COLOMBIA.


From the NeaO- York EUening Post.
The following statement OF the war IN
the Republic oil Colombia, has been hand.
ed to us by an intelligent person who has
resided many years al Caracas, and who
recently arrived here from that city /:
1.-The royal general Morales had enter.
ed Maracalbo with about 1000 men, at
which place he would be able to procure
supplies in abundance, OF every descrlp-
ton, and augment us army 10 5000 men,
and increase it as he advanced. The pro-
liability was, that Morales would march TO
Truxillo, which would produce leImen-
tation throughout the republic by putting
the mal-contents into motion, 80 that the
very existence OF their government de-
ponds upon their dislodging Morales from
that position. The entire force OF the Co
lombian army is computed at 5ooo men
bot of that number, 5000 will be required
TO garrison the different points IN the dis
trict of Caracas, to sustain the serge OF
Puerto CabelIo and prevent the dlsaitect'
ed from taking advantage OF Morales late
successes consequently, it was presumed
that only 5000 men could be spared TO o.
perate sgainst him, under the republican
generals Montilla. PaeZ and Soublelte 1t
may he calculated, however, that out OF
that number after the tatigues incident to
long marches in that soil and climate, only
1900 men would be fit lor service. Should
the Colombian forces fail in that attempt,
the whole country must fall into the hands
of Morales, who would Immediately take
Caracas, the capital, and the other pla>
ces in that district, and the remains OF the
republican army must inevitably retire TO
the remote plains OF Apure, some hundred
leagues in the interior on the other hand,
if they succeed, Morales will be under The
necessity of enbarking for Puerto Cabel-
10, provided be is able TO keep up his com.
muniCation with the coast.
6 The people of Colombia are unfortu
nately distracted and torn to pieces by in
testiDe divisions and dissentIons, owing
chiefly to their armies being commanded
by foreign officers. namely, English, Irish,
French and American, which has caused
great and.unceasing discomfort to which
is added, that considerable portion OF
the population has always been, and is ia
vorable TO the mother country. The army
Of Morales is composed altogether OF
blacks, muIattoes, Sombos (balf black and
half Indian) and white Creoles, all ma
tves of that country. They are COM
manded by colonies. captains, and subal-
tern officers OF the same color and casts,
who wear crosses and other insignias OF
royal distinction, of which they are IN.
commonly ostenlatious and vain, and OF
course are very jealous to secure their
rank and honors; being besides on level
in every other respect with the European
officers of Spain. Morales is a popular
man, OF great energy and military know
ledge, and has risen from the ranks to his
present high station; be is native of Ie-
nerife, but has resided upwards OF thirty
years in Venezuela.
1t was the universal opinion at Carac-
cas-, that the safety OF the republic depend
ed upon the issue Of the expected contest
with Morales

Mr.. Rhea from tho committee on

ported unfavorably upon the petition of
Benjamin Simmons, which. on motion
of Mr.. Hubbard, was ordered to be laid
on the table.
MIR. Smith of Nc. from the commit

Greenbary II. Murphey, reported the
same without amendment, and the bill
was committed to committee of the
whole.
Mr. Rankin. from the committee on
the Pubic Lands, to whom was refer
red bill from the Senate TO amend the
act granting the right of presumption
to certain settlers in the state of Lou
isiana and for other purposes, reported
the same without amendment, which
was also committed .

nate.
The message and documents were Or
dered to lie on the table.
The Speaker laid before the house
communication from the Treasury De.
parsment in relation to the sales of Pub
lie Lands. stating that certain informa-
ton on that subject, required by res
olution Of this House cannot, for want
of time to obtain, be furnished before
the close of the present session OF Con-
gress; which was ordered to be laid on
the table.
The bill from the Senate supplement.
tary to the act to set apart and dispose
Of part Of the public lands TO encourage
the cultivation of the vine and olive, was
read third time.
Mr.. Rankin presented variety of
considerations in supportofthe passage
of the bill, and replied to inquiries
made by Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Walworth.
Mr.. Gilmer opposed the bill on tho
ground that it enabled the purchasers
and occupiers of certain parts of tho
land, to hold the same at two dollars
per acre, when they were worth forty,
and the residue of the lands would be-
useless to the United States.
Mr.. Cook was also opposed to it ON
the same ground, and he added that
the individuals who entered into the
association we'll understood the terms
of the contract, and there was no good
reason why it should be departed from.
Mr.. Taylor was in favor OF the bill on
the ground that it was Necessary to carr
ry into effect the object for which the
grant was originally made. To encou-
rage the cultivation Of the vine and
olive was the primary object of tho
grant, and withou, the provision, OF THE
bill, he believed that object could not
be attained.

recommitted to the committee on public

graves of her mother aud sisters, all lying to-
gether, and the spot whose daises were soon
to be disturbed. She was carried thither in

the graves with beaming countenance. in
