FROM VENEZ UELA.-A letter dated
Porto Cabello July 10, says, The country is per-
fectly tranquil The active, and al the same lime
conciliaioIy measures taken BY The Government
since The omission Of General Monagas, have had
a good Effect upon the asitated waters. You
have heretofore received information OF The COM
mutation OF Guznlan's sentence Of death into
tanishmen, for life. He left Caracas in June
and is now residing in the Island Of CuIacoa.
In reference TO the discussion in the VcneZue-
Ian Congress last session, upon The proposed
alteration from The specific 10 the al yaloiem
system Of collecting duties, The most able men in
Congress, amongst them Senior Santos Michelana
and Senior Jose vi. de Rojas, advocated an imme-
date change, and there was majority in The
House Of Representatives who would have voted
with those gentlemen, but having had an inter-
view with the ministry upon the subject, (by a
Committee and Observing certain limidily on
their part, or IN unwillinsness TO NEEDLE This sea-
son with matter of so much importance with
out further study or reflection, and especially Of
very critical moment when all the resources OF
the Stale were required Tor the eyisencics Of the
government, moi knowing either what effect !
change would make in The amount Of revenue.
The Ministry prevailed upon Congress 10 postpone
the subject 10 more convenient opportunity
1 have hopes that the measure will be carried
through At The next session OF Congress. The
communications addressed by V. Ellis late u.
S. Charge des Affairs here 10 Senior Marri9uc,
Secretary Of Foreign Relations had powerful
effect in awakening the people upon the subject,
and sincerely believe That had his dispatches
referred 10, remained unpublished, the ad va
loIem system would not have been Lroachec in
Congress.
