LATE ANTIGUA PAPERS.

LATE ANTIGUA PAPERS.
From the Norfolk Beacon Of January 1o.l
By the British brig Strabo, Captain
Aud, in % days from Antigua, we
have received from our attentive cor
respondents, the Editors Of the Week
" Register, a file of that paper from
9Th November to 9TH December inclu-
sive. We make the following extracts:
COLOMBIA.
The Guiana Chronicle of the 9Th of
November says-"We have received
Caracas papers to the 2sth Septem-
ber-their contents are highly impor-
tant. A law regarding Church patron
age had been discussed at great length
by the Congress of Government at Boz
gotta, which was finally passed In favor
of Colombia. The following remarks
are from the Colomb,ano OF the above
date, and the Correo de Bogota of 9th
August.
owe call the public attention to the
proceedings of Congress which appear
in this days paper, respecting church
patronage. The debates on this ques-
ton have been animated and learned in
proportion to its magnitude, and the re-
suit has destroyed a hydra-headed mon
ster, fraught with all the powers of pre-
iudice and bigotry, to overwhelm our
liberties and independence. We ven
ture to assert that experience will prove
that the Congress has never before
passed so important a law; one which
involves SO Immediately in its conse-
uuenees, the welfare and even the dura-
bility of the state. Like the key stone
of the arch, it cements the building; and
without it there would be neither SYM
metry nor strength We may now in
deed for the first time be called free of
all foreign government and intrigue
The Corrso de Bogota of the 9th Of Au
gust has the following sensible passage
on this happy event:
"NVe congratulate, however, the late
Legislature and the country, on the law
respecting church patronage. After
having had so many errors given to us
as dogmas of faith; after the servile
and degrading doctrine which has been
preached to us, in order to render us
tributary to foreign power; after hav-
ing witnessed writings in which igno-
rance Joined with ingratitude has made
a display of an over refined mountain
spirit it was to have been apprehended,
that the subject of church patronage,
with all its ramifcations, would have
continued involved in obscurity and
doubt; with clergy independent OF the
Republic, and forming state within
state; and, in short, anarchy triumph
ing over the constitution and the laws.
But fortunately it has been otherwise;
and the country is advancing in the
completion of its institutions, in every
sense of the word. Time, and time
only, can make known the great advan-
tages which must result from the or
ganic Ia,o respecting the clergy and &C.
clesiastical affairs. =
We haye seen letter from gentle
man at the seat of the government Of
Colombia, dated the 18th October, stat
ing that foreigners of every description
had been compelled to enter the Mill
tia, and were trained in the most rigid
manner, in consequence of an expect
ed attack from the Spaniards. The
same letter also states that President
Bolivar had gained considerable advan-
tages over the Royalists in Peru.

The message which was delivered IN

information necessary to enable the

agreeably to parliamentary rules, taxi

thus to dispose of it. The parliamen
tary rule was, that each House shoult
act for itself; and as his object was, Il

ously by making the reference to Sc
