REPUBLIC OF COLOMBIA.

Jose A. Paez, superior Chief of Venezuela, &c. to the
Intendant of this Department.
I have the honour to inclose to you a copy of an Act
passed at a meeting held on the 13th of June last,
in the capital of the Republic, in which the In-
tendant of the Department of Cundenamarca, with the
other civil and ecclesiastical authorities, fathers of families,
and respectable proprietors, invested exclusively with
the supreme command of the Republic, his Excellency the
Liberator President, with full powers in all the branches
of the Government, in order that he may organize them
as may appear to hint most generally advantageous—pre-
serving the union of the Republic, securing its indepen-
dence, and re-establishing its credit abroad, at the same time
revoking the power conferred on the Deputies to the Con-
vention from that province. You will also perceive that
this solemn Act was nride known to the Council of Go-
vernment, which, by its communication of the same date,
signifies its approbation of the steps taken; and finally,
that his Excellency, the Liberator President, on the 16th
of the same month, in the capital of Socano, officially an-
nounces that he is resolved to exert his authority and energy
in the service of the State ; a copy or which accompanies
this.

Thus has been sanctioned the uniformly expressed wish
of the people of the three departments under my command,
and their ardent desires are manifested in their petitions,
forwarded by me, that his Excellency the Liberator Pre-
sident should take upon him the supreme command of the
State, preserving the unity of the Republic. I congratu-
late the worthy inhabitants of this department on the happy
accomplishments of their wishes, and may Colombia be
renovated, and obtain under the favourable auspices of its
benefactor, that prosperity and happiness of which it had
been deprived by the former Administration.
Be pleased to make known this praiseworthy act to the
Illustrious Municipality, and to the inhabitants of this pro-
vince,. for their information, giving to its promulgation
the solemnity due to an act as august as it is worthy of
the Colombian people.
(Signed) JOSE ANTONIO PAEZ.
Bead-quarters, Valencia, 13th July, 1828.
It will be seen by an extract of a letter of a later date
from Lag,uayra, that every thing remained peaceable.
Letters have been received from Laguayra this morn-
ing, of the 26th July, by which we are informed Bolivar
had been named Supreme Chief of Venezuela on the 18th
of that month at Caraccas, without the least opposition,
and every thing remained perfectly quiet. The brig
Johannes sailed for Hamburgh on the 18th July. Coffee
7'l to 8 dollars; Cocoa 17 dollars.

A Sincapore Paper of the 10th April has
been received at the North and South American
Coffee-house, its contents arc not important.
The Commander-in-chief of the Naval Forces,
on a late excursion to Tavoy, considered it as a
most desirable naval station. Sir ARCHIE ALD
CAMPBELL returned from Calcutta to Amherst
on the 19th January. The payment of the
third instalment, or balance, of the Burmese In-
demnity was to be made in February. A
Chinese junk had lately arrived at Tavoy
bringing to market 100,000 birds' skims in
feather, which were sold at the high price of
40 dollars per hundred. These curiosities are

used for ornamenting- Chinese dresses of cere-
mony. The ladies so attired would look pretty
birds indeed !

The French Papers give no fresh news from
the theatre of war. Every thing appears at
a stand still till the attack of Shumla is de-
cided one way or other. In the meantime, it is
said that Lord HEYTESBURY succeeds to ad-
miration in humbugging the Emperor of RUSSIA
and all his Councillors. He has sent word to
Vienna that " The Russian Cabinet has repeated
the assurance that it will not make conquests,
and that the EMPEROR has verbally renewed it
to Lord HEYTESBURY. These accounts have
been sent to London' by an Extraordinary Courier."
If this be true, it will prove " glorious news"
for the Duke of WELLINGTON. But his Grace
had better not make too sure. The Russians are
more crafty than the Duke gives them credit for.

The French Funds closed on Tuesday at Five
per Cents. 107 f. 50c. ; Three per Cents. 74f. 20c.

The second part of the French Expedition is
preparing at Toulon with all speed.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

Cogsvls opened this morning at 881} for money and
time. Immediately on this a report was circulated, that
the Dutch steamer had brought Russian Stock one per
cent. lower, which produced a decline in Consols to
88i. The receipt of the Dutch Papers, contradicting
the veracity of this rumour, it being shown by
the Stock List that these Foreign Securities maintained
their prices, except a trifling depression in Danish, the
market had a re-action to 88ii- with the aid of a few good
buyers ; it appears therefore, the attempt was a mere ruse
de guerre to enable certain speculators to frighten their
timid friends out of a little cheap stock, is which they suc-
ceeded. The Commissioners paid 88i; India Bonds are
imprdied from 86 88 to 87 89 pm.; Exchequer Bills

In the Foreign Funds the principal business doing
has been in Colombian Stock, which became much
depressed on the arrival of the New York Pa-
pers, which announced information of a warlike
tendency on the part of Bolivar against Peru, and the
Bonds went down to 22. The alarm was, however, soon
over, from the receipt of letters some days later from this
quarter, which represent every thing perfectly quiet, and
that no opposition was made to the declaration either at the
Caraccas or Valencia, announcing the Liberator as Dic-
tator, and the present quotation is 231.
No notice having been issued by the Brazilian Minister, as
expected, on the reported intention of the payment of the
dividend due on the Portuguese Loan, the Bonds have
fallen half per cent., but without any disposition in the

We learn from Spa, that an attempt has lately
been made to assassinate Dr. GAIADNER, of Bolton-street,
who late in the evening, when passing through the street
was felled by some miscreant by a blow from behind ;
coming to himself, he with difficulty reached home, when it
was discovered he had received a cut through the collar of
his coat from some sharp instrument, the thickness of the
collar having probably preserved his life. The circum-
stance has naturally occasioned a great sensation amongst
the English residents, among whom is the Marquis at
BUTE, and several other persons of rank, who are indefa-
tigable in their exertions to procure the necessary evltince
against the offender. We are happy to add, for the satis-
faction of the friends of Dr.GAIRDNER, that when the
laSt accounts left be was considervl out of danger.

Mr. Adolphus'eontended that if he proved the mur-

sufficient.
