might tend to dishonor and degrade the republic
from the. rank of a free fcove reign and indepen

raised her.
The royal commissioners then offered a safe
conduct lo any commissioners whom the repub
lican government should think proper to send to
Spain, for the purpose of explaining thtir views
btid wishes to the king; observing, at the same
time, that they had no power to lrel on the terms
suggested by the other party.
'The republican com mmkmers replied, that
they could not reconcile the sincerity of the'
king's professed wishes for a pacification, with
the want of suitable powers in hi commissioners
toefieet the object on the only admusible terms;
and that as ignominy, in place of peace, had been
offered, it was not strange that Col&mbu refused
lo hear the royal commissioner;.
Here the negotiation terminated, on the 20th
f August, having lasted only one day. It is
said, from a suspicious source, that it was to be
renewed; and that the royal commissioners left
Caraccas, with that-view, for the head-quarters
of Bolivar, on the 24th of October.

COLQMM.Vr REPUBLIC.
By the Mr ta, from Angostura, we have letters
of date 23d Oct. from Which we make the lol low
ing short but pithy extract :
41 The atTdirs of the patriots improve every day.
Since the Spanish constitution has been publish
ed, great desertions from the enemy have taken
place; in some instances, colonels with whole
battalions have come over. These are triumphs
of opinion, infinitely superior to triumphs gained
in the field. The army of New-(;renad.begn
ta move on the 20th ult. frbm Gucuta towards
Venezuela. The advanced guard consists of up
wards of 4000 men, under the command of Gen.
Urdaneta. Gen- Paez will form a junction with
it about Guanari,itis supposed, in all December.
Morillo is in the neighborhood of Valencia and
San Carlos, where he appears determined the
grand struggle shall take place. We have good
reason for anticipating a favorable issue. Bolivar
in person has been moving through the depart
ments, and inspecting corps, and promoting uni
formity of organization. He will lead, at least,
1 2,000 men well armed. Jurora.

a prisoner in that city, and is well known to many

where they remained prisoners of war for sever

A Diewerij0iT readers will no doubt recol

Febuary, on ita way from that place to Charles

ver, on the night pfjhe,3 1 t f boul fifteen miles
from Coosawatchie, containing a Urge amount of
post and Iwnk notes, 8cc. No traces of the con
tents of that mail have been discovered till yestcr
day, when si well dressed man, calling himself
Patrick Smith, presented for payment at the
Phoenix Bank, two post notes, of 1 00 dollars each
remitted in that mail to a merchant of this city,
the pay of which, together with six others oMhe
same denomination, remitted at that time, had
leen stopped, and the amount paid to the real
owner of the notes, on a bond of indemnity. The
man, on being questioned, gave contradictory
statements, and showed evidence of guilt. While
he was thus diverted by vatious questions at the
bank, a clerk went to the Police Ofhce, and re
turned with Messrs. Hays and Curtis, who ap
prehended the man, end found in his possession

urther examined and committed to prison. I rom
his examination, it appeared that he had been
employed as a paver at Savannah, and arrived in
this city last Sunday, in the brig Telegraph, since
which he has provided himself with a new suit
of clothes. It has been ascertained that he brought
a considerable quantity of baggage, although he
denies the fact ; and hopes are entertained that
liis apprehension may lead to a discovery of the
remainder of the money. A. York Gazette. -
