BOLI VAR.

Strange as it may appear, vte have !Ir.
yet no authentic connected account of the PI
vate and personal history of a man who has OA
few equals in modern times, whether we regard
his great skill and valour in the field, or hig
acuteness, tact, and wisdom in the Senate. l3°C
now that the din of arms has ceased, wietras,•_
this desideratum will soon be supplied; and9l:'
the meantime, we may mention a fact %ell
seems to have escaped the notice of all his 11:5°
graphers. While living in Kingston, he apPhe

tactics ; and though absent—unwillingly
—for a time, from the scene of action, was Cl'
stantly employed in committing to paper t"6
plans of battles, which he afterwards so succe99,
fully reduced to practice. In particUlar,he eagerlr
embraced every opportunity of watching the al;
nceuvres of the troops about Kingston; and Oct, ,
was his enthusiasm and mental abstraction, t
he was frequently seen standing in the front of
line, unconsciously acting the part of a faeletlia°'
This circumstance, together with his constants i
peara n ce on the drill-ground, naturally attracie _
the attention of the Commanding-officer, wt.'.
having learnt the character and quality of t""
stranger, very obligingly ordered his men to re;

which Bolivar took the greatest interest. Sif'f.t,

ledge; and when Morillo next met him i° ct
field, he found he had a new enemy to coatft',
with, and the Liberator is candid enough t° tii
cribe much of his subsequent good fortune t°
accidental visit to Jamaica. Though it wits
wish to preserve the strictest incognito, he
ceived attentions from all who value the braii
assertors of a righteous cause, and that', t°°,
defiance of the feelings of the constituted aututle-r,
ties, who, at the period of time to which we ref
were any thing but friendly to the rising fiber
of the American States. On leaving La Lit'aJrsj,
Bolivar was dressed in the uniform of a geneb,.
and wore enormously large mustachios; but lit
fore he had been many hours at sea, he clive="s
his face wholly of hair, and ()legged himself °re
suit of plain clothes—a proceeding which PO;
()need such a change in his appearance, that
wondering sailors entertained doubt as to 1,1i5 Pte
sonal identity. In fact, their feelings of adtfiliiit
tion had so far subsided, that on landing 'l"titi
passengers safely at Kingston, a quick-v/1
