NIX w-GRANADA.

Contrary 10 oil expectations, we learn from
letters by the steamer North Star that the chief
Of the revolution in New. Granada has succeeded
10 entering the Cspittl and establishing there
the mockery Of a Government called the " United
" States of New. Gransda."
The news is TO the effect that 90 thu 18th Of
June last, at 7 o'clock q. M, hosquera attacked
Bogota; that not Less than eeyen battslions
which were uader the command Of Gen. Posads
went over TO him by tho treacbery OF
Posnds, whom the reyolutionists themselves claim
to have bought for money! aud TINT after I've
hours Of fighting with tue small, faithful remnant
Of the Federal army, Mosquers obtained pos.
sespion Of the city. As this revolution originated
from the treachery Of Mosquers 10 bis political
party, TO tho State Of Cuucs. Of which be was
the Governor, and 10 tho Constitution and Gov
ernment he bad sworn TO suppcTt--this ccwardly
triumph, obtained through treason, htly crowns 1t.
As soon as the city VAS occupied Mosquera

bio order, interiered 10 the matter, aud the exc
cution was sasreoded temporarily at least.

show tho tendencies Of that doploroble rebellion,
and the fate which nwaits NewGfaDadA ia
Gaze it should extend permanently over toe
whole extent Of her territory. by ole OF those
DEGREES, the civil agents Of the Federal Govern
ment in the States are suppressed. By another
one the Bishops forbidden 70 acs such. II not
expressly allowed by Mosquero, aud bani.hment
from the country is threatened sssin,t those
who may not submit. Furthermore, by procla-
NATION, the champion Cf "liberal" principles and
Of I" the rights and liberties Of the States yr-
tually declares that, in consideration OF the al.
normal condition of tho county, oil the tribunal,,
and even the trial by Jury, are unnulled, and
thot natural lac is to be the supreme law Of the
a1d. -
Mott Of the loyal part of the army which oP.
posed Mosquera in the city had escaped capture,
and had gone to join the dag of the Coastitu.
tional Goyeflmont in tho State OF Cauca, where
military operations are directed by Col. ArbOean,
the President elect Cor tho next Presidential
term. Tie rebel Gen. Santos Gutierrez, to
whom the success Of Mosquera is generally at
tributed, had loft BOgota for the Dodhern States
Of BOyaca and Santander, at the head of 1900
ues; and Mosquera biunslf intended to march
with another division against the wealthy and
loyal State Of Antioqula, where Gen. Enao had
put down eyey rebel in arms. II 10 said that
the rebel Gov. Nieto of Carthagens. is called by
Mosauera to Gil his place Of Provisional Presi
dent during his absence.
These extraordinary events were not in the
lenst anticipated, as the acting constitutional
President, DR.. CavO, inspired great confidence,
and great majority of the nation sided with the
conservative party, which was tho ono legally Co.
tabhshed in power. The treason Of some i'm.
portsnt chiefs Of the army is indeed the only
possible means Mosquera could have employed to
succeed in tho capture Of the capital; but the
patriots do not give any sign Of submitting tams-
ly to his rule. They argue that in 1854 Bogots
was 10 tho hands of the RsvOlutiOnists for eight
months, md that, though the rebel chief Gen.
Mclo, had drilled army Of l2,0OO men under
his command, he was put down by tho combined
milits seat by the Provinces. The army of
Mosquesa, in Bogots, Is estimated 10 be 5000
strong at present, while IN the States Of Csucs,
Antioquia, Santsnder, Boyacs, and Cundiuanarcs
there ars about 1000 or 5000 loyal soldiers under
