take advantage of the American brig Montse-
rate, Captain johnson, to write you few lines and
send you few papors from Caraccas, as we'll Is

You will observe in one of the Rcpu6licamos here
with, statement showing tho curious manner in
which the agents of General Monagas' government
have managed to regulate the treasury out of some
$500 900. The writer Of the articles upon the sub
ject in the Rep.b,eano, demonstrates, with arith-
metica accuracy the singular result arrived at by
the 6nanciers engaged in the Lzarraga and Mont
seratte affair He appears, however, to throw all of
the blame upon the intimate friends or advisers Of
tho President, considering it probably more prudent
to avoid giving direct umbrage to the Chief Of tho
State, who is. it is understood, extremely suscep-
tible TO attacks from Mr.. BruxuRl's paper and
presume the latter would not desire to be cut down
by the sword again, as was his misfortune during
the administration Of General Jose Tadeo Mouagas.
Since that period, Mr. Bruzual has acted with great
caution in his editorial career.
would also crave your attention to the message
Of the President dated April ~ sent to Congress,
Jose Flores. After giving us long rigmnrole of
nonsense, to prove the desire of Flores to convert
the South American republics into monarohies, as
sisted by European despots, Sc. &c., he asks for
Laboratory act Of Congress, as follows:--
Lit Tho number Of troops the executive may call
into service in the Of aggression inva ,on
M.-what hostile act shall be considered decara-
3dwhethor the President shall be authorized to take
the command of the army in person.
Ah-Whnt conduct is to be observed by the govern
ment should 1t be necessary in the of events
march the troops into other countries.
Should General Flores succeed il his enterprise
in Ecuador, and establish himself firmly in the 60
yernment of that country, he would undoubtedly
keep the Harty now predominant in New Gra-
NADIA, in CD nual alarm and CONSERVATION. He
probably would assist the co,sapadorcs of New
Granada in any attempt they might mako to re-
gain possession Of the government. This prospect
in view has created, among the Monagasites, appre
hension Of losing the power they SO ingloriously
WELD. In truth and with justice, you may say that
Venezuela is a republic in name only
Congress is still in session. No measure as yet
has been adopted by that body for the good Of the
country. Whatever you may have heard of rich
mines Of gold. silver, quicksilver copper Sc, is all
fudge and the reports Of their existing are put in
circulation merely for speculative purposes.
Elections for the Vice Presidency Of the republic
commence on the LIST Of August next, and it is un
derstood that Francisco Parejo, young lawyer,
late minister Of the first Monagas will be supported

be no real opposition to his election as the known
wishes Of the President are duly executed.
The Germans did not relish the few remarks Of
your correspondent from this port published in che
HERALD of 18th March last, respecting certain Ger
man trash introduced here. The truth, however
indigestible must be swallowed, as our FRIEND Con-
sui ~" says, without any contortions.
We shall, hereafter, be favored with a commun-
cation twice a week, to and from Laguayra, by
steam-the owners Of the small steamer Bertha
Aorrassowitz, built in Baltimore last year. having
entered into contract with the merchants of this
city, Laguayra and Caracas to keep her running
above stated. Her captain, Conroy, an American.
is very gentlemanly man indeed, energetic, and
deserving Of better situation
The American brig Helen Maria, from New-Y York,
via Granada and Laguayra, sailed from this for
Porto Rico andNew York. on the 18th ulto., in bal
last. No American vessel now here.
Business is getting rather dull, as the coffee crop
season is nearly over.
Nothing further in the line Of news to commu-
nicate by this opportunity will state, however,
as fact, perhaps worthy of notice. that the ladies
are making the most they can Of leap year, in
Porto Cabello, as the dear creatures have man
aged to catch some dozen Of the sterner sex within
their folds Or clutches Let it be so. The vene-
zuelan girls extremely enchanting and to their
immortal honor, q will inform you,) mostly
great admirers Of the Washington Of Vcnesuela,
His EXccllcncy General Paez. This shows more
real sense than exists among portion Of the males,
in political point Of view.
