FROM COLOMBIA.


We have received our private advices from
La Guira and Caracas to the ID Of April, frsm
which we learn that Bolivar's decree respect
ing the payment Of duties at the house,
are enforced with the utmost rigor, and those
merchants who were not enabled to comply
with the acquisitions Of the mandates, have
been incarct rated in rather uncomfortable ST.
tuaions The sensation produced by the sus-
pension of the Wales is excessive, and the mer
chants have determined not TO submit to the
present state of things, but - suspend their bu-
siness, close their stores, and go to prison, by
which the government, will see the impraclica-
biity Of enforcing its summary proceedings,
and will, in all probability, relax the system in
extreme cases. The above is the only para
graph respecting commercial matters which
we can CLEAN from the letters Of our correspon-
dents, and they are nearly barren of political in
teligence, merely detailing accounts Of the ex-
ecuton of culprits for various murders and rob.
berries. and the infexible determination of Boil

Capt. Jones also states that the missionary
efforts under the superintendent of the Rev
H. Bingham, at Woahoo, have succeeded far
beyond the fandest hope Of the most sanguine
philanthropist-many of the nations now be-
ing able to write, and most of them can Rad
the scriptures, which have been partially trans
lated and printed, (by the American missiona-
ries,) in their own language. Thus do we see
that in less than seven years since the first mes
sengers of Christianity arrived at the Sandwich
Islands, the whole population have not only
embraced, it, but they have evinced an earnest
in their profession by destroying their idols,
and abolishing all their former hea,benish Ger
emonies!
Captain Jones has effected some friendly ar.
engagements with the Kings and Chiefs Of Ota-
heite, and of the Sandwich Islands, whereby
many of the evils complained ofby our coun-
trymen engaged in the whale fishery and COM
merce of the South Sea, are removed, and
guarded ag ainst for the future The officers
and crew ofthe Peacock, were all in good health
* spirits, highly grati6ed with the ser'ice they
had been engaged in, and expected TO find their
relief at Callao, and to return to the United
States early in the ensuing autumn.-Com .4dv.

marine intelligence will be found under the
proper head.
Can't. Bowers lief: at San Bias the U. States
sloop of var Peacock, Capt. Thomas Ap. c

The Peacock left Lima in May, 1926, on

Otaheite, and other Of the Society Islands, the
Sandwich, and some other islands OF minor I'M
portance in the North and South Pacific o.
ceans.
The Peacock left Woahoo on the 9th OF JAM
last, where she had passed the three previous
months, Capt Jones, and the Officers OF the
Peacock, speak in high terms of the peaceful
and friendly department Of the nations OF the
Islands visited by them, and more particularly
