"The political business of Venezuela
goes on very well. BY a letter here re-
ceived, and. in which great confidence
may be placed, we are informed that the
Revolution which lately happened in Bo-
gotta, has been of greater Importance
than was previously supposed. A large
portion Of the Deputies of the admirable
Congress have been killed, and General
Bolivar has been compelled to fly with a
few of his troops. He has taken the
way of Magdalena, intending to fortify
himself at Carthagena But it is here
believed he will not succeed, as the bat
talon Cayao, and another which lately
pronounced itselfin our favor are there
abouts, and have received orders to cut
off his retreat"
The following translations have been
furnished for the same paper.

tirely overthrown. Gen. Urdaneta has

This appears to establish, almost be-
yond a doubt, the truth of revolution
in Bogota, a report of which we have

be anXiously awaited. The Congress at
Bogota had done little up to the date
when this important step was taken
They have been employed, it is said, on
subjects of little consequence.
A merchant at Marseilles has fitted
up steam vessel like a furnished hotel,
IN which he purposes to convey persons
to Algiers, who may be curious enough
to wish to witness the bombardment.
