MEXICO AND COLOMBIA,
WehaFe laid aside many papers reia4 ting to the affairs of these countries, but there is too much to do with the busi~

 aess of our own, just now, to make room for thcm- The accounts are contrzss1ic- tory and we must wait knowledge of facts in the results that snail happen.- So much, however, is manifest tf.at both are distracted by factions ard parties, and it appears most probable that civ il war rages in both; the generals being rather disposed to fight each other than not hold imposing commands.

 It may farther be observed, that the. following facts appear-that General Guerreropresident of MeMcohasretired to his estate, and that Gen. bustamente has taken charge of the government, which it isexpeeted that he will resign whenane president shal9beappoHateds Uen. Santa Anna seems also to have re- tired. Gen. Bustamente Is reported to have accomplishedallthis withoutmuch opposition; which shows that the people .of Mexico are mere things to De played with by their generals. And 1t also ap- pears that general Paez recognized as commander in chief of Venezuela had been received at Caracas in triumph, at whieh he pledged himself to resist the " tyranny of Bolivar or any other des- pot, and he was supported by generals Bermudez, Marine, Arismendi, Monagas Gomez, Masero, infante, alero, Cara hama, ,&c. He thought it prudent to send 3, OOO infantry and 1000 cavalry to watch the movements or. meet the army of general Bolivar, which force he pro- posed to increase to 10000 men. All the

 ' enezulian generals are to serve with out pay against the Colombian general, or king, as the case may be; and Paes had farther given 10000 dollars to the public contribution, which soon amount ed to 300,000 dollars. All these things are nlanagedb by the military ;and let who rise or fall that may, we expect no per- manentgood from them. Liberty may be sought and found among laatrels, but a. hides only with the oak. The sword that emancipates, if not submitted to the plough-share, seeks the dominion that it won, and will not be satisfied without the enjoyment of power, even though buried in the bosemso of those whomit defended.

 1t was such submission that gave the name Of Washington to immortality! ls stands alone.---no other of the modern world approaches it. The sobriety and meekness of his private life, after he had laid down his arms the liberty of his na-s tive land being accomplished, the mod eration and equity with which he held the first chief magistracy of his countryv are unparalled an ever green and fruit tul basis, in the vast desertof intolerance, tyranny and blood.--Nales' Reg.

 Some idea of the amount of intercourse existing between the United States and Great Britain, may be formed from the fact, that the ships Chrlsmagne and Will liam Thompson, recently arrived at New York from Liverpool brapeh ht over no less z than 4 ((1f) Ieffera
