Bab mere July 17 i he odicial docu mcnts troni Colombia inset ted below, will be perused with interest by our leaders it appears from the first, that the VicePresident of the Republic, officially begs of Bolivar his retention of the executive power, for the purpose of quelling anarchy and res oring public tianquility The second and thiul show the octet ruination of iiolivar, in accoi dAnce wiih this requ st That there arc two parties in the icpublicjis preuy manifest ; j hat Bolivar's is on the side of uncc;is'Tu:ional and arbitrary Dower, is very far horn clea-.

B sides that the Liberator, in accepting even a dictatorship, would only be excr eting a power provided lor by Uc Lonsti tiuion on an occasion of emergency, we are credulous enough to belie c hisdecla ration, when he says that a general convention is the universal wish and u ; gent necessity of Colombia, and that when it :s convoked, he will he ready to resign to it thv- mace and sword he is intrusted with, both as Constitutional President, and the repository of t tie supreme cxtraurdiiury authority'. The Bogota Constitutor!, urges the decision of thv fr ' -r.v.?, in . egaid to the acceptance ol u.o i cb.. iti .n cf Bolivar, which in the prtv.vu i or bed state of the republic, k declines to be inadmissible. As his piewtve jmi.-.y-cd the ferment in the nottb, it is r.nv quilly necessary in the south, and toe interests of Columbia require the head of the government, a man who eu ties with him the po wet ml support ol pwpuiar opinion, and who, however de drous oi retiring from the turmoil of public tile, can hardly let a social fabtic go to i urn, w hich he has reared by seventeen yi ars ol toil. On the contrary, a pamohlct has been published in Bogota, urging Boiivar to rive up the Bolivian Code, an;! to obey the voice of the people, in iVmramir.g hc constitution. AniuLt these emu a dictory views, wc leave time to determine a question which, for the sake of !ibc: iy, v;c hope wiil not be a question tang. Fein: the. Gazette. f REPUBLIC OF COLOMBI A.

THE I.I II V 11 A TO !t OF COLOMBIA, PRESIDENT 0!" HIE HEVllLie: Sire The government of the rcptdc cannot misunderstand the imitations which still alarm the people, nor wiliuv without pain, the gieat dimcv.Uics by which they arc surrounded. The : epondence which the Secretaries of foreign relations and of war, will give you a s liucicnily clear idea of the state of alarm in which the southern depat linen's r.ow arc, and which was one of the consequences which I succeeded in avoiding, by sending immediately to the commaruiam, Bustamentc, a reply couched in terms w hich might tiatiquilize iho whole division. The Executive has hoped till the present lime, with absolute confidence, that t"ie meeting cf Congress will facilitate the measures of uniting the divisions o' the republic; but,ictardcd by causes which neither your hand nor mine were able to prevent, the Executive Foresees th:t the cufTcrings of the state will be prolonged. The insidious management of her enemies arc not concealed, nor those disaffected to the Constitutional system, who wish t increase the schism of the rcpub lie by adding discord between the nation

al government and your Excellency ; and ; as if the alteration of our Constitution depended essentially on my not exercising ' the government, and on my being defamed, the enemies of the government endeavor to excite a conflagration against it. It is

easy to conjecture, how far the odium and rivalry of a portion of the state against the Executive, minrht succeed. In such circumstances, I should commit treason against my duty, and my disinterested selfdevotion to :hc national cause, if I did net urge your Excellency, with all the earnestness with which lam capable, to come and occupy the seat which the people have freely and lawfully assigned you. Under the Constitutional authority ofyour excellency, the divisions of :he body politic will be united, parties will be suppressed, tranquility and security will be restored, and Colombia will recover all her power and unblemished splendor. The executive has been the first to recognize the t ight which your excellency has acquired y the free and constitutional will of the cpublic, to occupy the Presidency ot the state ; and the firs' to hasten and call your excellency to it, when he heard of the commotion in Valencia. The execu ivc docs notdepai t from this course, and holds proofs to show, that the people will constantly follow it, under the influence ot their duties, their engagements, and the profound attachment which thiy profess for y tr excellency. In the opinion ot the government, this intimation is suffered to induce yout ex ccllcncy to hasten to accede to my request To enlarge with remark on t ie rcces i!y of it, would offend the wed known p.tlri otism ofyour excellency, and your formet resignation to the public rood ; sir.ee he who had been charged with the Executive power, has invited your cxiedeacv at uiftciYMt times, since t tie month ot Nmein her la t, and with strong :,t ieas'ns, l take thi charge of the government? he has been freed from responsibility.

