The appariiion led him into a magnif

whence proceeded these rayishing

they wera the hymns of the blessed IN

awoke, and the impression of the dream
was dlssIpated by the transactions of
the day. The following night the young
man appeared, and asked whether he
recollected him? The tnelodious songs
which | heard last night, are now bro't

Late and Important from BogOia.-We
have received the Bogota Constitutional
of the Goth September. Bolivar has
returned, taken possession of the Presi-
Dental Chair, and placed himself at the
head of the administration. Great ex-
u~ltation is expressed by the Constitu-
tional at this event, and Bolivar, as u
sual, undergoes another apotheosis.
A private letter from Carthagens, da-
ted the ID instant, says: II am of opin.
that we shall have an Improvement here,
as well in a political, as in commercial
point Of view. Bolivar has again taken
the helm OF affairs in Colombia, with
the confidence, | may say, of every man
IN the country, and feel satisfied that,
in a short time, under his administration,
the credit of the country will be lmprov-
ed, and that both IN and agri-
cultural will revive.
ut is in contemplation at Bogota, to
do away with the atcaie duty-a wise
measure-and in order to make up for
the deficiency in the revenue which
such an act may cause, it is intended to
add an additional five per cent. to the
present tariff"
