Grand National Convention shall be assembled. Bolivar then i
left Maracaibo, and, after crossing the lake, embarked in a I
schooner, and landed at Puerto Cabello on the 31st of December.
On the following day 'he issued a proclamation, which is very
short and pithy, decreeing a general amnesty to all persons engaged
in the revolt of Gen. Paez, and appointing him (Paez) superior
Chief of Venezuela, and a Gen. Marino (a great rascal) to the In-
tendancy and military command of the province of Maturin, for-
merly Cu 'liana. Shortly after this,- Paez, by Bantlo, acknow-
ledged Bolivar his superior, and ordered all others to do the same.
He also rescinded the proclamation by which Venezuela was de-
clared independent. After the investment of Puerto Cabello, the
regular troops fell off very much from Paez, and he was left with
one regiment, a few cavalry, and a mass of lancers and militia-
men, risen from the plains (Llaneros.) I hear Paez invited Bolivar
to come to him at Puerto Cabello, which he declined. Bolivar
then went to meet him, attended simply by his Aid-de-Camp ;
and, finally, he entered Caraccas in the same carriage with Pan,
amidst unbounded acclamation ; and enthusiasm has been at its
height ; and, from all I hear, his treatment has been much like
Blucher's, in London, in 1815. He always has Paez with him,
and, on all public occasions., eulogizes him to the skies. But he
has him to live in the same house with him, so that there are two
Courts under the same roof. Paez, I am told, is most perfectly
happy, and I presume will eventually become the complete tool of
Bolivar; or, if not, the President will watch his opportunity, and
upsat him. In all the fetes and fooleries that have been going on,
Bolivar has bowed to the people implicitly. A Nymph entered, and
presented a palm and a crown to him : they were thrown to the
mobility, as meriting them ; and, by and by, you will find he will
lead them into his Bolivian shackles, provided in his Code of Laws.
On one occasion a number of flags were presented to him, in-
scribed with the cardinal virtues. Glory, he said, belonged to
Great Britain, as having the greatest right to it; bravery he gave
to Paez ; Integrity he reserved for Mendoza, who is in exile by
Paez's order. England and the English he has been profuse in
his compliments to. lam told he is a very fluent and excellent
speaker. I shall see him, I hope, in a day or to. He is certainly
(more particularly for this country) a very extraordinary man—
as subtle as Buonaparte—full of activity and courage—and by-
out means or other he will contrive to rule this country. He was
very coolly received at Bogota, and he abused them in no mea-
sured terms. He told the Authorities that, with the exception of
Santander, they had all acted ill during his absence; and he was
most particularly indignant that the interest of the loans had not
been paid, and the public credit maintained. II purpose staying
here for a fortnight. Our friend
company with Bolivar : he is completely bitten by him. For my-
self, I have not yet come within the influence of his magic. His
talents, no doubt, are great; but that he intends to be perpetual
President, and to name his successor, there can be no doubt at all ;
and I dare say he would administer well ; but the principle is not
very democratical.

Madrid. Gazettes to the 7th March have arrived by
express, but they do not contain any news of import-
ance. The Inspector-General of the Royal Volun-
teers of Spain has addressed FERDINAND on the 20th
February, saying, that the battalion of Heseucia offer
their services to any part of the Spanish frontiers,
should it be the intention of the Portuguese troops to
attack S

lam.
