemen of the district, whose
card drew Awn the Ceornodere those expressions of dissatisfaction
with the Navy Deportation, winch the world Las already seen in
print. Mr. Adams sew this letter, showed it to General Lafayette,
and said him how, lodge such eircamststres, be could,gratit the
boon which he had reonsated It When, therefore. Commodore
Porter waited upon Genital Lafayette, instead of meeting him as
he intended, the President turned as de. and addressed himself to
