LITERARY INTELLIGENCE. Colyer, printer in
this city,in conjunction with some Of the publishers
throughout the country, has commenced the publi-
cation of Theirs famous "History Of the Consulate
and the Empire" The first number has been issued
at 12A cents and the work will be completed in six or
eight numbers, at the price. Thiswork has Gre
ated extraordinary sensation in Europe and will
be, confident, one of the most popular publ
cations issued in this country Theirs received
100000 for the copyright from the Partisan pub
Usher, and Cary 81 Hart, of Philadelphia, paid him
thousand dollars for the first sheets. Colyer's edi-
ton is, therefore, what is called "pirated" We un-
derstand that Alison's history Melted the Haper's
10000 not one per cent of which was paid by those
generous publishers to the author. Theirs history
will create profound sensation in this country and
the publishers will probably issue hundreds of thou
sands of copies, and make immense sums of money
by the sale.
With regard to the work itself, we have something
to say hereafter It is a most remarkable produc-
tiod-orignal in the highest degree, and furnishes
by far the most accurate and extensive data which

FROM SOUTH AMERIcA.-The Emma, Captain
Wait, arrived at this port last evening, after pass
age Of twenty days from Maracaibo. We learn
from Captain w. that there were strong prospects
of u disturbance between the governments OF Vene-
zuela and New Grenada, in consequence of dispute
respecting the province of Guajira, both parties
claiming the possession of it, Six hundred troops
had been ordered out at Maracaibo. 1t was gene
rally supposed that the disputed territory would
fall into the hands of the Venezulians, they were
more powerful than their neighbors Of New Grcna-
da. Captain w. also states that coffee was abundant
at Maracaibo at the time Of his leaving.
The SIcILIAN FRIGArE.-The handsome vessel
now lying in our harbor, belonging to the King Of
the Two Sicilies, is now in fine order, and has been
visited by several Of most respectable citizens.
She is greatly admired. The King of Naples has, we
believe, another frgate of the same size, and also
number of steam vessels, which compose his nina
ture navy. Really, this frigate is worth visit.
The BALTnoRE PosrMAsrER.-A few days ago
our Baltimore correspondent made some remarks
about the new Postmaster of that city, stating that
he was wing. We have every reason to believe
that this is an error. Mr.. Buchanan, according to
the best information we have, has been distinguish
ed as democrat for many years, and is deservedly
esteemed for his excellent character in public and
private life. t.EvtE.
