nounccd trail, at-tne last election, " me votes of Delaware, Mississippi, Vermont, Missou ri, Virginia, North-Carolina, Louisiana, Indiana and Illinois, might by possibility, have been lost. In that event, if a hasty calculation of his were not incorrect, the result would have been to take from one candidate twentyeight votes, leaving htm with seventy one; to take from another candidate eleven votes, leaving him with seventy-three ; to deprive the third candidate of twenty-six votes, leaving him only fifteen, and thus excluding him from the house, while the fourth candidate, losing only three and being left with thirtyfour votes, woul(J have been brought into it as one of the three from whom the choice Was to be made." . 1 BALTIMORE, August 12. The brig President, which has arrived at Philadelphia, in eleven days from Laguira, brought us letters Sc papers to July 26th. By the following documents it will be perceived that the people of Colombia, or a large portion. of the'm, have invested Bolivar with full and sufficient powers to regulate and guide the affairs of their government, in the manrier he may deem best calculated to en Sure their prosperity, and to, avert any evil that may threaten them. This act, whilst it lias surprised us by its suddenness and irregularity, shows in a strong light, the confidence of the people of Colombia, in the wisdom and patriotism of their Liberator. That he will exert the powers with which he has been clothed to promote the welfare of his country, we are warranted in predicting from the whole tenor of his life, and the uniform and unequivocal manifestations he has so of ten given of hi entire devotion to the good of Colombia. She has, ever since i he period of her liberation from the yoke of Spain, been the prey of the dissentions arising from a difference of opinion, among her rulers as to the fundamental principles of republican government, and had at one lime, appeared to be advancing steadily in the march of improvement, and at another, to have been thrown

back by some unexpected eve.nt to a state of

original confusion. REPUBLIC OF COLOMBIA. . A. Paezy Sufierior Chief of Venezuela, &c. Head Quarters Valencia, 7 15th July, 1828. y To the Intendant of this Department,

I have the honor to enclose you a copy of

an act passed at a meeting held on the 1 3th of

June last, in the Capital of the Republic, in

vhich the Intendant of the Department of

Cundimmarcrr, with the other civil and ec

clesiastical authorities; fathers of families,

and respectable proprietors there, invest exclusively with the supreme command of the republic his excellency the Liberator Presi

dent, with full powers in all the branches of

the government, in order that he may organize them as may appear to him most gener

al advantageous, for preserving the union

of the republic, seruriug its independence, and re-establishing its credit abroad at the same time revoking the powers conferred on

the deputies to the convention from that province. You will als'i perceive that this so Iemnact was made known to the council of

government, which bv it s communication of

the same date, sign'hes its approbation ol the

steps takjen ; and finally, that his excellency

the Liberator President, on the 16th of the

same month, in the capital of Socono, otTici

?lly announcer tlrat he is resolved to exert his authority and energy in the service of the

state, a copy of which accompanies this. Thus has been sanctioned the uniformly expressed wish of the people of the three de partments under my command, and their ar

dent desires as manifested in their petitions,

forwarded bv me, that his excellcrcy the Li

berator President, should take upon him the

supreme command ot tnc state, preserving

the unity of the republic. I congratulate the

worthy inhabitants of this department in the

happy accomplishment of their wishes, and

may Colombia be renovated, and obtain nnd

er the favorable auspices of its benefactor,

that piosperity and happiness of which it had

been deprived by the former administration

Be pleased to make known this praiseworthy

act to the illustrious municipalities, and to

the inhabitants of this province, for their in formation, giving to its promulgation the so lemnity due to an act as august as it is wor

thy of the Colombian people. (Signed) jose antoine paf.2. The declaration of gen Paez is followed by those of the departments of Bogota, of the city of Valencia, and the province of VenezuelaI he true ground of the sudden incs titure of Bolivar with almost unlimited sway, ivill be found in the following extract from the address of the intendant of Cundinamarca to the citizens of that department. Imminent dangers surround us, and call upon us to adopt measures for our salvation Peru provokes and insults us she has assembled an army upon our frontiers, and has never yet abandoned the project of possessing hetself of the three departments of the south Spain-is making extensive preparation to invade us She has drawn together at Havana a large land and sea force, Sc only waits for a favorable opportunity to attack us." The convention at Ocana had been rendered worse thm useless by the division among the members, and the ambitious plans of Santander ; and upon its dissolution, the eyes ot the whole pat ion were turned upon Bolivar, as the only man who possessed the united qualities of disinterestedness and firmness, in

a sufficient degree, to enable him to rescue

her trom the threatened danger of civil war

on the one hand) and foreign invasion on the

other.

Extract of a letter to the Editor of the Bal

timore Gazette dated Caracas. July 26 11 The enclosed documents will shew the political state of Colombia 1 look upon the country as saved from anarchy and confusion. At the expiration of the present constitution, say in 1831 the people will have a government better adapted to them, and of a strong republican nature. The convention has been disgraced by the conduct ol general Santander, whose wretched administration of the government since 1821, has been one of

the principal causes of the great financial

distress that has occurred. The elevation of Bolivar, to his present exalted situation, has given rise to the usual expression of discontent and dissatisfaction, upon the part of disappointcd.cotnpetitors Among the principal of these is gen. Santander. His agency in getting up the mock scheme of nobility, detailed in the following extract of a letter, cannot be doubted for a moment. Its absurdity is, however, too apparent to admit of its misleading the people of Colombia Colombia and Peiu are, at this moment, upon the eve of a war, to ensure the success of which, on the part of Colombia, Bolivar has been clothed with supreme authority. And yet the paper spoken of in this letter, would convey the impression that these two governments were not only at peace with each other, but actually about to join their destinies together under an absolute monaich Caracas. July 26, 1828 I send by this conveyance a pamphlet containing all the acts of the different departments of Colombia, (so far as those acts have been celebrated and proclaimed) declaring Bolivar supicmc chief of Colombia or, in other words, Dictaloi which is the first step to the lofty station of an emperor. u We have not yet heard from the department of Maturin some persons are of opinion that the thing will not sit well on the sto

machs of generals Bermudez and Maiino,

though for my own part, I do not believe that

any immediate opposition will be made, but what may grow out of it in eight or twelve months, would be difficult iCj say. I have endeavored to get a paper which was printed in Bogota two dys after Bolivar was proclaim ed supreme chief, but as there are but few ol thcm,a?rd those few in the hands of the natives, I have not been able to succeed in getting one. This paper contains a plan for forming an IiTipeiial republic, to be composed of Colombia, Bolivia and Pt.ru, over which Bolivar is to preside for Vife, and the impciia! diadem to he hcicdi'ary. Three ptinccs are to be chosen from tin- principal chiefs ot the revolution : one to preside over c?.ch pro vince of the imperi ! republic for instance, we shall have gen. Pat z. pi ii.e e ol Cak.mbia those princes are to be tcgt:l"i!y elected, and afterwards hercditaiy. 'I here arc to bv chosen from the fiibt oder ol Liber Mors, ore hundred Knights ; and from the second otri er, fiftv Kn'urht ncns'onei s : the titles :di to

be hereditary. These- nobles ate to lorm the court of his Imperial Majesty and Lima is to be the capital of the empire, or of the Im perial republic. 1 regiet exceedingly that I cannot get this paper to send you, because it contains so much nonsense you would find much amusement in tianslatir.g it. Latent froia England By the packet ship Yotk, captain DeCnst, which anived last evening ftom Liverpool, we have icccived London papers to the 23d of June, and Liver pool to the 24th inclusive.
