lousies, have been predominant in all the pro-
ylnces, and whether the expected Congress
will be able to establish we'll constituted ge-
neral government, is still to be seen. Santa
Fe formed constitution some time ago,
which however must undergo changes as be-
ing incompatible with the establishment of a
respectable Federal Government. Carthage
ma and Santa Martha are at open war, the lat
ter place being strengthened by the disaffect-
ed natives Of old Spain, who resorted to Santa
Martha from here and from other parts.
ssThe only memorable event for long time,
happened here on the llth of the last month,
which produced declaration of independence
of any government in Spain-and though the
tunult lasted several days, and thousands of
the people had forcibly provided themselves
with arms, not life was lost. The circum-
stance, several times repeated here and in San
ia Fe, as it is a certain proof of moderation
and good conduct, even in the lower classes,
must induce every sensible mind to wish them
possessed of good government, of which
they show themselves not unworthy.
"The most memorable circumstance on the
l lth November here, was the abolition of the
IINQUISITION-it was here they had their
principal seat for all Terra Firma-butitis now
no more. The buildings which belonged to
that institution, are destined for Tribunals and
other public useful purposes.
cit is hoped that the late successes here
will cement the harmony pervading in the in
terror. A great thing has been accomplished
in doing away the inquisition, for though they
did not venture at present to exercise their
power TO great length, still their underkand
influence was great and banefuI, and in every
place they had their emissares and adherents.
Only two years ago they excommunieated
every individual, who had any paper Of the
political changes at Quito III his possession,
and VINO did not deliver it up to them and if
you recoiect that eXcommunication from that
Church, according to their creed, is the same
thing, if not recalled, as eternal darnnation,
you Will not wonder at the power they exer-
cised.
"The newspaper states more at large the
occurrences as they passed, aad contains the
declaration Of independence of this province,
which at present is called the state of Cartha-
gena. Commerce is mostly dead, and the
want of money extreme, yet it is expected
that the government will now receive some
supplies of money from the interior
