The recapitulation of Timbertake’s roll, ho thinks is made out in Stockton’s hand writing. It ivusi Port Mahon, during the latter part of Timberlake’s life, that Stockton aided him. Timber’iike was di-aided from attending to his busi ness only for a few days,hardly a week before his death Until he was disabled, he attended to all his business in person, with the aid of Mr. Stockton, and was remarka bly careful in hie pecuniary alhirs. He was sensible that death was approaching some days before his death, end expiesed no concern in relation to his property, to him (I,*.

TALLMADGE, Jr. II ashington, Feb. 13th, 1830. K. John B TimliTlake, E*q. late Purser of Ihe United States’ Frigate Constitution, died on 'he 21 .lay of A pril, 1828, and on the sa ne day, I ordered (verbally) Ident. K. A.F. Vallette, 1st Lieut.of the Constitution, localise an inventory of money, and articles of every description, in cha-go of the late Purser, to be made, conformably to the rules and regulations of the service, in such cases. Lieut. Vallette subsequently reported to rn”, that lie ha 1 ann-duied Lt. R B. Randolph, 2nd L ent, ol the ship. Midshipman Amassa Paine,and_ Norman, Steward to the late Purser, who, he informed ine, had performed the duty as-igned them, and made to me a statement of the amount of money on hand; which at iteinent Ins unfortunately t een mislaid or lost. The amount, to th» best of my recollection, exceeded eleven thousand dollars, which money, with all other |irii|>criy oi » puniic nature, w is inken charge of by R. Randolph, who, having volunteered 'o per form the duties of Purser, till our arrival in the U, M'afee, th~re being no Purser in the Squadron, who ron.d b* spired from other vessels, ami the Oonstitu ti i» »^'in»r on flio eve of her departure for the (J.

The Consti'u'ion, offering fhe earliest opportunity for •h • U State*, after fhe death of Mr. Timherlake, on our arrival af H>*fon, I made Inquiry, and, to the best of rny rerollectior, of Lieu*, Rmdolph, acting as Pur ser, whether a ropy of the Inventory of articles on hand, at the death of th i late Purser, end a s'at»rn<Mit of the amount of osh, had been transmitted to the oIRre of the Fourth Auditor of tl « Treasury, and wu answereil in fhe affi'-mstive. I concluded, that the measures I directed, had all been carried into eff-et, and that the proper Department was in po<ie*slon of every infor mation on the subject, till very recently, when I wa» shown t ie account current of Lieut Randolph, and found that the late Mr. Titnherlako wa» not credited with th' amount of money on hand af hi* death, as he shoulI hove been. Hie private property of the la'o Mr Timherlake, as lie In I requested should be done, was tak^n in charge by Msut Valle lie, who, he informs me, delivered (he *une to trie widow of Mr. TimherUke.

During the greater part of the lime I was engaged in the aljii-tmeut of hi* neenunta, Mr. Randolph vrae ab rent in Virginia, and the settlement wa< attended to by Mr. Robert Calder, who was employed by him In Boa. Jon. to assist in paying off the crew, and who ho anid knew inoie about the accounts than himself. I* rom Mr. Cal ler, I learned that he had brought on 7, kooks and papers belonging to (he late Mr. I mihvrl««k**; hm they were not ope net! in my pre l71Ctr‘"°r ,liJ 1 evor !"'e ‘kem, (ill i" >*'« hand* of Mr. Handy, who settled the accouut*. i do not know who put the pap-rs into Mr. Caldcr’s hands at Boston, lie came on widi Mr. Randolph. Many month* after the settlement ol Mr. Randolph's account, it was dis covered that he had receipted to (J. S.

