Magnificent, which arrived at the lat
ter island from the Spanish main on the
26th January, with $4,000 dollars Tor
the use of government. The embargo
which had been in force for time at
Carthagena, had been removed, aDous
lst January. Military law wasin force
in which duty all the inhabitants were
occupied; among whom, also, squabbless
prevailed as to who should be elected
President, but gentleman named Gaul,
being appointed, who was considered a
good man by both parties, tranquility
was restored.
On this subject, the following article
is taken from the newspaper called the
.Carthagena Messenger, OF date the "a
January, which states That DR.. era
cia Toledo, had, by unfair means got
himself named and elected President
of Santa Fee that the city OF Cartha-
gena, indignant at such election, refused
to ratify It, for the following reasons,
viz. That the said Garcia Toledo, had
openly announced his disarprobation
of the republic declaring itself indepen-
dent; that he had not retracted these
sentiments; that he was biassed Tor GER
tain reasons in favor Of Spain; and that
he had abused the confidence which
had been placed in him."
Toledo was not only suspected by the
Carthasenians of being favorable to the
government of the mother country, but
ofhaving numerous partizans in the up
per country; the government OF that city
therefore dispatched Bolivar at the head
of an army. with orders to dismiss Toledo
from his command, which he found no
difficulty in doing, for, on his approach
to Santa Fe, Toledo disappeared, and
the inhabitants entered into capitulatlon
with Bolivar, uniting themselves to the
state of Carthagera.
On the 18th January, General Castillo
entered the city of Carthagena at the head
of 1000 men, to apprehend the enemies OF
the Constitution, when he expressed HIM
self very handsomely to the foreigners for
their momptness in turning out for the
defence of the place and its tranquility.
The President also expresses his great
satisfaction to foreigners for thei friendly
aid, and assured them, that he hoped
things would. in future, be so conducted
as to give encouragement to all who might
visit the country for the purpose OF trad
Ing.
Vice President Pinerez, his brother, &
five of the principal members, had been
arrested and were to be despatched tor
North America the day after the Magnlh-
cent sailed. The brother of the Vice
President Penerez is an enemy to the En-.
s,iish nation.
General Bolivar, {the Republican, tho
so unsuccessful in Venezuela and the Ca
raccas, where he was driven by the Roy
aiists from Cumana, ) c. has in the Yves
tern Provinces, certainly carried things
with very high hand. At Santa Fe, in
New Grenada, he fairly tells the Presi-
dent, who complains of the city being
plundered, that his troops had just right
to plunder, from tie resistance made to
their entry. After a slight resistance or
tie 10th and 18th, capituiation was
signed on the 18th December, STIMULATING
