they are to govern. Their reign must be short, and is
even now perhaps apPrOaching to an end. The battalions
of Callao, under Colonel Ximenes, with the people of the
plains formed into cavalry, under Colonel Johnston, had
closely invested Bogota, and cut off all communication.
The last post bee been detained. AU the dep trtments of
Boyaca have declared fur the Liberator. This department
is now doing the same. He is called upon to take the
command of the army, and save the country from ruin.
The reaction in Venezuela is spreading fast.
CA ATHA arNA SP rr. B.—. The Bogota post has ar-
rived, bringing accounts of the total defeat of the Liberals.
They lust in the action on the 27th ult., fought near Bogota,
170 men killed, 100 wounded, and b7O prisoners ; among
them 40 officers, 700 stand of arms, two pieces of can-
non, and all their ammunition. The party of Bolivar only
lost 20 men, and on the 28th entered Bogota in triumph.
The President and Vice-President retnaitt in office. The
new Ministers are to be—Urdineta at the head of the
War Department; Vorgara, the Home Department; and
Dr. Pedro Garel to be Minister of Foreign Affairs. The
Minister of Finance had not been named. The principal
Liberals, the two Arubas, two Mentoyas, Dr. Azuero, and
Jose Marques, the Editors of the Aurora and Democrat
newspapers, Colonel Vargas, &c. &c. have been ordered to
leave the country. _ .

Abstract of the declaration of the garrison of the
capital of the Magdalena:—

" let. The communication with the capital is cut off
by the surrounding military.
" 2d. News from Honda, Venezuela„ and Socorro,
strongly manifests the spirit prevailing in the Republic.
" 3d. It is probable the remaining provinces of Boyaca
will immediately follow.
" 4th. The military seem disposed to acquiesce in the
wishes of the people.
" sth. The Wishes of the battalion of Callao, and of the
capital and its vicinity, are gratified by the conduct of the
Ministry.
" 6th. The Ministry have openly violated the Consti-
tutional Code.

" 7th. The Governor is surrounded by this faction, and
cannot act freely or far the public good.
" Bth. The Ministry has become hateful to the army
by their unconstitutional acts."
It was then discussed, whether orders directed
by the Ministry ought to be obeyed. In conclusion,
at the suggestion of Colonel PENERIig, a deputa-
tion was appointed to wait on the Liberator, to re-
quest him to take the command of the army.

We regret to find Sir R. PEEL, whose judicious
law reforms, and quick, ready habits of business
have been, and still are, of such benefit to the
country, opposing a motion like that made by Mr.
HARVEY last night, to the effect—" That every
Member of the House of Commons do forthwith
make a return to the Speaker, stating the place he
represents; and where his return is for a city
or a borough, to state the number of citizens or
burgesses who have a right to vote, so far as he
shall be able to do; whether they be all or partially
and in what proportion resident, Sze If the-
House of Commons be so perfect a representation
of the people as the Duke of WELLINGTON would
seem to imply; if there be really no necessity for
reform, surely a motion like that brought forward
by Mr. HARVEY would be the very one to
bear out the Duke's assertions, and strengthen the
hands of Government ! If the representative sys-
tem be to perfect ns we are taught to suppose it is,
what possible harm can Mr. HARVEY'S motion do ?
It can be of detrinient only to a corrupt House of
Commons; to the present one, which his Grace
seems absolutely to idolize, it must be productive of
the greatest possible benefit, as tending still further
to convince a sceptical public of the excellence and
purity of its representative system. We regret: for
the sake of Ministers, that they have lost so fine an op-
' portunity of establishing the utter inutility and need-
lessness of Reform. With regard to Sir R. PEEL'S ob-
servations on the state of the country, and his hints
that nothing at present is in contemplation to relieve
its distresses, we cannot but think that they are ill-
judged and inconsistent. His MAJESTY'S Speech
declares that a system of the most rigid economy
'will be acted on, . thereby implying that the
times are such us to require severe retrenchment ;
Sir ROBERT'S assertions, on the contrary, tend to
prove that the country, if not flourishing, is not dis-
tressed, and that therefore he is prepared with no
express proposition as.regerds retrenchment. Surely
there is a slight discrepancy here ! While on this
subject we cannot refrain from entering our protest
against the very extraordinary—we use the mildest
term—observations of Mr. BAKING. They are
just such as might have been expected from a
man who seems determined not to see, at any
rate not to recognize, the eventful signs of
the times. Mr. Humes remarks were intelligent
and spirited, and Mr. HonnousE spoke but the strict
literal truth when he talked of the depressing effect
that the Duke of WELLINGTON'S declaration against
Reform had produced on the public mind. On all
these points there is an admirable article in the
Chronicle of this day, which we specially recommend
to Mr. BARING'S attention.—lt will be found in ano-
ther part of our Paper.

It is said that great part of the furniture in
Windsor Castle was collected on the Continent for his late
Majesty Oroacte IV. by his French confectioner and a
French upholsterer, at a ceot of n-arly 200,000/. ; and
that some demur has been made to the amountof their
bill. We hear that one sideboard alone wet charged
80001., and that it was " so massive, gaudy, awl taste-
less," that his late MAJISTY ordered it out of his flight as
soon as it was unpacked.
