lity.toits inhabitants. General Paez left Caraceas on the
4th June, at night,. in great haste, having been sent for by
express from Valencia, to quiet the disturbances
which had broken out amongst the troops.—
Business was dull at Caraccas—no money in circulation,
and those who owed money would, or could not pay their
debts. The El Columbiana published a letter from General
Paez to Bolivar, explanatory of the coure he has pursued,
which is very different from that which we published on
Saturday, although, it is presumed, both from the same
text. The letter published on Saturday was circulated to
give the character of General Paez, as to patriotism and
good policy, if not good sense, a very unfavourable cast,
while a letter 'published in The Colombiana (it appears to
us) wilt have an opposite effect. The Editor of The
Colombiana says, in speaking of this letter, that those on
the spot little need the evidence therein furnished to satisfy
them how imperious have been the circumstances tinder
which General Paei has acted. There is not, lie says,
to be found in Venezuela one man, feeling like a man,
and Who dare avow it, that will not agree with the Gene-
ral in saying, that the dark policy of Administration has
inspired general mistrust of all that comes from Bogota,
and the Editor names the following :

The door of justice has been closed on the distant,
needy, and uubefriended suitor; those concessions, which
after many years of importunity have been wrung from jus-
tice one day, have with inexcusable. weakness, or some-
thing worse, been recalled on the next, on some miserable
sophistry, at the instigation of personal influence and
intrigue. Deeisions in the High Courts of Justice in
Bogota have been surreptitionsly withheld since Decem-
ber last, inasmuch ,that there is not an humble and unbe-
friended individual i►t Venezuela, having had transactions
with Bogota, who could not produce a similar one.—
In Bogota itself the facts are as well known as
here. Can such a state' of things then continue ? Do
they not rather prove, what all Venezuela can confirm,
that General Paez is strictly justified in asserting, that it
is to his moderation and energy alone that the explosion
has not taken place long, since. We are staunch advo-
cates for the preservation of the Union with Bogota, but
we desire in her a confederate, not a ruler; we insist on
equality, and a system that shall ensure the people their
tights, be they in or out of office, near the administration,
or distant from it, rich or poor, humble or pampered—in
short we desire, as we have already stated, a federation
of the States, being the only change, that in ou.r opinion,
can be effected with safety to the integrity of the union.
Among the Decrees passed to the Executive Power
by the Congress at Bogota, we observe the following,
directing the Executive to conciliate the differences be-
tween the Republic and the House of Goldsehmidt.

If we may believe the accounts in the French Pa-
pers from Madrid, it would seem that the Cabinet of
FERDINAND feels great apprehension from the conse-
quences of the new Constitution to be given to Portu-
gal. It is said, that the Duke del INFANTADO, on
hearing of it, and of the amnesty granted to the Por-
, tuguese, exclaimed, " A great portion of the nation
will do well to refuse the pernicious present of a young
Prince without experience, and who is not acquainted
with the great ideas of the Cabinets of Europe. ' Im-
mediately afterwards every engine was set to work to
carry on intrigues at Lisbon ; and every effort was
made to persuade the Regency of Portugal, that it
ought to make representations on this subject to the
Emperor, and prevent the admission of the Constitu-
tion. The same paper adds, that the affairs of Spain
are approaching a great crisis : but that whatever
happens in that Country 4, the Portuguese will be
Constitutional : it is no longer a popular revolution.
" The Constitution comes ab alto, it is legitimacy that
4, gives it !"

Reports were in circulation yesterday of the arrival
01E.Falmouth of his Majesty's ship Tweed, having on
board remittances. for the payment of the Mexican
Dividends, but no account of her arrival has been re•
ceived to-day.

The accounts of distress from all quarters where
our manufactures heretofore throve most luxuriantly,
continue to be of a very afflicting nature : but in the
gloomy horizon which encircles these districts—and
which resembles, we would fain hope, more the heavy
sky which suceeeds a storm, than the lowering of ano-
ther tempest, we think we perceive a distant opening
small patch of blue sky—
whichindicates returning
lair weather—and may perchance bring on another
season of abundance and prosperity.. It appears from
the concurring testimony of various accounts, that the
manufacturing interests of foreign countries have suf-
fared in preCisely the same manner as 'those of our
own ; and that, as might have been expected from
those countries possessing less capital than ottrs, and
consequently becoming sooner exhausted, the effects
of their embarrassments have been even more fatal
than those which we have experienced ; so much
so, indeed, that the abandonmout of their manufac-
tories has in many places been rendered abso-
lutely unavoidable. In the articles of cotton ma-
nufacture, the competition of the United States was
most to be dreaded,---but such has been the recent
distress of this branch of trade, that we find the greater
number of manufactories established in Rhode Island,
and other parts of the Union, are on the point of
being abandoned,--and a similar course in be expect-
ed to be followed by many other manufactories in
different parts of Europe, from the inability of their
owners to work them with advantage. The necessary
consequence of such events will he the re-employment
of our own Manufacturers, and the restoration of these
branches of Commerce to the channels, from which
they may have been partially diverted by the attempts
of other Nations to rival us in productions, for which
our Capital and Machinery had rendered us*pre-erninent.
In this circumstance we see the gliminering of a new
day of manufacturing greatness for this country . and
although we must not conceal from our w
. tim
inevitable existence of distress e
for a considerable
period, from the combination of various circumstances,
still if a rational hope hmightens even the distant pros-
' pect of our Manufacturers, it will act as a fresh sti-
mulus to their patient endurance of the distress which
may press upon them in the intervening period, and
encourage them to maintain their estabhshments and
people in readiness for a season of renewed activity.
he present peaceful disposition of the most dis-
tressed districts affbrds a reasonable expectation that
the unemployed workmen will not be led into any
excesses destructive of their future means of employ-
ment, and the failure of the attempts of the wicked
Emissaries who have endeavoured to instigate them to
Acts of riot, is at once gratifying to tEe lovers of
order, and creditable to the suffering objects of their
vile designs.
