COLOMBIA. •

The papers received from Bogota to the end of Septem-
ber show that the occupation of the provinces of Memos
and Chiquitos, belonging to Peru, by Brazilian troops, was
known in the Colombian capital. The Government of
Peru were preparing to detnand explanatione, from the
Emperor on so it regular a proceeding, " without prejudice
to the means required to hinder the progress of the occupa-
tion." As we know, however, that the Brazilian Govern-
ment took the promptest measures, without waiting for the
demand of the Peruvians, to withdraw its troops, and to
disavow the piocceding, the necessity for any remonstrance
must have et. 35141.

The news respecting the siege of Calla') was to the Bth
of 'July. These accounts scsscrt that famine existed in
the castle, and that the garrison was supposed to lose on au
avetage ten men per day, by disease, execution, and de-
sertion. On the 7th July two boats deserted to the na-
tional frigate Protector, with ten men.

The Bogota Ginelte publishes an offer matle by Reid,
Irvine and Co., Fairlie, Bonham, and Co., and Captain
E. S. Cochrane, for notating the mines of Darien, at Santa
Cruz, in the Isthmus.

The following is the letter of General Sucee, to which
we referred yesterday. It will he seen that the place
whence the letter is dated (Chuquisaca) is in the province
of Charzas, one' of those districts which have been con-
sidered sometimes as part of the United Provinces of La
Plata, sometimes as attached to Upper Peru, and which
were lately occupied by (lateral Olaneta. As General
Sucre no where speaks of any enemy existing in Upper
Peru, it is probable that the accounts previously received
of the destruction of Ohtneta and the remains of his force,
have been correct. The province of Charcas was the place
where the declaration of South American independence
took place. 'There also the war for its establishment seems
to have ended.

This enterprise, which Colombia charged herself with only so fir

marching gloriuosly under the auspices of liberty. Since m:e last

Every• thing proceeds in peace and order. I entered this city the
25th ult. and found this district eminently patriotic; the firstborn
of the American Revolution lit.s shown sentiments of sincere grail.

by the inhabitants with love and respect, and 1 believe them tor.
