The Liborator President, now Sole Supreme Chief of Colombia, is adoptig the most prompt and efficacious measures to resist tne rumored invasion contemplated by the Spanish forces at the Island ot Cuba. Ihe three frontier provinces of Zulia, Magdalena, and the Isthmus, have been placed in a complete state of defence, and the anny in that quarter on a war footing. The executive powers of the Ex-Rcpublic being now intrusted to energetic hands, we may safely calculate upon '.hs Spaniards receiving a very warm reception, should they prove so foolhardy as to attempt the invasion ola valmnt nation, governed by the un controlled will and genius ol the -warlike liolivar.—The military and municipal government of the three be-lorc-mentioned departments, have oeen confined to Lieut Gen Mariano Jlontilla. under the title ol Superior Chief. —Previous to hii departure for Magdalena, Jlontilla, ju the presence ot the Liberator and tne principal officers o» u»e General Government, took a aoUma oath to de fend the Republic, and faithfully fulfil the important duties entrusted to him by .the Chief Magistrate of Colombia. liolivar has pledged-himself to lay liown the Dictatorship whenever called upon to do so by tue peap'.e Whether he be called Dictator or President is a matter ol little moment—the people will flourish un der his government, if it is in their lestiny to flourish at all.
