 Their navy has been disbanded with the exception of few small vessels, for which they are obliged to press men. We are daily obliged to claim some American, for they pay no respect to country; all the foreign officers have been discharged, with out even their pay; many of them have despaired of ever obtaining it, and gone home; others still wait in hopes. Bolivar says the army must be paid first. Admiral
 Cups has been treated with the greatest inhumanity he has been arrested under the most trivial charges, that the envy of his competitors could devise they were jealous of the glory he acquired by deed which they dare not attempt, and if att tempted, they could not achieve. He was thrown into prison, where he was attacked by disease which nearly terminated his life, and was only relieved at the in'erces- sion of some merchant, who, offered secu- rity to an immense amount. He now re- sides at Florens. Bolivar is said to be his greatest enemy; as he was one of the few who would not acknowledge him as LiberGtOr until the freedom of Peru, was achieved. There has been report that Paez, the General of Cavalry in Co., , lombia, has revolted against the Congress. The troops in Chloe have done the same; in fact, we frequenly hear of these things. l Of Buenos Ayres we know nothing, ex- cept that the Patriots have been success
 P. S. August 3d.--T am glad I did not cal this letter yesterday, as the Commo- lore has just returned from Lima, and has brought us intelligence of very serious ature. The feelings which mentioned n the beginning of this letter as existing a. hong these people, have at length broken ut in very alarming manner. A plot l. as been discovered by Bolivar to assas- mate him and send all the Columbian
 
 fficers and the chief men in the city have cen engaged in it, and about one huudred f them have been arrested and thrown { 1to prison. The affair is kept in as pro- ound secresy as possible, and people are D afraid to talk about it, that we cannot | ather many of the particulars. lt . An officer has just returned from the hore, who states the report of the manner
 was detected.
 It appears that few nights ago, Bolivar woke about midnight, and seeing light /, ] dn adjoining apartment, called to see Tho was there it proved to be servant, 'ho said that being restless he had taken he light, and was about sweeping the oom. This was so unusual an hour that 'olivar suspected Something, and had the. ran seized, who became frightened and the whole plot.
 Arrangements had been made to massa- : re him.. while going to or coming from le theatre, on the night of the 18th of uly. He immediately doubled his guards, nd went as he intended, to the playhouse, 'here he discovered many of the plotters they were seized immediately nd put in close confinement. What will e the result no one can say. But there
 certainly q postentous political cloud anging over this country, which must ( re long burst upon them. Bolivar's con- { uct is, am sorry to say, very much | lestioned by his former friends, who now II onsider him as man of most unbounded mbition. C From the National Journal.