Had I known it, tny ob vious cour-e would have been to charge him with the slops, lor which he is still held accountable, and credit him with the amount turned over to the N ival Store keeper at Boston, which I think has beeu erroneously passed over to Mr. TimberJake’s credit. I am, Sir, very respectfully. Your obedient servant, „ . ,, ROB (JETTY. To Amos Kkndall. E q. Fourth Auditor. M. Four r»i Auditor’s Orricic, „ 23./ February, 1830. bin: The several questions propounded by you to me, this morning, in relation o the accounts and papers ot the late Purser, John B. Titnberlake, I proceed to answer, from memory, in the order in which they were proposed. 1st. Into whose care did the books, papers, Sir. ol Mr. Timberlake p»«s, when they came into the cilice.’ . All the paper* of Mr. Timberlake, were first placed in Ihe hands of Mr. Ezekiel Macdaniel, who, at tba' time, had charge of all the accounts belonging to the Purser’s Depaitmen*. 2d. Was there at that time, or at any subsequen* time, any conversation about an inventory, about money orpropsrty, left by Mr. Timberlake, or about the letters of Major Eaton? i never Heard any conversation on the snhj-ct of an inventory, until after the accounts of the Purser were settled, when I wn informed hy yours. If, that Mich an inventory had been mail*, and a copy placed with bi< pap*r«. Soon after the accounts were placed hi my hands lor settlement, I did hear, but from whom. I can not recollect, perhaps from Mr. Thomas Norman, the utser i Steward, ’hat all the private property, papers, an l money, belonging to Mr. TnnberLk*, had beende ftvered to the widow, on the arrival of the ship at U is ion : such I mean as were found on hoard, at the time ,ot her arrival, except a few articles which iron »jl 1 at auction, and the proceeds credited to the Purser. Since the settlement of the Purser's accounts, I was Intorined by yourself, anl subsequently by Lieut. Ro nert B. Randolph, that he received money which was loft unexpended at ill s death of the Purser; an I that he hid at Ilichtnnnd a statement, whieh would show the amount Upon nty asking Mr. Randolph bow he had disposed of these funds, he said, he had applied them to the discharge of claims against tho Purser, an., lor advance. toih» crew o( the Constitution, all the receipts for which had hecn taken in the name of the 1 ursor. From tho time the Purser's accounts were de posited for settlement to tho present, there has been much conversation in the office about the letters of Ma jor baton. 3d. Were the letters ol Major Eaton read in tho of ten in your-hearing? Do you know that copies were taken. W lien, and hy whom, were Timberlake’spapers put into your hands for examination and settlement. I he letters of Major Eaton were read in my hearing, as well as in the hearing of a number of others then in the room. I do know that copies or extracts were taken. 1 he papers ol Mr. Titnbcrlake were put into my hands lor examination and settlement, by Mr. Ezekiel Mac darnel, then at tho head of that branch of accounts, but what time,my memory, does not serve me to say. 4th. Did I ever examine, or so far as you know or believe, know of the existence of the letters of Major Eaton, until alter my return from the Western country* State the circumstances attending my inquiry for them and (heir delivery to me? You never did examine, and, so far ns I know or be lieve, know of tho existence of the letters of Major Eaton until after your return from the Western country. Alter the settlement of the account of the Purser, and previous to your return from Kentucky, I consulted with the chief clerk as to tho proper disposition to be made of those letters, which I had felt it my duty to retain until after the settlement of the Purser’s accounts, and lie agreed with me in opinion that they should bo delivered to you on your return. Soon after your return, perhaps ou the following Saturday, I made two unsuccessful at tempts to deliver them to you; you were, botli times I went to your room, engaged with others on business. Oil the following Monday, early in tho mornin<>-, you came to my desk, and invited me into your roomrwherc I met with Mr. Branch,the Secretary ot the Navy. You observed to me that a report was in circulation that there were certain letters of Major Eaton in my possession. I replied that there were such, and mentioned the dis position I hail intended to make of them. You request ed me in tiring them to yon; I .lid so, and then withdrew. 