He peatedy admitted the perfect instiee of li;ssar tenee. He requested him to visit both him ana his wife in the cell, day or two before the ev ecution, when the agony which they both exb;b tied, was truly heart rending, and on the Es. sad interview, their anguish aHd distress wac ;r deseribahle.
 The agony and emotion of this last ntervoru continued until past eleven; he read his bible Tx or 20 minutes-becalne immediately comnosad and soon fell into quiet sleep, ahd was not ais' turhed until ) in the morning, when lie aaa;n arose, dressed himself with care. and resortaa again to his bible.

 Exported Deoih ef Bohpar.-The New York Mercurio of Saturday last contains the follow. ing extract of a letter from Carthagefla. dated the 18th December, which the Editors say js from person of tine highest eredibiIity.
 ssI lament to state that an express has just ar. rived, which Jeff santa Martha, on.the IGthinst, at o'clock in the Sd ....saa genee that the Liberator was dying at the cOm, try seat, called Sam Pedro, having already re- ceiyed the sacraments from the hand of the H. lustrious Bishop of the Diocese. The people are not yet appFised of this melancbolly news.n
 While we hope this intelligence may prove unfounded, we cannot but fear 1t is true For some weeks previous, the health of Bolivar is known to have been extremely feeble-so much so as to fill the minds of lis friends with the' most painful apprehensions. His disorderiS said 10 be the umptlon.-Joau7aI of CouS- naerce.
 The Secretary of War has published an or. der to the Commissaries of the Army and other officers to cease issuing ardent spirits as a part of the daily rations to the soldiers. An allow- ance in money, in lieu thereof, will be made by the subsistence departments computing the value o the whiSkey atthe contract price, at tAe place of delivery. Tine suffers are prohibited selling any soldier greater quantity than two gills a day, and that only on the written permission of
 the commanding officer, and for money, only; none to be sold or issued before noon. Thisre gulation is adopted upon the official statements of Generals, Inspector Generals and Comman- defs of Regiments and Companies, confirmed by the reports of the Medical Staff, who represent that the habtual use of ardent spirits, by the troops, has a perncious effect upon their health, morals, and discipline.
 It is affirmed in a printed letter from Wash ington, that Gen. Bernard, who has sailed from New II ork for France, IS charged with the bu- siness of concilating the favor of the lrencn Government, in relation.to the claims ct our merchants. This is said to be the '.mitin oblect of his mission" We have reason to doubt thaI the distinguished general.to whom this eountryls indebted for invaluable services--has any puohGe mission. He has claims of his own on the ' rehch Government, which, we trust, will be granted. Il is not unlikely that the most tempting oe's of station in the French army will be made . o him by the King of the French, but every el'. Zen of the United Stales must wish that fbeJ may be upavailing, though no one will, have 4 hn accpHfPQ.
