weighed anchor, and stood cut TO sea. After a

On our arrival We found that the reyolutionlsts
bad taken formal possession of the city, and estao
listed entirely new stem of government IN the
Department of CaIthsgena. The city Was under
martial law, the citizens we're under arms aud in
telligence from Bogots, announcing the approach
OF large party of Government troops to quell the
rebellion, kept the minds of the people in constant
fear. Though invested with discretionary power
in prolongiDg our stay here, our commander could

There is evidently latent spirit of rebellion ex
listing Il roughout the entire republics of New Ora
DADA and Venezuela, though it has not been AS yet
go plainly MANIFESTED in the vicinity OF three de-
partmrnts OF @-Grsnaca, VIZ: Carthagena, Santa
Martha aud Savsnila; but there is every reason to
believe shat this feeling Of revolt Is even further
disseminated than is generally imagined by the
Government aud, If unchecked, will eventually
overthrow the present Administration.
The course the Carthagenians have pursued lat
tery cannot but be sppsuded. Co opeled TO sub
nit to the tyrsony of party Of avaIclou' ohclsls,
forced upon them by tie Central Government,
though they had repeatedly demonstrated. they de-
teInned to throw of the obnoxious yoke, and the
result YOU know. 1t must however, be under
stood that with the exception Of the change OF City
Government, nothing further has been done. The
revenues have not been tampered with, aud will
not be- if the President does not assume hostile
bearing toward the sgenians but permits them
| to govern their own city.
From " hat we can learn, the President at BOgOta
! has ordered large party of troops to proceed at
OIL &C 10 the scene Of rebellion and teach the peo-
| pe submission" OF course there are various
! views as to- the correctness Of this report. My
| impression is that il is, most decidedly, cOnsum-
mote piece OF bombsst. Bogota lies in the interior
| several hundred miles on the eastern side OF the
Andes; and the passage of this chain of noun
| tsns, as We'll US the ascent of the slcky
MSgdaena River, presents no slight draw
\ back to the enthusiasm Of tho govern

is that tie city has been put in complete state of
defense and should the BOgOta soldiers attack
it, they viii meet with most vigorous aud deter
ned resistance While this state of things exists,
We must remain here to guard the persons aud
properly OF our citizens.
