FROM COLOMBIA.
Carthagena papers to the 18th October have
been received at this Office.
From EEL Cometa Mercantil'' Of the 18th we
translate the following document:
DECREE OF THE EXECUTIVE POWER.
Francisco De P. SANTANDER, OF the Liberators
of Venezuela ann Cundinamarca, honored
with the Cross Of Boyaca, General of Diyi-
sion of the Armies of Colombia, Vice Presi-
dent of the Republic charged with the Exc
cutive Power, sc. sc.
The government having been informed OF
the death of Thomas Jefferson and John .Adcms,
ex- Presidents of the United States Of 9aerica,
members Of the first federal congress, and firm
and enlightened sustainers Of the Declaration OF
independence, who died on the 4th of July last,
on the 6ftielh anniversary of that declaration:
and it being incumbent on Colombia 10 give
proofs Of the respect due to the virtues Of those
two distinguished magistrates and benefactors
of the human race, and Of the esteem it has for
the eminent services with which they during
their administration exalted the glory and fell
city Of the first sovereign state of emancipated
America: and
Trusting that all those who appreciate their
virtues and their heroic efforts for the public
consequent on so great loss
DEGREES.
Arr. l. The army and navy Of Colombia Shall

and the decree in this matter, for three days az
ter that in which the decree shall be received
Art 2. For the same time all the public Off
GERS of Colombia shall wear knot OF black
Grape on the left arm.
Art 8. The Secretary Of State in the Depart
ment of Foreign Affairs, is entrusted with the
duty of communicating this decree.
Bogota, Sept. 22d, 1896.
(Sgned)
FRANCISCO DE P. SANTANDER.
For the Vice President entrusted with the
Executive Power Of the Republic.
The Secretary Of State in the department of
Foreign Affairs,
(Signed) JOSE RAFAEL REvENGA.
The papers also contain communication
addressed by the Secretary of State for the in
terror, to the Intendant of Guayaquil, in reply
to the wish expressed by the municipality of
that department, that the constitution of Co
lombia should be Immediately revised.
In this document the Secretary, speaking in
the name Of the Vice President, declares that
only the department Of Venezuela and a small
part of the province of Apure, whose total po-
pualon hardly amounts to $4,000 souls, being
but one seventh part Of the population of CO.
lombia, have Withdrawn their obedience to the
government Ought therefore the rest of the
republic to consent that fundamental law
should be violated?
Much praise is bestowed on consolidated
form of government, and the federal system
which Guayaquil desires, is denounced as hav-
ing been proved by fatal experience in New
Grenada and Venezuela, to be essentially weak.
1t is further declared that the Vice President
in asserting to revision of the constitution, in
anticipation Of the time originally agreed upon,
would violate the most sacred oaths and duties.

POETRY.

The following is translation from an ancis
Spanish Poem, which, says the sdinour
Review, is surpassed by nothing with VIII
we are acquainted in the Spanish languas
except the Ode of Lewis de Leon.
Oh. letthe soul its slumber break,
Arouse its senses and awake,
To see how soon
Life like its gloriss gLdes away,
And the stern footsteps of~decay
Come stealing on.
And while we eye the rolling tide,
Down which our flowing minutes glide
Away so fast;
Let us the present hour employ
And deem each future dream aloy
Already past.
Let no vain hope deceive the mind
No happier let us hope to find,
Tomorrow than to-day;
Our golden dreams of yore were bright,
Like them the present shall delight
Like them decay.
Our lives like hasting streams must be,
That into one. enguliing sea,
Are doomed to fall
The sea of death, whose waves roll on,
DER king and kingdom, crown and throne,
And swallow all.
Alike the rivers lordly tide,
Alike the humble riv'let's glide
To that sad wave;
Death levels poverty and pride,
And rich and poor sleep side by side
Within the grave.
Our birth is but starting place;
Life is the running of the race;
And death the goal;
There all those glittering toys are bought,
That path alone, of all unsought,
Is found ofall
Say then how poor and little worth
Are all those giittering toys of earth,
That lure us herel
Dreams of sleep that death must break,
Alas! before it bids Us wake,
Ye disappear!
Long ere the lamp of death can blight,
The cheeks pure glow of red and white
Has passed away;
Youth smiled, and all was heavenly far;
Age came and laid his finger there,
And where are they!
Where is the strength that spurned decay,
The step that rolled so light and gay,
The hearts blithe toner
The strength is gone. the step is slow,
And Joy grows WEAKNESS and woe
When age comes on.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
From the Ne,o- York Spectator,

