COLOMBIA.

The following article, which is extracted from
a Bogota paper of the 21st of June, throws
some new and interesting light on that military
convulsion which seems to threaten the southern

provinces of Colombia, unless saved from it by
timely energy on the part of Bolivar :
" BOGOTA, JUNE 21.
" The documents we have inserted in this day's
paper, extracted from a pamphlet published by au-
thority in Quito, together with the official commu-
nications to the Government, completely confirm, in
our opinion, what we have all along suspected in
regard to the intentions of the Colombian Division
on disembarking in the South of the Republic. It
seems to us proved, beyond all doubt, that what
commenced in sedition has ended in treason.
" When the news of the deposal of their chiefs
by the troops stationed in Lima first arrived, we
incurred some censure for venturing to express our
distrust of the intentions of such as sought to prove
their obedience to the laws and their abhorrence of

despotic and arbitrary measures, by illegal and un-
constitutional acts. This opinion was strengthened
by the immediate change that was made in the Go-
vernment, after the mutiny of the troops ; and the
fact of money having been distributed among them
by the members of the new Administration did not
Contribute a little to confirm us in our disapproba-
tion of the conduct of the division, and in our fears
that the evil example they bad shown might prove
contagious, and that when released from the Whole-
some discipline and restraint to which they had been
before subjected, they might become as dangerous
to the cause of liberty and independence, by their
licentious behaviour, as they had before manifested
themselves its ardent and courageous defenders.
These apprehensions have been more than realized.
The newly appointed chiefs have allowed themselves
to be seduced by an implacable enemy to the
rising prosperity of Colombia ; and the desire of per..
sonal aggrandizement, or perhaps a baser motive, has
induced them to turn those arms against the Republic
which the latter had placed in their hands to protect

it against foreign aggression. While pretending to
support the Constitution and the laws, and profes-
sing the most implicit obedience to the Government,
they have been putting every spring in motion to
effect the separation of the three Departments of the
South, and their junction with the Republic of Peru;
and the more ready to accomplish their designs,
they have dispossessed of their authority the im-
mediate agents of the Executive power, and evaded
the demand of the Commandant General' of the de-
partments of Guayaquil and Ecuador to place the
division at the orders of the officer who had been
appointed to take its command. Notwithstanding
these acts of open disobedience, they still invariably
maintained themselves to be actuated by nothing but
a desire to rescue the people of the South from
what they termed their oppression, and to support
the Constitution and the laws, which every hour they
daringly infringed. If some persons allowed them-
selves to be deceived by this duplicity, the Intend-
ant and Commandant-General of Ecuador had too
much sagacity not to penetrate their designs, and
too much patriotism not to attempt to subvert them.
AIL' Jar._ once to Act-nand an
explanationi W
or his intentions from Bustamente, and
his adViser, Luiz Lopez Mendez, and on obtaining
an evasive reply, to effect a counterrevolution among
the troops of that part of the division under the
immediate orders of Bustamente, the result of which
was his arrest, together with that of Lopez Mendez,
and several other officers. At the same time, ac-
tive preparations wire made to resist the remainder
of the troops who had left Guayaquil under the or-
ders of Colonel Delgado and General Barreto. The
issue has not yet come to our knowledge.
" A renewal of the disturbances which had so
long afflicted the province of Pastos, has also been
another consequence of the disturbances in the south,
which ensued on the arrival of the division. Whether
it has been the work of some secret emissary of
theirs, with a view to favour their designs, or another

of the attempts of the Peruvian Government to di-
vert our attention from the intrigues in that part of
the republic : to whichsoever of these causes it is
attributable it is certain that the insurrectionary
spirit of the inhabitants of this mountainous district,
which had been with so much difficulty repressed,
has again burst forth, and threatens to involve them
afresh in the calamities from which they had so re-
cently escaped.
" Thus it appears that Colombia, after having for
some time attracted the consideration of the other
nations by the tranquillity with which she pur-
sued her march towards the prosperity that ba-
mense natural resources promised her, has within
the space of one short twelvemonth, not only lost
the brilliant reputation she had acquired, but dis-
covered to the world such seeds of future commo-
tions, as almost to make the most sanguine despair
of the speedy restoration of tranquillity. So long
as the disturbances of the republic were confined
purely to a real or affected desire to promote its
welfare, and no suspicions were entertained that
foreign influence was at work, our hopes were
always kept alive by the reflection that the patriotism
of all was undoubted; and that although occasional
deviations from principle, for the sake of interest,
might be discovered, the determination of every one
to sacrifice himself for the existence of the republic
was firm and unalterable. Now it is different. The
late occurrences in the south have shown that our
army can be corrupted, that the flame of patriotism
does not burn pure and unsullied in the breasts of
all, and that the good faith and benevolence which
we had fondly hoped would characterize the different
governm'ents of the new Americau States, has failed
to distinguish that one from which we had most
right to expect it, if it were only on the score of
gratitude for the immense benefits conferred upon
'eru. Still we are not without hopes that the dis-
affection and dishonourable conduct we lament has
not extended beyond a few of the
Chiefs; and that
the stain which has been cast on the glory of the
Colombian name may eventually prove to have fixed
itself but on a few, whom a paltry love of gain or
• inordinate ambition has induced to deviate from the
strict line of their duty, and postpone the good of
their country'to their own personal views and in-
terests."

LONDON,
'ATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8, 18e7.

Br the Gazette of last night, it will be seen

:hat the appointment of the Lords constituting

Le Treasury Board, is officially announced. Lord

LEVESON GOWER retires.

