Arboleda was at Tumaca waiting the arrival Of
arms and ammunition, which had been sent from
Panama BY sailing vessel. The town of Paste
had been invested by Col. Perez and 1900 men
The Government forces in Paste did not exceed 400
men. Perez expected to take the place before the
18th. Arboieda would not reach Paste to relieve
III, before the 18th.
The Government forces under Madrinan. from

last letter he will write. and it his request is re-

Rervador party attempt to put him in possession of
6 the Presidency after April ], because his election
has not been legal.
It Is now said that Mosquera will not attack Os-
pima TIL April that many persons in office favor
able to Mosquera consider themselves bound by
oath to Ospina till bis termeXpires. My own i'm
preston is, that Mosqnera fluids he is not strong
enough TO risk decisive battle, and that he waits
for reinforeements from the States Of Santander
and Bolivar. 0bando's invasion Of Antioquia is
doubtless TO procure money by forced loans from
the conservative party. That is the richest State
in the confederacy.
