SII!

Soldiers!—Twenty days ago Government entrusted us with the
glorious mission of pacifying this province. and of chastising the
traitors. A harassing march and one engagement terminated your
enterprise, and attest your valour and constancy. Victory has
crowned us with laurels, and Government will reward your
loyalty.

Soldiers !—This corpse which you now behold with Indignation
and sadness, is the body of a spoiled child of fortune. The Libe-
rator's generosity raised him to the highest military rank, and
heaped honours on him with profusion. Intoxicated with prover
tity, he attacked his benefactor and his country. May his fate
prove a lessen to ungrateful wretches and traitors ; and may your
conduct be a model to the faithful servants of Columbia.
Soldiers !—I have shared your fatigues and your perils. Had
the glory of leading you on to triumph. I thank you, in the name
of the Liberator, and of Columbia. Let us now dry up the tears
of the widows and orphans of the sad victims that surround use.—
Generosity renders the achievements of the brave still more
splendid.

Antioquians!—Your province wraiths seat of tranquillity, of hap-
piness, and of prosperity. Her laws were here obeyed, and Go-
vernment respected, until General Cordova reared the standard of
revolt. A traitor to his duty. a traitor to his benefactor, General
Cordova trampled upon whatever is respectable in society ; and, to
render his crimes still more detestable, he has chosen for the theatre
of his violations the holy plate where the ashes of his ancestors
rest. An ever-just Psovromses has this day chosen to punish his
manifold atrocities, and to appease the national vengeance with
the blood of the rebel.

Antiogulans!—You are not culpable. The Government /which
commanded me to protect you is just and clement. Yon have
nothing to fear.

Head-quarters in the Sanctuary, Oct. 17,11129.

Dann F. O'Llaar.
It appears, from private letters, that Cordova fought
desperately for upwards of two hours, with a valour wor-
thy of a better cause. Almost all the wicked men who
aided his treason were left dead on the field of battle—
near 200 killed, and almost all the survivors wounded.
The division from Magdalena, under the command of
Urreta, marched rapidly upon Antioquia, having
already entered Zaragoza, when the assassin Jacome,
one of the rebels of Ocana, had ordered some per-
sons to, be shot for refusing to bear arms against the
Government. It is far more pleasing to us to announce
the termination of the foreign war which the Republic
"'as compelled to wave against the aggressions of Peru.
The Peruvian Congress having assembled at last, a Ple-

nipotentiary was appointed to conclude a definitive treaty
of Peace with Columbia, which was signed on the 22d of
September, and submitted to the ratification of both Go-
vernments. The principal points at issue were satisfacto-
rily settled, and it is honourable to both parties. General
Ganiarra has been provisionally appointed Prnaident,
and Lafuente Vice-President. The Liberator has re-
turned already from Guayaquil to Zinto, where he will
have learned the defection of Cordova, and probably
hastened his march.

Translation of a Letter addressed to the Governor of

Antioquia, by the Bishop.

Episcopal Palace at Rionegro, Sept. IS, Mt
By your communication of yesterday, I am informed
of the resolution adopted by the General of division,
Colin° v ; and if a long experience had not proved the
fatal consequences of these commotions, I might have no
motive to oppose myself to the torrent of circumstances,
provided acts contrary to my conscience were not re-
quired of me. It was only last year, and in this very
capital, that I took a solemn oath to support the present
Government, constituted by the most unequivocal unani-
mity of the whole republic : I thought it just : and
therefore took the oath voluntarily and with good
faith : and thus simultaneous throughout the whole
country, produced such happy results, that the Republic
was saved from the horrors of anarchy, without suffering
the least detriment in its foreign relations, which form one
of the principal points of appei for sustaining the sacred
cause of our independence, actually threatened by an in-
vasion from one of the most powerful States (Peru) of
this continent. On the other hand, I am holding very
interesting relations with the Apostolical chair, for the
better regimen of the Church entrusted to my care ; and
if I were to separate myself from the Government, which
has hitherto been the only channel of our communica-
tion, I should gravely violate my duties. I confess
to you moreover, that these acts of violence fill my
heart with the bitterest grief; and by making myself
a victim I could arrest the current of ills that must
flow from them, I would willingly sacrifice myself on
the altars of the country, to establish order, harmony, and
peace,—the only means which are left us for preservation
from a shipwreck, as sorrowful as that which we suffered
in the ill-fated year of 1816. In conclusion, I must in-
form you, that before I would submit to any act, in the
least opposed to the principles I have expressed, I shall
request a passport that I may proceed to the capital of
the Republic.

