News has been received at New-Yorli by /
The brig Laura, Captain Centre, from Cal 7
lao, very unfavorablc to the character Of
Bolivar. Capt. e. is said to bring ,nforma. !
ton which confirms, almost beyond doubt, \
the suspicious and report that Bolivar had
turned traitor to the cause OF liberty, and was
aiming at supreme power in the countries
he so largely contributed to liberate.
Capt Ccntre is likewise said to report
that about the 5th Sept. Bolivar declared
himself President Of Peru for life, with pow
or to appoint his successor. The Vice Pres
dent was also appointed for life and his old
est son to succeed him. Bolivar was ex-
ceeding!y unpopular at Lima, and the place
was in very unsettled state

Tuesday week, upon the four citizens. Hen

Mowatt and Thomas Hyatt, convicted Of
fraudulent conduct in regard to some Of the

ward remarked -
"Eyen during the trials which have taken
place at the present term of this court, we
have witnessed displays of depravty OH the
part Of the agents of moneyed institutions
of the most appalling nature. AS common
as crimes are in all great cities, yet this
community was not prepared to expect from
the class Of society to which the perpctra-
tors Of these crimes belonged such burst
Of iniquity. These offences have been char
actcrised by the breaches OF official and per-
sonal confidence, by a course OF deception
and misrepresentation long and Systematically
pursued, and by injurious and crafty devices
which no ordinary prudence could guard a.
gainst. Nor was this all. Among the act
ors IN these scenes were some of the princi-
pai agents in the management of moneycd
institutions, and they have been found actu-
II ally combining and conspring together for
The accomplishment OF their neiarious pur-
II pcses.
From conspiraccs composed OF men OF
SO much talent, availing themselves OF their
Nlsh standing, it is not surprising that they
Moulu have swept society as with the be
som OF ofdestruction. When crimes Of such a
character, attended with such destructive
consequences abound, it behoves the tribu-
hals OF justice to gather themselves up to
meet the occasion and to extend as far as
u'Asm lies, the protecting arm of the law
