(EXTRACT Or • LETTER room CARTHAOEXA, DATED I
JULY 28.)
The movements of Peet in l'enezuela have been looked upon 4
Core with the greaten indignation. We are, however, anxiowly
waiting the arrival of the Liberator, when firronews and decision
will soon 'restore tranquillity. None of the other provinma have
pined in this rebellion. •
The utmost tranquillity prevails in every other part of the Re.
public. The credit of the Government, which received so severe
a shock by the failure of Goldsmith. has revived. To this the im.
mediate acceptance of hills to a very large amount, drawn by the
Consul-General in the United States on the Treasury Deptrtment
at Bogota, has greatly contributed, and we understwid that 170,000
dollars are now on their way to this city to meet the payment.

one-third from the pay of the officer,. They have also committed
a great breach of confidence in stopping the payment of the fourth
documents, (certificates receivable for duties,) which event has
created great discontent. Representations against this proceeding

native merchants, though we expert no favourable results from
trove remonstrances. In fact, affairs at thecap.ital appear in great
d 'order. There is no douht that Spanish Influence still mans.
