This city was foundedin the year 1870, by Alonzo
Pacheco, ,and has population Of 5000 souls; il is
the capital Of the province Of the name whose
population, by the last census, was 35 sS2. The
province is divided into FIVE eantons, and sub
divided into twenty parishes Vessels drawing
nine feet water can pass The bar, over with
the sea continually breaks. The pilots are
paid salaries, and the custom house collects the
pilotsge. The harbor Is as still as a mill
pond, the couatry fertile around the gulf aud
all perfectly quiet; but there are deep murmurings
in certain quarters and great dissatisfaction con-
sequence Of the appointment Of Gellincau a. SEQ.
retary Of the Treasury-he being a creole of the
island Of Trinidad the natives feel quite indignant
at the appointment. In fact, it has been surmised
that Monsgas may repent az too late an hour
when his administration shall be overthrow
Nothing unliisey and it is surprising the President
has not forethought enough to appoint unexcep-
tionable person. TO office. There may be some paI.
lation, when IL Is known that no honora Die and in.
telligent person will accept ofi,e. The judicial
power Is so corrupt, from the lowest parish Judge
20 the supreme TRIBAL, that very few suits are
entered. The debtors being generally Of the same
political creed with the judge, he will always End
10 let them of from paying their just debts,
and compel honest creditors TO pay the costs, not
withstaE ding the most unquestionabe testimony.
This Is the horrid state TINS country is in at pre-
sent. foreigrers, in particular have no chance Of
obtaining justice AMI ! understant the British |
Bank at Caracas wound up on this account, the |
bank holiing many notes, duly attested By cOmpe /
tent witnesses, but could not safely put them in /
suit on account Of the puir state Of the tribunals
Inc government has appointed commission 10 /
oense me asures 70 increase nnig 10 Venezue
Ia but must fret inspire confidence in the minds Of
Foreigners BY Its judicious acts atd the faithful
admnnuaton Of the laws by It's tribunals; unless /
this accomplished, they may be assured there will /
be no migration TO Venezuela
The government and people are impressed With
the idea that the foreigners residing ir Vsna1usla
enemies TO their Institutions Far from IL; TO-
reigners have deep interest in the urosn.ytv NJ
this country; they have deep stake In H. and are
only grieved at the misrue which is too obvious 10
be mistaken. Without a free p ess, country mus,
be in degraded state IL the acts Of the tribunals
we're reported as In Eng land and the United States
IL mig ht in q measure tend 70 improve the Judicial
proceedings, sy the diabolical acts Of the judges
and ministers Of justice would be continually ex-
posed, and bring shame upon the perpetrators
IL foreigners we're treated With common justice,
and the laws were administered with justice and
equity towards them, and the government acted in
good faith, In fu6lsg their engagements, foreign
es would put their shoulders 10 the wheel, and rem
der their assistance in every possible way TO extr
cate her from her deplOrable condition, and also
their friends abroad would not withhold their aid
rom tnn republic. BY inserting these remarks in
your hsRALD, this government will have an opp,r-
sereo properly would restore her TO q osnd and
healthy condition, and her treasury notes would
