The villains probably got alarmed before they could open more, and they went off no doubt in hurry, as the tools which were used in breaking in, were left behind them.
 The said letters have been received at our post office some of them are much torn. but there appears to have been no money in them.-Albany Gaz.
 Late and Important from COlOmbia.-By the brig Athenian. BogOta papers have been received to the goth of May, and letters to the 2d of June.
 On the 4th of May, the Constituent Con- gress of Bogota proceeded to the very impor- tant business of elccting President and Vice President. The first ballot, 48 members be- ing present. resulted as follows: For Mr. CanabaI, % votes; for Joaquin Mosquera, IT; for Domingo Caicedo, 5. Neither candidate having the requisite majority, (two-thirds,) Congress proceeded to a second ballot, which gave the following result Joaquin Mosquera, 27 votes MT. Canabal, IT {; and Mr. Caice- F. ! lots were returned third time, and on being canyasspd, S4 were found to be in favor fJo- aquin Mosquera, and IA for MT. Canabal.-, Jouquin Mosquerd was then declared to be le- gally elected President of the republic. Dom inigo Caicedo, (the acting President.) was C. 4ected Vice President of the republic, by SS votes out of 48.
 A deputatiOn was then sent to inform the Lberator that the Congress had fulfilled the objects of its convOcatiOn, and therefore that the decree of gath August, 1928. calling them together, ought to cease, as well as the extra ordinary powers which by that decree the Lberator reserved to himself, who nerited the gratitude of the nation for the services he had rendered. After a short absence the deputation returned, and reported that the Liberator had received their communication with the highest satisfaction; that he con graduated them on the happy termination of their labors, after giving constitution to the republic,and appointing to direct its destinies, men who deserve the conidence-Of the nation {; thathe was now restored to private life, which he so much desired and that if Congress wished a special proof of his blind obedience l to the constitution and the laws, he was ready to give any which might be required. MT. Camacho remarked that the republic was in- debted to the Liberator for an immense a. mount of services and that having returned to private life, it was just whether he remain ed in Colombia or left it, tU continue the pen sion which the legislature, on the 2Sd July. 1928, voted him for life. This proposition was entertained unanimously. The Presi- dent of Congress. Vicente BOrrero, then ad- l iourned the session sine die., 1 Relations acith Tenezuela.-RefOre closing Ak ordering that the constitution, as agreed up- laDo, shall be offered to the provinccsof ancient Venezuela. and all pacific means used to in- duce them to accept it. and renew their allegi- ance to the government and that in case Of refusal, the government shall not take meas ures to compel them; but in such case, the deputies from the rest of Colombia shall as. semble, and taking into consideration the cir- cumstances of the country. revise the consti- tuition in such manner as to adapt 1t to the in- terest of the nation.
 BolirGr. 1.-The following extract is from a lettef written by Bolivar to friend of his, while in Carthagena, and expresses sentir ments which will draw forth the admiration of all, and may, perhaps. touch his accusers with regret.
 II have sacrificed my fortune and health, to secure to my country liberty and happi- ness. have done all that could, and have failed in making her contented and happy. now resign every thing to the wisdom oi Congress, relying that it will effect what an individual has failed to accomplish. That civil war. which has stained the history of the South American states, may never be wit messed in Colombia, is my most fervent prayer to Heaven. If to stay this. it is found indispensahly necessary ny the Congress. and desired by the people, to introduce mon- archy, will not rebel against their wishes ; but. remember, the crown never goes on Bolvar's head. I desire repose. and be sure, on act of my life shall ever sully my history, that ifords me so much pleasure to review. Posterity will d. me justice, and an assurance of this is all possess to make me happy My best intentions have been construed to the worst of motives, and in the United States. where Iexpected justice, I have been abused. What havel done to merit this? i? Born to a fortune and every comfort. | now possess nothing hut a ruined constltution.-- Could my enemies have desired more ? and that am thus destitute. is that I have thus willed. The resources of Colombia and her victorious armies have been at my individual disposal. and the consciousness of having done her no wrong affords me the greatest comfort"
 This is the man accused of designing to wear crown. Comment is unnecessary.