5th. In what condition did you find Mr. Timbcrlako’s accounts? I lie accounts of Mr. Timberlake, from the conitnence ment of his Pursorship of the Frigate Constitution to the 15th May, 192(1, were tolerably accurate; hut from that period to the date of his death, 2d April, 1828, they wcre.ina very confused state, without abstract, account current, or any other guide whatever, to enahle me to get at his debits and credits, except such as*»ur own books Afforded. The vouchers for payments, original, duplicate, triplicate, an l quadruplicate, together "with’ seamens’ old papers, private hills, public letters, &c. all thrown together in one common mass, which required much time and care to arrange for settlement. fitli. Did you, until since the close of the accounts of Mr. Timberlake, ever hear, in the office or out, of any in ventory ot morioy or property left on board the Consti tution by Mr. Timberlake, or that any money was left? If so, by whom? Did you ever converse with Mr. Nor man in relation to this account, and what explanations did lie give? I never did hearof any such inven’ory until since the close of Mr. Timhcrlakc’s accounts, and then first hy yourself,afterwards Lieut. Randolph informed me he had a statement, but did not call it an inventory. Mr! Nortnan I think was in the office but once, and then but for a very short time, of courso I find but little conver sation with him. I askod him but few questions, e porting him to he with mo during the setMoinent of Hi account, but which was prevented, in the first instanc hy his sickness, and afterwards, hy my being able to < without him. 7th. In what condition did you find Mr. Timberlake letter hook? did you ever see his latest account hook wi the officers? I found Mr. Timhcrlake’s letter hook much mutilah by the cutting out of leaves. The first account hoi with the officers refers to a second. The second I n versaw. I am, Sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, „ JAMES II. HANDY. Amos Kevdall, Esq. N. T»io following passage wa< rend to Mr. Norman, from a letter of J. K. Paulding to (lie Fourth Auditor, dated 18th February, 1830. “After the receipt of your letter enclosing the queries of Com. I'alter non, I roncliide<! to aend a request to Mr. Norman that lie would rail and see me at my office, and he came this morning. On iny stating to him the rea sons for requesting this interview, his reply was, that he knew nothing on the subject of the money or pro perty left by Mr. TimherlaWe,except having understood generally that there was somo money and property What became of it he could not tell, lie neither ns sis»ed in counting the one, or taking an inventory or the other.” J He was asked, Is this true? Reply: It is except that he told Mr.'Paulding that Mr. Randolph paid some of runhcrlake’s debts out of his money, and that his hand writing would show how much. The men discharged on the 3|st March, on Timherlake's pay-roll, were paid out Of that money, not on that May, but a few ’days afterwards. All the olficers settled with up to the 31st March, were also paid out of that money. A pay roll of thoso discharged, and another of the officers p.,id were made out, but ho docs not know what has become of them, lie has never seen these rolls since he trans ferred the accounts to Mr. Randolph. On Com. Pa terson’s observing that he had particu larly directed that Mr. Norman should be present at the counting of the money, and taking the inventories, ho replied that he was not present. Mr. Paine, Mr. Val letta, and he thinks Mr. Randolph, counted the money and took the inventories, lie had the keys to Mr. Tim’ bcrlake’s slops and stores, which were taken from him at Mr Timherlake’s death; the chests and boxes con taining the articles were all nailed lip, and were not open until the vessel arrived at Boston. There was a chest containing shirts, vests, trowsers, he. none of which were sold alter Timherlake’s death. None of Mr. Hinherlakc’s goods or slops were drawn or used by Mr. Randolph. The stores were sold by order of the Secretary of the Navy, a« he understood, al Boston, and the slops turned into the Naval Slore. Mr. Ran dolph made a requisition for a few slops himself at Port Mahon. lieutenant Randolph gave a re. cripi tor these, included in a bill of other slops got by Mr Timbeilake lie served out all Mr. Randolph's • lop* himself—none of Mr. Tiiubcrlakc’s were used. | lt«? cannot toll why Mr. Randolph haa obtained a cred • f for more slop* than lie U charged with. There wa* t*ul a lew slops left belonging to Kamlolpli when the *hip arrived at Boston. ^ hill of Orlila lor clothing made on account of Mr. riuiberlake, was als> paid out oi that money. He thinks the whole amount paid must he eight or nine thous and dollars. The object ol paying the discharged men and officers on Timherlakc's roll was to save trouble, l.t. V allettc and Lt. Talhuadge were paid some of this money; also, Aiuusa Paine and all the officers. Mr. Timberlake's private papers were ou shore, and w ore put up, he believes, by U. Vallette and Lt. Paine; his public papers were in his (Norman's) possession! and alter he had mads the transfers to Kamlolpli, they w ere also packed