(From Mollien's Trayels.)

The dangers of navigation on some OF
the rivers of Colombia are not little
alarming. When | embarked on the
Dagna, was provided with two negroes
reputed to be excellent sailors, and with
long and narrow canoe. My luggage
was placed in equal weights at each ex-
tremity of the canoe. and three feet were
reserved for me in the centre, merely
capable of containing my half-bent body;
my two negroes, the one furnished with
an oar, and the other with pole, occu-
pied the head and stern of our fragile
skiff. When all was ready and secure
ly arranged, the rope by which we
were fastened to the bank was cast off,
and Immediately we were driven for
ward by the current, with the rapldity
OF an arrow, against natural wall OF
rock, which the waters rushed over
with the most fearful noise. shuddeI-

possibility of safely passing this terrible
barrier; but quicker than thought the
boat was dexterously steered through a
very confined opening, and escaped into
a more tranquil stream. One danger
surmounted, we fell into another as for
midable; we had to descend from the
lofty mountains of the Las Juntas into
the plains which are washed by the
great ocean, and where | tancied that
the river had reached its level, | per-
ceived its agitated waters flowing al
: several feet beneath the place where
, was. The dexterous negro. aided by
t his pole, skilfully avoided the too rapit
4 current of the stream, and boldly thread
ed through the perilous passages be
: tween the rocks, without any apprehen
e sion for the safety OF his canoe. III

LONDON, JAN. s..
1T is currently reported in the city,
that the recognition of the South Ameri-
can States by Great Britain is to be i'm
mediately followed by a similar &C
acknowledgement Of their independence by
France. From the avowed determine
ton Of the French government to con-
cur in the general policy of England, it
may be inferred that the decision of the
British government on point so impor-
tant to the preservation of tranquility in
Europe, has not been taken without the
concurrence of at least the great COM
mercial powers. The die is now cast,
and old Spain may henceforth be consid-
