may be emphaIically said, what Queen Chris

know, don't write, and those who write don't
know" rhe amount of the present inlelli-
gence seems 10 be, that Bolivar and the Con
gress, coinciding with the wish Of the greater
part of the nation, have resolved 10 anticipate
the Contention provided for by the constitution
AT somewhat later period; and that when Boil

by the assent Of this body, he will act with

CARTHAGENA. August l3.
Since my last the prospects OF this country
are brighining. Gen. Bolivar has at last re-
solved 10 take the reins of government, into his
own hands. He left Carlhagena ON the 2s,h OF
July, on his way 10 Bogota TO present himself
TO Congress- and take the oath required by The
Constitution. The bad state Of affairs in the
South OF the Republic, brought on by the inva-
sion OF Bustamanti's division, and the decided
approba,ion his conduct has received from the
Vice President Santandtr, have made il ueces-
sary for the President 10 detach strong force
under the orders Of Gen. Salon against it,
which force has marched from this place, com
posed of The battalion Of Apure, and the three
souadrons Of calvary, 10 wit; Lancers OF Vene-
zuvIa, Hussars ofthe Magt.alena, and Gloros~
os. Granateros, all composing about two thou
sand men. Another strong division has march.
ed from Venezuela, under the command OF
Gen. Paez, and from Maracaibo Gen. Urdane-
"a marches at The head Of another division,
which has already arrived at Cuen,a, OH his
way to Bogota aud the Southern Departments,
The cause OF these movements, and the great
mischief done TO the country by the ,reacher-
ous deeds Of B,.siamanli's division, which alter
having rebeled in Peru, has spread alarm and
disturbances on the Southern Provinces, is all,
indeed. done BY the directions OF Vice President
San,ander, with the intent to make party to
oppose himself TO Gen. Bolivar, and counter
act the PROMISES Bolivar has made to the peo-
ple. that there will be Convention TO reform
| The actual Constitution according to the vii! OF
the majority Of the people. In fact Santander
has worked so much in 1895 and &c 10 be rec
ec,ea Vice Presiden,; that he feels greatly dis
amounted at finding himself hoisled as will
| BIZ the case as soon as the Convention meets
he is so abhorred by all classes, l fancy
he will never again have vote Tor any
public place. The transactions OF the Tor

It's publicly said that he was partner IN this

as well as on the mining transactions belong

friends for trifling per ccntage Santanderi;
perfectly convinced that all these affairs VIII
come to lieh, as soon as General Bolivar takes
the command OF the Executive; the rather
should the Convention meet, as he will be call
cd the re 10 answer for his public conduct during
his dark and ominous administration.
! Such has been his exeriions to oppose NE
will of Congress, that he had formed revolu

House Of REPRESENTATIVES; among them the