up. Orlila s hill was a tailor's bill, altogether private; the Clothes made were all, or about all, issued before Mr. 1 iiubertake’s death; Lieutenant Randolph wished to have them entered on his own account, but Com modore Patterson refused to let him do so. The articles as received were entered before the 81st of March, and the prices attached afterwards, when they got Orlila s bill. Orlila’s hill was paid oil! of Timber lake s money by Mr. Kamlolpli, subsequent to T’s death, lie does not know how the receipts came to be mi"5*1 March, 1828, unless they were sent in when Mr. I iiuberluke was too ill to attend to business. Mr. Downing, the witness to one of the receipts, did not arrive at Port Mahon until the day after Mr. Timber lake was buried. The original receipt is not in his (Norman s) hand-writing, the duplicate and triplicate are*i-rt- Jo°* not k,,ovv how '* happened that there are dillercnt witnesses to the original, duplicate and trip licate. lie does not recollect why the approval of the 'Miiinodore is not affixed to the duplicate and triplicate. Mr. Downing is a witness to one of the latter. A Ih>\ of $2,000 was taken on shore to Mr. Timber lake s room. After his death it was brought on board, and had hut $730 in it. Ho never knew what became ol the balance. Ho never Wmv of any bills or any thing whatever to be pai l out of it. Mr. Kamlolpli and Mr. Valotte hr night it from shore into his (Nor mans) room, and counted it; lie had no hand in coimt mg the money, hut undcrs’ood there wa9 about $750. I ho officer’s hook missing from the Fourth Auditor's office is, ho thinks, in a trunk of his at Baltimore, which ho expects here to-day. These papers came into his possession at Boston. He did not aid in ■■m.a.-Li.wr repacking I imbcrlako’s papers at lioston. f ho tiual re ceipt roll of Mr. Timborlalce was delivered by him to Air. Randolph at lioston, about the 15th July, immedi ately alter which he left lioston. A parcel of loose requisitions and othor papers were packed in a trunk and sent aftsr him by the person who attended him, among which is the book spoken of. lie thinks it was about the time Mr. Calder and Mr. Ran dolph brought on Mr. Tiinhcrlakc’s accounts. This book had not hcen packed up, but remained in his possession, to enable him to make out the final re ceipt roll, which was not completed until tho arrival o! the ship at lioston. lie thinks this book was ne ver in the possession of Mr. Randolph or Mr. Calder. He never had Titnberlnke’s letter book in his posses sion except in Mr. Timherlakc’s room, to copy some let ters from it. He knows nothing of the cutting of any leaves out of it. None were observed by him to be cut out when lie copied from it. Oil being shown the book, he recognized it perfectly. He has never seen it before since Timberlake’s death—it was on shore at his room. THE MAYSV1LLE ROAD. .. r. Ci..\irsvii.i.k June 19.—The ground assumed by Gen. Jackson in hi* Mes-age to Congress, on pu'ting bis veto to the Maysville Road Hill, gives, so far as we can learn, general satisfaction. Every Republican pa psr, so l.,r as we have observed, sustains tlte President. ’’ e bail th-se as peculiarly gratifying signs, as evidence that lbs latitiidiuarian doctrine of construction is giv ing place to the strict reading of tlie constitution. We have made it cur particular business lor the past (Court) week to inquire of our country friends among whom are many of those who stood by their country in limes that tried men’s souls,” and who are now ol the bone and muscle ot I lie Deinociaiic party of our coun ty—and they, to a man, arc pleased with (he ground taken by die old Tennessee farmer. They are opposed to a continuation of the National Debt, and believe that the Government, like an individual, ought to pay oil those debts Already contracted than entail additional burthens upon posteii y. They very truly observe th.it if government subscribes funds to one object ol In temal Improvement of a local nn'ure—If they take s'cck in one petty corporation, they must, they aie bound to do so in all. They can make no distinction,Sc in ibis way a system must obtain that would bankrupt the treasury of the universe. It is, in our view, happy for the country that an occa sion has efferad itself for an expression of public senti men'. In the west many have been deluded by (lie ileal glare of Mr. Clay’s (falsely styled) American sys tem. That system is artf.il ami wiley—it address* i . self to the most selfish pa-sions of our nature. But its charm is broken. The Constitution—that sacred instru merit which ought to be cherished as tho apple of the »*ve—does net give the power to draw money from (lie T reasury lor local objects of Internal Improvement. This construction will be maintained by an overwhelm ing majority ol the American people. (From tlio New-York Journal