From COiumbia.-By the Brig Will
liam, at New York, the editors of the
Journal of Commerce have received a
Maracaibo letter OF Oct. 18th, contain
ing Intelligence from Bogota to Sept.
10Th
Marcai6O, Oct. IS, IS3O.-Our
communication is again stopped with
Bogota, much to the disadvantage of
this place, and to ourselves individual
Ily. Rio Hache has declared itself in
favour of Venezuela. The views of
Bolivar can no longer remain in doubt,
that he aimed at absolute power is most
certain. A vessel from Curacao be-
longing to Carlhagena touched at Rio
Hache, not knowing the change that
had taken place. She was taken pos
session of and sent here, where she ar
rived this morning. There was found
on board OF her, confidential correspon-
dence from many of Bolivar's officers
at Curacao, who were sent there in the
hope OF making a revolution in Vene-
zuela in favor of Bolivar.
One letter from General Briceno
Mendez (brother-in-law to- Bolivar(
says there is little hope of eflecting a
change in Venezuela, but advises him
10 have done with the foolish idea of
constitution ard liberty, and proceed to
establish his authority by force-which
advice, it Bolivar follows, it will prob
ably bring him to tho fate Of Iturbide.
At the date Of our last accounts he
was at Nompox, on the Magdalena, on
his way to Bogota, where a revolution
bad been effected in his favor, and a
complete overthrow ofthe liberal party.
The city was besiegcd 90 days, and in
stol ming the bridge leading to the
town, 300 were killed. Civil War has
thus commenced in this devoted coun-
try, and our only hope is, that it may
not continue.
General Urdaneta is at the head Of
the Government till Bolivar arrives,
and General Bricsno was in possession
OF the Vallies of Cucuta. Jose Good.
ing had not arrived there on the 10Th
of.Septemher, but was daily expected.
Here all is perfectly quiet atpresent,
ard as this place is important as a key
to New Greneda, PaeZ has sem some
OF hIs most faithful troops, the Lane
roS, TO garrison the plaCe.-They are
great ~rascals, but brave men, and give
much trouble to the Citizens. AS for
business, it is at a complete stand. tits
somewhat sIckly.
In coDsequece of,he event in Bogota,
namely, the upsettlng OF the govern
ment, General Bolivar has taken upon
himsolfthe command, civiland military,
unit! a Congress could meet. General
Urdaneta has been named pro TEN, to
manage matters in Bogota, until
Bolirar's arrival in the capital.-Simi-
lar resolutions have been entered into
IN Carthagena, Panama, A%ntioqau, and
other places, the Liberator consented
to put himself at the head of affairs,
and Tor the purpose left Carthaagena
some weeks since, and proceeded to
Solldana, a small town on the Magda.
lena r!ver, where 1t was supposed he
would remian until he learnt the fate
OF an expected engagement at Rio la
Hache, which revolted some time and
joined Venezuela. 1t was thought by
some, that after reducing Rio la
Hache to obedience, the expedition
will proceed against Maracaibo. But
this is mere conjecture, nothing GER
tam is known. Every thing was quiet
at Bogota by the last count No
late news from the Pacific.n
In addition to the above, there are
accounts that Rio Hache had submitted
to the troops Of Bolivar, who had pro.
ceeded thence for M~aracaibo.
We learn also, that there are letters
which state that a new revolution had
broken out at Bogota, headed by Cas-
saida, late Vice President, under the
administration Of MosquIra, who had
taken up arms against Bolivar.
