tbat 1t IL hardy practicable this season to insist
upon eiecting man for Govern ,r who is unwilling
10 hold the Office. How they are to get out Of their
trouble We are as much pu2z led to kaow as them
selves It also ,lved that the demo coats Of
the Institute should wait upon Judge Douglas,
at his lodgings at the ST. Ndhuios, to nav

sHg REVOLUTIONS u NEW GRANADA AND VENEZUELA.
By the arrival of the new schooner Iva. Captain
Barry, from Ma sibo, We have received a letter
of our cCrrespoI dent at that place, dated ON the
l4th Of July, in which we have some very interest,
ing facts concerning the progress of the revolutions
e New G-anada and venezuels. In the former
place General Melo had routed the government con-
tngents Of many provinces in detail, and o deci-
Gve battle was looked for near Honda. We have
also translation Of an important letter addressed
BY General Manuel Muriiio to the Governor of the
province Of santander which gives clear explana-
ti0n Of affairs in that country.
From veptyue we are informed that Colouel
Juan Ga ces, Of Coro, was in possession Of the
peninsula OF Para guiana, and that five hundred men
lad been sent by the government from Caracas -
attempt to put him down. Notwithstanding the
protacted interruption Of peace, the great natural
resources OF The country prevented any serious In
jury to trade.
NEWS FROM MEXICO.
Details Of news from tie city Of Mexico to the
30sh ut. received. The revolution In Micboa-
can was gaining ground and the insurgents had
captured the town 81 Ltacuro. II is hardly n assi
bic to gain from the Mexican Journals anything
Ike an intelligent idea Of the progress OF thncs In
that unfortunate country; but from the meagre ac-
counts that gwen Of the successes Of the revo-
buticnsts IL Is evident that the disafectiou is in
ereasng rapidly. Everything at the capital was
stagnart.

MISCELLANEOUS.
At two o'clock on Sunday morning eight hundred
Aees Of guDpowder In the magazine at Maysville,

than described" Thirteen houses were demolished,
and an old lady subsequently died Of fright. Our
tekgraphic despateh states that general impre,
sion prevailed in the town that tie "day OF juds.
ment bad come and the sinners about there must
have thought that the Angel Gabriel performed on
. Tremendously loud horn. The damage IL estimated
n between fifty and one hundred thousand dollars
not a cent tco much, considering the magniAcence
q the pyrotschnic display. We anxiouSy await
