We annex tam dospments well worthy of being pre-
kerved—a letter froliCanterac to the President Bolivar,
Written after the battle of lyacucho ; and another from
the President himself to the Colombian Congress, re-
questing permission to resign his office. The fact has
been stated before; the letter, which will add to the
general estimation felt for this illustrious person, is now
for the first time published :
" TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE LIBERATOR OF COLO M,
IBIA.
" Huamanga, Dec. 12824.
u As an ardent lover of glory, although vanquished, I cannot but
tongratulate your Excellency on the happy termination of your
expedition to Peru, on the well-fought day of Ayacucho. I take
thks opportunity to have the honour of placing myself at your sen.
'flee, and to salute you in the name of the other Spanish Generals.
I am your most affectionate and obedient servant, who kisses your
hand, " JOSE CANTERAC."
RENUNCIATION BT THE LIBERATOR OF THE
PRESIDENCY OF COLOMBIA.
lig TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE PRESIDENT OT THE SENATE.
" Lima, Dec. 22, 11124.
" Most Excess:err Sta—The peace of Pertovon by our arms in the
most glorious victory ever beheld in the new world, has finished the
war on the continent of America. Thus Colombia has not an enemy
in all her territory, nor in that of the continent of her neighbours.
" I have fulfilled, then, my mission; and now is the time to
redeem the pledge which I have so often made to my country, of
retiring (torn a public station when she should no longs: have as
enemy in America.
" The whole world sees and declares that my presence in Colom-
bia ij no longer necessary ; and none is more sensible of it than I
am. Nay more, I believe that my glory reached its summit, in be-
holding my country free, established, and tranquil, when I left
her glorious boundaries. This conviction has been strengthened
during my absence in Peru, and I flatter myself that for the future
Colembleifreedom and glory would be greater than ever. The
Legislative Body, the Vice-President, the army, and the people,
have she wn in the very infancy of their career, that they are worthy
to enjoy liberty, and able to maintain it against the mightiest
efforti. Once for all, Sir, I wish to convince Europe and America
of my perfect horror of supreme power, under whatever aspect or
• name. My conscience suffers from the weight of the atrocious ca-
lumnies heaped upon me equally by the liberates of America, and
the serviks of Europe. Night and day I am tormented with the
idea that my services to the cause of liberty may be thought, as my
enemies assert they are, to be directed by ambition. In fine, I will
venture to affirm with a frankness which I hope you will pardon,
that I believe the glory of Colombia suffers by my residence on her
soil ; because from it she may be supposed to be always threatened
with a tyrant, and because outrages thus offered me, shade, in
• same degree, the lustre of her virtues ; since I compose a part, but
inconsiderable indeed, of this Republic.
" Most Excellent Sir, I beseech you to submit to the wisdom of
the Senate, the resignation which 1 make of the Presidency of Co-
lomb a ; its acceptance I shall consider a sufficient reward of my
services in both these Republics.
" Accept, Most Excellent Sir, the assurances of my distinguished
consideration. S I MON BOLIVAR."
THE SOUTH AMERICAN CONGRESS.

Gaelic of the '27th of Fthruitry, and said to be from
the pen of the Colombia,' Sectetat y for Foreign Affairs,
