We have received some highly important details from

to give the following extract of a letter from a high
source at-Carthagena :
The peace between Columbia and Peru was signed
at Guayaquil on the 22d of September. The treaties are
not yet arrived ; but it is said they are very advantageous
to Columbia, iind honourable to both nations.

MU confident you 'will now proceed* to the diocbargi of

your public duty with that cheerfulness and good tumour
for which you have been so much distinguished.
" Were any motive wanting to induce you to dismiss
all feelings of an unpleasant nature, and to adopt that
moderation of which so striking an example he. be.. dis-
played by his Majesty's Government, it would be hood
in the reliance which has been reposed in your (Blandon
and wisdom, by being left entirely to the exercise it year
own judgment on the most important question of the
State Bill ; and I rejoice in the opportunity which is thus
afforded, of manifesting to Parliament and the nation,
your desire to improve the condition of the sirei pepda-
don, by all prudent and practicable mesas. .
" My own experience of Colonial policy is yet too
limited to suffer me on this occasion to offer many sug-
gestions ; but every day .proves how important lit is for
the protection of the slaves, and for the purposes of pub-
lic justice, that the admission of their evidence should be
liable to as little restriction as possible ; for cases conti-
nually occur, where, by means of the evidence of slaves
not being received in Courts of Law, public justice is
defeated. . ,

" There are one or two points of minor consideration,
which I shall make the subject of s future communi-
cation.
" Mr. Speaker, used Gextkmea of tAt Assembly,
I am sure I shall not apply to you in rain for ihe
supplies which you have been accustomed to raise for the

" Gentlemen of the Council,
" Mr. Speaker, ancLGentlemen of the Assembly.

" I come amongst you free from all prejudice—with
an earnest desire to co-operate with you in all measores
thtt may best advance the true interests of this colony,
and with a firm determination to discharge my duty con-
scientiotisly. It will be 'source of infinite satisfaction to me,
if; at the close of my administration, I may be honoured by
the approbation of my Sovereign, and permitted. to enjoy
the gratifying reflection, that my zealous endeavours to pro-
mote your happiness and prosperity have not proved •n-
-successfbl."

To this the House of Assembly lade the following
Reply :

".May it please your Excellency,

" We, his Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects,
the Assembly of Jamaica, return your Excellency our
thanks for your gracious Speech at the opening of the
Session, and fully appreciate those considerations which,
under the circumstances, influenced your Excellency not
to call us together at an earliei period. We are ready
to enter upon the discharge of our public duty with all
those feelings, which you are pleased to consider charac-
teristic of the House.

" The moderation which your Excellency assures is
we may expect from his Majesty's Ckraerament, in ceasing
further interference with those measures which our local
knowledge and experience may consider expedient for
the improvement of the slavepopulation, is very gratifying.

" We shall afford our best attention to the slave evi-
dence, and to as other subjects which your Excellency
may submit to our consideration in the course of the Ses-
sion."

" We shall cheerfully raise such supplies as the
poverished state of the country and existing circumstance.
will admit of.

"We hail with pleasure the appointment of your
Excellency to administer the government of this colony.
" Divested as your Excellency must be, of all preju-
dice, and actuated by an earnest desire to co-operate
with the other branches of the legislature in all measures
for the public good, we cannot best anticipate, at the
close of your administration, that you will be rewarded
with the approbation of our beloved Sovereign, the gra-
titude of the inhabitants of this Wand, and the refection
that your zealous endeavours have succeeded in promoting
our happiness and prosperity."

To which his Excellency was pleased to make the
following reply

" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly,

" I return you my thanks for this Address, and I only
regret that say expressions in-my Speech should have
conveyed to your minds an expectation that his Majesty's
Government had ceased any farther interference in those
measures, which your local knowledge and experience
may consider expedient for the improvement of the Slave
population.

" I should be wanting in candour towards you, and
justice to myself, did I not distinctly disavow any such
pledge. My object in calling your attention to the

circumstances in which you are at present placed, was to
induce you to avail yourselves of the favourable oppor-
tunity which presents itself now, of consulting:the dic-
tates of your own unbiassed judgment.
" I am confident your liberality will induct, you to
raise such supplies as the state of the oountey stay
admit."

