Most esteemed Liberafor:-At present separated as

During the proracted period OF our revoluon-amidst
the vicssit'des OF war, and the ucuation of public
opinion, you have always proved yourself to be the in

eminent services Tor the cause of emapcipation-
TOW often have you rescued your country from destruc-

hemisphere, and appeared TO have rrevocaby fixed the

feelings Of North America towards a sister republic
were properly represented The revolt Of the traitors

C0fombid.-We gave yesterday a hasty summary of
we late events in Bogoa, by which II appears that al
ough the country IL for the TRANQUIL il is but
me calm which precedes storm. Ignorant and amb
tious chietans are struggling for power, and with
uper:iious and nneducated people, and infatuated
mon IL Is scarcely possible to conjecture what the re-
suit will be- We consider il almost impos ble for the
existing government to adhere together for a month
and what then! Can they find among their public men
second Bolivar to step forth in the hour of danger
and save the people from themselves? or il thew do

Bolivar left Bogota on the 9th of May and from that
time the Santandar party-among whom Augustus
i,eaho, oil New England, and who il well known in

means mat ingenuity could devise TO bring from obscu

cuseu oil being engaged in tn conspiracy gans the
NE oil the Lberaor, and after careful aion of
me matter, vas convicted and condemned 10 death
DohVar gave him his lie, but he could not give him
ei,her honesty or gratitude, and he has thus again
taken part in every cabal that has been formed against
MS Deneiacor. No one believes that Venezuela will
conform 10 the new order OF things and Msgdaiena and
the whole south are in the same stu alton So weak is
