Sin: The following is letter from our corespon-
dent from Venezuela, which have the pleasure Of
sending 10 you for publication.
Ia GUIR., Tuesday, Nov. 81, 1854.
"The credit Of our commerce is every day lncreas
ing and lie strength is grounded on the hope that
have secured our peace for length Of time, as the
result Of our last revolution, and under the admins
tration Of General Jose Tedeo Monagas.
"Ihe enemies of our Government indefstiga.
bic in seeking oderen, ways Of doing mischief They
are very busy Just now in inventisg every kind Of
calumnes in order 10 predispose the new President
against tbose mtn who are the most important mem
bers OF the liberal party, and who rendered most i'm
poriant services TO the Republic in the last political
movements; with the intention, no doubt to disgust
those good patriots and TO incline them to withdraw
their support from the present TO the next Admins
traitor. 90 that jose Tadeo Monagas may feel the ef
fects OF these nirigues. Thus see that they com
mepced by slandering Minister Planas, whose ener
gy and capacity for governing has helped 80 much the
actual President in bis efforts 20 save the country from
anarchy and dtspOsm during our last political strug
gle and their attacks not only aimed at the said
Secretary Panas but also NJ those friends Of the lat
Ter who have cooperated with him for the same patr
otcol purpose.
"Tbe impudenco Of the enemies Of the overnment
II so great that here, in LaPuayra, at very short
distance from the ,pal they have invented the very
false news that Mr.. Vszquez "a military commander
who wa In prison Revolutionary mani had been
sssassnated and viii inform you now Whist rs true
about that The Il thai this VsZqueZ ian obscure
man from Barqucimeto raised the standard OF rebel
lion in thst city in last June, and assassnated the
Cover or Of that province and he did the same with
some peaceful citizens Of the same committing every
kind OF outraees This did not last long, for he was
caught aud brought 20 the capital where be remained
prisoner until the god of the following month, when
the fase reports that Gen. Paez was near San Tomas
with an armed vessel enc our aged the prisoner enough
to scae the walls Of the prison he was in, and thus he
mace his escape but in bis flight he was pursued aud
ovtrtaken By tho pubic force in q garden near the
prton, and, as be refused 10 stop and surrender he
FREQ at and thus deprived OF lie through his Own
obshnacy.
The enemies OF the liberty OF Venezuela always
combine their attacks; tins those who are in yene-
zucla invent crimes which they impute to the public
ofcers and SANDER the most conspicuous members Of
the Government party-and those who are out Of the
country do the same through the foreign press with
the object of misleading the public opinion. AS proof
of this, there are the publications we have seen in
The Nr. York E1P,ess in The Ner- York Herald,
and in The Nev. York Tiaes These publications are
inserted in TIE form Of letters written from Caracas
ard Puerto Cabeo and ge kaor, positively they are
manufactured bere-al written by the same hand, and
he who owns that band is an enemy of Venezuela.
The contents of these spurious publications devoid
of any foundation and their aim lie that denounced by
our correspondent at La Guaira. According to the
high position wherein the supporter of the Govern
ment and Of the liberty Of Venezuela stands, the
degree his detractors give to their calumnies The re-
source Of slandering is doubt, very dcspical but
that is the only thing left to the obstinate enemies
peace they Islander their countrymen, discrediling
thereby their native countryi and, as they can.
not oppress her. they wish to get her on fire.
II, by misfortune, the small party of Paez should
ever triumph over their rivals, those good patriots
whom they now assai and SANDER would be the VIC
tins of their fercciiy, The Hon. Azpunna, for in
stance our Minister in this country, to whom his
political enemies can do no other harm now but to
Islander him. would then be one of the first victims,
all his prope ty would be destroyed divided as as
booty among those revolutionary spirits, and his
head would, no doubt be one Of the fst struck off
on the scafold. SEVERAL VENEzUELANs.
