COLOMBLI.

[From the National Gazette.]
The Manifesto of the Executite Department of the Govermr.en
of Cotomb's, relating to the insurrection in Venezuela, and dated
the Stith April last has been received this offer. It is a long,
able, and decisive iocument.
According to this document, the department of Venezuela. Gen.
Pacz himself, and the armed force stationed in that department,
were objects of the particular favour, and indeed partiality, of tho
General Government; and he and his soldiery are guilty of "spe-
cial ingratitude" as well as high treason. When, so early IsTeb,
lid-I, jealous and factious discontents were found to have attained a
height which required close attention, General Pace particularly un-
dertook that .the garrison of Caracas " should be composed of
troops and officers worthy of entire confidence on account of their
determined attachment to the Constitution, and to that unity or con-
solidation in which, to use his own language, the power and felicity
of the Government essentially consisted."
For a whole year the General abstained from executing the
mi-
litia law, and retrained silent about it in his official correspondence;
and then suddenly executed it in a manner which occasioned a.pe-
titian against him to the Legislature, from that very niunimpaL
body of Caracas, which afterwards declared for him, ostensibly in
consequence of the measures of the Legislature on the subject. i'bo

that the present occurrence Of the municipal authorities is the effect
of intimidation, and the people of Venezuela ate its fast averse flout
otherre affi
his seditious and outrageous designs.
The Executive Government adds, that it has received assurances
of loyalty and support from the neighbouring seuusunities and
civil and military authorities, and calls upon the anion to defend
and sustain the sacred code of her liberties.

(From the Bogt•ta Cuastitutional, July 11.1
The manifesto of General Bermudez will be read with pleasure
by every one capable of appreciating the service which at this too-
ment lie has it in his power to render to his country aad to the
cause of c vii liberty throughout the world. Every line betrays as
intimate knowledge of the principles of Government ; and, tiled the
voice of reason have made itself heard amidst the clamours of am-
bition, it might have opened the eyes of General Pees to the abyss
into which he was madly plunging himself, and dispelJord dr/cloud
of error which his unprincipled advisers had artfully 'Mown around
him. What a pleasing contrast does the conduct of these two'insit
present!
The stain thrown on the annals of our struggle for indispendeace
and freedom from the trammels of despotism by the prouedings of
the one is gloriously erased by the exemplary behaviour of the
other. The enemies of our republican institutions hailed the newt
of the defections of the former with delight; they proclaimed the
impossibility of their duration in a country where *Wilk educa-
tion, Spanish prejudices, Spanish military sway, had prevailed,
their rejoicings have now been stifled ; their forebodings have now
been falsified; sixteen years' experience has demonstrated to us this
incompatibility of any thing Spanish with the prosperity of a
country, and has proved to conviction that the " rieswrispoeibility
of persons in official situations is the bulwark of tyranny and the
grave of freedom."
In tact the project of Pace has completely failed ; not one of the
Commisiiionert despatched by him to the different Authorities in
Venezuela has, we have heard, been received ravaiintbly i on thu
contrary, many of them have proceeded with a Government from
the parties to whom they were sent, either to the tiovernment hero
or to Peru. The most favourable intelligence has been receiveda,
from 31aracaybo, Margarita, Guyana, lirlivekvnal and Carolina.
The contrary faction, ma the Ora hand, studiously diaseshio-
their views. To one party they preach federalism, to the other
they give hopes of numarchy. Ignorant themselves or the
l
object of their wishes, ashamed, or perhaps unable, fa neretwtheir
