.SOlr communication isagain stopped with Be-
uota much IL the disadvantage of this place, and
~ ourselves individually. Rio liache has de-
Jared itself in favor of Venezuela. The views
II Bolivar can no longer remain in doubt; that he
aimed at absolute power Is most certain. A vessel
from Curacao belonging TO Carthagena touched
q, Rio Hache not knowing the change that had
,aken Mace. She was taken possession Of and
sent here, where she arrived this morning. There
vas found on board Of her. confidential .orres-
nlndcnce from many Of Bolivar's officers at Gu
iacoa, who are sent there in hope of making
revolution in Venezuela in favor of Bolivar.
lone letter from General Mendez brother
IN law to Bolivar SAYS there is little hope of Eff
l.c,ins change in Venezuela, but advises him
70 have done with the foolish idea of constitution
and liberty. and proceed to establish his authOri-
~ bv force-which advice. if Bolivar follows it,
viiibring him To the fate of iturdde.
At the date Of our last accounts he was at
Nompox, on the Magdalena, on his way to Bo-
,,ota, where a revolution had been effected in his
favor, and a complete overthrow Of the liberal
marty. The city was beSieged 90 DAYS, and in
storming the bridge leading to the town, 500
were killed. Civil war was thus commenced in
this devoted country, aud our only hope Is, that
ii NAV not continue.

Government I'LL Bolivar arrives, and General
Briceno was in possession of the Vallies of Gu
cuta. Jose Gooding had not arrived there ON the
10Th of Sept. but was daily expected.
Here all Is perfectly quiet at present, aud as

The Llaneros to garrison tie place. -They are

TIE Fatal Dusl We learned some weeks
AGO, that the account of fatal rencontre between
pr. Jaiiries and DR.. Smitb, which we published
some time last summer, and which has been eX
ten>ively copied. was a contemplate hoax, play
ed off upon US and uponthe public. by some idle
wag and we SET about finding him out Ween-
closed the original account of the affair to a gen
,lenan at Ibervi!le in Louisiana, who is acquaint
ed with DIR. Jeifries. one ut the reputed combat
ants. and we addressed a letter also to the doc
tor. to which he has replied. The result OF our
enquiries leaves not shadow OF doubt, that the
a,hor is none other than the raiOrous Doctor

account. was in his hand writing. and he lodged
IT in the Post Office at iberville.-Diotiie Ees.
