PORTO CABELLO.
Extract Of a letter from Porto Cabello, dated
April Goth, 1926
"This place will ultimately become
one Of consequence. 1t has very fine
harbor, and an extensive back country,
the produce of which can be transport
ed to it with greater ease than else
where. 1t is at present, however, in
ruins, the Patriots having captured it
about eighteen months ago, after a
close and protractcd siege, during
which more than three quarters Of the
buildings were RACED to the ground; but
they were composed of such materials
that they can be easily run up again,
and they are daily rebuilding. Every
thing here is military, and martial law
is in force; the government are poor,
and absorbed in providing ways and
means for defence and paying the army.
The power is in the hands OF many
persons who are inadequate to the task
of welding it; and the people are Spa
niards, in all their feelings and preju-
dices, devoting large portion OF their
time to celebrating their Saints days,
sc. Many of their first officers, both
in the army and the navy, are blacks,
who were slaves before the revolution;
and the natives from the interior, OF
whom their troops are composed, re-
sembIe the Malays very much in APP
pearance.
This is the naval depot. There are
here at present two sloops ofwar, whose
officers are principally Americans and
Englishmen, most of whom did not
rank very high at home. 1t is a very
unpleasant place at present, there be-
ing no society on shore, except at the
billiard room, Or, on Sundays at the
Cock-pits, and being extremely warm,
the thermometer ranging from IS to go.
The town is situated on level point,
projecting about three quarters OF a
mile from high mountains, and this
gives an opportunity for the sea air to
sweep it, which prevents it from being
unhealthy. A vessel has just arrived
from Europe, with miners and tools
and materials for working the extern
sive copper mines of Arrao, about 60
miles southwest of this place, which
have been rented of the government by
Mr.. Lowry, American Consul at La
guayra, and Mr.. Cochran, the celebra-
ted Pedestrian, who oversees the works.
His wife is from kamptskatka. The
stock of this mine has risen in London
to thirty-eight pounds per share. The
transportation of the materials requir-
ed in the mines, will cost ten times as
much from this place as from Europe
hither"

Extract of letter from a gentleman in Pari:

10th April, 1925.
"Affairs in this country are not 60

out the country, in consequence OF some
late laws, calculated to re-establish the
ascendency Of the priests, and of the

less. BY this dreadful event. The effect

GREECE.
We are sorry to be obliged to an
nounce, on the authority of letters from
Zante, that the probationary struggles
Of the Greek Patriots are likely to be
considerably prolonged, by the disem-
barkation of 5000 infdels at Modon, in
the Peloponnessus, whittier they were
conveyed by powerful Egyptian fleet
Letters Of +he 10Th of March, from
Zante, give various accounts relative
to the Decentralization at Modon. One
is, that the Egyptian force that had
landed there was Immediately cut to
pieces by the Greeks. Another, that
the seige of Patras was raised in con-
sequence of the diversion, and that
the garrison had made a sortie, and
carried in great quantity Of cattle
1t is also stated, that Prince Mavro-
cordato, who had repaired to Napoli di
Romania. had protected two OF the dis
affected chiefs, and prevented them
from being brought to justice: Dis
scnsions are said to exist among the
chiefs; but the whole of these accounts
are said to be so vague, that we place
no reliance on them.
Zante, March 24.-The Arab troops
who were landed at Modon, manure
with their corpses the fine olive plains
of that place. According to all the
letters which we have received TO day
from the Pcloponnesus, they have been
| almost entirely destroyed or taken prl-
soners. The Greeks have made rich
booty. A division of the Greek fleet,
of seven vessels of war and five lire
ships, have shut up the division OF the
Egyptian fleet in the Galph OF Coron,
| and only wait for favorable wind to
send the freships against them. The
President, T. Conduriottis, with 10000
men, is already marching against Pa
tras. We learn, also, that the Hydro
tics having heard Of the arrival OF a
part of the Turkish fleet in the Straits
of the Dardanelles, sent forty vessels to
oppose them. The campaign already
augurs badly for the Turks, and we
may soon expect very favorable intel
ligencc.
TURKEY.
Consianiinople, March 1.-The pub

DAYS by the extraordinary purchases
which the principal English mercantile
house in this port was making in every
direction Of silk, cochineal, cotton, sc.
The Corporation of Turkish Mer-
chants has complained Of this forestall-
ing, which raised the prices, and de-
prived the manufactures of the coun-
try of the means Of working. The go

sion.

Neac York Boot Race. -This interesting trial
of skill, made still more so by the enormous

ANSWER
To His Excelency the Liberator and Presi.
dent ofthe Republic of Colombia.
Senate House, Bogota, February II, 1855.
EXCELLENT SIR:-In conformity with
the communication had the honor to
make to your EXcellency in my note of
the lst inst. assembled the two legis-
lative Chambers on the 9Th inst. al
night, in order TO deliberate in their wis
dom, on the remuneration made by your
Excellency, of the Presidency Of the
republic. The communication Of your
Excellency having been read, and this
delicate affair proposed for discussion,
most profound and dignifed silence
prevailed for some time. This truly
expressive silence, silence more elo-
quent than human language, continued
for the space of fifteen minutes. The
females, and numerous spectators who
occupied the galleries OF the Senate,
were immoveable, and anXiously await
ed the decision of the Legislature.
AT length the question of the retire
ment Of your ExcelIency was put to tie
vote, and l have the pleasure Of an
nouncing its rejection by the 70 mem
bcrs comprising the Congress, viz
81 senator's and 50 representatives,.
Then it was that this amiable people,
this people that adorcs its Liberaor,
could not restrain its transports of JOY.
The clapping OF hands was heard for
the first time in the Chamber. Your
Excellency was cheered with the most
lively enthusiasm, and the Legislators
also were applauded for having mani
tested so correct a Judgment in this
august deliberation. All was Joy, all
was gaiety. The people, Sir, knew not
how to express their feelings OF salts
faction, tenderness and pure delight
In short they proved how precious 10
them,was the father Of Colombia, the
friend Of the human race, in mode as
sincere as it was energetic. Your FIX
cellency would have been deeply al
fected, had you beheld this moving
scene. The cherished, the respected
name Of Simon Bolivar, resounded
throughout Bogota, and the numerous
assemblage Of both sexes, that with
contented hearts crowded the streets,
contributed to the solemnity Of this act
of Congress. There was not an indivi-
dual who did not repose more tranquil
ly for knowing that your excellency
continued in the Presidency of the Re
public.
Such are the events of the memora-
bic night Of The 9Th of Feb. which |
have the satisfaction of communicating
to your excellency.
Your excellency will please to accept
the sentiments of my distinguished
consideration and respect.

discovering much tase and ingenuity,
and exhibiting favorable specimens

critical examination, however, it was

Of execution, and others deficient in

WONDERFUL ESCAPE.

On Saturday evening, an amazingly
big ruflian of an Irishman, most wan
tonly knocked down an old woman III

gainst the pavement, sustained very
severe wound. The fellow fed up the
Horse Wynd, pursued by the watch
man, and ran up common stair, where
from height of three stories, he lcapt
out of window, and descended sheer
upon the roof of a one storied house,
inhabited by an honest couple, and inn
mediately above the head of the bed in
which they were comfortably reposiug.
On hearing the noise, both jumped cat
of bed in the greatest CONSERVATION,
believing the house to be falling about
their ears, and rushed out into the
street. BY this time, the flying IRISH
man, whose feet actually broke through
the tiles, had disengaged himself, and
made his retreat into another land,
through window level with the root,
upon which he descended. This Don.