of Coinmorco.) INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE. The following correspondence has never before b»en published, either in this country or Colombia. It is furnish* d u« by the politeness of a friend, who received it from an olficial source at Bigot a. In the manusciipts from which we copy, the former letter is in English, the laitsr in Spanish. We need not anticipate their con tents by any preliminary remarks, except to say that the communication of Mr. Turner was made on the ve ry next day after he was presented to (he Liberator, and in three days after his arrival at Bogota. Mr. Turner to Mr. Caiceilo The undersigned, his Britannic Majesty’s Envoy Ex traordinary and Minis'er Plenipotentiary to the Repub lic of Colombia, ha« the honor to commence bis corres pondence with If is Excellency General Cavcedo, Min ister for Foreign Affairs to that Republic, by entering on an explanation with His Excellency respecting a subject of vital importance, both to bis own government and to that of Colombia, Inasmuch as it involves the question of the continuance or cessation ol the solemn engagements existing between the I wo countries. The undersigned, knowing as 1 e does the anxious wish of bis sovereign and bis government for the wel fare and happiness of Colombia, has observed with e qtial surprise ami pain, in the Bogota Gazette of the 18ih instanf, the eopv of an official message addressed by the Colombian Executive to Congress, propo sing the establishment of a separate government for New Grenada, and the virtual dissolution of the Repub lic. I he undersigned does not pretend to interfere in the internal affairs of (his country. His Majesty’s Govern rnent has, more than onre, disclaimed such intention. But he thinks he should be neglecing a sacred and im portant duty, if he hesitated to notify His Excellency that if Ihe above mentioned measure he sanctioned by the Congress, and carried into effect, tbo Trea'y between Great Britain and Colombia will he instantly ip*nJudo Annulled by that acl, and the functions of tho under signed as British Envoy to the Republic must immedi ately cease. The undersigned has no other object in making this communication to hi* Excellency than that ol warning the government of Colombia of the consequences ef such an act, as affecting the friendly relation* of the Kepub lie with a friendly government, to who<e rep'esentstive the distinguished Chief of the Krpublic expressed, but yesterday, si a public audience.

(Signed) DOMINGO CAYCEDO. I.ATE & IMPORTANT FROM COLOMBIA. N«w-York. June 23—By the arrival of the brig Athenian, Captain Chapman, we have received Bogrta 6 h an,f 7|h May. from which it appears ttnw Hits unfortunate country is once more the scene ol civil commotion and contention. For many days pre vious to the ft'h, the city of Bogota was flooded with in llunmatorv hand bills of the most violent description, boldly and fearlessly stating that if Congress dared to elect a President and Vice President other than those designated by a local mob, the most serious con sequences would flow from It. Congress intended to e lect Caraval President, and Mo.quera Vice President, and on the firat ballot Caraval had 27 votes, Mo.quera 17, and Caicedo, the leader of the factioni.ts 5. Pre vious to their commencing the hallot, an immense r*nwd of young men assembled in the galleries and lobbies with a determination to prevent the election ol Caraval, and to substilue in his place Caicedo, who it ap ; . . , iv ime me nano a were brinjr count'd, the scene that took place beggars de scription. When the name of Caraval was cri,,i OM, »y the tellers, the mob groaned and shouted mala; Mosquera s name was received with considerable an puuer; and when Caicedo received a vote the veil of approbation was deafening. When the result of the nrst ballot was given, their rage knew no bounds, and the cry of “to arms! to arm*! to the Quartet for arm.!" resounded through the ha'I. and these infuriated mad men rushed out to carry their threats into execution the troops were ready to receive them, and nodiflirul V wouhl have occured in electing an honest President il the Congress had been true to itself. But this was not the ca«e. They did not know that the military were supporting them, and on the return of the taction i*t* to the Ha!I, who continued their cries in favor of Lalcedo, and denunciations of his opponents, their fears predominated over their patriotism, and Caraval was sacrificed. Mosquera was elected President; and C»'ce <lo, who originally had but/iee votes, was elected Vice President. Mosquera is a man of firmness, of la'enfs, end a pa triot. but it is feared that he will not accept the Presi dency, and that Caicedo will consequently become the President. The friends of Caicedo kn^w this, and therefore yielded to his election. Caicedo