VENEZUELA.
Election of PresIdent-Great Rejoicings.


CARAccAs, Jan 20, 1851.
To he Editors of the Net- York Tribune:
write you this day amid the JOY and happiness
of an enthusiastic people. You are aware that
this was the day appointed by the Constitution
for the meeting of Congress. Both Houses as
sembled at q A NJ. and at 10 o'clock General
JOSE &. MoEAGAs was elected President Of the
Republic, having received 65 votes out of So
Guzman g, and RenooR 7, at the first ballot. AT
ter the election took place, both Houses adjourn
ed, and President Jose Fadeo Monagas, although
he had the power to remain In Office until his
brother should come from his Province, BARGE
Iona, preferred to give the reins of Government
into the hands of Mr.. Guzman, the Vice Presi-
dent and one of the candidates for the Presidency.
He (Geh. J. +. Monagas after a most patriotic
speech, retired from the Government House. ac-
companied by mass of people exceeding 10000.
One of the most interesting scenes occurred be.
tween Monagas and Guzman. You are aware
that the latter owes his life to the former and that
for this noble conduct, Monagas has had to fight
with the opposition of Paez, and at last vanquish
him. Guzmans ambition was so excessive, that
forgetting all his debt to Monagass generosity, he
has for the last eight months been writing against
him in the most shameful manner Monagas had
felt this ingratitude. To-day, as he was about to
leave the Government House, Guzman, in tears,
asked forgiveness for his past conduct, and after
great effort on the part of both parties, Mona
gas rendered him his hand, and they embraced
each other
We have all security now. Trade and indus
try will enjoy the benefit of long peace.
Mr. f. Cowaia, who was lately in your city, has
been appointed Charge d Affaires in the United
States, and will leave by the steamer of ebruary
next for New.York. Yours truly.
REPUBLICANO.

Congress-.

Thirteen days, all told, of the present
Session remain, yet not single APProPri-
alton bill has yet been touched in either
House The Postage Reduction bill has
passed the House, but been reported to the
Senate with several important amendments
which will pretty surely send it back; the
French Spoliations bill has not been touched
in the House; the Board of Claims and
New-York Mint bills have been killed
there; and the House saw fit on Saturday,
after wasting two or three days in irrele
want and unimportant talk, to adjourn over
without taking vote on the River and
Harbor bill. More must be done-many
times more-in the next thirteen days than
has been accomplished in the bygOne eleven
weeks. How can either House consent to
adjourn on a single day without having
disposed of one important bill during the
sitting of that day?

r. The News FROM EUROPE is given
at length in The Tribune this morning.
Without possessing any one fact of absorb
ing Importance it is yet full of interest and
significance. In ENGLAND the abolition of
the window tax is pretty certain to be &C
complished. In FRANCE the President has
in fact triumphed over the Assembly.
Public opinion supports him in the dis
missal of Changarnier, while the GOODNESS
with which it has been carried through,
gives him a decided advantage over the
fussy Legislature with which he had to
deal. He has the better of them also in
the fact that no party in theswhOle body
has predominance over all the others, and
that the various monarchical cliques are
so opposed to each other in their private
interests that any permanent combination
among them other than that against Social
ism is inconceivable. This Changarnier
furry has served an excellent purpose in
making them tell an unusual amount of
truth concerning their places and aspira-
tons, by which the country will profit
In GERMANY things are going on well.
The Dresden Conferences are nearly over,
and their upshot will soon be officially
made public. 1t amounts to the restoration
of the old League with deliberations. In
Prussia and Saxony the press is to be fur
nished with new and more stringent muz-
zles. warmish free trade agitation is
going on in Northern Germany, while in
Austria violent opposition is acting
against free trade even with the States of
Germany alone, which the Ministry have
determined on. From ITALY we have a
renewal of the reported desire of Plus TX
to abandon the triple crown and seek peace
in the quiet of a cloister. In SPAIN the
Narvaez Ministry have resigned, their
chief threatening to blow out his brains if
the resignation was not accepted. This
threat could not be resisted and the Queen
parted with him. The report of Benl's
death is confirmed. His funeral is de-
scribed in another column.
