BOLL VAR.

BIXBY COLBOURN.

l'heilemoirs of Bolivar, by General Decotalray Hol-
stein, ex—Chief of the President's Staff,. have just been published
by Messrs. Csiburn sod Bentley. We have nut room now for a
bog notice of this amusing work ; but some of the anecdotes which
be gives of the Liberitor are not very credible. if we are to be-
lieve AL Decoudray, Bolivar, of whose personal courage most per-
sons have a high opinion, has on some occasions proved a miserable
coward. This will require proof ; and we give the following ante-
dote from tire work in question, in tit.: expectation dutch will soon
be satisfactorily contradicted :

" On the morning of the 2d of May, the squadron bring not far
,distant fzem.che three elevated rocks known by the name of the
.Three Monks Laos Tres Frelies.) not for from the Wand of Mar-
-'garita;tire Spanish men-of-war, a large brig andschooner, were
• signalled. As our squadron bad no colours at all.* Brion ordered
the Spanish. flag to be hoisted on board each of our vessels, sr.
~that the enemy, believing it was his own long expected squa-
dron, took in sail and waited for us ; but as soon as they per-
' mitred their mistake, the Captain of the schooner, which was a
fast:sailing vessel, pressed sail and left his commander,' whose
brig did not sail so well. Both tried to escape, but too late.—
Brion chanted his valetas, and find upon them. The brig
was soon overtaken by our brig, a fine large vessel, armed
With eight carerioades and a brass 24-pounder saivel. Three fist-
sailing schooners were detached from the squadson in chase of the
Spanish schooner, which was taken some hours -afterwards. It
,was the Spaaisb royal schooner Rita, with two carronades, 24-
pounderi. six eight-pounders, and one 18-pound swivel, cam-
' mended by the Captain Don Mateo Ocampo, who was mortally
wounded in the combat. The royal brig was the intrepid°, with
14 eight-powders andlso men, sailor._ and troops, commanded by
the Brigadier Due Rafael Inglesias, who was wounded, and 'Gen
killed by our mat, who took the vessel by boarding I'h y' en.
tered the cabin with drawn swords, while the surgeon wag dressing
his wound, and killed him. The surgeon attempted to spielew
them, fed.ke Walt sounlyeed tow Such watt the horrid character
of this.. bacharotte war. Commodore, Brion, who fought bravely,
received a wound, which was fortunately of no dangerouirconw-
quenee, and was proMoted. after the action; to the rank of Ad-
' .antrat of the Republic of N'eneausia. But how did General 'Doh-
var belseve in this pretty hot and close action, which ta.ted more
than four hears? A. tom as be heard that Brion had ordered
the necessary preparations for attack, he cook me aside Ind
spoke as follows :--" But, my friend, do ycu not think that the
Spaniards. will tette and light to the la.t ?" To be sure
they win ,* replied 1, laughing. but do you think olio

General Bolivar But what is the best fur me to do?' he continued
Do you not think that if T were wounded,or killed. ma CaPedition
would be totally lost, and Brion, the popr Orion. would have ex-
pended in vain all his fortune?' I looked up, astonished : it first occur-
red to me that he might be jesting ; but when I saw that these strange
questions were put to 'me in earnest, I understood him, called
Brion, and said, ' General Bolivar has made to me a just observa-
tion concerning you : he said, that be being wounded or killed in
the action, you would lose all your advances, as then the expedi-
tion would of course be disbanded.' Well. General,' said Brion,
turning to Bolivar,' you will be safely placed with the Intendant.
Zea, to whom I have assigned a place in my cabin, (in which
Bolivar, Brion, Zea, and myself, slept,) at the entry of the powder-
magazine, to hand the necessary cartridges. A. Brion said these
words in an angry manner, Bolivar asked, But, my dear
Brion, do you not think that Ducoudray's observation is just?--do
you not think so?' •Oh yes, yes,' said Brion, and turned round.
I was giving the necessary orders to our officers to arm with mus-
kets and cartridges. when Bolivar came hastily and took me by
the arm, saying, ' Now I have found an excellent place, better
than to be down in the cabin with old Zea, (who looked, in fact,
much older than he was. and was the same man who died as mi-
nister of Colombia in England.) He showed me the long-boat,
which, in armed vessels, is generally fixed over the cabin win-
dows. He jumped in, called Garcia (his attendant,) or-
dered his pistols and sword, and told him to load two balls in
each pistol, which Garcia did in my presence, looking at
me and laughing. This position, which Bolivar chose fur
himself, was surely the safest place in the vessel ; then, in sit-
ting as he did in the long-boat, his head and whole body were
safely protected by the thickness and strength of the beam which
supports the rudder of the vessel. He sat down in the boat, and
requested me to take command of the dicers, whom I provided
with arms and ammunition; and Brion entrusted me with the
command of the volunteers; so that I had to survey the whole
infantry of about 160 armed men. A strange contrast was af-
forded by NI. Ballot, a respectable French gentleman of sixty-four
years of age, who, together with his young son of sixteen years
old, put themselves voluntarily under my orders, in spite of
Brion'. and my representations that they should go down into the
cabin and moist Mr. Zea. Both, full of ardour and courage, re-
futed positively, and said, that this was a post of honour, and that
they would not have any other assigned to them. In comparing
the behaviour of Ballot father and son, who exposed their livea,vo-
lunurily, for the welfare of a country in which they were not born,
and to which they did not come in order to light, with that of a
military chieftain, already famous, who now. placed at the head
of an expedition, withdrew himself in seat a cut lout manner, when
he should have taken the command of us all, we have surely a very
characteristic trait of what I have already said of Bolivar"

NOVA SCOTIA v. SWAN RIVER.