is an hones' man, but ignorant, and unacquainted with public af Uirs. His Counsellors are of the Santandar party, and while they have influence in the administration of the government, it will continue to be any thing but what tile friends of liberty could wish. The election thus made for three millions of freemen for an election it is called—was proclaimed on the 5th or May, and the President not being in Bogota a depu tation was sent to the Vice President, Caicedo, informing him of his election, and inviting him at once to enter upon the duties of the Presidency ad interim. Caice do returned with the deputation, and after taking the oath prescribed addressed the Congress. A committee was al*o sent to the Liberator apprising him of the re sul ol the election, and declaring their high estimation ol his public and private character. In re,,;> Helivar expressed his gratification at the election of Morque ra and tin pleasure at once more becoming a private On the 9 h Bolivar left Bogota for Carthagena, wi-h he intention of sailing for London and ultimately set ing in this country. His journey to the coast was a se ries cf triumphal entries into the principal towns, and at every place on the road he was received with the greatest enthusiasm He was expected to sail for Lon don in the British Frigate Shannon about the 5th of June, having arritrs.l at fnibarco in the vicinity of Car thagena, on the 25tli May. Previous to the election ol Mosquera and Caicedo, he positively declined being considered a candidate for the Presidency, and directed his friends to say to the mem hers of the Congress. that he would consider any mem ber his personal enemy who presumed to give him a vote! Thus has this truly great man fulfilled the ex pectations of his friends and given to the world an addi liona! evidence of the purity of his intentions. \VC sub join his proclamation:— Message of his Excellency the Liberator President to the Constituent Congress:— , fllow-( itukss—The Constitution being settled and charged as you are by the nation with the nomina ttonor the nigh functionaries who arc to preside over republic, I think it proper to reiterate my repeated protestations, not again to accept of the chief magistra cy, even should you honor me with your suffrages. You should be assured that the good of my country re quires of ine the sacrifice of separating myself forever from the country which gave me life in order that my rrmJ,n,n^ *n ^ °^orn^,a nnay not tie an impediment to the happiness of my fellow.citizens. Venezuela in or der to jus-ify her secession, has ascribed ambi ions views lo me; next she would allege my re election a« an obstacle to reconciliation, and finally the Republic would be subject either lo dismemberment, or civil war The considerations which I submitted to Congress on tho day of its installation, combined with many others, should all concur to persuade Congress that its most Im perious obligation is to give to the people of Colombia new magis'r.ites possessed of the eminent qualifications required by the law and the public weal. I beseech you my fellow ri'iz<-ns to receive this mes sage as a proof of my mo t ardent patriotism, and of the mve i nave ever prftlesseil lor Colombia Bogota, 27th April 1830. SIMON BOLIVAR. To which Congress relumed ihe foil wing aower: Sir: Congress is possessed of your message of 27th in«t. in which you reiterate your resolution not to accept again the Chief Magistracy, even though you should lie honored with the voles of the Representatives of the peoplo and has taken the same into consideration. Congress duly appreciates this new proof of the civism and disinterestedness that animate you. It realises in our view, the glory that by many titles you had aireadv acquired, and putting to flight the imputations launched against you, confirms your credit and consolidates your reputation. You may bo assured, sir, that each ono of the mem bers of Congress, obeying the impulses o» patriotism and duty, and his own view of the public rerjuiremenfs, will weigh in the depth of his conscience on the election day, the reasons that have induced you to solicit that you may not be re-elected—and these will determine his vote.— Whatever be the fate,however, that Providence reserves for you, sir, and for the nation, Congress entertains the hope that every Colombian, sensible to the honor and loving the glory of his'eotintry, will look upon you with tha respect and consideration due to the services you have rendered to the cause of Amours, and will take rare that the lustre of your name shall pass to posterity in such light as befits the founder of the independence of Colombia. Such, Sir, are the sentiments of Congress, whirh, by its order, I have the honor to communicate to you. Hall of the Session, Bogota, April 30. VINCENTE BOR REZO. To his Ex.

