LATEST FROM COLOMBIA

baltimore, Oct II-By the fast sailing
schooner Abarills, Captain Edwards, in fourteen
days from Layguayra, we have received letters to
the 10Th oil September. The reports in circulation
at Caracas, as mentioned by the last arrival from
Colombia, respecting the flight of Gen. Bermudez,
and the arrival Of Bolivar at Bogo,a, are now as
ceItained to be incorrect. Oar correspondents in
LaSura, having neglected TO put any papers on
board the Abarilla for US, have TO make use
exclusively of our private advices for information
regarding the state of parties in Venezuela which,
IRON present appearances, is rapidly approaching a
very important crisis. We have nothing to hope
from the moderation, or prudence Of Gen Paez.
and as the expectation of Bolivar's immediate al,
rival In the country seems to be much alayed, il is
highly probable that some unfortunate act OF rash
ness viii bring the battalion under the command of
Marcero into immediate contact with the troops of
the ReicTmers, when civil war, it is to be APP
pretended, will desolate the farest portions of the
Republic. The large amount of American proper-
ty which would be jeopardised under such circum-
stances, we should think ought to produce atten-
ton to the subject on the part of our government,
and the presence of one of our ships of war at
Lagura, could not fail to prevent any improper
conduct towards our citizens during the prevalence
OF any popular connection.
