From Venezuela.

Constitutional order and authority are para
mount in this republic but the Great Bolivian
Society has been established. The society's
object and views are promoting the election of
General Tadeo Monagas as President: thus
confirming the rumors which for some time past
have circulated. that the family of this name is
doing everything in their power towards cstab-
fishing dynasty in their country. One would
imagine from this that dynastical ideas are rife
amongst the Hispano-American States Santa
Anna in Mexico, the Monagas family in Ven
ezuela and General Flores in the Ecuador all
are trying to convert the presidential chairs into
thrones in their respective countries For some
months past the theme has been harped upon,
and though Dame Rumor sometimes tells fbs,
yet very often she is righteous verrons.-

9 A man named Alexander Hamilton
third mate on the steamer California, was
shot dead in San Francisco on Saturday
night last. He was met by two men and
two women. One of the men, Mexican,
assailed him with opprobrious language
and struck him. While they were scuffling,
the American shot him, the ball passing
through the heart, and lodged in the back
bone. There was some difficulty with
some Mexican passengers at Toboga, on
the last trip of the California, which Is
supposed to have been the cause of the as

Bag BY the arrival of the steamer Ere

reported at Port Oxford, by persons of un-
questionable veracity, that on the 1st in
slant, party of about SO miners attacked
and burned an Indian village, at the mouth
of Coquillo river, killing l 6 persons (among
whom was one woman) and wounding sew
eral others. This act was committed in
consequence of some depredations by the
Indians on the whites, and fears, on the
part of the latter, of still further outrages.

From Peru.

The news from this Republic is more unsatis-
factory than ever. Don Domingo Elias whose
attempt in the north was put down, has made
his appearance on another part of the coast. at
lea, to the south of Lima, and this time with
better success, as he has succeeded in revolution
izlng the whole province of that name, and it is
rumored that the Commander-in- Chief of the
naval forces is not unfriendly towards him.
1t is said that Senor Osma, the Peruvian
Plenipotentiary at Madrid, had negotiated
treaty by which Spain recognizes thei Peruvian
independence, (rather late in the day we should
say,) whilst Peru obliges herself to indemnify
the damages and losses sustained by Spanish
subjects during the war of independence, which
obligation involves the payment ofa trifle some
thing like THIRTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
From Uruguay
The intelligence from this Republic is not
devoid of interest. The fears entertained of a
ministerial change had been realized. Senores
Juan Carlos, Gomez and Lorenzo Battle, had
resigned their portfolios and Government had
replaced them with senior Juan Jose Aguiar
in the Home Department, and General Henri
que Martinez in that of War.
The new Home Minister had addressed cir
cular to all the head provincial authorities,
ordering them to take up and send to the Cap
ital every individual who should attempt to
disturb public order.
For some days previous to these adyices,
the emigration from Montevideo was very
large, and could already be counted by hundreds.
The last three vessels arrived at Buenos Ayres
had brought 25O passengers from Montevideo