On the 5th of May Caicfpo. acting as President in the absence of Mosquera, issued the following Proclama tion : Fellow-Citizens:—The votes of your representatives have placed me in the second office of the Republic._ W llh more fortunate aim the same votes railed to the Presidency that distinguished patriot, Joaqttim Mosque ra.

Respectable Ministers of the sinctnary, valiant Sol diers, honored and pacific Citizens -1 could not have undertaken the responsible task you have assigned me without counting on your co operation. F cllow-Citizens—Moderation and concord arc the most Ufftent wants at our present difficult social position—and inasmuch as the government protects each alike, whate ver may have been his opiuions, whatever the country oi his birth—let no other voice be heard among you, no other sentiment uttered, than absolute oblivion of past errors, lovo of order and of liberty, ami submission to ,h® DOMINGO CALCEIX). Uogota, 5th May, 1880. On tho same day tho following address signed by the Vice President, the Arch llishop of Bogota, the Seccta ries ol the Treasury, of War, and of the interior, ami about 1200 citizens, was presented to Bolivar. .Host esteemed Liberator:—At present scpar.-.t"*» is you are, Irom the government and the illusion of authori ty, we may justly express our heartfelt sentiments to wards you, without being suspected ol flattery, as well ss pay a debt or justice, by rendering to you tho purest homage of our esteem and gratitude. During the protracted period ol our revolution—amidst the vicissitudes or war, and the fluctuation of public opinion, you have always proved yourself to be tho in trepid soldier, and have achieved tho most horoic and eminent services for the cause of our emancipation.— Mow often have you rescued your country from dcstruc tion, and exhibited her to the world gloriously triumph ant. When Spanish domination spread itself over our hemisphere, and appeared to have irrevocably fixed the foundation of its power, your name reunited (he brave— kindled iu their hearts a noble enthusiasm; and by caus ing hope to revive iu their bosoms, conducted them to triumph from the banks of the Oronoco, to tho silver re gions ot Potosi. You it was, who prostrated the army of the tyrant, while the shout of liberty resounded, and rendered the independence of the new world certain. ' ou have furnished tho foundation on which the edi fice ol our future happiness must bo elevated—and hav ing yourself voluntarily abdicated the first office in the gilt ol a free people, with a resolve never again to as sume the reigns of government, you liavo secured to yourself immortal fame. An act so noble, so gene rous and so magnanimous, places you in the sphere ol heroes. r The pages ol history arc filled with tho actions of valiant soldiers and victorious warriors, ami their bright aejk,livar0nly ** increased ,hose of a Washington or In private lifo you shall receive unequivocal proofs'of our attachment to your person. We shall ever recollect your,worth and services, and we will teach our children to|lisp your name with lively sentiments of admiration and gratitude. May Providence, which lias always preserved by rescuing you uninjured from so many dangers, prosper your days, and shed on you all the blessings of which your sublime virtues have rendered you worthy.” Of the correctness of our information in relaticn to af fairs in Colombia there «'annot l>« a doubt. Our corres pondent, although not attached to the American I.ega tion in that country, is on terms of intimacy with it, and while he is disposed to do justice to our able representa tive, Mr. Moore, we know that he is the last person who would give a false coloring to his conduct. We, there fore, feel pleasure in giving the f flowing extract ver batim: ° • iS. , * ‘,aily e*Pec«eJ fo see our street* deluged with blood, but thank Ood this calamity has thus far been spared us. With this exception, the wor«t scenes ofthe French revolution have been enacted among us, and it (jives me pleasure to say that during this peril ou* time, the conduct of our minister has been such a* to inako me proud of my right to bo called an American. " hen he came here, Bolivar was in power, and it is hut reasonable to presume that his predeliction for ihe Liber ator was known to our government when he was ap pointed. His frank and tnanly conduct on presentation to the government, won for him (ha esteem of those in power, and Bolivar considered that at length the feelings of North America towards a sister republic were properly represented. The revolt of the trai'ors, I’iiez and Santander, did not alter his confidence