. CiTlattcs OF NEW YORE.
"Lama aim Gairmanzat-o.ln obedience to post honoured
commands I cheerfully present myself before you, and in pot.
*luxe of my sincere wishes I would solicit your indulgent accept.
ance of the humble tribute of my unfeigned gratitude and regard.
There are periods, however. under peculiar circumstances, a hen
language losesits power, and words bee feebly repress the emotions
of the lwa n:. I pray you will therefore bear with wE on this
beomsion.
". When I landed in your hospitable city, almost a bankrupt in
fortune and reputation—writhing under affliction and eels.
Dallies, the particulars of which might be painful, if not improper.
tor me here to enumerate, I was visited by mental stupor, from
which I thought nothing on earth could ever arouse me. Not even
the clamour and opposition on the night I first bad' the honour to
appear before you could move my faculties or subdue my geed in-
srusibility. Ambitious esomod dead. and hope cast but a glimmering
ray across the deeded's of my soul, when, like my better angel,
your kindness descending upon me, dispelled that lethatgy which
tut a few hours before I had deliently.prayed might attend me
through all the changes of my mortal carter.
" It is you. Ladies and Gentlemen, and your generous sympa-
thies. that have restored me to myself and to society ; and although
nmy poor feelings may be unequal to the discharge of the enormois
debt of gratitude I owe you, yet, trust me, there are dear friends,
and kindred spirits across the waters, who, when they shall hear of
the obligation you have so tenderly imposed, will assist me in bless-
ing ycu and your memories for ever ! It were idle for me to assure
you. that my heart is too full, and too deeply sensible of your good-
ness and hospitality, to give adequate utterance to the sentiments it
now entertains for you, and which, to its latest pulsation. shall be
fondly cherished with the most fervent aspirations for your health
and happiness! •
" Ladies and Gentlemen, I must fora time bid yentas affectionate
farewell. Anstyku .Will.pyrnait me to hope, that on my return from
Benton, I may hares the binioiirlsid happiness of again appearing
before you."

We have received from Caraccas the Colombians of
the 9th and 16th of November. General MIND= left
that city on the 14th, to proceed on his mission to
Panama as one of the Plenipotentiaries to the American i
Congress about to be held there. It is remarkable that
at Caraccas it was understood that the President of the
United States had declined sending any representative
to that Assembly, though we have seen by the Presi-
dent's speech that one is certainly to be sent thither.-.-
A,property tax of ten per .cent. Iris been imposed by
the Colombian Government: on every class of the inbap
bitants—a measure which is much declaimed against
by the J .urnals, as tending to cramp the rising industry
ci the country. The departmental elections were pro-
ceeding : in that of Apure, General BOLIVAII had been
unanimously elected President, and Gen. SAIITANDIA
Vice President. '
An Inquest was held at the Rodney's Head, Narrow-
street, Limehouse, on the body of an infant found in
the retirement of Mr. Thompson, of St. Anne's-street.
Mr. T. stated, that on Friday last Bitty Dillon came to
live with him as a servarit. On Sunday morning she
did not come down as usual, and, when sent to, an-
swered that she was violently ill. He then went out,
And on his return, found her sitting by the fire, still
c,mplaining ; when he told her, if she was unable to
cu her work, she had better go, which she did, and on
uesday he found the body, is above stated ; when
:qrs. T. told him the bed appeared as if a recent delivery
ad taken place. A son of Mr. T. eight years old, who
kept in the same room with the servant, said, on Sam-
car night he was awakened by. her moans, when she
exclaimed "Goa help me r and he instantly beard she
civs of an infant. A Surgeon, who examined the
I•';dy, said, the child might have died from want of
.c ettention after the birth. In this stage of the bust-
' b., the Jut,' adjourned for further testimony. The
mother has absconded.
