VERY LATE FROM CARACAS.


Our polite and attentive correspondent
has transmitted us Nos. 81, 2S and % OF
the .'Gaceta de Caracas" containing
dates 10 the 10th November; from which
we have had translated some few para
graphs illustrative of what has been lately
trauspirlng in that quarter OF the hepubli-
ca de Colombia.
We have also received Letter from
Caracas of the 18th November, from which
we make the following pleasing extract;
s'The enemy's vessels have left the coast,
and probably returned to Porto Cabello.
No doubt exists but their plans have been
completely frustrated by the capture OF
one of their vessels of war "a schooner)
by Commodore Daniels, who harassed the
Spaniards so much, that they have taken
their departure. quite disappointed, The
Commodore has been appointed Captain

command of the Col ombian navy by the
General Congress, as strong recommenda-
tons have been sent on 10 them by the
ice President of this department, and
other Influential characters.
Mr Lowrey, as American Consul, has
arrived here. Some useful laws have been
adopted by the geBeIai Congress relative
to exports and Imports. Coiee is 10 be
free of duties, from the first OF January
next, for 10 years; Sugar likewise; Cocoa
and Indigo viii pay 10 per cent duty. All
agricultural and manufacturing utensils,
&c. SC. are 10 be free OF duties; Books IN
every language, Maps, Busts. Types and
Printing Presses, and Ink for that perpose,
Philosophical instruments, &c. are also
exempt trom all duties. The Cucula
Gazette contains the whole of the afore
mentioned regulations.
They are certainly very liberal; more
so, believe, than the regulations OF the
y. States on similar importations.
Our translator has furnished US only
with the following. Should any further
matter meet bis perusal, il will be given in
our next.

Is sunk in languor's fatal rest,
Whilst DER him, mid the gathering storm,

Hopes not, nor strives to stay their fall,

Nor blush'd to see himself accurst,

Breathes such wretch Der eastern chimes,
Unheeded let him roam;
His law naughty Tyrants frown;
A den of Slaves his home.
There let him dwell, for chimes like these
May well the bastard spirit please;
Where burning suns and deserts
Parch up the springs of energy;
Where even language owns the sway
That tramples on the Souls decay,
And cannot find word to tell
That sound which Freemen tone so well
There let him dwell, to Freedom lost,
Contented, if he can;
Whilst Nature, shrinking from his shade,
Shall view with scorn the thing she made,

That hand which scatters peace, and JOY,
and love.

And in the very grave would hide my heaa'

like a poor sailor-hy the tempest tost
I'm a frail bark-the sport of destiny.
He sIeeps-and dashes on the rocky coast.
Thou breathest and the obedient storm is STILL
Thou speakest-silent the submissive wave:
Mans shattered ship the rushing waters fill,
And the hdsh'd pillows roll across his Craze.
Sourceless and endless God compar'd with
Thee
Life is a shadowy momentary dream:
And time when view'd through Thy eternity,
Less than the mote of mornings golden
