We yesterday announced the receipt of
Caracas Gazettes, and letters from that city,
to the S5th of February, bringing the important
intelligence of the independence of Quito and
the recapture of Coro by the troops Of the CO.
lomban RepubIic.-We have now to add
intelligence, which, though not ofso much
importance in public point of view, is not less
pleasng,as il shews the Colombian Government
10 be actuated by correct sense of justice and
u liberal feeling deserving general praise.-A
decree has been issued ordering the Foreign
officers in the service of the Republic their
back pay, with other allowances.-This will
give to each of the Irish officers under General
D'EvEREUx, and those who went out under
the late General ENGLISH, very handsome
sum-TO Lieutenant Colonies, for instance,
about FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, and to
other ranks in Observation-Disclosures pleasing
circumstance, and enc which proves not only
the satisfactory feelings of the foreign officers,
but the perfect confidence they repose in the
stability of the Revo lUtion is, that several have
taken estates in Caracas in lieu of some part of
the pecuniary rewards coming To them, and
have actually at the present moment coffee
plantations in full work in the neighbOrhood
of the city.-The soil and climate are spoken
9th the letters we have seen, in terms of I'M
bounded praise.
The last accounts left General D'EvEREUx
at Truxillo on his way TO join the President
HIS great popularity was manifest by much
more than the usual attentions ofithe author-
Ties and people on his route.-General Soub-
lett, Vice President of Venezuela, was at Va
lencia.-C oloncl Lyster is hefofhis Staff
Lieutenant Colonel Brooke YOUNG, another
officer of General ID Evereux's corps is with
his rgimcntal rank, Mayor de Plaza, (town
Nal9r) IN the city of Caracas. Colonel
al NY oi General d. Evereux's staff has been
appointed to The typographical department.
Lieut.. Colonel De REINBoLD commands a
battalion at Maracay bO.-Major Boyd, another
battalion. Lieut.. G. Talbot has been promoted
from General Soublett's staff into the celcbra-
led Buyaca battalion. His brother VIM. Tai
bot is with his battalion at Maracaybo.-In
short, from the long list Ofnames we have seen
IN The iettcls alluded TO, and similarly noticed
IT appears, that all the officers belonging TO
General D'Evereux's expedition, who had The
good fortune To remain in the country and
survive the war, have been amply provided for,
Fact that contradicts satisfactorily the yoyal-
aSt report stating that the foreign officers had
been neglected by the government 1t is evil
dent from what we have stated and that on
the very best authority, that the illustrious
PRESIDENT, the Congress, and the Military
Chiefs Of the country manifest the very hest
feelings towards those strangers who embark
ed their lives and fortunes in the service of the
New Republic. Iib.