The j Liberator, notu ithstanding this, rested sej core in the hope, that those tried and faith- ; ful vetcrr.ns would perceive the abyss into which they were about to plunge and S ivceuu numu, or inai ai me u.asr, iney 1 would avoid the evils which could not fail to gro r out of the projects attributed to them. It was with such an impression, that ids excellency came to the resolution which he h:s adopted, of tendering his e st-f.'.atio:: to the Congress of the nation. i -The development of the pioiecl I have ! u:-t mcntio'Kd, lias entiscly altered the fitci'tio;: c v 'he Liberator, who, either as j iJicsidcr.t ol" Cfdanibia, or as a private inc; is bound to exert everv means 1 1 .

The multiplied and distin-?;uLr.-ed proofs of confidence which the i .liberator has received from the people of Cvdombi?, enhance and inci case this obligation, and his excellency has determined to march against those traitors, who, after having sullied the reputation of the Republic, are laboring todestiov her. In pursuance of this determination, the Liberator w ill immediately take the toad for this city, and cannot believe, that he has discharged his debt as a soldier of his country, until he shall again see her tranquil and capable of disposing of her own destinies. I have the honor to be, with sentiments of the mo-,t profound respect, your excellency's most obedier t scrv J. R REVENGA. Secretary to the Liberator, &c. PROCLAMATION Simon H')livai l.tbrratcr President. l?c Colombians Your enemies threaten

the destruction of Colombia. It is my duty to save it. Fourteen years I have been at your head, by the almost unanimous wish of the people. At every peiiod of glory and prosperity, I hae renounced the supreme command with the purest sincerity: I have desired nothing so much as to divest myself of public power, the instrument of tyranny, which I more abhor than ignominy itself. But ought I to abandon you in the hour cf danger? Would this be the conduct of a soldier and a citizen ? No, Colombians: I am resolved to prostrate it all; lor anarchy will not icstorc liberty, nor rebellion the constitution. As a citizen, Liberator and Piestdent, my duty imposes upon me the g'oiious necessity of saci ificing myself for you. I march there: e, to the soulhcto confines of the He; lie, fo tisk my life and my glory, to deli-, tr you ftom the peifulious, who, after hiving ttamp!ed on their most sacred obligations, have spread the standard of treason, to invade the departments which are the most loyal and the most worthy of your protection'.

The ultras are still excited on account of tne removal of Hyde de Neuvillc. A letter from Havre, dated June 6th, says, Com.

The Editor of the Liverpool Courier says We arc glad, however, that what appeals to us to be the right principle, has been very explicit Iv ass med to on both cides : that our interference h confined to the protection ot our at I v from the inva sion and machinations of a foreign power ; ami that it is not to be considered as an intir fc: cure with the right of the pco pie of Poitugal, if they choose it, even to go wieng. and to reject the cuiitiiiition altogether ' Greeee It appears by the accounts which have been received from various quarters, that the affairs of this country are approaching towards a favorable crisis The best authenticated statements confirm the intelligence of the Greeks, under the command of Gen Church, Karaiskaki, Colonels Gordon. K Idrgger, Sc Colocotroni,. having attacked Redschid Pacha, before Athens, on the 9th of Apiil. ai.d the two following days ; and, after an obstinate engagement, compelled him to abandon his tntrenchments, and retreat to the distance of two hours march from the ci'y Ry this, event, which it is hoped w ill lead to the final deliverance of the Acropolis, the Greeks would be enabled to convev an immediate supply of provisions into the citadel. The events

by sea, arc also staled to be equally favor- , able to the cause of the Greeks. Ten vessels laden with warlike stores, intended forthe Seraskier had been taken or destroyed in the gulf of Volo. The Austrian Observer of the 29th May, contains an extract from the new Journal, published weekly at Hydra, in the Fiench language, under the title of Abeille Grecque. No. 2, of the lOih of April, contains the following proclamation ot Loid Cochrane to ihc Greeks : To the Cornmitteee cf Government of Greeee. " A battle, glorious to the Greek cause, has been fought to-day. It was commenced by the matines, who were landed on the several points of the coast of the Peninsula, (Munichya. ) and drove before them the enemies who were posted there. The land troops, not willing to be surpassed in courage by the marines, aLo rushed on the enemy. While the Hydriots and Spezziots were making themselves masters of the enemy's position in the Peninsula, the troops advanced on the other sides of the Pit eus, whence, at ihis unexpected attack of the Greeks, the I m ks fled like u flock thrown into confusion. From this day begins a new era in the military system of modern Greece. If every one behave to morrow, as all, without exception, have behaved to day, the siege of the Aciopolis will be raised, and the liberty of Greece ensured. My wishes and my desires are, that the Gi ceks may obtain liberty for a period longer than that in which they have endured slavery, and that their g:ory may e qual lhatof their ancestors. COCHRANE.