The appointment of the Right Honourable

CHARLES GRANT, as Treasurer of the Navy,
is also Gazetted. Mr. WlLmorr HORTON will,

is said, succeed Mr. GRANT as Vice-Presi

dent of the Board of Trade.

In another column eve have given extracts from
the Paris Paper:- of Wednesday, and the Gazette
de France of 1 hursday. It would appear, by

the last accounts from Constantinople, that the
SULTAN was disposed to resort to harsh measures
'against the Ambassadors of Ragland, France, and
Russia, if they dared to present the Convention
entered into by their respective Courts for the
pacification of Greece. The threat of his
Sublime 'MAJESTY extended to the committal
of the Ambassadors to the Seven Towers, and
it is insinuated that the dread of this outrage

had induced Mr. STRATFORD CANNING,
who had received his copy of the Treaty,
not to present it until the French Ambas-
sador should receive his also, when the three
would act simultaneously, and so mitigate the
rage of the SULTAN by their combined strength.
This conduct is not only prudent but necessary,
for unity of action will give greater force to their
remonstrance, and may be the means of their
attaining the desired end without having recourse

to more energetic measures. We have no doubt
that the SULTAN will bluster a good deal at first
on the official receipt of a document so humi-
liating to his pride—and he may even pretend to
revive the summary mode of vengeance and inti-
midation so frequently resorted to by his more
passionate yet 'Jess politic predecessors—but we
are much mistaken if he will dare to carry such
a threat into execution against the Representa-
tives of the three most powerful nations on the
earth. Imprison three Ambassadors from Eng-
land, France, and Russia! the thing is prepos-
terous. The SULTAN is a man of great firmness
of character, absolute daring, and personal intre-
pidity ; he has effected mighty changes at home ;
but he knows that by offering an insult of such
extremity to these Ambassadors, he would be
provoking

sonal safety whispers forbearance ; but should the

OTTOMAN so far forget himself as to carry his
threat into execution, he will repent his frenzy
when the exercise of reason can only aggravate
his remorse by the assurance that he has too
irretrievably sealed his destiny.

Frankfort Papers to the 2d inst. have been
received
this morning, but they are rather barren
of news. The following are the only extracts

worth giving :

VIENNA, AUG, 26.

This morning the sentence passed on Sererin Jarovinsky,
the murderer of the venerable Abbe Plank, which is to be
carried into execution on Thursday, was read to him in the
tribunal of this city ; he chewed great firmness. The con-
course of people was very great.

terskirchen, near Baden, and has today received the sacra-

NITREMBURQ, A. irc. 29.

His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg
Strelite arrived here the day before yesterday, on his'way
to the castle of Taxis, to pay a,visit to his sister the Prin-
cess Dowager of Tour and Taxis.

Letters from Malta of the 23d of July, state
that considerable dissatisfaction was expressed at
the want of convoy and detention experienced
at that port of vessels putting in for protection, •
bound to the eastward. The masters of five
'English vessels have entered their protest against
the owners and underwriters, for all damages or
losses which may arise from their proceeding in
the' prosecution of their voyage without convoy.
The ships in question sailed on the 19th,
under the protection of his Majesty's corvette
Hecla, in company with them. His Excellency
Vice-Admiral Sir E. CODRINGTON had sig-
nified to the masters of vessels bound to the
eastward, that for the future such as do not wish
to remain in the port of Malta, till a convoy
appointed, had better proceed to Zante, when
one of his Majesty's ships will he instructed to
protect them as far as Cervi, where they will be
taken up by another to their destination.

The happy adjustment of the Ministry has
put poor COBBETT almost out of his wits. In
his Register of this morning he is quite furious
that his prophetic ravings have not been fal.f.iled.
He has once more appealed to his old friends,

the Radicals, for affectionate sympathy in their
common calamity. He is quite in a rage at all
that has taken. place. He abuses every one—
and puffs off his own inconsistency with
amusing complacency. Next week he pro-
mises to outdo the falsehoods and folly of the
last—but if w: may judge from the Gpecinaen
before us, even he will find it a difficult task.
When he has doialibelling others; we hope he will
perform an act f justice, and speak the truth
of himself. Mat one word stamped on his
character woulo cover a multitude of sins.

(From the Afereapatiit Advertiser, August 8.)
By letters from Carthegma, of the 12th July, we learn
that Bolivar was to depart For Bogota, on the.lsth or 16th,
with a regiment of Tiradores, aboutl,2oo strong; fir these
troops he is said to a great predilection. Thy have

troops ;in this place, including the garrison, were 3,700:

These Papers conr.in long accounts of the extretna heat
in the United States, which had burnt up and parched nil the
pastures and gardenN, and from which much ineonvethente
was felt. They recite several deaths, occasioned by the
incautious conduct of the parties drinking cold water
whilst in a state of perspiration.

By arrivals from Natchit.mhes of the Sd of July, it ap-
pears that a body of eighty men had been enlisted in
New Orleans, for the ostensible purpose of aunreying a
grant of land from the Mexicans, to some English
gentlemen. They ascended the Oudoute River ; when
in the neighbourhood of the Red River, muskets, swords,
and knives, were placed in. their hands, and the band as-
sumed a warlike aspect, under 'the command of a man
named Legrand (said to be of Maryland). Their
movements are mysterious, end conjectures are aenat that
they expect tl'e assistance cf the Chmkees, and wilt =lc
a descent on the fortress of Nacogdcchts ; the party. is
composed of alt nations,--among others Abaericaus,
and fear is entertained that this circumstance will cause the
Mexicans to have unpleasant feelinge, it being acknowledged
they had treated travellers and others with the utmost
hospitality, and offered every assistance.