GREEcE.-The Information from Greece is
of Joyous nature. A corps Just organized,
of Cephalonian and Zantiote soldiers, to the
number of 500, has joined the Greeks at Nap
oil. 1t is said that Ibrahim, counting much
on the reported divisions of the Greeks at
NapOli, advanced upon the city, but was mot
by Greek troops pouring in from all q,lartsrs.
An ambush was laid for him in the defiles Of
Parthenia, which cell upon his troops, put them
in confusion, and OBLIGED THEM TO
RETREAT WITH THE LOSS OF
THREE THOUSAND MEN, AND ALL
THEIR BAGGAGE AND AMMUNITION,
to Tripolizza., The Greeks have laid siege to
the latter place, and it will be his special good
fortune If Ibrahim can escape to his own for
tressess. Such is the statementag we And it,
and euch all win hope may DO true. AZ q
balance to this. however, it is said that the
island Of Samos has been compelled to sur
render to the Captain Pacha the report,
however. is not very direct, and there 10 good
cause to doubt its veracity.
Letters from Napoli state that the battle at
that place occurred on the 18th, and that the
remnant Of the immortal garrison Of Misso-
Ionghi was actively engaged in it. 3
While Ibrahim marched on Napoii, Res
child Pacha attacked Athens, but he was re-
pulsed by GOuras, and obliged to retreat.
With regard TO Samos, another account
says The division Of the Greek feet which
was before Samos, had burnt Turkish ffig.
ate and two corvettes, and obliged the Cap
tain Pacha to give up his enterprise against
this island. A second division, composed of
- vessels and 6re-ships, has just Quilted the
port Of Hydra, and directed It's course towards
Smyrna, for the purpose Of meeting the Tur-
kish feet, which was supposed to take this
direction after the attack on Samos. Hydra
Is well fortified. Col. Fabvicr, with his regu-
lar troops aswell as the Cranidiotes and Pore
otes, are in this island. Thus the Greek Aeet
may scour the Archipelago, and follow the
movements Of the Captain Paeha, without
the least anxiety for this island, which con-
tains within its precincts the families Of these
brave sailors. a5+
All Greece is now 10 motion. This month
and the next viii decide her fate, and we hope
that she win come out OF the struggle tsiunn-
phantly. There are no Turkish troops either
in Thessaly or Epirus, and we hear ofno new
enrolment in any quarter.
Letters from Salonica, state that the
Greeks of Cassandria have risen again aud put
to death all the Turks there, in number about
500.
Extract of private letter Of the a5th Aug.
from Constantinople :-Seven members Oftke

rapher of the empire, have been executed,

prevent Placartls from being posted up to re-
vile the Seraskier on account OE-his low birth.

DISTRICTING.

Of friendship for the measure, which We are

turn out utterly unpracticablc; and If moi, will
at all events let in many of the evils which are
now the subject of universal complaint. The
constitution, he says, should ascertain the
number Of senators to be elected, and direct
the State to be divided into districts for indi-
viduai senators, and thensconfer the real poaUer
81 distributing upon The Legislature, authorizing
them to settle the districts at pleasure in the
.f1st Instance, and then to nodi and alter them
asany ttne thereafter at their discretion. Now
to this system, we are confident the greatest
rel'ugnance win be felt by large portion Of
tine friends Of districting, and the rejection
therefore Of the measure by the electors, If it
were adopted, would be inevitable.
