I LATEST FROM COLOMBIA. The New York
Journal of Commerce contains late adv:ces from
Maracaibo, Bogota, &c. The following letter
is interesting:
MARAcAIBo, Oct. 18, 1880.
Our communication is again stopped with
Bogota, much TO the disadvantage of this place.
| Rio Hache has declared itself in favor of Vene-
zuela. The views of Bolivar can no longer re-
main in doubt that he aimed at absolute pow
er is most certain. A vessel from Curacao be.
longing to Carthagena touched at Rio Hache,
not knowing the change that had taken place.
She was taken possession of and sent here,
where she arrived this morning. There was
found on board of her, confidential correspon-
dence from many of Bolvar's officers at Cura-
Goa, who were sent there in the hope of maxi
ing revolution in Venezuela in favor of Boil
var. One letter from Gen. Brceno Mendez,
(brother- law to Bolivar) says there is little
hope OF efecting change in Venezuela, but
advises him TO have done with the foolish idea
of constitution and liberty, and proceed to es-
tablish his authority by force which advice if
Bolivar follows, it will probably bring him to
the fate of iturbide.
At the date of our last accounts he was at
Mompox, on the Magdalena, on his way to b.
gotta, where revolution had been effected in
his favor, and complete overthrow Of the lib
eral party. The city was besieged20 days, and
in storming the Bridge leading to the town, 300
wero killed Civil war has thus commenced in
this devoted country, and our only hope is, that
1t may not continue. Gen. Urdaneta is at the
head of the Government till Bolivar arrives,
and Gen. Brceno was in possession of the Val
lies of Cucuta. "a
Here all is perfectly quiet at present, and as
this place is important as a key to New Gren-
ada, Paez has sent some of his most faithful
troops, the Laneros, to garrison the place.
They are great rascals, but brave men, and give
much trouble to the citizens.