Despatch of General A. VALERO to the Commander-
in-Chief of Venezuela, detailing the suppression of the
predatory bands of Tumanaco, and Las Guires, acting
under the orders of the Governor of Porto Rico.
Head-quarters, Orltsco. Aug, 16. lest.

General,—l have received the following information
from the Commandant, Rio Cuico, dated on the 12th
instant.

" Yesterday arrived here two officers and nine men,
armed with carabines and bows-and-arrows, and to-
morrow or the next day, twenty-six men and twenty-
eight women, headed by their Colonel, JU•N CELEATINO
CENTENO, will also deliver themselves up. I shall
then make arrangements to regulate the resi-
dence of those who remain in the country, or
those who may wish to embark. I have also to in-
form you, that Captain BAnTOLO and his party have
surrendered ; and this day, five more individuals have
presented themselves to the ensign S. BOLIVAR. The
surrender of CENTZNO, has put an end to those brigand
parties, which have for nine years disturbed the tran-
quillity of this country, whose inhabitants are full of joy
at the happy event which has terminated their sufferings."

ISTHMUS OF PANAMA.

The Topographical Commission charged to inquire
into the impediments which might oppose the opening a
communication between the Atlantic and the Pacific, by
this Isthmus, has informed the Government that, in its
opinion, a very considerable obstacle has disappeared, by
the proof being obtained that the two seas are upon the
same level. At the same time, it is of opinion in other
respects, is not very easy. The actual communication will
be preferable : the navigation of the river Chagres, being
facilitated by the employment of steam-boats, and the
road from Cruces to Panama being improved, a distance
of only seven leagues, and which can be made a carriage-
way, the journey to the Pacific will be very short. In
the actual state of this communication, M. HUBTA Do,
going with his family to Panama, occupied only
twenty days on his passage from Jamaica to Bona-
ventum. But in either way, the Government of the
Republic is disposed to receive any plan which may be
presented, for facilitating the aforesaid communication
across the Isthmus, and will give to the undertaking
every encouragement in its power, not incompatible with
the security and defence of the country.

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER runs A PERSON
OP CONSIDERATION AT CARTHAGENA, NOV. 4.
As announced in my last I have now the 'satisfaction
to inform you of the happy termination of Con DOV A'S
rebellion in the Province of Antioquin. The troops which
marched from Bogota, under the orders of General
O'LEA Y, entered the Province, followed up the rebel
and his handful of satellites, attacked them on the
17th ult. when nearly the whole of his followers, and the
traitor himself, perished on the spot ; after which the
most perfect tranquillity and order was re-established
throughout the Province. It is proper to say in honour of
the inhabitants, that they disapproved with scarcely a
single exception the rising of this ambitious leader. If
the conclusion of this commotion be very satisfactory,
dm definitive peace concluded with Peru is not the less
the subject of congratulation. The Peruvian Congress
assembled at Lima on the 21st of August, appointed the
Honourable Senors Jose LARREA and LORIDO, Com-
missioners, who arrived at Guayaquil on the 12th of
Mintilbuer, and on the 21st the treaties were signed
rake to both parties, and which terminated all
at issue between the two republics. GA MA RSA
rnominated provisionally President of Pasty, and Ge-
neral LAPONTE, Vice-President until the assembling of
a Convention, which has been convoked.
The LIBERATOR PRESIDENT was 011 his return from
Guyaquil to Bogota, where be would arrive at the end of
November. It appears that the Congress of 1830 will
assemble under the most flattering auspices. GOD grant
that its measures may create a new epoch of, felicity and
repose !
l'he LIBERATOR had been seriously indisposed at
Guayaquil, but his health was quite re-established.
Heaven preserve us the Father of Columbia, the hero
who is the honour of America. History will avenge him
fran the calumnies of his unjust traducers, and the
Om is not distant to undeceive those, both in America
and Europe, who, with honest intentions, were so hr de-
ceived, as to accuse Bo Lt vA R of ambition and despotism,
without knowing the motives of his actions, and without'
considering the truly terrible circumstances in which he
has been so often and from which he could only
extricate himself placed, e
sublime fortitude and constancy
of his character.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
LETTER XI.

