PRITATE LETTER.
" LA GeATIA, JUNI 2.

41 We are here like a foundling who does not *tow
his parents; we know just at little who govern us.—
This deportment has separated itself front the Govern-
ment at Bogota, and named General Part Civil and
Military Chief. He has written to General Bolivar to
come and see matters put to riglets ; but that is all A
deception-Ll'aez will do what lie pleases. He is, how-
ever, greatly disappointed, because the provinces of
Coniana, Varinas, and Zelia, will not come trader his
orders ; they adhere to 11-gota. In about a month or
six weeks we shall know something further, after the
decision from Bogota be known. If favourable, Then
all well ; but if no:, there will undoubtedly be a civil
war. Since yesterday there is a report of another
counter-revolution in Valencia; it is not yet ascertained
what it is, but General Paez left Caraccas this morning
with his Staff, to inquire into it.
4, We have letters from Bogota to the 30th of April:
Times were bad, and no money in tee Treasury. The
Ministers and Administrators have lent 2,000,000 dol-
lars to some merchants, wherewith to buy up the do-
mestic paper debt from the unfortunate holders, at ten
and twelve per cent. while they were pa• sing a law
whereby they intended to pay off this debt by a foreign
loan, which they were on the eve of contracting. This
paper in consequence rose to fifty per cent. but now,
with the failure of Messrs. B. A. Goldsmidt and Co.,
all is at an end ;—no loan, no money ;—and these met.
chants remain with the paper, which is not worth a
farthing now. It is said they intend to raise a contri-
bution all over the Republic to meet the dividend ; they
must make haste and find good intentioned people, or
they will be too late. I don't say any thing on business,.,
because there is none."

ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.
" 1 wish the South American houses and philanthro-
pisrs with you bad long ago thought as they now do;
they have brought ruin on themselves and many others,
and while they thought of benefitting this country, they
were hastening it to its destruction. These people here
were accustomed to despotism, and not prepared for so
much liberality; and the sudden change brought on
them has made them more vicious and indifferent than
they ever were. They have squandered and made
.away with the many millions supplied them, and they
are now worse cff than ten years ago, becapse theit
circumstances have not bettered, and they have ac-
quired a belief that their situation is of more value to
Europe (principally England) than Europe to them.—
Agriculture has not improved a step, and bad faith is
more experienced now than ever ; this is so far as re-
gards the Civilians. The Military Chiefs have taken an
air of consequence and haughtiness, that every one in
his department thinks himself fit to be a King, and
capable of enjoying as much confidence as the whole
Republic enjoyed, although undeservedly. Their fiat-
tared pride has created with them a feeling more preju-
dicial than otherwise_, and the consequence now is that
every one will command. Tne means of Government
are so reduced that they cannot meet their necessities
here—much less can they attend to those abroad. The
last accounts from Bogota are to the 30th of April.—
The arrival of the Lion cutter, dispatched by Mr. Hur-
tado on the 10th of February fur the dividend, was then,
not yet known. Not any thing whatsoever is doing
here; the stagnation is in the extreme, and such, that it
has become quite unnecessary to open store."

NEXT TUESDAY ALL WILL BE OVER.
NEXT TUESDAY SIX THIRTY THOUSAND&
NEXT TUESDAY LOTTERIES END FOR EVER.
