LATEST FROM COLOMBIA.

BY an arrival at Philadelphia from Laguay-
ra. letters have been received in Baltimore
from the latter place dated Goth August-It
appears that a former report Of the di-mant
ling and blowing up of Porto Cabello by the
Spanish garrison, was unfounded-The place
still held out. The letters received contain con-
Trajectory accounts as TO the actual state of
affairs thrre.-One Is, that the garrison had
offered To capitulate on certain conditions and
that the negotiation was still gning on-thc
other, that General Paez had summoned the
place tn surrender-to which the Governor
returned peremptcry refusal.

attempted conspiracy in that island had been
happily suppressed by the vigorous proceed

thought there were two conspiracies one Of

the impulse was intended to be an united one,
and its extent and power were much aggra-

Our Correspondent continues thus:--" Eve
