ciprocate to Americans the treatment he had |
received here. He added particularly to Mr..
Buchanan, that he was deeply sensible Of the
testimonies Of sympathy accorded to him by
the President of the United States in person.
The answer Of the President was happy and
appropriate to the occasion, both in feeling and
expression. He said that he was glad to recoe-

pion Of liberty, who had sacrificed his own vel.
fare in the defence of good principles and
institutions in his own country; that in his

ness and success that under such an eminent
leader, he entertained no doubt that Venezuela
would DO prosperous and happy; and that in
| case OF any difficulty occurring with the United
States he doubted not it would be amicably set
| tied. The President concluded by saying to
General Paez that with all his heart he wished
him long years of happiness as just retribu-
ton of his sufferings and exile
A national vessel was rendered afterwards
to General Paez, to convey him to Venezuela.
He left New York with the intention to be
back there in two or three days, but now we
hear that he will stay few days more in our
city. General Cass entertains him with din.

gallant warrior. Brave as the most brave, he
is a modest, benevolent man, and particularly
entitled to the sympathy and regard of the
American people, as the champion of civil prin.

Mr.. Rojas, president of tho commission sent
to convey him to Venezuela, is we'll known as
his best friend, tried during all his days of

versant with the English language, and with
American institutions.
