iul issue, without entering the sanctuaries the
dead, or narrowing up the private and ,alf oh.
liberated faults Of either of the candidates and
without entering the bed chambers of either Of
the asPirants. The friends of Mr. Adams. in
their career, have been, with but few executions
particularly decorous in their remarks. and e.
WINGED a disposition 10 trea, the canvass f,;r,v
and honourably, and without making an efIor,
to AWAKEN the angry passions of the public
The partizans Of General Jackson, have olwavs
assumed a different kind Of management: and.
confident, that their candidate never can succeed
in gaining the support of the public by his own
merits, they have sedulously endeavoured to
bring his competitors down TO bis level. To
effect an object, to them so exceedingly desira.

CoLombia.-A letter lies before US, written by
an American at Porto Cabello, dated the Gath uit
which furnishes the following information as to the
Liberator's notion of raising the ways and means
to meet the debt Of the country. The extract is
given literally.
"LatcIv Bolivar has laid an Alcavalla duty on
all produce, say per cent. on the valuation,
which is taken from the current sales. He has also
laid tax of $500 on all merchants transacting
commission busness-on all retail dry good stores
one of Sl5O-and on smaller establishments, one
of from 80 to 800 per annum.
These taxes will produce revenue of from
to million dollars. lie has discharged all militia
~ officers oil duty, giving them preference in
civil employments, when they have capacity to fill
them-he has reduced the present pay one half
abolished the reception of Government paper for
season in the custom houses and, in fact, has
made such alterations az will in nine months pay

persons hare been shot in Cumana and 9pure, and
General Paez has carried all before him in execu

The writer Of the above is plain. fair mainland
his statement is remarkable on several accounts.
First. as communicating, we believe, the first
intelligence Of the very decisive steps Of Bolivar
in exactiuy- for So it must be calIed--suppies.
Secondly, as showing, by the natural reference to
Bolivar, and to him alone the author of all mea

LATEST FROM MEXICO


We learn from Mr.. Force, who came passenger
in the brig Conveyance. arrived in Hampton Roads
Yesterday, in % days from Vera Cruz, that the
Congress of Tacubaya had not convened as late as
the middle of April, at which time Mr.. Force left
Mexico, in consequence of the non-arrival OF some
of the ministers. but would probably commence
their session in three or four weeks.
Messrs. Sergeant and Poinsett. ministers from
this government, were in excellent health.
The differences which recently existed between
Mexico and Texas had been arranged. and all ex-
pectation of anarchy arising from the plot headed
by the Friars, had been disappointed
Mr. Packenham had been appointed British Min
lister at the Congress Of Tacubaya. in the place of
Mr.. Ward, who would return to England in a few
days. in the British sloop Of war Tweed, which
would carry large amount of specie on account
of English merchants. A splendid dinner was
given TO Ward, by the British merchants at Mexi-
CO, preparatory to his departure, as testimonial
of their respect.
Mr.. Force states that Com. Porter is held in the
highest respect. and the utmost confidence reposel
in his patriotism and superior judgment in the
management Of the naval concerns Of the country,
not only by the Government, but by all classes of
the citizens of Mexico. AS an evidence of which
a large draft for money made by the Commodore
had been honored with the utmost cheerfulness and
and the Commodore was in possession
OF the money.

Capture Of the Buenos Ayrean Brig Of JYar Pa

Capture Of the Baenos Ayrean Brig Of JYar Pam
para.
We learn from Capt. Heppenstall Of the British
brig Speedy, arrived in Hampton Roads yesterday,
in SO DAYS from Rio Janeiro that the Brazilians
had captured the brig Pampara, which was fitted
out at Baltimore few months since--the captain
of which has been imprisoned, and the Emperor de-
termined to keep him so.
Mr. Oliveira, an officer of the Brazilian SERVICE
came passenger texpress) in the Speedy, and pro-
ceeds for Washington this MOI ming in the Poto-
mac. We conjecture he is charged with some
Communications of Importance to the Brazilian
Minister at Washington.
Mr.. Racquet, Charge d. Affairs of our Govern
ment at Rio Janeiro had not taken his departure,
but would leave there soon for the United States
The u S. Sloop of War Boston. Capt. Haf
man, was at Rio, all we'll. There had been no
recent arrivals from the United States. with the
exception of the brig sylph of and from Baltimore.
Mr.. OIivea states that the account of the general
engagement between the Buenos Avreans and Bra
zans, in the province of Rio Grande, in February,
brought by the ship Moss and published in FRI
days Beacon, is very much exaggerated. lie says
that success declared to the side of the Buenos
Ayreans the two first days. but that subsequent
" the Brazilians gained decided advantages over
them; that instead Of 1900 Brazans being left
dead on the field, as stated in that account, the
number Of killed did not exceed 500.
The nineteen sail of the Brazilian squadron said
to have been captured by Com. Brown in the sea
engagements, are reduced by MIR. =Oliveira's ac-
count, to or S boats, carrying each one gun,
which were so much riddled, from the severity Of
fight, as to be scarcely worth repairing. BY far
the larger part of this otlla was destroyed by the
Brazilians themselves. The Brazilians are repre-
scented to have nailed their colors to the masts and
fought in the most gallant manner. ibid.
