General La tone Is still at Puerto Cabello,
and is paid will • neither march, against the
Patriots nor give q the Gemmed. His troops are
stated to be is I mats of insabordinatioa, and to be
deserting daring the night. A report prevailed at
Curacoa, on the aullosiity of private letters, that Gen.
Bolivar had made overtire to General de la Torre, to
enter into a sew armistise. This is said to have arisen
from a rumour of the Corte* being Inclined to accom-
modate matters with the Columbian Oovernmest. The
papers from °roach° contain several proclamation di-
sused by Bolivar;, sad the Jamaica papers, which are
no later than the sth of Jane. again mention the cap-
tun of Lima, by Lord Cochran*. It is stated that the
Governmeat of Columbia has guaranteed the payment

he has contracted in America for saw mills. General

General Devereux was proceeding to Cucuta,
and was bailed through the country with the greatest
enthusiasm. A Curacos paper, 14111 July says, a fleet
of Spanish merchantmen, from Cadiz, consisting of a
ship and nine brigs, under convoy of the Africa of 60
guns, and a frigate, passed the Island on Thursday.
They are to touch at Carthage's& and the Havanna.
from thence to proceed to Vera Cris. A new Vice Roy,
appointed br Santa Fe, came oat with the fleet
and was landed at PnetoCabelle. Admiral Brien, with
a fleet of 3 brigs, 3 slimmers, and a sleep, was at
rdaratailso undergoing repairs.

FROM Tag NEW TORN PAPER OF THE lOTN OP ACGUST.
The schooner Cecilia arrived at Philadelphia from
CurAcoa, Las furnished us with accounts from that
place, one week later than the Rebecca Ann. Accounts
from Puerto Cabello state, that Lieut. Yturbide and
the Commissioner% from Spain, Stanitorio and Barry,
proceeded to St. Esteban, about • league distant, to
meet the Commissioner of Bolivar, for the purpose of

entering into conferences relative to thianiiistice,
which had been proposed by the Independent Chief.
Subsequent accounts, however, state, that they had
but been able to. bring natters to a pacific issue, and
consequently there wield be me interruption to the
war, vhich it is understood will be ilgoronsly carried
eti byintb parties. Tice brig. FAL arrived—at ,Cne-
racoa on the 19th of July from Puerto Cabello.
By this arrival Puerto Cabello is represented to
be in the greatest confusion. The outer town bas been
nearly destroyed, and the inhabitants ordered into the
city, which has beeti entrenched, and it is thought will
hula out long. Provisions are plentiful; captain Bianco,
who commands a Oserilla patty of 500 cavalry, has en-
tered San Carlos, and having touted the few indepen-
dent troops who occupied the place, is said to have mas-
sacred every one of the inhabitants.

(11ULLZTIN OP Tilt COLUMBIAN GOTIRNNINT.)
The printing press bas not as yet arrived, which
w•e daily expect, in order to convey to the public know-
ledge some account of the very interesting events oc-
curring in the capital of the Republic, by means of a re-
gular paper.

The list of the subscriptions " to remunerate each
of the military as suffered bodily injury by the popu-
lace on the 14th of August," and to aid ".the regi-
mental fund of else Ist Regiment of Life Guards, for
the comfort of the privates and their families," has,
this morning, been ushered into the world with no
little artifice and imposition. " The amount of these
subscriptions," says the Meriting Amt, a it will be
seen by the list, is already considerable ; but the most
gratifying feature is the mode in which they are be-
stowed. Had a few individuals subscribed large
sums, the object of remuneration would have been
equally answered, but not the still more im-
portant one of proving what really is the feeling of
the oeentry,ou this occasion, towards the military.-1
We dMuld thee have been told that brible had been
given to the seldien by these who were interested
in couvdng their geed will, whilst the rest of
the public remained cold and indifferent. But now
such an untruth, would not gain a moment's credit even
with the very lowest of the mob. Varying in their
amount from 101. 10s. to 2s. 6d., the contributions
themselves plainly show that they do not proceed from
a particular party or class, but from individuals of all
parties and all classes, chiefly the middling and the
lower, who are moved by one and the same feeling'
In behalf of the injured Military. Let it therefore
no loner be said that the object of the subeceipdoal
is napepalar.“ It is hardly possible to have con-
ceived tbst there had been any man existing in
'Leaden who mei have fabricated such a flimsy tissue
of falsehood, and present it to the world with
the bye that it could obtain a inimeat's credit. The
oesitributione proceed from individuals chid* of the
mid& and lower classes!!! they plainly show that
these classes are moved by the same feeling in
behalf of the itjusei iniNtaryr!!! and the truth of
both these assertions is proved by the centribudens
varying in their amount from Ale 10 shilling! to
Is. 6d.1!! Without referring MOm experience of

