PROM VIE PAISLEY ADVERTISER, AUGUST 26.

The state of the country appears to be slowly, but
steadily improving, even those officious personages who
are ever willing to trumpet great grievances, if by so
doing they can illustrate a favourite theory, are now
compelled to admit, that manufacturers are not on their
death bed, nor is starvation immediately at our doors.
Colonial-ptoduce is sustaining higher prices. From a
speculation in dyes made a month ago to the amount of:
9,0001. the ageat of a manufacturing house of great
respectability here, states that 1,0001. can now be
realized. We have been politely favoured from the
same quarter, with the following extract of a Letter
from La Guayra, dated Ist July, 1826.

" Notwithstanding the dullness of this season, which is always
so, owing to the continued tains, we have succeeded in disposing of
some of the goods at fair pikes, and as to the remainder of the
shipment, we are in hopes to effect a profitable sale thereof. No
doubt alarming reports are in circulation respecting the late political
occurrence in this country. The public tranquillity, however, has
not been in the least disturbed. The motives which led this province
to adopt the course it did, were the impolitic measure of the Ge-
neral Government at Bagota, by which Paez, the chief Military
Commander of this department, was impeached to the Senate on
some trifling charges; and consequently separated from his cam-
mend. The soldiers, by whom be is beloved, opposed themselves
to these steps of the General Government, and were joined by the
Civil Authorities of Caraccas and Valencia, who apptehended fatal
consequences from his deprivation.
" General Paes was, therefore, proclaimed Civil and Military
Chief until the arrival of Bolivar, who is to arrange these domesti:
differences. In the mean time business is transacted as usual, with-
Got any impediment."