Sown, Oct. 1,1829.
S R--Bouv A R arrived at Gttyaguil, with a branch of
olive in his hand : and he bad scarcely set his foot on the
soil of his country, when the agitations began to calm. In

his way to the capital, he
the

at every point
Regime, presenting, by his conduct, a

very honourable contrast to those who had overthrown it.

He charged himself with the administration ; prohibited
juntas, and military re-unions, not authorized by the
laws : invited all to forget their complaints and griev-

ances ; and, by his beneficent influence, restored serenity
to the horizon of Cundinamarca. He then proceeded
to Venezuela, where the troubles had assumed a more
menacing character ; " where rancour and discord were
in full action, whilst every thing that was useful re-
mained paralized ;" and at the dawn of the year 1827,
without having shed a drop of blood, during the period
when all the social ties were dissolved, and with only one
decree, traced in a spirit of the must enlightened philo-
sophy, Bo !AVAIL breathed new life into the exhausted
and expiring Columbia—all submitted to his authority
—the Republic was preserved entire—legal order was
restored—in fine, the days of grief passed away, even to
oblivion—" Silence blotted out their recollection."

However, the strength of mind of the Lta:tt.►•ron
was not yet sufficiently proved. Columbia and himself
stood upon a' volcano, which opened at every moment
non• craters.

Bot.► VAR having proposed to convoke the Grand
Convention, to remedy the wants of the country, was
employing himself to repair the disorders occasioned in
Venezuela by the late disturbances, and to org►►niso in

the most efficient manner the branches of its civil, eco- I
nomical, and military administration, when indiscipline,
atubition, and ultra-liberalism, conspired to give a death-
blow to the Republic, and morally to assassinate its
founder. Unfortunately, in democracies, distinguished
citizens arc always the objects of jealousy.
The LIBERATOR had scarcely left Lima, where so
many efforts were made to detain him, notwithstanding,
the agony of Columba, when the Governor of Peru,
disseminating corruption, succeeded in demoralising a
division of our troops, which had been left. there to pro-
tect it, and in introducing insubordination and revolt—

impudently and scandalously violating the duties of
friendship, the dictates of gratitude, the good faith of
Treaties—•those who had the most adulated the Li aea.t-
Toa—those who had preceded his every wish, audaciously
vomited forth against him and Columbia the moat ma-
lignant injuries.

Both wire outrage(' in the Government official, as
well as public papers. Every thing was undone that
bad been done but so short a time previously ; and,
to crown all, this perfidious administration sent back
the insurgent soldiery to their country, with the object
of dismembering, and annexing to Peru our sourthern,
departments.

