BOLIVAR:

The following curious and characteristic let-
ter was addressed to the Senate by the Liberator,
on receiving during his mareh to the capital the
Decree for reducing the army
CACIIIRA, Ana. 24, 1827.
TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE. _
MOST EXCELLENT SIR—In my progress to
the Capital, with such speed at the rainy season,
the wretched state of the roads and of my health
permit, I received at this place two communi-
cations from the office of the Secretary at War,
the one inclosing the Decree of the Bth inst.,
reducing the permanent force of the Republic
to within ten thousand men—the other handing
me copies of various documents relative to the
new insurrection of Guayaquil, from whence it
appears that the Federal system was about to
be proclaimed there—that great exertions were
making to increase the number of the partizans
of this system—that the department of the
Equator were sending Deputies—and that Asuay
would probably adopt a similar course.
On receipt of these two communications, I
could not fail to compare them one with the
other, and both with the state of the Republic..
A division of the army in Lima had mutinied
against its commanders—trampled upon the 'laws
—and, in base collusion with the foreign enemy,
attempted the dismemberment of the Republic.
Foiled in their insidious designs, they proclaim
a federal form of Government, and gain ovci to
their project a party of men in Guayaquil, who
had for some time expressed their desires for this
form of Government, and whom I endea-
voured to satisfy by a project of law, which had
previously been successfully tried in .-Bolivia and
which would have given them and ourselves a
central government, better calculated to meet our
wants and necessities. But the federation now
proclaimed is nothing less than a deliberate ac-
quiescence in the traitorous projects of those who
have openly invaded these Departments ; and 'in
this very crisis, the news gains ground that the
enemy are assembling troops in the Canaries to
make a descent upon our coasts—men's minds
are in agitation—public morality is shaken—
public opinion is tampered with—and the safety
of the Republic is in imminent peril.
At such a moment, when we are so imperi-
ously called upon to provide against foreign hos-
tility and domestic dissensions—at such a mo-
ment the army is ordered to be reduced to a
number that would not be sufficient in a time of
profound peace. Surely Congress must have
keen greatly misinformed on the state of the
Republic ; and although the capital is distracted
by opposing factions, and the representatives of
the people are exposed to the most cruel alarms, •
our situation must have been considered as a •
model of political prosperity. Certainly the De-
cree fully justifies this conclusion.
In making the communication of this Decree,
it is suggested, on the part of the Vice-Presi-
dent,
that it will be most convenient to reduce
the two battalions and two squadrons which,
hearing of the proceedings in the South, I as-
sembled at Carthagena, and have marched into
the interior. These are precisely the troops who,
in these times of faction and of crime, have re-
mained faithful to the Constitution, and who
have been its shield and buckler ; they are a
body of distinguished veterans. The conveni-
ence of this measure is said to arise from the
poverty of the Treasury. Because the Treasury •
is exhausted, the Republic is to remain without
defence, or delivered up in 'charge to those who,
!lave brought it to it. r.e.a.it of bumai.sion
I will not stop to consider by what delusions
Congress has been brought to sanction a decree
which is the seal of our ruin—nor will I add a
single word on the subject of the monstrous its..
consistency of the two communications, recitlved
on the same day—nor on the proposal to dis-
solve. a body of men, of long tried fidelity, at a •
period when dangers are accumulating, for the
purpose of entrusting the preservation of the '
rights of the nation to raw inexperienced levies—
or to troops who have thought to recommend
themselves by setting an example of flagrant dis-
obedience. But I will not disguise the fact, that
the Republic is near its dissolution—or, to
speak in plainer terms, is already. dissolved—and
that the reduction of the army will render the
remedy impossible. A cry for reform is heard on
every side—and if, in some parts, the anxiety
and agitation of the public mind have been tran-
quillized by the hopes inspired by the National
Convention, still every day discovers the difficul-
ties of our position. It cannot for a moment be
conceived that Congress participates in the atro-
cious wish of those who desire to see the anni-
hilation of Colombia ; nevertheless I am per-
suaded that the measures they have recommended
as salutary can have no other effect than that
of accomplishing this wish.
The reduction of the army, I repeat it, must
lead us inevitably to ruin. The army should be
increased instead of diminished, and our finances
reformed. If neither the one nor the other be
permitted—if the executive withhold the only
means of effecting the salvation of the country, I
will never undertake the Presidency. It shall
never be the fate of him, who has grown old in
aiving life and laws to Colombia, to preside at
Fier obsequies, or deliver up her mangled limbs
to the foes she has either conquered or set free.
(Signed) SIMON BOLIVAR.

PARIS, DEC. 10.—A very extraordinary and
indecorous scene took place at the Tuileries yestertgy, in
the presence.chamber of the Dauphin. 31. de VILLEI::
And the Duke de FITZJAMES were conversing together,
when, all of a sudden, the latter, raising his voice so as to
be heard by all present, exclaimed Cost faux (that is fUse)
-11. DE VlLLELE—c'est faux. Some of the bystanders
,rnmediately hastened, as it would appear, to convey a
knowledge of ti►e circumstance to the Ktwo. An order
speedily arrived for M. DK Vit.r.rut and the Duke de
FITZSAMES to repair to his Majesty's closet. The people
in and about the Palace are, it is said, beginning to mur-
mur, and not in very low or measured tones, at the obsti-
nacy of the Minister in holding to his place, and thereby
completely compromising the popularity of the KING.
TUNBRIDGE WELLS.—The chill hand of
winter has dismantled our• woods, and the sturdy king of
the forest stands in marked majesty. Still this charming
country continues romantically beautiful; and we can with
truth say of it, that the beauty of the leaf often hides other
Imuties, which show themselves in rocky grandeur when
tl►at falls, which is in more harmonic keeping with the
picture this season of the year presents—in which by the
way there is much that is green to delight the eye. J The
furze, the yew, the holly, the fir, and other evergreens
abound in this neighbourhood; and the coming crops of
wheat, which- never looked more propitious than at pre-
sent, altogether contribute to form a delightful variety of
scenery, which i, our peculiar boast, and its charm! are br -
no means unknown; since of late years, since
