PROCLAMAtIDN OF BOLIVAR.
ANEZUELA 631—The glory of your brave chain.
aims has tarnished by the crime of fratricide. Is
(Mk the w h which was to crown your virtue and
your valour ? ray down your parricidal arms, and
spare your country. Listen to the voice of your brcther
and your companion, before you make the la,t sacrifice
of that blood which has eluded the grasp of tyranny,
and which Heaven was preset ving for the support of the
Republic of heroes.
Venezuelans!—l solemnly pledge my word th ft a
convocation of the people shall be made, in order
calmly to deliberate on their welfare and their s ye-
reignty. You will be ere long—nay, before the ezpira-
fano of this year—consulted to declare yourselves 261
regards the time, place, and manner intended to be,
ag eed upon for the grand National Convention. There'
you will, without restraint, declare your sovereignty.—,
There you will publish your fundamental laws ; and as
the sole arbiters of your fate, select that which will be
/nog conducive to your happiness. Utbiaased by those,
in power, or by any private individual,' or even by a
portion of the community, the majority will constitute
the sovereign body. He is a tyrant who assumes the,
privilege of the people, and his power the work of 1
usurpation.
ff Venezuelans I—l march towards you, determined
to place myself between your bayonets and your breasts.
I prefer to die rather than see you dishonoured ; igno..l
:rainy is still worse than tyranny, to avoid which we
have sacrificed every thing. Woe to those who spurn
my admonition, and are found deficient in their duty !

LONDON.

THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1827.

STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The storm is now over, the account settled, and we have a quiet
morning, without any more failures at present. Consols, which
left off yesterday at 11, opened this morning at the same price ;
but anon after they went dawn to 82i buyers, and afterwards were
done at 821 for Money ; and may be quoted at present at 821 for
April Account, and near the same for Money.
The Colombian Government intends, after the Ist of January,
to lay an additional duty of seventeen and a ball per cent. on all
British manufactured goods.
It is reported that the Americans are fitting out vessels to make
serisals against France.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

Within this half hour, the Coosa' niarket has become very heavy,
and Consols, which were in the earlier part of the day at 8211,
have since fallen to 811 to 82 for April Account. At present they
may be quoted at 82 for the Account. Rumour says, it is in con-
sequence of the Ministers going
,to fund. Other reports state,
it is owing to the Americans fitting out vessels as reprisals against
France, to enforce the payment of their claims.
