New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1859-11-07
From New Grenada.
Under date of the 18th ult. from Aspinwall, the

Panama Star obtains the following intelligence
News from the State of Bolivar is clearly in favor
of the revolutionists. Adyices have been received
by the Provisional Government at Carthagena
from their forces in the suburbs. We hear that the
troops under Major Cabeza had joined those OF
Col. Padron; that their army after this junction,
was composed of $50 men, cavalry, infantry and
artillery, and that they intended to march Cor
rosal on or about the 4th inst when battle may
be expected by the revolutionary forces intercept
ing in this way all communications between Mos
pos and Corrosal, which are the only two towns
that still hold out for the Calvo party.
Provisional Governor Nieto left for Caamar on
the Goth ult with a force to attack Mompos, seven
gunboats for landing his party, in all 2l2 men, but
on the same day, hearing that contra pronuncia-
miento had taken place ut Soedad, % leagues be-
low and fearing that the force stationed at Barran
quila would not be sufficient for the exgencies OF
the case, he determined to return with his land
forces, ordering his gunboats up the river to re-
main at Magangu6 till his return he reembarked
his troops at Calamar, and that evening landed in
Barranquilla. The Calyistas made no stand at all
at Soledad as they heard Of the arrival Of
these troops they broke and disappeared. Niet0
has offered pardon Gndulto) to all those con-
cerned in this affair who present and give up their
arms, with the exception of the leaders.
Gomas and Nicolas Paz, who are declared out
laws their property is ordered to be coniscated to
defray expenses OF the war.
Nieto left Barranqnilla on the 9Th on his way up
to Mompos again. The General Government have
done nothing thus far to help the State of Bolivar
The firm stand taken by the States of Cauca, Sam
lander and Magdaler not to allow any armed inter-
ference of Federal authorities in questions arising
in any one State, has probably been the reason,
well as the growing disattection in the States of
Cundnamarca and Boyaca, which are very large
States and in the immediate vicinity of the Federal
authorities. Mr. Ospina is preparing for the Storm
He is raising large army. The revolution is i'm
mnent, the two parties, Conservatives and Lib
erals are pitted against each other, so that there
is every reason to expect snch another war as
that which desolated the country in 1910, n
and ~.
The Official Gazette Of the 9Th ult. contains a
decree of President Ospina, declaring the entire
confederation in state of war and placing the
army on a war footing. Another decree declares
the ports of Carthagena and Sabanilla closed until
the establishment of peace, and prohibits any ex-
ternal trade with those ports.
There appears to be great deal of excitement
in Bogota, and little doubt exists that the reyolu-
tionary movement in Bolivar will spread over the
country. The press Of Bogota is loud in its denun-
Citations Of President Ospina, and openly advocates
the revolutionary party.
The recruiting system has been put in force in
the capital, and many outrages have been COM
mitted by the officers charged with forcing the
men into the army, which has given rise to great
dissatisfaction.
The United States Minister, Hon. George w.
Jones, had presented his credentials to the Presi-
dent on the 3lst August, and was received in the
usual manner.
We may look for highly importatant news by the
next mall.
