to present a pleasing spectacle for the
contemplation of every friend to %univer-
sal Iiberty.-The intelligence of the de-
termination of the British government
to recognise Colombia and Mexico,
was received in the Capital on the
fourth of March, brought to Alyarado
| by a British vessel, and Of course excl

COLOMBIA-BOLIVAR.--I was
stated yesterday in the Federal Gazette
that the Colombian Congress, delibera-
ting on Bolivar's resignation ofthe Pre-
sidency, had unanimously resolved that
he should be continued in that high of
flee. The subjoined remarks ON the
subject we copy from a Bogota pa

BoeoTA, Feb. 1.-THE public SEES
sion of Congress, when both Houses
were assembled in the Hall of the Sc
nate, on the evening of the 8th inst. to
discuss the resignation sent in by the
Liherator Bolivar, does as much honour
to Il Legislature as to the hero of
Colombia, and the concourse ofspecta-
tors who were witnesses to the scene.
How profound and eloquent was that
silence, on the question being proposed!
How imposing that unanimity of opin-
ion in deciding it in the negative, the
whole discussion consisting in testimo-
MES of affection and gratitude to their
deliverer; and how cordial that express
sion of feeling manifested by the peo-
pie in ~applauding the resolution Of Con-
gress. How fortunate would it be for
us, ifsome spy o the 4oly Alliance had
been present at this discussion Mer-
cenary slave, write tn thy masters what
are the sentiments of Colombia; des-
cribe her to them faithfully asthou saw
est her on that night, and ask them, if
infatuated and pulled up with their
Heaven derived power, they can ever
dream of receiving from their sub
jects the free and sincere homage of
affection and gratitude we have offered
to our fellow citizen BoLlvARl The
only thing wanting to complete our hap.
piness was that our Deliverer should
himself have been concealed in thy
place, a witness of our sentiments on
that night!
During the three days Of Carnival
public entertainments have been given
by the Department in celebration of
TIE glorious victory of Ayacuch. We
will not attempt to describe them, not
only because it is difficult To do so pro-
perry, but because people are so much
guided by their own feelings on such
occasions; for ourselves we were
much amused, and those who have not
been so also must only blame their own
apathy s. GOODNESS of disposition"
Iron Notwithstanding the advance
which has taken place in the price of
pig iron, within the last IL months. an
addition of los per ton was determined
upon at special meeting of the %associ-
alton of iron masters of Yorkshire and

2lst Feb.
The silk trade was making rapid pro-
gress.-The Stockport Avertlser states,
that a factory for the manufacturing of
silk is building at Sandbeach, which is
three stories high, and 800 feetin length.
The Hull Packet in abiding to the
state of the country remarks that there
is at present a greater demand for cot
ten goods than all the English and Scot
ish manufactures, together with all the
advantage Of machinery, experience
and capital can supply.
