meat, and allowed him to proceed to Europe, ig,compli-

Thus this series of conspiracies and insurrections was
interwoven ; and it now only remains to show the con-
necting link of Coanov A's revolts with the preced-
ing chain. COUDOVA had been one of the Judges
of the axsassins. The trials were scarcely concluded—
CoavovA had scarcely left the tribunal—when it was
discovered that bo himself had been—horresco referens—
ore of their accomplices. Already guilty of a ferocious
and- cruel homicide, reprehensibly withdrawn from legal
cognizance, he had ridded crime to crime, and even
awarded punishment on co-maiefactors less guilty than
himself. It was thought advisable to conceal the
offence for a time. His command, however, was
tacitly taken away. He was watched. His far-
ther machinations were made known to the Go-
vernment, who sought to secure him at Bogota by
baiting him with an honorary employment. He, how-
ever, became acquainted with the design, and preferred
to try the hazard of rebellion. Such is the unvarnished
recital of Colombia's throes.
What is further said by the writer of the article in the
Globe is most true—" Columbia wants a Government
that can maintain order whilst her institutions are
forming, and education is training her rising generation
to make proper use of them. Theories must give way to
the necessity of public tranquillity, without which there
can be no security of person and property—no improve-
ment in civilisation or commerce."
Colombia, as well as all the other new States, also pines
for want of peace abroad, that armies may be reduced—
burthens lightened—and civil virtues may be cherished.
The Li SE a ATOR has no personal ambition, in the ordinary
sense of the term, but he is opposed to the federative
system, and frequent elections of the executive,as incom-
patible with the habits, condition, and wants of the coun-
try, to which his valour, ability, and energy, have given
independence.
His wish (and in a letter to that effect, written by
himself, dated 30th of August, and now in London, this
wish is earnestly expressed,) is for private life : but if
he should not immediately gratify it, he will be the vic-
tim of a sense of duty, which will not permit self-indul-
gence at the expense of his country. I am, &c.

passed through Aylesbury on Monday evening, on his
way from Windsor to visit the Duke of BUCKIN GII A hi,

During the late journey of the Duchess de BERRI,
she stopped to breakfast with four ladies of her suite at
an inn at Bezier, and was charged 700 francs (281.) for
the repast, which was a very indifferent one into the,
bargain. At another inn at Arles she was charged
2,400 francs (about 96/.) for four repasts. The Duchess
paid these extortionate demands, but not without signify-
ing her displeasure at them.

Although the fog in London this morning has been
heavy and disagreeable, it has not been so remarkably
dense as between Hounslow and Piccadilly. As the
coaches approached Brentford, the fog became remark-
, ably thick ; in Brentford, persons in the middle of the
street could not see the houses on either side. The
coachmen driving four horses generally, between Kew
Bridge and Hyde Park, could not see their leaders. At
Turnham Green, the driver of the Cranford coach had his
lamps lighted soon after ten o'clock, and between this I
latter place and London, the whole road was one scene
of darkness—the coachmen generally dismounting and
leading their horses or employing men to do so ; cones-
quently, there was a continual hallooing all along the
road, and it was only on approaching within six yards of
the turnpikes that they could be discovered. At eleves
o'clock, several of the usual stages stopped at Hammer-
smith or returned to Hammersmith, the passengers or
the coachmen thinking it dangerous to proceed. At
Kensington, and Hyde Park;: the fog was equally re-
markable, but it gradually abated near Piccadilly. In
Piccadilly, it was not more remarkable than usual on
foggy