At this news of the insurrection of the Columbian
troops in Lima, ambition threw off the mask. The
men, who called themselves " the men of the laws, par
excellence," were the first to trample on them. Thanks
were voted to the rebel division. Burrs itexTa, its
Chief, was flattered in the hopes of drawing him over to
their views. And forgetting that virtue, which has bees
so ingeniously termed " the memory of the heart," they
commenced a cruel war against the LIBERATOR, employ-
ing every engine, malevolence and art could frame to pre-
pare his fall. What an inconsistency ! Those who had
contributed with their sword and pen to cement
the national independence, now endeavoured to
' disinherit Columbia of her acquired glory, to sow discord,
and, even in aid of their ambition, to call the foreigner
into their country !
The arrival of the insurrectionary division on the shores
of Manibi, introduced new disorder into the South.
Guyaquil, incited by Elizaldi, proclaimed the falde-
ral system. It was proposed to make an independent
state of that city, Quito and Cuenca, but happily these
new Pratorians could not accomplish their nefarious de-
sign. The LIBERATOR had from Venezuela issued a
proclamation to the Columbians on the transactions of
GUY AQUIL, offering to march to the southern confines of
the Republic, to save her from the destruction that her
enemies proposed. The Congress had convoked the
Grand Convention at the demand of the People, and in
spite of the machinations of demagogues, had refused to
admit the resignation tendered by the President to ter-
minate jealousy, and silence faction
BOLIVAR having therefore again taken the Con-
stitutional Oath, was re-established at the head of the
State. All these circumstances had changed the direc-
tion of the spirit at Guyaquil, which for a moment had
been surprised-into disaffection by traitors ; and the sedi-
tious finding themselves unable to oppose the valiant
General FLoaas, were obliged to abandon their enter-
prize, and fly to Lima, there to conceal their shame and
infamy.
It seemed that Dotal/ AR bad extinguished the last
sparks of the domestic flames which had threatened to
consume the very entrails of Columbia. Already it was
believed that discord had fled from our soil- -and it was
expected that the wounds of the country would heal as
soon as the grand Convention was assembled. But the
spirit of party envenomed every thing. The pretended
Liberals, infatuated with their ideas of Government—
persevering in their calumny, and appellation of tyrant
to the/rat champion of liberty, found pretext to censure
equally the abdication, and resumption of authority by the
President, and made use of every means to secure their
own triumph. The Eumenides again seised the Press.
The excesses of one party provoked the excesses of the
other—public men were attacked, not only for their
public acts, but the sanctuary of private life was invaded.
The people, who almost always in uninstructed coun-
tries suffer themselves to be led by the most violent party
—the people who, too often deceive themselves with re-
gars' to their true interests, who often hate their most pure
and generous defenders, became the puppets of the most
visionary, who obtained the majority of suffrages at the
elections for that Assembly, which was to re-compose
the State.
During this effervescence of passions, a Chief—Ps-
DILLA.••••wito had acquired great distinction on the Lake'
of Maracaibo, tarnished his laurel' by attempting a re-
volution at Cartkayena, which exposed the Republic to
the greatest danger ; but, thanks to the prudent and
energetic conduct of General MoNTILLA, order, and the
reign of the law were quickly restored is this important
place.

SECOND EDITION.

HALF-PAST FOUR O'CLOCK.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.

As we intend to give this very important documeut
entire to-morrow, we need only say in this place, and at
this late hour, that, ranked among the first topics of the
Speech, the PRESIDENT has the following interesting
passage.—We cannot begin these extracts without com-
plimenting the President on the truly liberal and pacific
tendency of his address, which will afford us ample com-
ment on a future day.
With Great-Britain, alike distinguished in peace
and war, we may look forward to years of peaceful, ho-
nourable, and elevated competition. Every thing in the
condition and history of the two nations is calculated to
inspire sentiments of mutual respect, and to carry con -
viction to the minds of both, that it is their policy t.)
preserve their most cordial relations. Such are my own
views ; and it is not to be doubted that such are also th
prevailing► sentiments of our constituents. Although
neither tittle nor opportunity has been afforded for a full
developement of the policy which the present Cabinet of
Great Britain designs to pursue towards this country, 1
indulge the hope that it will be of a just and pacific
character ; and if is anticipation be realised, we may
look with confidence to a speedy and acceptable adjust •
went of our affairs.-

With regard to Poriuga/ we have the following pas-
sage :—" During the recess of Congress, our diplomatic
relations with Portugal have been resumed. The pecu-
liar state of things in that country caused a suspension
of the recognition of the Representative who presented
himself, until an opportunity was had to obtain front our
official organ there, information regarding the actual,
and, as far as practicable, prospective condition of the
authority by which the representative in question u
appointed. This information being received, the applica-
tion of the established nde of our Government, in lilt,
cases, was no longer withheld."

