'Some interesting particulars have been commu-
nicated by an officer who lately airircd at Balti-
more, and who is said to have been three years •
resident in the republic of Columbia, relative to
the condition of the contending armies previous to
:the cessation of the hostilities, from which it is
evident that the cause of the patriots in this quarter
is completely triumphant. It now appears that the
armistice was an act of necessity on the part of
• Month), who was reduced to the greatest extremi-
ties, and was actually indebted to the humanity of
the generous Bolivar for his escape from utter de-
struction. A long list is given of the effective Re-
publican force, amounting to little short of 30,000
-men,, to which was attached a fine park of artillery
and of every necessary munition of war. Add to
this, that in no case was there any thing short of
inilependencethosight 'of by either the President
the Congress, or the army, and the people gene-
rally were everyday giving more unequivocal testi-
mony of their determination never again to submit
to the 3uke of the mother country." In such cir.
curnst•iices, Morillo might thin} it a very fortunate
escape to extricate himself, almost upon any terms,
from so perilous a situation. After the immense
'quantity of blood which bps been shed in this san-
guinary conflict, we cannot but applaud the con-
duct of Bohiar in giving terms to his enemy rather
than crushing him; it displayed a humanity in that
chief which will ever endear him to his co-patriots,
•ud render him worthy of their confidence—of the
policy of aa arrangement by which the influence'of Spain in this extruded district is now entithilated,
it is impossible to admit a doubt.
