A Manifesto, dated I:ingot:1, 12th July, presented by
the Executive of Colombia to the Republic, and, as it
is somewhat pompously added, to ilii world, has been
received. It is a very long. document: 'lt commences
by adverting to the conduct of PAM " who has vio-
lated," says the Manifesto, .64 his oath and .his duty in
the most scandalous manner." • It then takes a brief
view of the leading events in .the hisritry oldie Repub.,
lie from 1811 clwnward. The plan lor uniting 'the:
States of Venezuela and New Grenada in one Republic,
was entertained by the Patriats of Caraccas so early asi
1811—but it was not until the emancipation of the New
Grenada, in 1819, by the Libeitadni, that the public
act associaiing them underbrie common name was pro-
mulgatead.' ..gbis"Act,'ltsjeninly ratkfied at Cucuta in
182 f, by the establisbineni of a centrat direction, and,
byliving impulse to the means-of-the gebublic, gave:
to Colombia what it nrincipAlly wanted, physical. as
-..we1l * moral (nice.'
AilkbOugh the distress in which the Republic bad beenll
involved iky its long and ultimately successful 'struggle,'
I was great, and although. even 'with the assistance of.
the Ulu from England. it could sc.ircely meet its,
engagements, yet the Generals and Officers, who had.
fought frit its iiidepencliiiie, were treated with the'
utmost eiinsideratlOn and generosity, add had all the:
bonouis 'mill enicildinents that the fratitude of theist
fellow-country m'en'Toiild deirise or 'alliord conferred"
upon them ; and ' lief;"the General in Chief.):
more than' all the ?es(,' as the ' r.tly'#' cif the pre-:
ference of the Executive Government. He was au-:1
t rised to grim whiiever promotions he saw fit to'
e army 'under his command ;• and though:•he tisadr,
Unfit unsparing use of Oat privilege, the.Governmen4
from its unhesitating confidence in his I,rudeace and
sederetiOn, enisfirrtiea all his apPointinenfs.. Notwith-
ikanding the considerate and conciliatory conduct of the
povernment. dissensions spread among ;he inhabitants
.toihe'RePublic t and it Was at length nede,sary to gum-
ii a hi* 'Congress. stint li view totheir suppreision,
which met in peace, chiefly from the self-devotion of the
Vice President, in solemnly renouncing office, and thus
ilienink his 4/ish to'prefer the good of the State to every
COnsiderasion.

The events which called forth this document arose, in
a great measure, out of taw of the of the
Republic, requiring every citizen, from 16 to .50, to be
enrolled in the militia ; a Pectee, founded on which law,
-was issued by the ExecUtiveln August 182 t. (``treat
Opposltion•was manifeited against the mention of this
decree, and the Government strictly advised Fhe utmost
circumspection to be employed by thou engaged in
giving effect to it. Part; after great appearance of in.
action, proceeded to verify the enrolment of the
in the commencement of the present year, and the &ist
notice of his resolution was conveyed to the Executive
by complaints, called forth by the mode of executing
it. These, and other complaints, led to a resolution on
the. 00th of March, calling on Paez to resign his com-
mand, tallith was communicated to him by General Es-
calona. The reception which he gave to this commu-
nication is well known. The municipality of CAraccasi
bearing in mind the propriety of obeying the powers
that be, subscribed, on the 16th January, the complaints
against the insurgent chief, and, on the sth May, the

documents appio—ving of his conduct.
The Manifesto, however, attempts to shew that the
conduct of the public functionaries, and of the towns
where, Paez at,present commands, is to be attributed
solely tostMr mcaplicity to resist armed violence ; and
the ExecutiVe is kolifident•that, with'the exception of *
few blind partisans of his seditious projects,
stile valiant
bands of Venezuela are not contaminated with the spirit
of mutiny or dilobediente. The assertions of Pates,'
that he ipeaks with the voice of the people, are utterly
falsified, says the Manifesto, by the conduct of the
authorities, civil and military, of the neighbouring de-
partments, whose conduct at such an eventful crisis
gives unquestionable proofs of the stability of the Re-
public, and affords a speedy prospect of the re-establish.
ment.cif internal tranquillity. The Manifesto, which is
signed by the _Secretary of State, J. Manuel Restrepo,
ends by declaring that Paez has violated every article
of the Constitution, which has for its object the main.
tenance of order, tranquillity, and good government;
and that by hi. conduct the social compact has been
torn, and the Constitution trampled under foot.

