VEsEzUELA. by letters aud papers 10 the 9h
instant received by the schooner Martha Elizabeth
at this port, have information Of the occurrence
OF popular disturbances, growing out of the disss-
isiaetion Of political party in Venezuela at the
suit OF the late election for president Of that repub
lie. This party, (caed GuEmSaislos, from the
Of their leader Guzman) claims the election of their
fayoritei at the same time that Il ID decided that
there u no choice by the people, and, consequently,
the election is TO he made by the next Congress.


General jose Antonio Paez, the former Pres-
dent, had been appointed genera-in-chief OF the
army OF the republic, and had issued very pa
uiouc address TO his country men, calling upon
them to suppress sediton, and maintain the honor
and tranquility Of the republic. '


IL appears by an official note that Col. Guerrero,
commanding party of government troops, had en-
countered IN the plains, at place called Laguna de
iedrs, on the 2Sth Of September party Of the fac
persed them, leaving 100 dead on the field OF battle
and greater number wounded or drowned in the
Tisnados. Col Guerrero took no prisoners.


The government Of Caracas had ordered the APP
prehenslon OF Guzman the cause and prime
mover Of these tumults but he could not be found
until after much search. The Puerto Cabello Diario
Of the 9Th instant, says that he had been appre-
hended at the house of female friend in Caracas.


There were hye candidates for the presidency
viz;


General Bartolome Salon, General jose Tadeo
Monagas, Manuel Felipe Tovar, Col. Jose Felix
Blaneo, and Antonio Leocadio Guzmsn.


The latter is popular with the lower classes, but
there is doubt that before this the factions are
put down, and government and order firmly estas-
lished.