AN ACTIVE MINISTER.

In ancient English ballads our Kings are described en-
tering into familiar conversation with the meanest of
their subjects under circumstances in which, the latter
ignorant of the presence in which they stand, freely
open their minds. Instances of this kind will be founil
in the tales of " King ALFRED and the Neat-herd ;"
" King EDWARD IV. and the Tanner ;" " King Hr. s -
a v VIII. and the Cobler," and many others. This ex-
pedient has been adopted by Princes sometime; to learn
the state of public opinion, and sometimes to make them-
selves acquainted with the wants snd wishes of their sub-
jects. Ministers, dividing the cares of their Sovereigns,
have pursued, and may still pursue, the same course
with advantage. Hence, no doubt, have arisen the vari-
ous newspaper reports of the secret movements of the
Duke of WELLINGTON, in which he has been repre-
sented sometimes inside a stage coach, sometimes on the
top of it ; and, within these few days, in the midst of a
group of citizens in an Omnibus. These rumours may
have also been encouraged by his Grace's characteris-
tic industry and activity. When he sought to oh-.
taut; a perfect knowledge of the construction of the
Thames Tunnel, he carefully inspected that great work.
and it was no doubt the same laudable feeling which
dictated his visit to the neighbourhood of the Nlunement
some time ago, on which occasion he minutely examined
the new London-bridge; thus enabling himself, by a
perfect knowledge of its localities, duly to appreciate the
several plans for the completion of that structure, and :11,,
new avenues to it. Had these architectural improvements
remained under the sole controul of the Corporation, there
is reason to fear that, as in the cases of Pickett-street and
kiuner-street, the principal new streets would assume
names of the most distinguished Aldermen ; that the
leading members of the Common Council would impose a
like honourable distinction upon the new lanes and alleys;
and that the Lord Mayor of the day would seek to
perpetuate the memory of his reign in the title of a new
square or a terrace. A better order of things may Ise
now expected to arise, and that the Noble Duke, who
has embarked in this great work, profitting by his visit
to the neighbourhood of Fish-street-hill, will adopt a
nomenclature for the new buildings in unison with the
old. Fish-sauce-street. for instance, may hold sweet
converse with Billingsgate, and " Sir-loin-street and
Bacon-street" will harmonize with Pudding-lane and the
Poultry. The various corps of lobsters, in their bright
scarlet uniforms, stationed near the bridge like so many
regiments drawn out for inspection, naturally suggest the
idea of a handsome range of neat houses, to be called
Lobster Row ; but they must be made of the healthy
ISey bricks of the olden times, and not the poor sickly
things of modern architecture, mere ghosts of ancient
edifices, resembling in their pallid aspects the old
fashioned stocks in a consumption, or faded beauties
biding their faces under a coat of paint and plaister. The
I porter houses and gin shops, now scattered user the
neighbourhood, might be collected and made to form one
continuous regular street, to be called " Juniper-
street," or " Quassia-street." This arrangement,
would induce competition, and customers would
have an opportunity of tasting a variety of these
exhilirating liquids, and suiting their respective palates.
This advantage is now enjoyed by the visitors of Covent
Garden Market, its which the various articles hitherto
carelessly disposed, are arranged in precise order ; in
which dowers, fruits, and vegetables, are assigned
their separate stations, and the vulgar cabbage and po-
tato dare not intrude into the society of aristocratic:
grapes and pine-apples. The system of uniformity may-
be further extended to the classification of the several
sign-boards; as, for instance, the " Lions, Bears, anti
Bulls"—black and white, may follow in regular noses..
; the " Cat and Bagpipes" may join in concert as
next door neighbours with the " Jolly Fiddlers ;" and the
" Goose and Gridiron" range in row with " the Pea-
cock," the " Game-cock," and the" Hen and Chickens."
In one particular case a departure from this principle will
be desirable : the grand and lofty arch beneath which
Thames-street will be allowed to pursue its, usual traffic,
may be called " The Wellington Overalls" in cornett-
meat to the Noble Director of the improveu.ents.
