The Colombian navy in post, including the two sixty-
fours.from New Yolk, was very respectable, and only
wanted men to make them superior to any force which
Spain could furnish.
The troops in garrison amounted to about MOO men,
and were constantly kept cn duty.
A Gentleman, who had just arrived at Carthagena
.m Bogota, informed Mr. Connor, that the Extraor-
dinary Congress, which was convened in consequence of
the failure of Goldschmidt and-Co. was still in session
when he left that place,discussing the ways and means for
paying the interest of the Colombian Loan, due inly.
Intelligence of the disturbances in Venezuela bad
reached Bogota, and the extraordinary session would,
accordingly, be prolonged, and speedy and effectual
measures be adopted to prevent any interruption to the
peace and harmony between New Grenada and Veue
sada. The receipt of this news from &lota had not
caused much alarm.

There is an amusing fact which deserves to be told.
Anne Soritag deposed, that having some distrust in the
success of the prophecy about the barn, she went to
consult the Cure of the village, and asked him at the
same time to say masses. The Cure (said Anne Smitig,
with a simplicity which amused the auditory), told me
that he could not answer for the success of my search
after the treasure, but that I should always have masses
said, as they would be of service to my huiband's soul
if he was still in purgatory.

PETER3I3ORGH, Jinx 26.
YetterdaTo at three o'clock in the morning, the troops
which were to assist at the execution of the criminals
were assembled on the glacis of the citadel of Peters-
burgh. There was a demi battalion from each Regi-
ment *of Cavalry. From twelve to fifteen hundred
persons were at most assembled on this vast extent, and
witnessed the execution of the sentence. The five, who
were condemned to death, should, by v;rtue of the sen-
tence, be cut in pieces, or rather quirtered; an
whose punishment the Emperor commuted to that of
hanging, were first brought before the scaffold, which
was not then erected, and remained for more than an
hour spectators of the preparations.
Afterwards, the other persons condemned,to the num•
ber of about 100, were brought out. Each of them
was brought guarded, in front of the corps in which he
had served; these whose regiments were with the army,
or who were not in the service, were collected before
the scaffold. The sentence was read to them, and they
were degraded by being placed on their knees, and
having their swords broken over their heads. They
were afterwards clad in grey coats, and their uniforms,
swords, epaulettes, and decorations, were thrown into a
great fire, lighted close to the gallows. When this was
done, they were made to defile before the scaffold, and
I then re•conducted to the fortress. After their depar-
ture, the five persons, whose sentence of death bad been
confirmed, ascended the scaffold in the following order
Rylieif, Serge IVlouravieff, Bestucheff Zumine,
and Kabcvski. At the signal given for the execution,
three of the ropes broke. It was for a :hors time sup-
posed that this was used as a means of shewing mercy
to so many of the condemned, who 'were the second,
third, and fifth, of those we have above named; but it
was not so. After a quarter of an hour of creel tor-
ture, taken up with fresh preparations, two of them re•
ascended the scaffold with great firmness, the third was
obliged to be carried. In an instant after they were
no more. FROM Tilt QUOTIDIZNIM
