EXceliency the L;berstor, arrived in that city
the Sth OF The same month, with important dis
patches for government and General Paez. This
officer LETT Lima, understand, on the 81 Of
June, and proceeded from Bogola without Joss OF
time, to the head quarters OF General Paez The
Republic will await the result OF this comu.unica-
uon wit extreme anxiety. We have unders oud

We learn from respectable authority, tha, Ills
EXcel!eacy the Liberaior has refused TO take part
IN the war now raging between the err pire of
Brazil, and the Republic of Brenos Ayres, and
further, that ii was his design under any rircum-

short ened indeed we have seen letters from Be-

date, lie was supposed TO be in Panama.

In consequence hereof, several remarks were
