the Republic Of Colombia, in which,
under the authority Of Bolivar, they
were urged to encourage the public ex-
preston otpolitical sentiments and plans,
however bold and exaggerated. We felt
what we did not then suggcst-a suspic-
ION that this exhortation was meant to
produce declarations in favour of the cs-
tablishment oia monarchy. A gentleman
has just placed in our hands the sui Join

Extract of letter from Venezuela, da-
ted Nov. %, 1899, received via st.
Thomas.
"Atfairs seem to have undergone n
change in Venezuela, arising, as it ap-
pears, from an official proposal made by
Gen. Urdlncta, the Secretary of War,
to Gen. Paez, to forward the corona
ton Of Bolivar. The public voice is
raised against the act in Venezuela;
"Death TO the tyrant, death to the crown
long live the Constitution" is the
common cry through the streets. Ii
seems that tbs portion OF the country
will form q separate republican govern
ment. The persons confined in the dun
geons Of Puerto Cabello, in consequence
oftho Bogota conspiracy, have been set
at liberty by tine garrison, and many per-
sons who we're banished f,om the coun-
try for political opinions, have been re-
called by Gen. Pacz. The odious and
inquisitorial police has been abolished,
and the liberty Of the press has been re-
stored by public decree Of Gen. Paez.
You may, perhaps, recollect to have
heard this distinguished officer and true
patriot remark often, that he would fol-
low Bolivar as long as he had no idea to
forming monarchy but that there should
he no cro,rns in Colombia; the time, il
appears, has arrived when they will yeri-
fy his assertions.
