PROM Till GAZETTR EXTRAORDINARY OF JUNE 6.
The Government has ordered the public4tinn of the
documents which have been received from the Intendant
of Venezuela, in order that the public may be correctly
informed of what has passed in the province of Cara-
bobo," and that the enemies of good order, and of the
Government, may have no opportunity of promulga-
ting falsehoods, nor of attributing the occurrences at
ifiliMekt AO any other cause than that expressed.in the
above Mentioned docuMents. The public will do welt,'
in respect to any reports which arty, in future, be
spread abroad, to suspend their judgment, since the,
Government are sufficiently interested in the progress of
the business to todsmunicate the same by the publica-
tion of the official documents which it shall receive.—
Experience must have convinced the people that such
reports are always exaggerated, and distorted to suit
the private views of those who diffuse them. Under
those circumstances, the party spirit of those who con.
duct periodical publications or Newspapers, the
.ten-
dency of which is to produce disunion, to throw discre-
dit on the Government, and to gratify their own sinister
views, are most to be dreaded.

power, appointing General Escalona to the command
in chief, ad interim, of this Department, wete communi-
cated to me by the Secretary of the Interior, in a des-
patch, dated the 30th of March, 1 was not aware that
this was to have been recognised by the local authori-
ties, nor have I received any other official cotnmunica-
' lion, than one of this date, in which the Military Com-
m ndant of this p:ovince has transmitted another from
the Chief of the Staff, which very briefly mentions the
events of the 294 h and 30th of April in th.t city (Va-
lencia.) My uneasiness would be endless, were I not
thoroughly convinced of the soun t judgment and pa•
triotism of your Excellency ; but although I fully con-
sider your situation, and your painful feelings under
the pressure of dangers really formidable, I am satisfied
that, at the risk of every sacrifice, you will choose the'
course which will tend most to the public flood ; and
only am anxious, in order to fulfil my duties as far as
my powers permit, that yi,ur Excellency may be kind
enough to communicate to me what may suffice for this
purpose, assured that your Excellency knows my heart,
and that my intentions are as pure as I believe those of
your Excellency to be, and that, by acting in unison,

" SlR—The Commandant of the troops of this pro
vince has, by despatch of this day, communicated to me
the decision formed by the Illustrious Municipality, of
continuing his Excellency General Antonio Paez in the
exercise of his functions as General in Chief, and tht
other Powers of the Supreme Government, with the in
tention, as expressed by that illustrious 1.1•Kly, of obvi-
ating the very serious misfortunes and disasters which
began to show themselves on the night of the 29th o.
April, by several violent deaths. Did I not tak‘: int •
consiitratimpthe pressure of events under such cit cu•n•
stances, I should have thought. it extrordirary, that
neither your Excellency, nor the Munici; ality, should
have informed me explicitly, and in detail, of all 01..4
might be worthy of the knowledge of the Government;
but, satisfied as I am of their zeal for the public cause,
I am persuaded they will have taken all those nscessary
and proper precautions, which prudence points out in
cases of pe
such delicacy : and I hope, that without the
omission of anything, your Excellency will communi-,
cate, and, if possible, vouch by ch coments, every
thing which has taken place, in order that I may assist
in every way I can to afford a remedy, because I ear
nestly desire to juoifyihe confidence which has been
reposed in me by my appointment to the office I hold,
as well as the wish to be useful to my country, which
always animated me. GOD preserve you, Sir,
