NEW-GRANADA.

MEMORANDA.
BY the steamer Champion, which arrived from AZ
piuwall yesterday evening" have dates from Bogots
up 10 the lth Of August and from the lsthmus to the
4th inst, furnishing important news from the Republic
of New-Ganada. Gen. Mosquera was doing bis best
to impose by force upon the people bis usuPed author
ity but II seems that his task Is yet hard one. The
news h to the effect that DR.. Calvo the legitimate
Acting President who had taken refuge at the bouse
of the British Minister had been delivered to Mosquera
and sent prisoner to Csthagens, together with many
other eentlemen and that the said Minister and Gen.
Jones the Minister Resident Of the United Staes had
recognized the sectional Government of Mosquera as
the national and de facto one. Both these rumors
however, seem to want confirmation. On the other
hand we hear that the legitimate Government had
been recognized in Antoquia under the late eldest
Secretary of State Of Mr. Csvo who, according to the
Constitution ought take his place, and has authority
10 remove the Of Government where be pease
This. II appears had alarmed General hosquera, rs
the State Of Antoqua ia the weahest and one OF the
most conservative and populous 10 the Republic, be-
aide her facilities 20 communicate with tho great State
Of Cauca the Capital Of which, 1t 10 said had Mt lsss

| Mosquers had lssued decree Of noD-intorconTse
against Antoqua, and sent there threatening mission
of three gentlemen, backed by a numerous force.
Meanwhile he continues in Bogota, issuing large
number Of DEGREES every day. Though the astumed
motto Of his rebellion has been "the due enforcement
of tie Constitution Of 1853" which 10 almost literal
COPY of the Constitution Of the United States, Mos

namo and coat Of OF the Republic are changed,

United States OF New-Granada." All superior minis-

Of religious liberty Of the Grsnsdian sefsiyled Lib

and deprived Of lie capital Bogota in despite of the
motto Of "Righs and Liberties OF the States which

and scco nv to the said scheme, large number OF
small Liberal Siates ought to prevail against the four
and larger Conservative ones, having, each State, but
one Plenipoentiay and one vote, according to Mos
qucras Federal plan, in the General Assembly of the
UNITED States Of New Granada" BY this Il is seen
that Mosquera ignores all difference between People
and States and that the model which be TO have
adopted and indeed the beet ttedtO his revolutionary
plans Is not our Constitution Of 1881 but the Articles
OF Confederation" Of l77s with Improvements.
Another plank Of the platform Of the Granadian
liberals was the abolition of capital punishment bat

did when he entered Bogota was to order three in
offensive patriots to be shot forthwith without the leas.
