AMERICAN PAPERS.

• (From the New Fork DUI& Advertiser, Oct. 22.)
• COLOMBIA.—Some late Bogota papers,-for which
we are indebted to a friend, have been lying
by us for several days ; but the crowd of advertise-
ments has prevented us from noticing their contents
before, although they are of no. inconsiderable in-
terest.,

A decree of Bolivar's was published on the 10th
August, for the increase, of the army, on.a pretext of
danger from a Spanish expedition, preparations for
which, 'he states, had been positively ascertained to
14makin-at Havannah, with a .probable intention
ugkitit.
,colombia. The. decree orders,.. 'that the
bf the Republic shall he raised to! the footing
'of 40,00, men, 10,000 of them are to .be distributed
in the southern district, 10,000 of' them in. that of
Magdalena, 10,000 in that of the north, and 10,000
in the central departments. The national militia is
to be orgaukied, co as. to be equal, or even superior
in power ; great care is recommended to the officers,
in the performance of the particular orders which
tfley have received; and the decree of the late Con-
gress is suspended, which limited, the army to 9,950
men.

It is evid,ent that this arrangement is not made
►olely for the.pprposeof preparing against a Spanish
invasion, for one quarter of ,it is assigned to the
southern department, where nothing is likely to oc-
eur.nriless Ivith Peru. The delay, however, which
appears to liawe taken place with regard, to the ex-
pected operations in that quarter,, leads us to hope
that Bolivar is not so lost to his own honour, and to

:he 'general interest of
.Soutil America and the cause

of republicanism, as to embroil two sister states.
Since we have been furnished by these papers with
.more particulars relatir!g to the disturbances in Bo-
livia, of May.last,.and find more reasons to believe
-,tN4,,thea qto,i/05-4imr4-, of „AR oru ,aticb94 ad thq inv4.,
. .ion of tbaLeountry by General 'Gamarra, Bolivar's
prticlaination. Of war appears with a palliation
(though still highly unjustifiable), which we were
not before aware a We feared that Bolivar was
about, to make the first aggression, and that his as-
signed reasons were, unfounded, An aggression bad,
kowever, previously been made by a Peruvian officer
against :Bolivar, and that without good rea- 1
son, and, we believe, without a good intention.
General Gamarra, .on,yrossing the boundary. of that
couctry,,declared that he came for two objects—to
deliver the President, General Sucre, from constraint
and the fear of assassination, and to relieve the peo-
ple from those who threatened anarchy. Sucre,
being ill of a wound, resigned the government into
their bands, with arrangements for an active defence,
and: then wrote Gamarra a letter, which presents a
singular mixture of. against his designs, and
friendship for himself. lie rejects the proposition
pf submitting the country to A foreign force, declares
tha ,kris reasons for theinvasion are unfounded, pro-
tests agaizst: the principle of a foreign interference,
as that of the Monarchical foreign alliance, and de-
clares his deterniinatiqn to retire from public life to
'spend his days at.. Quito. We cannot speak in too
high terms of his decision on the former point.
The-principle of interference is,perbaps by him pre-

747ccording to our latest accounts,
.the Bolivians
had, delivered their .oil from the Peruvian troops;
and we presume Sucre hr., put his design into exe-
cution.. If Bolivar feels one italf the opposition from
the principle of armed interferenca which Sucre has
.professed, Peru is safe against him.
A new article of commerce is noticed in our re-

view of the market. Upwards of 300 barrels of
Maple sugar have been received by the canal, which
has been-sold at five cents a pound. Last season,
we understand, a parcel of about 70 barrels was re-
ceived. It is supposed the manufacture of this ar-
ticle will increase, and that it will soon be one of
considerable. importance. The supplies of sugars
I.Forn New Orleans have already increased to such
4,la*Unt that they are rapidly taking the place of
inigars, and, it is supposed by many intelli-
rgitt-p Neret,:ns that in a very tew years the supplies
Or'-ans and elsewhere will be.suilithent
for the consujnptic,s, and that no foreign sugar
be requi&d. •, . •