Tax Buxaxax Twat/rt.—By the arrivals from India
List week, we do not hear of the payment of the Second
Instalment of the Burmese war uibute money; nor had
any more of the troops arrived at either of the Presi-
dencies, from Rangoon. 'The King of Ava holds him-
self in high tone before his subjects; assarittg them,'
with pertect complaisance, that out of his clemency be
has suffered the war to be stopped, and has allowed the
strangers to depart; and knowing them to be exceed•
ingly poor he has graciously given them a few macs of
rupees, to prevent them from doing further acts of
rapacity and violence.

The LORD CaincsaLoa observed, that what he said
was, that ba would permit Mr. SbadweU to• apply tor
leave to file the affidavits on Monday"; =din the mean
time he was to give Mr.'Hart an opportunity of know-
ing what they contained. He further added that if those
affidaiits were of a nature that did not requite an an-
swer, he would proceed to give his judgment on Mon-
day, but that, whatever information they might con•
tali, be WAS desirous of not delaying it beyond Tuesday.
Mr. HAAT was at a toss to know what order they were in, for at
the present moment the affidavits spoken of were not tiled.
•'' Mr. SHADWILL'ssid his clients hadinforused him that
the affidavits, if they were not flied on Saturday should
be filed this morning.
Mr. HART said, the Court was not in the habit, when
a case was ready forjudgrtient, of receiving new infor-
mation. He was perfeetlyaware that there were cases in
Which such an indulgence *as allowed, but if this were
gerterally permitted; 'a man eiretaitiatinCed as Mr. Wel.
Lesley was, would never write at a decision, that
skill—he had almost said `artifice—coOld effect, had
been exerted against him. TheCoott would remember
that lid taro or three diffErent occasions, when his client
had prim:lied the case was about to be final :y argued,tliat
he'had been told that another set of affi JAW its had been
filed, for the purpose, as he feared of mere y delaying
the' judgment. The affidavits now alluded to, were
sawn so long ago as the 20t3 of October, but up to this
present 20th day of Novemba. tkey did not appear on
the files of the Court, and it these delays were permit-
ted; the cause would never be decided. Mr. Wellesley
was extremely solicitous to take the judgment of .the
Court, and he would be content to do soon tbeevideace,
as it nose' stood; but if the object was to suspend the
judgment of the Court, he ,sidled to draw its 'attention
to this circumstance; that- dialing- the suspension; the
children were with guardians whom the parent.
,highly
disapproved of ; and that this custody was by an older
iif his Lordship not to be changed till a decision Iwd
been given. Although he believed that ahno,t any
other tuition than that they were now under would be
better for them.
The LORD tuAwcau.oft said that, fur the better un-
derstanding of this case, it was better to state that id the
first instance an application was mace on the filing. of
the bill for a reference to the Master to appoint a guar-
dian to theie children. The application ought in strict-
ness to have been for appointing a person to act as
guardian ; tor, undoubtedly, the guardianship was in
the parent, subject in some instances to the controul of
the Court. acting for the King as pares: patria. Feed-
ing that reference, Mr. Wellesley applied by petition to
have the custody of the children delivered over to him.
Mr. Wellesley was at that time residing in a foreign
country. and the Court weee decidedly of opiniOn, that
while be was abroad he ought not to have the care and
custody of the-children. Atter this he (Mr.-W.) took up
his abode in this country, and again applied to the Coort
tO.l]aTe his children given over to him.' Now his Lord-
ship had not the slightest hesitation in saying, that while
it* question was under discassion, whether the children
'shotild or should not be delivered to the care of their4a-
ther, he ought to receive any information- which,' on'the
behalf of these children,it was thought proper to sub-
mit. What the effect f that information might be, it
was not for him to say; but it might be such as Might
occasion a petition to be presented.to.morrow (this day),
which would induce his Lordship totally to reverse the
j'adgment he hid now made up his mind to promises.
His Lordship, after making some further abservatiOns,
said that if the affidavits were not filed by to-osorrow
morning (Tuesday), the Court would, out of compassion
to itself, proceed to give judgment without delay. •

In this case an injunction bad been granted to re-
strain the defendants from disposing of certain impres-
sions taken from copper•plates engraved for the Plain-
tiff, Mr. John Murray, of Albemarle-street. On the
part of the defendants it had been urged, that Cop.
per-plate en ravers had a right to a certain number of
impressions from all copper-plates engraved by them,
and that the impression in question bad been taken by
virtue of such right. His Honour, however, granted
the injunction on condition that the plaintiff should try
at law the right set up by the defendants.
Mr. SUMMIT now appliedio the Court that the
issue directed to be tried be, *heater there existed any