in Bolivar, although it became his duty to look quietly at the course of events and mourn over, while he could not restrain the mad fury of an excited people—excited by those who, if true to the trust reposed in them, would never have suflered Bolivar to retire from Colombia, or, at at all events, would not have sacrificed Caraval. In consequence of his firm and consistent course, ho is much respected and beloved by the Bolivcrians, who are a large majority of the people, and at the same time, enjoys the confidence of the existing powers, and those who are supposed to be the enemies of the Liberator. What a contrast between his course and that pursued by Harrison?” P S. The foregoing is derived from our letters from i • uprl *>f May inclusive, since the receipt of winch we have received letters of the 14th and 21st May, by which it appears that the country was com paratively quiet, but anxiously waiting to know what would he the result of the new order of things. C&ice do is said to he pledged to tho separation of Venezuela from the republic; and the Southern Provinces, it is supposed, will not acknowledge his authority. [vV. Y. Courier 4- Enquirer. Colombia.—Wc gave yesterday a hasty summary of ti e late events in Bogota, by which it a? pears that al though the country is for the moment tranquil, it is but the calm which precede* a storm. Ignorant and ambi tious chieftains are struggling for power, and with a superstitious and uneducated people, and an infuriated moh, it is scarcely possible to conjecture what the re sult will tie. We consider it almost impossible for the existing government to adhere together for a month, ami what then? Can they find among their public men a second Bolivar to step forth in the hour of danger and save the people from themselves? or if they do, will not their chiefs again on the first plausible pretext! seek to rid themselves of any person who the people believe more honest, more intelligent, and moro patriot ic than themselves? Bolivar left Bogota on the 9th of May, and from that lime the Santandar party—among whom Augustus I .el and, of New England, and who is will known in this city, u a conspicuous leader—have used every means that ingenuity could devise to bring from ob«ou rity this convicted atxasnin ami place him at the head ol affair*. It will be recollected that Santandar wa» ac cused of being engaged in the con-piracy against the lite ol the I.ibera'or, and after a careful investiga-i >n ol the matter, vas convicted and condemned to death. Bolivar gave him his life, but he could not give him either honesty or gratitude, and he ha* thus again taken part in every cabal that hat been formed against hi* benefactor. No one believes that Venezuela will conform to the new order of things, and Magdalena and the whole south are in the same situation. So weak is the government that when a single Regiment, on the 7th of May, declared they would leave Bogota hecau-c Bolivar was no longer President, and demanded from the. government their pay and the mean* of reaching their homes, the government were compelled to yield and the Regiment marched off in open day-light and in utter defiance of the supreme authority of Caicedo1 rhi* was the signal for the Santandar party to move, ny mo cny was flooded with handbills of the most inflammatory nature. Strange as it may appear, many of the liandhiHs were those placarded in the streets of Paris during the French Revolution which had bo-n procured and reprinted for the purpose. It m well known that before hi* dimrrare S.inlanrlar i*n riched himself upon the English Loan, and with this mon-y he is now exciting the people to a revolution in his favour. That it will succeed there is too much rea son to believe, and our next arrivals may inform us that tin* convicted assassin is at the head of affairs. Park is still at the head of affairs in Venezuela, and it is raid will never consent to its re.union with Colom bia, unless he Is called to the Presidency. He is a man of powerful intellect and great personal courage, but ignorant, lawless, and vindictive. His elevation would not save the country, and loolc at die subject in any way we please, the conclusion is forced upon ns, that no form of government but that of a powerful monarchy can save the country from being deluged wi!h Mood, Ignorance and superstition triumph over the eflnrts of intelligent patriot*, and the fact can no lorgor he con cealed that the people are not capable of self-govern The Constitution, adopted hy the late Congress, is a< liberal as might hn wished—loo liberal for the people— and as good as cirenmstsnces allowed of.