It is a characteristic of the English people to attach impuetance
to things at a distance orfarletthed. It is difficult on any other
principle to account for the prevailing predilection for the Swatairer
over twenty other places that might be named in different parts of
the world, affording equal or superior advantages to emi-
grants. There is perhaps no part of the world so advan-
tageous for emigration from the British isles as Nova Scotia.
as well on account of its proximity, as its great caps.
bilities alike fur agriculture, mining, and commercial enter-
prise; the advantages of which we will endeavour to set forth.—
Nova Scotia is the nearest point of the American continent to
Europe : it is a peninsula extending nearly NO miles from S. to
N. by IL bearing E. at a medium breadth from E. to W. of about
55 miles. Cape Sable, the S.F. extremity of the peninsula, is
lat. 43. 24. N. and 65. 39.10ng. W: of Greenwich. Halifax, the
capital of the province, and residence of the Lieutenant Governor
of all British America, is beautifully located on the S. side of a
spacious harbour, in lat. 44. 46. N. and 63.27. of W. longitude.
which corresponds with the lat. of Bordeaux. Halifax is protected
on the land side by a strong fort, and an island at the entrance of
the harbour is so strongly fortified as to render the town secure from
any attack by sea. There are several other good harbours
on the Atlantic coast, the principal of which are Shelburne,
Liverpool, and Lunenburgh. The country around Halifax.
although picturesque, is sterile, and calculated to excite an
unfavourable impression, but on the aggregate Nova Seotis
is a country of great capability, and in many pans of great fertility ;
it is bounded on the E. by the Bay of Fundy, which separates it
from the British province of New Brunswick, to which it is
united by an isthmus, in the narrowest part, about ten miles acre's,
and on the N. it is bounded by the Gut of Cuomo, which divides
it from Cape (Ireton, and on the N.B. by Northumberland
Streight, which divides it from Prince Edward Island in the Gulf
St. Lawrence. On this coast are the harbours of Antigonish and
Picton ; the latter sufficiently capacious to contain several thousand
IA of ships, in as complete security as if ha the harbor of Ports-
mouth. On the coast of the Day of Fundy are the Puns of
Digley. Annapolis, and Windsor. The surface of Nova Scotia is
beautifully diversified, interspersed with lakes and streams of water.
adapted to facilitate every kind of manufacturing operations, while
the coast and all its rivers and harbours abound in fish ; the most
fertile part of the country is at the head of the Bay of Fundy,
where is the town of Truro, about 60 miles N. of Halifax, and SO
W. of Picton. This part of the country consists of a rich red
loamy soil, all across the Isthmus, from Truro to Picton, the
quality of which is indicated by the luxuriance of its forests of
berth. maple, and oak. With the view of rendering this part of
the country more available to agricultural and commercial enter-
prise, a better communication from Dartmouth. on the E. side of
the harbour of Halifax, and opposite there to Truro, is now form-
ing. The distance [tom Dartmouth to Truro is about 60 miles,
but 2739 yards only of canalling and lockage opens a water commu-
nication the whole distance, through a country, rich in gypsum, lime;
slate, coal, and other minerals. This Work was first authorised by
the Provincial Assembly in 1824, when an Act was passed to nth°.
rise the incorporation of a Company for making a Canal by the Meer
and Lakes of the grsibeneenidie. Under this Act a Company was
incorporated by a Charter, dated the Ist of June, 1828 ; the esti-
mated expence is £57.000, towards which the provincial Legisla-
ture have voted .613.500 sterling as a donation ; £16,500 has been
subscribed by individuals in Nova Scotia, and £27,000 is intended
to be raised in .England, fir which £27,000 an interest of five per
Cent. in perpetuity, is to be guaranteed for the first ten years by
the Provincial Legislature, who have authorised a further grant of
£1350 annually for such specific purpose. The summit level of
this Canal is 95ft. 10 in. above the high water surface of medium
tides in Halifax Harbour, and is attained by seven locks, each 87ft.
long and 22ft. Gin. wide. The rise of the tide lock being 15ft.
4in. and the other, lift. 6 in. the descent into the Shubenacadeo
River, which fails into the Bay of Fundy, near Truro, is 95ft.
4in. by eight locks of the same dimensions, and thus a navigation
will be opened the whole distance fur vessels drawing eight feet of
water, capable hereafter of being increased to the depth of 10 or 11
feet. The head waters Of the Bay of Fundy on the South are
designated the Beans of Mines, and the eastern extremity is called
abefsed Bay, at the head of which, about five miles eastward of
the mouth of the Shubenacadee River, is seated the town of Truro,
• front Truro, the Isthmus (the mean breadth of which is about 85
mileoforms a promontary running nearly due W. about 60 miles into
the Bay of Fundy. The waters South of this promontory are called
the Chiegoseeto Channel, or Bear Basin, which diverges on the N.
into Chepody Bay, and due E. into Cumberland Basin. Into the
head of this Basin falls the Aulac River, at the mouth of which is
Fort Counbetiand. About 45 miles due N. of Truro, from the
Aulac River. a canal of only eight miles, with five locks, extends
the navigation of the Shubenacaddie and the Bay of Fundy into
Northumberland Strait and the Gulf of St. Lawrence; and thus a
range of sterna hundred miles of hdand waters is rendered available
for the extension of Steam navigation by less than ten miles of
canalage and lockage. With these advantages here set forth, it
must be unnecessary to offer further inducements to emigrants.
The Scotch have long been sensible of its advantages. The popu-
lation of the province in 1817 was taken at 82,050 ; increased in
124.000; and when 992.000 acres of land were returned
