having no motive OF ambition, did nofSfeouire
any sacrifices from the Bolivisps; that as Re-
pubicans, they disaYowed the IDEA Of ambition,

other wish but TO rescue Bolivia from the yoke
OF foreign domination. The Bolivian Minister,
Senior Malava) in answer 10 this said, that il
the conduct OF Gamarara was conformable to
the principles he had expressed, Heaven would
bless him; but should the contrary be the case,
his memory will be execrated among the Bo
livians tor the misery he would entail on that
young Republic. Gamarara gave short re-
ply, appealing to Heaven 10 witness his since>
rity; adding that,if he devated in the least fro IN
what he had promised, any citizen of Bolivia
was authorised to place dagger to his breast

Sucre was at Chuquisaca, i'll from the wound
he received in the affair of the 18th April: he
addressed long letter 10 Gam arara, da:ed from
tina, city 10th May, saying, tina, his illness dis
abled him from exercising the functions Of
Government, and that, therefore, General Ur-
dninea had been appointed President: tha, the
Boiivians, with the exception Of a few turbulent
persons, or some starving naked wretches,
were generally satisfied with their public insti-
tuuons and situation, being in the enjoyment
OF liberty, independence, and every social guar
antee; and in answer to the assertion that Ga
marara had been invited to Bolivia by some
Bolivians, states that he ISucre) on the month
OF March last year, had received letters from
respectable and influential persons in Peru, in
vitlng him to enter tina, territory; that he bad

personal insults, he would not give The fatal

than that Of the Spaniards, has profansd with
its sacriiigious footsteps the soil in which we
were born: never until this day, has the history

From the Above extracts, it is clear that
great discomfort exists IN Bolivia agains. su-
Gre, not from hatred ,osh{K personally, but
from the joint reasons that he is a foreigner,

the Office of President forsliir, and the dislike
they naturally feel at the presence Of Colombian
troops, and inilncnce Of that nation. The tea-

existing disputes Cen hardly involve this Re-

viduaIs, obnoxious IN the mob; halt dozen
