Venezuela.

Letters from several sources (says the Journal of
Commsrce) confirm the intelligence OF the defeat
and capture of General Paez by the government
forces under Monagas. This. for the present, will
put an end TO the revolutionary movements In that
country. Paez was justly indignant at the assas-
sination Of members of Congress in their own hall
year or two ago; and attributng il to the secret
agency OF Monagas, although other hands used,
felt himself bound TO come out from his retirement
and put down the tyrant But contrary TO his expec-
tation, the people did not generally the
ment, and after several partial defeats he found
himself obliged to return TO the Island of Curacao
Maracabo still held out for him, at least its for
tress, and he collected small squadron, which he
hoped would be able to overpower that of Monagas;
but il itself defeated and captured in the Lake
of Maracaibo or the adjacent waters. The fortress
of Maracaibo at length surrendered, and SO far as
we know, there remained no organized opposition
to Monagas throughout the republic.
Thus affairs remained until near the close of July
last, when Paez again landed in Venezuela, in the
province of Coro and collecting small force, (re-
presented, prior the defeat, at 900 to 500 men
marched into the interior, hoping to add to his
bers by new recruits The result is told in the ad-
vices whicl'have just come to hand. After tween
gagements, in which he was partially defeated, he
found himself, on the 18th OF August, surrounded
by Monagass troops, and surrendered at discretion.
This affair took place at or near Carabobo some 40
miles back of Porto Cabello. What will be the fate
of Paez and his principal officers among whom are
Palacios and Macera, remains to be seen. Paez
is decidedly the most distinguished man in Vene-
zuela. He is identified with its history; is the most
eminent of its expresidents, and has strong hold
upon the affections of the people These considera
tons, and some others personal to Monagas, may
possibly save Paez from being shot, but, if so, inn
prsonment or Punishment awaits him. The course
pursued towards him by Monagas will have much
to do with the question whether the latter will be
permitted to serve out the remainder of his term in
peace.

they will not assume that consonant letter ex-

an initial only; and they further decided that the
insertion Of an initial letter instead Of name is
ground Of demurrer, and is not merely an irregu-

decided that demurrer 70 the declaration which
described the defendants name as William Henry

MISSOURI PoLITIcs.-The ST. Louis Republican
Of the 29th contains the letter Of Senator D. r.
Atchison on the Slave Question. Il is in reply to
a resolution Of the Platte county meeting, which
requested him 70 give his views in writing on The
questions which Mr. Benton had discussed at JEFF
fsrson City. Mr.. Atchison complies at considera-
bic length, taking the opposite ground to Mr.. Ben
ton, but not mentioning that gendeman's name
once through the whole Of the address
He argues in opposition to the views Of Mr.. Ben
ton, that the Wmol Proviso is in violation of the
Constitution. He contends that all Mexican laws
and DEGREES which abolish slavery were ipso tacto
repealed blythe treaty Of acquisition, inasmuch as
they were inconsistent with the equal rights of the
States and citizens Of the Union. He afirms that
there is nothing" in the Southern Address,
which by torture itself can be construed into
design to dissolve the Union unless, he adds,
Z" the calm and temperate narrative of wrongs in
aicted on the one part and patiently endured on
the other-of good faith violated and reckless as
saults by one portion of the States upon the rights
and institutions Of another all in utter disregard of
the compact which binds these States together, be
called conspiracy and disunion."
Mr.. Atchison contends that the Jackson Resolu-
tons of Missouri are the same in substance as those
previously adopted and obeyed by both Senators,
and reiterates his promise obey them to the letter
pledges himself TO sustain the right ofinstruction
and the duty to obey or resign-and gives a for
midahs aspect to the WiImot Proviso, by declaring
it to be only part Of more extended design, in
volving the abolition of slavery in the District FIRST
and then in the States.
Mr.. Atchison's letter is not marked by much
strength of argument or felicity of style 1t is in
tended properly to define but not TO establish po-
sition; and in that respect it is certainly decided
and Ineligible document. He will vote against,
and resist far he can, at all times the restric-
tons slavery in the territories; but what he pro-
poses to do, willing to aid in dong if the Will
mot Proviso should be adopted by Congress and
approved by the President, he does not say. And
yet, that is the material question, as regards the
effect upon the Union. It is true, we doubt not,
that there was no design to break up the Union ;
that there is, among the members who signed the
Southern Address, predominating anxiety that
the Union shall be preserved But we have not
seen any fair and full examination of tbs position
they expect to occupy if this question, which they
say involves the permanence Of the Union, is de-
cided as they fear. Senator Atohison is no more
explicit on this head than the Address of which he
speaks.
