VERY LATE FROM BOGOTA.

By the brig Athenian, Captain Chapman, we I sve received 80.
gout parrs and letters to February 11, inclusive. We have also
been permitted to copy front a letter of the Colombian Secretary of
State to the Consulate-General in this city, the following ba.•es of a
constitution, which have been approved by the Congress.
" 1. The integrity of the Republic of Colombia is clntirmed, as
established by the fundamental law (of 11119).

elective.

of a Senate and House of Representatives, whose sets shall receive
the sanction of the executive

" 5. The legislative power shall never be delegated to any person
or corporation.

public, and will necessarily be exercised through the agency of Mi-
nisters Secretaries of State.

portant business of his administration.

deliberate and decide on all municipal and local affairs of the depart-
ments, and to represent to the government whatever may concern
the general interests of the republic.
" Sec. 1. Each department whose population, wealth, and other
circumstances, are sufficient to sustain such an establishment sepa-
rately, with advantage to the public, will have a District Chamber.
" Sec. 2. Each department, which, on account of the smallness
of its population or other causes, cannot sustain such an establish-
ment with public advantage, will be connected for this purpose with
an adjoining department. •
" 11. The periods of election will be prolonged, to avoid the
inconveniences which result from frequent changes in the high
functionaries, or even the repeated election of the same functio-
naries.

" 12. No power or magistrate shall have unlimited authority, or
any other authority than is given by the constitution.
" 13. No power or magistrate shall have authority to suspend
individual security, except in cases specified by the constitution.

The editors, of the Jorirmilef Commerce have been favoured
with the following letters from an intelligent gentleman residing in
the Colombian capital :
BOGOTA, Feb. 7.

0 Our relations With the Cabinets of Great Britain and the United
Sta;tes remain as usual. Relations have also been established with
the government of France, through the agency of Al. Brcsson, the
King's Commissioner, who has just leR this capital, and M. Mar-

tigny, the Consul-General. About the middle of the present month
we expect the the arrival of Senor Souza Diaz, Envoy Extraordinary
from the Emperor of Brasil, and Mr. William Turner, Minister
Plenipotentiary from the King of Great Britain.
" FEB. 13.—Since writing the above, the Government has received
official notice of Actas having been celebrated In Merida and Mara-
caibo, in which the persons interested profess the opinions previously
declared in Canines, and other towns of Old Venezuela.

" In the meantime the bases of the new constitution have been
sanctioned. [See above.] The commission appointed to proceed to
Venezuela, consisting of Gen. Sucre, the Bishop of Santa Martha,
end Senor Garcia del Rio, is to depart in two or three days, and
there is reason to believe that the expedition will not be in vain. It
will at least annihilate the pretext which was alleged for the insur-
rection, and if afterwards the Venezuelans should refuse obedience
to the Government, the latter will have more moral strength
and more justice in proceeding to whatever may then be deemed
expedient." _ _ _
