We have received Santa Maria Gazettes to the 28th
of October, and other South American Papers of a
recent date. One of these contains the Convention
for the capitulation of Carthagena, entered into on
the 23d of September, between the Governor de
Toasts and General MONTILLA, the liberating Ge-
neral, which was to be put in force on the Ist of Oc-
tober. By this Convention, the inhabitants were al-
lowed to leave the city, taking with them all their
goods and moveables, their slaves excepted, which
might be sold, but could not be carried out of the
territories of Columbia. The troops were to take the
necessary oath not to carry arms against the Re-
public during the present war.
The Governor, the chief Officers, and the troops
belonging to the regiment of Leon, and the Veteran
brigade of the corps of National Artillery, were per-
mitted to carry their arms, but with no more ammu-
nition than what was contained in their cartridge boles.

The Spanish and American soldiers who might
wish to remain in the country were allowed to do so:
The garrison of Carthagena, it appears, amounted
to 1,011 men of all grades.
The desertions were numerous previous to its sur-
render, and not confined to the non-commissioned
Officers and privates, several Officers of tank having
changed sides. Very few lives were lost on either
side, and only one Officer of the Columbian army.
Most of the shells thrown into the city did not explode.
Numbers of the inhabitants bad quitted the city for
Cuba, to which place the Governor and the garrison
were conveyed.
General BOLIVAR left Maracaibo on the Bth Sep-
tember for Cucuta, and was elected President of all
Columbia.

The General Congress of Columbia, according to
the latest accounts, was employed in discussing a
plan for Public Education, and in forming laws for
regulating the commerce of the Republic.
