The Philadelphia .qurora states, that " the

the city of Lima, on the 9TH day ofJuly, and
established his head quarters there; and the
local authorities were called upon TO deliberate
on provisional government corresponding

1t would appear that spirit of wise and
liberal legislation animates the Congress, whilst
an invincibe spirit of liberty and courage per-
vades the army of Colombia. We extract the
following paragraphs from the aurora
" The government of Colombia has estat-
lished, by a detailed law, the provisions for
general and uniform system of education /;
to consist ofschools of three classes-the eIe-
mentary, the mediate, and the scientific :; and
estates formerly applied to royal patronage are
appropriated TO this important service.
-" The congress assembled at Cucuta had
completed the plan of a constitutional govern
