DEATH OF BOLIVAR.
By DON JUAN MARTIN, PREFECT OP THE DEPART.
MINT, Re.
CITISRES OF MAGDALENA—Penetrated with the great-
est grief, lam overwhelmed with sorrow. The father deur
country is no more. The public calamities, and the inn&
lode of his enemies, have brought him to an untimely end on
the 17th inst. at 1 P.N. His end has been butened by hie
heroic sacrifices for his country ; and the tears of his friends
attest the sincerity of their grief, for the loss of a hero whose
name must be for ever embalmed in the hearts of his
countrymen.
Crrisses—The Liberator has been devoted to you to the
latest period of his existence. Hear his voice, and respect
his decrees, which, should we violate, the national ruin must
be the infallible result, and the independence of Colombia
will die with the hero who gave her liberty.
CIT I rawe—The Liberator has left us for ever. We must be
unanimous, and go hand in hand, for the good of the union,
and secure what be has already achieved for us—obeying the
lacteal Government, in order to liberate us from anarchy—
and our conduct will correspond with the Liberator's desire.
Remain firmly united together, and swear on his grave to
follow up the dictates which his inspired mind laid down for
the good of his country; and by this means will we honour
his memory, and discharge a heavy debt of gratitude.
(Signed) JUAN DR FRANCISCO DE MARTIN.
Carthorse, Dee. 21, 1831.
The following is the last decree issued by Bolivar, and al-
luded to by General Martin :
THE LIBERATOR TO THE CITIZENS Or COLONSIA,
Colombians—You have ailed me in concentrating my
forces to cherish liberty where tyranny bad fixed its abode.
I have unceasingly and disinterestedly exerted my best ener-
gies for your welfare. I have even abandoned my fortune
and my personal trnnquillity in your cause. My enemies
abuse your credulity, and endeavour to destroy my reputa-
tion, by questioning my love of liberty ; and, fellow citing',
I grieve to say it, that I am the victim of my persecutors,
who have now conducted me almost to my grave, but I
pardon them.
" My affection to my country will not permit me to sanc-
tion any extraordinary funeral obsequies. My last desire—
my last hope is to see the consolidation of my beloved
country. Let all unite for the good of the union—let the
people confide in the actual Government to save them from
anarchy—let the priests offer up their orisons to heaven,
and the soldier regard his sword as the best guarantee for
preserving the institutions of his country.
" Colombians ! I leave you, but my last prayers are offered
up for the tranquillity of Colombia • and if my death will
contribute to this desirable end, by ;discontinuance of party
feeling, and consolidate the union, I shall descend with
feelings of contentment into the tomb, which will soon be
prepared for me.
SIMON BOLIVAR.
Lathe Camp of HaciesdiS from Santa Martha, Dec. 10,18.18.
The following general was issued at Carthagena on
is 21st ult. by the military commanders.
" Soldiers ! The sun of Colombia is set. Its bright ray
has ceased to shine on this part of the globe. The father of
his country, the illustrious Bolivar, is no more ; and a cen-
tury of mourning will not be sufficient to show our love, our
gratitude, and our attachment.
' Soldiers ! You well know what Colombia has lost in
her Liberator. A loving father—a faithful soldier—a wise
magistrate—and the best protector of humanity.
" Soldiers ! Our Liberator trusted always intros patriotism
in your virtues, as well as the affection you voluntarily
evinced towards person.
" Soldiers ! It is not possible to misunderstand the cause
of his death, and the country will appreciate your submission
to the existing Government as a proofof your attachment to
your late Chief, I shall attend to his last desires, and shall
be the first to show my submission to the last mandate of the
benefactor of Colombia.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE EXCLUSIVE.
PARIS, Fes. 16.
The disturbances here, which appear to be happily over,
presented yesterday rather a formidable appearance. Paris
certainly formed a curious spectacle. Mardi Gras, which
is kept quite a festival with all classes of people, together
with the fineness of the weather, had set all the population
on foot; and while on the Boulevards there was a double
line of vehicles of all descriptions, filled with gay coin
parry, many of them dressed and masked in a gro-
tesque manner, parading op and down during the *hole
day, amidst crowds of spectators ; in other parts of
Paris, particularly in the rue St. Honor 4, the masked
groups were mixed with the armed patroles of the National
and Municipal Guards ; who, instead of being able to join
in the festivities of the day, bad an arduous and painful
duty to perform in keeping the multitude in check, who had
spread upon so many points, that it naturally weakened the
Guards by dividing them into so many parties. The palace
of the Archbishop was completely sacked ; every article offur-
niture ; all his valuable books and manuscripts were destroyed,
—and thrown into the Seine, which presented a curious I
appearance, for it was literally covered with the wreck of his
property; and had the Archbishop himself been in the Pa-
lace, he would, in all probability, have floated in company.
The whole interior of his house is destroyed—shelves, floor-
ing, deors, &c. were torn away, and in the evening a fire
made of the materials—even the roof is removed. The Na-
tional Guard took no steps to prevent it ; but formed a circle
about the Palace, and kept those who were employed in the
act of devastation from proceeding to other spots.
The fine gilt cross, nearly twenty-five feet high, has been
pulled from the tower of Notre-Dame. Many men, with
sledge hammers, were at work upon it; but finding it resisted
their efforts, a rope was at last attached to it, and with the
united efforts of numbers, amongst whom some of the Na-
tional Guard existed—it at last came down with a tremen-
dous crash. So enraged were the populace against the
archbishop, that every article of his linen and clothes were
torn into a thousand pieces and trampled on. I do not believe
that there is above one or two crosses left standing
upon any of the churches in Paris ; and affair de ly can-
not be had for love or money, excepting those which have
been knocked off the different places where they formed
parts of the ornaments. In the Places des Victoires, where
there is a fine bronze statue of Louis XIV. it is surrounded
by an iron railing, the heads of which were flaws do lye ;
all were yesterday knocked off with sledge hammer, while
the Guard not only stood round and enjoyed the sport,
but actually took a share in the destruction. While
this was proceeding, the procession of the &eV' Gras, with
the band of male and car of Gods and Goddesses past ; this
arrested the attention of the populace for a few minutes, but
