necessity, to rid the commonwealth of

Santa Martha, of whom three were
priests l. one a monk, had been trans

all points Of view, was as 1t should be,
and inspires great confidence in the
system of the Colombian government !;
it proves besides, that the government
does not initiate or retaliate the bloody
acts of Morales, brit still adberes to the
treaty for regulating the warfare, which
the latter in words and actions annui.
led on his part.
The Senate Of Colombia was organ.
lied on the 9Th, and tho House of Re-
representatives. on the eth Of April; from
the 2lst to the eth Of A pril. the legis.
lature was occupied in receiving the re-
ports of the secretaries Of state, upon
the business transacted in their respec.
tive departments since the last sittings
of the congress, preparatory to COM
municati upon the state of the gene.
raj affairs of the country. The mes
sage of the Vice President to Congress
is an important document, not only
on account of the interesting matter
which it contains, but as being the first
message Of the kind in Colombia, and
the criterion by which to judge of the
administrative principles of the execu.
tive; from the expressions of the Vice
President respecting the finances, we
may with safety Judge what measures
will be adopted with regard to the En-
glish loan.
The state of the war is satisfactory
in every quarter on the north side the
Spaniards have been defeated upon
land in all directions. From Guaya-
quill, Bolivar had invited all the free
southern governments to cooperate in
order to drive the Spaniards from Pc.
ru, there existed at the time several par.
ties amongst the republicans, a circum.
stance which contributed 70 their de-
feat. Bolivar offered to send from CO.
lombia to assist Peru 1000 soldiers in
to those which they had alrea.
dy, and 9 or 5000 more in case of need:
but misunderstanding having arisen
between the Peruvian chiefs and the
of the Colombian troops,
the governmental jupta returned only
a conditional answer, asking only a sup
ply of muskets, Bolivar ordered an i'm
mediate supply, s 1000 muskets passed
over Panama to Guayaquil. The diff.
fereDces above mentioned arose at last
to such height, that the Colombian
troops returned in..disgust to Guaya-
quill, but the infatuation Of the Peruvi-
ans ceased with their defeat on the 2lst
of January, when they relied solely on
their own strength then some were for
recalling San Martin, others were for
inviting Bolivar with a good army, this
was the opinion Of the merchants, but
it was opposed by party Of emigrants
from Guayaquil. who abandoned that
country when the question was agitated
and carried, about it's union with Co.
lombia; and who had erected them
selves into faction at Lima, very hos.
tile to Colombia. But matters soon
came to crisis as the government OF
the day had Loaf ito credit. and the
general confidence, and as the danger
from the enemy approached, it was re.
solved by the Congress of the 9th
February to dissolve the governmental
junta,': and withdraw the troops to it's
quarters, and meanwhile final reso-
luton could be taken to entrust the ex-
eculive power to the hand of militia
ry officer Of the highest rank. The fol-
lowing day the Congress nominated
Col. Jose de la RiUa Aguero, President
Of the Republic Of Fe'u, scith unlimi'

that effect, he was installed on the Cd