the conduct of the iajared military. on the 14th ot
August, without noticing the almost universal re-
probation in which the audacious attempt is held
of raising this subseriptiste among interne* men of
all.parties both above sad below the middle class, we
ag:Tz.appeal to the list itself for evidence of the
of the inferences that are tirade from it.
The whsle amount of the subscriptions appears
'to be about .C 250 ; and the number of sub-
scribers a little more than • hundred. Of this
number. near fifty are described as ladies or esquires,
or persons of still higher degree; about two and
twenty are anonymous (one of whom is styled with
truly laughable inconsistency. " A friend to Liberty
supported by-Law ;" and of the remainder, to whose
subscriptions names without pretensions are annexed.
several are contributors to the amount of many
pounds each. The list, in fact, consists of
two subscriptions of tea guineas each ; three af.
ten poandi ; five of five guineas ; thirteen of five
pounds; sixteen of two guineas; five of two pounds.
forty one of a guinea ; twenty two of a pound; axe of
tea shillings and sixpence ; one of seven shillings ;
sad one of half-s-erown. From this analysis, which
we have taloa the trouble to make. the public will
see how far it is exactly true that " the contributions
vary in lisle amount from' 211).1(11, to t 6d," and
to what an actual extent the boasted and Inspnalag fist
is an evidence of the popularity of the subscription
A real apprehension that this abominable measure
will turn out to be a mere abortion, has
prompted its mischievous projectors to affect to
be alarmed at the language that has been applied
to its tendency. It has been justly told them that the
attempt to encourage and reward animosity on the part
of the military, is directly calculated to excite resent-
ment on the part of the people ; and hence they en•
deavour to raise an outcry, as if it was intended to
expose them to popular vengeance. Their alarm.
however, is as affeeted as groundless. No attempt is
meant to intimidate, nor is there any occasion.
The project, though pregnant with evil, carries its
antidote along with it. It is so manifestly mischievous,
and so generally odious, that it cannot fail to be de-
feated by disgust and contempt.

VIVO( A, Ara. U.—The King of England is to re-
side in the Palate of Prince Nicholas Esterhasy, in the
Faubourg of )Heine-Hilfe, where great preparations are
making fur his reception. His arrival at Hanover is
fixed for the end of September.
A Ministerial paper observes that the arrival of the
Stammer packet of Baron Stormer. the Austrian Am-
bassador ; Chevalier de &inks, the Russian Ambassa-
dor; and Baron de Walter, the Prussian Ambassador
(the two former accompanied by their ladles), has
given rise to several rumours. It 'seamed that they
left Lisbon in cosmogonies of the tumultuous dispmi;
lion manifested by the Portuguese *nay ; according to
another report, the three Ambassadors had sailed for
this country in consequence of an insult having been
offered to the Austria. Ambassador. Both these ac-
moots are, we believe. unfounded, for we learn, on
inquiry, that St permits abets 'aithettolti *OM- who
represented their several Courts in the Beadle. bat
who were ordered to leave Rio Jaiteiro with the King,
and came over with him in the Royal squadron to Por-
tugal. Three Ambassadors from Austria, Russia, and
Prussia, who hare been at Lisbon for some time past,
remained there when the packet came away.
Accounts received from lima through Jamaica, of
a more recent date than those through other channels,
mention, that a flag of truce bad been sent by General
Senn to the head quarters of General San Martin, for
the purpose of entering into negociatlon with the Pa-
triots. This led to the appointment of fin Commis-
sioners. who were to treat further with the Independ-
ents. Report states, that great apprehensions were
entrrtai lied of the desertion of the Spanish troops at
Lima, and that General Sena was the more desirous
on this account, if possible, to put a stop to hostilities.
CAPE OF GOOD Hors.—llis Excellency the Go-
vernor, on the Ist of June. received a deputation from
the beads of parties and others at Bathurst, when an
Address was presented to express their gratitude for
the liberal manner in whit's they were provided and
sent to that colony, for the precautions which were
previously taken, and for the ample supply of stores of
all sorts which were furnished by the Government at
home. to ensure their success and future stability on
their several locations. Previous to the Governors de-
parture from Graham's Town, arrangements had been
made for a New Settlement, on the Books of the river
Deka, between the Great Fish and Keiskahatua river.
The Settlers to be located oat this spot, consist of offi-
cers and men of the late Royal African Corps. The
new Settlement will, at first, contain 120 persons.

Beanona, Arum 28—The Honourable Honse has
passed, • unanimously,' eight or tea Resolves, assert-
ing their andothted righte—setting forth the aaeaa•
stitationality and absurdity of the principles laid down
by the Governer in his Speech, and other eotamtaics•

able determination to resist any innovation which may
be attempted to be made in their ancient and acknow•

to be graciously pleased to remove Sir W. Lumley from

every Member in the Colony was present except one or