Some statements, boasting that they are outhentio.:s
and truly boasting—have appeared in the Tines, OAS=
aide, Globe, and we know not how many other prints,
affirming the facts of a new Brazilian loan, and its pro-
bable application to the re-instatement of the rightfig
Sovereign upon the throne of Portugal. We *lei
from our inmost hearts at these brightening pooped@ for
that most holy cause ; we have defended it, through
good report and evil—we have upheld the. Quinn
and the CAarter, against diplomatic ronepiraiiis and per.
zonal revniUgs—and the *iamb of tightopolotelo, of
justice and humanity have resounded, by Susumu of
our columns, even is the very costa of Poi il, dserea-.
trampled as is. If those Jenne's, who sow Agile

Cabinets, we should not grudge this the Walhalla'

which all at once they so eagerly claim. Nay, more-.-if
they would but advocate that cause with sincerity and
I 'wind/toner now, we should be prepared to regard them
' hencedlrward as brothers in the same champiandip,
and far from grudging, would even cheerfully concede to
them each official priority, as any new predilections is
certain quarters might perchance throw in their way. At
the same time, we cannot disguise it from ourselves, time
I the character of the several journal under allusion does
not warrant any hope in us, that they will be mincers
aftmeeories to the cause of Donna MARIA. There is not
one among them which has not—within the last three
months—done its best to prepare the public mind for the
recognition of the Usurper by the Government of this
country. The STAR, alone, has held out the impossi-
bility of such acknowledgment : the STAR, alone, Ilee
pertinaciously continued its dqmonstrations of that im.
possibility, and—when all its contemporaries were
vociferating in favour of MIGUEL and state-necessity—
dared the Noble Duke and the Noble Earl so to set aside
established legitimate rigifts,. and outrage the strong
feelings of the country.
The airomick—whose Portuguese article appears in
.our columns to-day—says: " We do not presume to
state what are the feelings of the Portuguese people
with regard to the Quasar ; but we have heard that a
little money, with tho Qtrasx's standard hoisted in Por-
tugal, would shake Pato triL's army, which is unpaid,
while Donna MARIA'S army has been, and is, regularly
paid, and in the hest condition, under Count VILLA FLOR,
in Terceira, five thousand strong." Our Contemporary
pleads ignorance of the feelings of the Portugaese people
towards their Qusix, but he says that he has heard,
that a little money and the standard of Donna MARIA,
would do the business. ' His ignorance—if igno-
' ranee it be—is wilful, and therefore inexcusable :
the Chronicle might have known, eves as long ago
as we have known it, that the Quetta is idolised by her
subjects, and that they wait only an opportunity to show
their devotion, and a chieftain to appear among them, to
hurl the oppressor from her throne. There is no doubt
--there never has been ndoubt.—that & very small sub-
sidy, and the standard of their beloved Sovereign display-
ed at psbon, would consummate the restoration in a
morning : for in this instance—perhaps, to a greater de-
gree than ever yet recorded in history—

That Miances goventment—ea the Morning Chronicle
suspects—may not impossibly be " altogether over-
thrown" beim many weeks, the vigorous itwparations
which we barn were making by Don PZDRO, fully
justify us in affirming, with nisch greater Positiveness
than our contemporary. The truth is, that the appear-
ance off Belem of a moth more insignificant armament,
than that which will bear from Brasil the fag of her
Most Faithful Manars,will be the signal for the tyrant's
11 immediate downfall.

We give the following article of intelligence from Co-
lumbia, which to use is no sitter of surprise. From the
commencement, we affirmed the fact, that the Rebellion
of Connors was the wicked act of a frantic 'homicide:

and traitor, fearing the mind t of the law ; and we thes.
checked, as we tette; ourselves, the mischievous offetta
of malevolent exaggoratkos on the subject. The distal
of CORDOVA in the 6sY, was even yeti isbisrlidothan
