CARTHAGENA, JULY 2. " The Bogota post has just come in, bringing the horrible intelligence of the assassination of General Sucre. This atrocious deed was perpetrated by order of the traitor General Obando, who dreaded the influence of Sucre in the south. It appears that Obando ordered a party to conceal themselves in a wood near to Pasto, and to sally out and murder Sucre as he passed. His mandate they too fully obeyed. The victor of Ayacucho is no more. The mode of his death will be a lasting stain upon his country, as his own conduct had been its ornament. The President, Alosquera, pretends to disbelieve that Obando was the author of this murder, and credits an absurd story that the son, brother, or cousin of some one whom General Sucre had ordered to be shot, committed this crime to avenge his death. It is positively false that Sucre ever caused any individual to be shot in Pasto. Obando, and Obando alone, would have dared to commit such a crime. Sucre is the fourth General, besides many inferior field officers, that have been assassinated within the past year by the soi-disatit Liberals. The others are General of Division Mires, at San Borron ; General of Brigade Pasdel Castillo, near Guayaquil; and General Lucas Carbajal, on the plains of Ca*snare.  " DEATH or Gs:w. Sucaz.—Letters received by the Montilla state, that Oen. Antonio Jose de Sucre had been assassinated while on his way to Paste. If this be true, it is much to be lamented. Nest to Bolivar, Oen. Sucre is the greatest benefactor of South America. Ile was born at Cumana, in Venezuela, in 1793, consepuently was 37 years old at the time of his death. He was educated at Caracole, and entered the army in 1811. From 1814 to 1817 to served in the staff. He commanded the pattiot forces at the battle of Pinehicha, on the 24th May, 1822 ,when 300 Spaniards were left dead on the field, and the remainder, 3,000 men, capitulated. By this event, the independence of Colombia was finally secured. In June, 1823, he was elected Commander.in-Chief of the patriot forces in Peru, on the approach of a powerful Spanish aarmy, and soon after was invested with the supreme command. On the 9th of December, 1824, he gained the battle of Ayacucho, the most brilliant ever fought in South America, in which 1,400 royalists were killed, 700 wounded, and 3,784 taken, including 16 Generals, 16 Colonels, 68 Lieutenant-Colonels, and 484 officers of lower grades. This secured the independence of Peru. He afterwards liberated the province of Bolivia, became supreme chief, and was finally ap.  pointed by the Congress of that Republic, President for life. II c was first Pr.sit"..,nt of the late Constituent Congress of Bo- Igota, was delegated by that body as one of the commissioners to propose friendly terms with Venezuela; and when this mission had proved un. successful, and the Congress had closed its labours, he proceeded to the Southern Departments to appease certain disturbances which had arisen under Gen. Fl.lrcs. There, it would seem, he had met an untimely fate. His stature was rather below the middle size, his countenance sprightly, and his manners refined and pleasing. " It was also reported that two other Generals had fallen victims m assassination; but this, the letters say, was without foundation. 11'e would gladly hope that the same might prove true in regard to the nobleminded Sucre."
