q Wiater Morning Scene IN the Western Country
Extract from "IAe Pioneers"1
The lake had exchanged its covering Of unspot
Ted snow, for face OF dark ice, that reflected the
rays of the rising sun, like polished mirror. The
houses were clothed in dress OF the same descrip-
ton, but which, owing 10 its position, shone like
bright steel while the enormous icices that were
pendent from every roof, caught the brilliant light
apparently throwing it from one to the other, as
each glittered on the side next to the lumlnarv,
with golden lustre that melted away, on its op-
posite, into the dusky shades Of back ground.
But it was the appearance OF the boundless oresls
that covered the hills, as they rose IN the distance
over the other, that most attracted the gaze OF
the spectator. The huge branches Of the pines
and hemlocks, on the western mountains bent with
the weight of the ice that they supported while their
submits rose above the swelling tops Of the oaks,
oeeches and naples, like spires Of FURNISHED silver
issuing from domes of the same material The
limits OF the view, in this direction, were marked
by an undulaing outline al bright light as il! re-
vetslng the order OF nature, numbercss suns might
momenlarily be expected to heave above The ives
te n horizon. In the foreground of the picture,
along me sho es oil the lake and near 10 the village,
each tree @seemed studded with diamonds. that
emitted their dancing rays as the branches waved
gently under the impulse OF the wlud. Even the
sides OF the mountains, where the rays OF the sun
could not yet fall, were decorated with CLASSY coat
shat presented every graduation OF brancy from
the hrst touch OF the lnminary to the dark foliage
OF the hemlock, as it glistened through its coat OF
crYssal In short, the whole view was one scene Of
qulvelng radancy, as lake, mountains, village and
woods each emitted its portion oflight, tnged with
ats peculiar hue, and varied by its position and its
magnitude.

Interference of friends however, prevented waste
OF gunpowder, and perhaps the effusion of blood.

millions of dollars The distance from Pittsburgh to
Washington is 325 miles, by this route. Sd, from
the Ohio up the Great Kenhawa in Virginia and

The New York Mercantile Advertiser has the
following extract of letter from gentleman al
Curacao, dated February i, received by the Hip
pomenes:
"Mr. D. Sola informed me yesterday, that he
had just seen letter from Gen Paez, (Patrol
GENERALLY stating that he was closely besieging
Porto Cavelio by land that Morales had been bea-
ten by the Patriot forces near Truxlo that large
body of his troops (. in proportion TO the whole
number) had deserted TO the Patriots and that he
himself, (Morales) was then in the mountains OF
Marldo, endeavoing to get back to Maracaybo,
which, il he effects, think will enable the Patriot
squadron and forces there to give good account
OF him. 1T the letter from Gen Paez be true and
| have no reason why it should be discredited,
Morales must fall into the hands of the Patriots a.
nod safety in flight either of which events will dou
btless soon put the Colombians in possession OF
Alaracaybo and Porto Cayello, and terminate con
test, which by those best informed here, has long
been considered as desperate on the part OF the
RoyaIists."

FROM CURRACoA.

The Editor OF the New-Yo Gazette, under date
lof Saturday noon informs us of the arrival Of the
brig IIippomenes, from Curacao She brings pa
lpers the 9Th ult inclusive, but they furnish little
news of interest.
The Colombian brig Vencedor, Capt. Brotherton,
had arrived off Curacao, from Puerto Cabello
bringing intelligence to the 9th Of FebrHary Cen
Paez arrived that day and closely invested the place
by land with very considerable force
The Colombian squadron under Com. Daniels,
continued to blockade the por Notwithstanding
which vessels continued to enter and depart.
dispute had taken place between the two chiefs
of the land and sea forces and terminated in duel
in which both were wounded.
The Curacao Courant of the 9Th ult. states, that
Morales defeated the division OF Colonel Manriquez
on the 10th of JAN on the Savanna Largo, consisting
of two battalions OF Grenadlers, and some OF the
troops of Gen Clemento, which had been dispersed.
Five hundred prisoners we're taken and sent TO Ma.
racabo.
The paper of the LIST ult. gives an extract OF let
tier from a Colombian officer, dated January 5th,
which states, that Morales had been defeated at
Truxillo few days before, by Urdaneia, with the
loss oE700 men.
CuRRAcoA, Feb. 9.-From long article in the
Venezoano, il seems that the next Congress, which
will assemble in Bogola, will be called upon to set
tie two questions oil great national Importance. In
the first place, they are to make choice of const
tuition from three already formed at different periods,
called the constitutions OF Venezuela, San Thomas
de Angostura, and the city of Rosario de Cucuta
In the second place, they TO determine whether
the whole Republic shall have but head, or shall
be divided into several dlferen; states confederaed
under one government. The latter plan IS recon-
mended, on account Of the different degrees of cul
ovation, and the various interests and habits exs-
ting in different parts Of the county; and it is pro
posed that the states be formed as nearly equal as
possible, and nat each send single deputy, or at
least, all an equal number OF deputies to The general
Congress
The government have it in contemplation to send
40 Envoy Extraordinary TO the United States, to re-
main in Washington, and Jose Maria Solizar, is pro.
posed for that office He has already held several
important situations in the state and the army.
