Late and Important from Cotombia.--By
the Gertrude from Porto Cavello, gentle
man of this city has received a letter from
Ia fr,.,,I nv n ii - al q
0a1pber, communicating the important in
Snigence that Paez is retracing his steps,
and that the insurrectlonary movements in
Venezeula are about to subside of their
own accord, without even the interference G
OF the General Government. We arc o.

"Great changes and for the better have
taken place. The leaders and promoters
Of the faction are by their recent acts con-
vinced that the people are not to be ruled,
or even urged into cipil war and that their
. devotion to them is not absolute as in the

purposes that deputation of three of the
most respectable men Of Caracas, be forth
with despatched to Bogoia, humbly to re
present the wishes of Venezeula; in short
TO place things as near as possible as they
stood ere this unfortunate event took place.
al this has been done, and the consequence
is, s,conhdence is about to be restored. We
certainly consider the affair entirely at an
end. So far as concerns the power of the
general government over this district, Boil
ivar is absolute in the hearts of the people.
We have certain accounts of his be ing OH
his way, and from what has taken place in
affairs, and the great intimacy that subslsts
between General Paez and Madame Boil
var, some of the wise ones augur, nay as
sert as a fact, that Paez and Bolivar have
perfect understanding--but that great
sacrifices are to be made-namcs are men
toned, &c. Upon this we are silent, con
graduating ourselves upon the happy ter
n,aation Of this -sfair.----
