Yesterday we were favoured by an eminent merchant in
the City with a file of the Colombian° Caracas paper. The
following are extracts :

A Revere hurricane which has driven into our port several vessel
dismaated and in diatrms, has prevented us front receiving commits)
nicationa from Puerto Rico until this morning. We new learn that,
Laborde, the Commander of the Spanish squadron, appeared dir
Aquadilla with his frigate, *corvette, a brim and a schooner. Flo
did net anchor, but gave information of the Spanish corvette Cerro
haring been given up to a Colombian force by the treason of her
Commander, lion Martin Espana. satsail again Immediately. 1
am surprised that he suffered himself to be seen there ; although St
may arise from his vessels having sustained some damage. We
have also learnt that a Spanish privateer has had an action with •
Colombian privateer, or national schooner, and that, after the loss
of thirty men on the pan of the Spaniards, the Colombian schooner
was carried by boarding, the crew put to dath, and the vessel taken
to the Havannah.

Yesterday a Colombian privateer wired here commanded fig
Captain Kafety. having in company a prize schooner freighted with
negroes, who will be sold here at a reduced price to be conveyed to
Puerto Rico, u has been done with ppnnssnn of several ether ply*.
teas, and same of them under the C,obmbiaa flag, to the discredit
of the nation. It Is not many days since, that two Spanigh brigs
were brought in Lm, and their eargoes said at so low a vase, that
oil was bought at a &Um the dembehn, sod a p of good red Wily

privateers; why then permit them to exist ? The circumstances

recognitims, and when we ought to disamninate sound political seal
civil principles, be a serious injury tour.

CARACAS, WEDNESDAY, MAY Z.
The public will pat se with extreme interest the Message of the
Vice-President to Congress, published hi this day's paper._
There is s peculiar and manly character in this document. which
distinguishes it from all that have gone before it. It tells the aim.
pie truth, and neither exaggerates our excellencies, nor conceal.
our defects. That false colouring and metaphor, which in some ot
our state Papers approaches hyperbole, and which savors rather of
weakness than power, is here discarded; and °mend Santander,
with a moderation peculiar to real strength, has given the Congress,
as he premised,* faithful pictures-not a flattering likeness of :130
Republic.
In treating of the matter of most interest at this moment, namely,
the precise views of the British Commissioners, his Excellency
leads us to infer that there is nothing determinate in their powers..
After observing that " the sympathy of the British nation, and
the justice of its Government, did inspire him with the most
flattering hopes," be adds, " I am sorry that I cannot anrounce to
you the definitive resolution of his Britannic Majesty, with respect
to the Republic." Thus we nay reasonably presume, that the
British Government will await the repots of its Commistionen be.
fore any decisive step be taken.
The sentiments of his Excellency respecting the loose and Map.
pliable state of our laws, are, we believe, the sentiments of all the
Judges and Law Oaken in the nation ; and the earnestness with
which he presses this point on the attention of Congress is a proof
of the best intentions, and must excite general satisfaction. The
real evil in our present code seems to us to be, that the laws
rest on no abstract immutable principle—that all is relative and
capricious—that the plea of expediency—change of Judges -- and a
thousand other contingencies, mar:ender the law of yesterday a
dead letter to-day ; and furnish motives for pardoning in one man
a crime for which another is condemned. Among the mass of
consistencies and rubbish to be found in the Spanish code, where
various statutes prevail, each in contradiction to the other„—where
moreover, the King has the power of commuting, altering, or ahs.
fishing at pleasure—we will defy any man to found aped the
equity and justice of his cause any reasonable hope of gaining it ;
whereas in other countries, a man enters a Court of law with a
security derived from the exercise of inviolate principles ; and, as
on the merits of his case infallibly depends its issue, he requires
but reason and good sense to arrive at some certain conclusiwi res.
petting the result. But with us, we have hope without right. arc
right without hope. We do therefore mpst heartily concur in the
necessity of a general reform in this particular, however gradual
ma
_y be its progress.
The Exacta:ye reminds our representatives (and with niwcient
reason, an we think) of the confidence reposed in them by the na-
tion, and that its continuance will depend on their doing justice to
the many clams their constituents have on their attention. Weans
not acquainted with the circumstances which might have rendered
necessary the prorogation of the last Congress, with so much Lust-
nem still on hand ; but we must confess our surprise at the fact,
' when we learn front the present Message, that the important men-
' surest recommended in the Memorials of the Smetana of
' State were not even debated in that Congress. We trust that
by the joint labours of the present one, and its Committees,
more justice will be shown to the urgent necessities of the
' country.
The state of our Revenue and the Posts iv urged in the Nlessn4e
r with an errnestness worthy of the subject; as one on which, coo-
, jointly with an improved Administration of Justice, depends our
very existence as &nation.
' By a late arrival from St. Thomas, we have received information
' that Mr. Ilurtado, our Minister, has recoimised the Cog' sh
Loan of on behalf of our Government, and that l'olotuniss
: Stock had risen, in consequence. from lid to 88 per cent. Our
papers by this conveyance not being to a later date than the kith
I of March, we arc unable to say on what authority this statement
• rests

01.1) there ass.—On Tuesday last, a gentleman of the
name of Feddon, at the sale of the erects of an all man
who lived near Bloomsbury-equate, and who, daring hie
life, had collected several choice specimens of curiosity,
was attracted by the appearance of an old painting, arias-
rently ponessod of beauties which were partially obscured
by the accumulated dust and dirt of years long gone by.
When it came to the hammer, he had the good fcrinne to
have it knocked down to him, for the tr4ling sum of eigh-
teen ahill.ngs. It has since turned out to be whit he an-
ticipattal, an original of great value, frem the hands of
one of the first masters, and in very fine pres:Tv:diem The
above gentleman, some time aline, brought frem France
a picture which he there purchased for half-a-crown,
which is now considered to be extremOy valuable.
