stood in the barouche of the President,
attended by the Secretaries OF State, OF
Ike Treasury, and of the Navy. After
the review, the General proceeded to

BOLIVAR.

The last foreign papers contain the
following singular circumstance in re-
lation to this distinguished individual;
1t has been already stated in the Co.
lombian papers, that ftco attempts had
been made to assassinate the Liberator
Bolivar. A letter from Bogota, pub
lished in the London journals, says that
this friend of mankind had escaped the
dagger of the assassin, which had been
raised against him no less than seven or
eight times. In the recent secret muir
der at Lima Of MIR. Monteagudo, il was
a%scertained, on examining the body that
he had been stabbed with a sharp In
s;rument. This led to an examination
Of all the cutters in the city, when one
Of them stated that he had sharpened
two poinards at the request Of a negro,

to which effect they were ordered to

Of the Adjutant General. They pre-

as he could not have been discovered

would declare that he had been seduced
to that crime by the Governor OF. the
