My DEAR FRIEND =
Since my last letter. the Congress of Vnezuela has
passed law stating that the remains of Bolivar shall
be sent for and brought to his land of BIRTH you are
aware of, | suppose, that this great man died and
was buried at Santa Martha New Grenada) Three
| Commissioners will be sent to the spot TO receive
tae remains and accompany them; they are-Gene-
raj Mariana MoEtila, the old General Marques del
| Toro, and Doctor Jose Maria Vargas, his second
testamentary trustee; they will start from La Guayra
the first of November next. The French Charge
d'Ahdirs as soon Us the law passed. offered French
frigate proceed to Santa Martha and take the re-
| mains of the "Lbertador." His offer was received
with the utmost gratitude, but the Government had
decided that national vessel of war should perform
| that duty, and IN communicating this arrangement
| answered the French Charge dAfairs that Vcnezuc
la would see with the utmost qualification and plea
sure, that the flag which covered the rests of the
great Napoleon TO his native land, should also Join
| and accompany the Republics flag on the great
! occasion of the return Of the rests of the
| great Roliyar TO his native country. The French
| Charge d'Afiairs, Mr.. David, has written in con.
sequence to his government so TO get vessel of
war here for the first of November and the Govern
ment and people Of Venezuela are preparing for the
great occurrence, which Will take place in Caracas
at the latter part of December of this year. The
law passed Congress without discussion and the
| votes were unanimous For three day the city was
| Illuminated
Thus justice is rendered at last to Bolivar after
many years OF passionate injustice and ingrattude
| TO himself and TO his memory. He was great man;
his mind was the most elevated and the most active;
he never abatcd in the greatest msfortunes nor
inactive when victorious. He never had cent nor
! pair of brceches of his own, he would divide be-
tween his companions and friends his last cent and
although he received immense sums from Peru and
Bolivia, he left only but small private fortune-hs
generosity was that of prince, mean prince of
the good old times or like Napoleon, for the princes
of the present time more like shavers than any
thing else. Bolivar, in fact died like Napoleon full
oflove Of his country and praying constantly for its
welfare, and full of afiliclon for the njusces ex-
perenced from his countrymen. As have told you,
| am collecting all about this extraordinary great
man. and you shall have soon another letter from
me-
a dreadful act took place lately in the Province
Of Guayana belonging TO this Republic, in the city OF
Barcelona. General Here's the Governor, was shot
III his paIor through one Of the street windows by
assassin whilst conversing with the old Bishop of
Iricala. He was fred at with bub,uk received
two shots his left side and had also his left arm
10 him and amputation Of the arm performed, but he
died the next morning al ten O'Clock. The murder
took place atnafpaa eight o'cock the previous
ing The general was smart and exemplary man,
very much regretted by his friends. Two thousand
persons attended the funeral He very strict IN
the performances OF his duties; by his energy and
intelligence restored the financial state of the Pro-
vince of Guayana, which was abandoned for MANY
years before to conrabandists, and the Province
which had to receive supply of funds for its sup
port, has arrived under his activity to dispense
from that supply and gives balance to the Central
Treasury of the Republic. 1t is reported that Gene
raj Here's, who has left an amiable and large family,
knew his murderer and told his to his afflicted
wife, begging of her not disclose it, and pardon
ing the horrid assassin. Many attribute the act to
private vengeance, others to political parties, and
think it best and proper to wait inquiries ofjustce,
| the government having taken active course to
find out the assassin.

venge of law, and disposed to help the government
| in the fuhment of this great duty. Guyana was
| divided into two great political parties. excited by
| the approaching election OF new president Gene
| raj Here's represented one Of the parties and his
| enemies the other. The General was firm and full
| of energy in his acts, and this created many enc
| mics to him from those who were not accustomed
/ to obey the laws OF the republic. With those he had
| no mercy, and his natural military temper did not
| permit him TO bend in any circumstances and less

and TO his honorable course Of having the laws
obeyed and respected His enemies believe, could
not reproach him for other thing, for his int z
| rity and honor were well known. The excitement
| produced at Barcelona by the murder committed,
determined the executive to send some troops TO the
| spot under the brave and firm old General Urda-
meta but the General refused the troops and started
alone, and nothing more but an excitement and
| a division of parties had taken place. II Is believed
that General Urdancfa's energy, talent, prudence
| and bravery, will soon restore peace and conf
| dence. This has been new occasion to show the
strong desire and love OF tranquility and peace which
animaesthe actual population Of Venezuela and
believe that every thing will 90 on quietly again.
| Another strange occurrence TOOK place IN this
city, on the night OF the 18th OF March last. Mr..

years, educated in the United States, but creole

years go had for many years killed daily from five
