FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
pgATB OF BOLIVAR, 11111—TriTICRATOR OF COLOMBIA.
A Spanish newspaper, the Mercurio, published at New
York, conveys the above intelligence. It gives it with great
confidence. The Liberator's death is stated to have taken
place at a country house in the neighbourhood of Cartha-
-00, where he was known to have been confined for some
'time before by Wnees, upon the Bth Dec. last. The depar-
ture of such a man from the scene of struggle for South
American independence, with the origin of which his name
is largely associated, is an event of magnitude in
the annals of the New World. He bad been founder,
regenerator, and saviour of his country; but his
services were not always appreciated with gratitude,
nor requited with justice. At the point of death Colombia
was about to make him amends, but a deeply-wounded spirit
bad already rejected all atonement, and he died as many
who preceded bim in the same course have died—a cast-away
from society which he had called into existence, and a
stranger to those honest feelings of exultation which his
exertions' more than those of any other in the New World,
contributed to justify. He was said to be ambitious and
despotic ; but when factious discord shall have died away,
perhaps history will do his memory justice, as the most ac-
tive, if not the most patriotic, hero of South American in-
dependence.—Herald.

Januar B.—We stop the press to announce the receipt of the fol.
lowing letter fiom Carthagena, written, we pledge ourselves, by a
pelson upon whose veracity we can place the utmost confidence. It is
of the date of December 18, 1830, and is in thee* terms a "I am
sincerely grieved to have to acquaint you, that a vowel just arrived in
this poet, and which left Bents Martha on the 10th, at eight o'clock in
the evening, has brought the distressing news of the death of the LB*.
rotor, which had just then taken place. Bolivar had been residing for
some time at the country-mat called San Pedro, and was known to have
been in a dangerous state of health ; and the last Sacraments had been
several days since administered to him by the Bishop of the diocese.
The inhabitants of the town are not yet acquainted with this melam.
choly news." Thus terminates the career of the hero of America.
THY RECENT DISTURBANCES.
(From the Mositeur of Tuesday, February 18.)
Pants, FEB. 14 —Serious events have taken place to-
day at St. Germain l'Auxerrois, and that party spirit may
not lay hold of them for the purpose of misrepresenting
them, we lose no time in giving a correct account of them.
Being informed that a funeral service was to be celebrated
at St. Roch in memory of the Duke de Berri, the authori-
ties had thought it advisable to give notice of it to the Arch-
bishop of Paris. The curl of St. Roch being warned that
this ceremony might become a cause of disturbances, de-
clared that it should not take place in his church ; the
cure of St. Germain l'Auxerrois had not the same prudence.
This morning, at two o'clock, two men, who had pur-
posely stationed themselves at the door of St. Roch, told
the persons who came to witness the service for the Duke
tie Berri, that they must go to St. Germain l'Auxerrois.
In fact, a catafalque had been erected in that church : the
cure himself officiated. Towards the conclusion of the ser-
vice, a young man advanced towards the catafalque, where
he laid an engraving that represented the Duke of Bor-
deaux, and a garland of immortelles,—amaranth everlasting.
Women contended with each other for parts of this garland,
and men took off their decorations, to place them near the
image of the Duke. Soon after the authorities interfered, and
caused several to be arrested,who will be delivered up tojustice.
The people outside, uneasy at this ceremony, and judging
by what passed before their eyes that its object was much
more political than religious, did not long delay to put an
end to a scene which, under an appearance of mourning, was
in truth only a premeditated design to excite disorder and
scandal. A detachment of the National Guard entered the
church, and cleared it. Meantime the public indignation
manifested itself in some parts of Paris. A great crowd col-
Inted round St. Germain l'Auxerroia. The National Guard
came up in a body, with its usual seal, and succeeded in a
short time in checking the disorder. It was more serious
at the archiepiscopal palace, where the National Guard came
up later ; but its presence put an end to it, and at nine
o'clock Paris had resumed its ordinary tranquillity. The
Government feels more than ever the necessity of not suffer-
ing the spirit of party and criminal regrets to mislead opi-
nion and endanger public tranquillity ; and being pretty sen-
sible of the extent of its duties, it proceeds by all the means
which the laws place in its hands against the incorrigible
men who, after after having endeavoured to subjugate
France, would revenge themselves for their weakness by
continually exciting fresh disorders.
'• The following proclamation of the Minister of the Interior has been
irsued this mottling t
Inhabitants of Paris—A feeling of indignation, for which there is
unhappily too much cause, has produced melancholy disorders. Forget-
ting the justice of the King, some citizens took upon themselves to exe.
cute justice. They have thereby only supplied our most cruel enemies
with arms. The conquests of July should not be thus defended. Re-
spect for the law and love of order are the true ramparts of liberty.
--The principal authors of the factious ceremony which took
Place at St. Germain l'Auxerrols are in the hands of justice. It
is the duty of us all to await in silence the sentence which it will soon
pronounce. At present no new disorder can find any excuse. Brave
fellow-citizens, retire far from such groups of fictioos men as may at-
tempt to form themselves at several points. It is time that agitations
constantly renewed should cease, and that the energy of the nation in
arms, so worthily represented by the admirable National Guard of Paris,
should deliver up to justice all those who may attempt to shake the po-
pular throne of Louis Philip.
" Feb. 16. " MONTALIVET."
The following Proclamation was last evening by the Prefect
of Police:

" Mantras," or PARIS I
`. Immediately after the days of July, the counter.revolutionary
party who, in the moment of danger, sheltered themselves behind
misled soldiers, resumed the course of their former plots. It is under
the shield of that liberty, which our law guarantees to all, without
distinction of opinions, that this party seek to subvert the institu-
tions which we have won. They have now taken our forbearance for
hesitation, and our confidence in ourselves for weakness. Yester-
day they threw off the mask at St. Germain I'Auxerrols, by a sense-
less provocation to civil war, concerted, even by their own avowal,
with Holyrood. This crime comes within the reach of the laws, and
several of the persons charged have been arrested. Our cowardly ene-
mies have only one means of figuring still in our country : it is by
cleating divisions, and sowing among us mistrust and discord. These
manmuvres have, during 40 years, done too much harm to France for
thtm rot to resort to them again at present. Let us remember that
for a century the watchword of Jesuitism has been—' Hatred to the
Family of Orleans !' Let us confide in the King, whom this
hatred and these persecutions have identified with our cause. If
Lone among you is the dupe of the snare that Is laid for you by
our enemies, their attempt will only have consolidated the revs
lotion, and shown Low strong France is when she is united.
They site to compel the people to disorder, in order to drive from
them labour and security. The good sense of the people will spurn
°R at perfidious insinuations, and they will cease to devastate public
PmPeetY. The Government knows the devotedness of the National
Guards to the King, to our institutions, and ceder. This devotedness
sill never belie itself, and this great city will be peoeerved from all
the recesses that might endanger its tranquWity and Mom
