Zxtract of a Letter from General Bolivar, President of Co-
lumbia, dated San Liar istubal, (Valle de Canita,) May 26,
182 n.

`• Affairs, both internal and external, are proceeding in con-
formity with our best wishes. The former are on an admirable
fuotirig. r can assure you, that in co. sequence of the system
which I bare adopted it will be extremely difficult for the
enemy to obtain ally advantage over us. Morino alone has
any force, arid him I hold itt inaction by my manceuvres,
while we are taking all the provinces of Old and New Gra-
nada and Quito. In the course of this rear you trill sue
all. Columbia liberated, if sonic caprice of fortune does not
frustrate my enterprises. I have two offensive armies. The
one marches to Quito, and the other is invading at once the
provinces of Cart hagena, of Santa Martha, and Maracaybo.
23-wring this winter we shall obtain possession Of these pro.
4-ioces, and in the spring I shall surround Moritlo with im-
tuense troops. Under• my present command I have 4,900 re-
/Naps, and as many more• raw troops. If Murillo desires an
engagement, he will meet with ate, and I shall destroy hint;
soot if he waits for me, his ruin is inevitable. • In these few
wends I leave said et•ery thing that is necessary." * *

Eztraet of a Letter, dated Port of Spain, (Trinidad,) July 25.
The foregoinge will give yon the latest accounts front Ge-
neral Bolivar s' head-quarters. Of the operation of the Procla-
mation of the King of Spain on t he spirit of the South Ameri-
cans. it may be said, non fregit, sed ererit.".rhe govern-
ing Junta of Madrid did not know where to stop when they
wrote that Proclaniatiriu„ Threati have bten so long beld
in contempt on this side the water, that they merely excite
irritation, and tend to delay the only reconciliation Sprain can
hope for, on eicknowli-dging the independence of count ries she
cannot conquer. The Colu mbians have rejoiced at the freedom of
the Spanish. people; but they arc determined to be no longer
1-aveS' to their European brethren, but to govern themselves
with-absolute national independence; and upon this basis
alone will they treat. An regard to Spain, s friends in peace,
and enemies in war,' is their motto.
" Of I lie internal tranquillity of those parts of Venezuela
